1. I think
you missed a spot.
Copy !req
2. Where?
Copy !req
3. Well, I know
what you did this summer.
Copy !req
4. Lois?
Copy !req
5. Oh, don't look so guilty,
Smallville.
Copy !req
6. It's about time you lovebirds
flapped your wings.
Copy !req
7. What are you doing back?
Copy !req
8. We thought you were in Europe
until the end of the year.
Copy !req
9. Hoping.
Copy !req
10. Well, are you gonna stay
with Chloe?
Copy !req
11. Actually, I just ran
into Mrs. Kent at the talon,
Copy !req
12. and right out of nowhere,
Copy !req
13. she asked if I'd like
to move back in at the farm.
Copy !req
14. Yeah, right.
Copy !req
15. Really?
Copy !req
16. I know.
Isn't that sweet?
Copy !req
17. Oh, don't worry.
Copy !req
18. You little snuggle bunnies
can hop around all you want.
Copy !req
19. I'm a heavy sleeper.
Copy !req
20. I'm going for a dip.
Copy !req
21. Think she could sleep
Copy !req
22. through me smothering her
with a pillow?
Copy !req
23. Don't stay in the sun too long.
You're gonna get fried.
Copy !req
24. So, I take it
Lana hasn't gotten a peek
Copy !req
25. into the confidential files
of Clark Kent yet.
Copy !req
26. Chloe,
you think I'm happy
Copy !req
27. about having my powers back
and lying about them?
Copy !req
28. I didn't ask
for this life.
Copy !req
29. We didn't ask for a world
that needs heroes.
Copy !req
30. But the truth is, we do...
Copy !req
31. Now more than ever, Clark.
Copy !req
32. Something's wrong.
Copy !req
33. Go, Clark.
Copy !req
34. Is she all right?
Copy !req
35. I'm working on it.
Copy !req
36. Hey.
Copy !req
37. Maybe you ought
to stick to the shallow end
Copy !req
38. till you learn
how to swim, gorgeous.
Copy !req
39. Maybe you ought to try
breath mints, surfer boy.
Copy !req
40. Name's Arthur curry.
My friends call me a.C.
Copy !req
41. Come on. We got to get you
back to the farm.
Copy !req
42. That was weird.
Copy !req
43. Where did Bobby baywatch
come from?
Copy !req
44. I don't know...
Be he can sure swim fast.
Copy !req
45. Are we talking
olympic-gold-medal fast
Copy !req
46. or meteor-freak fast?
Copy !req
47. No, this is
something else.
Copy !req
48. He can swim
faster than I can.
Copy !req
49. do you know where
Copy !req
50. the greatest supercomputer
in the world resides?
Copy !req
51. Right here.
It's the human brain.
Copy !req
52. Yet we only use 10% of it.
Copy !req
53. Good morning, Mr. Kent.
Copy !req
54. Did we start too early
for you?
Copy !req
55. Sorry,
I kind of got lost.
Copy !req
56. If there are any other
wayward travelers,
Copy !req
57. this is "introduction
to world history,"
Copy !req
58. and I am
Professor Milton fine.
Copy !req
59. But before we delve
into my lectures
Copy !req
60. about the greeks, romans,
and spartans —
Copy !req
61. all of which I'm sure you'll
find very enlightening —
Copy !req
62. let's look
at the word "history."
Copy !req
63. History is not about facts.
Copy !req
64. It's about the context
and who is telling the story.
Copy !req
65. So, what is history?
Copy !req
66. What is her story?
Copy !req
67. What is your story,
Mr. Kent?
Copy !req
68. How will you affect
the world around you
Copy !req
69. for the generations to come?
Copy !req
70. I'm not sure
you can know that at 18.
Copy !req
71. Tell that
to Alexander the great.
Copy !req
72. Or to bring it closer to home...
Lex Luthor.
Copy !req
73. Now, he's not much older
than you are,
Copy !req
74. and yet he's turned
his father's agribusiness
Copy !req
75. into a leading
defense contractor.
