“Tell you what. If Lois actually does marry Lex and Phil dumps me, not that both of those things will happen, how about we make a pact that you and I will get married?”
Clark, run for the hills.
“Hey! Hey! Guys, playing hooky?” Wally called, his eyes shifting between them.
Oh no, oh no, oh no.
“What guy is going to want to raise what might not be his baby?
A guy like Phil who clearly wants children.
He wanted that. He would love nothing more than to have that possibility with Lois.
Fortunantely he does, despite what Herb has told him.
He would love to be able to cuddle with her and caress her large pregnant belly, knowing it was growing their child.
Yeap, this does sound like something Clark would love.
“It’s all that anyone on the streets can talk about.”
This fact alone will really catch Lois's attention.
His expression filled with incredulity. “Why don’t you ask him that, reporter?”
Lois:Because he is a lying, cheating scoundrel who tries to not tell me anything.
He crossed his arms. It was no big surprise that the billionaire didn’t trust her; she was sending notes to some other guy.
Lois:Technically, Lex is just a story. The other guy is the love of my life.
“If I were Mr. Vague Notes, I wouldn’t wait around for you while you dallied around with some rich guy.”
Lois: I'm not sleeping with Luthor.
He knew what the notes meant.”
Not without the key.
What kind of moron would believe everything he hears?”
One who takes that Lois is engaged to Lex at face value.
Jack hadn’t known Louie had meant Luthor and the man who had killed his father.
Ah, but he didn't. He meant Superman.
Jack swallowed. “Uh-huh. That’s not good.” It sounded like how his father disappeared.
And was done by the same people.
“So, the guy ended up punching a cop for no reason.”
Let's hope it wasn't a Lex-linked cop.
We’re talking huge major crush, love at first sight sort of thing.
Actually more on the level of "I loved you before I met you."
“Apparently, it was an accident.” Bobby shrugged.
Jack: But she is still dismissing the guy who actually took care of her.
“Anyway, let’s just say things aren’t exactly what they appear. You know what I mean?” He lowered his voice. “And how ‘bout from now on we refer to him as ‘Double L’? You know, just in case.”
But that could mean Lois.
Jack nodded. “Yeah. Okay. Thanks, Bobby. I’ll talk you to later,”
I think he would say "I'll talk to you later."
“What’s with the twenty questions? I’m just delivering a note. Geez, do you give the paperboy this much trouble?”
Clark: I pay him.
Clark swore under his breath as his zipped back into his apartment to lock up and change.
he got the message.
“Not now. Not here. Tomorrow. Contact me in the morning.”
Lois has just killed the power of the octopus message. She has essentially cried wolf.
At the last second, she paused and stared into his eyes as if she were drinking in the sight of them. Then she gave him a little smile and closed the curtain.
I wish Clark would draw hope from this, but I doubt it.
She took off that huge cumbersome engagement ring and almost tossed in on her dresser as if it was some kind of costume jewelry and she had finished playing with it for the day.
I think that should be "tossed it on her dresser".
‘Didn’t want to lose it down the drain’ sounded reasonable enough.
But wouldn't it be more fun to loose it down the drain.
Lois hated her apartment. It felt like a prison.
That's because it is a prison.
How could she continue to live on Carter Avenue after the investigation,
She could move to a different apartment on Carter Avenue.
Lois couldn’t wait for the next day. She didn’t know how she would accomplish it, but she was going to give Clark the biggest kiss of his life and tell him how much she loved him, Lex be damned.
I really hope she does accomplish that during the next day.
