We'll have to search it.
Give me a hand over here.

- Right!
- Come on, throw it down.

- 'What have you got?'
- 'Eh, nothing.'

[indistinct chatter]

[dramatic music]

[violin music]

[chuckling]
When you said Italian, I had
no idea we were actually going.

It's my favorite restaurant
in Milano.

Magnifico.

Oh, Lex, what am I gonna
do with you?

Eh, spend the rest of your life
with me, I hope.

[laughing]

I'm serious.

Lois Lane..

...will you marry me?

[scoffs]

I don't know what to say.

Only three possible choices.
Yes, no, maybe.

It's not that simple.

What about my life
at the "Daily Planet?"

And Clark and Perry and Jimmy,
they're like family, I..

Well, I believe in families,
large ones.

Lex, uh, the last few weeks
with you have been wonderful.

I...I hardly know you.

The only thing you have to know
about me is that I love you.

What?

What is it?

Oh, is there something else?
Would..

Would it have
anything to do with Superman?

Oh, it's, uh..

I..

It's just a lot to take in.

But you'll give it some thought.

Yes.

So it's maybe, for now.

Oh, well, yes, m-maybe.
May, maybe.

It is beautiful.

Well, actually,
it's a piece of rock.

On your hand,
it's priceless to me.

[cell phone ringing]

[sighs]

(male #1)
'Phone for you, Mr. Luthor.'

Excuse me.

Yes.

(Devane)
'Your information was accurate,
Luthor.'

'I have the Kryptonite.'

When can I expect delivery?

I'll call you
when I get back to Metropolis.

- 'The price is five million.'
- Done.

Priceless.

[theme music]

[explosion]

[music continues]

- Ah. How many is that?
- That's six.

Dancer, Prancer, Comet,
Blitzen..

(male #2)
'Good morning, Mr. Kent,
your flying magazine is in.'

- ...Cupid, Donner.
- That's seven, one more.

Donner.

- You're stuck.
- I'm not stuck.

- I'm stuck.
- Right, that's five bucks.

Five bucks. Get it, five bucks.

Ha ha, okay, okay,
just tell me the name.

- Vixen.
- Ohh.

- Double or nothing.
- Okay.

- Mm, the seven dwarfs.
- You are on. Piece of cake.

[blows]

Happy, Dopey, Doc...Sneezy..

Sleepy...Grumpy.

That's six.

- Sleazy?
- Huh-uh.

Bippy, Dippy, Mopsy, Flopsy,
Steve, Joe--

- That's it! Time's up!
- I hate this. I hate this!

[blows]

- Tell me.
- It's so obvious.

Can't you read?

Bashful.

- So, when will we be paid?
- 'I'm not sure.'

I guess
when there's money to pay you.

'Now, look, look, look'

'I'm only the messenger here,
boys and girls.'

I can only repeat what I've been
told, and that ain't much.

What are we doing
to resolve this?

I mean, what is the paper doing?

I have no idea.

'They haven't exactly
asked for my input--'

What's going on?

Have you tried to
cash your paycheck?

- I deposited it. Again?
- Rubber.

They said last week's problem
was a clerical error.

Yeah, like being broke.

You know, and there's a rumor
the paper's going under.

Jimmy, there's always a rumor.

It's usually true.

Anything else, chief.
Any more surprises?

Oh.

- They talked about lay-offs.
- What?

They can't do that.

All I know is,
unless we find ways

to save money around here, we're
all gonna be out of business.

[indistinct chatter]

No business lunches, no payments
for sources, no cabs.

We might as well hang up
our word processor.

Come on, we'll adjust.

Hopefully, it's only temporary.

Clark, we're newspaper people.

We're supposed to
have the resources

to write the news as it happens.

Old news isn't news,
it's history.

Yeah, well, I think it's a scam.

Those pinstriped
pinheads upstairs

only want us to think
the "Planet" is broke.

- Why would they do that?
- I've seen it before.

Management pretends
there's some crisis

and panics people
into cutting costs.

I heard some people
talking about a strike.

Strike? No way, not me.

I mean, I feel like
I just walked in.

Nah, tell me about it.

'Besides,
this is the Daily Planet.'

I mean, we may be down,
but we're not out.