Copy !req
76. He's gone from feeding people
to killing them.
Copy !req
77. And yet his story
is that he is a white knight
Copy !req
78. who's just put a small
Kansas town on the map.
Copy !req
79. Beware of white knights, people.
Copy !req
80. They don't, uh, slay dragons.
Copy !req
81. They train them
to suit their own dark purpose.
Copy !req
82. Think of Hitler,
Stalin, Napoleon.
Copy !req
83. Lex is not a Saint...
Copy !req
84. But I don't think
you can put him
Copy !req
85. in the same league
as those guys.
Copy !req
86. An honest opinion...
Copy !req
87. I like that.
Copy !req
88. I think it's full.
Copy !req
89. Customers like it that way.
More bang for their buck.
Copy !req
90. I got a buck.
Copy !req
91. Yeah?
Yeah.
Copy !req
92. You should use it
to get some fashion sense.
Copy !req
93. You know this, uh,
Copy !req
94. whole orange-and-green thing
you got going?
Copy !req
95. It looks like
flipper threw up.
Copy !req
96. I'll tell you what.
Copy !req
97. You show me how to dress
the way you like,
Copy !req
98. and I'll teach you
how to swim.
Copy !req
99. I know how to swim.
Thank you.
Copy !req
100. You're welcome.
Copy !req
101. But... Next time,
I might not be there
Copy !req
102. to suck the water
out of those pretty lungs.
Copy !req
103. Look, I didn't need you
Copy !req
104. to play the paramedic,
fish stick, all right?
Copy !req
105. I just had a little bit of water
down the wrong pipe.
Copy !req
106. You were turning blue.
Copy !req
107. It's a good color on me.
Copy !req
108. Look, it was a freak accident,
all right?
Copy !req
109. I practically live
in the water.
Copy !req
110. Me too.
Copy !req
111. But I can swim.
Copy !req
112. So can I.
Copy !req
113. I'm a great swimmer.
I can swim like a fish.
Copy !req
114. Prove it.
Copy !req
115. Professor?
Copy !req
116. I'm sorry to bother you,
but I got off on the wrong foot.
Copy !req
117. I wanted to apologize.
Never apologize.
Copy !req
118. If you're
gonna show up late,
Copy !req
119. at least do it
with conviction, Mr. Kent.
Copy !req
120. How do you know my name?
Copy !req
121. What was the first thing you did
the day of orientation?
Copy !req
122. I got my picture taken.
Copy !req
123. Yeah, and that photo
is in a database
Copy !req
124. which I check
before the semester begins.
Copy !req
125. That way, I can call my students
by their proper names.
Copy !req
126. Helps the learning process.
Copy !req
127. How long have you been friends
with Lex Luthor?
Copy !req
128. Who said we were friends?
It's just a deduction.
Copy !req
129. Why else would the son
of family farmers
Copy !req
130. be defending such a man?
Copy !req
131. It's a long story.
Copy !req
132. But he's not the man
you make him out to be.
Copy !req
133. Well, you know, Groucho Marx
said there's only one way
Copy !req
134. to find out
if a man's honest — ask him.
Copy !req
135. If he says, "yes,"
he must be crooked.
Copy !req
136. I would think
a college Professor
Copy !req
137. would be quoting Karl Marx,
not Groucho.
Copy !req
138. German philosophy's easy.
Comedy's hard.
Copy !req
139. Hey, why don't you
come work for me?
Copy !req
140. I've been interviewing
research assistants
Copy !req
141. for my new book
on Luthorcorp.
Copy !req
142. You could find out the truth
about Lex Luthor yourself.
Copy !req
143. Thanks, Professor,
Copy !req
144. but I'm not really looking
for a job right now.
Copy !req
145. You know what's worse
Copy !req
146. than the fear of speaking
the truth, Mr. Kent?
Copy !req
147. It's the fear
of uncovering it.
Copy !req
148. You coming or what?
I'm waiting on you.
