All language subtitles for Lois and Clark - 03x20 - A Small World After All

My high school reunion.
Where does the time go?

Listen, are you sure you wanna go
to this thing?

- Yeah, sure.
- It's just, I'd understand if you didn't.

- A bunch of people you don't know.
- Lois, you just got your memory back.

I just got you back.

I may never let you
out of my sight again.

- Would you look at you?
- Just my luck.

I wear polyester one day of my life
and it's captured on film for eternity.

Lois Lane, student-body president.
You got elected with that hair?

I was stuck in my Charlie's Angels phase.
Everybody was.

- Who's Joe Malloy?
- We should really get going.

"You're in my dreams
like a touchdown pass.

I can't help noticing
you've got a great...

Give me that.

I was also in my "dating the quarterback"
phase. It didn't last long.

I also noticed that you were voted
"Least Likely to Get Married...

And put up a picket fence.
I know, I know.

I was headstrong and independent,
and, by the way...

...also vowed not to get married
until after that first Pulitzer.

- Well, what changed?
- I met you.

- Come on.
- Okay.

And our spirits will soar
As we hear our mighty roar

The Lion is king of all the rest

We will kill them, we will beat them
Yeah, the Lions will defeat them

Go, all you Lions, go

I've been waiting for this moment
for years.

I am beautiful, I'm successful...

...and I was never asked to a dance.

Never, ever...

...ever!

Well, I won't be the wallflower
at this dance, will I?

I said, will I?

- No. No.
- No. No.

That sounded so sincere.

Must you be so small?

Tasteless question.

My darling little Debbie, you miss Joe?

He never had any time for me
in high school.

Well, he'll have time for me tonight.

And Les, I'll comfort Peggy.

She's probably been crying and crying
since you've been gone...

...which will just wreck
those perfect features.

Well, I'm off.

Tonight I'll be the belle of the ball...

...while Lois Lane's world
is gonna get awfully small.

Well, I never asked you.

In situations like this,
are you a mingler or a clinger?

- What?
- A mingler or a clinger?

Do you hang on the hip all night
or do you like to split up and circulate?

Lo-Lo!

- Excuse me.
- Lo-Lo?

It's what my good friends
called me in high school.

- Oh, Lois.
- Smile, please. Thank you.

You look wonderful as always.

- Annette Westman.
- Hi. I'm Clark Kent, Lo-Lo's fiance.

- You must've been one of her friends.
- No, we barely spoke. Right, Lo-Lo?

Well... well, we...
You know, we did...

- You look great.
- Really?

Like I'm ready for the prom?

Not that I would know.
I never actually went to a prom.

- Lo-Lo!
- Hey, it's Lois.

Julie! Clark,
I really want you to meet Julie.

- Annette, why don't we all go over...
- No, you go on.

Run off to Julie, just like the old days.

Julie, hi. Hi, Dick.

Julie, this is my fiance, Clark Kent.
Clark, Dick. Dick, Clark.

Hans, get in here.

- Ja, madam?
- Time to go to work.

I will be the center of attention
at this stupid event.

Ja, madam.

I will get into position,
but do not release it until my signal.

Ja, madam.

Oh, God, there's Joe Malloy.

The quarterback?

He is so unhappy.

His wife vanished just a few weeks ago.

You're kidding.
Do the police have any leads?

Well, the case is still open,
but it doesn't look good.

- Joe. Joe. Joe.
- Hi, Annette.

Smile, please.

- Thank you.
- I'm so sorry. I just heard. What can I do?

It's just good to see you, Lo-Lo.
I wasn't gonna come tonight...

...but it's good to be around old friends.
Annette has been such a rock.

You just buck up, big guy.

You two have been close
since high school?

Not really, but she's come around
at just the right time...

...and it's sweet, her being so busy
with her big cosmetics company and all.

Westman Cosmetics?
You're that Westman?

Yes. Fortune 500,
New York Stock Exchange.

Things have changed a lot for me
since high school.

Excuse me, Annette,
I just wanna talk to Lois for a sec.

