Does that very obliquely mean that this Lois is a little more open with possibly the potential of her feelings for Clark?
. Plus, she found his 'strange'ness 'interesting'
Would be a nice change, for a start, wouldn't it? But since he isn't staring at her in awe, maybe she just has no reason to tell him off?
1 INT. DAILY PLANET - PIT - DAY 1
CLARK bangs away at his word processor. LOIS passes by,
tries to sneak a casual glance. Clark stops what he's doing.
CLARK
Adopted kids looking for their
birth parents, if you have to know.
Lois ticks off points on her fingers.
LOIS
Search for roots. Emotional
roller-coaster. Unrealistic
expectations. Tear-jerker
reconciliations.
CLARK
(impressed)
Quick study.
LOIS
Not really. I did it three years
ago.
Clark is not going to let Lois get to him.
CLARK
There are no old stories, just
new angles.
LOIS
Seems to me if your real parents
don't care enough to raise you,
then why give them a second
thought?
CLARK
Because if they gave you away,
they must have had a reason.
And it's the not knowing that
kills you.
The fact that Clark is really speaking from the heart
about his own situation is lost on Lois.
LOIS
Good. You take the touchy-feely
stuff, I'll take Superman.
I took this excerpt from the script. I guess these few lines are the reason why I thought Clark might feel a bit like an orphan, even though he had a loving family. It's from "Strange Visitor" not "Smart Kids". My apologies.