Copy !req
149. I thought you loved
the water.
Copy !req
150. You're tiring out already
on me.
Copy !req
151. I'm just enjoying the view.
Copy !req
152. Oh, yeah, yeah.
Copy !req
153. So, you ready
to race or what?
Copy !req
154. You don't really think you're
faster than me, do you?
Copy !req
155. Oh, I know I am.
Copy !req
156. Ready?
All right.
Copy !req
157. On three.
One, two...
Copy !req
158. Hey.
Copy !req
159. Hey!
Copy !req
160. How did you do that?
Copy !req
161. Don't sweat it.
I'm part fish.
Copy !req
162. Ohh.
Copy !req
163. Ohh.
Copy !req
164. No, that
was pretty good.
Copy !req
165. You can seriously strut
out there.
Copy !req
166. Well, lots of practice.
Copy !req
167. My swim teacher
was a Navy seal.
Copy !req
168. I swim with the seals.
Copy !req
169. They're awesome.
Copy !req
170. You're not a military brat,
are you?
Copy !req
171. Nope.
Copy !req
172. Just a brat.
Copy !req
173. What are you doing?
Copy !req
174. Ugh.
Copy !req
175. Aah!
Copy !req
176. What's happening?
Copy !req
177. What's going on?
You don't hear that?
Copy !req
178. Hear what?
Copy !req
179. Aaah!
Copy !req
180. A.C.?
Copy !req
181. A.C.?
Copy !req
182. A.C.?
Copy !req
183. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
184. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
185. Okay, okay.
Just lay back, lay back.
Copy !req
186. Oh, no.
Copy !req
187. With the exception
Copy !req
188. of an unexplained disturbance
at the site,
Copy !req
189. today's trial
was a complete success.
Copy !req
190. Great.
Send me the tapes.
Copy !req
191. The best part
of my job —
Copy !req
192. watching impossible dreams
become reality.
Copy !req
193. How far was the target?
Copy !req
194. Three kilometers away.
Copy !req
195. Three kilometers?
Copy !req
196. That's half a kilometer
further than projected.
Copy !req
197. Yes.
Copy !req
198. Leviathan is exceeding all
expectations across the board.
Copy !req
199. If this goes well
tomorrow,
Copy !req
200. my associates
from the Pentagon
Copy !req
201. are gonna want
to put leviathan
Copy !req
202. on every vessel
in the fleet.
Copy !req
203. What about marine life?
Copy !req
204. We still haven't figured out
how to protect them —
Copy !req
205. there are plenty of fish
in the sea, doctor.
Copy !req
206. Nobody's gonna miss a couple
that go belly-up.
Copy !req
207. Let's get leviathan
back to the lab.
Copy !req
208. Hey.
Copy !req
209. Thanks.
Copy !req
210. We really should get you
checked out at a hospital.
Copy !req
211. No, I'm cool.
Copy !req
212. Is that surfer talk for,
Copy !req
213. "there was blood
coming out of my ears"?
Copy !req
214. 'Cause, you know,
on dry land,
Copy !req
215. that usually isn't
a good sign.
Copy !req
216. It's probably just
an ear infection or something.
Copy !req
217. Can we just drop it?
Copy !req
218. Uh...
Copy !req
219. Sure.
Copy !req
220. What are you doing?
Copy !req
221. Seeing if you have
a fever.
Copy !req
222. You really don't listen,
do you?
Copy !req
223. No, I try not to.
I find it distracting.
Copy !req
224. Well...
Copy !req
225. What's the verdict, doc?
Copy !req
226. You're actually
a little cold.
Copy !req
227. That's weird.
Copy !req
228. I'm feeling kind of warm
right now.
Copy !req
229. Does that line
ever work on anyone?
Copy !req
230. I figured it was,
like, a one in 10 shot.
Copy !req
231. But you're worth the risk.
Copy !req
232. You don't even know me.
Copy !req
233. What's to know?
Copy !req
234. You're abrasive, sarcastic.
You never shut up.