So, what did the police say
about Debbie?

Just that there's no evidence
of foul play.

Who's that guy you're with?

Oh, Clark. He's my fiance.

Hang on to him, Lois.
You don't see it coming till they're gone.

Debbie and me, we had our problems,
but I never thought she'd leave.

Must be something about being 30.
Same thing happened to Peggy.

Peggy, our friend? Peggy Barrish?

Yeah. Her husband, Les, gone.
No note. No nothing.

She's all torn up about it.

That must be why
she's not here tonight.

Ready? Just wait for my signal.

You're gonna drop the disco ball
and it'll just barely miss me.

If that doesn't make me the center
of attention, I don't know what will.

Fortunes! Fortunes! I see all.

Mrs. Pomerantz, you taught P.E.

The ball will miss me by a foot. The room
will go wild with sympathy and concern.

Look. I definitely see a little Kent
in your future.

Now let's see.
It looks like a very healthy one.

Get out of the way, Lois.

Hold it. Just wait.

Not yet. Not yet.

Wait till I say go.

No.

Wait till I say go.

Wait till I say go.

Guys.

Thanks.

Fabulous. As if she never got
enough attention.

You idiot.

Superman. Where did you...?

Well, I'm always sort of nearby.

Lois and I are...

...friends.

Well, Lois, you're happy now...

...but all that's about to change.

Lois, I know you want that Pulitzer, I just
don't think that this reunion story is it.

Clark, two of my high school
classmates' spouses...

...have disappeared in the past
few weeks without a trace.

- Do you know the divorce rate?
- I know these people...

...and they're just not
the vanish-without-a-trace type.

Don't fight it, Clark.

When the pit bull gets hold of a bone...

- ...it won't let go.
- Tell me about it.

There's a connection between
some no-shows at my reunion.

- Why do you think that?
- They weren't there.

- How are they connected?
- They weren't there.

- Why weren't they there?
- I don't know. They weren't there.

Boy, that's a story
just crying out to be told.

Jimmy!

Chief, are those cowboy boots
you're wearing?

Yeah. Sally, you know,
that gal I've been going out with...

...she's big into
the country-western stuff.

In fact, we've been going line dancing.
Yeah. Watch this.

You just keep track of your toe and
your heel, and your heel and your toe...

...and your toe and your heel,
and your heel...

Hey, what is this?

Don't you city folks have stories
to write? Let's go.

Lois, here's a little present for you.

You're gonna need it sooner or later.

- Thanks, Chief.
- You called, my queen?

Yeah. Be a prince.
Run the names of my senior class.

See if any of their spouses show up
on missing-persons lists.

And try and get me
a phone number for Peggy Barrish.

Peggy Barrish?

The model Peggy Barrish?

The one that does the lingerie ads?
The legs, the stockings?

Her husband, Les, is missing.

That's terrible.

Garter belts.

"Lois Kent."

"Lois Kent."

Just the first time
I've ever seen those two names...

Put together like that.

You can't even drop something right.

I was supposed to get the sympathy,
not Lo-Lo.

Lo-Lo and Clark. Lo-Lo and Superman.
Lo-Lo and the football team.

Whatever Lo-Lo wants, Lo-Lo gets.
Well, not for long.

Annette, please!

If it's ransom you're after,
Peggy and I will pay it.

Oh, God, I hate it when tiny people beg.

I don't want ransom.

I want Peggy, stressed out,
getting uglier by the minute...

...to accept my friendship and tell me
daily how miserable and lonely she is.

Just like your Joe does, Debbie.

Cheer up, doll.
Soon you'll be joined by two others.

And this lovely stuff here
is what does the trick.

Hans!

Deliver these packages posthaste.

Help yourself, baby.

"For the man in love."

"This shampoo,
specially formulated for a man's hair...

...will leave you feeling
as never before.

Does the love of your life notice
the little changes you make?

Would you like to draw her
a little closer?

Try this free sample and, little by little,
she'll see a whole new you."

Hey.

You didn't say goodbye.

