1
00:00:11,888 --> 00:00:14,599
- Are we going to state this year?
- Yeah!

2
00:00:14,765 --> 00:00:17,768
I can't hear you.
Who's gonna be the state champions?

3
00:00:17,852 --> 00:00:19,145
The crows.

4
00:00:19,562 --> 00:00:22,815
I need a brave freshman to step up.

5
00:00:22,982 --> 00:00:27,153
All right. Which one of you studs
thinks you're a better quarterback than me?

6
00:00:28,070 --> 00:00:29,280
Kent. How about it?

7
00:00:30,698 --> 00:00:31,741
Huh?

8
00:00:32,575 --> 00:00:33,826
No, it's okay.

9
00:00:33,993 --> 00:00:36,113
You're too busy milking
cows to try out for the team,

10
00:00:36,162 --> 00:00:39,498
the least you can do
is show some school spirit.

11
00:00:39,916 --> 00:00:42,376
Am I right? Come on, Kent.

12
00:00:42,543 --> 00:00:45,922
Don't you want to take a shot
at the hottest freshman in Smallville high?

13
00:00:47,798 --> 00:00:49,884
Come on, Clark.

14
00:00:49,967 --> 00:00:54,513
J“ to figure out what
I 'i/ do, without you j“

15
00:00:54,597 --> 00:00:58,434
j“ it takes me a while to figure out... j“

16
00:00:59,101 --> 00:01:00,478
just take your time.

17
00:01:00,853 --> 00:01:03,397
Come on, Clark, you can do it.

18
00:01:05,399 --> 00:01:07,777
Support the team. Go, crows!

19
00:01:10,780 --> 00:01:12,823
Go, crows.

20
00:01:12,990 --> 00:01:14,492
Hey, it's the crow.

21
00:01:14,617 --> 00:01:17,161
Who's the lucky freshman this year?

22
00:01:17,328 --> 00:01:19,413
Probably the biggest loser like every year.

23
00:01:19,580 --> 00:01:22,458
- Take it off. Let's see who it is.
- Leave her alone.

24
00:01:22,667 --> 00:01:24,710
Please don't
do this. Leave me alone.

25
00:01:24,877 --> 00:01:27,380
Or what?
We torture the mascot. It's tradition.

26
00:01:27,463 --> 00:01:28,589
Just leave me alone.

27
00:01:28,673 --> 00:01:30,508
Leave me alone.

28
00:01:30,675 --> 00:01:31,968
Stop it.

29
00:01:34,971 --> 00:01:38,391
Scabby Abby. Hey, it's scabby Abby.

30
00:01:39,850 --> 00:01:42,853
Scabby Abby. Scabby Abby.

31
00:01:43,020 --> 00:01:45,273
Scabby Abby. Scabby Abby.

32
00:01:53,864 --> 00:01:57,410
Better put your mask back on, scabster.

33
00:01:58,244 --> 00:01:59,704
All right. Who's next?

34
00:01:59,870 --> 00:02:02,164
Who's gonna step up and dunk her?

35
00:02:17,471 --> 00:02:18,931
Poor Abby.

36
00:02:19,432 --> 00:02:23,060
It's taken three years,
but you finally let mommy help you.

37
00:02:26,105 --> 00:02:28,232
Don't worry, sweetheart.

38
00:02:28,399 --> 00:02:32,361
I won't let you waste your senior year
like you did all the others.

39
00:02:32,528 --> 00:02:34,488
You promise people will like me?

40
00:02:34,655 --> 00:02:36,824
They will, I promise.

41
00:02:36,991 --> 00:02:38,743
Just like they did me.

42
00:02:45,666 --> 00:02:48,377
Everyone will love you
when they see the real you,

43
00:02:48,544 --> 00:02:51,422
the one that's been inside all along.

44
00:03:01,057 --> 00:03:04,894
You're going to have a senior year
no one will ever forget.

45
00:03:15,279 --> 00:03:20,326
J“ somebody save me j“

46
00:03:21,827 --> 00:03:25,706
j“ let your warm hands
break right through it j“

47
00:03:25,790 --> 00:03:30,419
j“ somebody save me j“

48
00:03:32,171 --> 00:03:35,966
j“ I don't care how you do it j“

49
00:03:36,050 --> 00:03:40,596
-j“ just stay, stay j“
-j“ stay with me j“

50
00:03:40,679 --> 00:03:46,268
j“ come on, I've been waiting for you j“

51
00:03:46,352 --> 00:03:50,231
j“ to stay with me j“

52
00:03:51,899 --> 00:03:56,612
j“ I made this whole world shine for you j“

53
00:03:56,695 --> 00:04:00,658
j“ stay, stay j“

54
00:04:00,741 --> 00:04:04,036
j“ come on j“

55
00:04:09,625 --> 00:04:11,794
[Announced
what a ball game. It's all tied up.

56
00:04:11,961 --> 00:04:15,214
With five seconds left,
it's a thriller here at Metro stadium.

57
00:04:15,381 --> 00:04:19,677
Clark Kent, the phenom from Smallville
has led m. U.'S incredible comeback.

58
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,304
Kent takes the snap
from his own 10—yard line.

59
00:04:22,388 --> 00:04:26,225
It's hail Mary time.
He fades back, here's the pass.

60
00:04:26,308 --> 00:04:30,438
A bullet deep downfield,
way past his own receiver.