Copy !req
235. Yeah, and those
are my good qualities.
Copy !req
236. Oh, I know.
Copy !req
237. Look, just because you saved me
when I wasn't really drowning
Copy !req
238. does not give you the right
to slobber all over me.
Copy !req
239. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
240. You should be.
Copy !req
241. Lois.
Copy !req
242. Hey, Smallville.
Copy !req
243. Lois is all over this
guy, and all we know about him
Copy !req
244. is that he can swim
faster than I can.
Copy !req
245. Well, let me look him up.
Copy !req
246. He's a sophomore
at university of Miami,
Copy !req
247. majoring
in marine biology.
Copy !req
248. Oh, and here's a shocker —
he's on the swim team,
Copy !req
249. leaving all of his competition
in the wake.
Copy !req
250. Does he have
a criminal record?
Copy !req
251. Uh...
Copy !req
252. Yeah.
Copy !req
253. Last year, he broke
into the ocean village resort.
Copy !req
254. What'd he steal?
Copy !req
255. Eight dolphins.
Copy !req
256. He busted open
an underwater fence
Copy !req
257. and released them
back into the ocean.
Copy !req
258. I don't know, Clark —
it doesn't really sound
Copy !req
259. like FBI's most-wanted
material to me.
Copy !req
260. Maybe it's the only thing
he's been caught for.
Copy !req
261. Maybe, but, I mean,
according to all of this,
Copy !req
262. he has never dipped a fin
in Smallville until now.
Copy !req
263. It sort of shoots down
our meteor-freak theory.
Copy !req
264. He's not the first guy I met
Copy !req
265. who didn't get his abilities
from meteor rocks.
Copy !req
266. Really?
Copy !req
267. There was this kid
last year.
Copy !req
268. He kind of ran too fast
for his own good.
Copy !req
269. Well, so far the only thing
we have on Arthur curry
Copy !req
270. is that he saved Lois from being
permanently waterlogged.
Copy !req
271. Clark, are you sure
you're not just upset
Copy !req
272. that someone was stealing
your hero thunder?
Copy !req
273. I don't know what it is
about this guy...
Copy !req
274. but I get
a bad feeling.
Copy !req
275. You guys,
you should have seen this guy.
Copy !req
276. It was amazing.
Copy !req
277. I've never seen anybody
swim so fast.
Copy !req
278. Or drink so much water.
Copy !req
279. It keeps my skin soft.
Copy !req
280. So, how do you like
the university of Miami?
Copy !req
281. You go to school
in Miami?
Copy !req
282. Yeah.
How'd you know that?
Copy !req
283. I'm a big fan
of college swimming.
Copy !req
284. Really? Since when?
Copy !req
285. Since Arthur curry started
dominating the sport.
Copy !req
286. So how'd you learn
to swim so fast?
Copy !req
287. I don't know.
Copy !req
288. I guess it runs
in the family.
Copy !req
289. My dad operates
a lighthouse down South.
Copy !req
290. He swims
like a lead weight.
Copy !req
291. So it must have been my mom
with the skills,
Copy !req
292. but... She died
when I was a baby.
Copy !req
293. A.C., I'm so sorry.
Copy !req
294. I'm not gonna say
it doesn't suck,
Copy !req
295. but... You know, growing up
by the water was awesome.
Copy !req
296. I probably spent more time
in it than out.
Copy !req
297. And what brings you to the most
landlocked spot on the map?
Copy !req
298. Crater lake.
Copy !req
299. The last few months a bunch
of fish have been dying off.
Copy !req
300. And the e.P.A. Blames it
on temperature change,
Copy !req
301. but I think
that's totally bogus.
Copy !req
302. Smallville's a long way to go
to check on temperature changes.
Copy !req
303. Not if you care
about the world you live in.
Copy !req
304. See, people think that
what happens in oceans and lakes
Copy !req
305. doesn't affect
their lives.
