Chloe Sullivan: So, I know you didn't come by this late at night just to drop off this press release. What happened?
Clark Kent: Well, how far do you want to cross this friendship boundary?
Chloe Sullivan: Since when did we have boundaries?
Chloe Sullivan: All right, why don't you just leave out the details?
Clark Kent: Well... everything was fine between Lana and I when I was human. I mean, it was great.
Chloe Sullivan: Okay, Clark...
Clark Kent: But now that I have my abilities back, it's like our... sex life has been on hiatus.
Chloe Sullivan: Oh! Uh... I know I'm gonna regret asking this question, but, um... why?
Clark Kent: 'Cause it just takes some time for me to adjust my abilities to new... situations.
Chloe Sullivan: Wow. Uh... awkward factor eight. Um... so, basically what you're saying is that... you're afraid that in the heat of the moment, you might... please don't make me finish this sentence, Clark.
Clark Kent: Well, see, that's the thing. I'm not sure what would happen. I mean, if I couldn't control myself...
Chloe Sullivan: Okay, you know what, Clark? Right there? That's something that can never been unseen.
Clark Kent: It's not funny.
Chloe Sullivan: No, you're right, it's not. It's just that this conversation definitely cements me as your Krypto-hag. Look, Clark, you can shake my hand without crushing it, right? And you don't exactly incinerate everyone you look at with your heat vision thing, so... it's pretty much the same thing, right? I mean metaphorically. But you didn't need me to tell you allthis, so what gives?
Clark Kent: I think I got used to lying to Lana when we were friends. Now it's different.
Chloe Sullivan: Yeah. You know, Clark, I mean, I'm playing my best zone defense, but I think you're in denial territory about what Lana knows. I mean, she's studying astronomy. The meteors, the fact that the undead topic comes up daily.
Clark Kent: Well, I can't just tell her. It's too risky.
Chloe Sullivan: Okay, fine, Clark, then don't tell her about it. But your game needs to switch from defense to offense, because sooner or later, Lana's gonna start asking all the wrong people all the right questions.
