2. The winner of today's game will move on to
the state championship 1 week from today.Copy !req
3. Play your game, buddy.Copy !req
4. A victory today will send the crows to
the state championship.Copy !req
5. So, are you the guy?Copy !req
6. I guess that depends on what
you're looking for.Copy !req
7. Mikhail Mxyzl...Copy !req
8. Mxyzptlk.Copy !req
9. Let me guess, you want to buy a vowel.Copy !req
10. No, I just wanted to put 80 on the game.Copy !req
11. You mean the game that started already.
Sorry I can't take a bet after the kickoff.Copy !req
12. Rookie, huh?Copy !req
13. Well, maybe in your case,
I'll make an exception.Copy !req
14. Thanks. Can you
put me down for Smallville to win?Copy !req
15. You sure about that? I have a funny
feeling about the quarterback today.Copy !req
16. Well, as much as I hate to admit it, I
never bet against Clark Kent.Copy !req
17. Suit yourself. Don't say I didn't warn you.Copy !req
18. Rule #1: A bet is a bet.Copy !req
19. Alright guys here we go.
Ready?Copy !req
20. Blue 32, Blue 32...
HUT!Copy !req
21. Trip.Copy !req

What a victory!Copy !req
24. Unbelievable!Copy !req
25. "Jinx"
Season 4 Episode 5Copy !req
26. Original Airdate Nov. 3, 2004Copy !req
27. Is he okay?Copy !req
28. His collarbone's broken in 2 places.Copy !req
29. I can't figure out how you could pommel
a guy that outweighs you by 100 pounds,Copy !req
30. and shatter his collarbone.Copy !req
31. I'm sorry.Copy !req
32. Must have been an accident, I mean,
I got a surge of adrenaline.Copy !req
33. Adrenaline doesn't explain the fact that
you went from chucking bails of hayCopy !req
34. to chucking 60-yard passes overnight.Copy !req
35. I guess I'm a fast learner, you said
yourself I was a natural.Copy !req
36. A natural who adamantly refuses to get a
doctor after he collapsed 2 weeks ago.Copy !req
37. What are you trying to say?Copy !req
38. Coach Quigley thinks you're on some kind
of performance-enhancing drug.Copy !req
39. Like steroids?Copy !req
40. What do you think?Copy !req
41. I put myself on the line and said there's
no way Clark Kent would do that.Copy !req
42. I'm not on drugs.Copy !req
43. I hope not. Because if it comes out you're
not on the same playing field as these guys,Copy !req
44. it's gonna be pretty disappointing to
forfeit an entire championship season.Copy !req
45. And a college career.Copy !req
46. I can't imagine what it must have been
like to grow up in a war-torn country.Copy !req
47. Obviously. This is as far you can get
from scavenging the street, but,Copy !req
48. Growing up "hand-to-mouth" does tend to
make you resourceful.Copy !req
49. Resourceful enough to get the attention of
my father's LuthorCorp foreign scholarship.Copy !req
50. So how do you like Smallville high.Copy !req
51. I think it is the perfect place for me to
make my American dream.Copy !req
52. There are many opportunities,
and the girls are... pretty.Copy !req
53. I hope the classes aren't
too difficult for you.Copy !req
54. I reviewed your application; I must say I was
surprised by your poor test scores and grades.Copy !req
55. Look Mikhail, I'm just curious why
my father would award a scholarship,Copy !req
56. historically earmarked for future Nobel-
prize-winners to a perennial "C" student.Copy !req
57. You want to send me back.Copy !req
58. No.Copy !req
59. I'd just like to know
what you're really doing here.Copy !req
60. What potential did my father
see in you, Mikhail?Copy !req
61. Cut.Copy !req
62. Potential you do not see on a
report card, Mr. Luthor.Copy !req
63. Hey!Copy !req
64. I didn't realize bookies made house calls,
especially after-hours.Copy !req
65. Well, I guess I just walked into
the Lion's mouth, eh?Copy !req
66. What are you talking about?Copy !req
67. You're a first timer, and you show up at the
end of the season, I asked some questions.Copy !req
68. I don't think it is coincidence that you are
Smallville's most notorious whistle-blower.Copy !req
69. Notorious, huh? I like the sound of that.Copy !req
70. - This bet was just research for the article?
- Front page if you play your cards right.Copy !req
71. I don't suppose that being a local
celebrity will be good for business.Copy !req
72. I think maybe you should
change professions.Copy !req
73. You just found my Achilles' Heel.Copy !req
74. - What, greed?