I mean, things could be
a lot worse.

- At least we're still..
- Unemployed.

Amazing!

They really are pink.

Shall I pour?

Let me.

Should we begin
to switch the LexCorp

advertising accounts
into other papers?

Not yet.

We must preserve
the illusion of loyalty.

You know,
Metropolis won't be Metropolis

without the Daily Planet.

How will this affect
your proposal to Lois Lane?

Well, it's designed to help.

If you wish to utterly defeat
a battle field opponent

you must destroy
their support systems

their allies,
and any avenue of retreat.

Lois Lane,
a battle field opponent.

Figuratively speaking.

[telephone rings]

(Lex)
'Mr. Devane.'

I'm ready to make delivery.
Are the funds available?

Have you authenticated the item?

'The Kryptonite is genuine.'

'Don't jerk me around, Luthor.'

'It will take me
about ten seconds'

'to find an alternate buyer.'

Aren't you forgetting
whose sources

turned up the existence
of the stone in the first place?

No, I'm not forgetting.

That and five million
will get you your stone.

'Do you want it or not?'

May I see it?

I want it.

You know, I could talk to Perry.

- We both could.
- Oh, it's not his fault.

He probably would've
prevented it if he could.

I mean, besides, he probably
feels bad enough as it is.

Well, I guess it's back
to a life of crime for me.

It's always good to have
something to fall back on.

[indistinct chattering]

- Steve, everything alright?
- Yeah?

[sighs]
I've just been laid off.

Twenty five years
on the Planet.

Where am I gonna go?
What am I gonna do?

It's a massacre.

- It's all happening so fast.
- Or maybe not.

Maybe management's been having
money problems this whole time.

You know, the employees are
always the last ones to know.

We've gotta strike back.
I've been doing some polling.

We've the people from printing,
maintenance, distribution

administration, news staffers,
even accounting.

Only drastic action
will convince the board

we're not fooling around.

Lois, you're talking about
a full-scale walkout?

(Lois)
If that's what it takes.

I for one refuse to accept
these indignities lying down.

Don't even think about it.

Clark, do you think
about the future much?

All the time. You?

A lot lately.

I mean, if the Planet
ever went under, I'd be lost.

No, not you. You'd be back
on your feet in no time.

Maybe.

Something happened recently.

- 'Something bad?'
- No.

You know, just something
that made me think.

I-I wanted to talk to you
about it, but..

Talk to me now.

Well, it's not the kind of thing
that you just blurt out.

It-it takes delicacy.

Ah, well, you're in a lot
of trouble there.

[chuckles]

Well, I know I don't seem
like the type of woman

that this would happen to but

I've never had
anyone in my life

actually ask me to be his--

Listen up, kids, I just
got a call from upstairs

that we can expect announcement
just about...now.

[elevator bell dings]

- Ladies and gentlemen.
- Lex!

For those of you who don't know
me, my name is Lex Luthor.

I, no less than you,
have been greatly distressed

'by the sea of troubles
that has mired Metropolis's'

'one great newspaper.'

I don't know
why your advertisers have

abandoned you
or why circulation is down.

I don't know why your banks have
cut off your lines of credit.

I don't know why your cash
reserves were depleted

by unnecessary expenditures,
though I have my suspicions.

But I do know that your problems
can be solved..

...with strong leadership
and fiscal responsibility.

So therefore, I've taken
the one step necessary

that would guarantee the future,
of this great newspaper.

- I bought it.
- What?

(Lex)
'I'm the new owner
of the "Daily Planet."'

Today begins a new era.

I promise no interference,
only a few minor modifications.

And no layoffs.

[cheering]

Why tamper with greatness?

Happy days are here again!
Wooh-ooh!

- Whoo-hoo!
- The presses will roll.

This is a great thing
you've done, Lex.

Isn't this wonderful?

It's a disaster.

[sighs]

Clark, can't you give up
this idea

that Lex Luthor is the root
of all evil in Metropolis?

Why should I give it up, Lois?
It's true.

No, it's not true.
Give him some credit.

Lex just saved our jobs,
not to mention..

Not to mention what?

Not to mention...
he asked me to marry him.

[instrumental music]

Ah, Perry, good morning.
Forgive the intrusion.

