YOU A JOB IN METROPOLIS.

JUST TELL PEOPLE THE TRUTH.

165
00:08:41,374 --> 00:08:43,423
THEN I GET STUCK WITH
THE INCOMPETENCE RAP.

166
00:08:43,447 --> 00:08:45,225
BEING REVILED IS
THE LESSER EVIL.

BACK TO METROPOLIS THEN.

168
00:08:48,422 --> 00:08:50,801

ORCHESTRATED HIS COUP,

ARE FRIENDS FOR?

174
00:09:21,418 --> 00:09:24,837
THOUGHT I'D FIND YOU HERE.

175
00:09:24,861 --> 00:09:26,870
MY DAD AND I CAN'T REALLY DO

176
00:09:26,894 --> 00:09:29,172
THE WHOLE DEPRESSED
THING TOGETHER, SO...

177
00:09:29,196 --> 00:09:31,205
YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE NOT
UP FOR SATURDAY NIGHT,

178
00:09:31,229 --> 00:09:32,505
I UNDERSTAND.

179
00:09:32,529 --> 00:09:34,307
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

180
00:09:34,331 --> 00:09:36,379
IT'S THE ONLY THING I HAVE TO
LOOK FORWARD TO RIGHT NOW.

181
00:09:36,403 --> 00:09:38,381
BESIDES, I WANT TO
ENJOY ALL THE QUAINT

182
00:09:38,405 --> 00:09:40,455
SMALLVILLE HIGH
CUSTOMS WHILE I STILL CAN.

183
00:09:40,479 --> 00:09:42,456
WHY? WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

184
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:44,788
MY DAD'S TALKING ABOUT
MOVING US BACK TO METROPOLIS

185
00:09:44,812 --> 00:09:46,390
PERMANENTLY.

186
00:09:46,414 --> 00:09:48,764
WHAT ABOUT THE "TORCH"
AND ALL YOUR FRIENDS?

187
00:09:48,788 --> 00:09:50,826
I CAN'T EVEN THINK
ABOUT IT RIGHT NOW.

188
00:09:50,850 --> 00:09:52,528
HEY.

189
00:09:52,552 --> 00:09:55,201
CLARK, I'M NOT EXACTLY PSYCHED
ABOUT HAVING TO FIGHT MY WAY

190
00:09:55,225 --> 00:09:57,874
THROUGH THE HIGH SCHOOL
HIERARCHY ALL OVER AGAIN.

191
00:09:57,898 --> 00:10:01,908
YOU'RE GOING TO MISS ME, RIGHT?

192
00:10:01,932 --> 00:10:04,311
YOU EVEN HAVE TO ASK?

193
00:10:04,335 --> 00:10:07,583
JUST PROMISE ME SATURDAY
NIGHT'S GOING TO BE GREAT.

194
00:10:07,607 --> 00:10:11,241
IT'LL BE A NIGHT
YOU WON'T FORGET.

195
00:10:16,447 --> 00:10:19,326
I APPRECIATE YOU COMING.

196
00:10:19,350 --> 00:10:21,328
MY FATHER DOESN'T
KNOW ABOUT THIS MEETING,

197
00:10:21,352 --> 00:10:22,600
AND I'D LIKE TO
KEEP IT THAT WAY.

198
00:10:22,624 --> 00:10:25,462
WHEN I FIRST CAME HERE,

199
00:10:25,486 --> 00:10:28,005
PEOPLE ASSUMED I WAS JUST
ANOTHER GLARING EXAMPLE

200
00:10:28,029 --> 00:10:29,437
OF NEPOTISM...

201
00:10:29,461 --> 00:10:31,009
UNSKILLED AND
PROMOTED OVER THE HEADS

202
00:10:31,033 --> 00:10:32,571
OF THE MORE COMPETENT
AND DESERVING.

203
00:10:32,595 --> 00:10:33,873
BUT I'D LIKE TO THINK
THE PEOPLE IN THIS ROOM

204
00:10:33,897 --> 00:10:35,674
FEEL DIFFERENTLY.

