Hi Bob!
So, moral bankruptcy will be declared today?
Within a few minutes, the more healthy look was long gone. Superman liked to wear red, and Lex loved to accommodate him by making sure that he was wearing plenty of his own blood.
I wonder, is Lex wearing a business suit or a coverall to prevent all that nasty blood spatter from ruining his silk shirts.
“I thought you might like to know how Lois is doing. I never realized how demanding she could be. After seeing her interact with her maid – did I tell you that she had a maid – I'm even more convinced that she was destined for much more in a mate than a Kansas refugee.
Okay, so not going to be surprised by just how vicious she’s become. Or, maybe he would have been, once it’s directed at him.
The fact that a more defiant expression from Superman could trigger this level of concern, meant that it might be nearly time to end this. Yes, he would make tomorrow morning's visit with Superman extra special.
So, instead of performing suicide-by-balcony Lex is now opting for suicide-by-Kryptonian?
“We're leveraging her generally suspicious nature to foster an extreme level of disbelief in scientists. This is the first step to having her dismiss the evidence against you that she discovered after the Nightfall mission.”
Oh boy.
Mendenhall seemed to pick up on his meaning. “We are reinforcing her perception that she loves the smell of cigar smoke. In fact we have one sequence that we are very proud of that should cause her to come to associate that smell with arousal.”
We believe we can eventually leverage this to the point that she may even come to believe that anything done in the name of success is justified.
Later…
LOIS: No officer. You see, this man, Lex Luthor, he was standing in the way of me getting out of that bunker. Since I wanted to leave, it was only natural for me to remove the obstacle to me succeeding in that matter.
As long as we make each step small, then, given enough time, we can move her a long way.”
I guess it’s a good thing most politicians aren’t smart enough to corrupt the public only in small steps but instead aim for big.
“At this stage, yes. But I can show you recordings from only four hours later, which clearly indicate that the programming had reasserted itself.
Oh great. Also, this means Lex has to be careful when making love with his future wife to ensure she doesn’t hit her head on the headboard during their passion.
“That will begin in approximately another two to three weeks. Phase two will reinforce the concept that the role of a woman is to be a good wife to the strongest man she can find.
So, it’s important that both Superman and the president are dead, huh?
At the same time, we will be building on ideas that we introduced in phase one to strengthen her belief that power and ruthlessness is the ultimate sign of strength and that it is her desire to become the wife of that kind of man.”
Yes, but what about Bill Church?
If you could provide information of his past relationships, it should be easy enough to plant the seed of an idea that he has been cheating on her.
Yeah…it might be simpler to just tell her that hubby’s dead.
By accepting that you were wronged, and knowing that she had been a key player in unfairly ruining the life of the person that has now saved her, she will commit herself to you and the goal of making up for her mistake in wrongly accusing you. Once this happens, she will be yours for the rest of her life.”
Well, Bob, you’ve certainly outdone yourself in planning this thing out. You might actually be able to grab the ‘Evil Writer’ crown.
Clark glanced up to the Kryptonite suspended about his head. The poison was at the lowest level. Clark remembered from the first night, that the Kryptonite at that level had triggered excruciating pain. Tonight he barely felt it at all. More than anything else he felt an overwhelming fatigue.
Oh boy. They’re actually burning the Kryptonian out of him and making Clark human. Then, once Clark’s just a well-muscled human male in his late twenties, he might, kinda-sorta, take offense to some 40 y/o dude trying to hit on his wife.
Then he surrendered to the black.
To be concluded
*squints*
