Studly Do-Right...

Lois: I respect how quickly you managed to get the lowdown (get information out
of her?) on
little Miss Mental Break but sometimes you can be a little gullible.

Clark: Really? Why don't you ask your new friend to weigh in on it?
Lois: I'm not gonna cry wolf just to get a pitty call (For his sympathy?) from Studly Do-Right.
