1. Previously on Smallville:Copy !req
2. Isn't it time to move beyond
these mental trials?Copy !req
3. When you decided to return to
your training, I assumed you were ready.Copy !req
4. - Tell me what you need.
The test of a true hero...Copy !req
5. is to struggle with feelings of loss,
not to avoid them.Copy !req
6. I've come this far,
and I'm not looking back. I can do this.Copy !req
7. Pull an address
off of Queen Industries' database.Copy !req
8. It's an engineer I fired.
His name's Winslow Schott.Copy !req
9. What happened?
He snapped.Copy !req
10. He started bringing toys to work.
Then he started hiding explosives...Copy !req
11. inside the toys.Copy !req
12. Oliver Queen,
what are you doing in enemy camp?Copy !req
13. I've purchased controlling interest
in LuthorCorp.Copy !req
14. Everybody down!Copy !req
15. - How does it feel to not be in control?
- Untie me right now.Copy !req
16. After this little fella
clangs his cymbals together 53 times...Copy !req
17. it'll be the last sound you ever hear.Copy !req
18. Pieces of a toy bomb
were found in the wreckage.Copy !req
19. Lex deserved to die.Copy !req
20. - This is murder.
- This is justice.Copy !req
21. Oliver crossed the line.
He killed Lex Luthor.Copy !req
22. You're making a big mistake.Copy !req
23. - What the hell were you so afraid of?
- You.Copy !req
24. - Maybe we should start over.
- It's too late for that now.Copy !req
25. You need help.Copy !req
26. Not everybody believes in
the second coming.Copy !req
27. Is there any part of the person
I used to know still there?Copy !req
28. You were right.Copy !req
29. I've been running away from myself
for a long time now.Copy !req
30. But now I know who I really am.Copy !req
31. People, let's set up a perimeter.Copy !req
32. Get me a sightline. We don't know
how many hostages are inside.Copy !req
33. Get me a barricade. Last thing we need
is anyone getting in our way.Copy !req
34. Let's go. Let's move it.Copy !req
35. Don't bother pulling the trigger.Copy !req
36. Clark. Did I miss him?Copy !req
37. - If by "him" you mean me, barely.
- Not you, the Blur.Copy !req
38. Oh, he was long gone
by the time I got here.Copy !req
39. I was just trying to call you.Copy !req
40. - From a payphone?
- Apparently.Copy !req
41. How'd you get here so fast, anyway?Copy !req
42. My guy at Met P.D. didn't leak this
until a few minutes ago.Copy !req
43. We all can't be as fashionably late
as Lois Lane.Copy !req
44. Oh. Hello, sailor.Copy !req
45. - What'd you just say?
- Nothing.Copy !req
46. You should get your hearing checked.Copy !req
47. Hot stuff.Copy !req
48. God, I am dragging ass today.
I should go for coffee.Copy !req
49. No, no.
What I actually need is a B12 shot.Copy !req
50. I have to keep up with Clark.Copy !req
51. Remember what the general says:
"On certain days...Copy !req
52. you wear certain underwear."
And why you decided to go with a tho...Copy !req
53. Hey, Smallville.Copy !req
54. You're in a good mood today.Copy !req
55. Would be in an even better one...Copy !req
56. if our black-clad hero in hiding
would've stuck around for a quote.Copy !req
57. We'd at least know
what the hell happened back there.Copy !req
58. What happened
is the Blur saved those hostages.Copy !req
59. - End of story.
