"What are we doing here ?" "Well, I don't know, exactly," "I got this hot tip that there's some weird going on up here and I thought it might be a big story." "By weird, you mean two people at Make-out Point not making out ?" "You're right." "You know what ?" "We're undercover, we should probably be a little more convincing." "Are you putting the move on me ?" "No !" "No, no..." "Come on !" "Do you want me to ?" "OK, look," "I know we planted our flag on this summit of intimate territory back when we were interns but," "How that was... wasn't it ?" "No..." "It definitely was." "OK, me too, really, I mean... really, definitely." "And it's not like I wouldn't mind exploring that territory again... one day." "But I just thought maybe this time we could dig a little slower." "But I'm slow !" "But slow is great." "You'll barely see me move." "Wanna go for a swim ?" "But I didn't bring my bathing suit !" "Neither did I..." "I'm racing to lake !" "Ok." "Hahaha." "What was that ?" "That came from the path." "Come on !" "Oh yeah, we should definitely go check that out in a really dark woods." "Let's go !" "Why would anyone wanna wander into the woods ?" "They were probably headed to the lake." "This is a really bad idea." "You know, maybe we should call someone." "Hello !" "Is anyone there ?" "No, I was thinking more like authority figures who carry weapons, you know." "Thanks." "Looks like the naked trail ends here." "Is that... ?" "Oh my God ?" ""Wither"" "Is that the invitation for the ball ?" "Hum hum, I just RSVP'd." "I hope Lex gets a good turnout." "I can't imagine anyone from Metropolis' who's who list is not showing up to help the families affected by Dark Thursday." "You know, I responded for two." "Thanks mom, but costumes usually aren't my thing, besides it's not really the place for reunion you know." "How do you feel about the two of them together ?" "I don't know." "It's like they're different people." "We all have our own ways to moving on." "Whether it's about growing up or just surviving." "Mom, I've lost Lana, Dad, Jor-El... you don't see me as a different person ?" "Well, in a lot of ways I do Clark." "All those things have shaped the person you are now." "And the person you'll become." "I already know what the devices isn't, Dr. Grohln." "Your job is to tell me what it is." "I want a report." "What's all this ?" "My God, you're complexion is even more radiant than in the magazines." "This is Monica." "She's helping us pick up the costumes for the charity ball." "She can help you put something together." "Hum, well, thank you for coming." "But I think I can dress myself." "Oh, come on, Lana !" "I thought you'd have fun becoming anyone you want." "Oh, I can tell you what I'm not." "The next Lex' girl." "Monica would you excuse us ?" "You saw this morning's papers ?" "Look Lana, I was raised in front of the cameras." "I know it can be hurtful." "When I was 13, a reporter caught me between classes at boarding school." "He asked me how I felt about my mother's death." "A mike shoved in my face in front of classmates I couldn't stand." "That's how I found how she died." "The press will tear us apart if you let them." "Well, they're right about the revolving door of women you've had." "Maybe." "But I've never asked any of them to move in with me." "Lex, I know you." "You desire what you can't have." "So what happens when you get it ?" "I'd be lying if I said I didn't struggle against my nature everyday to let myself out this with you." "And I'm fighting mine to believe you." "Lana, I'm giving you time, I'm giving you space, but you still don't know what you want." "And you do ?" "I want us to stop pretending we're only roommates." "Lex, I just need to be sure." "I always trust people too much." "No !" "You trusted Clark too much." "Now you can always come up with excuses why this won't work, but you have to decide." "You can either fight with Clark's ghost, or you can be with me." "I'm done paying for his mistakes." "Hey !" "Hey !" "How goes life living with Lois ?" "Close to the coffee, further from sanity, but you know, until Metropolis university reopens, I guess" "What is the thing they say about a gift horse ?" "Stay away from the mouth which is difficult because Lois uses hers so much." "Haha..." "Right... yes !" "So, what's going on ?" "Ok, so," "I found a body in the woods up the Long Pine last night." "Girl and guy decide to make like birds and the bees, girl gets her wings cut, guy buzzes of." "You think he killed her ?" "I seriously doubt some freshly minted pimple popper is physically capable of doing that." "I mean the M. O wasn't exactly" ""normal," If you now what I mean." "What do you mean ?" "Impaling people in trees in under five minutes isn't humanly possible." "Unless the guy was infected with kryptonite." "And that's our only lead and he's still missing." "What were you doing at Make-out Point ?" "What's up CK ?" "Hey !" "Hi" "Queen Industries." "Must have caught a strong headwind." "Misses