turns to Perry

LOIS:

I knew there was something to

Platt's story. I _knew_ it.

PERRY:

Lois, just because one madman's

prediction came true doesn't mean

there's a conspiracy to sabotage

the entire space program.

LOIS:

Maybe not. But with more than a

hundred colonists going up in the

next launch, are you willing to

take that chance?

Perry's expression tells Lois that he's not.

DR. BAINES

There are no clues as to the cause

of this disaster, and, so far, no

link to the previous setbacks EPRAD

has encountered during the past

year.

ON TV - NEWSCASTER CARMEN ALVARADO

CARMEN ALVARADO:

Suddenly in doubt, however, is the

fate of Space Station Prometheus.

CARMEN ALVARADO (CONT'D)

The Congress of Nations will call a

special meeting to debate whether

or not to continue the

internationally financed floating

space laboratory. And what about

the future of the colonists who

have sacrificed everything in order

to make this voyage? Is man

destined to live in outer space?

Perhaps not. For LTC news, this is

Carmen Alvarado. *

The sound is turned off and the staff starts to disperse.

Jimmy turns to Clark, within hearing distance of Lois.

JIMMY.

Of course we were destined for

outer space! You believe in life

on other planets, don't you?

CLARK:

Absolutely.

LOIS:

Oh? How can you be so sure?

CLARK:

Just a hunch.

JIMMY:

What do _you_ think, Chief? Is

there intelligent life on other

planets?

PERRY:

Hell, what do I know? I can't even

find a decent dry cleaners.

Perry continues toward his office, Lois determinedly

following. When Perry opens the door to his office, he

turns to face Lois, right on his heel.

PERRY (CONT'D)

Give me a minute.

LOIS:

But, Chief ...

PERRY:

(controlling himself)

One minute. Please.

LOIS:

No problem, Chief. Take two.

Lois looks at her watch. Perry shakes his head, enters his

Newsroom staff get their morning hit of java. A spandex-

skirted Cat gives Clark the once over as he passes, wolf

whistles softly.

CAT:

Who's the new tight end?

Lois glances up, watches as Jimmy shows Clark his desk.

LOIS:

Why don't you just throw your usual

forward pass and find out?

Lois walks back toward her desk.

41 CLARK AND JIMMY 4.

JIMMY:

These four stations use the same

printer. Any questions, just ask.

CLARK:

A real veteran, huh?

JIMMY:

I started as a copy person, then

worked my way up as Ms. Lane's

assistant. Chief gave me a desk

two months ago.

CLARK:

Congratulations.

JIMMY:

Yeah, well, he still has me doing

grunt work. But, I get to hang *

with Lois. She usually takes me *

along on her big stories. We're *

pretty tight. *

Clark turns, runs smack into the substantial chest of Cat

Grant. She eyes him like a hungry man would a T-bone

steak.

CLARK:

Excuse me.

CAT:

Catherine Grant, "Cat's Corner."

CLARK:

Yes, I've read your column.

CAT:

Then my reputation precedes me.

Lois, returning, overhears, sneers at Cat's ample chest.

LOIS:

Among other things.