- There's always more to the story.Copy !req
60. The bomber isn't the one who flipped
the switch. It was on a timer.Copy !req
61. Why would the bomb be on a timer?Copy !req
62. I don't know. I'm not a mind reader.Copy !req
63. Why would you take hostages
and not make any demands?Copy !req
64. No voicemails. No e-mails.
Just be a big girl and get over the fact...Copy !req
65. that the Blur downgraded you
from confidante to sidekick to nobody.Copy !req
66. Lois.Copy !req
67. Computer's frozen again.Copy !req
68. Doesn't help that intern Jeff...Copy !req
69. took the last stupid maple doughnut
from the stupid doughnut box.Copy !req
70. Here you go.Copy !req
71. My eyes are bigger
than my stomach this morning.Copy !req
72. No. Okay, I love you.Copy !req
73. Bump in blood sugar might help you
from punching someone.Copy !req
74. True. Give me that.Copy !req
75. Uh...Copy !req
76. Whoever did what he did, he couldn't
have picked a less interesting place.Copy !req
77. Run-of-the-mill textile factory?Copy !req
78. Factory which is a subsidiary
of Queen Industries.Copy !req
79. You think it'd be enough
to get Oliver's attention.Copy !req
80. That only matters
if Ollie's sober enough to give a crap.Copy !req
81. - You might be right.
- What'd you say?Copy !req
82. - What?
- What?Copy !req
83. Thanks for meeting me.Copy !req
84. - I know you've been busy.
- What am I thinking right now?Copy !req
85. No clue. So far, it's only been Lois.Copy !req
86. Okay.Copy !req
87. Well, I know that my Wall of Weird
is so three upgrades ago...Copy !req
88. but I've spent enough time
digitizing the strange...Copy !req
89. and unexplained in my life
to know that you don't just catch ESP.Copy !req
90. So how do we know that this isn't just
your super-hearing on the fritz?Copy !req
91. As loud as Lois is, even she can't speak
with her mouth closed.Copy !req
92. Good point.Copy !req
93. Okay, I'll see what I can dig up,
but seriously, Clark...Copy !req
94. unless your warranty's expired,
just check in with dear old Dad.Copy !req
95. You okay?Copy !req
96. Yeah, I'd just like to bypass
Lois' inside voice from here on out.Copy !req
97. I'm fine.Copy !req
98. I'll keep you posted.Copy !req
99. Can't miss this meeting,
or I'm gonna get fired.Copy !req
100. This isn't the life I wanted.Copy !req
101. You should've told me that before.Copy !req
102. Jor-El.Copy !req
103. Reading people's thoughts.Copy !req
104. You said my trials had begun.
Is this one of them?Copy !req
105. I planted within you
the seeds for this trial...Copy !req
106. designed to self-manifest
when most needed.Copy !req
107. An event must've happened
to trigger it...Copy !req
108. some kind of error
or mistake in judgment.Copy !req
109. I don't understand.Copy !req
110. I saved everyone in that factory.Copy !req
111. Assumptions are flaws...Copy !req
112. inherent in the human instincts
you have adopted...Copy !req
113. but they are beneath you.Copy !req
114. What you have yet to nurture
is your Kryptonian intuition.Copy !req
115. - You shouldn't underestimate humans.