I'm late, and you were in the shower.

You smell good.

- Bye.
- Bye.

Julie? Honey? I think I've...

I'm lost.

What the?

- Julie? Hey!
- Get in there, you.

Let me out of here.

Hey, who is that?

First Julie's husband
and now Clark Kent.

Hans! You can make that other pickup
in just a few minutes.

Wake up! You're gonna have company.

We interrupt this program
for a Metro News bulletin.

Hawaii's Kilauea volcano
has erupted...

...and lava flows are steadily making
their way toward villages in the area.

It has been reported thousands
are fleeing for their lives...

...from villages closest to the volcano
and in direct path of...

This just in.

Miraculously,
Superman has just appeared...

...and has diverted the lava flow
into the Pacific Ocean.

What appeared to be an unparalleled
disaster-in-the-making has been averted.

Local residents stand cheering and it
appears not a single home has been lost.

Thank you, Superman. We now return
to our regularly scheduled program.

- Sorry. Must be in the wrong apartment.
- Hey, hey, hang on a second.

The landlord ordered pest control.
Excuse, please.

Must check the work order. Huge rats.
No rats here. Okay. Well, okey-dokey.

Morning.

Morning. I've been trying to get ahold
of Peggy Barrish...

...the other person
whose spouse vanished? No luck.

You wouldn't believe what happened
to me this morning.

Actually, I heard about the volcano.
Nice work.

One latte, double-sugar-lumped, fat-full,
just the way you like it.

Thank you.
No, I just stepped out of the shower...

...and in walks this exterminator guy
looking for rats.

You're kidding. Did he see anything?

No. I was wearing a towel.

- Clark, listen.
- Yeah?

We've never really talked about this...

...but just how dead set are you
on me changing my last name to Kent?

- Well...
- Because it is my professional name.

Marrying you is a huge part of my life,
don't get me wrong...

...but, you know, so is this.

And I don't think I'll feel one bit less
married to you by holding onto a name...

...that has taken me, really,
years to establish.

You have tradition on your side...

...but I never understood
why women have to change.

They change their name,
their body when they have a baby...

- Lois.
- Yes?

Next time, decaf for you.

I just feel attached...

...both professionally and personally,
to "Lois Lane."

- Me too.
- You too what?

I'm attached to Lois Lane.

I fell in love with her, I admire her...

...I depend on her.

I'm not asking for any changes, am I?

No.

If something is important to you,
then it's important to me.

We're in this together.

Guys?

Nice timing.

I ran those names
from your senior class.

None reported any missing persons
except the ones you said.

Who both happen to be
friends of yours.

Yeah. It's weird?

Joe? Joe, are you okay?

This dang machine.
There's a bar in there.

They say it's empty, but it's not.
I need that bar.

Honey, it's okay.

- You got it.
- Yeah.

Hi, Joe. I'm Clark Kent, Lois's fiance.

Hi. I'm sorry to bother you guys.

I was just hoping that maybe you had
some information about my Debbie...

...or even about Peggy's husband, Les.
This thing is such a mess.

Yeah. Come on, let's go talk about it.

I am so happy you cheap consumers
used your free shampoo.

Make room for little Richard.

There's something I need to tell you...

Hans, when madam
is savoring her triumphs...

- ...madam does not wish to be disturbed.
- Ja, madam.

There you go.

Dick?

Oh, man. Les, Debbie.
So this is where you disappeared to.

All right, break up the coffee klatch.

You, Dick. For God's sake, get into that
closet and put on something humiliating.

Hans, the last bag.

Madam, please, I...

Our final guest
is the recently engaged Clark Kent.

Hans, you will perhaps note
the bag is empty.

- Ja, madam.
- Tell me he used the shampoo.

I'm sure he did, but...

Quit muttering, you overgrown tumor!

Where is Clark? Where is he?
Where is he? Where is he?

The shampoo failed.

The shampoo didn't fail.

I don't fail.

I gave up failing.

If anyone here failed,
who would it have been?

- Me.
- I want Lois's nightmare to begin.

