True Love’s Kiss











SUPERMAN :
How'd you like going solo? 

LOIS LANE :
I loved it... but not as much as being with you. 

SUPERMAN :
I needed to be with you, too. 
You make me laugh. 
You're the only one I can talk to. 
Sometimes, I don't know what I'm supposed to do. 

LOIS LANE :
I'm always here for you. 
You know that. 
You'll do The Right Thing, no matter what it is. 
You always have. 

SUPERMAN :
Thank You. 
You know something? 

LOIS LANE :
What? 

SUPERMAN :
You don't even know my name. 

LOIS LANE :
Kal-El. 

SUPERMAN :
You remember, don't you? 

LOIS LANE :
I remember everything. 

SUPERMAN :
"Never set one of them above the rest. 
Love all humanity Instead." 
It’s not fair. 


CLARK KENT :
Lois. Time to go. We'll be late. 

LOIS LANE :
Huh? What am I doing out here freezing my butt off? 

CLARK KENT :
Oh, you wanted some fresh air. 

LOIS LANE :
That's ok. 
I don't want to catch a cold. 
I feel kind of weird. 
I feel like I have jet lag. 

CLARK KENT :
Jeepers. 

LOIS LANE :
Isn't that crazy? 

CLARK KENT :
Yeah. 

LOIS LANE :
How about you? 
You still down? 

CLARK KENT :
Nope. Things are pretty clear. 

LOIS LANE :
Good — Too much thinking wears down your batteries. 

Clark —You got to go with your gut.






The Power of Love 
in its purest form.

Fairy Tales, especially the edited Disney versions, usually have a few things in common: 

The Rule of Three,
and 
The True Love's Kiss.

Finding your true love will cure 99.9% of magical maladies and curses, restores memories and washes your windows, or your money back! 

Except in the case of the page quote, where you'll get turned into a polyp.

This trope is so ingrained in the psyche of western audiences it will never really be discredited, but often subverted. 

It's actually a Dead Unicorn Trope that's Newer Than They Think — notice how many of the original versions of the stories listed below had nothing to do with a "kiss". 

It is also often modified to True Love's "First" Kiss as an Anvilicious lesson about chastity.

Subtrope and most common form of Magic Kiss. 
Has a tendency to be The Big Damn Kiss. 
Can overlap with Dude, She's Like, in a Coma!.
