Lois: You know, the music search engine needs a tune-up you guys okay?
Group: Chug! Chug! Chug!
Lois: You
want a cracker to help keep it down?
Dave: Come on. Let’s go, let’s
go. Drink! Now.
[ Cheering ]
[ Whooping and hollering ]
Lois: Now, do you believe me? This isn't suzy
sorority you're playing with. I've drunk vodka with Russian
Generals,
black and tans with British battalion troops --
Dave: Stop talking. Start
drinking.
Geoff: What are you doing man?
Dave: Drinking
Geoff: We've got physicals coming up.
Dave: Ask me if I give a rat's
ass.
Lois: Stop stalling, and let's go. 
Drink up, or pay up.
GeoffL All right,
let's get everybody out of here, all right? I got to wake up
brutally
early tomorrow. The recruit's coming. Dude, you've had enough.
Dave: I'm not
even tipsy, asswipe
Geoff: Come on, let's get you into bed.
Dave: Leave me alone, Johns
Lois: Deep breaths... fresh air.
The world is not spinning.
Dave: Hey, wait up.
Lois: Shouldn't you be in
pink elephant land right about now?
Dave: I got another game for you. Only this
time, we both win. Come on, give me some.
Lois: I've got a game for you,
football. It's called hide-and-go seek. You go hide, and
I'll count to a
billion. Ready, set, go.
Dave: Aw, come on! Don't be like that! 
Lois: You got a girlfriend, bonehead.
Go bug her.
Dave: Come on!
Lois: Now, don't you think hide-and-seek would've been a
little more fun?
Dave: That hurt.
Lois: Night-night, party boy.
[ Knock on door ]
[ Knock knock knock ]
Lois: Go away. Please, god...
[ Knocking continues ]
Lois: Whoever is pounding on a dorm room door at
7:00 in the morning --
Officer: Lois Lane?
Lois: Do you mind not talking so loud?
Officer: There's been a report that you had an altercation last
night with Dave Cooper.
Lois: If "altercation" is defined as "jock attacks, and I knock the
wind out of him," yeah, I confess.
Officer: The boy is paralyzed. You're under
arrest.
( train whistle blows )
Jonathan: I realize I already gave you my
blessing on this, Clark, and I don't want to lie to you. This
whole
thing makes me feel uneasy.
Clark: Dad, we've been watching Met U. football
games since I can remember. Now they're knocking on my door.
Jonathan: I know
that, and I'm proud of you for it.
Clark: Then why can't I have a shot 
at what every other high school
kid dreams of?
Jonathan: Because you're not like every other high school kid,
Clark.
Clark: On that field I am. I'm not even using my abilities...
and I can
be the new starting quarterback for the Metropolis Bulldogs.
Jonathan: There's
gonna be millions of eyes on you. You're gonna be under a
magnifying
glass.
Clark: I have pulled it off before.
Jonathan: Clark, Met U. is not like Smallville High. It's a
much bigger stage. There's gonna be much bigger
problems. 
Clark: You always told me not to walk
away from something just because it's a challenge. Dad, I can do
this.
Jonathan: I know that you can handle it. I also know you'll
behave yourself this
weekend... stay clear of the beer kegs.
Clark: Don't worry. Alcohol can't
affect me, remember?
Jonathan: That's not the point. You're still underage.
Look,
son, I just don't want you to get booted out before you get in. All
right?
Clark: Okay.
Jonathan: Now, there's 
one more thing. It's very
important. This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Have a great time.
Geoff: Clark Kent... future Met U. Hall of Famer?
Jonathan: Hey. What's the Teflon Tailback doing back in town?
Geoff: Hey, Mr. Kent. Coach Calloway wanted to
surprise Clark, send a local boy to pick him up.
Clark: Well, it definitely
worked. I would've never expected to see the Bulldogs' all-time leading
rusher in my barn.
Geoff: Hey, I'm no different than you, Clark. I'm just a farm boy who happens
to
be a decent football player.
Jonathan: "Decent football player." You're on your
way to the N.F.L, and you're quite the legend at Smallville High.
Geoff: Yeah,
well, your boy broke my record for single season T.D's.
Jonathan: Yeah
Geoff: You got what it
takes, Clark.
Clark: You really think so?
Geoff: I know so. You got a heckuv a
ride ahead of you, but the thing that's gonna keep you level-headed is
remembering where you come from... like Smallville High. You wanna go
say hi to Coach Quigley?
