Lauren Tom: Angela Chen

Quotes 

• Angela Chen : Got time for a statement, Superman?

  Superman : You wouldn't want it. Thanks for your help, Jimmy.

  Angela Chen : [as Superman flies away]  Cut. Hey, Olsen, you're friends with Superman, right? Want to do an interview?

  Jimmy Olsen : Uh, I-I don't think I'd be real comfortable with that.

  Angela Chen : Why not? Camera shy?

  Jimmy Olsen : No, but it's not like I'd call us pals or anything.

  Angela Chen : Well, you know him, right?

  Jimmy Olsen : Yeah.

  Angela Chen : That's good enough for me.

• Angela Chen : So, how would you characterize your friendship with Superman?

  Jimmy Olsen : [edited to fit the narrative]  Real comfortable. I'd call us pals.

  Angela Chen : [in the studio]  There you have it. Superman has a pal. My investigative team has uncovered link after link between the Man of Steel and James Olsen, Jr., "Jimmy" to his friends.

  [cut to interview] 

  Angela Chen : According to our research, you single-handedly saved Superman's skin from both the Parasite and Luminus. Plus, we're told you went undercover at his request to crack Intergang's connection to Apokolips. Is all of this true?

  Jimmy Olsen : Yeah.

  Lois Lane : [watching on TV at the Planet]  What? Hold it right there. First of all, Superman saved us from Luminus, not the other way around. And second, what am I, chopped liver?

  Clark Kent : Aw, I'm sure Superman likes you, too.

• Jimmy Olsen : You've gotta take back that story about me. I almost got killed last night.

  Angela Chen : Take it back? I make him a star, and this is the thanks I get.