205
00:10:35,698 --> 00:10:38,317
IF WE CAN RAISE THE CAPITAL
FOR AN EMPLOYEE-LED BUYOUT,

206
00:10:38,341 --> 00:10:40,720
WE CAN KEEP THE PLANT RUNNING.

207
00:10:40,744 --> 00:10:42,322
BUYOUT?

208
00:10:42,346 --> 00:10:43,984
I CAN RAISE NEARLY
90% OF THE CAPITAL.

209
00:10:44,008 --> 00:10:45,424
WHAT ABOUT THE REST?

210
00:10:45,448 --> 00:10:47,628
WE'RE SUPPOSED TO
MORTGAGE OUR HOUSES?

211
00:10:47,652 --> 00:10:49,288
IT'S A RISK, I KNOW,
BUT IN EXCHANGE,

212
00:10:49,312 --> 00:10:51,532
THE INVESTORS WILL
BECOME MINORITY OWNERS.

213
00:10:51,556 --> 00:10:53,533
DOESN'T YOUR FATHER
CONTROL THE BOARD?

214
00:10:53,557 --> 00:10:55,495
WHAT MAKES YOU THINK HE'S
GOING TO GO ALONG WITH A BUYOUT?

215
00:10:55,519 --> 00:10:57,739
I KNOW A COUPLE OF
MEMBERS I CAN CONVINCE,

216
00:10:57,763 --> 00:11:00,000
AND I DON'T NEED A
UNANIMOUS DECISION.

217
00:11:00,024 --> 00:11:02,003
I AM OFFERING YOU THE
CHANCE TO TAKE CONTROL

218
00:11:02,027 --> 00:11:03,674
OF YOUR OWN DESTINY.

219
00:11:03,698 --> 00:11:06,072
STAND WITH ME, AND WE'LL WIN.

220
00:11:23,450 --> 00:11:26,970
CLARK.

221
00:11:26,994 --> 00:11:29,527
OUT WANDERING THE
STREETS OF SMALLVILLE?

222
00:11:31,599 --> 00:11:33,506
WHAT IS IT?

223
00:11:33,530 --> 00:11:37,041
I JUST, UH, FOUND OUT THAT
CHLOE MIGHT BE LEAVING FOR GOOD.

224
00:11:37,065 --> 00:11:40,945
I'M NOT SURE I REALLY
BELIEVE IT'S TRUE.

225
00:11:40,969 --> 00:11:44,950
I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN.

226
00:11:44,974 --> 00:11:48,594
YOU DO?

227
00:11:48,618 --> 00:11:51,897
WHITNEY'S GOING OFF
TO JOIN THE MARINES.

228
00:11:51,921 --> 00:11:55,500
THAT'S INTENSE.

229
00:11:55,524 --> 00:11:58,735
HE TOLD ME HE
WAS DOING IT FOR US

230
00:11:58,759 --> 00:12:01,437
AND ASKED IF I'D WAIT FOR HIM.

231
00:12:01,461 --> 00:12:03,740
REALLY.

232
00:12:03,764 --> 00:12:08,575
WHAT DID YOU SAY?

233
00:12:08,599 --> 00:12:10,648
NOTHING.

234
00:12:10,672 --> 00:12:14,782
I KIND OF JUST STOOD
THERE IN STUNNED SILENCE.

235
00:12:14,806 --> 00:12:17,585
ONE DAY HE'S WORRIED
ABOUT HIS ENGLISH PAPER,

236
00:12:17,609 --> 00:12:20,682
AND THE NEXT, HE'S PUTTING ON A
UNIFORM AND SAVING THE WORLD.

237
00:12:22,585 --> 00:12:24,393
SO YOU DIDN'T COMMIT?

238
00:12:24,417 --> 00:12:28,496
I TOLD HIM I WASN'T SURE.

239
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,671
WHEN DOES HE HEAD OUT?

240
00:12:31,695 --> 00:12:36,570
SATURDAY NIGHT.

