John: Thanks for the indepth FDK.
So he's watching the video Cat gave him. I wonder what it is, excatly.
That's exactly what I wanted you to be thinking at this point.
Lois: Does something have to be wrong for me to come to your place?
CLARK: Um... yes. After you practically pushed me out of the newsroom earlier.
Lois: Readers, remember this is just a cover to my true goal, investigation Clark.
PR: Anything you say Lois.
Lois: I am not scared. Not at all. I just want to advance my investigation, and this was the perfect cover. That is all that is going on.
Clark: You would be welcome if no one had threatened you at all.

PR: True her with your secret.
Clark: What's the point, I will be leaving in about two months.
Pretty much.
Lois: If I admit Tevino called, I will look too much like a wimp.
And, frankly, she doesn't want to think about it too much.
I think he would be better off just admitting what he is doing. It just looks suspicious to deny it.
He was embarrassed, and it was a naturral response. Unfortunately, he's used up with 'white lie' points with Lois.
PR: Wis move Clark, Lois would find out anyway.
Not worth the fight.
PR: I said this was a bad idea.
CLARK: Geez, aren't I allowed *any* secrets anymore?
LOIS:

CLARK: Guess not.
Well, at least he has made the wise decision now. He should have just told her what he was doing at the start.
It wasn't that important.
I figured that was Lois' first assumption.
CAT: I watch other types of movies.
I was more thinking she was subconsciously trying to send him a message that she wanted an Italian man.
Lois: That thought never crossed my mind. I in no way contemplated it, not at all.
It possibly crossed her mind once.

Just kiss the girl Clark, she will be OK with it.
Her feelings about him aren't what's stopping him.
Clark: If it is hands on education.
Lois: What?
Clark: I mean, that sounds good to me.
Hands on education about Marilyn?
I don;t think he will make it through two months.
At first I thought this was an "awkward apart pose" but since their knees meet, it isn't that.
Slightly awkward.
I hope Clark can explain this in a postive way. It is dangerously thin ice.
Didn't he?
You write such fun Lois/Clark interaction dialogues.

Thank you.
Well, this is not really a lie. It is teasing misdirection. He does not really want anything but her to realize he likes her in all possible ways.
It's very hard to say the right thing when you have a crush and you don't think the other person recipercates. Especially, when he believes she belongs to someone else.
This is extremely thin ice there Clark.
He did mention he preferred mad Lois to flirting Lois.
He actually got her to agree with him.
Semi-canon from 'Foundling'.
It would also make her argument be total jibberish.
Probably.
This is technically true, although some were said in a tone where her believing them was not at all expected.
LOIS: Sory. Nope. I'm not going to accept "technically true", I want bald faced truth!
He has not told her he was at one point engaged for one thing.
Hence "for the most part".
I guess I understand why Clark is doing this, but I still wish he would flirt with Lois more.
LOIS: So would I. I mean, we're just friends.
She likes being with Clark.
LOIS: Well, being with Clark is better than being alone. I mean...
Clark: No, I prefer not to have Lois go balistic on me. Plus, she might accept, and I really cannot sleep with him in good conscious, not when her Clark will be back soon. No, better not tempt fate.
They haven't kissed in months. There was no reason for him to ask her to sleep with him.
Clark: Asking her to bed would just be all wrong. No, I am not going to do it. Even if I thought I could stay here I would not do it. It would be taking advantage of Lois, and more likely cause her to run away than anything else. It is not a good idea. We have not even kissed in months.
LOIS: Still, it would have been nice to be asked.

What am I saying? No, it wouldn't. I mean... I want him to want me, but I want to also tell him no.
CLARK: Good thing I didn't ask.
Clark: Lois, you like being in charge. I am letting you be in control.
She might like being in charge with Clark, but she likes being swept off her feet by Superman, and romances (where that's more than often the norm).
I believe that should be "an ever-growing".
Thanks.
I love it when Lois protests too much.
LOIS: I didn't say any of that outloud, did I? Phew.
This is a good question, although the answer is, most of what he says is truth, even when said in jest.
LOIS: I just want a straight answer.
CLARK: You wouldn't believe it.
LOIS:
Because Lois does not tell him how wonderful he is enough.
And he doesn't have parents who tell him all the time. He's still working on that self-esteem.
LOIS: I *think* it. Doesn't that count for something?
I was hoping this was his plan.
You can take Clark from another dimension, but he'll still be Clark.
Lois: This is going to put a major crimp in my snooping plans.