- No, pretty girls with infectious smiles.Copy !req
75. I'm still writing the article.Copy !req
76. If you don't even know when to place a bet,
I don't think you have the inside scoopCopy !req
77. you're looking for. Promise not to mention
my name, and I'll let you "shadow" me,Copy !req
78. I'll be your personal escort through
the seedier parts of Smallville.Copy !req
79. If I cut you a break, I expect a full
behind-the-scenes story.Copy !req
80. Of course, and the first stop
is the Winner's Circle.Copy !req
81. So, what are you going to do
with the money?Copy !req
82. - Textbooks.
- Ooh, don't go too crazy, huh?Copy !req
83. My dad's on unemployment, so my college
fund took a massive hit this year.Copy !req
84. How would you like to make enough money to
pay an entire semester of tuitionCopy !req
85. before you wake up
tomorrow morning?Copy !req
86. I have to go to the Shark's game
in Metropolis tonight. Sharks...Copy !req
87. 8-to-1.Copy !req
88. Chloe, if you want the big article you have
to get inside the mind of a gambler.Copy !req
89. You have to be ready to raise the stakes.Copy !req
90. That is, if you aren't scared.Copy !req
91. Count me in.Copy !req
92. There's more to life than
championships, Clark.Copy !req
93. I bet it's easy to say that when
you have one.Copy !req
94. Dad, when I put on that uniform,
it's like I forget who I am,Copy !req
95. but at the same time, I've never known
myself better. It's more than just a game.Copy !req
96. Clark, I allowed you join the football
team because I though you understoodCopy !req
97. your responsibility not to let anybody
get hurt out there.Copy !req
98. And I accepted that responsibility because
I know I can control my abilities.Copy !req
99. Then explain to me why there's a kid lying
in a hospital bed right now?Copy !req
100. Have you ever seen me trip... Ever?Copy !req
101. Something happened out on that field,
it's like I couldn't control my own legs!Copy !req
102. Just because you are strong, doesn't mean
you can't get rattled out there likeCopy !req
103. anybody else. I'm sorry but the last place
you should be is on that football field andCopy !req
104. you know it. Coach Quigley's at the party
tonight. I'll call him and be the bad guy.Copy !req
105. No, Dad. Like you said,
It's my responsibility.Copy !req
106. Coach, can I talk to you for a second?Copy !req
107. What's up?Copy !req
108. Kent, you saved the day! What a play!
You put us in the championship!Copy !req
109. No, the team put us in the championship.Copy !req
110. - I can see the ring on my finger already.
- I can see the scholarships lined up.Copy !req
111. Clark, you're here!Copy !req
112. Coach, coach, coach!Copy !req
113. Topeka West may have 3 titles under it's belt,Copy !req
114. but I know we have a real shot at the
championship, and this year we got it all.Copy !req
115. An impenetrable defense,
an aggressive offense...Copy !req
116. And a GOLDEN ARM!Copy !req
117. Let's go take the title home!Copy !req
118. Kent, Kent, Kent, Kent!Copy !req
119. I like the new textbooks!Copy !req
120. Hi! Don't worry, I just took 10 percent
off the top for fun, the rest of myCopy !req
121. winnings are tucked safely away
for college tuition.Copy !req
122. I'm glad that my tip paid off for you.Copy !req
123. Are you kidding me?
That game was awesome!Copy !req
124. I haven't had that much fun on a couch
since Johnny Rosenblatt in 5th grade!Copy !req
125. I mean, all of those painted "beer-bellies"
and foam hands suddenly make senseCopy !req
126. when you have something riding on the game!Copy !req
127. See, why would want to spoil all the fun
by writing that article?Copy !req
128. Because it just keeps getting
juicier by the minute.Copy !req
129. Are you sure about that?Copy !req
130. Why, are you going to do something
to change my mind?Copy !req
131. Nice try, you're very cute. But I already
gave you anonymity, andCopy !req
132. - it's going to press tonight.