241
00:12:40,703 --> 00:12:42,706
I GUESS YOU DON'T HAVE TO
WORRY ABOUT YOUR DRESS.

242
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:47,918
I CAN'T BELIEVE BOTH
WHITNEY AND CHLOE

243
00:12:47,942 --> 00:12:50,390
ARE GOING TO BE
OUT OF OUR LIVES.

244
00:12:50,414 --> 00:12:53,894
ME NEITHER.

245
00:12:53,918 --> 00:12:56,851
GUESS WE GET LEFT BEHIND, CLARK.

246
00:14:21,913 --> 00:14:23,221
WHAT DO YOU THINK
CAUSED THE EXPLOSION?

247
00:14:23,245 --> 00:14:24,663
SON, MY GUESS IS IT
WAS A LEAKY FUEL LINE.

248
00:14:24,687 --> 00:14:25,865
THE FUME'S MUST'VE
IGNITED THE FERTILIZER

249
00:14:25,889 --> 00:14:27,596
IN THE BACK OF THE
TRUCK. I'M SORRY.

250
00:14:27,620 --> 00:14:29,197
I SHOULD'VE CHECKED IT BETTER.

251
00:14:29,221 --> 00:14:30,970
I'M JUST GLAD I WAS IN THE
CAB AND NOT ONE OF YOU GUYS.

252
00:14:30,994 --> 00:14:32,532
OH, SWEETHEART. THE TRUTH IS,

253
00:14:32,556 --> 00:14:35,205
I BARELY FELT THE
HEAT THIS TIME,

254
00:14:35,229 --> 00:14:37,932
AND THE DEBRIS DIDN'T
LEAVE ANY BRUISES.

255
00:14:39,302 --> 00:14:42,937
AS YOU GET OLDER, YOUR BODY
MUST BE GETTING STRONGER.

256
00:15:01,326 --> 00:15:05,136
WHAT... YOU'RE NOT
IN A HURRY TO PACK?

257
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,570
THAT'S BECAUSE I'M NOT LEAVING.

258
00:15:07,594 --> 00:15:10,943
ACCEPT YOUR FATE,
LEX. IT'S TIME TO MOVE ON.

259
00:15:10,967 --> 00:15:13,846
I'M FORCING A VOTE OF
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

260
00:15:13,870 --> 00:15:16,580
TO ACCEPT AN EMPLOYEE
BUYOUT OF THE PLANT.

261
00:15:16,604 --> 00:15:18,581
HA HA HA HA! WHAT
ARE YOU GOING TO DO,

262
00:15:18,605 --> 00:15:21,054
CONVINCE THE EMPLOYEES TO
TAKE OUT A SECOND MORTGAGE,

263
00:15:21,078 --> 00:15:23,586
CASH IN THEIR IRAs?

264
00:15:23,610 --> 00:15:25,259
SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

265
00:15:25,283 --> 00:15:27,191
EVEN IF YOU SELL ALL YOUR STOCK

266
00:15:27,215 --> 00:15:29,033
AND DRAIN YOUR TRUST FUND,

267
00:15:29,057 --> 00:15:31,095
YOU STILL COME UP SHORT, LEX.

268
00:15:31,119 --> 00:15:33,567
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO
ABOUT THE REST OF THE MONEY, HMM?

269
00:15:33,591 --> 00:15:36,240
TAKE THE BUYOUT NOW AND
YOU CAN KEEP YOUR DIGNITY.

270
00:15:36,264 --> 00:15:38,342
IT'S MORE THAN YOU LEFT ME.

271
00:15:38,366 --> 00:15:40,345
THAT'S VERY
GRACIOUS OF YOU, SON.

272
00:15:40,369 --> 00:15:44,334
YOU MIGHT WANT TO
LOOK AT THIS FIRST.

273
00:15:51,611 --> 00:15:53,820
YOU'VE BOUGHT THE
SMALLVILLE SAVINGS AND LOAN.