Clark: Sure.
Lois: He was no prince
charming, but nobody
deserves to have that happen to them. He can't even speak.
I feel
terrible.
Chloe: Lois, it doesn't take an M.D. to know that a kick to the gut
is not gonna cause head-to-toe paralysis.
Lois: I hope the judge
agrees. Otherwise, I'm gonna be 
the star of my very own woman in
prison movie.
Chloe: How did you post bail?
Lois: Four very good friends of mine -- Visa, Mastercard, American
Express, and Discover. Chloe, I didn't
know where else to go.
Chloe: And lucky for you, I'm on my way to Met U. for my
financial aid pitch. Why don't we just, um,round-trip together,
and
we'll figure this thing out?
Clark: Lois, I heard what happened.
Lois: I see
news travels fast.
Clark: The guy you put in the hospital is Geoff's roommate.
Lois: Clark, I swear to god, all I did was knock the wind out of
him. I
couldn't have paralyzed him.
Clark: You were drinking, right?
Lois: Those days are
over. No more alcohol. And that includes cough syrup and rum
cakes. 
[ Bell rings]
Lois: Aspirin, anyone?
Chloe: Torch desk drawer on the left-hand
side.
Clark: Listen, Chloe, I know that we were supposed to drive to Met
U. today, but since Geoff is here, I was just gonna --
Yeah. No, I understand. Star
quarterback, you don't wanna ride with the common folk.
Clark: You know it's
not like that.
Chloe: It's fine, Clark. Hey, uh, Clark, I'm actually kind of
surprised that you took the football route.
Clark: Why?
Chloe: Well -- I don't know,
it just seems like you have kind of an unfair advantage.
Clark: What do you
mean?
Chloe: Well, you have all of these truly amazing talents, um, you
know,on
the field...
Clark: Well, you know, that's the way it is in sports. Some
people
are better than others. 
Chloe: Right. I guess I just don't
understand as much as I thought I did. About football.
Clark: Chloe --
Geoff: Let's
go, C.K. The festivities are about to begin.
Lex: I take it
you've contemplated my job offer.
Jason: It wasn't a hard decision to make.
Lex: I
forgot to mention, a company car is included as well as a
generous expense account.
Jason: I'm not gonna work for somebody whose mission
it is is to break me and my girlfriend up.
Lex: Jason... my only concern is Lana's welfare. But you're not
the threat I'm worried about. It's your
mother. Did you ever find it strange that every summer as a child
she
took you on treks to the far reaches of the globe? 
Destinations where there
wasn't
even running water.
Jason: My mother likes to travel. She always has.
Lex: Those
weren't vacations, Jason. They were research trips --
investigating a
woman who was burned at the stake 400 years ago.
Jason: Margaret Isobel Theroux?
Lex: The countess whose spirit possessed your girlfriend.
And the fact that it happened soon after you and your mother came into
Lana's life, well... that bothers me. That bothers me a lot.
Jason: I had
nothing to do with that. I would never put Lana in jeopardy.
Lex: And I
believe you, or I wouldn't offer you this job.
Jason: What exactly is it that
you want me to do?
Lex: I have deep pockets, Jason. Vast resources. But the
one thing I don't have is access. Two women in your life are somehow intimately connected
to Margaret Isobel Theroux. I want you to find out everything
they
know.
Jason: So, what, you want me to spy on them?
Lex: How you get the
information is up to you. Now I need an answer.
Lois: Coop. Can you hear
me?
It's Lois, your, um, drinking buddy. I am so sorry this happened
to you,
but I swear to god, I didn't do it. Last night, I would've given
anything to shut him
up.And now...
Chloe: Come on, Lois. We gotta get outta here before someone sees
you.
Lois: Maybe someone close to Coop knows somethingwe don't.
Chloe: Lois, I... I
don't think that Grandma Betty from Topeka is gonna have the answer.
Lois: But
his girlfriend Monique might.
Chloe: How do you know it's his girlfriend?
Lois: When
the card ends with "I'll love youforever and ever," it's a bit of a
giveaway.
Clark: This truck looks like it can do everything but take off and
fly.
Geoff: Hey, check it out. You hit this button... the operator's
there to
help you out with whatever you need --atm locations, movie times, you
name it.
Clark: That's pretty cool.
Geoff: Yeah, I hear next year's model is even
sweeter. Unless you want something sportier.
Clark: What, you're saying I get a
truck like this 
if I come here to play?
