All language subtitles for Lois and Clark - 03x05 - Just Say Noah

- What are you doing here?
- Seeing a movie with Jimmy.

I think it's oddly coincidental
that out of all the movies playing...

...in all the movie theaters, we end
up at the same one at the same time.

I think that it shows how we have
the same tastes.

- I walked out.
- So did I. Jimmy loved it.

I walked out because the plot was just
warmed-over Bambi...

...without the political subtext. You?

I fell asleep. What difference
does it make why I walked out?

Because I think it shows how we look
at the same thing differently.

I think we're completely in sync.

Yeah. We're so in sync that when
you broke up with me for my own good...

...you figured I'd probably know it was
for the best because we're so in sync.

We're about as in sync as the English
in a Japanese horror film.

Lois, I was wrong and I admitted it.
You can't stay mad.

Yes, I can. You can fly,
I can stay mad. It's a gift.

Hi, Lois.

Michelle. Clark, meet Michelle
and Arnold Sitkowitz, my neighbors.

You make an adorable couple. I hope
you'll be as happy as Arnold and me.

Ten years and never a cross word.

- Well, it's getting late.
- Yeah.

See you tomorrow.

Nice meeting you.

Ten years.

Arnold and Michelle Sitkowitz.

Where did that come from?

Look, Arnold, a burning bush.

Do not be afraid. You have been chosen.

Chosen for what?

- You do have an alibi for last night?
- Alibi? Why do I need an alibi?

That lady. With the cop.
Michelle Sitkowitz's sister, Louise.

She lives across town. The Sitkowitzes
were supposed to be there last night.

They play poker every Thursday.

Is there anything in this building
you don't find out about?

No. Anyway, Arnold and Michelle
never made it.

Maybe they went someplace else
last night.

Louise and Michelle are close.
Michelle would've called.

- Excuse me.
- Anyway, Louise got worried...

...so she came over here last night,
and the Sitkowitzes never came home.

What?

That's right. Vanished.

That's so weird.
I just introduced them to Clark.

Happiest couple I have ever met
besides you and Clark...

...from time to time.

- I hope Louise doesn't mind me butting in.
- What can you do?

I'm a reporter.
I can make some noise about this.

People disappear in this city
all the time and nobody seems to care.

I'm not gonna let that happen
to Arnold and Michelle.

I've unpacked some brownies for now
and I'm putting the rest in the freezer.

And my homemade applesauce
is in the fridge.

Mom, every time you guys visit me,
you bring me enough food for the winter.

Well, it's what we do, honey.

Care for our boy with his favorite food,
good advice and unconditional support.

No big deal.

I wish the rest of the world
worked that way.

I mean, a guy makes one,
admittedly big, mistake and bam.

The door slams closed in his face and the
Supreme Court isn't hearing any appeals.

Trouble with Lois?

Remember that great idea I had...

...about breaking up with Lois because
being close to me put her at risk?

Yeah, we were afraid
that wouldn't sit too well.

I mean, don't you think she's making
a mountain out of a molehill here?

Frankly, Clark, I have to go with Lois
on this one.

- Dad?
- I have to go with your mother.

It's not supposed to work like this.
You guys are my parents. Side with me.

We do take your side,
in the big picture.

We want you to be happy,
and Lois makes you happy.

Unless you make her unhappy
and then she makes you unhappy...

...and that makes us unhappy.

Son...

...love and marriage are a partnership.

Both people are equal in that partnership.

Bottom line,
they make their decisions together.

What are you saying, I should go
crawling back on my hands and knees?

No, honey. Fly back. It's faster.

Chief, I really do wanna devote some time
to the Sitkowitz disappearance.

So you said, Lois, and I'm sure
your neighbors are lovely people...

- ...but it's not exactly hard news.
- I think it is.

Out of the 531 people missing
last year...

...do you realize that a large percentage
of them are married couples?

You're reaching, Lois.

Oh, man, Larry Smiley.

Well, howdy, howdy, howdy.

- And welcome to all you...
- Larry Smiley?

Isn't he the guy that runs that place,
the Institute of Love and Dependence?

Commitment. Love and Commitment.
This man's a visionary.

Alice and I went on his retreat.
Sure opened our eyes.