Neither should you.Copy !req
116. Being able to discern
why humans truly behave as they do...Copy !req
117. will help you to better protect them.Copy !req
118. This ability is only temporary.
You must learn to focus, Kal-El.Copy !req
119. Perception can be the difference
between life and death.Copy !req
120. I know loose lips sink ships...Copy !req
121. but tight ones don't do
a hell of a lot of good either.Copy !req
122. Listen, Chatty Cathy,
we just need one answer.Copy !req
123. You were actually a hostage, right?Copy !req
124. This one's getting us nowhere.Copy !req
125. Do not let them find out.Copy !req
126. They can't send me back.Copy !req
127. My baby needs me.Copy !req
128. It's okay, you can talk to us.Copy !req
129. We're not INS.Copy !req
130. I am sorry. I saw a man.Copy !req
131. So let me get this straight.
The guy who took you hostage...Copy !req
132. was short and fat, but also tall?Copy !req
133. Yeah, way taller
than your boyfriend there.Copy !req
134. Um, thin.Copy !req
135. Thin like a rail.Copy !req
136. This is so exciting.
I wonder who will talk to me next.Copy !req
137. The FBI? Maybe Interpol.Copy !req
138. It's clear that this is the most
excitement you've had probably ever.Copy !req
139. You can mislead us, but interfering
with a police investigation...Copy !req
140. to keep yourself in the limelight
will only land you in jail.Copy !req
141. Is that understood?Copy !req
142. Huh.Copy !req
143. Sorry.Copy !req
144. I didn't see anything.Copy !req
145. I don't care how cute he is.
I better not get fired for this.Copy !req
146. I haven't seen you eat a thing all day.Copy !req
147. Owed you from earlier.
Low blood sugar and all.Copy !req
148. Oh, look at this.
Thanks for taking care of me.Copy !req
149. Wait.Copy !req
150. Now we're even.Copy !req
151. What else did you find out?Copy !req
152. Mr. Murphy, our mystery man's puppet,
just got out of surgery.Copy !req
153. - He's still unconscious.
- I've hit enough dead ends for today.Copy !req
154. Really no reason
for us to keep hanging out here, huh?Copy !req
155. You're absolutely right.Copy !req
156. Why don't we just call it a night?Copy !req
157. That's good. I have plans.Copy !req
158. Little Lifetime and some Chunky Monkey.Copy !req
159. Or Rocky Road. Maybe both.Copy !req
160. Lois.Copy !req
161. I was hoping we could
grab something to eat tonight...Copy !req
162. once we finished up.Copy !req
163. You know, you said yourself
I hadn't eaten all day.Copy !req
164. Is Clark Kent asking me out on a date?Copy !req
165. Like a "date" date?Copy !req
166. - I'm not saying we should go on a date.
Oh.Copy !req
167. Just something like a date.Copy !req
168. As sweet as that notion is, Smallville,
this is Metropolis on a Saturday night.Copy !req
169. We ain't getting in anywhere
without a reservation.Copy !req
170. Except maybe the truck rally downtown...Copy !req
171. but there's no way he'd...Copy !req
172. We could probably get tickets
to the monster-truck rally.Copy !req
173. It doesn't start for a few more hours.Copy !req
174. Shut up.Copy !req
175. I'll meet you there.Copy !req
176. Standard protocol.Copy !req
177. Two cars at the beginning of the night,
no drama at the end of it.Copy !req
178. You going our way?Copy !req
179. Barkeep, I'm gonna need,
um, something cold...Copy !req
180. tall, wet, sexy. Put, uh...Copy !req
181. - Put one of these in it, will you, please?
- Tres.Copy !req
182. Looks like I got dollar bills.
I got pesos. I got, uh...Copy !req
183. Is that a euro? I don't...
I got this purple thing. These are fun. Um...Copy !req
184. Why don't we...?
Just take the whole thing...Copy !req
185. and have a little vacation on me.
How does that sound? Okay?Copy !req
186. What are you doing with my wife?Copy !req
187. Hmm?Copy !req
188. Really?Copy !req
189. You know, Mercy, if you wanted more
face time, all you had to do was ask.Copy !req
190. This is me asking.Copy !req
191. Whoa, Lois.Copy !req
192. - Why so fancy?
- Monster trucks.Copy !req
193. - Monster trucks?