Find out what happened.

So other than being high school friends,
nothing links you and the other victims.

When we graduated,
everyone just kind of scattered.

How's Peggy?
I've been trying to reach her.

Completely shattered.
She and Les were so happy.

It seemed like they had it all.

But I guess that's what they said
about all of us in school.

Yeah. Peggy was the homecoming queen
and Julie was the head cheerleader.

And Joe was the quarterback.

That's what you had in common.
You were big deals in high school.

I gotta go. I got a lunch appointment.
I don't wanna keep her waiting. Thanks.

Sure. We're gonna figure
this thing out, Joe.

That's great perfume.
Reminds me of Debbie.

I'm not wearing any.

I'm sorry, it's you.
Well, I'll see you.

You do smell good. New cologne?

I'm not wearing cologne.

You're getting a little sloppy
in your rushes to save the day.

Clark, your glasses.

Did she say what it was?
Okay, thanks.

Jimmy said Julie's been trying
to reach me, that it's urgent.

Are we Cajun-cooking again?

I bought a nice bottle of wine that'll
go great with the blackened lasagna.

It's starting.

This is insane.

I got Julie's machine. Who leaves
an urgent message and then goes out?

I hope she's okay...

This shirt seems all stretched out.

Not that I'm all that domestic,
but do shirts stretch?

Maybe I need to find another cleaners.

Clark, either your clothes are growing
or you're...

- What's happening to you?
- Something really strange.

I mean, I know what's happening,
I just don't understand how or why.

- Has this happened before?
- First I noticed, it was Monday.

This started yesterday and you didn't
tell me? What were you thinking?

I was thinking,
"Don't tell Lois. She'll only be upset."

I wanted to get some facts straight,
figure out what was happening to me.

To us. Whatever happens to you
or me happens to us.

Didn't you just get through saying
we're in this together?

And we'll get through this together.

Well, your powers
are functioning normally.

But you've experienced a loss
in height and body mass.

It's okay, doc. It's okay.

But the suit seems to fit
as snugly as ever.

That's the aura effect.

Anything within a tenth of a millimeter
is essentially a second skin.

What's happening might be the result
of living on the Earth under a yellow sun.

Perhaps your molecular structure can only
tolerate a yellow sun for a finite period...

- ...before it breaks down.
- What can we do?

Well, let's not panic.
It may be reversible.

I can't tell you anything definitive
till the test results come back.

And if it can't be reversed?

- Well...
- It's okay, doc.

You can tell me. You can be blunt.

Think of yourself as a snowman.

As a snowman melts, it has less and less
to protect it from the effects of the sun.

Before you know it, you're nothing more
than a puddle with a corncob pipe.

Too blunt. Too blunt. I knew it.

You can see why
I don't do clinical work.

Lois, where's Clark?

Well, I'm sure he'll show up.

When the rooster crows,
I want everyone off their keister...

...out of the bunkhouse
and pulling their own weight.

All right, you little dogies,
roll them out.

He's going through
an urban-cowboy stage.

Dick did too.

I gave him such a hard time.

God, I'd love to see him again,
even in those stupid boots.

I'm so sorry. If I'd gotten ahold of you
last night, I would have come over.

Are you sure you didn't see
anything unusual in the house at all?

Just that nothing was touched.
Even all his clothes are still there.

And I don't know
if it means anything...

...but a neighbor saw
an exterminator truck near the house.

An exterminator?

Clark had an exterminator
in his place too.

Did they say the name of the company?

What did she say? Snoil. That's it.

S-N-O-I-L.

- Lois Lane.
- Free for lunch?

Annette?

No, I can't have lunch.
I'm sitting here with Julie.

I'm sitting here with Dick.

Her husband's disappeared.
It's just so terrible.

There's nothing worse than loneliness.
Believe me, I know.

Please tell her I'm here for her
if she needs me.

I know how tough the disappearance
of Joe's wife has been on him.

- Can I call you back?
- Yes.

And please tell Julie to think positively.

I'm sure Dick's devotion to her
will get him home safely.