...basic steps that I learned
at the knee of my beloved mama...

...who made her marriage
a true romance.

Sit back and listen to my guests,
and they'll tell you the straight poop.

Michelle and Arnold, howdy.

That's them. That's Michelle and Arnold.

Well, she told me she taped something
last month, I had no idea it was this.

I was hoping that you might share
with us how my principles...

...on equal. Opportunity lovingness
have affected your life.

Well, Larry, Arnold and I always thought
we had the perfect marriage.

Ten years and never a cross word.

But thanks to your lessons of sharing
and unity, we are unified in our sharing.

- Sounds like they really believe in this guy.
- Yeah. Yeah.

You know, without Larry,
my marriage would've been a shutout.

As it is, we're heading into extra innings.

Morning, Chief. Lois.

- Listen, I can come back.
- No, no, no. Just a minute.

I've been meaning to talk to you two.

Now, I can't help but notice the chill
going on between you two.

If you need a friendly ear to bend, I'm it.

But just don't let whatever it is
hurt your work.

- Okay?
- Chief, I think Clark and I...

...are both professional enough
to behave...

- ...professionally.
- Good, because partners need to know...

- ...they can count on each other.
- Superman! Help!

Cover for each other.

Gee, would you look at the time.
I gotta go get...

Chunko chocolate monster chip
ice cream.

Go, before they sell out.

You know, that boy will walk on water
for you. Or he'd drown trying.

Here you go.

- Hi. Where you off to?
- The interview.

- What interview?
- Didn't I tell you?

You're hardly speaking to me. This is one
of those things you hardly spoke about.

I wanna talk to the friends and family
of the missing couples...

...see if we can find any common links.
I'm due at Emerson's Cafe at noon.

Lois, I'm kind of busy. Excuse me.

- Isn't he something?
- Yeah.

Thanks to him, the sisters and I...

...will still be able to bring our toy
collection to the orphanage.

Superman is a national treasure.

You know, it's just wonderful being
angry at a national treasure.

Lois, I can't help it. People like me.
I help them.

- You used to like me.
- I still like you.

I'm just upset. Even though it's
your fault, I feel like it's mine.

Good old Clark, good old Superman,
crabby old Lois.

And even if I could tell someone,
which I can't...

...they'd still think you were
the good guy and I was the bad.

Can you hang on?

Sisters, look! He's saving the toys
from being scorched.

Of course.

Bless you.

I'm sorry, you were saying?

Nothing. I'm gonna be a professional
and go to the interview...

...and internalize my feelings
so I get an ulcer the size of Cleveland.

Women.

Earth women.

I guess you didn't have
any trouble parking.

- Mr. Hansen...
- Lois Lane.

Good to meet you.

Mr. Hansen here says that his brother
and sister-in-law vanished last month.

They were struggling artists, married
a year. They moved here from Dayton.

So they had nothing in common
with the Sitkowitzes.

They didn't by chance have a wonderful,
seemingly perfect marriage, did they?

- No, not at all.
- It was worth a shot.

In fact, until two months ago Inga spoke
of divorce and moving back to Dayton.

What changed her mind?

- A place called the Larry Smiley Institute.
- For Love and Commitment?

- They went there?
- They said that this Smiley fellow...

...restored their relationship.

He rebuilt their trust in each other
and promised them a hopeful future.

And then they disappeared.

What is this?
What do you want with us?

Oh, no. Oh, my God.

Michelle!

Hi.

Come see these.

Got hold of a group photo...

...of the Sitkowitzes at the Institute
and the Hansens with their group.

I had the computer narrow
missing persons...

...for the past two years
down to missing married couples.

If we cross-reference the names on
these pictures with missing couples...

...maybe we can find some matches.

Is this the kind of conversation
we're gonna have from now on?

- I'll go cross-reference these.
- Lois. Here.

Four matches.

From these two photos, four couples
have vanished in the past two years.

Who knows how many have disappeared
from the Institute.

- I mean, Perry, you might even be at risk.
- Come on, now, Lois.

If there was something sinister, you
don't think a news hound like myself...

- ...wouldn't sense it?
- Maybe it's really well hidden, Chief.

Yeah. Yeah. Possibly.

Anyway, if you wanted to nose around,
it would have to be kind of...

