This is not about a computer.
515
00:37:13,716 --> 00:37:14,740
What's wrong?
516
00:37:16,954 --> 00:37:18,546
Nothing.
517
00:37:19,390 --> 00:37:21,415
Really, I'm fine.
518
00:37:25,064 --> 00:37:27,624
I apologize if I've been
a little off my game lately.
519
00:37:27,801 --> 00:37:29,860
It's just that, after
my divorce, Brainiac...
520
00:37:30,037 --> 00:37:32,835
and playing Watchtower to a
bunch of needy superheroes...
521
00:37:33,008 --> 00:37:35,101
I forget that I need
to be all smiles.
522
00:37:35,278 --> 00:37:38,873
Chloe, no one expects you to bounce
back from everything you've been through.
523
00:37:40,551 --> 00:37:43,452
I just want you to know I'm
here for you, if you need me.
524
00:37:45,023 --> 00:37:46,684
I know.
525
00:37:49,162 --> 00:37:52,563
But right now, I really just
need a little bit of space.
526
00:37:53,434 --> 00:37:55,698
Not a super save, okay?
527
00:38:14,461 --> 00:38:16,292
[SIGHS]
528
00:38:33,019 --> 00:38:37,854
When am I gonna learn a wild goose chase
for a story usually ends with a rotten egg?
529
00:38:40,028 --> 00:38:42,826
[TELEPHONE RINGING NEARBY]
530
00:38:58,986 --> 00:39:00,283
Hello?
531
00:39:00,455 --> 00:39:03,253
MAN [IN DEEP VOICE OVER
PHONE]: Is this Lois Lane the reporter?
532
00:39:03,459 --> 00:39:04,949
Who wants to know?
533
00:39:05,128 --> 00:39:07,756
This is the red-blue blur.
534
00:39:12,571 --> 00:39:14,163
Yeah, right.
535
00:39:14,340 --> 00:39:19,141
How do I know you're not some wannabe
with a lot of time on his creepy hands?
536
00:39:19,313 --> 00:39:21,304
[WHOOSH]
537
00:39:21,483 --> 00:39:23,144
Look down.
538
00:39:29,493 --> 00:39:34,021
I received your
letter, Ms. Lane.
539
00:39:34,199 --> 00:39:36,724
Call me Lois if you want.
540
00:39:36,902 --> 00:39:39,803
And do you wanna weigh in
on the whole red-blue blur thing?
541
00:39:39,973 --> 00:39:42,703
Because it's kind of a
mouthful on this end.
542
00:39:43,277 --> 00:39:46,371
I think there's probably
a better name out there.
543
00:39:47,250 --> 00:39:51,380
And if there's anyone who
can find it, it's you, Ms. Lane.
544
00:39:52,890 --> 00:39:54,790
I'll put my best men on it.
545
00:39:54,959 --> 00:39:58,326
By men I mean me. I work in the
basement and employ pretty much no one...
546
00:39:58,497 --> 00:40:00,226
unless you count my intern.
547
00:40:00,667 --> 00:40:02,897
[OVER PHONE] I'm
sorry, I'm rambling.
548
00:40:03,838 --> 00:40:04,862
You're nervous.
549
00:40:06,107 --> 00:40:08,166
Can you read my mind?
550
00:40:08,710 --> 00:40:10,905
It's Saturday night, I
hightailed it down here.
551
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:14,015
Because I have one
obsession right now and it's you.
552
00:40:14,185 --> 00:40:16,385
And when you didn't respond
to my sky writing, I just...
553
00:40:16,487 --> 00:40:18,647
CLARK [IN DEEP VOICE]:
That was a nice one, by the way.
554
00:40:19,826 --> 00:40:23,660
Between you and me, I could
use a little work on that subtle thing.
555
00:40:23,831 --> 00:40:26,425
There's nothing wrong
with taking your job seriously.
556
00:40:28,736 --> 00:40:31,864
There is when you don't
know who you'd be without it.
557
00:40:32,041 --> 00:40:35,340
CLARK: Something tells me you
know yourself better than you think.
558
00:40:38,182 --> 00:40:42,084
Lois, you're a great
reporter all on your own.
559
00:40:42,956 --> 00:40:45,948
You don't need a hero or some
gimmick to make a headline.
560
00:40:46,125 --> 00:40:47,285
LOIS: Thanks.
561
00:40:48,162 --> 00:40:52,997
My editor would kill me,
but I don't want this story.
562
00:40:53,736 --> 00:40:56,398
What I've really
been wondering is...
563
00:40:56,807 --> 00:40:58,536
what is it that you need?
564
00:40:59,109 --> 00:41:01,737
You've dedicated your
life to a city full of strangers.
565
00:41:01,913 --> 00:41:05,280
I'm not saying that I know
what it's like to be a hero...
566
00:41:06,019 --> 00:41:10,149
but even the fastest blur in
the world can't outrun loneliness.
567
00:41:11,859 --> 00:41:13,554
I guess what I'm saying is...
568
00:41:15,564 --> 00:41:20,263
if you ever wanna talk,
totally off the record...
569
00:41:20,704 --> 00:41:22,137
I'm only a phone call away.
570
00:41:24,009 --> 00:41:26,136
I'll keep that in mind.
571
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:32,684
And, Lois, when I'm ready to tell the world
my secret, you'll be the first to know.