- But you're only starting to scratchCopy !req
133. the surface, and I can give you
so much more "dirt".Copy !req
134. You're just trying to stall
the article, aren't you?Copy !req
135. I don't think you understand me, Chloe.Copy !req
136. I always get what I want.Copy !req
137. On looks, apparently, because your
charm just ran out.Copy !req
138. Stop.Copy !req
139. Kiss me.Copy !req
140. This is me asking you nicely.Copy !req
141. Now you're going to drop that article,
whether you want to or not.Copy !req
142. I've never seen you miss before.Copy !req
143. I've also never seen you shrink from
responsibility, no matter how difficult.Copy !req
144. You saw the look on those guys' faces, I
couldn't let them down.Copy !req
145. I just thought I could find a way to
play like everyone else.Copy !req
146. Clark. Open your hand.Copy !req
147. What are you doing?Copy !req
148. You know how dangerous Kryptonite is!Copy !req
149. I always get better after it's gone.Copy !req
150. So what if I'm playing sick?
Other guys play injured.Copy !req
151. And if Dad know I don't have my abilities
and can't hurt anyone.Copy !req
152. You are not taking meteor rocks on that field,
I know it's hard, you can't make yourself sick!Copy !req
153. And I can't quit either!Copy !req
154. Clark, the answer is no.Copy !req
155. You asked your father if we'd ever seen
you trip before... Never.Copy !req
156. Not without Kryptonite.Copy !req
157. I was so excited to see you get a chance
to be like everyone else, thatCopy !req
158. I guess I forgot for a moment
that you aren't.Copy !req
159. I didn't think anything of it when you
tripped, butCopy !req
160. you've never had mishaps like other kids.Copy !req
161. Something happened to you out there.Copy !req
162. And if you really want to play in
the game on Saturday,Copy !req
163. you need to find out what it was.Copy !req
164. It's alright Clark, you can stay.Copy !req
165. I thought you had some self-imposed
restraining order against me,Copy !req
166. does this mean you're talking to me again?Copy !req
167. No it just means I'm taking a chance on
getting your Dr. Jekyll side today.Copy !req
168. What's up with the self-flogging?Copy !req
169. I'm watching the sports editor's
tape of the game,Copy !req
170. Trying to figure out what happened, but...Copy !req
171. It's like I had no control, like my mind
was sending one message, but my...Copy !req
172. But your body was getting another.Copy !req
173. Yeah.Copy !req
174. It's Mikhail.Copy !req
175. The foreign exchange kid?Copy !req
176. - Mixa...
- Mxyzptlk. Say that 3 times fast.Copy !req
177. He's our new resident "Puppet Master".Copy !req
178. This is kind of embarrassing, but...Copy !req
179. he made me kiss him.Copy !req
180. Made you?Copy !req
181. Yeah, it was just like how
you explained your trip,Copy !req
182. it was like someone else was
controlling me.Copy !req
183. Ok, but, why would he want me
to throw the game?Copy !req
184. Clark, he's the biggest bookie
in the school!Copy !req
185. The power to control the odds.Copy !req
186. Let me do a search on his name.Copy !req
187. "0 Matches Found"Copy !req
188. I guess I shouldn't be surprised that
Mxyzptlk didn't bring anything up.Copy !req
189. Well what's that?Copy !req
190. "Did you mean KLTPZYXM?"
It's Mikhail's name backwards.Copy !req
191. - Looks like a nursery rhyme gone bad.
- Yeah, it's some legend fromCopy !req
192. the Piatori region in the Balkans.Copy !req
193. That's near where Mikhail's from.Copy !req
194. It says the region's been terrorized for
centuries by a bloodline of people,Copy !req
195. who can control the hand of luck.Copy !req
196. It's not exactly luck if they're controlling
people. What does it say about theCopy !req
197. - backwards name?