...an undercover, sniff-it-out
type of thing.

- That's not what I was getting at.
- You know, as a matter of fact...

...I could make arrangements for you
to go on retreat as a married couple.

Oh no. No, no.
That's just not a good idea.

- Not at this time, Chief.
- Why? Surely not for personal reasons.

Because you both said nothing would
stand in the way of your professionalism.

No. No.

No. No.
Just don't think it's a good idea.

Okay.
Well, your sentiments are duly noted.

Don't you guys think
you should get out of here and pack?

Each of our guests goes by the name
of an animal species...

...symbolic of the primal urge to mate
and further the species.

Larry wants two of every kind.

You guys will be known as the Hawks.
They mate for life.

- What were the Sitkowitzes called?
- The Badgers.

Here we are. I'll just jot your name here
on the doorway and we'll be on our way.

- Nope.
- What?

We don't like this cabin.

We don't?

Honey, it faces east. The winds are
from the south. You know how you get.

Yes. I get ugly. Really ugly.

Okay. This way.

Sir, I'm running out of cabins.

Perhaps this one will do.

Yes. This will be just fine.
Won't it, pumpkin?

Yep. Fine.

Fine.

Enjoy your stay.

Hope things work out.

Okay, what was that all about?

You said the Sitkowitzes
were the Badgers, right?

Well...

- This was their cabin?
- I thought it might be useful.

- Lois, your dress.
- That's okay. I'll change.

So this is where they slept.

Arnold probably sat right in that chair,
happy he came here.

Michelle probably sat at this desk...

...scared of something,
writing her sister.

Boy, this wood is so soft.
You can see years of imprints of writing.

Hey, Clark.

Do you think that you could lift out
Michelle's handwriting from the others?

You know, using your vision gizmo?

Lois, "vision gizmo...

...doesn't sound particularly cool,
you know. Yeah.

- Got it. This is where she wrote it.
- Anything else?

She said in the letter
Smiley scared her.

There's one other thing.
"Kathy, 4:30, meditation tree."

Who's Kathy?

Male and Female Hawk? Your bags.

- Good, I gotta change. Thanks.
- Larry Smiley's waiting.

- The first session's starting now.
- Wait a minute. Where's my suitcase?

Where's my suitcase?

Harmonicity. Well, you can put away
your Funk & Wagnalls, folks.

That ain't English.
It's what I call a Larryism.

Harmonicity is a blend, if you will,
of complementary desires.

And as my dear mama would say,
that's exactly what Mother Nature...

...intended for marriage to be.

Now, how about it, folks?
We got harmonicity?

Yeah.

Heck, then, let's all take hands.
Smile on yourselves.

Mama, I can feel it. I feel
the harmony. I feel the love.

It's not like I did it on purpose.

- My bag was there, right on the stoop.
- I thought you put it in the car.

You know, maybe subconsciously
you have some need to...

- Hi.
- Male and Female Hawk.

And not a moment too soon.

No, no, no, stay standing.
Let's get right to work.

You know,
around here we speak bluntspeak.

And that is a what?

- Larryism.
- Right you are, Female Lemur.

And bluntly speaking,
you two have got to stop dressing alike.

Look at yourself, honey.
Do you hate your feminine side?

- What? No.
- No, she's very feminine.

Now, see, this is what
I call the "echo pattern."

She says something,
you just gotta chime in.

That the way it works?

- No.
- Of course not.

Son, don't allow this.

You gotta sing your own song.
It takes two tones for...

Harmonicity.

Harmonicity.

Please be seated.

Let's all close our eyes...

...and go to that safe place
where we find our own pure tone.

It's a really great group this week.
They're really catching on.

- It's Kathy.
- Larry.

Larry, Female Hawk is whispering.

Female Hawk, you are riding on a horse
called domination and you won't get off.

Does she need a time-out?

Yes!

Step outside, Female Hawk. Don't you
return until you're singing with the choir.

Really?

Do I have to?

Shucks.

You know something?
You got a tiger by the tail there, boy.

Tell me about it.

Kathy?

- Hi, Female Hawk.
- Hi.

We're having a great time.
Some friends of ours recommended it.

Arnold and Michelle Sitkowitz.
Wonderful people.

- Ever get a chance to talk to them?
- No, never. I don't know them.

