*** Continuation of Response to Darth Michael's FDK ***“It looks as if he was going to give this one to you as a wedding present.”
/excited/ To Superman-proof her!
LOIS: How else will I get him to stay put during our honeymoon? Now, put it back into the box and give it to me.
Oooooh! It’s the Lois-face
What else did you think they found?
To have that one worn by someone whom he trusts more not to bite him during certain…acts?
LOIS: /looks blank/ A sewer rat?
No, the mask did not cause all the discomfort.
SLUTTY LOIS: /wave/
MRS. COX: Ew, Lexy, I got a rash for that horrible thing.
PETER: Ah, yes, Mr. Luthor, sir. We have been expecting you. Yes, we have received your generous donation, thank you very much, that new church in the former Brazilian rainforest is just lovely. We have your new quarters ready for you, sir.
CARLOS: My church and orphanage are very old and not supplied by some rich gringo! How dare you suggest such a thing!
/points at contemporary revelations/
NIA: /blushes modestly/
I think you meant:

/I was looking for monkeys; it would have worked better./
LEX: 997 women. That's an odd number. It really should be a even number. Nigel! Send in 3 more women!

Because he’d have taken a bar of soap to her mouth? Because he wouldn’t want her to kiss him ever again with that mouth?
She doesn't want to find out.
Hmm…that elevator wouldn’t also be going down into the Arc, would it? Also, this Lois knows about the Arc, right? Will she tell Henderson?
Yeah, about 100 parts ago, she went on a little ride with Lex in that elevator.
Or maybe it’s another booby trap? You have to use the right elevator on the right day or else you end up a smear on the floor?
LEX’s GHOST: I could have *sworn* that was the elevator to take on my wedding day. *Who* changed the sequence?

LUCky CLEANING CREW: Darn. This locked door is leaking red dye *again*. I wish Mr. St. John would just give me the key, so I could clean it up properly from inside.
Bomb shelter. Underground mansion. Potato. Potato. (sic)
LOIS: But Luthor can't survive without servants or minions! You must send someone down there right away!
Maybe she should tell Phil?
LOIS:

We didn’t get Lex’s POV, did we when he was back upstairs at the end? It’s possible that he *did* go down on to Brandy, right?
LEX-C: Father *told* me that we are so special, we could fly. Like that flying monkey Mother Lois always puts out for.
No, you didn't get a Lex POV since he took the elevator down after finding Superman had escaped.
Say, it is sometime before noon, right? And she’s feeling sick…
Morning sickness really doesn't have anything to do with the time of day.
Will she now be using those filthy words she wouldn’t want Clark to hear?
JIMMY: Look, C.K.! Lois is on TV!
CLARK: Huh?
TV-LOIS: Get out of my

CLARK:

JIMMY:


CLARK: I never should have left. She's gone insane.
JIMMY:
![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/smilie/konfus/k020.gif)
Um... sure. That's it. I'm sure she's *never* acted like that before in her life. /cough/ since meeting you /cough/
Oh dear!
SPECTATOR: What? That slut is responsible for me losing my job!
LOIS: /sick/
LOIS: I thought Mrs. Cox was in jail.
She swallowed hard, trying to hold down the bile in her stomach.
HENDERSON: /worries about his car/
BILL: I just had it detailed!
She held out the scrap of paper in her hand. “‘The greatest glory is not in never falling,’” she read aloud. “‘— but rising every time we fall.’”
/shocked that the EW held on to that wonderful quote for so long/
Yeah.
![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/midi/konfus/c085.gif)
It's perfect for Lex, isn't it? I found that about a year... year and a half ago and I've been building towards it since then.

Possibly.
Also, I’ve gone back and checked out the POV bits you gave us. You little *sneak*!
![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/midi/konfus/c085.gif)
Awww. Gee, thanks, Michael. Someone did warn me that I'd been dropping too many hints lately.

Being on a plane with Clark Kent is no fun, huh?
JIMMY: /help/
CLARK: Next time, I’ll take Lois. At least she’d have wanted to join the Mile High Club.
JIMMY: Really, CK, you don't have to follow me every time I need to use the can.
Really, I figured it was for the gamblers.
Oooh! I know that one!
"There are three ways to ruin yourself -- gambling, women, and
technology. Gambling is the fastest. Women are the most
pleasurable. Crossing Lex Luthor is the most certain. "
CLARK: So…two out of three is not too bad, then, is it?
JIMMY: Oh *man*! You’ve got to go for the trifecta, now that you’re in Vegas!
I'm sorry, how is crossing Luthor "technology"?
I *think* they have slot machines above the urinals. /Potato - Tomato /
JIMMY: Look, C.K.! I won! I got those brand new chips for my coins, They’re even still wrapped! Every quarter won!
You only win if you get a chance to UNwrap them, Jimmy.
Dorm bike. Slept her way to top reporter. Hooked up with billionaire to get job at TV station. Then wasted it all on a fling with a colleague.
But a colleague who will fly her to Tahiti.
So…she plans on sneaking down into the bunker tonight? And when Clark gets back, there won’t be a trace but people will be swearing they hear moaning from the sewers every night, like there’s a porn star trapped down below?
Hmmm. Interesting theory.
Like her husband wussing out on their wedding night?
LOIS: /mad/ Clark Jerome Kent! You get your naked butt back into this bed right. This. Instant!
No, no. It was LOIS who said she could survive worse, not Clark.
CLARK: Man, I'm so not surviving that scenario.
LOIS: See, you can teach a lunkhead new tricks.
But she’d have been on the plane instead of meeting with the FBI agents.
Hence why Clark doesn't really believe her.
JIMMY: High Stakes *GAMBLING*!
(After first spin of Roulette wheel) JIMMY: What do you mean RED! I bet it all on Black. /sigh/ Nickel slots, CK?
Thanks for the giggles!
