Now we get down to brass tacks!
"You want me to meet you for lunch? What would Lois say?"
"I don't know. You can ask her when you arrive."
"Oh, she'll be there?"
"Linda, she is my wife."
"Yeah, I wish we could change that." That last was muttered almost under her breath, but Clark's super-hearing picked it up. Then she said, aloud, "I'll meet you at twelve-thirty."
Once a man stealer, always a man stealer. I totally get why Lois is concerned with having Linda around her husband. Nonetheless the dialogue here sparkles!
