1. You're putting a lot of time into
this equestrian show.Copy !req
2. I didn't realize how
important it was to you.Copy !req
3. I'm inviting the Smalls to come watch me
ride in this weekend's competition.Copy !req
4. Oh. Well, I take it everything's good
on the father-daughter front.Copy !req
5. Actually, they're great.Copy !req
6. Well, this could actually work out, then.Copy !req
7. Let's just say I'm cautiously optimistic.Copy !req
8. I keep living my life
waiting for the other shoe to drop.Copy !req
9. You deserve to be happy.Copy !req
10. Thanks, Clark.Copy !req
11. Clark, what happened to you?Copy !req
12. Story deadline...?Copy !req
13. - Stop me when I'm getting warm.
- My article about the debate team.Copy !req
14. I'm really sorry.
I got caught up helping Lana.Copy !req
15. I'll get it to you first thing tomorrow.Copy !req
16. Well, unfortunately, Clark,
I needed it tonight.Copy !req
17. To fill in the hole, I had to blow up
the lunch menu to a 60-point type.Copy !req
18. - I'm sure that'll be fascinating.
- Chloe, it's my fault.Copy !req
19. - I asked Clark to help me.
- No, Lana, I don't blame you.Copy !req
20. Well, I'm gonna go lock up in the back.Copy !req
21. - Thanks again for your help.
- Yeah.Copy !req
22. Chloe, I'll make it up to you. I promise.Copy !req
23. I can't say that makes me feel any better,
given your track record on promises.Copy !req
24. It's one story, what's the big deal?Copy !req
25. That you couldn't give up
one riding practice to do.Copy !req
26. - Don't make this about Lana.
- I'm not. This is about you.Copy !req
27. And your perennial inability
to be there when I need you.Copy !req
28. - Don't you think you're being harsh?
- No. I don't.Copy !req
29. I'm never a priority in your life, I'm always
just your backup plan and I'm tired of it.Copy !req
30. - That's ridiculous.
- Is it?Copy !req
31. If that's the way you feel,
maybe I should quit.Copy !req
32. Maybe you should.Copy !req
33. Fine. I quit.Copy !req
34. Help me get this stuff out of the back!Copy !req
35. Right.Copy !req
36. Hey!Copy !req
37. - What do you think you're doing?
- Get out of here!Copy !req
38. Hey!Copy !req
39. Hurry up, dude. Hurry up.Copy !req
40. Okay, let's go. Let's go!Copy !req
41. I got it. I got it.Copy !req
42. - How could they do it?
- What, beat the crap out of me?Copy !req
43. I'm sorry, Dad, it just... It hurt.Copy !req
44. It actually hurt.Copy !req
45. - What'd you tell the police?
- I left beforehand.Copy !req
46. You witnessed a crime.
You have an obligation to report it.Copy !req
47. And put myself back on
Sheriff Adams' radar? I don't think so.Copy !req
48. What could I tell her,
I used my x-ray vision to see the plate?Copy !req
49. All right, I understand. Just calm down,
what else did you see?Copy !req
50. He was wearing a class ring.Copy !req
51. I think he goes to Smallville High.Copy !req
52. Just because he has a class ring
doesn't necessarily mean he goes here.Copy !req
53. I mean, he could be a graduate.Copy !req
54. Meanwhile, in Lana-land,
looks like your ship's finally come in.Copy !req
55. - Oh, I mean, we're...
- "Just friends."Copy !req
56. You better invest in a new set of cue
cards. I've never seen her so happy.Copy !req
57. I wish it was just me, but Lana's been
walking on air since her dad stepped up.Copy !req
58. Pete, who's that guy?Copy !req
59. You mean Eric Marsh?Copy !req
60. You really need to pick up a sports page.Copy !req
61. All right, Eric, show us what you got.Copy !req
62. Let's go, Eric. Step up.Copy !req
63. All right, give me some heat.Copy !req
64. - Nice swing.
