Michael:
But water *stings* on open wounds. Especially small scratches.
LOIS: Oh? Does it?
LOIS: Michael! What? Are you saying he didn't deserve it? <<looks skeptical>>
Sounds like a Roman encampment.
LOIS: Let's hope that Trask doesn't like to walk around in a toga.
He fell into some bushes?
No. Actually, he keeps his balance quite well.
And he’s not even the one who sent her there. But Lois doesn’t know that and she’s probably enjoying this.
LOIS: Who Me?
Yep. Still mad from the MetSewRec.
LOIS: New anger, different day.

She can't handle the Truth!
Okay, she could handle it, but she wouldn't believe it.
Ooooh! She can slug him now without breaking her knuckles
LOIS: I've never broken my knuckles on Clark. <at least not in this story>
Oh my. He could still dress as Superman. Carry her like Superman. Until he stumbles and she falls. Make love to her like Superman – superquick and only once.
LOIS: But Cat said Superman could go all night long without stopping?
CLARK:
He’s really making a case for himself, isn’t he?
Looks like you were right about her not appreciating a squatter.
Yes, but I've read ahead.