Copy !req
306. But it does.
It's all connected.
Copy !req
307. Do you really believe that,
or is that a pickup line?
Copy !req
308. Clark!
Copy !req
309. Smallville, can I talk to you
over here for a minute?
Copy !req
310. There's a cinnamon bun
I need your opinion on.
Copy !req
311. What are you doing?
Copy !req
312. I already have
an overprotective dad.
Copy !req
313. I don't need
an overprotective brother,
Copy !req
314. especially one
who isn't my brother.
Copy !req
315. Am I the only one
who thinks
Copy !req
316. there's something fishy
about this guy?
Copy !req
317. Yes!
Now quit being a jerk!
Copy !req
318. I'm sorry about that.
Copy !req
319. No, it's cool.
Copy !req
320. I got to bounce.
Copy !req
321. Do you want some company?
Copy !req
322. No, I-I have a few things
I need to take care of,
Copy !req
323. so I'll just
swing by later.
Copy !req
324. You know, you're right.
I was being a jerk.
Copy !req
325. I'm gonna go apologize.
Copy !req
326. I don't know how you put up
with him, Lana.
Copy !req
327. Thanks for dropping the a-bomb
on my date, Smallville.
Copy !req
328. Did you apologize
to a.C.?
Copy !req
329. I didn't get
a chance to.
Why not?
Copy !req
330. He was too busy
playing terrorist.
Copy !req
331. What?
Copy !req
332. Lois, I saw him trying
to blow up some sort of lab.
Copy !req
333. You really
don't like him, do you?
Copy !req
334. It has nothing to do
with the way I feel.
Copy !req
335. No? Attacking a.C.,
making up stories?
Copy !req
336. You know, if I didn't know
any better,
Copy !req
337. I'd think somebody
was jealous.
Copy !req
338. Is she great or what?
Copy !req
339. Arthur.
Copy !req
340. Call me a.C.
Copy !req
341. Man, I thought
I had the hookup,
Copy !req
342. but the way
you flak-jacketed that c4...
Copy !req
343. Ugh, that was awesome,
bro.
Copy !req
344. I was just trying to stop a bomb
you were gonna set off, bro.
Copy !req
345. Yeah. Nice work.
Copy !req
346. Thanks to you, the oceans
are one step closer
Copy !req
347. to becoming a graveyard.
Copy !req
348. That thing you were trying
to blow up,
Copy !req
349. it has something to do
with all the dead fish?
Copy !req
350. No, not something —
everything.
Copy !req
351. It's a sonar weapon
called leviathan.
Copy !req
352. It emits some kind
of focused sound wave
Copy !req
353. that packs enough punch
to rip a submarine in half.
Copy !req
354. How do you know that?
Copy !req
355. I peeked at some documents
at the lab.
Copy !req
356. They had "Luthorcorp" stamped
all over them.
Copy !req
357. You mean Lex is trying
to develop some sort of weapon?
Copy !req
358. One that also happens to kill
any sea life around it...
Copy !req
359. Even when it's on standby.
Copy !req
360. In four hours, he's demoing
leviathan for the Pentagon.
Copy !req
361. If they bite and start dropping
these things in the water,
Copy !req
362. it'll be
an ecological disaster.
Copy !req
363. We have to stop him.
Copy !req
364. I'll go talk to Lex.
Copy !req
365. There isn't enough time.
Come on, superboy.
Copy !req
366. With you on the turf and
me in the surf, we could
stop this thing cold.
Copy !req
367. By blowing up his lab?
Copy !req
368. Well, I'm not gonna sit back
and let this happen, Clark.
Copy !req
369. I was born
with an amazing gift,
Copy !req
370. and I plan to use it
to help protect this planet.
Copy !req
371. I'm not gonna let you put
innocent lives at risk.
Copy !req
372. Like your buddy
Lex Luthor?
Copy !req
373. He's not my buddy —
not anymore.
Copy !req
374. But I think we can get him
to listen.