- Yeah.Copy !req
65. Eric's got the highest batting average
in Smallville High history.Copy !req
66. He really put the team on the map.Copy !req
67. They're getting sponsorship for equipment
and uniforms because of him.Copy !req
68. Not to mention the scouts that have
suddenly added a detour to Smallville.Copy !req
69. Funny thing, though...Copy !req
70. he used to suck.Copy !req
71. What do you mean?Copy !req
72. We played on the same
Little League team for five years.Copy !req
73. He was always a benchwarmer.Copy !req
74. When did he go from zero to hero?Copy !req
75. Not sure.Copy !req
76. Sometimes you work hard enough,
you get your dream.Copy !req
77. Or he's under some
pharmaceutical enhancement.Copy !req
78. You thinking steroids?Copy !req
79. Right now, I don't know what to think.Copy !req
80. Lex.Copy !req
81. It's been too long.Copy !req
82. And I thought we agreed to keep
face-to-face contact to a minimum.Copy !req
83. For business, perhaps.
This is a social call.Copy !req
84. I've come to offer my congratulations
on your engagement.Copy !req
85. Though I admit, I...Copy !req
86. It hurt that I had to learn
of your pending nuptials...Copy !req
87. via the gossip pages of the Inquisitor.Copy !req
88. Come on, Dad.Copy !req
89. Since when has my personal happiness
ever been of the slightest interest to you?Copy !req
90. And where is...Copy !req
91. - Helen?
Helen.Copy !req
92. Helen's out of town at a medical seminar.Copy !req
93. I suspect your visit would be putting her
anger management techniques to the test.Copy !req
94. But then we both know you're not here
to discuss my wedding plans.Copy !req
95. Oh, what is this?Copy !req
96. Oh, Lex, I'm surprised that you would...Copy !req
97. put stock in the reportage
of a high-school newspaper.Copy !req
98. I usually don't...Copy !req
99. but I did some checking of my own
and Io and behold, it's true.Copy !req
100. What are you moving in the middle
of the night in unmarked trucks?Copy !req
101. Nothing out of the ordinary.Copy !req
102. I'd hate to think that you'd stoop to use
common thuggery to get back at me, son.Copy !req
103. Wait a minute.Copy !req
104. Are you insinuating that I had something
to do with robbing your truck?Copy !req
105. Dad.Copy !req
106. That would be illegal.Copy !req
107. Legalities are inconsequential.
I would want my property returned.Copy !req
108. For what it's worth...Copy !req
109. I had nothing to do with it. But the
fact that you came to ask intrigues me.Copy !req
110. What's in there
that's so important to you?Copy !req
111. Give my regards to...Copy !req
112. your fiancée.Copy !req
113. Enjoy.Copy !req
114. Henry. This is a surprise.Copy !req
115. Well, I was in the neighborhood.Copy !req
116. Regular coffee, no additives. And when
you come by three times a week...Copy !req
117. you don't need the excuse.Copy !req
118. I guess some small part of me
is still getting used to all this.Copy !req
119. What, dropping by for a casual visit
with your daughter?Copy !req
120. No, entering a business co-owned by
Luthor without an injunction in my hand.Copy !req
121. Thanks. But it's been worth it.Copy !req
122. I feel the same way.Copy !req
123. - What's this?
- The seating chart for the show.Copy !req
124. They set aside a section
for riders' families.Copy !req
125. I took a leap and reserved
a couple of seats for you and Jennifer.Copy !req
126. Lana, that was thoughtful.Copy !req
127. Yes, I'll definitely be there.Copy !req
128. But Jennifer won't.Copy !req
129. She's never really accepted me, has she?Copy !req
130. She just doesn't know you like I do.Copy !req
131. Give her some time, she'll come around.Copy !req
132. Pete, check this out.
Before Eric's sudden sports career...Copy !req
133. he was an honors chemistry student
with a straight-A average.Copy !req
134. Guess you don't get the babes
and the free Nikes for that.Copy !req
135. It says here he was in
a chemistry lab explosion...Copy !req
136. at Kansas State University
last summer during chemistry camp.Copy !req
137. That's probably why
he's got the plate in his head.Copy !req
138. Yeah, but what's he doing
knocking over a LuthorCorp truck?Copy !req
139. I thought you quit the Torch.Copy !req
140. Just clearing out my desk.Copy !req
141. Wait a minute, you quit?Copy !req
142. Apparently I can't be counted on.Copy !req
143. I didn't even know quitting
was an option.Copy !req
144. Funny.Copy !req
145. Tough crowd.
Hey, I'll catch up with you later.Copy !req
146. - Keep me posted on Eric.
