1. Previously on Smallville:Copy !req
2. A darkness has come to Earth.Copy !req
3. This isn't your fight.Copy !req
4. I'm not gonna stand here
and do nothing.Copy !req
5. You've been on Earth all this time
and you can't even fly.Copy !req
6. The woman that l, uh— That I love,
she sacrificed everything to protect me.Copy !req
7. First I'll eat, and then I'll molt
and then I'll mate.Copy !req
8. I am the Brain InterActive Construct.
Do not underestimate me.Copy !req
9. It is safer if you stay in the shadows.
It's safer for all heroes.Copy !req
10. Maybe people deserve to know the truth.
I am Green Arrow.Copy !req
11. There is darkness in you and great power.Copy !req
12. You're afraid
you'll never be the hero you wanna be.Copy !req
13. You will never be Earth's savoir.Copy !req
14. Good question.Copy !req
15. Maybe you were right, Jor-El.Copy !req
16. Maybe I'm not the one.Copy !req
17. Maybe none of us are.Copy !req
18. Lois. Hey, I'm sorry,
I've kind of been out of it lately.Copy !req
19. I left you a message.Copy !req
20. Yeah, three days ago.
You feeling better?Copy !req
21. Well, no worries.Copy !req
22. You didn't miss anything
in the news department.Copy !req
23. Okay.Copy !req
24. Seems the Blur took
a little vacation this week too.Copy !req
25. - There must be something going around.
- Hmm.Copy !req
26. Hero haters.Copy !req
27. Just when you think the world
couldn't get more upside-down, right?Copy !req
28. People probably don't wanna put their hope
in someone who's gonna let them down.Copy !req
29. He never would let us down.Copy !req
30. The Blur, I mean.Copy !req
31. And this person, for one,
is gonna stand by her hero...Copy !req
32. - ... no matter how much mud they sling.
- Why?Copy !req
33. Because that's what you do
when you believe in someone.Copy !req
34. You know what you need?
A pick-me-up.Copy !req
35. Thanks, Lois, but I don't think playing
quarterback is gonna make my day.Copy !req
36. Depends on the cheerleader.Copy !req
37. Come on, did you forget?
Tomorrow's our Smallville High reunion.Copy !req
38. - Did you say our reunion?
- Yes.Copy !req
39. - You were enrolled there for, like—
- Twenty-three days.Copy !req
40. - You showed up for five.
- That's a record in my book.Copy !req
41. Smallville's the closest thing to a past
this military brat has.Copy !req
42. And I am not gonna miss it.Copy !req
43. We don't have to be dating
to show up at a reunion together.Copy !req
44. There's a lot
of memories there for me, l—Copy !req
45. Come on, Clark,
it would mean a lot to me.Copy !req
46. Seeing all those familiar faces.
It's like I had a place, like I fit in.Copy !req
47. And you...Copy !req
48. I mean, you put the "Smallville"
in Smallville, Smallville.Copy !req
49. Besides, what's the worst thing
that could happen?Copy !req
50. I've wasted a decade picking up
the pieces from meteor-mutant students.Copy !req
51. "How do I get into college
with a criminal record?"Copy !req
52. You can't, freak.Copy !req
53. You see, I have spent years hearing
their stories.Copy !req
54. And— And no—Copy !req
55. No matter how crazy they are,
they always mention one person.Copy !req
56. You.Copy !req
57. Clark Kent.Copy !req
58. So nice of you to come back
to the reunion, save me a trip.Copy !req
59. Looks like your bill is up
and it is time for you to pay.Copy !req
60. It's time to move on from the past.Copy !req
61. Leave Clark Kent to me.Copy !req
62. Guess I just haven't been back
in a while.Copy !req
63. Oh. There's Eddie from chem class.
Hey.Copy !req
64. Oh, and Jake and the cupcake girl
are together now.Copy !req
65. Hi. Sally "Pep Rally" Dickinson
has put on a few.Copy !req
66. Lois, I don't really have
a good feeling about all this.Copy !req
67. Nietzsche? I didn't realize
you had a dark side, Clark.Copy !req
68. - Well, doesn't everybody?