Copy !req
375. You think he doesn't know
what this thing does?
Copy !req
376. He doesn't care.
Copy !req
377. You want to work together,
Copy !req
378. then we go clear this up
with Lex — that's the deal.
Copy !req
379. All right, we'll try it
your way, boy scout.
Copy !req
380. Let's have words
with the cue ball.
Copy !req
381. Clark.
You got here fast.
Copy !req
382. Thanks
for seeing us, Lex.
Copy !req
383. Well, I only have a few minutes.
I'm on my way out.
Copy !req
384. Yeah, we know, bro.
Copy !req
385. Now, I don't believe
we've had the pleasure.
Copy !req
386. Lex, this is my friend
from out of town —
Copy !req
387. Arthur curry.
Copy !req
388. You have to stop it.
Copy !req
389. Stop what?
Copy !req
390. We know about the weapon
you're testing, Lex.
Copy !req
391. I guess the billions
you make from agriculture
Copy !req
392. isn't enough.
Copy !req
393. One day of college,
and he's already an activist.
Copy !req
394. Clark, the only weapon
I'm developing
Copy !req
395. is the kind
that fights hunger.
Copy !req
396. My team's been working
on a strain
Copy !req
397. of fast-growing
high-protein kelp —
Copy !req
398. leviathan has nothing to do with
feeding the hungry, Luthor!
Copy !req
399. It's a weapon that will kill
everything in the water.
Copy !req
400. I'm sorry.
Who are you again?
Copy !req
401. Someone that actually cares
about the world he lives in.
Copy !req
402. You have
to shut leviathan down.
Copy !req
403. There's other ways
to defend this country.
Copy !req
404. The days of you
barging into my home
Copy !req
405. to give me sage advice
are over.
Copy !req
406. Lex, whatever
our differences,
Copy !req
407. I don't want
to see you get hurt.
Copy !req
408. There are people who will do
whatever it takes to stop you.
Copy !req
409. If you think
I'm gonna bow down
Copy !req
410. to the thuggish tactics
of extremists,
Copy !req
411. you really don't know me
very well.
Copy !req
412. I told you
this was a waste of time.
Copy !req
413. Arthur.
Copy !req
414. You know,
you're a real tool, Lex.
Copy !req
415. I hope you get
what you deserve.
Copy !req
416. I'm out of here.
I got things to do.
Copy !req
417. Your new friend's got a bit
of an anger problem.
Copy !req
418. He gets that way
when someone's trying
Copy !req
419. to destroy what he loves.
Copy !req
420. Clark, I'm not trying
to destroy anything.
Copy !req
421. Lex, don't bother trying
to cover it up.
Copy !req
422. The days of me believing
your lies are over.
Copy !req
423. Why are you doing this
to me?
Copy !req
424. One, you called me
a tool.
Copy !req
425. And two,
most people I know
Copy !req
426. need scuba gear
to breathe underwater.
Copy !req
427. I'm just good
at holding my breath.
Copy !req
428. I... I guess I shouldn't
be surprised
Copy !req
429. there's something unusual
about you.
Copy !req
430. I mean, you are a friend
of Clark Kent's.
Copy !req
431. He doesn't know anything
about this.
Copy !req
432. How about some water?
Copy !req
433. I'm running
a little thirsty.
Copy !req
434. So am I.
Copy !req
435. I have a thirst
for knowledge,
Copy !req
436. one that never seems
to get quenched.
Copy !req
437. What group are you with?
Guardians of the sea?
Copy !req
438. I don't travel
with an entourage.
Copy !req
439. Please...
Copy !req
440. I need some water.
Copy !req
441. Now, I usually don't deny
my guests a drink, but...
Copy !req
442. Something tells me
if I give you water...
Copy !req
443. you'll bust out
of those restraints
Copy !req
444. before the glass is empty.
Copy !req
445. Now, let's try again.
Copy !req
446. How are you able
to breathe underwater?
