1. You know, Lex Luthor
may have been wowedCopy !req
2. by your high-tech
smoke and mirrors, Dr. gruel,Copy !req
3. but I've come to expect
more hard-core evidenceCopy !req
4. from boys
and their toys.Copy !req
5. So far, my toys
have provided a breakthroughCopy !req
6. in identifying
the crystal's origin.Copy !req
7. Prove to me I wasn't wrong
spending weeksCopy !req
8. to lure one of Lex's
top scientists out of hiding.Copy !req
9. After an exhaustive
battery of tests,Copy !req
10. we discovered
that the crystal's compositionCopy !req
11. doesn't match any element
on this planet.Copy !req
12. It appears to be some kind
of computer hard drive.Copy !req
13. We believe
it may be alien.Copy !req
14. You can't be serious.Copy !req
15. I know that's hard
to accept, but that's
what the facts support.Copy !req
16. No, the facts are,Copy !req
17. Lex disappeared in an arctic
wasteland here on earth.Copy !req
18. He's not lost in space.Copy !req
19. This crystal
is the only clue that we have,Copy !req
20. so stick to science,
not science fiction,Copy !req
21. and find me Lex Luthor.Copy !req
22. Preliminary findings
suggestCopy !req
23. that the crystal responds
at a molecular levelCopy !req
24. to sonic vibrations.Copy !req
25. If you allow me
to proceed,Copy !req
26. this frequency generator
may be the keyCopy !req
27. to telling you
what you want to know.Copy !req
28. For your sake,
I hope it is.Copy !req
29. What just happened?Copy !req
30. Look, Matt.
I know the stock is crap.Copy !req
31. But it's pump-and-dump time,
my man.Copy !req
32. So hype it, sell it, and make me
a profit, or you're dead to me.Copy !req
33. Hello?Copy !req
34. Hello?Copy !req
35. I came when I saw
your Kryptonian beacon.Copy !req
36. Yeah.Copy !req
37. Whatever you say.Copy !req
38. I'm maxima,
queen of almerac.Copy !req
39. I've been
searching for you.Copy !req
40. Well,
here I am, baby.Copy !req
41. Whoa.Copy !req
42. Wow, what a rush.Copy !req
43. What'd you give me?Copy !req
44. A taste of things to come.Copy !req
45. You lied to me.Copy !req
46. You're not Kryptonian.Copy !req
47. What's happening?Copy !req
48. You're dying because
you're not the one I came for.Copy !req
49. But I will find him.Copy !req
50. Ready for some breakfast,
boy?Copy !req
51. You know,
I still can't get used to itCopy !req
52. just being you and me
around here.Copy !req
53. Hello?Copy !req
54. I need you, Smallville —
I just got to the planet,Copy !req
55. and I'm already having
the workday from hell.Copy !req
56. What's your e.T.A.?Copy !req
57. I'm flying into the building
right now.Copy !req
58. I'll be there
in a second.Copy !req
59. Here you go.Copy !req
60. Go ahead. Come on.Copy !req
61. Hey, I thought you said you
were coming in for a landing.Copy !req
62. What happened to you —
run into some turbulence?Copy !req
63. According to the clock,
I'm still two minutes early.Copy !req
64. Now, what's the hurry?Copy !req
65. Well, I need you to take on
some of my workload.Copy !req
66. This is
my second quart of java,Copy !req
67. and I'm still not firing
on all eight cylinders.Copy !req
68. Rough night of sleep
last night?Copy !req
69. More like
no night of sleep.Copy !req
70. Jimmy moved in so he and Chloe
can save their wedding pennies,Copy !req
71. but the groom
snores like a freight train.Copy !req
72. I am so jealous of you in that
Kent farmhouse all by yourself.Copy !req
73. So many empty rooms, huh?Copy !req
74. It is pretty quiet.Copy !req