Geoff: Let's
just say certain alumniare nice enough to loan their athletes
rides.
Clark, college football is big business. I mean, you get a
lot, but they
expect a lot in return. You have to be better than good. You have
to be
a hero out there. Yeah, I thought you might want to see where
you're gonna
be spending your Saturdays.
Cheerleaders: Clark Kent, quarterback he's a Bulldog, that's a fact,
Clark Kent, quarterback, he's a Bulldog, that's a fact, Clark Kent,
quarterback, he's a Bulldog, that's a fact, Clark Kent, quarterback
Man on P.A.: Ladies and gentlemen, playing
quarterback for your Metropolis Bulldogs, from Smallville, Kansas --
number 8, Clark Kent!
Geoff: It's pretty cool, huh?
Clark: That's an
understatement.
Geoff: Get used to it, buddy. It's just the beginning.
Coach: The
golden arm of Kansas has arrived. It's a pleasure to meet
you, son.
Clark: Coach, it's a pleasure to meet you. I know a lot of other
schools are
coming at you, Clark. But you go with Met U., and you're gonna
win a national championship.
Clark: Sounds good to me. 
Coach: Try this on for size.
Clark: Coach,
thanks.
Coach: I know you're gonna make the right decision, son.
Gary: Clark, Gary Bergen --Metro Motors. On behalf of the Bulldog
Booster Club, welcome to Met U. If there is anything that you
need, you know where to call.
Geoff: Everybody wants a winning team, Clark... it's guys like me and
you that
make it happen.
Clark: Wow, this is amazing.
Geoff: Dude, you haven't seen nothing yet.
Girl: Hi,
clark!
Geoff: The tri alphas are big football fans.
Clark: Yeah?
Girl: So, we did a little detective work and found out that your favorite
flavor was chocolate. So we made you cake.
Clark: Why, you didn't have to
go through all that trouble. 
Girl: Anything we can do to help
you commit to Met U., Clark. How about a tour of the house?
Clark: Uh... sure.
Geoff: Go ahead, C.K. take your time. I'll see you back at the dorm.
Clark: So you two
roommates?
Girl: Um...no. My roommate's on her way to visit Coop at the
hospital. He's her boyfriend.
Clark: Oh.
Girl #2: Clark? From what we hear, not only do
you have an incredible arm, you've got great hands.
Clark: Really? Somebody
said that to you about me?
Girl: Clark...
Clark: Um, you've got a great view out this
window.
Girl: Yeah, if you like brick walls.
Girl: Let me show you 
an even better view.
Clark: I meant the
ivy.
[ Tapping noise ]
Girl: What was that?
Clark: Let me go check it out. Uh...some
sweatersfell down... in there. Um, could I -- could I get
something to drink?
Girl: Um...yeah. Sure.
Clark: And maybe something to eat? Lois,
what are you doing here?
Lois: I could ask you the same question, but it
seems fairly obvious... Hef.
Clark: What, you just break into people's places
now?
Lois: Coop's girlfriend wasn't here, so I thought I'd take a look
around. A real page-turner. "I gained two pounds. From now on, it's no
carbs." She's no Hemingway, but still -- 
Clark: I don't have time for this.
Lois: Here
it is. "Coop is meeting with a newspaper reporter and being
super-secretive. It has something to do with the football team, but I
don't know what it is."
[ Girls giggling outside ]
Clark: Go, go, go, go, go, go!
Lois: I'm going.
[ Giggling ]
Girl: Clark... would you like a pieceof this?
Clark: I...
Geoff: Hi. Hey, buddy.
Feeling better? I see it's starting to wear off.
Coop: [ Grunts ]
Geoff: Eventually, you're gonna be able to talk. And when you do, you're gonna
tell the world about me... like you were gonna do before I stopped you. 
<>
[ Gasping ]
Geoff: Shh... I'm sorry, Coop.
[ Heart monitor flatlines ]
Clark: I thought I told you to wait outside.
Lois: I don't do well with waiting,
especially when I'm awaiting trial. I want to hear what Geoff knows.
Speaking of geoff...
Clark: Hey. You've, uh, met my friend Lois.
Geoff: Coach just
called. Coop's dead, Clark.
Lois: Oh, my god.
Clark: When?
Geoff: An hour ago. His
vitals were getting better, and then the doctor said he just stopped
breathing.
Lois: Look, Geoff, we know Coop was going to the newspaper about
something involving the football team. 