But my office
won't be ready till tomorrow.

I needed a quiet spot
to make some phone calls.

Oh, uh,
yeah, sure, of course.

Uh, well, if you, uh,
if you'll excuse me..

No, excuse me, I don't believe

you've met Chip Peterson yet,
have you?

How you doing?

It's a pleasure
to meet you, sir.

I'm a great admirer
of your work.

You've had
such an illustrious career.

[chuckles]
Thank you..

I have, uh.. "Had?"

(Lex)
'Chip is just out of
Harvard Business School'

top of his class. He is very
interested in journalism.

Oh-oh.

Well, it's, uh..

It's a fine profession,
of course.

It takes a lot of hard work
and dedication.

It's not exactly what you'd
call a, uh...fast track.

Chip is our new
supervising editor in chief.

- Supervising?
- Don't worry, Mr. White.

We'll make the transition as
smooth and painless as possible.

Chip, will you excuse us
for a minute?

That won't be necessary.

I think it'll be very necessary.

[grunting]

- Perry!
- Did you..

Or did you not..

...just make that featherbrain,
snot nose, pimply-faced

under-aged cow chip...my boss?

Well, that's one interpretation.

Here's another interpretation.

Why don't you just get the hell
out of my office and stay out?

Perry, you're over-reacting.

'Now, my management style
may not be exactly'

what you and the Daily Planet
are used to, but give it time.

We'll learn to adapt,
compromise, work together

maybe even love each other.

'And think of this
as our honeymoon period.'

Why don't we just think of it..

...as our divorce...period?

[sighs]

[indistinct chattering]

- Perry, you going somewhere?
- Home!

Are you alright. Are you sick?

No, I am not sick,
and no, I am not alright.

If you have a problem, you take
it up with your new owner

and his new Supervising Editor
in Chief, Chip!

What?

Jimmy, what are you doing?

I'm cleaning out my desk.

I thought you and Jack
got your jobs back?

Oh, we got our jobs back, yeah.
But not the same jobs.

We report to the printing plant
tomorrow morning.

[elevator bell dings]

You know it's funny, because
I'm having a tough time

seeing this as
a lateral career move.

(Lex)
Well, this is an excellent piece
of writing, Clark.

I think we'll hold off
on running it.

Why? It's a hot topic.

Controversial might be
a better word.

Allegations
of excessive rate hikes

at Metropolis Electric
is controversial?

That necessary rate hikes
are excessive is your opinion

and not necessarily
of the opinion of this paper.

This wouldn't have anything to
do with the fact that you are

on the Board of Directors for
Metropolis Electric, would it?

Well, you see, that inference

is both insulting
and unprofessional.

and frankly, I expected
more from you, Mr. Kent.

- Who died and made you king?
- Excuse me, what?

I said, "Who died
and made you king?"

The boy has courage.

I hope it doesn't get him
into too much trouble.

Is that how it's gonna work
around here, Luthor?

The free press is free
only to do your bidding?

If you don't feel free enough
around here, Mr. Kent

you're free to leave.

Why tamper with greatness?

Great.

Lois, just the woman
I was looking for.

Lex, what's going on?
Did you fire Perry?

What? No, of course not.

I just hired another fellow
to work with him

help take some of the load off.

He wants the load. He won't
accept this. He'll quit.

Well, I sincerely hope not.

It will be a great loss
to this paper.

If Perry weren't
so resistant to progress.

No, but if I've...made
a mistake, I'll talk to him.

I'll, I'll apologize.

What about Jimmy
and Jack and Clark.

What were you two arguing about?

Well, Jimmy and Jack
I just got jobs, right

the only ones available, and
I'll get them back on the floor

as soon as humanly possible,
I promise.

But, Clark...has this..

...unreasonable hostility
toward me, I don't why.

'I have nothing
but respect for him, Lois.'

'I don't know how to
gain his trust, but I will.'

Lois..

...I'm trying to
save the Planet.

Alright? So give me a chance.

Trust me.

Everything will be fine.

It's gonna work out fine, Clark.
Just give it time.

Lex will turn things around.

- Incredible.
- What?

You, a prize-winning
investigative reporter.

Is there a point?