75. You are about as predictable
as mullets in nascar.Copy !req
76. One little mention
of you living alone,Copy !req
77. and you start singing
the "missing Lana" blues.Copy !req
78. You know,
I hate to be the oneCopy !req
79. to dish out a helping
of tough love here, Clark,Copy !req
80. but Lana
is gone for good.Copy !req
81. Time to get back
in the saddle, buckaroo.Copy !req
82. But this go-round, you need
to look outside your wheelhouse.Copy !req
83. I didn't know
I had a wheelhouse.Copy !req
84. Of course you do —Copy !req
85. pretty, friendly,
damsel-in-distressy.Copy !req
86. You need to try another scoop
of the 31 flavors,Copy !req
87. maybe a little less
sweet vanillaCopy !req
88. and a lot more
wild cherry.Copy !req
89. Let's get back
to the work... Please.Copy !req
90. Good idea.Copy !req
91. Bury your heartache
in your job.Copy !req
92. Here, start with this.Copy !req
93. Baby-face broker
dies of ticker trouble.Copy !req
94. How does a healthy 25-year-old
suddenly die of a heart attack?Copy !req
95. I don't have time
to handhold,Copy !req
96. but the coroner's report
saidCopy !req
97. the endorphin and
adrenaline levels in his bloodCopy !req
98. were sky-high.Copy !req
99. You know — endorphins?Copy !req
100. They're hormones
that are releasedCopy !req
101. when the body performs
a certain activity.Copy !req
102. Like when
you play a sport.Copy !req
103. Or there's another kind
of activity two people share —Copy !req
104. repetitive motion,
builds to a climax.Copy !req
105. Thank you.Copy !req
106. The police say they found
the victim fully clothed.Copy !req
107. What, he didn't even
get past first base?Copy !req
108. And the m.E. Says the
hormone levels weren't
only through the roof,Copy !req
109. they're higher than any
normal human body can produce.Copy !req
110. You know,
unpacking your fiancéCopy !req
111. really should be
a wedding requirement course.Copy !req
112. I had no idea
you had such a propensityCopy !req
113. for recording
bass-fishing showsCopy !req
114. and reading
Pablo neruda love poems...Copy !req
115. And that you've collected
every cd ever made by abba.Copy !req
116. I'm complicated.Copy !req
117. Who knew there were
so many sides to Jimmy Olsen?Copy !req
118. Why? Do you have
a problem with that?Copy !req
119. Not at all.
I love a man of mystery.Copy !req
120. But I would keep the abba
away from Lois.Copy !req
121. She's a whitesnake girl,Copy !req
122. and I don't think she'd
understand this side of you.Copy !req
123. Well, I don't think
that Lois likes any
side of me these days.Copy !req
124. She's still mad 'cause
I didn't tell her the truthCopy !req
125. about Lex Luthor's
arctic antics.Copy !req
126. Yeah, Lois wins medals
for holding a grudge.Copy !req
127. Don't worry.Copy !req
128. Just a couple of weeks
of walking around on eggshells,Copy !req
129. and it'll all be over.Copy !req
130. Great.Copy !req
131. I guess we sort of
skated over the conversationCopy !req
132. about boundaries.Copy !req
133. Looks like I stumbled into
the razor wireCopy !req
134. surrounding the Clark issue
again.Copy !req
135. I knew that he was
your first love.Copy !req
136. I just... Never knew
that you felt like this.Copy !req
137. It's ancient history.Copy !req
138. I wrote that
when I was 15.Copy !req
139. I've told you before —Copy !req
140. Clark is my best friend,
and that's all.Copy !req
141. "I'm the girl
of your dreamsCopy !req
142. masquerading
as your best friend."Copy !req