Not.

Annette says to think positively.

She is just so great.

Were you two friends in high school?

No.

You wanna know something awful?

I used to sort of tease her.

Lois Lane. Clark?

Meet you?

Late tonight? Why?

Well, okay.

Clark? Are you here?

Lois?

Clark.

Where are you?

I'm here.

We need to talk. Lois, stop.

Please, don't come any closer.

What's wrong? Why can't I see you?

You'll only be frightened.
I'm frightened.

Did you see Dr. Klein?

He has to run more tests
before he knows anything definitive.

Lois, I know if you see me right now,
you'll be alarmed...

...and you'll ask lots of questions
and I won't have any answers.

Well, I swear
I won't ask any questions.

When will Dr. Klein get back to you?
How long before we know anything?

Why would you think I'd ask
lots of questions?

Lois, I need you to be calm, focused.

I think whatever's happening to you has
something to do with that exterminator.

Dick, Julie's husband, is gone.

Another person vanished?

And he had an exterminator
at his place too.

That's a start.

Whatever information you get,
I'll find a way of contacting you.

You'll contact me?

But yesterday you said
we were in this together.

Lois...

...this thing that I'm going through...

...right now, I have to handle it myself.

Please trust me on this.

Clark, ask me to scour the earth...

...wake up every cop,
knock on every door...

...but please don't ask me
to walk away from you.

I don't know how to do that.

I know.

Clark? Please forgive me.
I tried to do what you asked.

Maybe not hard enough, but I did try.
I'm here to help and I...

Clark?

Clark, are you here?

Clark?

Clark?

It wasn't cologne.

It was shampoo.

I know you're trying.
I don't mean to keep bothering you.

Dr. Klein, there are more tests
you could run.

I mean, it is possible to find an antidote,
isn't it?

We're doing our best
to analyze this shampoo...

...but we have so little to go on.

So, what you're saying is it's hopeless.

Well, of course I'm alarmed.
The world needs Superman.

I need Superman.

Clark?

- Is that you? Are you here?
- Yeah, I'm here.

Dr. Klein had bad news?

Well...

...not as good as we had hoped.

But he's got all of STAR Labs
working on a reversal formula.

It'll just take more time.

Time I don't have.

I know how scared you must be.
I know how scared I am.

At least we're in this together.

Lois, we've always tried to be honest
with each other.

That's the kind of commitment
we have to one another.

That's the kind of marriage
we're gonna have.

We have to be real here.

Lois, look at me.

Over here. Look.

Oh, God.

- I look like Mighty Mouse.
- No, you...

We can't seriously talk about a future,
or a life together or a marriage right now.

- I may not have a tomorrow.
- What are you saying?

I heard you on the phone
with Dr. Klein.

I heard your pain.

I can't put you through that.

Well, that doesn't say very much
for your belief in me.

I'm not some weak-kneed,
fair-weathered, fly-by-night friend.

I didn't come here to fight with you.

Then why did you come here? To tell
me you're gonna stay away forever?

- You are so stubborn.
- You are so stubborn.

Clark.

"Snoil."

Yeah. Yeah, I recall reading this
a year or so ago.

Dr. Torvold Graham claimed
he'd found a way to shrink living cells.

Where did you get this article?

From Superman.

Have you had any luck
with the analysis of the shampoo?

A little, but we are nowhere near
reversing its effect.

Lois, I have never been
under so much pressure.

I have this enormous responsibility.
If the world knew he was shrinking...

Klein, pull it together. This isn't
about you, it's about Superman.

- Right.
- Now...

...if we got this Dr. Graham's
research notes...

...could you find an antidote?

Possibly.

The details of his work
were kept confidential...

...and Dr. Graham vanished
some months ago. He was never found.

- Well, who did he work for?
- Oh, gee.

His work was funded by a...

- It was a large cosmetics firm.
- A cosmetics firm?

Well, you know, they're always trying
to shrink something.

- She runs a cosmetic company.
- I see.

None of us were friends with her
in high school.