- Yeah.Copy !req
147. Marsh?
Why are you guys interested in him?Copy !req
148. Doesn't matter.Copy !req
149. Clark, I didn't ask you to quit the Torch.Copy !req
150. Yeah, but all I do is disappoint you.Copy !req
151. I didn't say that.Copy !req
152. I just said you drop everything
for Lana with no regard for anyone else.Copy !req
153. I thought this wasn't about Lana.Copy !req
154. It's not.Copy !req
155. - It's not.
- Every time you see us together...Copy !req
156. you look at me
like I'm cheating on you.Copy !req
157. I'm sorry, but if that's
the way you feel...Copy !req
158. maybe we shouldn't hang out anymore.Copy !req
159. Tell me it's working, boys.Copy !req
160. This stuff's incredible.Copy !req
161. Another score
and we'll take it out on the street.Copy !req
162. Yep, as long as there's enough for me.Copy !req
163. I got a major league scout
coming to watch me next week.Copy !req
164. Then you can make
the next batch, champ.Copy !req
165. - Who do we have here?
- Hold him.Copy !req
166. You're not going anywhere.Copy !req
167. Were you following me, Kent?Copy !req
168. I know you robbed that truck.Copy !req
169. You're pretty smart.Copy !req
170. But you see, I'm smart too.Copy !req
171. I finally found a way
to have everything I wanted...Copy !req
172. and nobody is gonna mess that up.Copy !req
173. You don't know what you're doing.Copy !req
174. Looks like you know
about the meteor rock.Copy !req
175. It's dangerous. I've seen
what it can do to people.Copy !req
176. Like get me a multimillion-dollar
contract in the majors?Copy !req
177. He knows too much.Copy !req
178. All right, get up.Copy !req
179. If he goes, our problem goes with him.Copy !req
180. We don't know who else he told.
Let's pack up and get out of here.Copy !req
181. Let's go, man. Put this in the back.Copy !req
182. - Clark. Oh, my God, what happened?
- I saw one of the hijackers.Copy !req
183. He goes to our school. I followed him
to the old foundry. They jumped me.Copy !req
184. Clark, you still couldn't stop them?Copy !req
185. No, I think it has to do with
refined kryptonite.Copy !req
186. They had kryptonite bars,
the same ones that were in Lionel's safe.Copy !req
187. That's what they stole from the truck.Copy !req
188. Clark, what would they be doing
with kryptonite?Copy !req
189. Melting it down and inhaling it. That's
what's giving them incredible strength.Copy !req
190. - Jonathan, we have to bring in the police.
- Yeah.Copy !req
191. - The police can't do anything.
- Clark.Copy !req
192. Dad, they threw me into a blast furnace.
They overpowered me.Copy !req
193. If there was kryptonite in there,
I wouldn't be here now.Copy !req
194. We can't let our concern about
your secret intimidate us into silence.Copy !req
195. Maybe there is another way.Copy !req
196. Marsh, drop the bat.Copy !req
197. - What is this?
- I don't wanna tell you again. Drop it.Copy !req
198. You're under arrest
for assault and armed robbery.Copy !req
199. - What are you talking about?
- We got a tip, looked through your locker.Copy !req
200. You can't without a warrant.Copy !req
201. Guess again. We don't need a warrant
to look through a student's locker.Copy !req
202. The driver, he came to long enough to tell
us about the aliens that trashed his truck.Copy !req
203. Don't worry, now.
You can use your one call to phone home.Copy !req
204. Okay, the only time you're ever this quiet
is when you're sleeping. What's up?Copy !req
205. Clark and I decided to put our friendship
on an indefinite hiatus.Copy !req
206. Over one newspaper story?Copy !req
207. Let's just say that
certain insurmountable forces...Copy !req
208. finally made us raise the white flag.Copy !req
209. I'm sorry. If there's anything
I can do to help...Copy !req
210. Who is that?Copy !req
211. Jennifer Small.Copy !req
212. Thanks.Copy !req
213. - Mrs. Small.