Copy !req
447. Shut down leviathan,
Copy !req
448. and I'll tell you everything
you want to know.
Copy !req
449. Mr. Luthor,
leviathan is submerged.
Copy !req
450. The clients are
in the viewing room.
Copy !req
451. All systems
are ready to go.
Copy !req
452. Well...
Copy !req
453. I guess we'll
have to pick this up later.
Copy !req
454. Please!
Copy !req
455. Please. Please.
Copy !req
456. I don't care
what you do to me.
Copy !req
457. Please destroy
that weapon.
Copy !req
458. Wow.
Okay, you convinced me.
Copy !req
459. I'll flush $100 million
in "r" and "d" down the toilet
Copy !req
460. and put the nation's fleet
at risk while I'm at it.
Copy !req
461. You might be a big fish
in the water,
Copy !req
462. but up here,
I'm the shark.
Copy !req
463. Help!
Copy !req
464. Water.
Copy !req
465. Uh! Ugh!
Copy !req
466. Grrr!
Copy !req
467. I knew I'd find you here.
Are you okay?
Copy !req
468. Wet and ready, bro.
Copy !req
469. The test is going down.
But security's everywhere.
Copy !req
470. I'll never make it through
in time.
Copy !req
471. You might be able to...
With a little help.
Copy !req
472. Gentlemen,
I stand before you
Copy !req
473. humbled by a technology
that will forever tip
Copy !req
474. the balance of naval power
in our favor.
Copy !req
475. That's a bold claim.
Copy !req
476. You'll see it
with your own eyes.
Copy !req
477. Let the show begin.
Copy !req
478. Activating ranging system.
Copy !req
479. Modulator engaged.
Copy !req
480. What the hell was that?
Copy !req
481. What's going on?
Copy !req
482. Looks to me like
Mr. Luthor's miracle weapon
Copy !req
483. just self-destructed.
Copy !req
484. Admiral.
Admiral, please.
Copy !req
485. Yes, admiral.
I understand.
Copy !req
486. I'm sorry
to have wasted your time.
Copy !req
487. Tsk. Clark.
Copy !req
488. Thought the next time I saw you,
you'd be waving a banner
Copy !req
489. at some protest rally
outside Luthorcorp.
Copy !req
490. You know, Lex, I was thinking
I'd write a paper
Copy !req
491. on that high-protein kelp
you said you were working on.
Copy !req
492. Are there any
new developments?
Copy !req
493. Well, it's funny
you should ask.
Copy !req
494. The project was derailed by
a couple of misguided vandals.
Copy !req
495. The equipment's damaged
beyond repair.
Copy !req
496. Maybe it wasn't
meant to be.
Copy !req
497. Maybe.
Copy !req
498. Say, how's your friend?
Copy !req
499. Arthur? I don't know.
I haven't seen him.
Copy !req
500. Well,
if you bump into him,
Copy !req
501. tell him I'm looking forward
to seeing him again.
Copy !req
502. Lex, do you ever
stop and think
Copy !req
503. about where your life
is heading?
Copy !req
504. Tsk.
Copy !req
505. All the time.
Copy !req
506. It's a complicated world,
Clark.
Copy !req
507. Only the naive view it
in black and white.
Copy !req
508. You know, the other day,
a Professor of mine...
Copy !req
509. He accused Luthorcorp
of being evil
Copy !req
510. and you being
just short of the devil.
Copy !req
511. Well, you didn't tell him
about my pitchfork, did you?
Copy !req
512. I defended you.
Copy !req
513. I guess I am naive.
Copy !req
514. You got some awesome stuff
in here, bro.
Copy !req
515. Yeah, I got the feeling
Copy !req
516. the ocean floor's
a little more interesting.
Copy !req
517. And it'll stay that way now,
thanks to you.
Copy !req
518. Well, I did have
some help.
Copy !req
519. We could make
a pretty good team, huh?
Copy !req
520. Maybe we should start up
Copy !req
521. a junior lifeguard association
or something.
