This is a really fun moment! And poor Martha!
...where Bob, the owner, was drying glasses with a towel.
This is such classic imagery!
Oh, poor Martha! The tone of this really feels like her, too.
“Need a hand to get him to your truck?” Bob asked.
Martha held her breath. The answer was probably yes. But Clark’s incredibly heavy frame might raise some questions she didn’t know how to answer.
Becuase Clark is always so in control, I sometimes forget how big of an issue little, but non-concealable, things like this are for his loved ones. There's really always a little edge of danger there. It's a nice little piece of drama to watch Martha have to work through it.
He snorted. “You needn’t have come. I’m not drunk.”
This is somehow sadder than if he had been drunk.
He heaved a long, heavy sigh. “Lana broke up with me, or I broke up with her. Same difference.”
I think this is actually really sweet. As a collective, we care less about Lana (because Lois is obviously the important romantic lead here), but he's so broken up about it. It really shows off how much he cares about people/relationships.
“Well, there’s little chance of you ever getting a tattoo.”
A wry smile played around his lips.
Good job capturing Martha here. That one made me grin, too!
Clark Jerome Kent, you'll let me drag you out of this bar now.
It's just such a wonderfully absurd problem!
This is a hilarious last line!