- It's not what you think, Lana.Copy !req
214. I don't know what you mean.Copy !req
215. I am not cheating on my husband.Copy !req
216. I know that's what you thought.Copy !req
217. But the man you saw me with was just...Copy !req
218. an old friend of mine from college.Copy !req
219. Why are you telling me this?Copy !req
220. - I wasn't gonna say anything to Henry.
- He's also my divorce attorney.Copy !req
221. Divorce?Copy !req
222. Henry never mentioned anything.Copy !req
223. That's because he doesn't know.
At least, not yet.Copy !req
224. Why are you divorcing him?Copy !req
225. Lana, I've learned to handle
a lot in this marriage...Copy !req
226. but that's because through it all,
I knew I was Henry's priority.Copy !req
227. Since he met you...Copy !req
228. I am not sure that's true anymore.Copy !req
229. - I never meant to come between you.
- But you did.Copy !req
230. Lana, you are all he talks about.Copy !req
231. You're a window to a happier time.Copy !req
232. I guess I am telling you this
because I'm admitting defeat.Copy !req
233. You win.Copy !req
234. Mrs. Small, I don't want to win.Copy !req
235. Goodbye, Lana.Copy !req
236. - So much for an interview.
- I admire your dedication.Copy !req
237. Though I suspect the hospital
might not be quite so understanding.Copy !req
238. Mr. Luthor.Copy !req
239. What are you doing here?Copy !req
240. Paying a bedside visit to a loyal employee.Copy !req
241. It's Miss Sullivan, isn't it?Copy !req
242. You know who I am?Copy !req
243. I've followed your work
at the Torch for some time.Copy !req
244. Given today's front-page scoop,
I assume you came...Copy !req
245. hoping Mr. O'Connor would confirm...Copy !req
246. his connection with LuthorCorp.Copy !req
247. I think you just did that for him.Copy !req
248. It was never a secret.Copy !req
249. Unlike the now-missing
contents of your truck.Copy !req
250. On or off the record?Copy !req
251. The police report says robbery,
but no one's been able to find anything.Copy !req
252. We were moving some industrial material.
It's nothing important.Copy !req
253. Somebody sure went to
a lot of trouble to get to it.Copy !req
254. Oh, it's a competitive world,
you know that.Copy !req
255. Corporate sabotage is just
one of the costs of doing business.Copy !req
256. - Mr. Luthor...
- Miss Sullivan, I admire your zeal...Copy !req
257. and your work at the Torch
is exemplary...Copy !req
258. but trust me.Copy !req
259. You're looking for a mystery
where there's none to be found.Copy !req
260. Clark.Copy !req
261. Are you okay?Copy !req
262. I got blind-sided yesterday by a couple of
guys. Guess I'm still a little shaken up.Copy !req
263. What happened, did you get hurt?Copy !req
264. I'll survive. It was more of a wrong place,
wrong time kind of thing.Copy !req
265. I know the feeling,
at least metaphorically speaking.Copy !req
266. I ran into Jennifer Small today.Copy !req
267. Found out that she's filing
for divorce from Henry...Copy !req
268. and I'm the reason.Copy !req
269. That's intense.Copy !req
270. - Have you talked to Henry about it?
- What can I do without making it worse?Copy !req
271. He should know, there might be
a chance to salvage his marriage.Copy !req
272. Sounds like you should be
taking your own advice.Copy !req
273. I hear you and Chloe are calling it quits.Copy !req
274. That's different.Copy !req
275. - Why?
- I can't just sit here...Copy !req
276. and watch Chloe get hurt over and over
when I can't do anything about it.Copy !req
277. What's so bad that's come
between you two like this?Copy !req
278. Well...Copy !req
279. I wish I could make it go away.Copy !req
280. - You can't.
- You and Chloe have been friends forever.Copy !req
281. You can't just let that go without a fight.Copy !req
282. At least the Clark Kent I know wouldn't.Copy !req
283. If your father sent you,
I had nothing to do with the robbery.Copy !req
284. No, no, my father doesn't know I'm here.Copy !req
285. I'm sure his representatives
will be around, though.Copy !req
286. No, I came to talk about your future.Copy !req
287. - What do you care?