How can you be so blind, Lois?

I mean, you look
right at the guy

and still you don't have a clue
who he really is.

- Who?
- Luthor.

Look, Clark, I'm not naive.

I know that Lex did not
reach his station in life

by being a nice guy. But look
at all the good he's done.

Luthor Hospital.
Luthor Home for Children.

Luthor Foundation for the Arts.

Not to mention
employing hundreds of

thousands of people
in Metropolis.

And most recently,
saving our jobs.

A cover, it's all a cover.

Why? If he's such a rotten
human being, why bother?

Because that's what
he enjoys most.

Getting away with it.

The man is more than just evil,
Lois. He's a monster.

I-I'm not going to
listen to this.

- Especially not now.
- Wha..

You aren't actually considering
his proposal, are you?

I don't know, Clark.

Uh, I, I'm thinking about it.
That's all.

I'm just thinking about it.

[sighs]

I don't believe
she'll actually do it, but

the fact that
she's even considering it..

You have to prevent it, Clark

knowing what you do
about Luthor.

[sighs]

I think it's time
that I do more than that.

What is it, son?

[sighs]

Remember you asked me
what I wanted

when I first
moved to Metropolis?

Yeah, sure I do.

I said that...
I wanted to meet someone..

...settle down, raise a family.

Well...I know now that

Lois is the woman that I want to
spend the rest of my life with.

Are you just now
figuring that out?

Your father and I have
known that from the moment

you started talking about her.

Well...maybe I did, too.

But I couldn't,
I just couldn't let myself..

(Jonathan)
'Do you love her, son?'

Yeah, I do, dad.

Good, then tell her.

Tell her what?
That I'm Superman?

Ah, well,
that's got to be up to you.

At least tell her
how you feel.

If she feels the same way

well, it shouldn't
take her too long

to figure out
you're no ordinary guy.

[laughing]

- Lois, I need to talk to you.
- In a minute, Clark.

This is important. Spring

Home number

Yes.

Um, "9236-7249

Ah. Item number L

Color code wheat.
Size 7b.

Lois..

What do you mean,
discontinued?

What? No, I don't have
another selection.

You mean, I just gave you
every intimate detail

of my life for nothing?

[scoffs]
Yes, I would like to
speak to your supervisor.

- I'll-I'll catch you later.
- Mm-hm.

- So, where'd they stick you?
- Ink supply room.

Beautiful.
I'm a utility person..

- Whatever that means.
- Great.

[instrumental music]

[intense music]

[explosion]

[rumbling]

[indistinct screaming]

Out! Everybody out!
Get out!

Out!

[shattering]

[explosion]

[indistinct screaming]

[indistinct shouting]

[glass shattering]

[coughing]

[explosion]

Jack, come on. Come on!

[sirens wailing]

He inhaled a lot of smoke,
but he's going to be okay.

- He's gonna be fine.
- Thank you.

(male #3)
'We need to get water up
to the seventh floor.'

- How's the water pressure?
- Good.

But we'll never
get our lines in there.

Yes, you will.

[dramatic music]

How many times has he just
stepped in and saved our lives?

'What a guy.'

It's gone.
It's all gone.

- We'll rebuild.
- Sure, we will.

(Perry)
'Oh, it's just about the worst
thing I can imagine.'

No, not the worst.

The worst would've been to have
one of our very own employees..

'Someone who
we didn't know for long'

but someone in whom
we had placed our trust

set this fire deliberately.

- That's the guy.
- No!

Take him, get him!

[grunts]

I didn't do anything.
Let me go!

Luthor, this is a mistake!

- Lex!
- No mistake.

The incendiary device that
did this was in his lunch pail.

'The police found
the explosives'

that he used to make it,
hidden in his room.

'We're all familiar
with his criminal past.'

- Get him out of my sight!
- You're wrong. You're wrong!

[sighs]
I'm sorry.

It's a sad day
for all of us.

No, it's an historic day.

Tomorrow..

...for the first time
in 219 years

there will be no edition
of the Daily Planet.

[dramatic music]

[clamoring]

It's okay, chief.
We'll bounce back.

I'm afraid the Daily Planet
and I are all bounced out.

Will not reopen
in the foreseeable future.

