Darth Michael: ER: /uh/ Oh dear, did I just do the wrong kind of reinforcement? So, marrying big money, not caring where it’s come from *and* whoring around the city? Yeah, she sounds like a lovely person. JACK: Sounds like most of the women I meet. LOIS: Hey! I don’t charge the men I do. I just may write about them in the paper. LEX: Bender, make sure you include in the pre-nup that Ms. Lane wants NO money from out arrangement. Nigel! How is our little plan regarding those infidels at the Planet coming? SWEETTART: I do charge them. Treason. Arms smuggling. Attempt of establishing a democratic government in a vassal state. LEX: I've got a vessel for your state right here, Sweetie! SWEETTART: :rolleyes: Because Jack would mention that Lois is involved with the dude? And all the men Lois gets involved with are dangerous sleazebags with a penchant for using women? CLARK: LOIS: Even you? CLARK: No, not me. I can't imagine why I forgot about me. That was just silly. / does happy dance / Lois thinks we're still involved. What Clark hears: “Lois. Lois. Loislois. Lois. Looois. Lois.” He’s out with the office slut? CAT: I resent that! Oh, wait. You meant Lois. Never mind. Had that note Jack had pretended was from Lois gotten him killed? Not yet? LEX: Give her time. He was about to leave when he noticed a woman walking down the street and enter the Daily Planet building. Jack scowled. What was she doing here, and dressed like that? Lois? Is she being followed by a man in primary colors? What about the videccus plant? It's on the other side of the desk. It's the phone she needs to worry about more. Oh, look! A yellow Superman lunchbox. JIMMY: So, you're saying I should have brown bagged it. JIMBO: What did *you* do? That was a collector's item! Duh! Without a Daily Planet to report the event, all the news are provided by the Met Star. I thought you guys wanted him to stand up to Lois more? Uh-oh. But it’s not green! The roof? No, it's granite colored. If you're talking about her ring that will be explained in the next part. “No,” he replied sharply. “I expected many things from you, Lois, but never this.” ER: [has Evil, dark side thoughts] “So you could have killed me in Smallville instead of Metropolis?” he said. TEMPUS: [gets an idea] Well, Tempus always liked Kansas in the springtime...

-- Continuation of Response to Darth Michael's FDK -- Because exposing Superman to during a Kryptonite during a rescue is a trick that just never gets old. Only thing more devious is if you give Lois a lead-encased locked with Kryptonite and then blow it up remotely while they’re out flying. FUENTES: Hmmm. That sounds like a good one. Why didn't I say that's what I had instead of a nuclear bomb? LOIS: Nooo! Ewww! That’s where *Lex* can put his ring. He hasn't had access to that portal. Yes, that’s right. You’re wearing a Kryptonian chastity ring. LOIS: I thought that the men were supposed to wear those. CLARK: Just threaten us with it and we'll be chaste. She going to return the ring to Lex and place it in a special place? LOIS: Eeeeewww! Noooo! If I do that, Clark would never be able to go near Lex and help me again. Besides…Ewwwwwwwwww! As much as Clark wanted to blame Luthor for his hospitalization during Nightfall, it didn’t add up. ER: Funny thing about that, actually, considering part 156…
EW: Sorry, I cannot comment about that until Part 156. ER: Lois now exposed Clark twice to Kryptonite while Lex tried to play a trick on them. How does Lois exposing SM to Krytponite imply that Lex was to blame for Clark's kidnapping during Nightfall? That’s why there’s no baseball bats involved. LOIS: What? I took mine with me when I left. Did she? RALPH: /while going through the box of discarded items/ Cool! A bat! In medieval times, or up to the 60s?, Cat wouldn’t have had any honor left by the time Wally started his insulting. In her fiance's eyes, Cat should always have honor. Actually, she does service them on the honor system. CAT: I never asked for payment! “What!” she snapped. “Is everything about sex with you guys? Pot. Kettle. Piece of tar. Yep. So, she flunked Advertising 101 in business school? Did that class tell her that she wouldn't amount to anything because people don't respect sex symbols for their contribution to society? GOODE: So, those pictures of Lois and Superman in a steamy embrace and then Superman shedding his clothes and then Lois’s after Lois got married to a registered human are taken out of context? SUPERMAN: How did he get a picture of me naked? I never take off the suit. CANON CAT: That's what I thought. Men look strong, but if TV has taught us anything, it’s that men are very fragile creatures, emotionally speaking. Plus, they don’t do well with pain, either. That’s why knife or gunshot wounds usually don’t hurt all that much and require just a band aid. Oh, so men aren't really emotionally fragile creatures with thick heads...uh... skins? Ooopps. “You, then I should set my sights on the richest man I could find.” ARTHUR: Burn! LEX: /mad/ CAT: What? Do you think I wanted Lois's rejects? (with one noticeable exception) I've never been *that* desperate. I was being understanding, here.” And proposing marriage. CAT: No, no. That was a couple minutes later. /pulls out another photo/ Here. Well, this depends on the benefits package. LOIS: Clark has very nice benefits. CLARK: CAT: So, I've *heard*. He said it like it had been my fault that he lied and cheated on me.” CLAUDE: Sounds reasonable. SAM: /agrees totally/ LEX: Duh! TEMPUS: Hey! Thanks.

