Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman Page #7

LOIS:

Hi! You in for the night?

LUCY:

(shaking her head)

I'm meeting Jose.

LOIS:

Jose? Is he new?

LUCY:

Lab tech. Works on my floor.

The Microwave timer goes off with a PING.

LUCY (CONT'D)

(innocently)

So... what are _you_ up to tonight?

LOIS:

I've got a ton of work and...

(defensively)

Luce, don't start.

LUCY:

(starting anyway)

Did you find an escort to Lex

Luthor's White Orchid Ball? *

LOIS:

Not yet.

LUCY:

Lois, it's tomorrow night! *

(thinking... *

What about Alan? I thought you

liked him. *

LOIS:

I did. But after the second date

he didn't call, so...

LUCY:

What happened with that other guy,

Barry? He still leaves messages

on the machine.

LOIS:

Please.

LUCY:

He was a very nice guy. He brought

flowers.

LOIS:

He's a periodontist.

LUCY:

And Mitchell?

LOIS:

Hypochondriac.

LUCY:

They can't all be bad, Lois.

They can't all be stupid or boring.

What are you waiting for?

LOIS:

Fine. I'll ask Mitchell to take

me.

LUCY:

I'm not just talking about the

ball, Lois. You have to get out *

more.

LOIS:

Will you stop? You sound like Dad.

Jeez, I'm only twenty-six.

LUCY:

Twenty-six today. Thirty-six *

tomorrow. *

LOIS:

Give it a rest, Luce. *

LUCY:

And I know why Alan never called

you again... dragging him to that

Women in Journalism seminar, "Weak *

Men And The Wise Women Who Love

Them." You've got to stop scaring

them off, Lois!

LOIS:

What are you talking about?

LUCY:

Look in the mirror. You could get

any guy you wanted, but... do you

have to be so smart all the time?

So... intense?

LOIS:

Look, I'm just being myself. If

they're not man enough to handle

me, then... I'll wait for someone

who is.

LUCY:

I just hate to -see you sitting

home.

LOIS:

I get out plenty. I have dates.

LUCY:

You have _interviews_. It's not

the same thing.

(beat)

Lois, I just want you to meet a

super guy.

LOIS:

Hey. I'm supposed to be the big

sister here, remember? Go meet...

LUCY:

Jose.

(starting in again)

Lois...

LOIS:

(waving goodbye)

Have fun.

Lucy shrugs, exits into the bedroom. Lois turns to her

microwave dinner, already crusty as we

CUT TO:

26 INT. CLARK'S ROOM - NIGHT 26*

Clark lies on the single bed, his feet sticking out over

the end, arms crossed behind him, staring at the ceiling.

The bulb in the overhead light keeps flickering on and off.

Clark, still in the horizontal position, "floats" up to the

ceiling to fix it, then "floats" back down.

Clark looks around, bored, mischievous, notices how on the

opposite wall some of the previous tenants have left their

mark, decides to leave his as well.