- Yeah, I guess so.Copy !req
69. So, what are you, man or superman?Copy !req
70. Well, look who it is. Clark Kent.Copy !req
71. Have I got something for you.Copy !req
72. A hug.Copy !req
73. Um, thanks.Copy !req
74. Oh, now, don't leave early.
We've got a special treat for you.Copy !req
75. A couple more hugs...Copy !req
76. and maybe you'll have
the bah-humbugs squeezed out of you.Copy !req
77. Welcome back. Isn't this great?Copy !req
78. I have the whole day
mapped out for you.Copy !req
79. Adelia. Laney.Copy !req
80. - Lois Lane. Chess Club?
Uh...Copy !req
81. I sat through an entire game once?Copy !req
82. Whatever.
Come on, let's go.Copy !req
83. Mark.Copy !req
84. Hey, Mark. Smoking times, huh?Copy !req
85. Should I know you?Copy !req
86. Like you don't remember
behind the gym on a smoke break?Copy !req
87. I mean,
I was chewing gum at the time, but—Copy !req
88. Really? Nothing.Copy !req
89. Hey, Lois. Let's, um, go inside.Copy !req
90. Clark.Copy !req
91. Ha, ha. I can't believe you're here.Copy !req
92. What happened to the bumbling nerd?Copy !req
93. Susan Capra.Copy !req
94. Suzanne, actually.
You always mixed us up.Copy !req
95. Well, you haven't changed a bit.Copy !req
96. Bak, bak, Crow.Copy !req
97. Oh.Copy !req
98. - Oh. Here you go.
- Thank you.Copy !req
99. Are you his plus one?Copy !req
100. I went to school here, people.Copy !req
101. Lane. Lane, Lane, Lane.Copy !req
102. Lang.Copy !req
103. Wow, old flames.Copy !req
104. I should've known this would happen.
I haven't seen her since...Copy !req
105. your barn when we were about to—Copy !req
106. She's not coming.Copy !req
107. I forgot how many memories
you have here.Copy !req
108. It started out as a scrapbook
and just kind of mutated.Copy !req
109. What is it?Copy !req
110. I call it the Wall of Weird.Copy !req
111. So, what do you think?Copy !req
112. Clark.Copy !req
113. I'm sorry.Copy !req
114. Maybe I shouldn't have
brought you back here.Copy !req
115. Oh, my God.Copy !req
116. - You were friends with Chloe Sullivan.
- Yeah, what happened to her?Copy !req
117. She was the rising star of the
Daily Planet like she always dreamed.Copy !req
118. - And now—
- It's like she just vanished.Copy !req
119. Like someone found out
that she knew too much.Copy !req
120. Looks like somebody took a bite
out of Chloe's conspiracy cookie.Copy !req
121. I'm sorry to disappoint you,
but Chloe couldn't make it.Copy !req
122. Wait a minute, I know you.
You're Lois Lane.Copy !req
123. Yes, thank you.Copy !req
124. You dated the Green Arrow,
a.k.a. Oliver...Copy !req
125. - Oliver Queen.
- Oliver Queen.Copy !req
126. What's it like
to date a real superhero?Copy !req
127. It— It was really quick, just a flash.Copy !req
128. But I would date one again
in a heartbeat.Copy !req
129. - So this is all that's left of the Torch?
- Are you kidding?Copy !req
130. We carry the Torch with us every day.Copy !req
131. Everything you need to know about
the mysterious and unexplained.Copy !req
132. The Wall of Weird has gone viral.Copy !req
133. - The Blur.
- What?Copy !req
134. Okay, promise not to tell anyone.Copy !req
135. Okay, we have a theory
that the Blur was born...Copy !req
136. - And raised in Smallville.
- ... in Smallville.Copy !req
137. Okay, I think your virtual weird wall
has left you a pushpin short.Copy !req
138. You're the one who writes about him.Copy !req
139. You seriously never considered
that all of these miraculous saves...Copy !req
140. that Chloe wrote about in the Torch...Copy !req
141. started right before
the Blur showed up in Metropolis?Copy !req
142. I wouldn't waste
any more time on the Blur.Copy !req
143. Seems like he's gone away
and I'm not so sure he'll be back.Copy !req
144. I think what Clark is trying to say,
is that it's great that the Blur...Copy !req
145. has been there to be a role model
for kids like you to look up to.Copy !req
146. I mean, how many people in the world
has he inspired?Copy !req
147. Exactly. Maybe it's a good thing
he didn't show up for the reunion.Copy !req
148. - He would've stolen your thunder, Clark.