That's how your friend Luthor
put it at the press conference.

Come on, let me buy you guys
a cup of coffee.

(Perry)
You know, I was only
17 years old when I came here.

I had an interview
with old man Krebbs

for assistant copy boy,
and I was 15 minutes late.

But I just stood out there
under that globe

I just stared up at it.

I don't know, somehow I just

knew my future was tied up
in that building.

It was barely a year ago when
I interviewed with you, chief.

Thanks for giving me
the best year of my life.

Yeah, and I want
to thank you for, uh..

...giving me the chance
to work with you.

Well, I refuse to sit here
and cry in my cafe au lait

or deliver testimonials
to my wonderful

but short-lived career
at the Planet.

'That life is not over.'

'We'll be back..'

'...all of us, together.'

Oh, no. Oh, no, not me.

I'm going to take
an early retirement.

- You?
- Yep.

Chief, you're too young
to think about retiring.

Yeah, you're right.
I am too young.

But I'm also too old
to start interviewing

with snot-nosed kids

who've got more diplomas
than good sense.

No, I'm going to travel, fish..

...read, spend more time
with my kids.

- Life's going to be--
- Boring.

No. Relaxing.

No more pressure.

Well, I got to meet Alice
at the realtors.

(Lois)
Chief..

(Perry)
Whatever happens

I just want you all to know

that you're the very best
that I've ever worked with.

'The best.'

I don't know.
I've never seen him like this.

We've got to do something.

There's only one thing to do.

[horn honking]

Lois.
What a lovely surprise.

Oh! I don't believe
you two are acquainted.

Mrs. Cox...Lois Lane.

So pleased to meet you.

Mrs. Cox is my
personal assistant.

What exactly does
a personal assistant do?

Whatever is necessary.

Lex, I need your help.

With what?

Rebuilding the Daily Planet.

[sighs]
Lois..

...there isn't
an advertiser in the city

that I can count on for revenue.

The Planet was
pitifully underinsured.

I mean, rebuilding makes
no economic sense.

I-I wish I could but I can't.

I have the stockholders
to think of.

But everyone is so lost.

Nobody knows where or if
they'll find another job.

Perry is threatening
early retirement.

What's wrong with that? I mean,
Perry deserves retirement.

He's worked too hard
for too long.

Let him enjoy life for a change.

His life was the Planet.

Mine, too.

Lois, I know that
the Planet was your home

but I can make
another home for you

a new home.

Lex, I can't
just sit around here

organizing dinner parties.

I need to work.

I know that, my darling

but that is why..

...I have a job for you.

- Luthor News Network.
- Television?

'It's the on-ramp to
the information superhighway.'

The future lies
in 500 interactive channels

of television viewing.

Now...let me show you
around this afternoon.

If you don't like it,
well enough to start right away

I'll never bring it up again.

Well..

...I guess there's no harm
in taking a look.

That's my girl.

Speaking of which..

...have you reached
your decision yet?

No.

Not quite yet.

I have something
I need to settle first.

I'll give you
my answer tomorrow.

[indistinct chattering]

(Lois)
'Clark!
Thanks for coming.'

- What's going on?
- Plenty.

I've been here all afternoon.

Well, what am I
doing here exactly?

I'm going to work here

and I want you
to work here, too.

We can still be partners.

I'm a newspaper reporter.

We'd still be writing the news.

Copy for our reporters.

Or you could be
a correspondent.

[chuckles]
Look around.
It's so modern.

- It's sterile.
- It's efficient.

- It's soulless.
- It's fast-paced.

It's superficial.

Oh, Clark,
where's your open mind?

I can't believe you've given up
so easily on the Planet.

Did it really mean
that little to you?

The Planet meant
as much to me

if not more
than it did to you.

But it's gone.

Even Lex can't
put it back together.

And this is good,
exciting work.

I will never work
for Lex Luthor.

Well, what about us?
What about partners?

Lois, is there someplace
we can talk...alone?

Yeah.

When I thought about losing
my job at the Daily Planet

and saying good-bye to
Perry and Jimmy and everyone

I realized something.

I realized that..

[sighs]
...I could lose all of that
and still go on.

I realized that there was
really only one thing

that I didn't want
to live without..

