Perry White : Two weeks leave, no pay, that's your penance. You try something like this again, you're done here.
Lois Lane : [turning to leave] Fine.
Perry White : So let's make it three weeks, since you're so willing to agree with me.
Lois Lane : Perry...
Perry White : No, no. Don't. Don't. I believe you saw something, Lois. But not for a moment do I believe that your leads just went cold. So whatever your reasons are for dropping it, I think you're doing the right thing.
Lois Lane : Why?
Perry White : Can you imagine how people on this planet would react if they knew there was someone like this out there?

Lois Lane : What Colonel Hardy and his team surmised was a Soviet-era submarine was actually something much more exotic. An isotope analysis of the surrounding ice bores suggests that an object had been trapped in the glacier for over 18,000 years. As for my rescuer? He disappeared during the object's departure. A background check revealed that his work history and identity had been falsified. The questions raised by my rescuer's existence are frightening to contemplate, but I also know what I saw. And I have arrived at the inescapable conclusion that the object and its occupant did not originate on Earth.
Perry White : I can't print this, Lois. You might have hallucinated half of it.
Lois Lane : What about the civilian contractors who corroborated my story?
Perry White : The Pentagon is denying that there was a ship.
Lois Lane : Of course they are. That's what they're supposed to do. It's the Pentagon. Perry, come on, it's me we're talking about. I'm a Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter.
Perry White : Then act like it.
Lois Lane : Print it or I walk.
Perry White : You can't. You're under contract. I'm not running a story about aliens walking among us. Never gonna happen.
