      Leslie Willis: [as Leslie Willis] What's the deal with you and Superman, huh?

      Lois Lane: What are you talking about?

      Leslie Willis: Come on, you're always getting exclusives with him. Just how exclusive are you two?

      Lois Lane: It's not like that.

      Leslie Willis: Oh it's not, huh? Ah, I guess we'll never know if his pj's have that big red S on them too.