- The family changed their name a centuryCopy !req
198. ago and fled the area to escape the stigma
after a village burned to the ground.Copy !req
199. Looks like Mikhail's still
running from his heritage.Copy !req
200. It doesn't exactly say how to stop the
kissing bandit, does it?Copy !req
201. Oh, here!Copy !req
202. According to the legends, the only thing
that stopped them was a plague of locusts.Copy !req
203. There may be one other force
they didn't count on.Copy !req
204. Think about it,
who brought him here in the first place?Copy !req
205. You want me to deport a
LuthorCorp exchange student?Copy !req
206. Gambling on Crows games,
isn't a sanctioned extracurricular.Copy !req
207. I'm surprised you care so much
about some half-rate bookie.Copy !req
208. Or is there something else about
Mikhail you aren't telling me?Copy !req
209. Lex, you sponsored him, I just thought
you might want to do something about it.Copy !req
210. Of course I'll look into it.Copy !req
211. I'm surprised you didn't go to the
principal first, or Coach Teague.Copy !req
212. But I see how that can be more
complicated than it sounds.Copy !req
213. Why would it be more complicated?Copy !req
214. Come on.Copy !req
215. I can't be the only one who's picked on
Lana's fondness for quarterbacks.Copy !req
216. Even retired ones.Copy !req
217. Yeah, to be honest, it has been hard
to see her with someone else.Copy !req
218. Don't worry, Paris can have a
magical effect on people, but...Copy !req
219. the enchantment has a funny way
of waning the longer you're gone.Copy !req
220. I know Lana. She's never been this
serious about anyone.Copy !req
221. You sound awfully concerned about that for
someone that let her walk out of his life.Copy !req
222. I guess the whole "If you love them, set
them free" thing kind of backfired.Copy !req
223. It's not about love, Clark. It's about
what you're willing to do for it.Copy !req
224. On that field, you'll do whatever
it takes to win.Copy !req
225. But if you're not willing to
do the same for Lana...Copy !req
226. maybe she doesn't mean as much
to you as you think.Copy !req
227. Clark on steroids.Copy !req
228. It's a little hard to picture.Copy !req
229. It happens to a lot of guys.Copy !req
230. Want so badly to outperform everyone,
before you know it, all they care aboutCopy !req
231. is winning, no matter what the cost.Copy !req
232. You're not responsible for Clark.Copy !req
233. Actually I am.Copy !req
234. Coach Quigley asked me to give him a drug
test, and I never mentioned itCopy !req
235. to Clark, so I lied and
said it came back clean.Copy !req
236. Why would you do that?Copy !req
237. I don't know, cause I believe in Clark!
And because he knows about us.Copy !req
238. I didn't want to stir the waters.
If he wanted to get back at me, all heCopy !req
239. has to do is tell somebody at the school,
and I lose my job.Copy !req
240. - Clark wouldn't make it personal.