- I checked into your baseball career.Copy !req
288. I understand there's interest
from some big league scouts.Copy !req
289. Yeah, there's more than just interest.Copy !req
290. All right?
There's college reps, there's agents.Copy !req
291. This is just a bump in the road.Copy !req
292. Two felony charges with bail set
at a quarter of a million dollars.Copy !req
293. I'd say more like a brick wall,
wouldn't you?Copy !req
294. - Why, do I look scared?
- You look guilty.Copy !req
295. And if a jury agrees, you can kiss
all that talent and promise goodbye.Copy !req
296. Like I told the cops, I didn't do it.Copy !req
297. Well, I guess you have
nothing to worry about.Copy !req
298. But if the charges stick...Copy !req
299. you might need a friend.Copy !req
300. All right, what is it that you want?Copy !req
301. I want to know what you stole
out of my father's truck.Copy !req
302. Well, assuming that I even have a clue
what you're talking about...Copy !req
303. what's in it for me?Copy !req
304. Chloe, what happened?Copy !req
305. Go away, Clark.Copy !req
306. Are you okay?Copy !req
307. Physically, yeah, I'm fine.Copy !req
308. Emotionally...Copy !req
309. what do you care?Copy !req
310. I want to help.Copy !req
311. We'll get the Torch back on its feet.Copy !req
312. There is no "we" anymore, Clark.
There's only me.Copy !req
313. And this paper was my whole life.Copy !req
314. The one place I could come to when
everyone and everything let me down...Copy !req
315. and now I don't even
have that anymore.Copy !req
316. - Where are you going?
- To find a friend.Copy !req
317. Chloe.Copy !req
318. Hey, Kent, I heard the paper's
not gonna press.Copy !req
319. Did you do this?Copy !req
320. I don't know how the hell you got out
of that fire, but you'd better back off.Copy !req
321. What are you doing out of jail?Copy !req
322. Seems I've got friends in higher places
that I didn't even know about...Copy !req
323. and suddenly you're not so anonymous.Copy !req
324. I'll testify to put you away.Copy !req
325. Oh, no, I'd think about that, Kent.Copy !req
326. I know you're unbreakable,
but people that you care about...Copy !req
327. aren't. I'd sure hate to think...Copy !req
328. something happened
to those wholesome parents of yours.Copy !req
329. Clark.Copy !req
330. Clark.Copy !req
331. Your mother.Copy !req
332. How's Mom doing?Copy !req
333. She's got some...Copy !req
334. minor cuts and bruises.
I still want to get her checked out.Copy !req
335. This pregnancy doesn't need
any more complications.Copy !req
336. I should've been there, Dad.Copy !req
337. - You couldn't have done anything.
- Still.Copy !req
338. I'm not gonna let you
beat yourself up about this.Copy !req
339. What happens if they come back?Copy !req
340. You and Mom should go away,
until this settles down.Copy !req
341. I have never run away from a single thing
in my life and I'm not about to start now.Copy !req
342. Look around,
look what they did to this place.Copy !req
343. You said I can't protect you.Copy !req
344. You have to think about Mom,
about the baby.Copy !req
345. I am thinking about Mom,
I am thinking about the baby.Copy !req
346. I'm also thinking about you.Copy !req
347. Dad, please.Copy !req
348. Please.Copy !req
349. I'll take your mother to a doctor
in Metropolis...Copy !req
350. and maybe stay with your grandfather
for a couple days.Copy !req
351. Son, I'd feel a whole hell of a lot better
if you'd agree to come with us.Copy !req
352. I can't.Copy !req
353. I'm not gonna stand here
and ask you to do nothing...Copy !req
354. because you and I both know
that I would not do nothing.Copy !req
355. But I want you to
remember something, son.Copy !req
356. They have your strength...Copy !req
357. but they don't have
any of your other abilities.Copy !req
358. You make sure you give yourself
a fighting chance.Copy !req
359. - Lex.