- What thunder?Copy !req
149. Okay, Crows, give it up for your
alumni homecoming king, Clark Kent.Copy !req
150. Now, this is the homecoming
I'm talking about.Copy !req
151. Thank God you squeaked out that state
championship in your senior year.Copy !req
152. One! Two! Three!Copy !req
153. Come on, Crows!Copy !req
154. My sincere apologies for interrupting
this festive trip down memory lane.Copy !req
155. - Brainiac. I thought we destroyed you.
- Hmm.Copy !req
156. Whatever you want,
leave these people out of it.Copy !req
157. Oh, don't worry,
I'm only here for you.Copy !req
158. I wanted to slow things down.Copy !req
159. Make sure you can soak
in this special moment.Copy !req
160. And what's so special
about this moment?Copy !req
161. This is the moment
that your life changes forever.Copy !req
162. I don't know if you're a ghost or
the darkness Jor-El warned me about...Copy !req
163. but this will come to an end
just like it did the last time.Copy !req
164. - I hope so, for your sake.
- For my sake?Copy !req
165. You sent the person that I love away.Copy !req
166. You tried to destroy Chloe,
you tried to destroy the world.Copy !req
167. And you saved me from all that, Kal-El.
I've come back to do the same for you.Copy !req
168. The Legion? You're from the future.Copy !req
169. - What did you do to them?
- I joined them.Copy !req
170. In the 31 st century,
I'm known as Brainiac 5.Copy !req
171. The ring, time travel, all my creations.Copy !req
172. I brought the Legion
into a new realm of heroism.Copy !req
173. - They helped me destroy you.
- No, they helped you cure me.Copy !req
174. The problem is, Kal-El,
you and I aren't very different.Copy !req
175. We were both created
in one way or another by Jor-El.Copy !req
176. Both intended to save civilizations,
to bring peace to a brutal world.Copy !req
177. But neither of us
was immune to corruption, to darkness.Copy !req
178. And what does that mean?Copy !req
179. Everyone's telling me
I've a darkness within me.Copy !req
180. But I don't understand what it is
or how I'm supposed to change it.Copy !req
181. You destroyed cities.Copy !req
182. I may not make the right decisions,
but at least I'm trying to save people.Copy !req
183. Then let me show you, Kal-El.
We can't always see it in ourselves.Copy !req
184. My corruption started
with a nanobyte.Copy !req
185. Smaller than the eye can see.
But that's all it took.Copy !req
186. My father's funeral.Copy !req
187. If you're trying to save me somehow,
why show me this?Copy !req
188. Because this was a defining moment
for you.Copy !req
189. Perhaps the defining moment.Copy !req
190. The day that you started
to blame yourself.Copy !req
191. Why wouldn't l?Copy !req
192. I chose to change fate.
It was my fault that he died.Copy !req
193. Was it?Copy !req
194. Dad.Copy !req
195. I won't let you destroy my family.Copy !req
196. We can withstand anything
you bring down on us.Copy !req
197. Because we have each other.Copy !req
198. That's what will always separate
the Kents from the Luthors.Copy !req
199. Now, why don't you get—?Copy !req
200. - You can't change his fate.
- He was just protecting me.Copy !req
201. And that was his choice.Copy !req
202. Whether it happens
this day or any other...Copy !req
203. Jonathan set his own destiny
into the motion.Copy !req
204. You know that.Copy !req
205. You just won't let yourself believe it.Copy !req
206. - Why won't you forgive yourself?
- He didn't have a choice.Copy !req
207. He's my father, of course
he'd sacrifice anything to protect me.Copy !req
208. We always have a choice, Kal-El.Copy !req
209. Your father didn't have
to care for you the way he did.Copy !req
210. Yet still he made
that choice every day he was with you.Copy !req
211. He chose to be your protector.Copy !req
212. Just as you've chosen
to be the Earth's protector.Copy !req
213. Nobody forced that on you,
yet you embraced it.Copy !req
214. Nobody made that choice for you.Copy !req
215. We all choose our own fate.Copy !req
216. Fans and protestors alike are in an outcry...Copy !req
217. for the playboy-turned-Green Arrow
Oliver Queen...Copy !req
218. who dropped
his shocking announcement...Copy !req
219. and has since vanished from society.Copy !req
220. I got kids. What happens when they
grow up and wanna be vigilantes like him?Copy !req
221. It's great he's helping people, but we...Copy !req
222. - This isn't a memory.