61
00:04:30,521 --> 00:04:35,234
Wait. Kent's now flying down the field.
He's going to catch his own pass.

62
00:04:35,401 --> 00:04:37,653
Touchdown! The meteors win.

63
00:04:37,736 --> 00:04:39,780
Kent is unbelievable.

64
00:04:45,453 --> 00:04:47,371
Nice arm, farm boy.

65
00:04:47,872 --> 00:04:49,623
When's the first game?

66
00:04:51,167 --> 00:04:53,335
- I'm not on the team.
- Why not?

67
00:04:53,502 --> 00:04:56,672
An arm like that
is a "get out of geek free" pass.

68
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,383
- Even if I wanted to play...
- Which obviously you do.

69
00:04:59,550 --> 00:05:01,927
That wouldn't be the reason.

70
00:05:02,511 --> 00:05:05,556
Thanks, I don't really
consider myself a geek.

71
00:05:06,182 --> 00:05:10,436
So, what do you see yourself as?

72
00:05:11,061 --> 00:05:14,064
I don't know. An outsider, I guess.

73
00:05:14,815 --> 00:05:17,401
That's a recipe for wedgies
if I've ever heard one.

74
00:05:17,568 --> 00:05:20,237
Have I told how much I'm gonna miss you?

75
00:05:23,824 --> 00:05:25,618
Daddy.

76
00:05:26,827 --> 00:05:29,079
Don't you have 3000 guys to babysit?

77
00:05:29,246 --> 00:05:31,332
Do you really need to
keep checking up on me?

78
00:05:31,499 --> 00:05:33,375
It would appear that way.

79
00:05:33,834 --> 00:05:37,338
I know that I'm late, but I can still
make it to campus for orientation.

80
00:05:37,421 --> 00:05:40,966
Save yourself a trip.
Met u just yanked your acceptance.

81
00:05:41,300 --> 00:05:43,594
What? They can't do that.

82
00:05:43,677 --> 00:05:45,721
You don't have enough credits
to finish high school.

83
00:05:45,804 --> 00:05:51,018
- I know I missed a few classes, but...
- Lo, you failed the last semester.

84
00:05:56,815 --> 00:05:58,359
Not to worry though.

85
00:05:58,442 --> 00:06:02,112
I'm sure that Clark will be happy
to show you around.

86
00:06:02,738 --> 00:06:05,032
Around where?

87
00:06:05,324 --> 00:06:07,910
Bright and early tomorrow morning,

88
00:06:08,077 --> 00:06:10,162
you start Smallville high.

89
00:06:23,592 --> 00:06:26,595
You know, socially divisive
cliques and hall passes aside,

90
00:06:26,762 --> 00:06:29,181
this place really isn't all that bad.

91
00:06:30,766 --> 00:06:33,936
It's the varsity version
of Dante's seventh ring.

92
00:06:34,186 --> 00:06:37,731
Do you know how many people would kill
to relive their senior year in high school?

93
00:06:37,940 --> 00:06:39,233
Make that "semester."

94
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,652
Five more credits
and I am out of this cow pile.

95
00:06:41,819 --> 00:06:44,029
Wait a minute.
Five credits in one semester?

96
00:06:44,196 --> 00:06:47,825
Lois, the only way you're gonna do that
is if you add on an extra-curricular.

97
00:06:47,992 --> 00:06:50,953
Like, say, maybe writing for the torch.

98
00:06:52,705 --> 00:06:56,417
No hard feelings, but unlike you,
the last thing I want to be is a reporter.

99
00:06:56,584 --> 00:06:58,502
Yeah, god, what could be worse

100
00:06:58,669 --> 00:07:01,088
than uncovering the truth,
protecting the public...

101
00:07:01,171 --> 00:07:03,674
Sticking your nose
in other people's business.

102
00:07:04,049 --> 00:07:05,384
Like I said, you'd be perfect.

103
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,096
Come on, let's go.

104
00:07:10,723 --> 00:07:12,474
It's gonna be great having you here.

105
00:07:18,230 --> 00:07:20,649
- Check it out.
- The new girl.

106
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:24,360
What's up, girl?

107
00:07:24,403 --> 00:07:27,031
J“ I found out today that
you went on a little trip j“

108
00:07:27,114 --> 00:07:28,115
Scabby Abby?

109
00:07:28,198 --> 00:07:32,536
J“ to somewhere you don't belong j“

110
00:07:32,828 --> 00:07:34,455
hi, Clark.

111
00:07:34,538 --> 00:07:38,375
J“ I want to be your friend,
made just a little slip... j“

112
00:07:38,459 --> 00:07:42,129
- Abby?
- It's actually Abigail now.

113
00:07:42,212 --> 00:07:45,007
J“ and I'm going to meet you... j“

114
00:07:45,090 --> 00:07:47,885
you know, I almost didn't recognize you.

115
00:07:48,427 --> 00:07:52,890
After an entire summer in recovery? Good.

116
00:07:53,265 --> 00:07:57,936
With any luck this old locker will be the
only thing that stays the same this year.

117
00:07:58,020 --> 00:07:59,730
J“ I used to have angels... j“

118
00:07:59,813 --> 00:08:02,191
yeah, that shouldn't be a problem.

119
00:08:02,358 --> 00:08:03,776
So, uh...

120
00:08:04,151 --> 00:08:05,944
Why the, uh...?

