Clark: If it is hands on education.
Lois: What?
Clark: I mean, that sounds good to me.
Hands on education about Marilyn?
Clark: With Lois filling the title role.
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.
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).
Clark: Well, I am not the right man for her. I will just be her friend, at least while I have no hope.
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?
Clark: I'm not telepathic. It only works when you say it, outlouad.