- Why not?Copy !req
241. I can't imagine what I'd do if someone
tried to take you away from me.Copy !req
242. Nobody took me away from Clark, I left.Copy !req
243. Right.Copy !req
244. Clark's a big part of the reason why
I took off for Paris in the first place.Copy !req
245. Oh, that must be from the book of things you
never want to hear about your girlfriend's Ex.Copy !req
246. Look Jason, I'm with you now and I
couldn't be happier. And I know,Copy !req
247. Clark can be unpredictable,Copy !req
248. but he knows that you need
this job to stay in college.Copy !req
249. I know it's hard because
you've been so close to him...Copy !req
250. But are you sure you really know him?Copy !req
251. Don't get me wrong, Mikhail. I appreciate
your entrepreneurial ingenuity,Copy !req
252. but importing Bookies tends to reflect
poorly on a company.Copy !req
253. These are just fun games.Copy !req
254. The I.N.S. isn't exactly renowned
for their good sportsmanship.Copy !req
255. They're revoking your student visa
and sending you back home.Copy !req
256. But a man like you could pull strings
to keep me here, yes?Copy !req
257. If I wanted to.Copy !req
258. But whatever talents my father
saw in you,Copy !req
259. they're not worth the embarrassment you
bring to me and my company.Copy !req
260. I've made the arrangements, you'll be
halfway across the Atlantic by morning.Copy !req
261. You don't really want that.Copy !req
262. You want to know why your Dad brought
me here.Copy !req
263. Not that badly.Copy !req
264. What if we make a wager?Copy !req
265. Now why would I take a bet when
I can just have you thrown out of here?Copy !req
266. Because I know gamblers better than
anybody. You're the caviar kind -Copy !req
267. See when you hold everything in your
hand, the only thing that can give you aCopy !req
268. thrill, is putting your chips on the
one thing that canCopy !req
269. slip through your fingers.Copy !req
270. And what would that one thing be, Mikhail?Copy !req
271. Well in this case... Me.Copy !req
272. How much do you believe in this
quarterback friend of yours, Clark Kent?Copy !req
273. The Championship Game?Copy !req
274. What's the wager?Copy !req
275. If the Crows lose, you get Citizenship for
me, and $1 million dollars to start again.Copy !req
276. And if the Crows win,Copy !req
277. I have a hard time believing
you can cover that bet.Copy !req
278. I can't. But the reason your
father brought me here isCopy !req
279. far more valuable than just money.Copy !req
280. Oh look. A real, live, American
football superhero.Copy !req
281. What are you doing here?Copy !req
282. I came here to thank you for ratting
me out to Lex.Copy !req
283. It wasn't hard to figure out, I knew Chloe
would squeal, just not to him.Copy !req
284. She's too proud.Copy !req
285. You seemed to be the common denominator, soCopy !req
286. you forget, games are my business,Copy !req
287. so if you don't know the players,
you cannot guess the outcome.Copy !req
288. I thought you'd be halfway back to the
"village of the damned" by now.Copy !req
289. I'm not cursed, Clark.
I am lucky.Copy !req
290. And on Saturday, the championship game,
I'm going to be very lucky.Copy !req
291. If you think I'm going to lose
that game for you...Copy !req
292. If... when there is an if, there are odds,
and I always beat the odds.Copy !req
293. Choke.Copy !req
294. For example, the odds in the championship
are based on you playing.Copy !req
295. If you don't go out on the field, then my
profit margin takes an unfortunate turn.Copy !req
296. That is why you're not going to tell
anyone else about me, andCopy !req
297. you're going to be on that field.Copy !req
298. Unless, you want to see more of your
buddies in the hospital.Copy !req
299. Breathe.Copy !req
300. - Chloe.
- Hey!Copy !req
301. Clark, warm-up in 15 minutes.Copy !req
302. I sure hope you had better luck with the
locusts than I did with Lex.Copy !req
303. They aren't selling biblical plagues on
"Amazon.com", but since every legendCopy !req
304. is born in truth, I did look up our
favorite apocalyptic critters.Copy !req
305. Besides eating crops in a single bound,
what else can they do?Copy !req
306. When locusts swarm, they emit an energy
wave to avoid crashing into each other.Copy !req
307. Maybe Mikhail's commands operate on a
similar frequency, like a radio signal.Copy !req
308. Or a dog whistle, the sound travels but
the human ear doesn't pick it up.Copy !req
309. Yeah. What's interesting is once a locust's
signal is jammed, they can't fly anymoreCopy !req
310. without running into each other.
It's permanent.Copy !req
311. Maybe all we have to do is find something
that will jam Mikhail's frequency for good.Copy !req
312. And I think I know where to find that,
so now we just have to find him.Copy !req
313. Knowing his quest for the American Dream,
he's got a lot of bets riding on this game,Copy !req
314. He'll be here.Copy !req
315. - Ok.
- I gotta go.Copy !req
316. - Good Luck.
- Thanks.Copy !req
317. Greetings Football fans, and welcome
to the Championship game between theCopy !req
318. Topeka Valley Huskies, and your
Smallville Crows!Copy !req
319. Clark.Copy !req
320. What are you doing?Copy !req
321. You know what Mikhail said. He'd hurt
those guys if I wasn't out there.Copy !req
322. 250 pound guys banging into each other on
a football field is one thing,Copy !req
323. but getting hit by you is like getting hit
by a train, it's a big difference, son.Copy !req
324. I hope that doesn't happen. I think Chloe
and I found a way to stop Mikhail.Copy !req
325. Oh Chloe and You think you found a way to
stop. Well I'm sorry son,Copy !req
326. - thinking is not good enough.
- Dad I know you don't agree with me,Copy !req
327. but sometimes taking responsibility
means having faith in yourself to makeCopy !req
328. - the hard choices.
- It also means accepting the consequences.Copy !req
329. Every handshake, every hug, every time
I'm out on that field I make the consciousCopy !req
330. decision to fall when those guys hit me
so they don't get hurt.Copy !req
331. No matter how hard you try,
you can't understand that.Copy !req
332. That's why it's my decision, not yours.Copy !req
333. You're starting to sound more
and more like your father.Copy !req
334. I hope so, Dad.Copy !req
335. Trip.Copy !req
336. Alright, let's go, let's go.
Come on, come on!Copy !req
337. Fumble.Copy !req
338. I knew it was you Chloe!Copy !req
339. Stop.Copy !req
340. Looks like someone's been broken. Sucks
when you have to play fair doesn't it?Copy !req
341. In my country, you don't survive if you
can't adapt to the unexpected.Copy !req
342. 1st down, the Huskies call
their last time-out!Copy !req
343. Clark.Copy !req
344. What are you doing here?Copy !req
345. Here's how the last play in my game goes.Copy !req
346. The Crows score another touchdown,
Chloe's dead.Copy !req
347. If you don't go on the field right now,
and lose the game...Copy !req
348. Chloe's dead.Copy !req
349. Kent. Let's go.Copy !req
350. We need an "Ace-back Montana Post".
This is it. It's for the title.Copy !req
351. Crows have it 1st and 10 on
the 50-yard line.Copy !req
352. 5 seconds remaining on the clock.