143. You realize I'm living
my biggest nightmare right now.Copy !req
144. Jimmy,
it was a schoolgirl crush.Copy !req
145. And to be
perfectly honest,Copy !req
146. this constant insecurity
about ClarkCopy !req
147. is really starting
to wear thin.Copy !req
148. Every time I try
and leave it in the past,Copy !req
149. it just keeps making its way
into the present.Copy !req
150. I —Copy !req
151. I don't know what else
I can do.Copy !req
152. Why don't you start
by asking yourself...Copy !req
153. Why you never said
these things to me?Copy !req
154. It arrived
this morning.Copy !req
155. "Meet me
at the ace of clubs."Copy !req
156. Oliver sure hasn't lost
his flair for the dramatic.Copy !req
157. You'll have him
eating out of your hand.Copy !req
158. Thank him for the dress,
but send my regrets.Copy !req
159. Well.Copy !req
160. Talk about
being fashion-forward,Copy !req
161. but I'm afraid
you've crashed the wrong disco.Copy !req
162. Whoever you are, I think
it's time that you leave.Copy !req
163. Where's the owner
of the crystal?Copy !req
164. Crystal? I'm sorry.
That doesn't ring a bell.Copy !req
165. But maybe if you told me about
the owner, I could help you.Copy !req
166. He's Kryptonian.
And my perfect mate.Copy !req
167. You know, I thought there'd be
more of them on this planet,Copy !req
168. but every single man
I've come across has been human.Copy !req
169. Hmm.Copy !req
170. Maybe
if we work together...Copy !req
171. I could help you find
this... Kryptonian.Copy !req
172. Find him?Copy !req
173. I know the beacon
came from here.Copy !req
174. Is it the man
who sent you this?Copy !req
175. You're trying to keep him
for yourself, aren't you?Copy !req
176. Well, I've traveled too far
to let you stand in my way.Copy !req
177. Thanks.Copy !req
178. Lois,
I thought you saidCopy !req
179. you didn't have time
to work on this article.Copy !req
180. That's when it was gonna end up
buried on the last page,Copy !req
181. but with
the super-endorphin angle,Copy !req
182. the scoop
is a lot bigger.Copy !req
183. You just learned to dog-paddle
your way through a story.Copy !req
184. What kind of friend
would I beCopy !req
185. if I threw you in the deep end
without a floatie?Copy !req
186. What did
the police officer say?Copy !req
187. They found evidence
of a fire in the alley,Copy !req
188. but they suspect
it's unrelated.Copy !req
189. So, in other words,
there was no reason for
us to come down here.Copy !req
190. Common rookie mistake.Copy !req
191. See, that's why you're lucky
I came along.Copy !req
192. The scorch marks are probably
from a homeless hoedown.Copy !req
193. If we talk
to a few local transients,Copy !req
194. maybe somebody
saw something.Copy !req
195. Well, this story just made it
above the fold.Copy !req
196. Cops say a string
of hormone-jacked stiffsCopy !req
197. turned up between Metropolis
and Smallville —Copy !req
198. all males.Copy !req
199. Ask me — I think we have
a meteor freak on a rampage.Copy !req
200. They make it look
so easy.Copy !req
201. Women are a complicated
species, dude.Copy !req
202. You have to embrace a little
survival of the fittest.Copy !req
203. Make her realize she's not
the only fox in the forest.Copy !req
204. You are so right.Copy !req
205. I see you're the only one
in here that's all alone.Copy !req
206. I think you're the man
that I've been looking for.Copy !req
207. Hey.
Am I glad to see you.Copy !req
208. Now that Lois is riding shotgun