Kent has been waiting for it for weeks." "Thanks." "You're welcome" "Oh, crap." "I'm sorry." "Just to you know with a face like that, you could do a lot better than playing errand boy for the rich and elegant." "Here." "Thank you very much." "What is... what is that ?" " Your tip." " It's a tip ?" "Okay." "Seriously." "Aim higher." "Listen, hum..." "Thought I heard the door." "Yeah." "Your pledge finally sailed in from Queen industries." "Where's the man who came with it ?" "The carrier ?" "Oh, I gave him his tip and sent him merrily away." "Handsome, chiseled features with a smile that could light up a barn ?" "Mrs. Kent." "You have a crush on the carrier ?" "You mean the billionaire CEO who stopped by to talk about his financial support to my platform ?" "No, Lois, I don't." "I have never event met him, and now I probably never will." "That was Oliver Queen." "Sorry, they have already organize the search party, and the police talks from Grandow that would be here in another hour." "Chloe, where exactly did you find the body ?" "It was just up the road, about a quarter mile." "Okay." "Guess I'll meet you there." "You're not supposed to be here." "I'm sorry ?" "Oh, I'm..." "I'm with the search party." "Clark Kent." "Gloria." "Park Services." "They found anything yet ?" "No, nothing." "Have you ?" "It's a... big forest." "Lots of green." "You must feel isolated out here, working all alone." "There's no one for miles." "No." "It's... what I love about it." "We haven't met before, have we ?" "I think I' remember." "So you... you searched this area all by yourself." "Couple of time." "Haven't found anything that's not supposed to be here." "One more search wouldn't hurt." "I found him." "Go get help." "Clark, where are you ?" "Over here." "He's alive !" "Oh, my God !" "Clark, you're bleeding." "We don't have much time." "Mum's in the cafeteria." "Wow !" "This guy's pretty messed up." "Not as bad as his girlfriend in the tree." "Hey, what are these things on his lungs ?" "Beats me." " Jimmy !" " What ?" "We've to get that in the paper at least to warn people." "We don't even know what it is yet." "She's right." "Pictures of some weird X-rays isn't exactly page one material." "Yeah, maybe we'd have had a better picture if I was with you, guys, when you found him." "Okay, that was my call." "You just some much more at home in the streets of Metropolis." "I know the woods freak you out." "No, no, you know what's freak me out ?" "It's my girl trapping into a forest where something like that can happen." "Your girl ?" "You're not yet ?" "Guys." "This really isn't the time." "Yeah, you're right C. K." "I gotta go take care of something, so we'll talk later... alone." "Okay." "Is he always that fired up ?" "You should see him when he's on his tenth cup of outstrip." "How are your hands ?" "Healed." "Which begs the obvious question since not only Obiwan's light saber can Ginsu your super-dermis." "How did a little vine cut through it ?" "I don't know but I think that weak wasn't Kryptonite." "Well, I sent a cutting of the vine to my botany professor that met you." "If it's not meteor rock, what else could it be ?" "You know Long Pine ridge goes right against Luthor estate." "There's a greenhouse that runs right near the property line." "That'd be a good place to start." "Okay." "Call me the advocate of the evil, Clark but don't you think that pointing a pitchfork at Lex is a little bit on the stretch ?" "It had his hands on a Kryptonian ship." "He was possessed by Zod." "He knew how to destroy this planet." "If the horns fit." "Ok, fine." "I just saying you might wanna check your personals at the door." "Seeds." "You've always had an eye for beauty." "Its Latin name Permasonus Fossus." "Beauty that belies a dark nature." "Well, so even your plants have hidden agendas." "Well, I guess it all comes down to survival of the fittest." "Doesn't it ?" "A strange vine has cropped up over the ridge at Long Pine." "It's attacking people." "And naturally you came to my Little Shop of Horrors to foil my ingenious plot to repopulate the planet with vegetation." "Sorry, Clark." "I'm all out of evil." "Lana must be a coming influence on me." "She's never gonna fit in your word Lex." "Unlike you, I'm willing to do whatever it takes so she does." "You can keep fooling yourself that you've changed, but the closer you get to Lana, the closer, she is to finding out who you really are." "The days of you showing up unannounced in my home are over." "You're not welcome here." "You found your way in, you can find your way out." "Hey !" "Hi." "Um." "It was such a rush to evacuate the dorms, I guess I took a few of your things." "Thanks." "Oh, wow, I was really missing this, uh..." "Half chewed eraser." "And your library book, which is two weeks overdue." "Lana." "I don't know." "I felt like I needed an excuse to come and talk with you." "Excuse accepted." "Let's go upstairs." "I feel that's a lifetime since I lived here." "Yeah, well a sprawling 17th