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 backseat's not too bad if you bend your knees and avoid the drive train 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 Kent: If you want, I guess you can stay with us.Lois Lane: 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 Kent: What just happened?
Cassandra Carver: Because we both know... you're not like other people.Clark Kent: Sure I am...Cassandra Carver: No Clark, I've seen you. Before we ever met.