in your mystery machine,Copy !req
209. your old sidekick's
jonesing for a Scooby clue.Copy !req
210. Let me see
that concrete crop circle.Copy !req
211. I know
it's not Kryptonian.Copy !req
212. This is
a hypogeous marker.Copy !req
213. It's the royal crest
from the planet called almerac.Copy !req
214. This belongs
to their queen.Copy !req
215. A planet
called almerac?Copy !req
216. Chloe, I didn't realize
that your brainiac downloadCopy !req
217. had included some sort
of intergalactic encyclopedia.Copy !req
218. Were there fresh burn marks
in the area?Copy !req
219. Yeah.Copy !req
220. Then she must have
teleported in recently.Copy !req
221. They use a ucrillian bracelet
that acts as a hyperdrive,Copy !req
222. compressing the fabrics
of time and space.Copy !req
223. You said the chemicals
in her victims were elevated?Copy !req
224. Endorphins and adrenaline.Copy !req
225. All the men died
the same way.Copy !req
226. She's searching
for a mate.Copy !req
227. Those chemicals must be
released into her victimsCopy !req
228. once she locks lips
with them.Copy !req
229. She's won the battle
of the sexes on her planet,Copy !req
230. and now she's looking
for a new contender.Copy !req
231. If she can find someone
to survive her killer kiss,Copy !req
232. then she can live
happily ever after.Copy !req
233. The only problem is that humans
can't take the hormone surge.Copy !req
234. They all flatline.Copy !req
235. Certainly narrows down
her choices.Copy !req
236. If there
are numerous deaths,Copy !req
237. then maybe
I can find a patternCopy !req
238. so you can stop
this kissing bandit.Copy !req
239. Chloe, do you rememberCopy !req
240. when you said we'd talk
about your condition?Copy !req
241. You know,
if things got worse?Copy !req
242. Clark, I've analyzed
every possible scenario,Copy !req
243. and, as much
as it scares me,Copy !req
244. you can't wave
your Kryptonian wandCopy !req
245. and save me on this one.Copy !req
246. I'll find a way.Copy !req
247. Clark,
it's just how it is.Copy !req
248. There's nothing you can do,
so just let it go.Copy !req
249. Here we go.Copy !req
250. According to the police wire, it
looks like she's struck again.Copy !req
251. They just found
a German businessmanCopy !req
252. outside the ace of clubs.Copy !req
253. Clark, I'm not the
only one in the world
who needs your help.Copy !req
254. You have to go.Copy !req
255. Those were some dance moves
you were doing in there.Copy !req
256. Get you arrested
in most states.Copy !req
257. Wait until you see
some of the moves I'll show youCopy !req
258. now that we're alone.Copy !req
259. I'm sorry.Copy !req
260. Look...Copy !req
261. You are
really, really prettyCopy !req
262. and...Copy !req
263. Hot.Copy !req
264. But I wasn't honest
with you before.Copy !req
265. I'm in love
with another woman.Copy !req
266. I promise.Copy !req
267. Just one kiss, and you will see
that I was meant for you.Copy !req
268. That's embarrassing.Copy !req
269. Help me.Copy !req
270. I'm really sorry.Copy !req
271. You —
you were so sweet.Copy !req
272. I really hoped
you were the one.Copy !req
273. Jimmy, what's wrong?Copy !req
274. It's my heart.Copy !req
275. Now, that's more like it.Copy !req
276. Good evening,
miss Sullivan.Copy !req
277. I am sorry for
the cloak-and-dagger routine,Copy !req
278. but I didn't have timeCopy !req
279. to schedule
this little meet and greet.Copy !req
280. My name is —Copy !req
281. you can save the introduction.