- Mm-hm.Copy !req
194. Lois, I've seen you do
monster trucks before.Copy !req
195. This is definitely more than that.Copy !req
196. I would say that this is strictly
rhinestones-on-mud-flaps territory.Copy !req
197. Who's the prince charming?Copy !req
198. I never thought
I'd say this out loud, but...Copy !req
199. Clark Kent.Copy !req
200. I know. It's the weirdest thing.
Of the five things to do in Kansas...Copy !req
201. Clark picked the one thing
I've wanted to do for weeks.Copy !req
202. We've been on the same wavelength
like all day today.Copy !req
203. I'll bet.
Sort of like he's been reading your mind?Copy !req
204. Like he's hearing things
that you've never actually said out loud?Copy !req
205. Exactly.Copy !req
206. Huh. That is the weirdest thing.Copy !req
207. Me and Clark. I don't know.Copy !req
208. I mean, we certainly kick
all kinds of ass at work...Copy !req
209. but lately, it feels like we're more
than just partners, you know?Copy !req
210. I think I've gotten so used
to carrying the load all by myself.Copy !req
211. What if I don't have to anymore,
you know?Copy !req
212. Clark and Lois vs. The world.Copy !req
213. Oh, wow.Copy !req
214. Kind of lost myself
in there somewhere, huh?Copy !req
215. Don't wait up.Copy !req
216. He forced me to do it.
It wasn't me. I'm innocent.Copy !req
217. He strapped the bomb on me.
I just work there.Copy !req
218. He said toys weren't good enough.
He wants to play a game.Copy !req
219. He said Queen will pay
for what he's done to him.Copy !req
220. Toyman.Copy !req
221. Let the games begin.Copy !req
222. What the hell were you thinking, Oliver?Copy !req
223. - They could've killed you.
- Yeah.Copy !req
224. Didn't really give them a chance, did you?
And now we'll never know.Copy !req
225. Were you even aware
that one of your factories blew up?Copy !req
226. Do you give a damn
about anything anymore?Copy !req
227. Tell me you didn't waste all that jet fuel
to come here and deliver me a lecture.Copy !req
228. Your company's failing.Copy !req
229. Your stock is worth less
than you think of yourself right now.Copy !req
230. There's only so much more loss the
shareholders will be willing to accept.Copy !req
231. I'm tired of making excuses.Copy !req
232. Well, then why don't you stop
making excuses?Copy !req
233. Tell them the truth about me.Copy !req
234. Then you can become sole CEO.Copy !req
235. It'll be great for you.
It's what you always wanted, right?Copy !req
236. I've seen you go off the rails before,
but this...Copy !req
237. this vanishing act, huh...Copy !req
238. these binges...Copy !req
239. you're punishing yourself.Copy !req
240. Why?Copy !req
241. Oliver, what did you do?Copy !req
242. No matter what this is about,
I understand.Copy !req
243. You know that.Copy !req
244. Just talk to me.Copy !req
245. You know, it sounds like you're the one
who needs to do the talking.Copy !req
246. So I guess the real question is,
what is it that you want from me?Copy !req
247. I need your pretty face
addressing our shareholders.Copy !req
248. Consider this one of the many favors
you owe me.Copy !req
249. Is that all you want?Copy !req
250. I've learned not to expect too much
from you, Oliver.Copy !req
251. Cheer up.Copy !req
252. You can fall down drunk in a gutter
as soon as it's done.Copy !req
253. Wheels up in 20.Copy !req
254. It's a good thing he can't hear
what I'm thinking, or else...Copy !req
255. Or else what, Chloe?Copy !req
256. I would tell you
that I don't want you breaking...Copy !req
257. my cousin's heart.
How was I supposed to react...Copy !req
258. when I find out that you've been
rifling through Lois' brain...Copy !req
259. like you lost your keys in there?
You can't trick someone into dating you.Copy !req
260. I didn't trick her, and it's not a date.Copy !req
261. You didn't see her when she left.
Believe me, it was a date.Copy !req
262. And to add insult to injury,
now you're standing her up?Copy !req
263. No, I asked her out, not on a date...Copy !req
264. before I knew our bomber
was an innocent man.Copy !req
265. - Toyman's back.
- Winslow Schott is responsible...Copy !req
266. for the explosion at Oliver's building.
That's why I didn't call Lois back.Copy !req
267. The last thing I need is her showing up
here and following me into harm's way.Copy !req
268. Winslow's trying to smoke Oliver
out of hiding. He's insane.Copy !req
269. Yeah, he was crazy enough before Oliver
framed him for Lex's murder.Copy !req
270. If he's trying to track Oliver down,
he won't have a hard time doing it tonight.Copy !req
271. Oliver's addressing his shareholders
at your requisite red-carpet, black-tie gala.Copy !req
272. Head back to Watchtower.Copy !req
273. If Winslow strikes again,
we need to move fast.Copy !req
274. Mr. Pierson.Copy !req
275. Kirkpatrick.Copy !req
276. Let's see. "Kendall. Kennair."
Ah, there it is. "Kirkpatrick."Copy !req
277. Have a good evening, Mr. Kirkpatrick.Copy !req
278. - Name?
