“Lois? Well, she and I haven’t been getting along all that well lately. She seems to be obsessed over some feud between her and Linda and it’s becoming very difficult to work with her because of it. She’s constantly anxious, on the verge of some embarrassing outburst, continually criticizing my work. Even last night, after I walked Linda to the train station, she blew up at me and stormed off.”
This seems pretty unprofessional of him. I expected Clark to make vague references to his "problems" with Lois, not complain about her. In general, criticizing previous employers and coworkers is considered a big no-no in job interviews. I think it works here because of Carpenter's and Linda's dislike of Lois, and Clark is using that to his advantage.
Now, Linda, I have you scheduled to cover the Orani Jewels presentation for this afternoon.
I hope there's not a cat fight.
“Well, we were trying to put on a show the other night to help insure that Clark could get a job at the Star and we both said some things to each other.”
That's "ensure", not "insure".
I really enjoyed the Superman/Lois banter at the end. If he's not careful, though, she's going to want his phone number so she can get a hold of him as easily as Clark does.
this is one of the Lex free season 1 episodes, we aren't supposed to see Lex in it.