I know who you are.Copy !req
282. And I don't care to talk with
anyone connected to Lex Luthor.Copy !req
283. It's no secret that you and Lex
have your differences,Copy !req
284. but... I'm sure that you are
far too fair a personCopy !req
285. to fault me
for his mistakes.Copy !req
286. Because I-I really need
your help.Copy !req
287. I know
that you've cracked intoCopy !req
288. some of the most complex
and protected computer systemsCopy !req
289. in the world,Copy !req
290. and I'd like to hire you
to do the same for me.Copy !req
291. I guess Lex's lackeys
didn't tell youCopy !req
292. that he actually
dropped the dime on meCopy !req
293. for being a techno-wiz.Copy !req
294. I was locked up.
It wasn't pretty.Copy !req
295. Well, no laws
will be broken.Copy !req
296. You'll be trying to hack
a very unique supercomputer.Copy !req
297. Sorry.
My plate's full.Copy !req
298. Yeah, I'm sure
planning a weddingCopy !req
299. and starting up
the isis foundationCopy !req
300. have you pretty busy.Copy !req
301. How did you know
all that?Copy !req
302. I have access
to all of Lex's records.Copy !req
303. And I know everything
about you, Chloe.Copy !req
304. Which is why I know
you're the only person
that can help me.Copy !req
305. So I'm hoping
you'll reconsider?Copy !req
306. You learned well
from Lex.Copy !req
307. When you don't get your way,
you just... Threaten.Copy !req
308. This isn't my first tour of duty
on the Luthor battlefield.Copy !req
309. So you're gonna have to come
at me with a lot more firepower.Copy !req
310. Oh, it feels like my chest
was run over by a mack truckCopy !req
311. and the rest of me
was dragged behind it.Copy !req
312. You got to the hospital
just in time.Copy !req
313. The doctors say
your vitals have stabilized,Copy !req
314. so you're gonna be okay.Copy !req
315. I need to know what happened
at the ace of clubs, Jimmy.Copy !req
316. Yeah,
it must have been all
those Tequila shots.Copy !req
317. I know that you were
with a woman, Jimmy.Copy !req
318. T-that wasn't my fault,
c.K.Copy !req
319. I-I mean, the drinking part
was, but...Copy !req
320. It all started
with that letter.Copy !req
321. What are you
talking about?Copy !req
322. I found an old love letter
that Chloe wrote.Copy !req
323. And I realized...Copy !req
324. a person never really
gets over their first true love.Copy !req
325. I mean...Copy !req
326. You believe
you're gonna spendCopy !req
327. the rest of your life
with someone,Copy !req
328. that they're the one.Copy !req
329. And when you got to start over
again with someone new...Copy !req
330. Is it ever the same?Copy !req
331. Everyone has to
move on, Jimmy.Copy !req
332. Chloe must have,
because she found you.Copy !req
333. You don't know how lucky you are
to have each other.Copy !req
334. I kissed
another woman, c.K.Copy !req
335. It wasn't your fault, Jimmy.
You weren't in control.Copy !req
336. But I need you to tell me
what she looked likeCopy !req
337. so I can find her
before she hurts anyone else.Copy !req
338. Look,
everything's a blurCopy !req
339. after she came up to me
at the bar.Copy !req
340. Oh, Jimmy.
What happened?Copy !req
341. He's gonna be okay.Copy !req
342. He was at the ace of clubs,
and things got a little messy.Copy !req
343. The important thing
is that you guys are together.Copy !req
344. Clark Kent.Copy !req
345. That's a strong name.Copy !req
346. I like it.Copy !req
347. Who are you?Copy !req
348. Maxima.Copy !req
349. You don't know how long
I've searched for you.Copy !req
350. Not here.Copy !req
351. Smallville.Copy !req
352. Lois?Copy !req
353. I'll take the stairs.Copy !req
354. Let her go.Copy !req
355. Lois.Copy !req
356. Lois, wait!Copy !req
357. What?Copy !req
358. Oh, sorry to rain
on your orgy, Smallville.Copy !req
359. I think I scared off
your date.Copy !req
360. Where'd she go?Copy !req
361. Probably to find you two
a motel room.Copy !req
362. You don't understand.Copy !req
363. What's not to understand?Copy !req
364. You were pulling
a "91/2 weeks" in the elevator.Copy !req
365. I mean, it may not
get you a membership
in the mile-high club,Copy !req
366. but, hey,
you got to start somewhere.Copy !req
367. Just calm down.
I am calm!