274
00:15:53,844 --> 00:15:55,822
GO AHEAD. LEAD YOUR BUYOUT,

275
00:15:55,846 --> 00:15:58,664
BUT REMEMBER, I OWN YOUR
EMPLOYEES' MORTGAGES.

276
00:15:58,688 --> 00:16:01,028
AS SOON AS THEY BEGIN
MISSING PAYMENTS,

277
00:16:01,052 --> 00:16:04,270
I WON'T HESITATE TO FORECLOSE
ON EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THEM.

278
00:16:04,294 --> 00:16:07,605
THEY'LL BE HOMELESS,
AND IT'LL BE YOUR FAULT.

279
00:16:07,629 --> 00:16:11,339
YOU READY TO ACCEPT
THAT KIND OF RESPONSIBILITY?

280
00:16:11,363 --> 00:16:13,611
IF YOU'RE GOING
TO TAKE ME ON, SON,

281
00:16:13,635 --> 00:16:16,684
YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE
TO BRING YOUR GAME UP

282
00:16:16,708 --> 00:16:20,188
TO A WHOLE DIFFERENT LEVEL.

283
00:16:20,212 --> 00:16:22,020
CHLOE, WHERE HAVE
YOU BEEN ALL DAY?

284
00:16:22,044 --> 00:16:24,293
I JUST WENT TO PICK UP MY
DRESS. WE HAVE A PROBLEM.

285
00:16:24,317 --> 00:16:26,325
YOU CAN'T GO. I JUST
CAN'T PICK YOU UP.

286
00:16:26,349 --> 00:16:28,357
MY TRANSPORTATION
KIND OF WENT UP IN FLAMES.

287
00:16:28,381 --> 00:16:30,360
I WAS GOING TO ASK LEX IF
I COULD BORROW HIS LIMO,

288
00:16:30,384 --> 00:16:32,361
BUT WITH ALL THE
PLANT CRAZINESS...

289
00:16:32,385 --> 00:16:35,164
CLARK, I'll DRIVE. THAT RUINS
THE WHOLE PRINCE CHARMING VIBE.

290
00:16:35,188 --> 00:16:37,366
CINDERELLA WAS NEVER
REALLY MY ROLE MODEL.

291
00:16:37,390 --> 00:16:40,070
I DON'T KNOW, MAN. IT'S
JUST SOMETHING I GOT TO DO.

292
00:16:40,094 --> 00:16:43,744
SO, WHITNEY'S OFF TO
FIGHT EVIL FOR UNCLE SAM.

293
00:16:43,768 --> 00:16:45,176
I HEARD.

294
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:48,048
THAT TECHNICALLY
MAKES LANA A FREE AGENT.

295
00:16:48,072 --> 00:16:50,181
HE ASKED HER TO WAIT FOR HIM.

296
00:16:50,205 --> 00:16:53,225
LONG-DISTANCE
RELATIONSHIPS NEVER WORK.

297
00:16:53,249 --> 00:16:55,326
PEOPLE CHANGE, HAVE
DIFFERENT EXPERIENCES.

298
00:16:55,350 --> 00:16:57,129
IT'S KIND OF LIKE US, YOU KNOW?

299
00:16:57,153 --> 00:16:58,860
I'M SURE, AFTER A
COUPLE OF WEEKS,

300
00:16:58,884 --> 00:17:00,361
YOU'LL FORGET ALL ABOUT ME.

301
00:17:00,385 --> 00:17:03,796
CHLOE.

302
00:17:03,820 --> 00:17:06,399
OKAY, I JUST... I HAVE
THIS HORRIBLE NIGHTMARE

303
00:17:06,423 --> 00:17:08,370
THAT YOU ARE GOING TO
RUSH TO THE BUS STATION

304
00:17:08,394 --> 00:17:11,303
AFTER WHITNEY LEAVES AND
PROFESS YOUR UNDYING LOVE FOR LANA,

305
00:17:11,327 --> 00:17:13,706
AND I'M GOING TO BE WAITING
AT THE GYM ALL ALONE,

306
00:17:13,730 --> 00:17:15,748
AND IF YOU DO THAT TO ME, CLARK,

307
00:17:15,772 --> 00:17:18,181
I WILL NEVER SPEAK
TO YOU AGAIN... OKAY?

