Can I use the excuse of being sick, again? I mean again sick again. I'm hoping to be 100% soon. What a nice change that would be.

For a first* time ON a beach probably isn't the best place, unless there's a sand-free hut on said beach. (*Wink, wink, nudge, nudge).

LOIS: Clark’s handy. I’m sure he could build one in a jiffy.
ER: Nobody ever buys her chocolates for her birthday?
EW: Nope. Never. /Sorry, that wasn't the answer you were expecting?/

No, she thought he wanted a one-night stand earlier in the year, not on her birthday.
CLARK: For the nine-hundredth time, *I* don't do one night stands.
LOIS: One night lie-downs whatever.

She seems to focus on the oddest tidbits, doesn’t she?
she's got a point about him being fast enough to break the sound barrier across a room.
True. Seems they’ve never been overly consistent. Or maybe he was still recovering from Kryptonite poisoning at the beginning of Season 2.
So:
LOIS: /kicked Stoke in the crotch, saving herself from the Michael Jackson impersonator himself/
CLARK: /watched and wondered at all the other people who could have been saving if he wasn't obsessed with Lois's safety so much/
EW: Pretty much.

CLARK: Better they die for sure than Lois dies maybe.
Actually, that's KenJ's story. I doubt THIS Clark would be up for the torture of breaking in yet another new Lois.

LOIS: ‘break me in’? ‘BREAK ME *IN*’?
LEX: Yes, you know, so you make a good wife and what not.
LOIS:

CLARK:

LEX: Oh, no. I didn't, did I? Oh, that's just... kill me. Kill me now.

ER: She’s quite deceitful.
EW: You've met Lois, right?
Yes?
It's not as if Superman is a politician.
CLARK: Anyway, she'd be marrying me, not Superman.
Sounds like a politician to me.
EW: Technically, YOU dumped him, honey.
LANA:

#66. It’s always the guys fault.
No. She's still confident about landing Superman.
LOIS: Or flying him. I'm not picky.

CLARK: Yeah. Whatever, Lois. Don't die. You're blocking the screen.
LOIS: Don't you have x-ray vision?
CLARK: Always gives me a headache. Besides, you’re wearing a lead-lined costume.
Arguing is kind-of their career description. I mean debating.

Their relationship’s a job?
Too much? Or was Lois's admission that no one was more Male than Clark too surprising?
The first one made for a fun response

See, part of my grammar problem is that I use commas and ellipses (...) to represent pauses in conversation. Fixing... Fixing... Okay, fixed on the Archive version.
Yes. Funny aside, I never hear a pause in ‘Hold it right there’. Hm… I think I’d actually use a full stop if I needed a real pause.

ER: That she wants to stuff herself full of s’mores?
EW: That's ever been in doubt?
As her primary motivation? Yeah, kinda…
Be one or go for one or both?
Second one.
LOIS: Both.
At least she's 50% right.
CLARK: /is bad at math/ How is being wrong, 50% right?
LOIS: I'm always right.

Although, now that I think about it the only air mattress she needs is Clark.
CLARK: Was that an insult?
/points at Home series/ No, not really.
CLARK: /still trying to forget the whole nuclear power plant incident/ Don't look at me. Look at Lois!
LOIS: Did he just say I’m so hot, I cause global warming?
ER: See? The ending of Another Lois *was* all her fault!
Um... No. Lois talked about eating hotdogs by a campfire and it reminded of his night with Rachel.
RACHEL: I most certainly did not.
CLARK: /goes into details he won’t ever be going to be able to forget/
RACHEL: Never mind. I guess we did eat hotdogs. My bad. /plays the innocent farm girl/
Naughty!
ER: He could put some Kryptonite next to the bed. That way, he might be the one to die after all.
CLARK: Not helpful.
What?
LEX: Very helpful!
CLARK: /is once again traumatized/
LOIS: No. Not at all.
But it did help to distract him. Wasn’t that the point?

He's trying to not lie as much.
ER: Especially lies that might get Lois to buy him a new watch?
EW: You've been reading this story for years now, and you still haven't figured out that this Clark isn't good about phrasing things? /can’t believe the ER’s faux naiveté/
What?
CLARK: I don't blame myself for that.
RACHEL: Well, that makes one of us.
EW: /just joking/

Actually, no, since Lois is desperate enough to do him for free.
LOIS: Thanks. A lot. Wait. What? /is getting really fed up with all the red rose comments on this board/
Oops?
CLARK: What? I said I'd be more honest.
LOIS: He's just rubbing it* in to torture me, isn't he?
*being honest as opposed to other things.
Oops?

Do you have a better title for this important conversation?

Still lends itself to snarky comebacks, though

EW: Hoping you've recovered. /unrepentant/
Yeah, but now the cheeks hurt from grinning…
So, glad you come to enjoy my ride... roller-coaster ride. Story. You know what I mean.