I am perfectly calm!Copy !req
368. Why wouldn't I be calm?
Dial down the ego, Smallville.Copy !req
369. I don't care what you do
with your love life.Copy !req
370. Give me a break.Copy !req
371. Does he really think I care
who he sucks face with?Copy !req
372. Hello.Copy !req
373. That sluttyanna
wasn't even his type.Copy !req
374. I couldn't kill you
in front of him.Copy !req
375. But now that you're
alone, I'll make sure
you never take him away.Copy !req
376. Who — Smallville?Copy !req
377. Look, I don't know
who or what you are,Copy !req
378. but you got it
all wrong, lady.Copy !req
379. There is nothing romantic
between Lois and Clark.Copy !req
380. You have a deep connection
to him. I felt it.Copy !req
381. Then your radar's
on the Fritz.Copy !req
382. 'Cause even on a good day,
we're barely friends.Copy !req
383. He would never have been able
to pull away from meCopy !req
384. if he wasn't drawn
by his attraction to you.Copy !req
385. Look — he's about
as attracted to meCopy !req
386. as a Red Sox fan
to the Yankees.Copy !req
387. Oh, he may not
know it yet.Copy !req
388. But believe me —
there's a bond.Copy !req
389. And I could see it on your face
when you caught us together.Copy !req
390. You feel it, too.Copy !req
391. But I finally found the man
that I've wanted all my life,Copy !req
392. and you can't have him.Copy !req
393. Freeze!Copy !req
394. Chloe, just talk me through
the face-recognition software.Copy !req
395. I'll call you back.Copy !req
396. Amazing, Kent.Copy !req
397. It seems wherever we are
in the universe,Copy !req
398. our stars keep crossing.Copy !req
399. It is strange.Copy !req
400. Especially when I find you
in a locked officeCopy !req
401. and you don't have a key.Copy !req
402. And how come Clark Kent
has an all-night passCopy !req
403. to a clinic
for the meteor-impaired?Copy !req
404. My friend works here.
She's helping me on an article.Copy !req
405. Hmm.Copy !req
406. Are you writing a story
about that woman?Copy !req
407. You know her?Copy !req
408. We had a close encounter
this afternoon.Copy !req
409. What do you know
about her?Copy !req
410. She's wanted
for murder.Copy !req
411. That's a pretty big story
for a copyboy.Copy !req
412. Up until now,
she's only attacked men.Copy !req
413. I wonder why
she'd be after you.Copy !req
414. She has her heart set
on finding someone.Copy !req
415. Who?Copy !req
416. The guy who owns this.Copy !req
417. I was hoping that Chloe
might use her... SkillsCopy !req
418. to shed
some light on it.Copy !req
419. Where did you get
something like that?Copy !req
420. It was the only thing
found at the spot
where Lex disappeared.Copy !req
421. You spent a lot of time
with Lex.Copy !req
422. Did you ever
see him with it?Copy !req
423. No.Copy !req
424. Clark, do you know
what this is?Copy !req
425. I've never seen that
before.Copy !req
426. Yes?Copy !req
427. Target located,
miss Mercer.Copy !req
428. Corner of
Melbourne and holly.Copy !req
429. She flipped a car.Copy !req
430. Civilian female trapped
inside her Pontiac.Copy !req
431. Hello?
What's going on?Copy !req
432. Bring it, bitch.Copy !req
433. Ugh!Copy !req
434. Finally.Copy !req
435. A man with some fight
in him.Copy !req
436. None of the men on my planet
have the stamina to keep up.Copy !req
437. Maybe you shouldn't have
come on so strong.Copy !req
438. You didn't seem to mind.
You came back for more.Copy !req
439. I came back to stop you
from killing Lois.Copy !req
440. What would you have done to her
if I didn't stop you?Copy !req
441. I couldn't let her have you.
You're my soul mate.Copy !req
442. You don't even know
who I am.Copy !req
443. When I was a little girl,
I heard the storiesCopy !req
444. of the brave and gallant men
of Krypton,Copy !req
445. men worthy of standing
by a queen's side.Copy !req
446. When I learned your planet
