#4.21 Forever
Lois: I’m impressed, Smallville. Of all the seniors skipping the last dia of school, I didn’t expect to see you.
Clark: I’m on lunch break.
Lois: Right, right. Because why would you do anything like any other normal teenager in America?
Lois: How cliche, an abandoned warehouse.
Clark: You know maybe there’s another way in around the corner. Why don’t you go check? I’ll see if I can find a key for this lock.
Lois: [Doubtful] Keys? Well, I highly doubt they’re under the welcome mat, but, uh, you knock yourself out.
#4.22 Commencement
Lois: Nightmare? So that’s what all this commotion is about?
Jonathan: Lois.
Lois: [To Clark] You know, if it makes you feel any better, I have them all the time. I had this one last week. Really scary. [She takes a pitcher out of the fridge] This, uh, guy wearing a red cape.
Clark: [Unimpressed] Oh, that sounds horrible, Lois.
Lois: Yeah. There’s something I wanted to tell all you guys. I just didn’t know when to, so I guess 2 in the morning is good a time as any.
Martha: What is it, Lois?
Lois: Oh, The general recruited me on a recon mission to track down my sister the grifter in Europe. So, we’re headed for Heidelberg tomorrow.
Martha: Oh, I’m sorry to hear that.
[Clark tries to cover his delight]
Lois: Clark, I know how devastated you must be but if you could just keep your tears to a minimum, I’d appreciate it.
Clark: I’ll try.
Lois: Thanks. Mr. and Mrs. Kent, I just wanted to say thanks for everything. You guys are like the mom and dad I’ve always wanted to have.
Jonathan: Lois, we want you to know that you are welcome back here any time.
Clark: [Protesting] Actually–
Martha: We’ll all miss you, Lois.
Lois: I’ll miss you all, too.
Lois: I realize hand-eye coordination isn’t one of your strong suits. Here, let me help you with that.
Clark: [Annoyed] Lois, I’m not sure what I’m gonna do without you.
Lois: Ah, come on, Clark, your future is laid out right in front of you. You’re gonna go to community college, major in agriculture, probably minor in law enforcement. And then you and Lana are gonna have a nice little church wedding.
Clark: Excuse me?
Lois: It’s written in the stars and you know it. It’s only a matter of time before you cadastrar-se the bowling league, take over the family farm, and then, well, you and Lana can bring little Clark junior into the world.
Clark: I think you’re hallucinating.
Lois: No. Hallucinating would be imagining Clark Kent going off to the big city to make his mark in the world. I’m just being realistic.
Clark: Lois, what are your big plans after Europe? You gonna go back to school? Maybe actually stay a little while?
Lois: I have a feeling that if I’m gonna get an education, it’s gonna be in the real world. [She sits down on the couch] You know, I took this career test in some magazine. It said that my perfect job would be a radio disc jockey.
Clark: That makes sense. You talk enough. There won’t be any dead air.
Lois: You mock me now Smallville, but you just wait and see.
Clark: Journalism. You ever thought about that? You wrote some half decent artigos in your short lived career at the Torch.
Lois: Nah, kill me first. Even if I could spell, the last thing I’d wanna do is spend my time in a newsroom. With my luck I’d probably end up across the escrivaninha, mesa from the most bumbling reporter on the masthead.
Lois: You know what? You actually look handsome for a change.
Clark: I’ll take that as a compliment.
Lois: Look, I know we’ve had our disagreements in the past. And I will be the first to admit that I’ve made it my own little hobby to bust your chops.
Clark: I’m used to it. Besides, I know I haven’t been the most gracious host.
Lois: Look, I just want you to know, Clark, that when I’m sitting in the audience today at your graduation and you stand up on that stage in front of all those people, I’m gonna be looking up at you and thinking one thing.
Clark: What’s that?
Lois: Please, God, don’t let him trip. [She punches him in the chest] See you.
Lois: Thanks for the tip. Now listen to me, Smallville, if there’s one thing that the General has taught me is that you cannot panic in times of crisis. Do you hear me? Okay, whatever happens, you have to stay calm. You cannot panic.
Clark: Lois–
Lois: [Becoming frantic] Because if you lose your cool–
Clark: Lois!
Lois: What?
Clark: You’re panicking.
Lois: Fine.
Lois: I’m impressed, Smallville. Of all the seniors skipping the last dia of school, I didn’t expect to see you.