- Kennair.Copy !req
279. You have a plus-one tonight,
Mr. Kennair.Copy !req
280. - Lois.
- I can handle this, Smallville.Copy !req
281. - You've already done enough tonight.
- What are you doing here?Copy !req
282. Standing in the shadow
of 6-and-a-half feet of handsome.Copy !req
283. No, Lois, he doesn't get off that easy.
Kick his ass.Copy !req
284. Do you think not having a cocktail dress,
and being three steps behind you...Copy !req
285. on your mystery-man story
was gonna stand in my way, did you?Copy !req
286. Or that you hid the fact that
Oliver returned for the sake of an article?Copy !req
287. Clark, you can't get rid of me that easily.
I have the Internet on my phone.Copy !req
288. - I can explain.
- Oh.Copy !req
289. I know how the boys' club works.Copy !req
290. You wanted to scoop me on a story.
Prose before ho's.Copy !req
291. - Now, wait a second.
Good evening.Copy !req
292. How could you be so stupid?
This was never about more than a story.Copy !req
293. Maybe it never will be.Copy !req
294. For your sake,
there better be an open bar...Copy !req
295. because I think that Bone Dog
has my purse in his truck.Copy !req
296. You know, Lois, I don't need your help
on this one. I can do it on my own.Copy !req
297. Maybe you'd like to think that you can,
but we all know there's no way.Copy !req
298. This is my headline.Copy !req
299. Oh, God. Why would you
let yourself get attached, Lois?Copy !req
300. You know better than that.Copy !req
301. They always leave.Copy !req
302. You know what? Maybe you're right.Copy !req
303. I'm gonna get some air.
Some really private air.Copy !req
304. I'm out of here. Good luck flying solo.Copy !req
305. Lois.Copy !req
306. Maybe I should buy her a drink.Copy !req
307. I can't afford to lose any more money.Copy !req
308. Look at this party, huh?Copy !req
309. Mercer never should've...Copy !req
310. Oh, I hope this comes out in the wash.Copy !req
311. Everyone said it was a gamble.Copy !req
312. This was supposed to put...Copy !req
313. She doesn't know this suit is a rental.Copy !req
314. What the hell does she really want?Copy !req
315. I can't lose any more money.Copy !req
316. If I leave, they'll follow me.Copy !req
317. So the devil came in a blue dress tonight.Copy !req
318. Ladies and gentlemen...Copy !req
319. your fearless leader, Oliver Queen.Copy !req
320. Look who decided
to grace us with his presence.Copy !req
321. Thank you. Ahem.Copy !req
322. Thank you, everyone.Copy !req
323. I know this has been a trying year
for all of you.Copy !req
324. And hopefully I can remain upright
long enough to say what...Copy !req
325. needs to be said.Copy !req
326. Obviously, whoever wrote this speech
has a pretty good sense of humor.Copy !req
327. Excuse me. It's my...Copy !req
328. Sorry. Technical difficulties here.
One moment.Copy !req
329. Thanks, Dad.Copy !req
330. Oh, yes, Mr. Queen...Copy !req
331. it's your old playmate Winslow Schott.Copy !req
332. I'm sure you remember.Copy !req
333. You framed me for murder, after all.Copy !req
334. And now that I've finally won
your little game of hide-and-seek...Copy !req
335. I thought we might play something
that I'm a little more comfortable with.Copy !req
336. Toyman says...Copy !req
337. read everything I've written,
or you will die.Copy !req
338. Toyman says...Copy !req
339. don't try to run. Don't take a step.Copy !req
340. If you move one muscle,
I will kill everybody in this room.Copy !req
341. Toyman says...Copy !req
342. you're standing on a pressure plate.Copy !req
343. Toyman says...Copy !req
344. you're standing on a bomb.Copy !req
345. I've never truly worked
a day in my life.Copy !req
346. Too busy gagging on
the silver spoon...Copy !req
347. wedged down my throat.Copy !req
348. And even when given
a second chance at life, I was, uh...Copy !req
349. I was unable
to see past my selfish nature.Copy !req
350. Oh, don't stop there.Copy !req
351. We haven't even gotten
to the good part yet.Copy !req
352. Time and again...Copy !req
353. I've put my own needs over the needs
of my devoted employees.Copy !req
354. The only thing I've ever
been selfless enough to part with...Copy !req
355. is the blame...Copy !req
356. for a heinous act.Copy !req
357. No. Chloe, the trials aren't over.Copy !req
358. I just got my training wheels taken away.Copy !req
359. Jor-El wants me to use
what I've learned.Copy !req
360. Can you hack the feeds of the building?Copy !req
361. - He's gotta be here somewhere.
