Kind-of sort of, not really. I think the part you're looking for is #54.

Um... technically... it started with the bounce, then lead to that.
True. Then again, Lois bounced into the office, or onto him, in Alt-Clark’s case.

LOIS: Well, this explains why you don't have a past, but you do realize that everyone in Smallville now knows I'm married to Superman, right?

CLARK:

Yes, there are many French originated words in the English language, most of which I have to spell check, because I'm constantly misspelling them. laugh faux pas, rendezvous, derrière. Of course, this means nothing, because I often misspell words in English as well. blush
Fiance and fiancee are the ones that comes to my mind the fastest. They also are among the few that are generally differentiated by gender in the French manner.

Intellectual historians love to use French terms for all sources of things. At times I think it gets excessive.

but with the actors speaking French (do you use the word "doublage"?).
In English this is generally refered to as dubbing. If I remember correctly in "Just Say Noah" Lois makes a comment about this being done very poorly on Japanese films.

In Portuguese was made this same mistake. laugh I just found out when I got to read the scripts. It didn't make sense that Lois would want a teddy bear in her honeymoon, but it was what aired. lol
Actually what would not make sense would be Clark's extremely fast and enthusiastic getting of the bag with that item.

The teddy comes up again in either "Faster than a Speeding Vixen" or "Shadows of the Past", when they are packing to go to the news conference and Clark says he has room for it in his bag even if Lois doesn't.

laugh No, I don't think so.

No problem, Virginia. I'll write in English. Or at least, I'll try to: sorry for the mistakes. blush
Trust me, you make less English mistakes than I do, and it's my native tongue. laugh

And speaking of mistakes, the funniest mistake I ever saw was in the French translation of the show L&C.
.
.
.
In Soul Mates (I think), Lois speaks about the black teddy Clark bought her. The translator was certainly tired, VERY tired because we sometimes use the English word "teddy" fot this sort of lingerie. And he translated it with the word "nounours".... and this word means "teddy bear"!

So, I thought that it was the black and white teddy bear that Clark won for Lois in Smallville. Sure, I was a little surprised: why did Lois want this teddy bear for her wedding night. It was cute, but....
rotflol rotflol rotflol

Well, LnC were going to have a much more innocent honeymoon than we were led to believe. wink

Clearly the dubbers weren't watching the show or they'd have said something about the error.

At least we're not alone in the mistakes department. blush
The same mistake in two languages?? Hmmmm. I'm thinking that the mistake must have originated back in Hollywood.

EW: But, technically, THAT Walt didn't rape Rachel, or he'd already be dead.

ER: Aren’t those details?
Are they? Sorry, your honor, that should have read "alledgedly raped Rachel". Also, as far as Clark knows Walt is still alive and kicking in alt-dimension.

You know, I actually deleted that one again before posting *G*

Dumped him too quickly, huh?

Long time since. Tired. Stuff…
Well, let's see if you notice... well, I won't say anymore. Nobody else caught it either, not even my Betas. We'll see. evil

Yeah, those things are bad. I own a Return of the Jedi novelization where they did a literal translation of Yoda's 'there's another Sky...Sky...Skywalker'. Not funny.
Sounds hilarious! rotflol

LUKE: Crazy old Jedi, why is he talking to me about the sky?

No, I meant who cares if he did it. He’s still a bad guy and works great as target practice.

quote:HANK: What? It’s better than not have her at all.

CLARK: That's debateable.
Yah yah yah, Mr. Big City Buck Shot. Out here in the boonies, we take what we can get into our beds.

Quote
Wow. That's some friend.
RACHEL: I would think so. And yet, I never got chocolate’s form him on subsequent Valentine’s Days.

Nine months later, Lois is released and arrested for the disappearance of fameous FDKer.

RACHEL: I would think so. And yet, I never got chocolate’s form him on subsequent Valentine’s Days.
CLARK: You joined the army and MOVED away! There was almost 6 billion people on the planet and you expected me to find you by Valentine's Day with no forwarding address, not skipping a class, or missing a practice or deadline?

RACHEL: And you call yourself an investigative reporter?

Quote
rotflol Just, why would she wait nine months, except to make the connection easier to grasp, of course wink
Pretty much.

I thought he just went for bitcas, which is why he’s only friends with Rachel?
RACHEL: Why, thank you, kind, sir. Of course, I wouldn't have survived 8 years in the Army without some form of backbone. rotflol on the teddy stuff.</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I agree. rotflol
