The additional points to the Chinese takeout scene is very intuitive:
As she crossed another paper off her 'no date found' list she suddenly realised that Clark had said he knew a Chinese place. He'd only been in Metropolis two days. And he'd spent most of that time here, or with her at Lex's ball. So, actually, he'd spent the last two days with her.
How did he know a good Chinese takeaway already? Maybe there was one near his hotel. She shrugged and returned to work.
Her eyes widened as she suddenly realised how close to being true that statement probably was. Clark's short cut … probably took him all the way to China. And it was still hot because … well, the air at 10,000 feet was probably pretty cold so his short cut wasn't responsible for the heat … his eyes were.
But no matter what, the food must have been delicious!
The back and forth over silly fortunes between Lois and Clark was funny, but I can't help but prefer the original scene. Lois was the perfect example of Career woman ready to make her mark on the world. She really didn't have time for the young man from Nowheresville.
But oh, what fun watching Clark strive to make her notice him!
