Hi,
Lois (signing her hospital discharge sheet): I swear the number of times
I've signed one of those. Lucky for us The Planet's got great coverage.
Lucky for me anyway. Bet your deductible is through the roof. He doesn't have to
worry about his insurance since he doesn't need it thanks to his heeling power?
No. Your deductible is very, very high.

'Deductible' is the amount that the insured person must himself pay in any insurance claim. It reflects the likelihood that you are going to have a lot of claims. Here, it's an ironic suggestion that any insurace comapny that insures Superman will make him pay himself for most of the cost of the damage he causes.

Clark: Something like that.
Lois: What are these for?
Clark: Nothing says "sorry my doppelganger from a parallel earth
tried to kill you" like flowers.
Lois: I think there's a card for that now.
Clark: The store was out. The store was out of those cards? Yes, the store was out of cards that say"sorry my doppelganger from a parallel earth tried to kill you". It's a humorous remark, since such cards do not exist.
