Wow. What a perfect match! thumbsup They never really used Clark's language skills in the series (except Chinese a few times).

It would make sense to Cat and a little push would be all it would take to make it happen. All kinds of reasons come to mind:

-Clark might want to go so he could keep an eye on Lex.
-Lex (still in his "charming" phase, before he saw Clark as a serious rival) might invite the other couple to chaperone his date with Lois.
-Maybe Cat convinced Clark there was something in addition to a "society" story to be looked into.
-Perry wouldn't have any problems assigning Clark to go with Cat anyway. Perry knows Clark has traveled and Clark would have put his fluency into his resume.
-In fact, if there was any other story that would benefit from having his two star reporters attend Perry'd jump at an opportunity like this.

I think, though, that Cat would more likely be bored during the performance than at intermission. She could see who came and who they were sitting with during the performance but intermission would be her chance to mingle and listen. [/b]
Well, In SuperMann Clark used his Russian skills to read the declassified Russian intelligence document that told them who Lisa Rockford really was. Still, I have to agree Clark being able to order dinner in 200 plus languages was rarely used. In Vatman he uses French and in Witness he used Spanish in Brazil, but that is about it.

This is why they should have gone somewhere on their honeymoon. He could arrange all sorts of good deals with his language skills.

That was why I pointed out both what language he used and where he was, I was mocking this failure of the producers. If Clark can order dinner in over 200 languages, this mistake did not make any sense at all.

What would have been fun in Flyhard is if Lois had said "I am so sad to miss Madame Butterfly, I was looking forward to it."

Clark responds "I can't really sing, but I could recite some of it for you Lois."

Luthor interjects "It won't count if not in the Italian"

Clark:"Of course, it will be in Italian" and then he starts reciting it in the Italianfor a few lines until Perry cuts him off.

No, it would have been funny if Lex Luthor had said this and then a tone deaf Clark had sung it. laugh

A good Cat-based fic is the wonderful Apologia by JDG. Don't miss this fine vignette.

Thanks, Iolanthe! I've always been rather proud of that one. wink

Lois: You know, I have a funny feeling that you didn't tell me your biggest secret.

Clark: Well, just to put your little mind at ease, Lois, you're right.