308
00:17:18,205 --> 00:17:20,838
CHLOE.

309
00:17:28,446 --> 00:17:30,725
I'M GOING TO THE DANCE
WITH YOU, NOT BY DEFAULT,

310
00:17:30,749 --> 00:17:33,427
BUT BECAUSE I WANT TO.

311
00:17:33,451 --> 00:17:35,493
ALL RIGHT, I FEEL BETTER NOW.

312
00:17:42,132 --> 00:17:44,439
IF I COULD JUST HAVE ONE
MINUTE OF YOUR TIME, CLARK...

313
00:17:44,463 --> 00:17:46,842
HOW DO YOU KNOW MY NAME?

314
00:17:46,866 --> 00:17:49,386
ROGER NIXON. I'M A JOURNALIST
WITH THE "INQUISITOR,"

315
00:17:49,410 --> 00:17:52,448
AND I WOULD VERY MUCH LIKE
TO WRITE A STORY ABOUT YOU.

316
00:17:52,472 --> 00:17:55,252
THANKS. BUT I'M
REALLY NOT INTERESTED.

317
00:17:55,276 --> 00:17:58,856
WHY WEREN'T YOU
HURT IN THAT EXPLOSION?

318
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:02,330
YOU WERE IN THE
TRUCK ON THE FARM.

319
00:18:02,354 --> 00:18:04,062
I WAS NOWHERE NEAR THAT TRUCK.

320
00:18:04,086 --> 00:18:06,363
Lex: AM I MISSING
SOMETHING INTERESTING?

321
00:18:06,387 --> 00:18:08,529
LEX?

322
00:18:09,991 --> 00:18:12,970
YOU KNOW MY NAME,
BUT I DON'T KNOW YOURS.

323
00:18:12,994 --> 00:18:16,774
ROGER NIXON. I WORK
FOR THE "INQUISITOR."

324
00:18:16,798 --> 00:18:18,947
WHEN IS SOMEONE GOING TO PUT
THAT BAD EXCUSE FOR A TABLOID

325
00:18:18,971 --> 00:18:21,020
OUT OF ITS MISERY?

326
00:18:21,044 --> 00:18:25,284
IT WAS NICE MEETING YOU, LEX.

327
00:18:25,308 --> 00:18:28,882
I'M SURE WE'LL TALK
AGAIN SOON, CLARK.

328
00:18:32,957 --> 00:18:35,466
WHAT WAS THAT ALL ABOUT?

329
00:18:35,490 --> 00:18:37,537
HE WANTS TO DO A STORY ON ME.

330
00:18:37,561 --> 00:18:39,770
MAKE ME OUT TO BE
SOME KIND OF HERO.

331
00:18:39,794 --> 00:18:41,441
THE "INQUISITOR"
IS A RAG, CLARK.

332
00:18:41,465 --> 00:18:44,374
IF I WERE YOU, I WOULDN'T
GET MIXED UP WITH HIM.

333
00:18:44,398 --> 00:18:47,948
I DON'T INTEND TO.

334
00:18:47,972 --> 00:18:50,051
IF HE GIVES YOU
ANY MORE TROUBLE,

335
00:18:50,075 --> 00:18:52,337
LET ME KNOW.

336
00:19:06,053 --> 00:19:07,595
HI, SON.

337
00:19:10,027 --> 00:19:11,905
SOMETHING WRONG?

338
00:19:11,929 --> 00:19:13,907
A JOURNALIST FROM
THE "INQUISITOR"

339
00:19:13,931 --> 00:19:16,880
WANTS TO DO A STORY ON ME.

340
00:19:16,904 --> 00:19:19,043
HE KNOWS I WAS IN THE TRUCK.

341
00:19:19,067 --> 00:19:20,915
I DON'T THINK IT
