- Lois Lane: Here's what's been bugging me. The other night I was thinking about all of my past relationships. And so what I did was I made a list of the positive ones and all the negative ones.
- Clark Kent: And...
- Lois Lane: And they all ended up in the negative column, especially my last one with Lex.
- Clark Kent: Ouch.
- Lois Lane: Yeah.
- Clark Kent: But now you have me so none of that matters.
- Lois Lane: Oh Clark... My point is that I've worked through a lot of my fears, a lot, except maybe one. And it's not really a fear it's actually more of a concern... about that *thing*.
- Clark Kent: Well actually you bring up a good point because we've never really talked about our past.
- Lois Lane: Right. Right, exactly and uh well I just wanted you to know why I'm a little skittish about crossing the intimacy threshold. You've been so understanding that I thought maybe you were a little skittish too?
- Clark Kent: Well my experience has been a little different... I'm a little different.
- Lois Lane: Sure.
- Clark Kent: I mean, I've had girlfriends. I've dated. But that thing, the intimacy threshold, the *big* threshold... I've never really... crossed it.
- [Lois drops her fork]
- Clark Kent: I've stepped right up, taken a good look...
- Lois Lane: [Trying not to freak out, can't look at Clark] Oh my God.
- Clark Kent: Lois, I'm not from here. So I'm always asking myself 'do I really belong?' Am I really supposed to have a life here...
- Lois Lane: Oh my God.
- Clark Kent: Lois are you listening?
- [She looks at Clark]
- Clark Kent: Cause I'm kinda pouring my heart out here.
- Lois Lane: Oh I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm just a little... could we walk?
- Clark Kent: Sure.
- [They start walking]
- Lois Lane: So what you are saying is is you are a vvvv... .a very patient man.
- Clark Kent: Lois I needed to be sure. I needed to meet the one person that I could share everything...
- Lois Lane: No I admire the way that you dealt with this, I just also feel a little...
- [shrugs shoulders]
- Clark Kent: Yeah?
- Lois Lane: I just wish you'd told me, this is big.
- Clark Kent: I didn't exactly know how to bring it up.
- Lois Lane: I mean it already adds a lot of pressure to a situation that has plenty of pressure.
- Clark Kent: [Turns Lois to look at him] Lois there is no pressure because I'm sure that I've made the right choice. You are the person that I've waited for.
- Lois Lane: I just wish I had waited too.
- Clark Kent: No, no, no...
- Lois Lane: Well I do. Especially since they were practically federal disasters.
- Clark Kent: Well then think of it that way. I'll be your first non-federal disaster. You'll be my first...
- [conversation is interrupted]
- Lois Lane: I was thinking about that "thing"
- [the intimacy conversation]
- Clark Kent: Mhmm
- Lois Lane: I'm really glad that we talked.
- Clark Kent: Me too.
- Lois Lane: You know just when I think I know everything there is to know about you you take my breath away with something new.
- Clark Kent: Good. Because that's exactly how I feel every single time I see you.
- Lois Lane: Oh, I'm counting the hours until our honeymoon.
- Clark Kent: Morning
- Lois Lane: Morning. Thank you for the flowers and the coffee. What's the occasion?
- Clark Kent: The occasion is I'm in love and I'm getting married.
- Clark Kent: What are these?
- Lois Lane: I've been thinking about our honeymoon.
- Clark Kent: Well there's a nice thought.
- Lois Lane: With all the money we are gonna save on airfare thanks to Superman express we can go just about anywhere we want. Paris, Hawaii...
- Clark Kent: I don't care where we go Lois as long as I'm with you.
- Lois Lane: Well let's say we go to Hawaii. We can stay in one of those huts on our own beach.
- Clark Kent: Oh yeah.
- Lois Lane: You know with the thatched roof and ceiling fan. Nice soft bed.
- Clark Kent: Perfect.
- Lois Lane: That is if you like soft beds.
- Clark Kent: A soft bed's fine.
- Lois Lane: Cause you know there are other kinds of beds. There's hard, firm, straw mat, futon, some people even like the floor.
- Clark Kent: Lois any bed that you choose will be fine with me.
- Lois Lane: Well what if it's not? I mean what if you are expecting one type of bed and you end up getting a completely different type? You might be disappointed.
- Clark Kent: How come I get the feeling that this isn't all about... beds?
- Lois Lane: Well it did occur to me there is one or two things that we never talked about.
- Clark Kent: One or two things?
- Lois Lane: One thing.
- Clark Kent: What thing?
- Lois Lane: THE thing.
- Clark Kent: Oh. That thing.
- Lois Lane: We haven't had any experience together, well much, I mean with each other. Oh God what am I doing? Sucking the romance out of this like a vacuum.
- Clark Kent: It's okay.
- Lois Lane: It's just, well we've waited... and I'm glad.
- Clark Kent: I'm glad too.
- Lois Lane: But then... it's for life and what if... what if you... oh if this is half as stupid as I think it is just kill me.
- Clark Kent: No, no, no no no...
- [Their conversation is interrupted]
- Lois Lane: You know, when we were at the beach he showed up when we started kissing. And that car chased us down when we were in the street holding hands.
- Clark Kent: So?
- Lois Lane: So maybe if we get close right now he'll make his move. Kiss me.
- [They kiss]
- Lois Lane: Oh I never thought I could be uncomfortable kissing you.
- Clark Kent: Don't think about it.
- [They kiss again]
- Lois Lane: Still nothing.
- [They kiss longer]
- Clark Kent: Anything?
- Lois Lane: [In between kisses] Oh well... it's starting to be a little more... comfortable.
- Clark Kent: Yeah.
- [They fall on the bed, fewer clothes, continuing to make out and rolling around]
- Lois Lane: This isn't really happening is it?
- Clark Kent: No it's all in our minds.
- Lois Lane: How come it feels so real?
- Clark Kent: Who cares?
- Lois Lane: [They continue to make out and pull clothes off] Oh Clark...
- Clark Kent: So now that we're back in real reality, want to finish our conversation?
- Lois Lane: Clark I want...
- Clark Kent: Yes?
- Lois Lane: Pastrami.
- Clark Kent: What?
- Lois Lane: On rye, Russian dressing, sliced pickles, side of slaw, cream soda and then...
- Clark Kent: And then?
- Lois Lane: And then we can deal with that thing.
- [a moment later]
- Lois Lane: I think I'll have some fries too.
- Clark Kent: You're nervous!
- Clark Kent: [in Jaxon's virtual world] I am getting pretty sick of seeing the same people over and over again.