Clark: Lois, I don't think this is the
best time --
Lois: And when would be the best time, Clark -- when I'm on the
chain gang?
Clark: I'm sorry. She's under a lot of stress lately.
Lois: No. Stress is
when you're stuck in traffic, or you have a midterm for a class you've
never been to. I'm out on bail, and looking to be locked up for
manslaughter.
Geoff: Clark, can I talk to you for a second?
Lois: Look... I'm sorry
about Coop. I really am. But if you have something to say about me, say
it to my face, because I have this little pet peeve about people
talking behind my back.
Clark: Lois... please. I'll catch up with you later.
Geoff: I
can't tell you how to pick your friends, Clark, but that chick seems like
trouble.
Clark: I'm startingto figure that out. 
Geoff: Yeah, it's probably best if you
tell her not to come around here. She's done enough damage already.
Lana: I
can't believe that you would even consider working for him.
Jason: It's not
that black and white.
Lana: I think it is. Investigating the Countess Theroux?
It's all a ruse.
Jason: Lana, the more Lex uses me, the more I get to use him
and find out what he really knows.
Lana: But that's just more secrets and more
lies, and at some point, it's all gonna blow up in our faces.
Jason: Well,
unfortunately, when dealing with people like Lex and my mother, honesty
isn't necessarily the way to go.
Lana: It doesn't matter. I am done lying. I
can't go along with this.
Jason: We've hit a brick wall. Our research with the Countess is
going nowhere. This mightbe our way of breaking through.
Lana: Or
their way of breaking us up.
Jason: I'm not gonna let that happen. 
Trust me.
Lana: How can I trust
someone who's willing to lie for a living? As far as I'm concerned, if
you think that Lex knows something, then there's only one way to find
out.
Lana: Who the hell do you think you are?
Lex: Is something bothering you, Lana?
Lana: If you wanna know something about me, Lex? Ask. Don't go recruitingmy
boyfriend... to conduct some covert investigation.
Lex: Contrary to what you
may think, I'm on your side.
Lana: And how would iknow that? With you,
everything seems like it's a secret.
Lex: What you may perceive as secrecy, I
see as precautions.
Lana: I'm a big girl, Lex. I don't need precautions. I
need the truth.
Lex: Sometimes, we think we want the truth until we actually
get it. 
Lana, if you want me to be honest
with you, I will, but you're not gonna like it.
Lana: If you're gonna feed
me some story about Jason, I'm not interested.
Lex: Look, I understand he
means a lot to you, but when you're ready to talk, let me know. You can
let yourself out.
Geoff: Coop was more than justa great football player. He
was a great guy. He cared a lotabout what was right and what was wrong.
Well... to Coop.
Everyone: Coop
Geoff: Well, he would've wanted a
party, so... let's give him a party. You're not drinking? What's the
matter? You never had a beer before?
Clark: Sure I have. 
Geoff: Yeah, right. I know where you're
coming from, C.K. but all that's gonna change.
Clark: Don't you think you
should slow down a little bit?
Geoff: Kent, you're from the same town as me,
so... I'm gonna be straight with you. Being a Bulldogis a dream come
true, but you're in the pressure cooker now. All they want is a winner.
It takes a toll on you. Um... sit tight. Be right back, okay? What the hellare you doing here? I told you before,
Marcus, you and me, we meet in private.
Marcus: I'm bringing the urine sample
by.
Geoff: Oh, that's a great idea, bring it to my buddy's wake.
Marcus: Well, you said
you were gonna pay me today.
Geoff: I told you, never come to me. I come to you.
We'll meet tomorrow.
Marcus: You said you'd pay me today, man. I need my money.
Geoff: Just --just get out of here.
Marcus: What just happened to me?
Geoff: I don't know, man. You fell over or something.
I don't know. Don't worry about it. Drink up, Kent. To Coop.
Lois: Chloe, if
you're trying to milk any money out of this University, you may not want
to be seen within 100 feet of me.
Chloe: Lois, you're innocent,and this autopsy
is more than likely going to prove that.
Lois: Your father's birth city? What,
are you applying for financial aid or to the C.I.A.?
Chloe: I know.
[ Knock on
door ]
Lois: Hey, Clark. Is something wrong?
Clark: I think Geoff Jones paralyzed Coop.
Lois: What?
Clark: He's passing his physicals by using another student's urine
samples.
Lois: Black market pee? What's he trying to cover up, 
drugs?