Are you sure?
Because I thought they mentioned you.

No, I don't know them.

Fire.

Symbol of light
where there was darkness.

Warmth where there was cold.

And most assuredly,
purification of the impure.

You hear that, Kathy?

Betraying my trust
would be an awfully impure thing to do.

- Larry, I'd never betray your trust.
- Wouldn't you, honey?

You real sure about that?

You mess with fire,
you're gonna get burned.

Hear that? The phone.

Hello.

Yes, sir, boss. Smiley here.
You don't say. I know you're busy, sir.

Yeah, say hi to everyone for me.
And bless you too, sir.

Yep. Yep, that was God, everybody.
And God has news.

Seems everybody in heaven
is talking about us.

Everybody in heaven is saying
that them Smiley people...

...are gonna be the rulers
of the New Dawn.

That's what I promised you, isn't it?

Yes.

A place by my side in a better world.

Boys and girls, a new day is at hand.
The countdown has begun.

Darling, did you hear?
We're almost there.

The New Dawn.
Meet you for bacon and eggs.

Jimmy, if the photos don't come,
tell them to lock down the front page...

...and roll them.

Oh, brother, where is she?

- I thought you hated the symphony.
- I do, Jimmy.

That's why I'm standing here
in a monkey suit...

...waiting for my wife,
who loves the symphony.

And with whom I am on very thin ice.

So I can plunk down
a thousand smackers...

...for bad seats on charity opening night.

Now, son, when you get married,
this will all make perfect sense.

Right.

- Hi, dumpling.
- Hello, Mrs. White.

- Chief, I'm gonna stay till we roll.
- Okay, bud. Thank you.

Judas priest.
What the sam hill's going on here?

Alice?

Jimmy!

Scared to death.

I just mentioned the Sitkowitz name,
Kathy turned white as a ghost.

Well, I scanned the whole area.
There's no sight or sound of them.

So either they're not here
or they're in a lead-lined room.

Or they're dead.

- This is not a bed.
- No, this is a bed.

- Actually, it's a very large bed.
- This is business.

Yeah.

You think I can't handle this?
I can. I can handle this just fine.

Your life is so strange.

And getting stranger by the minute.

Lois, flying for me is a piece of cake.
I've been doing it since high school.

What happens if I screw up?
Lose a little altitude?

But being in a relationship...

...it's completely new.

If I blow this...

...I lose everything.

Clark, I'm not actually as good
at romance as I look.

Really?

I mean,
my life's basically been about work.

I'm just trying to figure this out
like you are.

So we'll help each other.

- I don't always respond appropriately.
- Neither do I.

And I don't always know
how to express how I feel.

And I get tongue-tied sometimes.

But I do know you broke my heart.

And you just have to let me work
that out.

You can't expect me
to just snap out of it.

I will.

And I don't.

- Good night, Lois.
- Good night, Clark.

What are you doing?

- Can you please get off of me.
- I would if you'd just hold still.

Hey, pal, been there.

- It was an accident.
- Falling from floating?

- That's not possible.
- I guess you're better at it than I am?

All right. All right. I got scared.

Let's just calm down.

It's okay. It's just a rock.

You know, I sleep like a baby
in Metropolis.

What is so relaxing
about the stupid mountains?

It says, "Meet me at the meditation tree
tomorrow at midnight."

Signed, "Guess Who."

If this is some pathetic bid for notoriety,
let me just tell you something right now.

The Daily Planet does not deal
with kidnappers.

Greetings, Male Wombat. Things okay
with you and Female Wombat?

Yeah. Sure. Larry...

...where's Alice?

Is this some kind of a spot
progress check or something?

Because let me tell you,
you've taken years off my life here.

You'll gain them all back
in the New Dawn.

- The new what?
- It's where we're all going.

All the most promising graduates...

...of the Larry Smiley Institute
for Love and Commitment.

I got me two of every kind.

Farmers, doctors, lawyers and you.

Why, you of all people
should see where I'm heading.

Yeah. A little quiet room
with rubber on the walls.

- Don't rile me, I'll leave you to drown.
- Drown?

Didn't I mention? I'm flooding the earth.

Well. Okay.

I'll just grab Alice and be on my way.
Thanks, man. I appreciate...