- I'm on it.Copy !req
362. My name is Oliver Queen,
and I am a coward.Copy !req
363. I'm a thief, and...Copy !req
364. And I am...Copy !req
365. Too ashamed to admit...Copy !req
366. that you were really responsible
for killing Lex Luthor.Copy !req
367. You didn't think twice
about blaming me for it.Copy !req
368. We have to get these people out of here
now. Oliver's standing on a landmine.Copy !req
369. Just give me one second.Copy !req
370. And I...Copy !req
371. Confess.Copy !req
372. The emergency alarm has been activated.Copy !req
373. Please move in an orderly fashion
to the nearest exit. Thank you.Copy !req
374. I'm not gonna ask. Nice one, Chloe.Copy !req
375. The emergency alarm has been activated.Copy !req
376. Please move in an orderly fashion
to the nearest exit. Thank you.Copy !req
377. Winslow, how do I disarm the bomb?Copy !req
378. I don't know who you are,
but you're interrupting my game.Copy !req
379. I can't go changing the rules
for someone who isn't playing.Copy !req
380. - This isn't a game. It's a man's life.
- No. It is a game.Copy !req
381. And Toyman makes the rules now.Copy !req
382. What you're doing is pointless.
Oliver would never let those people die.Copy !req
383. Please move
in an orderly fashion to the nearest exit.Copy !req
384. But you already know that, don't you?
You don't allow for human error.Copy !req
385. You have to control who wins.Copy !req
386. That's why you put a timer
on the factory bomb.Copy !req
387. The pressure plate that Oliver's standing
on is fake, isn't it? It's on a timer.Copy !req
388. You follow my work.Copy !req
389. It's always nice to have a fan.Copy !req
390. How long does Oliver have?Copy !req
391. Not long enough.Copy !req
392. You know what,
I might be your biggest fan.Copy !req
393. I know that the real Winslow Schott...Copy !req
394. would wanna live
and dance on Oliver's grave.Copy !req
395. Five, four, three, two, two, two...Copy !req
396. two, two, two...Copy !req
397. No one wins a game if you both lose.Copy !req
398. How'd you know
the pressure plate wasn't real?Copy !req
399. I didn't.Copy !req
400. Oliver.Copy !req
401. I waited till the last person got out, Clark.Copy !req
402. I knew the explosion wouldn't kill you.Copy !req
403. Winslow... Yes, the real Winslow.
Has been arrested.Copy !req
404. Chloe was able to follow the feed
from the earpiece.Copy !req
405. He's on the way to Stryker's
as we speak.Copy !req
406. Speak your mind, Clark.Copy !req
407. I haven't been paying enough attention
to everything.Copy !req
408. There's been danger all around me
that I haven't seen.Copy !req
409. Warning signs that I haven't noticed.Copy !req
410. And people in need
that I've neglected.Copy !req
411. I didn't realize how bad things are.Copy !req
412. I haven't been here for you. I'm sorry.Copy !req
413. Well, with all due respect, Clark,
I'm not sure I'm worth your concern.Copy !req
414. You know, when I was reading
that speech in there...Copy !req
415. when I decided to, uh...Copy !req
416. That speech wasn't just a laundry list
of all my sins. It was...Copy !req
417. It was a fact sheet.Copy !req
418. Ever tell you how old I was
when my parents died?Copy !req
419. Five.Copy !req
420. I never really knew them very well.Copy !req
421. Everything about my life
is not really mine.Copy !req
422. It's theirs.Copy !req
423. I didn't earn it.Copy !req
424. And it's all a lie.Copy !req
425. You of all people know
what it's like to wear a mask, right?Copy !req
426. That's all this is.Copy !req
427. The Queen name.Copy !req
428. Green Arrow.Copy !req
