Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman Page #19

LUTHOR:

I knew I could leave everything in

your capable hands.

Luthor lifts one of her hands, kisses her palm.

ANOTHER ANGLE - THE DOOR TO LUTHOR'S STUDY

A giant, Tattooed Man enters.

LUTHOR:

turns to see him.

LUTHOR (CONT'D)

What's he doing here?

DR. BAINES

I have an errand for him to run.

(off Luthor's look)

Platt has to be... silenced. And

those reporters, Clark Kent and

Lois Lane are also becoming a

problem. Lois Lane was there this

morning. She took pictures of the

Messenger, followed the truck to

the hangar.

LUTHOR:

(sternly)

Do what you want with Platt.. But

leave the reporters to me.

Dr. Baines turns toward the Tattooed Man, waves for him to *

leave. When he exits, Baines turns back to Luthor. *

DR. BAINES

Tell me, Lex, do you have any

special interest in those

reporters? Clark Kent, for

example?

LUTHOR:

(sternly)

Kent is nothing, a mere... giblet.

DR. BAINES

And Lois Lane?

LUTHOR:

(trying to soothe)

Have I seduced you? I thought it

was _you_ who seduced me.

DR. BAINES

I'm warning you. Stay away from

her.

LUTHOR:

Antoinette. You know me, perhaps,

a little too well. I don't like

threats.

DR. BAINES

I don't care. Everything we've

worked for... we're so close. I

won't let her interfere.

(deadly)

You know what I'm capable of.

Luthor grins, leans over and kisses her on the mouth.

LUTHOR:

Yes, Antoinette, I do. That's part

of the appeal.

Luthor stands, lifts Antoinette in his arms, carries her *

through his secret passageway as we *

75 INT. DAILY PLANET NEWSROOM - DAY 75

Clark enters through the stairwell doors, bumps into Jimmy

on his way down.

JIMMY:

Hey, C.K.

CLARK:

Where're you off to?

JIMMY:

To pick up that report from Platt.

He called this morning -- said he

"hoped we could read it." I'm also

going to take a copy over to my

friends at S.T.A.R. labs to

analyze.

(beat)

What happened to your suit?

CLARK:

Don't ask. See you later.

75 CONTINUED:

Jimmy nods and Clark walks toward the conference room, but,

once again, Cat steps out of nowhere and impedes his path.

Her outfit, as usual, leaves little to the imagination, and

her open sensuality unnerves Clark, who tries to get by...

CAT:

'Morning, handsome.

CLARK:

Oh, hi, Cat. If you'll excuse

me...

CAT:

No, I don't think I will excuse

you.

(pouting)

I've asked you to have dinner with

me two times.

(her hand on his chest)

That's two times more than I've

ever had to ask _any_ man to do

anything.

Lois enters from the stairway and walks past them on her

way to the conference room.

CLARK:

I'm sorry, Cat, but I've been

really swamped. Lois and I...

CAT:

Poor Lois. All work and no

personality.

CLARK:

Anyway, can I take a raincheck on

that dinner?

CAT:

Sure. But don't wait too long.

As he walks on, Cat comments to herself.

CAT (CONT'D)

I love it when they play hard to

get.

76 INT. CONFERENCE ROOM - CONTINUOUS 76

Clark enters to find Lois flipping through her notes.

LOIS:

Cat-napping?

Clark ignores the barb, motions towards her notes.

CLARK:

Anything?