Copy !req
522. I'm not sure I'm ready
for the j.L.A. Just yet...
Copy !req
523. Unless you promise
to stop blowing things up.
Copy !req
524. As long as Luthor
sticks to dry land,
Copy !req
525. I'll keep the seafloor
to myself.
Copy !req
526. But if anyone messes
with my home...
Copy !req
527. Look, I don't think leviathan's
gonna be a threat again.
Copy !req
528. But Lex might.
He's seen your abilities.
Copy !req
529. He'll turn the world upside down
looking for you.
Copy !req
530. The world's
three-quarters water.
Copy !req
531. Good luck finding me.
Copy !req
532. What about school
in Miami?
Copy !req
533. Guess the swim team will have
to find another handsome stud.
Copy !req
534. Just stay out of trouble,
all right... A.C.?
Copy !req
535. Try to get in some, Clark.
Copy !req
536. Stay super, bro.
Copy !req
537. If you've dropped
my class,
Copy !req
538. I hope you haven't come
to apologize.
Copy !req
539. You were right...
Copy !req
540. About Lex.
Copy !req
541. Of course I was.
Copy !req
542. I'll never lie to you,
Mr. Kent.
Copy !req
543. After all, I'm an educator.
Copy !req
544. Truth is my life's work.
Copy !req
545. It might be too late,
but I was wondering...
Copy !req
546. If the research-assistant
position was still available?
Copy !req
547. It is, but I'm not interested
in hiring someone
Copy !req
548. who changes their mind
Copy !req
549. as often as they change
their clothes.
Copy !req
550. Professor, I can't just sit back
and watch anymore.
Copy !req
551. And if your book is gonna expose
the truth about Luthorcorp,
Copy !req
552. I want to be a part of it.
Copy !req
553. I expect my research assistants
to be smart, thorough,
Copy !req
554. and show up
to each and every class.
Copy !req
555. I can guarantee it.
Copy !req
556. All right.
Copy !req
557. You know, history shows us
that every decision a man makes
Copy !req
558. has an effect
on the sum of his life.
Copy !req
559. You've made the right decision,
Mr. Kent.
Copy !req
560. You haven't learned,
have you?
Copy !req
561. Orange and green —
totally hideous together.
Copy !req
562. I didn't think
you were gonna show.
Copy !req
563. I just wanted
to say goodbye.
Copy !req
564. You going to Miami?
Copy !req
565. No.
Copy !req
566. I think I'm gonna take
some time off...
Copy !req
567. Float around
for a little while...
Copy !req
568. See where
the currents take me.
Copy !req
569. If those currents ever bring you
back to Smallville...
Copy !req
570. I don't think
that's gonna happen...
Copy !req
571. not for a while.
Copy !req
572. Oh.
Copy !req
573. You know,
my first week of college,
Copy !req
574. the only book I cracked open
was the "bartenders' guide,"
Copy !req
575. and even that was
the cliff notes version.
Copy !req
576. Well...
Copy !req
577. I guess we're two different
types of students.
Copy !req
578. I hope so, for your sake.
Copy !req
579. Look, Clark, I know that I got
a little thorny
Copy !req
580. when you raised
the red flag on a.C.
Copy !req
581. I was just trying
to look out for you.
Copy !req
582. And I appreciate it.
Copy !req
583. I've just never had someone
to help guide me
Copy !req
584. through the shark-infested
ocean of romance —
Copy !req
585. not that I can't fend
for myself.
Copy !req
586. You know, I think I was wrong
about our friend a.C.
Copy !req
587. He was a little misguided,
Copy !req
588. but... His heart
was in the right place.
Copy !req
589. Yeah, he was
definitely unique.
Copy !req
590. I've known a lot of guys
who want to own the world.
Copy !req
591. I haven't met very many
who actually want to save it.
Copy !req
592. How am I ever gonna meet
someone like that again?
Copy !req
593. Lois, I promise,
someday...
Copy !req
594. You'll meet someone
even more special.