century mansion isn't a bad upgrade" "Huh, huh." "Actually, it's getting kind of crowded in there." "Water ?" "Please." "Lex seems to think that I'm dragging Clark's ghost around with me." "And he didn't sign up for a threesome." "Chloe, I have this terrible feeling." "I feel like if I do this with Lex," "I'm gonna lose my identity." "Well Lana," "If you don't trust him now that dynamic is not gonna change" "It's just I keep blaming my trust issues on everyone else." "And the truth is..." "the person that I don't trust is myself." "I keep..." "I haven't always made the right decision." "and when I realize that I made the wrong ones," "I'm too far gone to get myself out." "Lana, I don't know if Lex is the right guy for you or not," "I mean, he certainly wouldn't be my first choice but..." "he wouldn't even really be on my list." "You can't just sit safely by the water and watch all the happy people splashing around" "I mean, eventually you have to grow some fins and just dive in." "Oh my god !" "you scared the blank out of me." "I thought I was the only one that felt safe at here right now." "No !" "No, no, not, not safe." "Compelled." "By what ?" "A girl." "Uh..., the photo, you know, my hope, her respect..." "Well you have mine." "Since a girl made me drop a log..." "Look, is there any chance you've seen this weird vine that is fond on people ?" "Yeah I think I can help you find what you're looking for." "Uh... oh, I don't know it's uh..." "I don't know about... but..." "Well..., you know I already got a girl so..." "I don't wanna be your girl." "But what are you doing ?" "I just wanna wrap myself around you." "Ms, you cannot go in there !" "I'm sorry Mr. Queen this woman does not have an appointment." "It's ok." "She's expected." "I guess I really underestimated the mental powers of yoga." "Oh, I find the focus benefits my work." "...and apparently your premonitions." "After your lamentable blunder it was either this or got firing from your boss." "Right ?" "Although I must say, I- I didn't picture the fruit basket." "Yes Mr. Queen," "I surmise that you very busy with all your bendy stuff, so I'll be very short." "Peanuts ?" "I'm allergic." "I'll try to remember that." "Look, Martha Kent is a sterling senator and uh, I would be devastated if... childhood bobbing trauma ?" "You hungry ?" "No, ok." "Look, I realize that I was very rude the other day, and I'm just trying to apologize." "And if you hold this against Martha Kent, it will be you who is missing out an opportunity of doing good work with a great woman." "Great... huh, I guess I was prematurely accurate on my opinion on you." "Miss Lane !" "If you want my full undivided attention why don't you come with me to Lex Luthor's ball ?" "Well, I'm sure downsizing me for an entire evening would make great sport ?" "I think I'll pass." "If Martha Kent is amazing as you say she is, this gonna take a lot more than a few minutes of groveling to convince me that she's worthy my support." "I don't have a costume." "You don't have a costume." "Great !" "That's telepathy." "Here we go." "Ok." "Even on my size." "Mr. Queen, have you been rummaging through my doors ?" "Well I've got a good eye for sizing people up." "So you were right, The pods inside his stomach are seeds." "He's going to surgery in an hour." "Anything from your professor friend ?" "He was unable to identify the species but he could write down the DNA and it's foreign... to the planet Earth." "Which explains why it could cut you." "It's alien ?" "How did it get here ?" "I don't know." "But while it can't gestate in our soil the chemistry of the human body creates a perfect potting mix" "Find his mother !" "I'm issuing code red." "My god !" "We need to stop it." "Not it Clark, her." "The plant's gynoecious, it has a sex: female." "Needed a male to reproduce, that's why the girlfriend was killed so quickly." "Coming through !" "Park Ranger of Long Pine, found this morning." "Excuse me !" "Have you guy can identify her ?" "I'm sorry it's been a mistake, that's not the Park Ranger." "Celine Adams, 28, went missing last week." "Only female ranger in the county." "Gloria..." "Your attention please !" "An emergency has been recorded inside the building." "All employees *** immediately proceed to the *** for further instructions." "*** areas that require evacuation." "All visitors, contractors and non employees of the hospital must to proceed towards the exit and left the building at this time." "All patients are urged to remain in place to wait for further instructions." "More assistance by possibly..." "Gloria !" "I was hoping we'd meet again." "What are you ?" "I'm just a girl who loves nature." "You're not human." "You're not even from this planet." "No." "But I think I'm gonna like it here." "Wherever you from go back !" "Now !" "I can't." "My world is gone." "It was paradise." "It was lush and green and full of life." "But towers have still replaced the forest." "Upsetting the balance of nature." "So I tried to