121
00:08:06,612 --> 00:08:08,405
Change?

122
00:08:10,783 --> 00:08:14,703
I guess just one day you realize
you can spend another year being resentful

123
00:08:14,870 --> 00:08:18,999
of what everybody else has,
or you can do something about it.

124
00:08:19,500 --> 00:08:21,585
It's our senior year, Clark.

125
00:08:21,752 --> 00:08:23,462
This is my last chance.

126
00:08:25,589 --> 00:08:27,132
I can't believe that's her.

127
00:08:28,217 --> 00:08:30,302
Morning, Clark. Hey, Abby.

128
00:08:31,679 --> 00:08:35,432
Whoa! Either she spent an entire summer
at a silicon farm

129
00:08:35,599 --> 00:08:38,227
or I'm shopping at the
wrong makeup counter.

130
00:08:38,394 --> 00:08:39,645
How old is she, 17?

131
00:08:39,812 --> 00:08:43,148
That's like messing with the batter
before the cookies are even baked.

132
00:08:43,315 --> 00:08:46,193
Don't tell me that the world
isn't nicer to prettier people.

133
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,154
Besides, it's her body,
and if it makes her feel better

134
00:08:49,321 --> 00:08:51,198
then it's none of our business.

135
00:08:53,701 --> 00:08:55,327
What?

136
00:08:55,953 --> 00:08:58,122
I'm stunned that miss letter-to-the-editor

137
00:08:58,288 --> 00:09:01,500
doesn't find it distressing
that a girl would get nipped

138
00:09:01,667 --> 00:09:05,713
- to transform into a plastic pod...
- I think she looks great.

139
00:09:08,173 --> 00:09:10,926
That's the problem with high school.
It's all a facade.

140
00:09:11,093 --> 00:09:13,929
Everyone's hiding who they are
and trying to be something they're not.

141
00:09:14,096 --> 00:09:16,181
It sounds like you've
got your first article.

142
00:09:16,765 --> 00:09:18,475
See you in the torch.

143
00:09:19,852 --> 00:09:23,397
Okay, I'll write for you,
but you better get me extra credit.

144
00:09:38,454 --> 00:09:39,830
Hey.

145
00:09:44,668 --> 00:09:47,212
A note through the vent of my locker.

146
00:09:47,379 --> 00:09:48,589
Very creative.

147
00:09:48,756 --> 00:09:52,968
Well, I pride myself on being able
to revert back to the fourth grade.

148
00:09:53,218 --> 00:09:56,555
What are you doing here?
If we get caught, I could get detention.

149
00:09:56,722 --> 00:09:58,640
I could get fired.

150
00:10:01,727 --> 00:10:03,395
Coach teague.

151
00:10:07,900 --> 00:10:10,235
- I'm Clark Kent.
- Hi.

152
00:10:12,613 --> 00:10:14,281
Lana.

153
00:10:15,574 --> 00:10:17,701
- What are you doing here?
- Um, I...

154
00:10:17,868 --> 00:10:23,123
The principal asked this young lady
to give me the grand tour.

155
00:10:23,290 --> 00:10:25,584
It's good to meet you, Clark.

156
00:10:26,668 --> 00:10:29,630
You know, they didn't tell me
you were Jason teague.

157
00:10:29,963 --> 00:10:33,217
This guy threw a passing record
his freshman year at Metropolis university.

158
00:10:33,300 --> 00:10:34,593
- He could have gone pro.
- Yeah.

159
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,763
Well, now I'm just a transfer
to central Kansas a&m.

160
00:10:37,930 --> 00:10:40,098
Amazing how quickly
you fall off recruiters' lists

161
00:10:40,182 --> 00:10:42,100
when you tear your rotator cuff.

162
00:10:42,601 --> 00:10:46,021
Well, then I, uh, guess we're lucky
to have you here, coach.

163
00:10:46,605 --> 00:10:48,982
Assistant coach, miss lang.

164
00:10:51,318 --> 00:10:54,363
Quigley's still gonna be calling
the plays for you guys.

165
00:10:54,530 --> 00:10:56,782
Actually, I'm not on the team.

166
00:10:59,117 --> 00:11:00,786
I was hoping I could try out.

167
00:11:01,119 --> 00:11:03,288
You look big enough. Sure.

168
00:11:06,291 --> 00:11:10,796
- The Talon?
- Lex agreed to let me manage it.

169
00:11:13,298 --> 00:11:15,300
I was lucky to find a job at all, Jonathan.

170
00:11:15,467 --> 00:11:17,803
It's not like I have a
full résumé these days.

171
00:11:17,970 --> 00:11:20,138
Sweetheart, if we're
so worried about money,

172
00:11:20,305 --> 00:11:23,851
we'll go through the books again,
find some other place to cut.

173
00:11:24,017 --> 00:11:26,770
Like where? We've been over it
every week for two months.

174
00:11:26,937 --> 00:11:29,815
There's no way we can get out
from under these hospital bills.

175
00:11:29,982 --> 00:11:32,568
I'm not blaming you.

176
00:11:33,652 --> 00:11:37,114
I don't want to wait and risk losing
the farm. You've worked too hard.

177
00:11:37,281 --> 00:11:39,992
Yeah, so that you wouldn't have to.

178
00:11:40,868 --> 00:11:43,871
It's not so bad right now.