- I gotta let you go.Copy !req
360. I just found out that you visited
Eric Marsh in jail.Copy !req
361. Were you the one to bail him out?Copy !req
362. I wasn't aware my visit
was public knowledge.Copy !req
363. What's Marsh have to do with you?Copy !req
364. I was the one who phoned
in the anonymous tip.Copy !req
365. Him and his buddies nearly
killed my parents yesterday.Copy !req
366. - Are they all right?
- They're in Metropolis, it's not safe here.Copy !req
367. I heard your father's back.Copy !req
368. - If this is some sick game between you...
- It's no game.Copy !req
369. Clark, that truck was carrying a load
of highly refined meteor rocks.Copy !req
370. If I'm not mistaken, I think my father's
resumed his Level 3 experiments.Copy !req
371. What does that have to do with Marsh?Copy !req
372. Look, I bailed him out,
hoping he'd provide answers.Copy !req
373. Maybe he'd lead me to the meteor rock.Copy !req
374. Where is he?Copy !req
375. I don't know.Copy !req
376. He beat up a security guard I had on him.Copy !req
377. There's gotta be a way to draw him out.Copy !req
378. Clark, I don't have anything Marsh wants.Copy !req
379. Except for the meteor rocks.Copy !req
380. Marsh has a connection inside LuthorCorp
that tells him when the shipments go out.Copy !req
381. If he thinks your father's bringing
another load out...Copy !req
382. I still have contacts at my father's firm.
They could let the word out.Copy !req
383. The truck will be empty when Marsh hits.
My security team will be all over them.Copy !req
384. I've seen what Eric can do.
You have to get the police on this.Copy !req
385. Just go home, Clark.Copy !req
386. I don't want you or your parents involved
any more than they already are.Copy !req
387. Once Marsh and his friends have
the truck, give them a lot of room.Copy !req
388. Nobody does anything
until they lead us to the meteor rock.Copy !req
389. We're set, Mr. Luthor.Copy !req
390. The truck's getting ready to move.Copy !req
391. Wait for my signal
before you start following.Copy !req
392. Nobody moves without my direct order...Copy !req
393. Change of plans.Copy !req
394. Okay, I've got the van.
Get ready to make the switch.Copy !req
395. Anybody follow you?Copy !req
396. I didn't see anyone, but we'd better
hurry. Luthor's bound to have it bugged.Copy !req
397. How's it feel, Clark?Copy !req
398. Eric, don't do this.Copy !req
399. You don't understand, Kent.Copy !req
400. It's done.Copy !req
401. That's all of it.Copy !req
402. At least for now.Copy !req
403. Hey, Lex.Copy !req
404. Clark, how are your parents doing?Copy !req
405. Just fine. They got home
from Metropolis last night.Copy !req
406. - That must be a relief.
- Yeah.Copy !req
407. Eric's arrested, so it looks like
your plan came off without a hitch.Copy !req
408. So it seems.Copy !req
409. The intriguing thing is,
my people had nothing to do with it.Copy !req
410. - Then who did?
- No one knows.Copy !req
411. Marsh and his friends aren't talking...Copy !req
412. but they were found unconscious and
the meteor rocks are still unaccounted for.Copy !req
413. Who do you think has them?Copy !req
414. I have my suspicions.Copy !req
415. Lana.Copy !req
416. - Hey.
- Hey, Henry. Thanks for coming.Copy !req
417. Your message said something
regarding the horse show.Copy !req
418. I hope you're still planning to ride.Copy !req
419. To be honest, I'm not sure.Copy !req
420. I don't understand, I thought you were
really looking forward to this weekend.Copy !req
421. I was. Believe me.Copy !req
422. But I think it's more important
that you spend this time with Jennifer.Copy !req
423. Lana, she told me you two talked. If this
is because of something she said...Copy !req
424. No, I came into your life out of nowhere
and dropped a bomb on your family.Copy !req
425. I didn't know how our relationship would
work out, but after a rocky start...Copy !req
426. I finally know that you love me.Copy !req
427. I don't want to lose that.Copy !req
428. I don't know what Jennifer told you,
but things between us aren't that bad.Copy !req
429. Henry, she's hiring an attorney.Copy !req
430. What?Copy !req
431. You need to talk to her,
tell her how you feel.Copy !req
432. Whatever happens after that is up to you.Copy !req
433. You're my daughter,
I just can't walk away from that.Copy !req
434. You're not.
I'll always be here.Copy !req
435. But right now,
I think Jennifer needs you more.Copy !req
436. Hey, Dad, how's Mom?Copy !req
437. You'll be happy to know that both mother
and child got a clean bill of health.Copy !req
438. - Good.
