LOIS: How about this? If he wants to be Jerome Lane, he’s more than welcome to that name. I’ll be Lois Kent. He can take my family and I’ll take Martha and Jonathan. That’s a fair trade, right?
CLARK: <clears throat> I know of a better way for you to become Lois Kent.
LOIS: Not in this lifetime.
Clark:Well, Lois, my way required way less paperwork, and judges never overturn it. Your way more often leads to judges putting a break on the name changing plan.
Lois believed she was reading between the lines, unfortunately she read wrong.[/Quote
Probably in large part because Clark "forgot" to explain he was from a different Smallville and shipped off to a different Wichita. OK, I can see why he neglected that part, but it is the source of Lois' confusion.
[Quote]He said he knew Max Harris, but that wouldn’t necessarily mean that Max Harris knew him. We know about well known people in our community without them knowing us.
True, but considering his having been said Sherrif's twin sister's boyfriend, it would seem a bit odd if Max did not recognize him at all.
