CAT:

(in for the kill)

I know what it's like to be new in

town. I'd be happy to show you

around.

CLARK:

That's very nice of you, Ms.

Grant.

CAT:

Cat.

CLARK:

Cat. Maybe when I get settled.

CAT:

(loudly)

It's a date.

Lois proceeds towards Perry's office, knocks, then enters. *

43 INT. PERRY WHITE'S OFFICE - CONTINUOUS 43*

Lois paces in front of Perry's desk as he settles in.

LOIS (CONT'D)

I'll need a task force. I can't

cover this story alone.

PERRY:

You can have Jimmy.

LOIS:

Chief, we're talking about the

space program...

PERRY:

All right. Take Kent.

LOIS:

Kent?!

PERRY:

Kent.

LOIS:

What about Myerson?

PERRY:

Busy.

LOIS:

Burns?

PERRY:

Budapest.

LOIS:

Forget Kent.

PERRY:

He's a good man.

LOIS:

He's a hick. From "Smallville." I

couldn't _make_ that name up.

PERRY:

Kent or nobody.

LOIS:

Nobody. *

(re-thinking this) *

Why don't you just hang an

albatross around my neck?

(off Perry's look)

Okay. But don't ever tell me I'm

not a team player.

44 INT. DAILY PLANET NEWSROOM - MOMENTS LATER 44

Lois strides up to Clark's desk. He looks up from his

computer with a smile which Lois quickly wipes off. Lois' *

take-charge attitude covers up a multitude of *

insecurities. *

LOIS:

Let's hit it. *

When she starts walking away Clark realizes he's supposed

to follow her. He shrugs, does so. On the move...

CLARK:

Mind if I ask where're we going?

LOIS:

To interview Samuel Platt. He's *

convinced that the Messenger was *

sabotaged. I'll brief you on the *

way.

(stopping to face him)

And let's get something straight.

I didn't work my buns off to become

an investigative reporter for the

Daily Planet just to baby-sit some

hack from Nowheresville.

She continues to walk with Clark right behind her. Then,

she whirls on him again.

LOIS (CONT'D)

And another thing. You're not

working _with_ me, you're working

_for_ me. I call the shots. I ask

the questions. You're low man.

I'm top banana. That's the way I

like it. Comprende?

CLARK:

You like to be on top. Got it.

Lois gives him a sneer.

LOIS:

Don't push me, Kent. You are way

out of your league.

Lois and Clark enter the elevator, Clark all smiles as we

CUT TO:

45 EXT. ABANDONED APARTMENT BUILDING - DAY - TO ESTABLISH 45

There are signs posted around the crumbling tenement

indicating "This Building Is Condemned," "No Entry," etc.

Lois and Clark exit a Taxi, walk up the steps. *

46 INT. TENEMENT HALLWAY - DAY 46

Lois and Clark stand in a dark hallway, knock on a door.

LOIS:

Dr. Platt? Samuel Platt?

PLATT (O.S.)

(harsh whisper)

Nobody's home.

A rat scurries by. Lois looks at Clark, tries again.

LOIS:

Dr. Platt? It's Lois Lane.