179
00:11:44,037 --> 00:11:47,040
You have the farm.
Clark is gonna go off to college next year.

180
00:11:47,207 --> 00:11:48,750
I need something of my own.

181
00:11:49,001 --> 00:11:51,670
But why does it have
to be with the Luthors?

182
00:11:51,837 --> 00:11:56,383
I'll be selling espressos, Jonathan,
not masterminding hostile takeovers.

183
00:11:58,093 --> 00:12:00,012
Well...

184
00:12:00,512 --> 00:12:05,517
I've always known that you wanted
to have more than just this old farm.

185
00:12:06,476 --> 00:12:09,271
I'm not gonna be the
one to stand in your way.

186
00:12:09,771 --> 00:12:13,066
- Thank you, sweetheart.
- You're welcome. You're welcome.

187
00:12:13,734 --> 00:12:17,779
Hey, Kent, I need your
permission slip, bud.

188
00:12:24,202 --> 00:12:25,704
What positions have you played?

189
00:12:27,623 --> 00:12:31,001
None, actually.
I've never been on a team before.

190
00:12:31,168 --> 00:12:33,170
My father wasn't too
keen on the whole idea.

191
00:12:33,337 --> 00:12:35,964
Your dad doesn't know you're here, does he?

192
00:12:37,424 --> 00:12:40,385
When it comes to defying fathers,
I'm kind of a pro.

193
00:12:42,846 --> 00:12:44,806
I'm not doing this for him.

194
00:12:46,391 --> 00:12:48,602
I've seen a lot of guys join the team

195
00:12:48,769 --> 00:12:51,396
just so they can walk around
in a ietterman's jacket.

196
00:12:51,563 --> 00:12:54,149
Because they want people
to look at them differently.

197
00:12:56,109 --> 00:12:58,236
But football's just a game.

198
00:12:59,321 --> 00:13:02,199
If you want to change,
you gotta do that yourself.

199
00:13:02,866 --> 00:13:04,576
That's why I'm here.

200
00:13:09,915 --> 00:13:12,334
All right. We'll see what you got.

201
00:13:18,173 --> 00:13:22,052
J“ I see fields of blank
out staring eyes... j“

202
00:13:22,260 --> 00:13:25,472
all right, Kent. Prove something to us.

203
00:13:25,555 --> 00:13:30,102
J“ on asphalt and petrol highs
their souls need not for ice... j“

204
00:13:30,185 --> 00:13:33,313
all right, guys. Let's go.
Get in there. Let's see some hustle.

205
00:13:35,565 --> 00:13:41,196
J“ I see tans and muscles on the guys... j“

206
00:13:41,279 --> 00:13:42,656
All right, guys. On two.

207
00:13:42,739 --> 00:13:46,118
J“ but lightning left their eyes... j“

208
00:13:48,495 --> 00:13:51,832
j“ he drives a brand new car... j“

209
00:13:53,625 --> 00:13:56,712
J“ he's watching all the stars... j“

210
00:13:56,795 --> 00:13:59,339
all right. That'll work.
Line up again, guys.

211
00:13:59,923 --> 00:14:03,135
- What?
- Check out scabby Abby.

212
00:14:04,302 --> 00:14:06,930
- They're fake, you know.
- Who cares?

213
00:14:09,683 --> 00:14:10,976
You kidding me?

214
00:14:11,601 --> 00:14:13,979
Man, is she hot.

215
00:14:14,146 --> 00:14:17,274
Hey, baby,
you got a hamburger for that shake?

216
00:14:33,999 --> 00:14:36,001
I didn't mean to scare you.

217
00:14:36,668 --> 00:14:39,087
I can't stop thinking about you.

218
00:14:39,838 --> 00:14:43,425
You mean the girl you
nicknamed scabby Abby?

219
00:14:43,592 --> 00:14:46,303
Yeah, I totally deserve that.

220
00:14:46,845 --> 00:14:50,724
Maybe if I'd been more patient,
I would have seen who you really are.

221
00:14:51,516 --> 00:14:55,771
The most beautiful girl in school.

222
00:15:08,784 --> 00:15:11,036
I have a lot to apologize for.

223
00:15:12,037 --> 00:15:16,625
What do you say we go some place
a little more quiet?

224
00:15:29,054 --> 00:15:31,098
So where are we going?

225
00:15:34,226 --> 00:15:39,523
J“ I got your picture in my pocket
I got your name tattooed on my back j“

226
00:15:39,606 --> 00:15:43,068
j“ outside my window, thunder's crashing j“

227
00:15:43,151 --> 00:15:47,405
j“ I wish I knew when
you were coming back j“

228
00:15:47,489 --> 00:15:51,159
j“ what do you do in the
summer when it's raining? J“

229
00:15:51,243 --> 00:15:54,412
j“ I pull my hair back
my head under the faucet j“

230
00:15:54,496 --> 00:15:58,250
j“ it's so hot in here I gotta get out j“

231
00:15:58,333 --> 00:16:01,628
j“ my air condition is broke
I gotta toss it j“

232
00:16:01,711 --> 00:16:05,841
j“ I wish I had your arms to help me out j“

233
00:16:05,924 --> 00:16:10,512
j“ what do you do in the
summer when it's raining? J“

234
00:16:10,595 --> 00:16:13,390
j“ all alone up in my room j“

235
00:16:13,515 --> 00:16:20,522
j“ what do you do when the one
you love's a thousand miles away? J“

236
00:16:20,605 --> 00:16:25,110
j“ what do you do
when you just feel like escaping? J“

237
00:16:25,193 --> 00:16:28,655
j“ are you dreaming about me too? J“

238
00:16:28,905 --> 00:16:31,783
- what are you doing?
- You didn't feel that?