correct it." "To cost of how many lives ?" "They didn't understand me either." "They branded me a criminal." "They imprison me in a dusted wasteland where the sun never set nothing ever grows." "The Phantom Zone." "I knew I had seen you before." "You're the Kryptonian that opened the gateway." "How do you know that ?" "Because I was there." "The savages were attacking a girl." "Raya." "And you touched the gateway and all went white." "Looks like I'm not the only one that doesn't belong." "You could have learned to adapt like I did." "What do you think I'm doing ?" "There's a party nearby full of eligible suitors waiting for me to spread my beauty." "Can you smell them ?" "You have to stop !" "Say's who ?" "I can't change my nature." "And no one else will ever make me again." "Welcome to the first annual benefit ball for the victims of Dark Thursday." "On behalf of Lex Luthor, we'd like to thank everybody for reaching on your pocket and support the families affected by that disaster." "You guys rock." "Music:" "~ The All-American Rejects" " It Ends Tonight ~" "I'm glad you came." "So am I." "I thought I might have frightened you all." "You'll have to come up with better scare tactics." "So is this part of you sizing me up ?" "No, Ms. Lane, honestly, that was a miscalculation." "Well, that would be my polite comment on your choice of legwear for this evening." "You have a quick tongue." "I find that very attractive." "Well, keep it in your quiver, jolly green bandit." "So is your fortune the do-it-yourself, steal from the rich kind, or is it silver plated like our host's ?" "It belonged to my parents." "And I uh..." "I inherited... when they died." "Well I wasn't going to give it to you, but the tights, you totally pulling it off." "And you should see him in a tutu." "Lex Luthor." "And a girl that he doesn't have to inflate." "Lana Lane, Oliver Queen." "We went to uh, boarding school together." "Talked to any of the old gang lately ?" "Enjoy the party." "I always do." "If that's a friend, I'd hate to see an enemy." "Senator Kent !" "Hi, I've been looking all over for you." "I would like you to meet Oliver Queen." "Mr. Queen, it's nice to finally meet you." "The pleasure's all mine." "So Lois is been tell me about your policy points." "We should get together and talk about how I can help you." "Oh, I'm looking forward to that." "Thank you." "Thank Lois." "She can be very persuasive." "Clark !" "Clark I can't find on my own !" "You've to help me !" "Where are you ?" "!" "Clark !" "Chloe !" "Chloe !" "Oh my god !" "Clark !" "Come on Clark !" "Come back !" "This girl can't lose you twice in a month." "You ok ?" "It will be in a second." "How do you kill it ?" "Biology one-o-one." "Electricity denatures enzymes." " We have to help Jimmy in there." " Jimmy !" " It's over there." " Go find him !" "Gloria's headed to the mansion." "Go !" "I'll get help for Jimmy." "Go !" "So Tarzan and Park Rangers both love the wild and swinging on vines." "Ride is over !" "Hmm, who the hell are you ?" "The gardener." "Get out !" "Kryptonians !" "Always so hard and cold." "You can't go home, I can't let you stay !" "What are we gonna do ?" "Perhaps we'll have nature decide." "You saved me from the Phantom Zone, Clark." "I'm sorry it has to be this way." "There are seedpods inside him that can only be killed with electricity." "You're insane !" "No please !" "Listen to me !" "You have to defibrillate him or he will die." "The guy is not a cardiac arrest, We will not D-fib !" "Now back off !" "Hey !" "What are you doing ?" "!" "Back off !" "They're hot." "Please, do not kill him." "Did you just paddle me ?" "Yeah." "Music:" "~ James Carrington" " Ache ~" "I have enjoyed courting you against your will this evening." "Hmm, only because I let you." "I'd like to kiss you now." "Hmm, you know... the lady requires a show of skill before rewarding you with a favor." "Which is actually where I was going with the kiss." "Let's make it interesting." "Hit that can with your arrow." "And I'm yours." "Is that easy huh ?" "Is that hard." "I'm gonna go for it." "Al right." "Here goes nothing." "Better luck next time, Hood." "This is definitely a night of firsts." "How's that ?" "Well, it's the first time I've ever danced to my extremely pretentious fountain." "and it's the first time I've ever felt this" ""satisfied."" "I was half expecting the word "happy" to come out of your mouth." "Ah." "Happiness is just a feeling of euphoria." "It's your brain chemistry going in an overdrive." "That's why so many relationships fail when honeymoon ends and reality sense in." "Wow !" "Have you always been such a romantic ?" "Ok !" "To any other woman I would saying everything you expect to hear right now but you're not." "Ok, you're not like anyone else." "Uh..." "Careful, because I'm dangerously close to being satisfied." "Then my evil plan is working." "So, what made you change your mind about gracing my arm tonight ?" "Life." "Wanting to live it." "What' you doin' ?"