I'm not part of Intergang, people! LOIS: Uh-huh.I was more thinking that Clark never was an employee of Mayson. My sentence has the "as an employee" caveat. LOIS: Uh, Clark. We haven't known each other a year, yet. CLARK: /gulp/ My! How time flies! This Clark really can sing "I loved you before I met you" to Lois. [QUOTE]Betsy showed up to deliver the bomb. MRS. COX: Hey! Nobody, and that's nobody, is allowed to call me 'Betsy' but Mr. Luthor. Now the secret of your name is out, you can't suppress it again. /grumble/ at the watch. It has now been around for nearly a third of the story. Although it seems to be making less and less of an appearance. It's still there because Lois gave Cat the information to use the tracking device within in it. I just mention it less often, because I keep getting this reaction from the readers. Clark: If you would just let me smash it, you would not get the reaction from the readers at all. I forget, did Luthor put tracking devices in the watch she got from her grandmother? Yes. Did she go to Suicide Slum without a watch at all? She really should make sure he is still following her. LOIS: Duh! Octopus note. Clark:Octopus is meant to be a call for immediate help. You have to be clear that it still applies after 8 hours. Lois has been clear about nothing of late except that she loves Luthor. I still think she is crazy to bring her engagement ring here at all. For one thing, has she had it tested to see if it has tracking devices? LOIS: It's a ring! There's no place to hide a tracking device. Also, I don't want to owe Lex if it gets stolen. What if he hallowed out the ring? Or put a tracking device in the band. I could see either working, at least in theory if we allow micro-devices. And that would be bad why? Better to be out a ring than out a hand. Why would Lois lose her hand? If she meets a very impatient robber in suicide slum. /frustrated/ there he goes again, rushing to conclusions and not listening to what she is saying. Could there be another reason that he's asking her to stop? But by cutting her off he is avoiding hearing what she is really trying to say.

Virginia said: Yes, but that's because you know more than she does and have read ahead. Actually, I think the major reason that I see more than she does, is that I have read this part multiple times. The first times I read it I was at least as blind-sided by what was going on as her. Reading it a second time just makes so much more sense. Although it is emotionally hard to do.

LOIS: [Embarrassed] um... purely coincidental. I was trying to be subtle. Uh... it... er... doesn't mean anything.
This time Lois is really protesting too much.

I went ahead and went back and read the mention of Lois dropping off the note at the end of Part 143. Was there somewhere where we were told what Lois had actually said in that note she left at Clark's place?

quote: This part just stuck me as one that deserved extra attention
Now, I know what to do to get extra attention in FDK. <EW had just had a very naughty idea> quote:ER: /uh/ Oh dear, did I just do the wrong kind of reinforcement?
<EW agrees> Oh dear. quote:/ties Lex on steel table and gets out scalpel/
LEX: What did *I* do? What did *I* do? Used Lois as a weapon? Blew up the Planet? Spied on Lois? NIGEL: Sell her? No, The Boss has his own harem she can join. Asabi, can you dose Miss Lucy with proper amount of Revenge? LOIS: Yuk, that smells like the MetSewRecFac. Anyway, still bored by Lex. LUCY: Oooh! Billionaire! NIGEL: I haven’t even sprayed her yet How does Lois exposing SM to Krytponite imply that Lex was to blame for Clark's kidnapping during Nightfall? Lois now exposed Clark twice to Kryptonite given to her by Lex. Doesn’t matter whether it was intentional or not. CLARK: I beg to differ. quote: So, she flunked Advertising 101 in business school?
Did that class tell her that she wouldn't amount to anything because people don't respect sex symbols for their contribution to society? No, but it would have told her about billboards and stuff.

ER: Lois now exposed Clark twice to Kryptonite given to her by Lex. Doesn’t matter whether it was intentional or not. CLARK: I beg to differ. So, Lex isn't to blame, Lois is? “You’re sounding paranoid,” Phil said. Hormones?
LOIS: [Mad] Just because a woman is paranoid doesn't mean she's hormonal! ER: So, it’s more of a mental situation then? DETER: You called? LOIS:

LEX: But I wasn't even IN this part! He’s like Gov. Tarkin. We can smell his stench from the first line where Lois shows up. Silly man. A woman can smell a wealthy man at a hundred paces. It’s a left over from the Renaissance. The rich nobles all wore layers of perfume to mask the stench of their own unwashed bodies. So, she can't got to the loo or talk to her co-workers outside of her office? Or hand in her copy? She's just chained to her desk? LEX: <Yes> JIMBO: Uh... no. I went with the basic model. LIL’ KAL: But Moooooom! I want a bomb for lunch! MARTHA: No, Clark. You know you always get heartburn from those. Junkfood’s not good for you. [Huh] I thought you guys wanted him to stand up to Lois more? ER: /looks left/ [who did?] /looks right/ [not me]
Oh, sorry. Well, um... okay? Michael