- No, it isn't, it's the present.Copy !req
223. He lied to us all along.Copy !req
224. We can't trust him.Copy !req
225. If you're trying to make me feel guilty...Copy !req
226. you just said
that we control our own fate.Copy !req
227. Oliver made his own decision
to come out to the public.Copy !req
228. He didn't think about what it would mean
to the rest of us.Copy !req
229. If you really are
the hero you say you are...Copy !req
230. don't you think it's time
to face the public?Copy !req
231. We're waiting for some answers.Copy !req
232. - Any calls?
Where do you wanna start?Copy !req
233. CNN, BBC, Dr. Phil?Copy !req
234. No, I mean, any calls?Copy !req
235. Oh, um, I'm sorry, sir.
Mr. Kent hasn't left a word.Copy !req
236. He's always so Oliver.
I didn't know that he needed me.Copy !req
237. But he does.Copy !req
238. I don't know how not returning his calls
amounts to some darkness within me.Copy !req
239. You don't see it?Copy !req
240. The darkness is the past.Copy !req
241. And you hold on to it and you dwell.Copy !req
242. You punish yourself and everyone
around you for past mistakes.Copy !req
243. We don't have the privilege
of mistakes.Copy !req
244. Even if we don't expect perfection
from ourselves, the world does.Copy !req
245. - You heard what they said.
- Then help Oliver be who he can be.Copy !req
246. Today, tomorrow.
Be there for him now.Copy !req
247. And stop punishing him for his past
with your silence and your distance.Copy !req
248. Let it go.Copy !req
249. Find me hereCopy !req
250. And speak to meCopy !req
251. Which one of these has the punch in it,
if you know what I mean?Copy !req
252. Sorry?
We have lemonade and strawberryade.Copy !req
253. Yeah, but—Copy !req
254. Strawberryade.Copy !req
255. Lois, huh?Copy !req
256. - So who you here with?
- I'm an alum.Copy !req
257. That's leading meCopy !req
258. Lois Lane.Copy !req
259. To the placeCopy !req
260. - I'm with Clark Kent.
Really?Copy !req
261. Oh, I just always thought Clark
was so dreamy, you know.Copy !req
262. That farm boy next door
turned local football hero.Copy !req
263. Doesn't get any bigger than that.Copy !req
264. Ha, ha. Funny, I always thought
he and Chloe were meant for each other.Copy !req
265. They had that whole
"best friend with hope of more" thing.Copy !req
266. - Chloe's my cousin.
- Yeah, but then there was Lana.Copy !req
267. I mean, how gorgeous can you get,
right? And hardworking.Copy !req
268. I mean, how many cheerleaders run
a coffee shop in high school?Copy !req
269. Lana and Clark were perfect.Copy !req
270. You know that first love,
you never get over it.Copy !req
271. - I think I hear the veggie platter calling.
- Wait, so you're not hitched to Clark?Copy !req
272. Not exactly.Copy !req
273. - Are you engaged?
- Nope.Copy !req
274. Oh. How long
have you been seeing each other?Copy !req
275. Well, we're not, really. Right now.Copy !req
276. So you're the moth, not the flame.Copy !req
277. And not be moved by you?Copy !req
278. Are you sure he likes you?Copy !req
279. Would you tell me, how could it beCopy !req
280. Any better than this?Copy !req
281. Correct me if I'm mistaken,
but you care about Lois, don't you?Copy !req
282. All I've ever done was protect her
after what happened with Lana.Copy !req
283. Interesting outcome.Copy !req
284. Lois doesn't seem
especially protected.Copy !req
285. You spend so much time dwelling on
the darkness of the past...Copy !req
286. you're missing the present
that's right in front of your eyes.Copy !req
287. It's one of the people
I put away in high school.Copy !req
288. You don't know what he's capable of.
I need to get back.Copy !req
289. To do what? Weren't you about
to hang up your shield?Copy !req
290. I have a message for Clark Kent.Copy !req
291. - Give me the ring.
