7.04 Embedded by AM & ED (Part IV)

JG: I beg to differ!
ED: Can she summon up the courage to spurn her sexy but shady financial backer and possibly her son for the good of mutants everywhere?
AM: A bit melodramatic, ya think?
ED: It's Martha Kent's defining moment!
AoT: It's beautiful!
JG: It's crap!
AoT: But she should definitely scrap the legislation.
ED: What?
AoT: And run off with Lionel.
TW: What?
JG: Now that's Emmy winning!
ED: Annette, I...
AoT: Said it was my scene and I could do anything I wanted?
ED: Yes, but...
AoT: But what?
TW: Maybe she would prefer...
AoT: Erica is perfectly capable of speaking for herself, Tom.
ED: You know what? Do whatever you want. You don't want an Emmy no skin off my back.
TW: You're going to let Martha run off with Lionel?!
ED: Why not? She's been itching to do it since I joined this soap opera. Let the woman have some fun.

AM: Computing center.
ED: Lois stands and raises her hands. To Zinda, "Don't worry. They won't shoot Lex's computers."
AM: Zinda follows suit, "You sure about that?"
ED: "Pretty sure."
AM: A guard barks for them not to move. He keeps his gun aimed has two others approach with hand cuffs. "If they get those cuffs on us it's game over."
ED: "I know. Follow my lead."
AM: As a guard takes her hands Lois flips him over and steps on his groin. Zinda neutralizes the other. The remaining guards start shooting. Ducking for cover, "I thought you said they wouldn't shoot Lex's computers!"
ED: "Obviously I was wrong!"
AM: "Got any more bright ideas?"
ED: Lois spots the circuit breaker. "Actually, I do."
AM: "Why don't I feel any better?"
ED: Lois lunges for the circuit breaker and pulls the lever.
AM: The lights go out. "So, what do we do now?"
ED: "I'll think of something." Generators kick in and the lights come back on. "Crap!" Lois notices Zinda has pulled a gun off an unconscious guard. "Um, Zinda, what are you doing?"
AM: "Thinking of something."
ED: "I told you no guns!"
AM: "Yeah? Well they started it!" Zinda fires.
ED: Lois is worried. "Please don't kill anyone."
AM: Zinda takes another shot. "Don't worry Lois." Show the two guards on the ground holding their knee caps. "I'm may be a killer in the sack... but I'm not one in the field."
ED: Lois stares at the guards, "Nice shooting, Terminator."
AM: "OK, boys, drop your guns or the next shot might hit something vital."
ED: The guards drop their guns. "Ready for a tropical island get away?"
AM: "Lucky for me I packed my suit."
ED: "Now, about how to get there..."
AM: Zinda pulls out another LuthorCorp ID with the picture of a pilot, waves it in front of Lois and smiles, "Can you get us to the airport?"
ED: "You little devil."
AM: "It's a shame too. He was pretty charming. I was tempted to give him my real number. Now let's get out of here before they send re-enforcements."

ED: Lex's office. Hope is there.
AM: "They've fallen for the bait but there's a concern."
ED: Hope is calm, "We've planned for this, sir. The Green Arrow's mercenaries will be defeated."
AM: "The data we left for them has been accessed from two separate locations. I'm not convinced the Green Arrow is behind both breeches."
ED: "You think it's the Sullivan woman?"
AM: "No. She's not this sloppy. It's someone else."
ED: "What do you want me to do?"
AM: "A third party could introduce an unacceptable level of uncertainty. I want you to oversee Green Arrow's defeat personally."
ED: "My pleasure, sir." Hope moves to exit.
AM: "And Hope."
ED: She turns, "Yes sir."
AM: "I want him and his minions taken alive."
ED: "Sir?"
AM: "After what they've put us through, death is too easy. Besides once they're dead their potential value as test subjects is spoiled."
ED: Hope smiles, "Understood."
AM: "This time I win."

ED: LuthorCorp jet. Zinda is piloting. Lois is zipping up a black jump suit. "Is there anything you can't flirt your way into?"
AM: "The smarter the person the less effective it gets."
ED: "And then there's the women, I suppose."
AM: "Like I said..."
ED: Lois chuckles and sits down in the co-pilot's chair.
AM: "How does it fit?"
ED: "Honestly? It's a little tight in the bust."
AM: Zinda glances away from the controls, "Silly girl, it's not supposed to be zipped all the way up."
ED: "Oh." Lois hesitantly pulls the zipper back down, exposing a hint of cleavage.
MR: Since when is Lois modest?
AoT: Ever jumped out of an airplane topless, Michael?
MR: She wouldn't be topless...
AoT: Let me tell you , it's not a fun as it sounds!
KK: Annette?!?
ED: Besides, it's not about being modest. It's about being appropriate!
AM: Like answering the door naked is appropriate!
ED: No. That's just stupid.
AM: [smirks at ED]
ED: Oh, yeah. Um... Can we just get on with the script?
AM: Whatever you say, "Now that's better, isn't it?"
ED: Unconvinced, "Depends on your point of view."
AM: "And you wonder why your social life sucks."
MR: She tried opening doors naked...
JG: Dressing like a stripper...
KK: And jogging through town practically naked...
MR: ... and that didn't seem to help.
ED: You all can just bite me, OK? "We're going to be knocking heads together down there, not trolling for men!"
AM: "You might be surprised the sort of advantages you can squeeze out a single moment of distraction, Lois."
MR: Squeeze being the operative word.
ED: Lois smiles sheepishly a lowers the zipper a couple more inches.
AM: Zinda smiles back, "Now you're talking."
ED: Lois glaces at her chest, "Yeah, I'm just not sure I like what I'm saying."
MR: Is is complete out of character bullshit. The real Lois would have that thing zipped all the way down.
AoT: Wait. Is this the real Lois? What if she was replaced by an evil clone?
KK: An evil clone that actually likes journalism.
TW: And Clark.
MR: And isn't nearly as annoying.
AM: No, she's still just as annoying.
ED: Shut up, all of you!
AM: Zinda turns back to the controls and smiles to herself. The radar beeps.
ED: "We've got company."
AM: The island is visible in the distance. "Good thing we're almost there. Is that... smoke?"
ED: "Could it be industrial?"
AM: "Not if the blue prints are correct. Someone started the party without us."
ED: "Green Arrow."
AM: "Is that good or bad?"
ED: "Depends on your point of view."

AM: On the island Oliver shoots arrow after arrow, "It would be really nice to have that security parameter down about now."

ED: Cut to Cyborg pounding away at some freaks, "I heard you the last time!" One of the freaks goes down. "Almost there."

AM: Oliver, "That's what you said last time." Five huge freaks appear over a ridge.
ED: And this is where we intersect with the teaser.
AM: Oliver shoots an arrow. One of the freaks catches it and breaks it in his hand. "Great. Watchtower! I need backup and I need backup now! Who's available?"
ED: Clark zips in and takes one of the freaks out with punch from behind. "I am."
AM: "Glad you could make it." Oliver shoots an arrow at a freak sneaking up on Clark. The arrow hits the distracted freak taking him down.
ED: "I can't believe you started without me!"
AM: "I can't believe you went to Lex!"
ED: "Everyone deserves a second...."
AM: In Clark's face, "The next time you think about giving Lex Luthor another chance... don't!"
ED: They stare each other down.
AM: It's the gayest look of the episode.
