Suddenly there was a voice in Lois's ear. "Transfer me to who? I've been holding ten minutes.... Ugh." Pinching the phone between her ear and shoulder, she turned back to Clark. "Okay, here's the scene. Your loving wife of twenty years has spent the entire day at the beauty shop. Dyed her hair red, got it cut ... all to please you. Except she looks ghastly. She stands there when you open the front door, so hopeful ... and says 'Honey, do you like it?' What do you do?"
Clark smiled at this little game, "My wife of twenty years would know I love her the way she is. Why would she dye her hair red?"
Banter is the food and fuel of a happy marriage!
As Lois and Clark started to turn to go, Perry added, "There is something else I'd like you know, though."
They stopped and turned back to him. Lois asked, "What's that?"
Perry steepled his fingers as he said, "The minute you step outside that door, I no longer know. And I don't want to know anything else worth ... knowing ... in the future."
Lois and Clark both nodded an acknowledgement and headed out the door.
Perry watched their retreating backs and smiled. He had reasserted his supremacy again.
This was one of the best scenes in the series and showed the talents of Lane Smith to the max! Well done.
Clark showed some level of understanding as he said, "The worst kind. It can attack any computer system, taking on different shapes to avoid detection.
Is that possible?
Martha almost shocked him as she said, "Yes, and you should also know that just because I may qualify for membership in the Gray Panthers, that doesn't mean I'm slowing down. And it doesn't mean that I have to stop growing, experimenting, thinking, making friends with interesting people."
No Martha you shouldn't! There is no reason to think that just because there's snow on the roof, it does not mean there's no fire in the chimney! But next time, tell the poor man what your plans are so he doesn't get upset and run to Metropolis!
Nicely done Ken!