God has made it real clear
what I gotta do.

Start over.

Get rid of everyone...

...except for the chosen, of course.

Larry, Larry, stay with me, now.

You can't flood the earth.
It's not possible, Larry.

One of the advantages of healing
the famous and the accomplished...

...is that the little devils are capable
of building the doggonest contraptions.

Behold, the Aquaplus 1000 storm maker.

Neat?

Damn it, man. Where's Alice?
I wanna see her, please.

Oh, my gosh.
What have you done to her, man?

Suspended animation.

Her life signs are hovering
just above death.

But, like all the others, she'll be revived
as soon as the waters recede...

...and the New Dawn breaks.

Clark?

My, you're really racking up
the frequent-flier miles.

- That was sweet.
- I know.

Group time. Ready? Superman.

Female Hawk, you know Superman?

Well, yeah, kind of.
We have the same dentist.

Clark? Clark? You gonna be out
of the shower soon? Superman's leaving.

You know what would be so great?
Superman could join our session.

- Superman's here?
- So many people here could benefit...

...from your fairness and wisdom.

- I have to get going. I'm very late.
- He's gotta get going.

Isn't your job to help people in need?

I just want Brian to make me
feel validated, is all.

You want validation,
go to a parking lot.

This is the same argument
we've been having for weeks.

I take a job for more money
and better benefits...

...and she complains
because we didn't discuss it.

The job is in Tibet.

All I am saying is we should've
talked this through.

- I hear you there.
- Female Hawk, must you?

Sorry.

- She is a challenge.
- Okay, so maybe I was rash.

I said I was sorry.
I only had our best interest at heart.

It's none of my business. Sorry.

Superman, what do you think?

Well, I'm no expert.

But if you really care about someone
and they make a mistake...

...because they're only human, after all,
then they sincerely apologize...

...I think you forgive them.

A mistake's one thing,
but this is a whole attitude.

Just because somebody says
"I love you...

...it doesn't put them in charge
of your whole life.

True. But saying "I love you" does mean
that I would never hurt you on purpose.

And maybe I'll make more mistakes
along the way, just as you will.

But we'll learn from them and move on.

Hear, hear.

Son, you pack a lot of horse sense
in them tight britches.

Thank you. I really do have to go.
You guys keep up the good work.

- Finally got the poison oak under control.
- You missed it.

He was wonderful.

What did you think?

I thought
he made some interesting points.

You know, I don't think
this group-therapy stuff is so bad.

I thought the wild applause
was a bit excessive.

And you're convinced
this note's from Kathy?

Yeah. I think she wanted to tell us what
she never got to tell Michelle Sitkowitz.

Unless it's a hoax. Or a trap.

Maybe she just got...

...cold feet.

Oh, boy.

Lois, it's Kathy.

She's dead.

Well, I always knew that little girl
had troubles.

Many's the time when her tears
washed down my shoulders.

But suicide?

Who would've ever thought it?

It's ancient. Torn from a book.

I can read a lot of languages, but...

It looks kind of like Hebrew,
but I can't make it out.

She must've had some reason
for wanting us to see it.

Which one of these books
you think it came from?

None of them. They're all too new.

There might be something
in that next room.

What next room?

Smiley must work in here.

There are files divided into piles marked
"accepted" and "rejected" candidates.

Candidates for what?

Clark, we're in the "rejected" pile.

Lois, don't you think
that's probably a good thing?

Well, I'd like to feel wanted.

Smiley says we're not compatible.
He says I don't trust or respect you...

...and he doesn't know
why you even put up with me.

- Lois, the guy's a murderer.
- Of course I trust you.

And I respect you more than
anyone else I've ever met.

And, you know, if I do get angry,
it's only because I've never opened up...

...to somebody so much
in my whole life, and it hurts me...

...when I feel like that trust
isn't returned.

And you put up with me
for the same reason I put up with you.

It's because I'm completely
in love with you.

And...

...I love you.

- Did we just make up?
- I think so.

Could we maybe do this someplace that's
not so musty and not owned by a killer?

I think I just found the book
that this page came from.

There. It's a perfect fit.
But probably a dead language.

We're gonna need an expert
to read this.

Well, we won't be able to find an expert
at 2:00 in the morning.

