Ching: Next, to prove your worthiness to rule, you must face a physical test...

Clark: I thought you tested me back on Earth.

Clark: Wait a sec. You're telling me that to prove my royal ability, I have to play dodgeball?!


When in doubt, think about penguins. It probably won't help, but at least it'll be fun.