Clark: I don't think so. I
think it's something else. I just saw him touch this kid, and he put
him straight to the ground like he hit him with a stun gun. And the
linebackers --they always say when they get stiff-armed by Geoff Jones,
they don't know what hit them. They go down to the turf every time. I
think he has a meteor power.
Lois: Using your powers on the field to cheat,
it's pathetic, but it's not paralyzing someone.
Clark: What if he can control
the intensity when he stuns someone?
Lois: If that's true, you're gonnahave
to find a way to prove it, because nobody outside the Smallville city
limits is going to believe the Bulldog superstar has superhuman powers.
Chloe: The pee peddler may know the truth about geoff.
Clark: Can you track him
down?
Chloe: Yeah.
Clark: I'm gonna goto the football dorm. 
I'gonna try to find Geoff before
he can hurt someone else.
Lois: Time to see what Mr. Peebody knows.
Chloe: I'm gonna
go door-to-door in the dorm and see if I can get any insight into the
real Geoff Johns.
Lois: Excuse me. Do you know where a person can get some
clean number one around here?
Marcus: I don't know what you're talking about.
Lois: Don't play dumb with me, Pee-Wee. Either you tell me everything you know
about Geoff Johns, or I'm gonna have to --
Geoff: You wanna know about me? Ask
away.
Lois: Um, I'm just curious. Do yout hink you're
gonna be drafted to the Sharks? 'Cause I'm a huge fan.
Geoff: So why are you talking to Marcus? What do
you really want to know?
Lois: Nothing, I swear. Just what I asked you. I guess
I'm gonna have to wait and see like everyone else. Bye.
Geoff: Look, I never
wanted to use my powers. In high school, I played ball fair and square,
but now, there's just... too much pressure to win.
Chloe: Lois! I need your
passto get in the dorm! Lois? Lois!
Chloe: Clark, Clark, I think Geoff has Lois.
Clark: Where?
Chloe: I don't
know, but we were in the parking lot, and the next thing I knew, Geoff
Johns' car is flying by, and Lois is gone. I tried to talk to the
campus
police, but they weren't any help. To them, Geoff is like a hero.
They
worship the ground he walks on. Lois could be anywhereby now,
Clark.
Clark: No,
if they're in his car, there might be a way to track them down.
Chloe: I hate
to break it to you, but this is a little bit bigger city than Smallville.
Clark: He got his car from a Booster at Metropolis Motors. It's got
a trip star system in it. If we can get the P.I.N. number, we can
use your cell phone and computer to maybe hack in and find outwhere they
are.
Chloe: Okay, but then how are we gonna get the P.I.N.? They keep those
things under lock and key at the dealership. What are you gonna do
--break in and rip open the safe?
Clark: Of course not. 
Geoff: Don't worry. It'll be quick. I'm
so sorry. I-I never meant to hurt anyone. But I don't have a choice.
Clark: Are
we in yet?
Chloe: Yeah, all we gotta do is dial up, use the code, and do our
best impression of Geoff Johns. You know, that was, um, a pretty quick
errand Clark. I mean, Metro Motors is all the way on the other side of
the city.
Clark: I hurried.
Woman: Hello, Mr. Johns. How can I help you? 
[ Deeper ]
Clark: Hello, Hi um, I'm driving in Metropolis, and I seem to
have made a wrong turn. There's no street signs,and my map screen is
broken. Could you tell mewhere I am?
Woman: No problem, sir. One moment.
You're at 3rd and Grand. Have a nice day.
Clark: Thank you.
Chloe: Great, All right, Let's
go, I'll drive.
[ Clark super speeds away
]
Chloe: Clark?
<>Geoff: Why isn't it working?
Clark: Tell me where she is!
Geoff: It was never
supposed to be like this, Clark.
Clark: Where is she?!
Geoff: I never even used my
powersin high school, but when I came to college, I had to win so bad, I
started. I couldn't stop.
Clark: Geoff, listen to me. You have to tell me where
she is. You don't want to murder another person.
Geoff: Coop was gonna tell the
world that Teflon Tailback was some kind of freak cheating his way into
the record books. I couldn't let him do that.
Clark: Tell me where she is.
Geoff: She's down there.
Clark: Lois! Lois! Lois! Lois. Lois, can you hear me? Lois?
Lois: Clark
Clark: It's okay,you're gonna be okay.
Martha: Is Lois going to be okay?