- Wait for the moment.Copy !req
292. No, Kal-El, you haven't learned
the full lesson!Copy !req
293. MAlL CLERK:
Whoa, buddy.Copy !req
294. - Hey, watch it.
- Lois.Copy !req
295. - How—?
- Not again.Copy !req
296. Come on.Copy !req
297. - Wait, did—?
- Seriously...Copy !req
298. I know we agreed we would keep
our professional lives to ourselves...Copy !req
299. but what kind of secret story
got you to dress-up day?Copy !req
300. Here, hold this.Copy !req
301. And I know that you don't like them, but
you decided you wanted to wear them.Copy !req
302. - And lucky for you, I have a spare. There.
- What—?Copy !req
303. Hey,
I know they are not fashion-forward.Copy !req
304. But if it ain't broke, honey,
don't fix it.Copy !req
305. Seriously, Clark, I thought we agreed
on a Daily Planet dress code.Copy !req
306. Lois, wait. How did you get here?Copy !req
307. - I need to know about the reunion.
- We need to table this all until later.Copy !req
308. We cannot have
people thinking things.Copy !req
309. Perry, how many times have I told you
that Troop can find his own sources?Copy !req
310. I told you it's not him.
It's just the guy from the eighth floor.Copy !req
311. Kent, what are you doing?Copy !req
312. This is my desk.Copy !req
313. Not for years, unless
somebody's been seriously demoted.Copy !req
314. Years?Copy !req
315. Clark? What are you doing?Copy !req
316. Lois, we need to talk.Copy !req
317. Ugh. Gloat all you want.Copy !req
318. But those names are getting flipped the
second the boys from ops do a fly-by.Copy !req
319. Clark.Copy !req
320. Clark,
what is going on with you today?Copy !req
321. - It's like you've never been here before.
- I haven't, Lois.Copy !req
322. I'm from another time.Copy !req
323. No kidding? Clark, you're from a different
planet. That's not exactly a news flash.Copy !req
324. - What did you say?
- I didn't mean to come off so Lois.Copy !req
325. It's just that sometimes
when you get pensive...Copy !req
326. I know that you have the whole "last son
of Krypton" thing on your shoulders.Copy !req
327. But that's why you've got me, okay...Copy !req
328. to remind you that if you were going
to land your spaceship anywhere...Copy !req
329. you couldn't have chosen better
people to find you than the Kents.Copy !req
330. So you need to snap out of it.Copy !req
331. Wait, I know what this is about.
I forgot again, didn't I?Copy !req
332. Our anniversary.Copy !req
333. Our anniversary?Copy !req
334. Oh, don't play dumb,
you always hold it over me.Copy !req
335. The day you told me.
The day you finally trusted me, it was—Copy !req
336. It was romantic,
and it was the perfect day and—Copy !req
337. Okay, I always forget about it
until the last minute.Copy !req
338. But I swear it is not until—Copy !req
339. See? I told you.Copy !req
340. So, what is it?Copy !req
341. Wait a minute.Copy !req
342. Oh, no. Kryptonite again.Copy !req
343. Look, l—Copy !req
344. Blue? Red?Copy !req
345. Not green.Copy !req
346. Please tell me it's not black,
that was a disaster.Copy !req
347. Look, I just—Copy !req
348. I need the Legion ring.Copy !req
349. - Lois, do you know where it is?
- Is that a joke, Clark?Copy !req
350. Touch it once, shame on you.
Touch it twice, shame on me.Copy !req
351. And actually,
I could really use it right now...Copy !req
352. because we have to be on opposite
sides of town in 10 minutes.Copy !req
353. And unlike you, I have to drive.Copy !req
354. I can't keep the mayor waiting.Copy !req
355. - Lois, I'm not supposed to be here.
- I know, we're late.Copy !req
356. Late? Lois, I need to get back.Copy !req
357. Look, the Legion ring
is the only way to do it.Copy !req
358. Back?Copy !req
359. Okay, why don't you check
your trunk of tchotchkes at the farm?Copy !req
360. Isn't that where you keep your phantom
catchers and fortress disks and stuff?Copy !req
361. And if you need me, I'm there.Copy !req
362. No deadline is more important than you,
okay?Copy !req
363. Going up, you're going down.Copy !req
364. She's a handful, isn't she?Copy !req
365. You're right on time.Copy !req
366. - You knew I'd be here?