- Look, son, I wanted to tell you...Copy !req
439. Hi, Lana.Copy !req
440. - I'm proud of you.
- Thanks.Copy !req
441. - Miss Lang.
- Mr. Kent.Copy !req
442. You must be here for Donatello.
I'll saddle him up.Copy !req
443. No, I'm not practicing, Clark.Copy !req
444. In fact, I think I might
drop out of the show.Copy !req
445. I take it things with Henry
didn't go so well.Copy !req
446. I told him I'd always be his daughter...Copy !req
447. but we should put our relationship on
hold until his marriage gets back on track.Copy !req
448. - Wow.
- Yeah.Copy !req
449. How are things with Chloe?Copy !req
450. I went to go talk to her but this whole
Torch thing put her over the edge.Copy !req
451. She told me to go away.Copy !req
452. You two will work through this, Clark.Copy !req
453. I hope so.Copy !req
454. - I miss her already.
- I know what you mean.Copy !req
455. I think we should remain
cautiously optimistic...Copy !req
456. that each of us will get
a second chance.Copy !req
457. You know who's really
the loser in all this?Copy !req
458. Donatello.Copy !req
459. Poor horse worked so hard
and now he can't even strut his stuff.Copy !req
460. I guess I can't disappoint him.Copy !req
461. Besides, I wanted to share this
with someone special and I still am.Copy !req
462. You're still going, aren't you, Clark?Copy !req
463. You can count on me.Copy !req
464. Miss Sullivan.Copy !req
465. - Mr. Luthor.
- Your principal told me you might be here.Copy !req
466. I hope I'm not interrupting you.Copy !req
467. No. No, I mean...Copy !req
468. I've never entertained
a billionaire before.Copy !req
469. You'll have to excuse the destruction.Copy !req
470. - I was recently vandalized.
- So I heard.Copy !req
471. By the same men
who hijacked my truck, I think.Copy !req
472. Actually there's still a question.Copy !req
473. Eric Marsh owned up to the robbery
of the truck and the assault...Copy !req
474. but he said he didn't have
anything to do with the Torch.Copy !req
475. I mean, why confess
to the heavy crimes and deny that?Copy !req
476. Well, it's not easy
to understand the criminal mind.Copy !req
477. What's this?Copy !req
478. This is an interesting display.Copy !req
479. I call it the Wall of Weird.Copy !req
480. I'll come to the point, Miss Sullivan.
I'd like to help you rebuild.Copy !req
481. I've instructed the LuthorCorp foundation
to make a donation to your school...Copy !req
482. the fund specifically
earmarked toward rebuilding...Copy !req
483. and updating
the journalism department.Copy !req
484. Mr. Luthor, I'm confused.Copy !req
485. I mean, the struggling editor in me
wants to just leave it at "thank you"...Copy !req
486. but the journalist in me
has to ask, why?Copy !req
487. I'm impressed with your...Copy !req
488. willingness to explore
alternative ideas, options.Copy !req
489. You interned at the Daily Planet
this summer, didn't you?Copy !req
490. Yeah.Copy !req
491. I have a little influence there.Copy !req
492. They certainly could use some new blood.Copy !req
493. Maybe...Copy !req
494. a column...Copy !req
495. to introduce your unique point of view.Copy !req
496. I don't want to look a gift horse
in the mouth...Copy !req
497. but I don't understand why the most
powerful man in this city is helping me.Copy !req
498. We're after the same thing, Miss Sullivan.
The truth.Copy !req
499. You know, journalists are
the midwives of history.Copy !req
500. Perhaps with my help, we could...Copy !req
501. make history together.Copy !req