Smallville has one more play.Copy !req
353. Blue, 32!Copy !req
354. Hut!Copy !req
355. Touchdown! The Crows win!Copy !req
356. Clark Kent makes another
unbelievable play!Copy !req
357. Come on, man! We're missing the party!Copy !req
358. Looks like championship quarterbacks
no longer have a curfew, huh?Copy !req
359. I'm late...
Sorry.Copy !req
360. Clark.Copy !req
361. Your mother and I know that Mikhail
was arrested.Copy !req
362. Now, when I was out on that same field,
all I had to worry aboutCopy !req
363. was completing the next pass, or whether
or not I was going to get tackled.Copy !req
364. We're very proud of you.Copy !req
365. For everything.Copy !req
366. - Hey you, come on. Night.
- Good night.Copy !req
367. I don't know what it is with you, but no
matter how many times I put you in theCopy !req
368. penalty box, it never sticks.Copy !req
369. I hear you're quite the hero tonight,
Clark Kent.Copy !req
370. Yeah well, if it wasn't for you,
we wouldn't have won the game.Copy !req
371. Yeah well, you can thank Uncle Sam
for that.Copy !req
372. My Uncle Sam.Copy !req
373. It's amazing the access a 3-star-General
has to cool toys. And you never know whenCopy !req
374. a jamming device for Stealth Fighters
will come in handy in a football game!Copy !req
375. Because of that jamming device, Mikhail
can't control anyone anymore.Copy !req
376. Awesome.Copy !req
377. But what I don't understand is how I
miraculously came untied.Copy !req
378. And what I don't understand is how you got
sucked into anything besides anonymous tips.Copy !req
379. Well, we all have our weaknesses, I guess.Copy !req
380. Except for you, of course.Copy !req
381. I think you'll find your new accommodations
a lot more comfortable than county lock-up.Copy !req
382. And where are you taking me?Copy !req
383. Don't worry.Copy !req
384. You're going to have a lot of company.Copy !req
385. I'm not worried, I have the feeling I
can learn a lot from you, butCopy !req
386. I'm just sorry we can't make
good on our agreement.Copy !req
387. You underestimate the value of my winnings.Copy !req
388. I told you Mr. Luthor,
I've lost my talent.Copy !req
389. Mikhail, if there's one thing I've learnedCopy !req
390. is that anything lost,
can be found again.Copy !req
391. If you knew I had a special talent,
then why did you bet against me?Copy !req
392. I didn't.Copy !req
393. I bet on Clark Kent.Copy !req
394. Like I said...Copy !req
395. You're not alone.Copy !req
396. Lana.Copy !req
397. Where's Jason? I've been looking for him,
I actually left him 3 messages.Copy !req
398. Yeah I know.Copy !req
399. I thought he'd want to know that Metropolis
University offered me a scholarship.Copy !req
400. That's great Clark.Copy !req
401. One of the scouts he called saw me
in the game.Copy !req
402. I wanted to thank him for trusting me.Copy !req
403. Well it's too bad that you couldn't
return the favor.Copy !req
404. Jason was fired this morning.Copy !req
405. It's good to know the local football star
still has time for his friends.Copy !req
406. I wouldn't put it like that.Copy !req
407. Wild guess.Copy !req
408. You're not talking about the
"football star" part.Copy !req
409. Maybe I wasn't clear.Copy !req
410. But what you and I talk about is
supposed to stay between us.Copy !req
411. I see.Copy !req
412. So today I'm taking the role of the
despicable untrustworthy friend,Copy !req
413. and as usual our hero is making the fatal flaw
of jumping to conclusions.Copy !req
414. You're going to tell me you weren't
the one who got Jason fired?Copy !req
415. A teacher-student liaison is a taboo
that's pretty hard to come back from.Copy !req
416. Oh, you're going to take the moral
high ground on this?Copy !req
417. Clark, I'd hate to see Lana's infatuation
earn her a "Scarlet Letter" around town.Copy !req
418. Well she has you to thank for that!
Cause you and I were the only two whoCopy !req
419. knew about it, now everybody's talking.Copy !req
420. You didn't do this to protect her.Copy !req
421. You know Lana isn't meant to be with Jason.Copy !req
422. Maybe a year ago, I would've believed that
you got him fired out of some twistedCopy !req
423. loyalty for being my friend. But you
didn't do this for me.Copy !req
424. Why did you do it?Copy !req