...and that...was you.

Seeing you every day, working
with you, just being with you--

Well, that's why you should come
and be my partner--

No! Lois, listen to me.

I'm not talking about
the partnership.

I'm talking about...us.

I have been...
in love with you

for a long time.

You had to have known.

Oh, I, I mean, I..

I knew. I..

I-I mean,
I guess I knew, I..

That you liked me
or were attracted to me.

Oh, Clark,
I'm sorry.

I, I just don't feel
that way about you

you know, romantically.

You're my best friend

and the only partner
I could ever stand to work with.

I-I admire you,
and I respect you..

...and I do love you..

...as a friend.

And what about Luthor?
Do you love him?

[sighs]
I don't know.

'I mean,
I have feelings for him.'

I haven't said yes yet.

And I won't until I talk it over
with someone else.

Who?

I think you know who.

'If you see him will you
tell him I'm looking for him?'

Yeah.

[intense music]

(Devane)
'Do you have the money?'

$5 million.
The stone?

Perfect.

Slide the case over here.
Raise your hands, step back.

If the stone works, I'll pay you
your money with a bonus.

Double-crossing.
Now!

[gunfire]

[grunts]

[gunfire continues]

Aah!

[explosion]

(male #4)
'Come on! Let's get
out of here! Let's go!'

[instrumental music]

Well, the voice
wasn't bad, but..

I never felt he had
the mannerisms down.

It isn't easy playing you.

Nonsense.
I do it every day.

[Devane coughing]

Is that Kryptonite
in your pocket or..

...are you glad to see me?

Pay him his bonus,
will you, Mrs. Cox?

[swoosh]

Superman!

I heard you wanted to see me.

Yes.

Come in.
I'll-I'll just put on a robe.

Unless it's lined
with lead, Lois

it's a waste of time.

[chuckles]
I guess so.

Well, I'm just trying
to figure out..

I have a lot of changes
going on in my life..

...and I just want to make
the right decision.

And I can't do that
until I know..

...how you feel.

Superman..

...is there any hope for us?

You and me?

I'm so completely
in love with you.

I can't do anything else
without knowing.

[sighs]

Lois..

...I do care for you.

But there are things about me
that you don't know.

That you...may never know.

What does it matter?
I know you.

I-I don't mean you the celebrity
or you the superhero.

If you had no powers at all

if you were just an ordinary man

leading an ordinary life

I would love you just the same.

Can't you believe that?

I wish I could, Lois.

But under the circumstances..

...I don't see how I can.

[instrumental music]

[swoosh]

Superman.

(male #5)
'Five minutes, people.
We've got to get cooperation.'

(female #1)
'There's no way
we can get to them.'

'They've blocked it off.'

'They may come back
with an indictment--'

What's going on?

Our sources at the courthouse

tell us the grand jury
may come back

with indictments against
two city councilmen.

The redevelopment fund scandal?

Yeah.
We got a camera crew there.

They've been denied access.

We're not sure
which two are named.

We're not sure
the information's accurate.

Until you know that,
you don't have a story.

Yeah, but we hear CNN's
about to go with it, so..

So they must know something
we don't.

I'll make a few calls.
I know some bailiffs.

I'm on the air in four minutes.

Not unless you have
something to report.

- How are you?
- Swell.

The room's small and drafty,
company's not much to speak of

but on the other hand,
the food stinks.

Jack, I want to hear it
from you. The truth.

No matter what it is.

I had nothing to do with it.
I swear to you.

I mean, why would I?

I had a good job,
people who trusted me.

It was all going so great.
You believe me?

Yeah, I believe you.

Don't worry. We'll get you
out of here, alright?

I don't like the lawyer
Luthor hired for me.

Doesn't listen to me.
Says we should just cop a plea.

I'll get you another lawyer.

Any chance
you could ask Superman

to bust me out of here?

Jack, n-no.

I didn't think so.

(male #6)
'Quiet on the floor, people.'

'We're live in five,
four, three..'

Thank you.

The grand jury today
handed down indictments

'calling for the arrest
of Metropolis City'

'Councilmen Ferdig and Montang.'

As you can see
from this exclusive tape

taken outside the courthouse

the councilmen
have already been remanded

into custody,
and we will be covering

their arraignment
later this afternoon.

