Lois: Looks like someone woke up
on the right side of the bed this morning.

Chloe: At least l woke up in my own bed.

Lois: What's that supposed to mean?
l told you, l was working on a story.

Chloe: A story about a reporter and her editor
getting an exclusive between the sheets? Making love?

Lois: Look, Chloe--


Chloe: l know you're impulsive, Lo, but come on.

Lois: lt wasn't impulse. (Temporary crush?) lt's not like l did
a double gainer off a cliff. Jump into a precipice?

Chloe: Don't be surprised
if you pancake (colapse?) faster than you think

l mean, of all the people in the world, you had to end up with your editor?

Lois: Okay, so l strayed into the minefield
of misguided romance again but l swear, Chloe, it had nothing to do
with me getting the job or getting ahead. You don't believe me, do you?


Chloe: I do believe you. The problem is will anyone else, Lois?
Gossip spreads faster than a bad rash.
Sooner or later, people are gonna start scratching. Assuming one thing:
Lois Lane jump-started her career
on her managing editor's DieHard battery. Gluttony for love?

Lois: Let them think what they want. l am not gonna let water-cooler
chitchat
(Gossips?) splash cold water on my previously nonexistent
personal life.
Make her to be with rigged past?

Chloe: A story about a reporter and her editor
getting an exclusive between the sheets? Making love? So it seems.


Lois: lt wasn't impulse. (Temporary crush?) lt's not like l did Not so much a crush as, well, an impulse, a spur of the moment thing done without much thought.
a double gainer off a cliff. Jump into a precipice?

The phrase is "jump off a precipice" but I think Lois means that she didn't do anything that will cause anyone irreversible harm.


on her managing editor's DieHard battery. Gluttony for love?

No, Chloe means that Lois used sex to get ahead in her career.


Lois: Let them think what they want. l am not gonna let water-cooler
chitchat
(Gossips?) splash cold water on my previously nonexistent    Yes. No "s" on gossip.
personal life. Make her to be with rigged past?

She's not going to allow gossip determine how she lives her life.

Thank you, Ray! So by previously nonexistent personal life

she actually means new personal life, doesn't she?

“So by previously nonexistent personal life

Yes. Up to the point under discussion she had no personal life to speak of, now she does.
