Darth Michael: Thanks for reading and your
comments.
“Actually, it was his idea,” Linda said.
ER: /sooooo surprised that Lex would do this to Lois./
LEX: I know. Hard to believe, isn't it?
He has trouble to comprehend that Lex is just plain bonkers?
He has trouble understanding why anyone would do this to someone they supposedly love. I, also, find it difficult sometimes to understand what some people could possibly be thinking. I find writing from those people's POV very depressing, but I digress...
You mean, like Amy on The Big Bang Theory does with her monkeys?
Perhaps.
AMY: I should have thought of using a human. They usually *don’t* fling feces at you when they’re displeased.
She has met Howard, hasn't she?
SHELDON: I know what you must be thinking. But if I waited until I found someone my intellectual equal, I’d still be single.
AMY:
Sheldon just admitted that he loves me!
SHELDON: I did? Humans are so difficult to understand. Their logic is so illogical.
And yet, he froze, lied, and dumped her. Some of those things, repeatedly.
Ironic, isn't it?
CLARK: Really? You *have* to mention those?
Yes.
To be fair, I think sociopaths can be very easily understood. You just have to think what your cat would do, then take away the compassion.
Obviously, you've never met my cats.
Except, why does he need her to do that when she's already agreed to marry him?
Like Clark always trying to “rescue” Lois from dangerous situations?
Oh, did you notice that too?
But, according to various TV shows, what 90% of the male population would do.
So, you're saying that TV writers are wrong?
Huh, Lois? But… /backtracks/ Oh…Duh!
Yep, you were right the first time.
So the Superman reveal won’t be that hard on her?
Hmmmm. That's a toughy. Rules apply differently to her. She's a woman.
You’re still engaged to the third richest man in the world. We’re even.” Linda stood up to leave, but Lois blocked her path. “Take it up with him, Lois.”
She does hear herself, right?
Yes, but Linda doesn't know that Lex has no qualm about killing people.
Yes, or he's innocent.
Is Lois wearing a slutty nun’s costume in it?
No. He means for putting the semi-naked pictures in the Bible.
You’ll excuse me if I won’t wait for this to play out…
No, no! I promise this story is over after 4.5 parts! Come Baaaaaaaack!
“Metaphorically,” she clarified.
Yes.
LEX: She means an overdose of Metaamphetamines. About an amphora full of the stuff.
No, that's not what Lois meant.
Wouldn’t that reveal his little secret?
LOIS: Ooooh! Is that Superman who is happy to see me?
CLARK:
EW: I didn't mean that literally.
Oh, thanks.
They just stuck her in Lois’s apartment? Isn’t that dangerous?
Because so many people have attacked Lois in her apartment? They HAD tied her up, so anyone who breaks in to do Lois harm will surely feel as if they've arrived too late.
/confused/ Clark now too believes Lex is innocent?
Maybe he was.
You know that Nigel was always trying to become #1 in Lex's organization.
I’m terribly sorry, sir. I didn’t realize that the gun was loaded. Or that there would be more than one bullet in there. But let me thank you for that Cayman Islands Bank account. I will take good care of your investments there for you.
In Clark's defense, he doesn't know that Nigel is formerly of the MI5.
Next to his home movie of a scantily clad harem’s girl doing the dance of the even veils?
How'd ya guess?
As if we couldn’t tell by the lack of scantily clad groupies transitioning through his private office in the Superman Foundation.
Well, as this is still S1, yes.
MURRAY BROWN:
ER: /Not quite sure what changed Lois's mind/
TEMPUS: /denies everything/
So, you don't think Clark helpful non-confrontational behavior didn't make her re-think his earlier argument?
So, she’s not putting out so he’s putting her out of her new office? Can’t she sue for sexual harassment?
In an office where Cat walks through in a bikini? Doubtful it will stick.
Nope. She's the real deal.
ER: /confused/ No, that can’t be it.
So, Miss EverSoBlind couldn't fall for another con-man's bluff?
LEX: 12 peers would say otherwise. If the state of New Troy could find 12 more 3rd richest white men in the world.
I'm sure if he could find 12 billionaires to be on the jury that would suffice.
Huh, I guess the bureaucracy is slower than human resources?
Usually.
LEX: That’s slander. I can be as slippery as human intestines spilling out of a body that fell from a sky scraper. Here, let me proof it to you!
We believe you, Lex.
LOIS: He might be daft, but I still lo-like him like a little brother.
She didn't say that. Then again, she didn't not say it either.
GOODE: Not for another two and a half years or so…
That timetable might move up a bit.
Maybe she’s run out of chocolates back home?
I'm sure Lex put her on a pre-wedding diet.
CLARK: Even I know that would be dangerous idea.
Also, umm…summer of 1994? I guess the Internet really was kickstarted by online porn.
LOIS: I was nude. It wasn't pornographic!
CLARK: She wasn't nude.
Well, to teenage boys even a woman in her late 20s seems old.
LOIS:
MID-20s, thank you very much!
One wonders how they know that so precisely.
Educated guess perhaps?
Now look at that. This *must* be really important news.
Of course! The financee of the 3rd wealthiest man who just happens to own their news network has released some photographs of herself when she was college.
ANCHOR: And in other news, Lex Luthor has decided that he unfortunately had to call off his engagement to Ms. Lois Lane after it became public that she was doing tricks and porn during her college years. While Mr. Luthor isn’t personally blaming Ms. Lane for her life choices, he may be quoted to having a responsibility to uphold the values and morals of this great city and society in general. He and Ms. Lane parted amicably and he hopes that she will get the counsel needed in her difficult time while she is attending the Carlin Center for Drug Rehabilitation.
Something of the sort. Although, it was more of disagreement of what "freedom of the press" meant. He thinks it means privacy; she thinks it means she can post semi-naked photos of herself.
Also, extra ‘at’ in there.
Sorry, last minute change there. I'll fix it.
They brought the photo with them to show to Clark?
Um... well, actually 'yes', but they'll wait until Lois goes to powder her nose.
And now for the conclusion…
Well, I couldn't leave Lois and Clark's relationship hanging in the balance, now could I?
