507
00:39:40,501 --> 00:39:42,628
Thanks for showing
up when you did.
508
00:39:44,039 --> 00:39:46,269
I guess you could
say you saved my life.
509
00:39:46,940 --> 00:39:48,305
Tell me about it.
510
00:39:48,474 --> 00:39:52,706
If I hadn't severed your love connection,
you would've ended up like her other dates.
511
00:39:54,778 --> 00:39:57,338
You know, she said
some weird things to me.
512
00:39:58,414 --> 00:39:59,472
Really?
513
00:40:00,650 --> 00:40:02,413
She said she was my soul mate.
514
00:40:04,685 --> 00:40:09,122
I think you can do a little bit better
than a man-eating meteor freak.
515
00:40:09,956 --> 00:40:14,689
I know she's not the one,
but it got me to thinking.
516
00:40:16,327 --> 00:40:19,194
Chloe showed me this love
letter she wrote to me years ago.
517
00:40:19,363 --> 00:40:22,855
And her feelings
were really intense.
518
00:40:24,733 --> 00:40:28,260
And Chloe was right there in front of
me and I never realized how she felt.
519
00:40:30,436 --> 00:40:33,894
What if my soul mate comes
along and I'm too blind to see it?
520
00:40:36,441 --> 00:40:37,601
I don't know, Smallville.
521
00:40:37,775 --> 00:40:43,543
I think that when the right girl
walks into your life, you'll know.
522
00:40:47,147 --> 00:40:48,637
What did Maxima say to you?
523
00:40:52,051 --> 00:40:54,110
Nothing for the front page.
524
00:40:54,986 --> 00:40:58,114
Well, I gotta go. I'm meeting with
a Realtor, finding my own place.
525
00:40:58,289 --> 00:41:01,952
Those lovebirds are so sweet,
my teeth will rot if I don't move out.
526
00:41:02,125 --> 00:41:04,150
Hey, Lois, um...
527
00:41:05,194 --> 00:41:07,856
You were right. This
house is pretty big.
528
00:41:09,397 --> 00:41:11,729
If you want your old
room back, it's yours.
529
00:41:13,333 --> 00:41:17,326
Being housemates didn't work
out for us the first time, Smallville.
530
00:41:17,503 --> 00:41:19,300
Why tempt fate?
