CLARK:

I read a lot of scientific journals.

LOIS:

Isn't that stuff kind of dense?

CLARK:

Yeah, but... I'm a speed reader.

LOIS:

Oh.

(beat)

I'm starving.

CLARK:

We could go for a bite.

LOIS:

Nah. What I'd really like is some

good Chinese take-out, but not from

that lousy joint across the street.

CLARK:

I know a place.

LOIS:

Do they deliver?

CLARK:

No, but it's no problem. I'll be

right back.

Clark starts to exit...

LOIS:

Don't you want to know what I want?

CLARK:

I'll bring an assortment.

Clark exits the newsroom.

LOIS:

(shaking her head)

I must have called fifty

ex-employees who worked at EPRAD

when Platt did. None of them are

talking. I don't know, maybe

there's nothing to talk about.

CLARK:

So, what do we do now?

LOIS:

First off, we piece together

Platt's report, if that's possible.

Then, we figure out how to prove

that Dr. Baines got a copy of it.

If we have any written evidence

that Platt found coolant devices

and Baines ignored it...

(beat)

I hope you haven't made any dinner

plans.

CLARK:

I'm all yours.

Lois gives him a annoyed look as we

CUT TO:

77 INT. DAILY PLANET NEWSROOM - NIGHT 77

Lois and Clark are the only people left in the deserted

newsroom. Platt's report -- hundreds of scraps of paper --

is piled all around them.

LOIS:

This is impossible. Nothing

matches, no dates...

We'll never get through this... *

and I'm starving. I wish I knew a *

good Chinese take-out. *

CLARK *

I know a place. I'll be right *

back. *

Clark starts to exit...

LOIS:

CLARK:

I'll bring an assortment.

81A EXT. NIGHT SKY 81A

Clark flies west, away from the eastern shore, across the

Great Plains, above the Grand Canyon, and to the California

coastline. He continues across the ocean-towards China...

83 INT. DAILY PLANET NEWSROOM - MINUTES LATER - NIGHT 83

Clark re-enters carrying several bags of Chinese food.

LOIS:

That was quick.

CLARK:

I took a short cut.

Clark starts unloading. It's quite a spread. Lois opens

one of the steaming containers, takes a bite.

LOIS:

Mmm... still hot.

(swallowing)

This is out of this world.

CUT TO:

84 INT. DAILY PLANET NEWSROOM - LATER THAT NIGHT 84

Lois and Clark have devoured the Chinese food. They're

exhausted. Lois has kicked off her shoes, has her feet up

on the desk. Clark hands Lois a fortune cookie. Lois

cracks it open, looks at Clark in disgust.

LOIS:

It's in Chinese.

Clark takes it from her, starts to read.

LOIS (CONT'D)

Don't tell me you can read....

the family."