Suddenly she's comforting Julie
and calling me.

And he said he didn't wanna
keep her waiting for lunch.

- Joe was having lunch with Annette.
- He was?

The exterminator from Snoil pest control.
"Snoil" spelled backwards is "lions."

We were the Lions.

Dr. Klein, I know how to get
those research notes.

"Lois, it's too dangerous.
Stay put till you hear from me."

He always says that.

And I never listen.

- I'm getting you out of here.
- Who are you?

I'm...

- ...a Navy Seal.
- Boy, you guys are good.

I'm not going out there.
There's a huge cat.

I'll take care of the cat. I'm...

...a Navy Seal.

- Well, the door's locked.
- I jimmied it.

We'll go down the table leg
and across the floor.

Hurry, before anybody wakes up.

Annette? Annette, open up. It's Lois.

She never listens.

Coming.

One word and you're cat food.
Think about it.

Lois. My, it's so late.
Well, I do hope there isn't a problem.

Annette, Clark's disappeared
just like the others.

No. Lois, I'm here for you.

Can I come in?

- Well, why don't we meet tomorrow...
- I really think I need to sit down.

You sure do have a lot of stuff
from high school.

Well, I was assembling it all
for the reunion.

Please, Lois. Share your pain with me.

This is Julie's cheerleading outfit.

And Joe's football helmet.

Yes. He was very grateful
for everything I've done.

It was really generous of you...

...considering you weren't even friends
in high school.

Do you know I went to every one of his
games and he never even looked my way?

And Julie used to tease you.

She found my weight, wardrobe, braces,
attempts to speak amusing, yes.

And what did I do?

I think you'd better go, Lo-Lo.

Why are you doing this?

I never did anything to you.

Who lost the election
for class president to you?

Moi. But you forgot, didn't you, Lo-Lo?

Of course. Nothing I ever did
made the slightest impression on you.

- And Peggy?
- Pretty, pretty Peggy.

Always got all the attention,
all the boys, all the Valentines.

Interesting, isn't it? Now everybody
needs me to comfort them, even you.

You don't wanna comfort anyone.
You just wanna see our pain.

- Lois!
- Over here!

- Don't. Lois!
- In the dollhouse!

Come on, hurry up. Hey, Lois!

Oh, my God.

- Call the cops!
- She's got a gun! Behind you!

Clark isn't here and Hans
is having great difficulty finding him.

So maybe he shrunk away to nothing.

Lonely, Lois? Need a hug?

There's still a chance
to make things right.

Just turn over
Dr. Graham's research notes.

Don't be silly. I'm more popular now
than I ever dreamed.

And since you don't appear to need me,
I have no need for you. Goodbye, Lois.

- Don't do it.
- No.

I guess I'll have to clean up
my own dirty work.

Whatever.

Here's a box office hit for you.
Honey, I Shrunk the Reporter.

- No, don't!
- Don't do it!

No!

- Lois. Lois, you saved us.
- Lois, that's great!

Good work, you two.
You all make an incredible team.

- But I guess I say that too often?
- I don't think you can say that too often.

What, Chief, no cowboy boots?

Well, you know, Sally said
I couldn't get my tush to push.

I guess I'm just an old rock'n'roller
at heart?

So that fortuneteller was right.

There was a little Kent in my future.

Are you saying that I was "small"
not to share my troubles with you?

That's not what I was saying,
but nicely put.

Well, would the future Mrs. Kent...

...and her alter ego, Lois Lane...

...accept an apology and dinner?

If Mr. Kent and his alter ego
would provide the flight.

Deal.

The four of us make a pretty good team.
We should double date more often.

You know what's great about you?

Sure, but you can repeat it again.

Everything.

As long as we're together,
it's incredible.

So I guess that means you won't be
pushing me away again.

I won't.

And maybe you could promise
not to put yourself in harm's way again?

Well...

Give me your pinkie.

- What?
- Your pinkie finger.

"I promise," on three.

- One, two.
- One, two.

I promise. Lois?

Lois?

Lois.