had been destroyed...Copy !req
447. I prayed for survivors.Copy !req
448. And when I saw
your beacon...Copy !req
449. The beacon
didn't come from me.Copy !req
450. It... Doesn't matter.Copy !req
451. I found the last son
of Krypton, and...Copy !req
452. You're everything
I wished for.Copy !req
453. A man who...Copy !req
454. is my equal.Copy !req
455. When we kissed...Copy !req
456. I felt your passion
so much strongerCopy !req
457. than I've ever felt
from any other man.Copy !req
458. And...Copy !req
459. I could sense that you were
as desperate as I wasCopy !req
460. to find a mate.Copy !req
461. You want me...
As much as I want you.Copy !req
462. I don't want you.Copy !req
463. Are you sure?Copy !req
464. Because no one on this planet
will be a better match.Copy !req
465. I know the loneliness
of not finding your soul mate.Copy !req
466. You come back with me,
and you will never be alone.Copy !req
467. It's our destiny
to be together.Copy !req
468. My destiny is here.Copy !req
469. And you're
not a part of it.Copy !req
470. Chloe?Copy !req
471. Hey. I just talked
to the doctor.Copy !req
472. I'm bringing Jimmy home
in two hours,Copy !req
473. with his heart
in the right placeCopy !req
474. and his hormones
in check.Copy !req
475. I guess you figured out
that maxima kissed Jimmy.Copy !req
476. Oh, please.Copy !req
477. One look
at Jimmy's blood panels,Copy !req
478. and I put it all
together.Copy !req
479. I can't say I'm thrilledCopy !req
480. that he macked
on an alien goddess,Copy !req
481. but I got to say — maxima knows
how to rev a guy's engine.Copy !req
482. Yeah, speaking from experience,
he didn't stand a chance.Copy !req
483. Especially since she went after
him when he was vulnerable.Copy !req
484. He was really shaken up
about some letter.Copy !req
485. Yeah.Copy !req
486. That letter was for you.Copy !req
487. I, uh, read it to you
sophomore year in high schoolCopy !req
488. when you were really sick.Copy !req
489. The only way I had enough guts
to tell you how I actually feltCopy !req
490. was when
you were unconscious.Copy !req
491. "I may not be the one
you love today,Copy !req
492. "but I'll let you go
for now,Copy !req
493. hoping one day
you'll fly back to me."Copy !req
494. The kicker is, you did respond,
with one word —Copy !req
495. "Lana."Copy !req
496. I guess I always knew.
I just...Copy !req
497. Clark, that was
a long time ago.Copy !req
498. Don't worry.
I don't feel that way now.Copy !req
499. I just wanted you
to read itCopy !req
500. so that I could finally close
that chapter of my lifeCopy !req
501. and put it behind me.Copy !req
502. But...
Don't get me wrong.Copy !req
503. I don't regret
having had those feelings.Copy !req
504. But that's because
they helped prepare meCopy !req
505. so that I was ready to share
my love with the perfect person.Copy !req
506. And to me,
that person is Jimmy.Copy !req
507. So you blew it, bud.Copy !req
508. I just want you
to be happy.Copy !req
509. Clark,
what you and I have,Copy !req
510. I will never share
with anyone else.Copy !req
511. You're my bff.Copy !req
512. Which is why, um...Copy !req
513. When Jimmy and I get married,
I was hoping that...Copy !req
514. You would give me away
at the altar.Copy !req
515. Absolutely.Copy !req
516. I'd be honored to,
Chloe.Copy !req
517. And I may have an early
wedding present for you.Copy !req
518. Since Jor-El
created brainiac,Copy !req
519. I think he can cure
your infection.Copy !req
520. Maybe so,
but I thoughtCopy !req
521. that when the fortress
disappeared, so did your father.Copy !req
522. Jor-El's just
complex computer programmingCopy !req
523. inside
a Kryptonian crystal —Copy !req
524. the same crystal
that produced the fortress.Copy !req
525. And now
Tess Mercer has it.Copy !req
526. That's the computer
she wants me to hack into.Copy !req
