as retold by Bill C
TW [sighs]: Cut to a ground-level shot of a street in Metropolis as a group of people run past in a panic. As it empties, the camera pulls back and pans up as two people's legs enter the shot; the pan shows it to be Lex and Clark as they walk a few feet and stop.
MR: Oh, God, now I've got that song in my head.
KK: It's oddly appropriate, isn't it?
ED: It totally spoils the Rocky thing, but it still fits the HoYay...so I'm okay with it.
TW: Clark and Lex both silently look up into the sky, and we switch to a from-below reverse shot to show them looking up at one of the huge Lego spaceships, now hovering over Metropolis.
AoT: Dammit, Kristin, why did you have to mention that song?
KK: It's stuck in your head too?
AoT: It's so bad...
KK: But perfect for this show!
JG [hums a few bars]: Dare I say it, you're probably right.
AoT: Well...yeah.
AM: Cut to a slow zoom on the window in Lionel's office as the music gets even more urgent. Lionel is standing there, arms folded, looking off-camera-left with the ship being reflected in the glass. Hard cut to a profile shot of him, looking serious.
ED: Traitor cat surveyin' his handiwork!
JG: Bastard cat now owns the humans.
ED: I had no idea you spoke lolcat, John!
[total silence]
KK: Okay. That I never saw coming.
AM: All right, John, you've really got to explain--
JG: Oh no. Never. Not in a million years.
AoT: Come on, you--
JG: No!
MR [quietly]: "I'm in your show, rulin' your planet."
JG [to MR]: Now, see, I like that idea.
KK: More like "I'm in your show, killin' your quality."
MR: Or plot.
ED: Or wardrobe.
[everybody looks at ED]
ED: What?
TW: Okay, so we jump cut to a long shot of the control panel in the FoS, and zoom in to show a single black crystal inserted in the middle of all the clear and white ones.
JG [slowly grins]: The God of Bastards' parting shot! Yes!
TW: Well, it could have been a parademon--
JG [pulls out his tranquilizer gun and aims it at TW]: You will not take this moment from me, Welling!
TW [long pause]: ...aaaand cut to a rear shot of Lionel, centered in the picture with the ship seemingly right outside his office window.
JG [lowers gun, then scowls]: Oh for chrissakes, Kreuk! You had to mention that damn song!
KK [smiles sweetly]: One of us...one of us...
AoT: It's okay, John. It's still better than whatever that Snow guy will make up.
AM: She's got a point.
ED: Just for a change, could we get the BSG poundy drum guy?
AM: I actually suggested he score an episode once. He passed out from laughing so hard.
ED: Oh. Ouch.
TW: And back to the frontal shot of Clark and Lex, still looking up at the ship.
MR: Lex gets the last line in the episode, as the camera pans around them and he briefly looks sideways at Clark. "I never would have dreamed this day would come, Clark. In just about any sense of the word."
ED [snickers]: And the HoYay continues--thanks, Allison!
JG [imitates TW]: "I've always loved you, Lex."
MR: "I'm so glad you told me before the end! Take me!"
AM [sings]: Dada da daa, dadada da daa...dada da daa, dadada da daa...
TW [shakes head]: And we go to a closer shot of the spaceship, and the music hits a crescendo as we cut hard to black and then pop up a 'To Be Continued...' title card.
AM+ED+KK: Dada da daa, dadada da daaa...
[JG and AoT look at each other, then shrug]
JG+AoT [singing]: It's the final countdown!
AM+ED+KK: Dada da daa, dadada da daaa...dada da daa, dadada da daa...
JG+AoT: The final countdown!
AM+ED+KK: Dada da daa...
TW [sighs quietly]: Lunatics.
AM+ED+KK+TW: ...dadada da daaa...dada da daa...
All: ...dadada da da da daa, dadadaa, dada daa da da da daa DA DAAA...