Star. You could take it to Star.

Star?

Anything?

Lois says you can call up voices from
the past, get them to speak through you.

Clark, honey.

I know you're real stressed
and you want this to work.

But you gotta do me a itty-bitty favor.

- Sure, anything. What?
- Shut up.

Come on, Clark. Where are you?

Well, come in. Why are you so late?
Jimmy.

I tried calling, but you're not
allowed calls. I climbed the fence.

What's wrong? What are you doing?

It's the Chief. The last time I saw him,
he went to a concert with Alice.

They never made it home,
and he didn't come to work.

Oh, God. I bet it was Smiley.

Okay, folks. Let's go. Let's go.

Your arm's too short to box with God.
We're on a schedule here.

One more box and let's go.

Smiley and those people
are abandoning camp.

Over here, guys. Over here.

Let's get that stuff unloaded.

All right, folks. Let's show some hustle.
The game is on.

Well, folks, this is it. Liftoff.
T minus zero. Anchors aweigh.

We only await the sign.

I hate waiting for the phone to ring,
don't you?

There it is.

Hello.

Yep, it's him.

Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
All systems are go, sir.

Well, thank you,
and Vaya con Dios to you too, sir.

It's gonna be a heck of a storm,
boys and girls.

Forty days and 40 nights.

The flood will wipe out all mankind but
for that which floats with us in the ark.

- Man, that's just like Waterworld.
- Only cheaper.

Darling, we're about to be joined
together once more.

Hello, Mama.

Boy, this guy's got real problems.

I am the citizen Landicus, philosopher
and prophet. Who seeketh me?

I do.

Seeker, eager for an exchange
of thought and prophesy?

Well, actually, no, citizen Landicus.

I wanted to know if you could read
this piece of paper.

Lois.

All right, look lively, folks.
Let's load them up.

Hold it, hold it, hold it.

Here's a candidate
who didn't make the cut.

Female Hawk, I distinctly recall
eliminating you from the New Dawn.

You're right. I'm sorry. I'm definitely
not worthy. Jimmy, let's just go.

I can see we're gonna have to do
a whole lot better job of eliminating.

The language is ancient.

Aramaic. It is a passage from
what you call the Dead Sea Scrolls.

"The end of all flesh
is come before me...

...and the earth is filled with violence
through them, and behold...

...I will destroy them from the earth.

They entered the Ark, male and female,
and the Lord shut them in...

- This is the story of Noah and his Ark?
- Verily.

Smiley's nabbing couples.
He said he wants two of every kind.

Oh, man, Smiley thinks he's Noah.

This storm is the daddy
of them all, folks.

I sure wouldn't wanna be anywhere near
a lightning rod. But then, that's just me.

- You don't think he can flood the earth?
- No, Jimmy.

It's this turning-us-into-toast thing
that's got me worried.

All right. Well, since this is it,
I'm gonna confess that...

Well, I used to have a little crush on you.
In fact, I had this dream...

and then you took my hand and said,
"Jimmy, I can make a man of you."

Thanks.

Lois, panic makes a man
say some strange things sometimes...

...and I was wondering if you could
sort of forget what I...

Trust me.

All right, Smiley. Shut it off.

You can't stop this.
This day has been foretold.

Only by you, Smiley.
And that's not enough.

No!

Just brilliant.
Now you've ruined everything.

That machine was the source
of all power in the New Dawn.

It was supposed to bring them back.
Now they'll all die.

- Michelle.
- Arnold.

- Olsen. Late edition? Get put to bed?
- Yeah, Chief, it did.

Alice? Alice, are you all right, honey?

Mama. Please forgive me.

Oh, Mama.

Lawrence,
you have been a very naughty boy.

Smiley had given up
on people finding happiness together.

I haven't.

Have you?

No.

But we keep messing up.
Why is that?

Well, first of all, people mess up.

And I think adjusting to the whole idea
of marriage, along with everything else...

...we've been going through,
is just making us both a little nuts.

- So?
- So...

...maybe we should just take a little break
from the whole idea of marriage.

Not even say the M word.

And just be in love.

I can do that.

It's a lot of pressure,
this "forever" thing.

It's not the M word
that makes it forever for me, Lois.

My love is forever because...

Because it just is.