239
00:16:35,036 --> 00:16:38,081
No. I should... I should go.

240
00:16:39,291 --> 00:16:42,544
What's going on? Abigail, wait.

241
00:16:42,794 --> 00:16:44,212
Oh, I get it.

242
00:16:44,379 --> 00:16:47,215
New face, same old boring scabby.

243
00:16:50,552 --> 00:16:51,636
Hey.

244
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:01,313
- Oh, my god.
- Brett?

245
00:17:01,813 --> 00:17:03,523
What's happening?

246
00:17:05,317 --> 00:17:07,485
Oh, my god.

247
00:17:07,986 --> 00:17:09,654
My face.

248
00:17:09,821 --> 00:17:11,114
My god.

249
00:17:11,281 --> 00:17:12,824
What did you do to me?

250
00:17:15,827 --> 00:17:17,996
No! My face!

251
00:17:18,163 --> 00:17:19,372
Admission's office?

252
00:17:19,539 --> 00:17:22,417
I'm in the nation's creamed corn capital
retaking calculus.

253
00:17:22,584 --> 00:17:23,752
No, don't put me on hold.

254
00:17:23,919 --> 00:17:26,087
Could this day be any worse?

255
00:17:35,931 --> 00:17:38,058
Anything else you can tell me?

256
00:17:38,308 --> 00:17:41,061
- No, that's everything. Thank you.
- Thank you.

257
00:17:44,648 --> 00:17:47,442
Lois, what's going on?

258
00:17:47,609 --> 00:17:50,403
He just ran right out in front of me.

259
00:17:50,570 --> 00:17:53,907
I don't know. They said he's gonna be okay.
Physically, anyway.

260
00:17:54,074 --> 00:17:56,910
- The cops think he kind of lost it.
- Who? Brett?

261
00:17:58,662 --> 00:18:00,914
I saw him at practice an hour ago.
He was fine.

262
00:18:01,289 --> 00:18:03,208
- You sure about that?
- Yeah.

263
00:18:03,333 --> 00:18:04,793
Think about it, Clark.

264
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:07,128
It's the start of the new season,

265
00:18:07,295 --> 00:18:10,757
scholarships, the entire town
counting on you to be their hero.

266
00:18:10,924 --> 00:18:14,135
Who knows what neuroses are hiding
behind that big-man-on-campus mask?

267
00:18:14,386 --> 00:18:16,888
No way.
If anything, Brett was too overconfident.

268
00:18:17,055 --> 00:18:18,974
He probably just didn't see you.

269
00:18:19,140 --> 00:18:22,143
Yeah, that might explain
the broken windshield,

270
00:18:22,310 --> 00:18:25,814
but you wanna tell me why he was
running around half-naked, soaking wet?

271
00:18:25,981 --> 00:18:27,190
Who would do that?

272
00:18:33,905 --> 00:18:37,909
Last time I checked, you were missing
a few prerequisites for being in here.

273
00:18:38,076 --> 00:18:39,911
So you have been checking me out.

274
00:18:40,620 --> 00:18:42,247
Lois, just wait outside.

275
00:18:43,331 --> 00:18:44,666
Are you kidding?

276
00:18:44,833 --> 00:18:48,128
Tortured senior can't keep up
the hometown hero act and buckles?

277
00:18:48,586 --> 00:18:52,590
This is as juicy as my teen
cosmetic surgery article.

278
00:18:53,091 --> 00:18:56,303
Excuse me,
how well did you know Brett Anderson?

279
00:18:57,178 --> 00:19:00,682
- Not as well as I'd like to know you.
- Charming.

280
00:19:00,849 --> 00:19:02,559
Look, Brett ran in front of my car.

281
00:19:02,726 --> 00:19:05,186
Do any of you guys know
what that was all about?

282
00:19:05,395 --> 00:19:06,604
Don't look at me.

283
00:19:39,637 --> 00:19:44,601
J“ he was standin' in
the middle of 6 and 7... j“

284
00:19:45,352 --> 00:19:47,812
you make a habit
of going through other people's mail?

285
00:19:49,689 --> 00:19:53,443
Sorry. The, uh, box was
addressed to the Talon.

286
00:19:53,735 --> 00:19:56,529
Something tells me
this isn't a book-of—the-month selection.

287
00:19:58,406 --> 00:20:01,785
What's with this fascination
with ancient writings?

288
00:20:03,453 --> 00:20:05,080
School project.

289
00:20:06,748 --> 00:20:09,584
Must be the same project
Clark's always working on.

290
00:20:10,377 --> 00:20:14,172
For two people so different,
you have remarkably similar interests.

291
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,427
It still amazes me,
what you did with this place.

292
00:20:19,594 --> 00:20:23,848
You saw promise in something everyone
else thought was beyond redemption.

293
00:20:25,308 --> 00:20:29,020
This is a side of Lex Luthor
I've never seen before.

294
00:20:30,355 --> 00:20:33,525
You're coming dangerously close
to being nostalgic.

295
00:20:47,872 --> 00:20:50,458
Congratulations are in order.