For now, I'm Sandra Ellis
for "LNN News."

(automated recording)
'This is "LNN News."'

[applause]

[glass dings]

Let's have a toast to the Daily
Planet. God bless her.

I don't know how
I'm going to live without her.

'But, you know, at one point
Elvis went 13 years'

between Las Vegas engagements.

Well, that was the start
of his bloated period

but, gosh, I tell you

time sure will slip up on you.

Well, now there's time
for everything, chief.

Yeah. No more deadlines.

Maybe you can plan
that trip to Graceland

'and actually go.'

Graceland!

Yes! Yes!

Did you know..

...that Elvis
had a twin brother?

Jesse Garon Presley.

Delivered 35 minutes
before the king.

'Born dead.'

Sad.

It's-it's sad, uh..

Collapsed on stage singing
"Lonely Teardrops."

Elvis sent his wife

$35,000 to help pay
the medical bills.

See, that was the king.
That was the king.

'Ooh.'

So much for the chief
not having a good time.

- So, how is your new job, Lois?
- Great!

Broadcasting is a whole new
world. It's very exciting.

Not like life at the Planet,
dull and boring.

You know what I mean. Nothing
will ever replace the Planet.

I'm just not gonna sit around
obsessing about it.

Well, I'm just trying to find
out why the paper failed.

And what we know is just the tip
of the iceberg, Lois.

Clark, can I talk to you
in private for a second?

You are ruining Perry's
retirement dinner.

Me, I'm not the one
gloating over my new job.

- Gloating?
- All you can talk about is..

- Your new job at LNN..
- And all you can do is..

Sit around whining in your beer.

What?

- You're afraid, Lois.
- I'm not afraid of anything.

Yes, you are.
You're afraid of the truth.

And the truth is that Lex Luthor
maybe hiding

from you what really happened
at the Daily Planet.

- I've been doing some digging..
- I know why you're doing this.

- Oh, you do, do you?
- Yes.

You told me your feelings,
and you're hurt.

And I am sorry about that, Clark

but all of this
is just sour grapes.

- Lois, what if I find evidence?
- You're talking about a man..

I trust and admire,
who has always been

completely truthful with me.

Now, if you really
cared about me

you would let me,
you would help me to be happy.

I have found
a good job and someone

who wants to spend the rest
of his life with me.

- What is wrong with that?
- Okay, that's fine.

If that's what you want, Lois,
then fine go ahead.

- Get in bed with the devil.
- Fine!

Fine, let's get back
to the party, then.

Yes, have a really good time.

[laughing]

♪ Jus say you will.. ♪♪

I will.

You know it must be nice
to have a free car.

- At your beck and call.
- Come on, Jimmy!

The word free
is not in Luthor's vocabulary.

- With him, you always pay.
- Clark, will you stop?

Are you coming?

I'd rather walk.

Suit yourself!

[elevator bell dings]

- How was the retirement dinner?
- Oh.

- Mm.. Painful.
- I'm sorry.

I wish there was something
I could do.

- What?
- Nothing.

Do I really know you?

Know enough about you?

My life is an open book.

Shall I read it to you?

Just the parts you wouldn't want
anyone else to know.

[clicks tongue]
Alright.

[sighs]
Well, I, I started with nothing.

I was orphaned at the age 13.

It must've been terrible.

'Yes, but it made me strong.'

[sighs]
But, Lois, look, I'm no saint.

I've done questionable things
in the pursuit of my success

but unfortunately that's
the nature of big business.

Gentlemen, don't worry about
the advertisers and the banks.

They'll do
what I tell them to do.

The board's decision
to sell the Daily Planet

must be immediate and unanimous.

Naturally, your loyalty
will be rewarded.

Or, should I say...compensated?

(Lex)
And sometimes, out of, uh

jealousy or frustration

I've over-reacted.

I've been ruthless
with my enemies.

But, as God as my witness,
I swear to you

from this moment on,
I'll change.

I no longer want to hurt anyone.

I'm willing to devote my life
to you.

To commit myself
to you totally and eternally.

Will you marry me?

Is there any hope for us?

Yes, Lex.

I will marry you.