- Time travel, think it through.Copy !req
367. Because you were me
when you went through this and I'm—Copy !req
368. Well done, my man.Copy !req
369. How did I become so uptight
and nerdy?Copy !req
370. No time to chat about how, where, why.
We've been through weirder things.Copy !req
371. - I need you on the roof.
- When did I start taking orders?Copy !req
372. There's a nuclear reactor
about to blow outside of town.Copy !req
373. - I can't be in two places at once.
- if you knew, why didn't you stop it?Copy !req
374. You never would've experienced all this,
and you never would have become me.Copy !req
375. Well, that's too bad.Copy !req
376. Roof, now.Copy !req
377. That's what I become.Copy !req
378. Mayday, mayday,
we've lost control. We're going down.Copy !req
379. Mayday, mayday.Copy !req
380. Tower, this is November, zero, one,
niner, niner, whiskey.Copy !req
381. We've lost hydraulics.Copy !req
382. What are you doing?Copy !req
383. I don't know what's gotten into you.Copy !req
384. There is a pilot
with a migraine when he wakes up...Copy !req
385. who wishes you could have
at least thrown on the cape.Copy !req
386. Lois, you protected my secret.Copy !req
387. What else was I gonna do?Copy !req
388. I would do anything for you.
Hardly a news flash.Copy !req
389. Thank you.Copy !req
390. Oh, you drive me crazy.Copy !req
391. I guess I should get going.Copy !req
392. Oh. Right, obviously.Copy !req
393. Busy day for a superhero.Copy !req
394. Don't be late,
dinner reservation's at 7.Copy !req
395. Not every man
is destined to find a woman like Lois.Copy !req
396. She's definitely one of a kind.Copy !req
397. - I know why you sent me here now.
- I intended to be here with you.Copy !req
398. But you interfered with the ring.Copy !req
399. You wanted me to see how things
would be with Lois and flying.Copy !req
400. I wanted you to see that your darkness
lies not only in dwelling upon the past...Copy !req
401. but in fearing the future.Copy !req
402. I've always hoped my life
would be like this.Copy !req
403. With Lois. Well, with all of it.Copy !req
404. Lately, I've stopped believing
that it could actually happen.Copy !req
405. Well, that's up to you, isn't it?Copy !req
406. You don't need
to worry about the future, Kal-El.Copy !req
407. You can see that it's just fine as long
as you shed the weight of the past.Copy !req
408. It's just, the next time you decide
to defy me...Copy !req
409. don't strand me back
in the dark ages.Copy !req
410. I have a message for Clark Kent.Copy !req
411. Yeah? How about, "Don't leave
your date with Punch Bowl Maddie"?Copy !req
412. Something tells me
it's for a good reason.Copy !req
413. You know, Clark is the reason
a lot of us are still here.Copy !req
414. Oh?Copy !req
415. I kind of got caught up in my web
of obsession, and he set me straight.Copy !req
416. It's not every place that
has a hometown hero like Clark Kent.Copy !req
417. That's the kind of guy he is.Copy !req
418. Just tell him. Tell him thank you.Copy !req
419. I guess you're right.Copy !req
420. I've been so buried
by the mistakes of my past...Copy !req
421. and so worried about
the responsibilities of the future...Copy !req
422. I lost sight of the present.Copy !req
423. A hero is made in the moment.Copy !req
424. Not from questioning the past
or fearing what's to come.Copy !req
425. Just remember that, Kal-El.Copy !req
426. And how can I stand here with youCopy !req
427. And not be moved by you?Copy !req
428. Would you teli me how couid it beCopy !req
429. Any better than this?Copy !req
430. How could it be any better than this?Copy !req
431. Thank you ali for coming.Copy !req
432. We'll see you ail back here
in another five years. Bak, bak, Crows.Copy !req
433. I'm sorry.Copy !req
434. That's okay.
Who wants a dance anyway, right?Copy !req
435. You saved me the blisters, Smallville.Copy !req
436. Besides,
I have an eariy deadiine tomorrow.Copy !req
437. Why put off tiil tomorrow
what you can do today?Copy !req
438. - You're quite a handful, Lois Lane.