296
00:20:51,459 --> 00:20:54,796
Coach ouigley called,
you made the football team.

297
00:20:55,255 --> 00:20:59,467
Don't worry, dad. I won't hurt anyone.
I know how to control my abilities.

298
00:20:59,634 --> 00:21:03,346
The person I'm worried
about you hurting, Clark, is yourself.

299
00:21:05,223 --> 00:21:07,892
You're gonna be tempted
to run a little bit faster,

300
00:21:08,059 --> 00:21:12,772
to throw the ball just far enough
to win every game.

301
00:21:14,858 --> 00:21:16,818
You think I'm gonna cheat?

302
00:21:17,152 --> 00:21:18,570
I won't cross that line.

303
00:21:18,736 --> 00:21:21,406
You won't even know
where that line is, Clark.

304
00:21:22,949 --> 00:21:25,535
You're out there,
your friends are giving it their all,

305
00:21:25,702 --> 00:21:28,037
you're gonna do whatever it takes to win.

306
00:21:28,204 --> 00:21:30,165
That's football, son.

307
00:21:30,999 --> 00:21:34,836
And with you
it's never gonna be a fair competition.

308
00:21:35,003 --> 00:21:37,464
Well, let's talk about what's fair.

309
00:21:37,839 --> 00:21:40,341
What's the first thing you remember
about high school?

310
00:21:40,467 --> 00:21:42,385
- No, no...
- Don't tell me it's not football.

311
00:21:45,346 --> 00:21:47,098
I want that too, dad.

312
00:21:47,265 --> 00:21:51,019
And I'm sick of begging for
the same chances that you just had.

313
00:21:53,021 --> 00:21:54,689
I want my own life.

314
00:22:11,206 --> 00:22:15,001
You aren't the first person to walk
through that door with tattoo remorse.

315
00:22:15,627 --> 00:22:18,338
But you're the first
one to do it without ink.

316
00:22:18,505 --> 00:22:20,048
What?

317
00:22:20,215 --> 00:22:21,966
Whatever this pigment is,

318
00:22:22,133 --> 00:22:26,012
it's almost as though the symbol
were branded underneath your skin.

319
00:22:26,763 --> 00:22:30,141
Someone wanted to leave a Mark
you wouldn't easily forget.

320
00:22:30,433 --> 00:22:33,019
But you can still remove it, right?

321
00:22:33,186 --> 00:22:35,355
I'll send this tissue
sample off to the lab,

322
00:22:35,522 --> 00:22:40,276
but I'm guessing the removal won't be
possible without a complete skin graft.

323
00:22:40,985 --> 00:22:42,737
We'll see.

324
00:22:45,740 --> 00:22:48,201
You go to school with
my daughter, don't you?

325
00:22:49,619 --> 00:22:51,746
I never forget a face.

326
00:22:53,414 --> 00:22:56,918
Especially a perfect one like yours.

327
00:22:59,254 --> 00:23:01,923
It must get you anything you want.

328
00:23:07,762 --> 00:23:10,306
How's Brett? I saw you two in the hall.

329
00:23:10,473 --> 00:23:12,642
I don't know what you're talking about.

330
00:23:14,769 --> 00:23:16,729
I'll talk to you later.

331
00:23:17,230 --> 00:23:21,067
Thank you. Bye, Dr. Fine.

332
00:23:22,277 --> 00:23:24,279
What did you do to me?

333
00:23:25,154 --> 00:23:28,950
I kissed this guy and he freaked out.
It was like he went insane or something.

334
00:23:29,117 --> 00:23:33,746
You were my first trial at this.
There's always potential for complications.

335
00:23:33,913 --> 00:23:36,165
Complications?
Brett's at the hospital because of me.

336
00:23:36,332 --> 00:23:40,128
Brett? Isn't that the boy
who named you scabby Abby?

337
00:23:40,503 --> 00:23:44,424
Maybe he got exactly what he deserved.
And Lana should too.

338
00:23:44,591 --> 00:23:48,219
But Lana never did anything to me.

339
00:23:51,306 --> 00:23:53,141
Lana saw the two of you together.

340
00:23:53,308 --> 00:23:55,310
She's already asking questions.

341
00:23:55,476 --> 00:23:56,728
You think she knows?

342
00:23:56,936 --> 00:23:59,772
This is a very serious problem, Abigail.

343
00:24:01,190 --> 00:24:03,192
If Lana says anything to anyone

344
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:06,446
about what's happened
between you and this boy,

345
00:24:06,613 --> 00:24:08,531
they'll take all of this away from me.

346
00:24:08,698 --> 00:24:10,617
And without your treatments,

347
00:24:11,075 --> 00:24:14,245
you're gonna revert back
exactly the way you used to be.

348
00:24:14,579 --> 00:24:16,873
Is that really what you want?

349
00:24:18,499 --> 00:24:21,586
I have done everything for you.

350
00:24:24,088 --> 00:24:27,383
And now I need you to do something for me.

351
00:24:32,305 --> 00:24:34,515
- Yeah.
- Okay.

352
00:24:38,770 --> 00:24:41,564
- It's the old drama room.
- Wow!

353
00:24:43,608 --> 00:24:47,278
This is an interesting detour
from the coach's office.

354
00:24:47,695 --> 00:24:50,490
- I didn't even know this room existed.
- Yeah.

355
00:24:50,657 --> 00:24:53,117
Neither does anyone else, hopefully.

