Thank you for filling my inbox.
You’re welcome! I did have three parts to catch up, plus 189

Also, Lois wasn't in Vegas.
Yeah, but you ended with Jimmy in Vegas, so the cut was…unexpected?
Oh, not a hiring interview. A reporter / businessman interview.
I know. The alt-story is funnier, though?
Maybe she turned them down and was regretting it.
Like she now regrets not marrying Lex Luthor?
But out of all the people in the world to hide out with, why Bender? Why his lawyer?
Who knows good hookers with low standards?
Because in pre-Another Lois, they were best friends

CLARK: /straightening his tie and swallowing nervously/ Probably best not to make jokes like that while I'm still vulnerable.

But they’re much more fun that way!
Quote:
He signed her over to some Mid-Eastern sheik he thought deserved a go at his bed bunny?
Kal-El? /I know, I know. Old joke/

No, I was going literal…
Gee, I hope that doesn't come back to bite Bender on where he sits.

Quote:
Like Lex jumping out of a Jumping-Jack box?
LOIS: /looks around Bender's office eying every piece of large furniture suspiciously/

EW: Um... Bender, you have something brown on your nose.

Which is how he expected his wife to decide to do her marital responsibilities with a little more vigor.
Oh. Right. Duh!
EW: So what's the value of a defunct company and a burnt out building, nowadays?
Midtown property? I’d say upper two-digit millions at least?
Perhaps Lois is more ethical than other reporters. Perhaps she takes her job in the fourth estate seriously and isn't in it for the financial gain.
That why she’s broke and has to pad her paycheck by working at the Metro Club?
STEPH: Gay guys. Those are just the ones who haven't seen me naked, right? All the others have come to their senses.

Who says alt-Clark is lying? Didn't Jenny suggest that he buy Lois a gift?
About the anniversary?
JIMMY: Well, he loves you, doesn't he? /about to die/
JIMBO: The real reason Jimmy leaves Metropolis.
Lois?
CHICKS:

CLARK: Wouldn't that be lying?
EW: He could kiss Jimmy on the lips when he arrives back from his interview.
JIMMY: Hey, man. That's a double edge sword.

CLARK: I don't understand it. Jimmy's looks just like me. /points to network's decision to change Jimmys after S1/

LOIS: And people say that *I* have vision problems.
PENNY: James Bartholomew Olson. Superman!
CLARK: I was thinking something a bit lighter, like War and Peace or David Copperfield.
VEGAS WOMEN: Ew. He's a geek. Look what he's reading.

Quote:
He’s quite the grumpy vacationer.
Well, he did leave his bed bunny back at home.
LOIS: *Excuse* me? Bedbunny? I wish!

Quote:
Maybe she could just print out the one page?
LOIS: Like I really buy them a dictionary. It was a metaphor.
Oh. My bad.
Quote:
Ooooh! Ooooh! I know! I know! Pick me! Pick me!
He shot someone else? He had Hellar burn someone else to look as if he had been shot?
No!
LOIS: Helping me IS the most important part of any sources' job.
She’s quite full of herself, isn’t she?
Usually book smarts come from non-fiction and not fictional stories.
LOIS: But Crichton does lots of research!
AUDIENCE: Crossover! Love it!

EW: It really would have made JP2 more fun (and believable), if Superman had showed up in San Diego, don't you think?

Quote:
You already considering buying an e-car for when your little ones reach that age?
hyper I'll be let out of the house without the kids someday?

And can handle the sexual reference better than Clark who just sputters and blushes whenever sex is mentioned?

What if Lex took hostages?
Umm…
LOIS: Geeze. You leak Superman's secret identity once and you're scarred for life.
CLARK: Once?

LOIS: Cat already knew when I told her!
LOIS: My, it's awfully *hot* in this cage. /starts to remove clothing/
CLARK: I can fix that! /blows freezing breath in the room/
LOIS: Claaaark. Now, I'm cold. Can you warm me up? And don't use heat vision as I'll get burned by the hot bars.
CLARK: /doesn’t like the idea of a naked Lois who’s freezing/

Isn't it better to rub it in April's face that he's no longer interested in her now that he's a celebrity himself?
Might hit her ego, though. And there’s nothing worse than a depressed model. She might start eating again.
Quote:
Maybe he could do a book? Lane and Kent – Super Frauds
LOIS: EX-cuse me. *I'm * not a fraud!
CLARK: Erm…Lois? What about *me*!
LOIS: You? You *are* a fraud. So shush it!
Quote:
What about that pack of sex offenders nesting in the corner over there next to the elevators?
LOIS: Oh, EW cut the scene where I flea bombed the place before walking in.

We *haven't* heard from Ralph since the DP's demise, have we? /EW wonders where she buried that thread/
Oh dear.
Quote:
Maybe the fire marshals didn’t know that?
Or maybe Luthor bought them off?
