As retold by Maniac64 & PhantomChic
AoT: We come back to Martha and Josh sitting in an outdoor café.
KK: He is talking about the benefits of mandatory Ethanol levels. “… and lower emissions…blah, blah, blah.”
AoT: “Josh, I’m a Senator from a largely rural district in Kansas and I own a farm myself. I don’t need convincing to support increased Ethanol production. Not that I don’t appreciate the lovely lunch, but why are we really here?”
KK: “May I call you Martha?”
AoT: “I suppose.”
KK: “The truth is, Martha, I’ve been watching you for awhile.”
AoT: “Have you?”
KK: “I’m afraid my desire to have lunch with you today wasn’t really professional.”
AoT: Martha is thrown, she was expecting something about the Meta-Human bill.
KK: “You’re a beautiful, intelligent, passionate woman and I wanted an excuse to spend some time with you.”
TW: He’s hitting on her? He can’t hit on her!
AoT: And why shouldn’t he?
TW: He’s only like 10 years older than Clark.
AoT: So?
TW: It’s wrong.
JG: I have to agree.
AoT: What?
JG: Martha is Lionel’s love interest, she can’t go dating some kid.
AoT: Martha is more than enough woman to balance two men if she wants. [She cracks her knuckles] Don’t you agree? [Silent nods all around]
KK: So Josh asks Martha if he can take her out that night for dinner.
AoT: Martha tells him that it would inappropriate for her to date a Lobbyist while the Senate is in session, even if he does work for an issue she supports.
KK: He tells her he’ll call her the moment the session is gaveled close.
AoT: We cut from that lovely outdoor scene, to Lex’s dim office, lit mostly by the white light shining from behind Lana’s ass.
TW: You’re kidding.
AoT: Oh no, it’s right there in the script.
MR: [reading] “Lex looks up at Lana who is backlit by a white light source positioned just below her lower back.” Oh god.
KK: Just a little treat for the fans. The light fades down behind Lana until Lex can look at her clearly. “You don’t seem that surprised to see me.”
AoT: “Well, I’m surprised it’s you. Why are you here?”
KK: “We never finished our talk.”
AoT: “Ah, yes, you were saying something about “sharing blame” and then…” Lex stops as he hits the gap in his memory.
KK: “And then I was auditioning for the headless hunt.”
AoT: “I guess the blame doesn’t matter any more.”
KK: “No. Especially since the balance has shifted firmly to you.”
AoT: “I didn’t kill you.”
KK: “Not directly. But you might have saved me. How can you expect to protect the world from aliens if you can’t even protect your wife in your own office?”
AoT: “There was nothing I could do. One second we were alone and the next Kal-El had killed you and was gone. I didn’t even see it.”
KK: “Is that a fact? And what got us to that point? I wouldn’t have been there at that moment if you had trusted me while we were together. Once upon a time we were working together. But you seem to have some problems with the concept of full disclosure.”
AoT: “Sharing information with lovers has been a problem for me in the past. I tend to be betrayed. So sorry if I wasn’t eager to repeat the experience.”
KK: “It could have been different with me, Lex.” It’s because of all of your dirty little secrets and your horrible lies. That’s the reason I died. Killed for no fault of my own, just like my parents. Lana keeps talking but the audio fades out as we go to a reverse shot to see Kahloe standing behind Lex wearing a slinky black dress.
AoT: She whispers in his ear “You don’t have to listen to this. She’s not real.”
KK: “And you are?”
MR: Lana can see Kahloe?
KK: Her ghost can.
AM: That doesn’t make any sense.
KK: It’s a ghost and a neural clone. The rules are whatever I say they are.
AoT: “Leave him alone. It’s not his fault you’re dead.”
KK: “No, it’s not his fault.” Lana fades away. Kahloe massages Lex’s shoulders as she drinks his scotch.
MR: Allison’s giving me a back rub? Nice.
AM: Shut up Michael.
AoT: We cut to Lois at a car dealership where she’s talking to a sales guy.
ED: Am I getting a new car?
AoT: No, Lois is investigating. “What did these guys look like?”
KK: “Five escapees from an Abercrombie & Fitch catalogue. Looked like they’d been partying for awhile, some of their clothes were kind of torn and stained.”
AoT: “Blood stains, maybe.”
KK: “Maybe. Anyway, they said they wanted to do some test driving. But instead of taking anything off the lot, they started playing bumper cars. They must all be walking around with whip-lash right now because they were speeding across the lot to ram each other.”
AoT: “You just gave them all keys?”
KK: “They had a black Visa.”
AoT: “The game ended before the cops got here?”
KK: “I guess they got bored. They all piled into a yellow Xtera and burned it out of here.”
AoT: Anything else?
KK: “I think they said something about beer.” Cut to Brad & Bobby loading a keg into the back of the Xtera.
AoT: Nate is looking in the side mirror. “I can’t believe that guy shot me in the head for taking a couple of bottles of Jack. Is my hair okay?”
KK: Larry assures him he looks fine.
MR: Definitely gay.
AoT: Nate looks up from the mirror and spots a sporting goods store. “Let’s pick up some toys.”
KK: Nick says the store’s closed.
AoT: “I got a key.” Nate picks up a garbage can and throws it thru the window. Alarms go off as they all climb in over the broken glass.
KK: Nick grabs a bunch of jerseys and tosses them to Brad, Bobby, & Larry. “Here, get rid of those bloody clothes.” They change.
TW: How many times are these guys going to be naked in this episode?
ED: Not enough.
KK: We could have them strip down when it’s time for Clark to fight them if you want.
MR: Clark wrestling naked frat guys? The audience would love it.
AM: And Lex would want the video.