356
00:24:53,284 --> 00:24:57,622
I still can't believe
that you have a job at my school.

357
00:24:57,789 --> 00:24:59,207
I know.

358
00:24:59,374 --> 00:25:02,126
I'm gonna have to get used to
my guys drooling over you.

359
00:25:02,418 --> 00:25:04,629
I don't think you have
anything to worry about.

360
00:25:04,921 --> 00:25:06,464
Yeah?

361
00:25:06,631 --> 00:25:08,132
What about Clark Kent?

362
00:25:12,303 --> 00:25:14,639
I thought that you said
you had a surprise for me.

363
00:25:14,806 --> 00:25:17,100
How did this become about Clark?

364
00:25:18,476 --> 00:25:21,979
It was strange,
he kind of opened up to me today.

365
00:25:22,689 --> 00:25:26,943
You have no idea how
strange that really is.

366
00:25:28,194 --> 00:25:31,823
The thing is,
running the drills and putting together...

367
00:25:32,699 --> 00:25:35,993
A good team is one thing,

368
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:39,872
but having guys like Clark coming to
me for advice, it's not gonna be easy.

369
00:25:40,039 --> 00:25:44,168
These guys are looking at me like I'm an
adult. I still feel like I'm part of the team.

370
00:25:48,423 --> 00:25:50,091
But this moment isn't about me.

371
00:25:53,261 --> 00:25:54,846
- Hold on.
- Okay.

372
00:25:55,304 --> 00:25:57,598
- It's about this.
- Oh, dear.

373
00:25:58,015 --> 00:25:59,559
- That would be a blindfold.
- Yes.

374
00:25:59,726 --> 00:26:02,854
Okay. So, what do you think
you're gonna get out of this?

375
00:26:03,020 --> 00:26:08,067
Nothing. It's just that we never really
got to celebrate somebody's birthday.

376
00:26:08,234 --> 00:26:09,694
Right.

377
00:26:09,861 --> 00:26:11,988
So you stay right here.

378
00:26:12,155 --> 00:26:14,240
- Okay.
- Okay.

379
00:26:15,366 --> 00:26:17,368
Don't peek.

380
00:26:29,338 --> 00:26:30,840
Jason?

381
00:26:34,260 --> 00:26:36,220
Hello?

382
00:26:42,143 --> 00:26:44,145
Jason, what are you...?

383
00:26:57,784 --> 00:26:58,910
Abby?

384
00:26:59,911 --> 00:27:01,329
I'm sorry, Lana.

385
00:27:59,762 --> 00:28:02,473
I don't know
if you can even hear me, Lana...

386
00:28:04,767 --> 00:28:07,353
But if you knew
how much you meant to me...

387
00:28:09,188 --> 00:28:14,402
I guess the polite thing to do is cough
and let you know I'm standing here.

388
00:28:15,027 --> 00:28:17,280
But that always seems
so forced, doesn't it?

389
00:28:21,409 --> 00:28:22,577
How is she?

390
00:28:23,286 --> 00:28:27,623
Well, they don't know what's wrong with her
so it's kind of hard to say.

391
00:28:29,458 --> 00:28:30,960
Lex Luthor.

392
00:28:31,627 --> 00:28:33,296
Jason teague.

393
00:28:34,130 --> 00:28:37,008
I, uh, work at the school.
I'm the new assistant football coach.

394
00:28:37,174 --> 00:28:38,801
Teague.

395
00:28:39,552 --> 00:28:42,930
As in Marion, teague and wiseman?

396
00:28:45,558 --> 00:28:47,268
It's my father's firm.

397
00:28:48,728 --> 00:28:52,815
And you decided to get as far away
from the family business as possible.

398
00:28:52,982 --> 00:28:54,567
Smart move.

399
00:28:55,693 --> 00:28:59,405
It didn't exactly go down like that.
He, uh, cut me off.

400
00:29:00,281 --> 00:29:04,493
Well, what better place to kick-start
a new career than Smallville high.

401
00:29:06,829 --> 00:29:10,750
Certainly responsible of the school
to send a representative to check on her.

402
00:29:11,834 --> 00:29:13,252
Oh, um...

403
00:29:14,003 --> 00:29:18,174
Yeah, I just thought I'd stop by
on the way home. It was nothing.

404
00:29:20,343 --> 00:29:21,928
I doubt that.

405
00:29:34,357 --> 00:29:36,734
Lana deserves the best.

406
00:29:39,362 --> 00:29:40,863
I hope you're it.

407
00:30:13,396 --> 00:30:15,731
Hey. How's she doing?

408
00:30:15,898 --> 00:30:17,650
She's pretty cut up.

409
00:30:18,067 --> 00:30:22,071
They gave her a sedative, but she
keeps saying, "don't let him see me."

410
00:30:22,571 --> 00:30:23,781
It's like a kind of breakdown.

411
00:30:23,864 --> 00:30:26,200
When they brought Brett in,
he was acting the same way.

412
00:30:26,367 --> 00:30:29,578
The only thing in common
is a spike in their serotonin levels.

413
00:30:29,745 --> 00:30:32,081
- Serotonin?
- It's a brain chemical...

414
00:30:32,248 --> 00:30:34,875
That LSD and hallucinogens mimic.

