Lois squealed in delight. “Last one in the shower’s a rotten egg.”
Um... so Lois is a rotten egg?
“Well, that’s what I was calling about Perry. We’ve been back in town for a couple of weeks, kinda getting re-acclimated. We’d like to come in today if that’s okay with you.”
“Now you know you don’t have to set up an appointment to come in here. You’re still my best reporter. Are you ready to get back to work? Did you get the rest you needed?”
Perry's a bit of a push-over isn't he? Can
I work for THAT Daily Planet?
“Well, about that, I can’t just hire him off the street, you know that. He has to apply for a position, I have to have an opening, he has to go through the interview process, I need his resume and I need to see his portfolio.”
“Perry, I, we, need you to cut all the red tape and hire him on my recommendation. Can you do that for me?”
“Lois, you know I have some leeway, but that’s a lot to ask.”
Glad he isn't THAT much of a pushover. Lois is asking for a lot here.
Since they had been back they had been keeping an eye on the news via LNN and they knew that the Prometheus shuttle was being prepared for launch. Clark, taking a chance on the history of this universe being a very close parallel to the other Lois and Clark’s universe brought the conversation back to the previous topic. “Mr. White, if the team of Lois Lane and Clark Kent can bring you a scoop on the Prometheus launch, will you hire me?”
So, this Clark knows what happened in canon dimension.
“Thank you Lois. You know I have you and Clark to thank for this. Clark, you were right.” She didn’t say that he was right that they would have been miserable together; she didn’t need to because they both understood. “Now I have a favor to ask of you.”
“Anything, Lana. Just ask.”
“I need a Matron of Honor.”
Really? Okay, I can see Lana and Pete hooking up quickly, having known him all her life, and him going off to a new job. But LOIS as her Matron of Honor?
Lois said, “Clark, how about we let them use our spare room until they’re ready to move in. That would help cut their expenses and give them some time to decorate.” Clark nodded his agreement. “What do you guys think? Want to live with us for a while till your place is ready?”
Lana said, “Lois, thank you for that kind offer, but we wouldn’t want to put you guys out that way.”
Lois!
You don't invite Clark's ex-girlfriend to live with you while you're still technically in the honeymoon phase! What's wrong with you, girl? Even if she'll be on her honeymoon at the same time. That just a little too friendly IMO.
And what's up with all this redecorating of apartments before they move in? Most people I know move in and decorate afterwards.