Clark: Luckily, the paralysis wears off. She's
already been released from the hospital.
Jonathan: Who would've thought that..Geoff Johns
seemed like such a nice kid.
Clark: Yeah, if I take this football scholarship,
I'm going to be in the same situation as Geoff. I'm gonna have to lie on
every physical... rig every test. I'm gonna have to do anything I can to
protect my secret. I want to believe that I can go out there and play
football like any normal college kid, but the fact is, I have powers that
no other athlete has. Coop was right. It's not fair that Geoff was out
there on that field, 
just like it's not fair when I'm
out there competing. So I've decided to give up football.
Martha: Clark... I
know how difficult it isto give up something you love.
Jonathan: But this
decision you've made, son, shows integrity well beyond your years.
Clark: Then
why don't I feel good about it?
Jonathan: Look at me, Clark. If you have your
heart set on going to Met U. or any other school, somehow, someway, your
mother and I will make sure that you get to go. Is that understood?
Clark: Yeah.
Jonathan: Good.
Lex: <>This photograph of Jason and his mother was taken in
paris... a day before he met you.
Lana: No, that can't be. His mom was in the
hamptons.
Lex: Look, Lana, I'm not gonna be so presumptuous as to
judge Jason's integrity, 
but I'll lay out a few facts.
Genevieve Teague has been researching the Countess since before Jason was
born. He grew up in a house full of ancient artifacts and reams of
research material about Margaret Isobel Theroux.
Lana: He never told me
that.
Lex: Contrary to what you may think, Jason's been aware of the Countess
since he was a child.
Lana: No. No, I don't believe that.
Lex: You have to ask
yourself, Lana, how well do you really know Jason Teague?
Lois: Knock knock!
You should think about putting up a door or something. I don't
know, maybe it's a city thing, but where I come from, we like to have a
little privacy.
Clark: Lois, who would've thought that I'd be relieved to hear
your voice? 
Lois: Clark, I don't know how you
did it, but if it weren't for you, I'd be at the bottom of the Mississippi right about now. Thanks.
Clark: I'm just glad you're okay and going
back to school.
Lois: That's not entirely true. I kind of got punted out of the
university.
Clark: I thought you were cleared of all charges.
Lois: Oh, I was, but...
see, the thing is, I am still busted for the booze,and, well... that
wasn't the first time I've been invited to the disciplinary
board's kangaroo court.
Clark: Why am I not surprised? You heading back to the
barracks?
Lois: Not an option. My dad's trying outthe tough love approach
with an emphasison "tough."
Clark: So are you gonna go stay with Chloe?
Lois: They've
got a tiny one-bedroom apartment. 
I can't do that to them. It's
fine, really. I'm just gonna check into a motel, and when the money runs
out, I can always sleep in my car. The back seat's not too bad if you
bend your knees and avoid the drive train and --
Clark: Lois...
Lois: And then, you
know, if I have to sell my car for food, that's okay, too. I've
always dreamed of being a hobo, riding the rails, cooking beans over
roadside fires...
Clark: If you want, I guess you could stay with us.
Lois: You're a
lifesaver. God, am I in need of a hot shower. Don't worry, Smallville.
I'll try to keep it under a half-hour.
Clark: What just happened?
Chloe: Hey! Looks
like you've got a car pool buddy for weekenders back to Smallville.
Clark: You
got into Met U.?
Chloe: The financial guy said that it's pretty much a lock.
Can you believe it? 
Now I don't actually have to rob
banks.
Clark: Oh, Chloe, congratulations. You deserve it.
Chloe: Thank you. You just
have to promise me one thing -- that once you're everybody's
all-American, you will still remember your old high school buddy. I
mean, you'll still say hi to me on campus and stuff.
Clark: Yeah, um, well, I'm
not going to Met U.
Chloe: What? What happened? Did another school sweep down
and give you the keys to the kingdom?
Clark: I'm not playing football anymore. I
turned down my scholarship.
Chloe: Let me get this straight. You were
offered a full ride with chrome wheels to play the game that you love, and you
said,"Thanks, but no thanks?"
Clark: I don't know, I'm just not sure that
football's my calling.
Chloe: I'm proud of you, Clark.
Clark: You're proud of me?
Why? 
Chloe: I just have a feeling that
you're destined to do a lot more in this world than just score touchdowns
Clark: Chloe, you've been saying a lot of weird things to me lately. What makes
you think I'm destined to do anything?
Chloe: Just a hunch.