- Look who's talking.Copy !req
439. You were right, Dad.Copy !req
440. I never stopped blaming myself
for what happened to you.Copy !req
441. it was a way to not have to let go.Copy !req
442. That's exactly what I have to do
to move on.Copy !req
443. To get rid of the darkness of my past
I've been carrying around.Copy !req
444. To be there for the people
who need me now.Copy !req
445. You said to hold on to Smailville.Copy !req
446. I will, I won't ever forget.Copy !req
447. Because you'll be with me
no matter where I go.Copy !req
448. But I have to say
the one thing I never could.Copy !req
449. Goodbye, Dad.Copy !req
450. I promise
to be the man you knew I could be.Copy !req
451. You're all set.Copy !req
452. All right, settle down, people.
We're close.Copy !req
453. Okay, get ready, we're going.
And three, two, action.Copy !req
454. Good morning, Metropolis.Copy !req
455. We have a very special show
for you this morning.Copy !req
456. We have an exclusive interview...Copy !req
457. with a very special guest
who needs no introduction.Copy !req
458. Metropolis' infamous bad boy...Copy !req
459. and seif-admitted practicing vigiiante,
Oliver Queen.Copy !req
460. Or should I say the Green Arrow?Copy !req
461. - What's on your answering machine?
- Yeah, that's—Copy !req
462. it's not every day a biilionaire admits
to parading around in leather...Copy !req
463. playing cops and robbers. Why do it?Copy !req
464. Were you just getting bored sitting around,
counting your money...Copy !req
465. decided to play dress up
and it just stuck?Copy !req
466. How does that work, exactly?Copy !req
467. Huh.Copy !req
468. I think our audience
would like some answers.Copy !req
469. I lost someone.Copy !req
470. She meant everything to me.Copy !req
471. So for that you want, what...Copy !req
472. - ... a merit badge and special rights?
- No.Copy !req
473. No, you're right, I'm not special.Copy !req
474. This isn't about who I am,
it's about what I do.Copy !req
475. And I don't think I'm the first
rich boy who felt that way.Copy !req
476. John F. Kennedy once said:Copy !req
477. "Ask not what
your country can do for you...Copy !req
478. but what you can do
for your country."Copy !req
479. So now you're— You're comparing
yourself to a fallen hero of this country?Copy !req
480. Why not? He saw the hero in all of us.Copy !req
481. I'm not dwelling on revenge
for past atrocities...Copy !req
482. or looking ahead to what I can
personally gain from a few tax breaks.Copy !req
483. Driiling oil wells in the ocean, putting up
razor fences to keep out immigrants...Copy !req
484. who only want
what our grandparents wanted.Copy !req
485. in this world of armchair bloggers...Copy !req
486. who created a generation
of critics instead of leaders...Copy !req
487. I'm actually doing something.Copy !req
488. Right here, right now,
for the city and for my country.Copy !req
489. And I'm not doing it alone.Copy !req
490. You're damn right I'm a hero.Copy !req
491. Clark?Copy !req
492. Not that I'm an interior designer...Copy !req
493. but one of these things
doesn't exactly go with the other.Copy !req
494. I'm sorry we missed our dance.Copy !req
495. You don't need to worry about me,
Clark.Copy !req
496. if anybody understands deadlines
and urgent things, it's me.Copy !req
497. I'm not worried about you.Copy !req
498. I missed you.Copy !req
499. Oh.Copy !req
500. Well, I don't know, neither of us
are primed for Dancing with the Stars.Copy !req
501. And, speaking strictly as friends,
I don't know if this is such a good idea.Copy !req
502. Lois, get over here.Copy !req
503. I'm not sure
how we're gonna make this work...Copy !req
504. without the jukebox nostalgia
and the balloons and—Copy !req
505. - Lois.
- Shut up?Copy !req
506. Right, shut up. Ha.Copy !req
507. Ow!Copy !req
508. - Ah.
- Sorry.Copy !req
509. - I'm the one who put my feet under yours.
- Um, but l—Copy !req
510. - it's fine.
- Let's just try this.Copy !req
511. I love you.Copy !req
512. I love you too.Copy !req
513. Clark, there's something
we need to taik about.Copy !req
514. Just for now, can we ieave tomorrow
till tomorrow and just have this?Copy !req
515. Mm-hm.Copy !req
