Lois & Clark Forums Forums Fan Fiction Fanfic Related Timeline for the Pilot

So timing is one of those things that I'm not the best at... so I would like some confirmation on this. I'm trying to sort out the full timeline for the pilot episode. Does anybody know exactly how many days it takes?

Day 1: Messenger explosion, Platt, Clark's interview, meet cute, etc

(Is the theatre story day one or is it the next day? Same goes for Clark getting hired... feels like it's day 2)

"It's nine, I thought you'd be naked" definitely happened on the next day, but whether that's day 2 or 3 isn't clear to me. And what about the White Orchid Ball?

I don't have time to rewatch it, so if any of you helpful souls out there knows this off the top of your head, I'd be very appreciative. Like, perhaps I'll post another chapter appreciative...

Mouserocks, you may want to check the two scripts script for the Pilot.

Some highlights:

Day 1 - Lois arrives at the Planet as a boy, Clark's interview with Perry, ends with Clark pacing the walls of his hotel room

Day 2 - Clark goes to the Sarah Bernhardt Theater, gets the story and that night types it up

Day 3 - Clark presents his story to Perry, gets hired and the Messenger explodes. A lot happens that day including the White Orchid Ball, and it ends with that scene of Lex and the cobra.

Day 4 starts with Clark rescuing the sewer worker and ends with Lois and Clark finding Samuel Platt's body. Although that might be after midnight and technically the next day.

Day 5 - It starts "Near Dawn" in the scene in Platt's room with the police; the "It's nine; I thought you'd be naked" scene follows. In the script, Lois and Clark meet Amy and Mrs. Platt at their home rather than the newsroom. The day ends with the announcement about the Prometheus continuing and Luthor destroying his space station model.

The script doesn't exactly say Day 1, etc. By checking the subheads (all caps before the action/dialogue), it's usually fairly easy to figure out a day change. I ran out of time to do the rest of the Pilot, but was surprised at how many days were involved thus far.

Edit: I just glanced at the text of Part Two and it looks like it's identical to Part One.
