I'll come back and edit the rest of this comment. But right now I just have to get this out there:
“Wait, CK. Sarah’s coming.”
Sarah? Sarah?! Zara?! No. NO! NOOOOOOOOO!!! So close yet so far... please, no...
EDIT: .....
Okay. I've actually finished now, and I'm back.
The reference to a non-date date had his hairs standing on end and Clark had said something in anger of which he wasn’t proud. Something for which Lois would probably never forgive him.
Oh, Clark. What this time? It must be really bad if even he realizes it as he says it... usually he just is too dense to notice until Lois stops talking to him.
He had told her that by agreeing to go on a date with Luthor, she had finally made the transition to being a streetwalker.
Yep. You've done it now, Clark. Here's a shovel. Now go dig your grave.
“I do trust you, Lois,” he tried to explain. “It’s him I don’t trust.”
After all his accusations of "Lois, you're cheating on me with mystery future man" and "You're cheating on me with Tempus" and now "You're cheating on me with Luthor" and of course the ever intelligent "you're cheating on me with me!"... you'd think she'd have a hard time believing this.
“Oh. So, now I’m your mother and you’re your father?” he retorted.
Ouch. Sore spot. And an even dead-er man.
Clark was about to run after her when he realized that she had spoken about their relationship in the past tense.
*sniff, sniff* Aw. No! They were so close.
Well, that’s what happens when your heart stops beating, Kent. You die.
I repeat: aaawwww.... /more sniffles/
“What did you do?” his Mom asked, sitting down next to him.
“Who says that I…?” Clark started and then stopped at her skeptical expression.
Yeah. Martha's one smart cookie. Or Clark's a really really slow cookie for thinking he could fool his mom with that. And for everything he said to Lois previously.
Clark shrugged. “And when she made the date she told him she wasn’t seeing anyone.”
Umm, not exactly telling the whole story here, Clark. Aiming for some sympathy votes, are we?
“You’re being investigated?” his Dad gasped. “Clark, you should have told us.”
He didn't? I suppose not. Well, I agree. He should have.
Sure it does, Dad. An idiot that sabotages his own relationship before it has had time to take off. A do-nothing ne’err-do-well? That’s our boy Kent here in a nutshell.
Yay! My favorite line! (refer to siggy)
It was a tossup, which of Clark’s two insults was worst in her opinion.
She could handle sexy seconds… SIXTY seconds of Clark before slamming the door in his face.
Oh, Ivy. Too bad one of Clark's powers isn't mindreading. He'd either think Lois was going insane or more likely begin cavorting with Ivy and plotting Lois' downfall...
They were at the bathroom door before Lois realized Clark had misunderstood. “Clark, I’m not going to take a shower with you.”
“No?” There was that cute, little pout again.
“No.”
So... no? Too bad. That could be great fun... :p
“But I refuse to make love with a man the same day he called me a cheating streetwalker,”
Good for Lois! A girl's got to have some standards. As appealing as Clark in a steamy shower may sound.
“OK. OK. I’m scum. Lois already read me the riot act tonight.”
From his own mouth! Quite an admission for Ralph.
Where could she be? Luthor’s?
Yes.
Clark couldn’t imagine the man making a date for the next evening with a woman he had just met. Even if that woman was Lois. Nor would Luthor make an appointment on a Saturday night.
Yes, yes he could/would/did.
"Did you bring the money?”
Clark nodded. “From last night’s tips. For what do I need it?”
“To pay your employees,” Perry said with a grin.
“They can’t get full-time, but when you noticed you were getting a week’s paycheck for one night of work, you arranged this deal. They get the extra shift under the table and you were able to ease your guilty mind over the extra funds in your paycheck. And I didn’t have the hassle of paperwork and phone calls to the corporate office to straighten the whole thing out.” Perry half-shrugged. “It’s still not one hundred percent legal, but one thousand percent more honorable and less suspicious. Lexco can’t fault you if you actually paid workers to work with the extra funds in your paycheck. And the government can’t really fault you because you did pay taxes on the extra income.”
Another great plan, courtesy of Perry White! I think he may have missed another calling in running scams...
“Wait, CK. Sarah’s coming.”
See first comment/reaction.
“A delivery man?” Sarah’s shoulders fell as she shook her head. “Never mind. It was a shot in the dark anyway. We’ll go to Plan B.”
Why is she being so judgmental and mean? I thought that was more Lana's department.
“I marry and get impregnated by Ching …” She nodded to the man across the street. “And try to pass his child off as yours, claiming you died after our wedding night. Either that or Ching fights Lord Nor to the death, instead of you, for the honor of my hand in marriage.” She said this as if she were simply talking about the weather.