527. And I think I can re-create
Jor-El and the fortress.Copy !req
528. I just need
to get that crystal back.Copy !req
529. The only problem is,
I've already searchedCopy !req
530. the daily planet
and the mansion.Copy !req
531. I haven't found it.Copy !req
532. Maybe this time,
we use a little less brawnCopy !req
533. and a little more brain.Copy !req
534. Kickbox, Chloe?
I find it helps focus my anger.Copy !req
535. Maybe I should
rush over to the dojo,Copy !req
536. 'cause I have a lot of it
building up right now.Copy !req
537. Call me paranoid,Copy !req
538. but it sounds like that rage
is directed at me.Copy !req
539. I don't appreciate
people breaking into my officeCopy !req
540. when I'm not around.Copy !req
541. The door was open.Copy !req
542. Do it again,
and I'll press charges.Copy !req
543. You made your point.Copy !req
544. Listen, while I'm here,Copy !req
545. maybe I could take a look
at that supercomputer.Copy !req
546. Sorry, but, uh...Copy !req
547. Looks like the little
hacker bird missed the worm.Copy !req
548. What do you mean?Copy !req
549. I thought you said
that I was the only oneCopy !req
550. capable
of getting into it.Copy !req
551. You might be,
but we won't know now,Copy !req
552. because I don't have it.Copy !req
553. It was stolen.Copy !req
554. Well, who else
would want it?Copy !req
555. I intend to find out.Copy !req
556. Stay by your phone,
Chloe.Copy !req
557. Only a handful of people
knew about that device,Copy !req
558. and when I find out who has it,
I'm taking it back.Copy !req
559. Hey.Copy !req
560. Lois,
what are you doing here?Copy !req
561. You know,
if you're worriedCopy !req
562. about the editor taking away
the story, buck up.Copy !req
563. It's not your fault.Copy !req
564. Metropolis pd says that,
as far as they know,Copy !req
565. our big-haired bimbo
has vanished off the
face off the earth.Copy !req
566. I'm afraid this may not be
the last we've seen of her.Copy !req
567. Hmm. Well,
I'll be ready for her.Copy !req
568. The late-night game
of bumper carsCopy !req
569. might have knocked
the wind out of me,Copy !req
570. but one supercharged fembotCopy !req
571. can't put a serious dent
in Lois Lane.Copy !req
572. Thanks for showing up
when you did.Copy !req
573. I guess you could say
you saved my life.Copy !req
574. Tell me about it.Copy !req
575. If I hadn't severed
your love connection,Copy !req
576. you would have ended up
like all her other dates.Copy !req
577. You know, she said
some... Weird things to me.Copy !req
578. Really?Copy !req
579. She said
she was my soul mate.Copy !req
580. I-I think you can do
a little bit betterCopy !req
581. than, uh,
a man-eating meteor-freak.Copy !req
582. I know she's not the one,
but...Copy !req
583. It got me to thinking.Copy !req
584. Chloe showed me this love letter
she wrote to me years ago,Copy !req
585. and...Copy !req
586. Her feelings
were really intense.Copy !req
587. And Chloe was right there
in front of me,Copy !req
588. and I never realized
how she felt.Copy !req
589. What if my soul mate comes along
and I'm too blind to see it?Copy !req
590. I don't know,
Smallville.Copy !req
591. I think...Copy !req
592. That when the right girl
walks into your life...Copy !req
593. You'll know.Copy !req
594. What did maxima say
to you?Copy !req
595. Nothing for the front page.Copy !req
596. Well, I got to go.Copy !req
597. I'm meeting with a realtor,
finding my own place.Copy !req
598. Those lovebirds
are so sweet,Copy !req
599. my teeth will rot
if I don't move out.Copy !req
600. Hey, Lois, um...Copy !req
601. You were right.Copy !req
602. This house
is pretty big.Copy !req
603. If you want your old room back,
it's yours.Copy !req
604. Being housemates
didn't work out for usCopy !req
605. the first time,
Smallville.Copy !req
606. Why tempt fate?Copy !req