429. Masks.Copy !req
430. And I just realized
there's nothing underneath them.Copy !req
431. There is something behind those masks.
You're just afraid to face it.Copy !req
432. You're not running away
from who you are.Copy !req
433. You're running away
from who you think you're becoming.Copy !req
434. But you don't have to face it alone.Copy !req
435. Just because you've given up
on Oliver Queen doesn't mean I have.Copy !req
436. Thank you.Copy !req
437. Sounds like they're playing your song.Copy !req
438. Go on, get the hell out of here.
Go be a hero. Go.Copy !req
439. I want my lawyer!Copy !req
440. Hello? Hello?Copy !req
441. I want my lawyer!
I know you can hear me out there!Copy !req
442. Loud and clear, Mr. Schott.Copy !req
443. Oh, I know you.
You're Oliver Queen's business partner.Copy !req
444. Sorry about
trying to kill your boyfriend.Copy !req
445. You're not here for revenge, are you?Copy !req
446. Something like that.Copy !req
447. Leave Oliver the hell alone.Copy !req
448. - Pretty please?
- Help! Someone!Copy !req
449. Help!Copy !req
450. The guard will be back here any minute.Copy !req
451. You're crazy.Copy !req
452. That guard is going
on administrative leave...Copy !req
453. and he and I have a little agreement.Copy !req
454. See, you tried to escape.Copy !req
455. And he was only defending himself
when he shot you in the knee.Copy !req
456. No. No, please.Copy !req
457. They'll put me in solitary.Copy !req
458. No. No.Copy !req
459. Which is exactly where
you'll need to be...Copy !req
460. to spend some quality time
with your new toy.Copy !req
461. What new toy?Copy !req
462. It's...Copy !req
463. It's beautiful.Copy !req
464. Yes, it is.Copy !req
465. It's a meteor-rock-powered heart,
and you're gonna tell me how it works.Copy !req
466. You missed all the excitement last night.Copy !req
467. If I remember correctly,
it wasn't my excitement to have missed.Copy !req
468. Was it?Copy !req
469. I was expecting
to read about the exploits...Copy !req
470. of Metropolis' journalistic savior
this morning.Copy !req
471. Well, that's the thing. I think I may have
bitten off more than I can chew.Copy !req
472. Really?Copy !req
473. What's this?Copy !req
474. It's, uh...Copy !req
475. It's me asking for help.Copy !req
476. I didn't exactly finish my story last night,
and I missed the deadline.Copy !req
477. Okay.Copy !req
478. I guess I'm not ready to fly solo just yet.Copy !req
479. The sky is a big place.Copy !req
480. Uh-huh.Copy !req
481. Wow.Copy !req
482. There.Copy !req
483. Looks like you've got
one too many names on there.Copy !req
484. I just thought you'd wanna have
some creative input.Copy !req
485. Lois, I am sorry for letting you down.Copy !req
486. Is this an olive branch?Copy !req
487. Because there better be a whole tree
somewhere in here.Copy !req
488. And maybe a new pair of jeans too.Copy !req
489. You know, it's not every day
Lois Lane allows herself to be stood up.Copy !req
490. Well, then it's a good thing
it was only like a date.Copy !req
491. Huh.Copy !req
492. I don't know how someone...Copy !req
493. would get a second date
after messing things up like that.Copy !req
494. Well, if people were to try that again...Copy !req
495. they might wanna do it
on a slower news day.Copy !req
496. Hypothetically speaking.Copy !req
497. Well, those don't come along
very often.Copy !req
498. No.Copy !req
499. I'm sure people would make sure
they got it right the next time.Copy !req
500. Hypothetically speaking, of course.Copy !req
501. My thoughts exactly.Copy !req