415
00:30:35,668 --> 00:30:38,045
It's also the word Lois
misspelled three times

416
00:30:38,212 --> 00:30:41,966
in her slander piece on extreme makeovers.

417
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:45,469
Lana and Brett are hardly
candidates for plastic surgery.

418
00:30:45,636 --> 00:30:47,138
Yeah, but Abby was.

419
00:30:47,221 --> 00:30:52,059
Didn't Lana say she saw Brett with Abby
right before he went crazy?

420
00:30:52,727 --> 00:30:55,563
Maybe this procedure
made her more beast than beauty.

421
00:31:01,444 --> 00:31:05,531
My parents don't understand.
They say I'm too young for plastic surgery.

422
00:31:06,407 --> 00:31:09,785
Well, some parents
don't remember what it was like.

423
00:31:09,952 --> 00:31:12,455
When I was your age,
I wasn't exactly homecoming queen.

424
00:31:13,581 --> 00:31:17,793
I worked harder than the pretty girls, only
to watch everything get handed to them.

425
00:31:19,420 --> 00:31:22,965
Seven surgeries in two
years changed all that.

426
00:31:28,471 --> 00:31:33,851
You know, I was actually interested
in that new procedure you used on Abby.

427
00:31:34,018 --> 00:31:36,187
Is it true that you only
have to come in once?

428
00:31:36,771 --> 00:31:38,564
That's why I developed the process.

429
00:31:38,731 --> 00:31:41,525
I didn't wanna watch my daughter
go through the pain I endured,

430
00:31:41,692 --> 00:31:44,737
only to have what other girls
are lucky enough to be born with.

431
00:31:46,322 --> 00:31:48,532
So let's get you scheduled here.

432
00:31:49,158 --> 00:31:51,660
Yes, please.

433
00:31:53,454 --> 00:31:55,664
You know, I'm actually
running a little late.

434
00:31:55,831 --> 00:31:58,167
Are you recording this?

435
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:02,171
I'm going to expose you.

436
00:32:02,338 --> 00:32:05,758
Who are you to stop people
from being their best?

437
00:32:05,925 --> 00:32:12,139
Call me crazy. I've always been a firm
believer that beauty, it's on the inside.

438
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:21,440
The only people who say that are those
who already have it on the outside.

439
00:32:25,319 --> 00:32:28,447
- Okay.
- Kind of let the inner slob out, huh?

440
00:32:28,614 --> 00:32:30,074
Yeah, and her name is Lois.

441
00:32:30,241 --> 00:32:32,952
She's been pulling these articles
Abby's mom published

442
00:32:33,119 --> 00:32:37,123
on this new breakthrough
insta-makeover technique,

443
00:32:37,289 --> 00:32:39,041
but Dr. Fine ran into one snag.

444
00:32:39,291 --> 00:32:42,920
It's sending the patients'
serotonin levels into overdrive.

445
00:32:43,796 --> 00:32:46,799
It says Dr. Fine was working on
a suppressant called serythro

446
00:32:46,966 --> 00:32:49,301
to keep the serotonin levels in check.

447
00:32:49,468 --> 00:32:53,347
Maybe it worked,
maybe Abby was a trial run.

448
00:32:54,390 --> 00:32:58,894
Only Abby's seismic surgery
didn't come without aftershocks.

449
00:32:59,061 --> 00:33:03,732
She's passing something to people
that's super-boosting their serotonin.

450
00:33:03,899 --> 00:33:07,695
That makes sense if she kisses Brett,
but what about Lana?

451
00:33:08,112 --> 00:33:10,906
I don't know. All I know is
that Abby's not hallucinating,

452
00:33:11,073 --> 00:33:15,161
so maybe all Lana and Brett need
is a dose of that serythro medication.

453
00:33:19,790 --> 00:33:22,001
It looks like Lois is a step ahead of us.

454
00:33:30,759 --> 00:33:32,178
What are you doing?

455
00:33:32,636 --> 00:33:34,638
Giving you the inside scoop.

456
00:33:36,807 --> 00:33:41,770
You really want to know what it was like
for Abigail all of those years, huh?

457
00:33:42,313 --> 00:33:44,773
Well, you're gonna find out.

458
00:33:55,993 --> 00:33:59,121
And without the suppressant to balance
out your serotonin levels,

459
00:33:59,288 --> 00:34:02,416
you'll be filing your story
from the psych ward.

460
00:35:01,809 --> 00:35:03,727
- Are you okay?
- Get me out of here.

461
00:35:06,522 --> 00:35:08,107
Come on.

462
00:35:22,621 --> 00:35:28,127
I don't know how to tell you this
without sounding really stuck up.

463
00:35:28,294 --> 00:35:31,046
I know you're stuck up.
I wanted to talk to you about that.

464
00:35:31,213 --> 00:35:35,050
- You're funny.
- Yeah, and cute, huh?

465
00:35:37,261 --> 00:35:39,346
Jason, look, I'm being serious.

466
00:35:39,513 --> 00:35:41,307
All right.

467
00:35:42,266 --> 00:35:47,271
Back in freshman year,
I made the cheerleading squad...

468
00:35:47,646 --> 00:35:50,065
And that was my whole identity...

469
00:35:50,816 --> 00:35:55,404
Putting on the face
that I thought everyone wanted to see.

470
00:36:03,912 --> 00:36:07,499
I keep thinking of all the times
that you've told me that I'm beautiful

471
00:36:07,666 --> 00:36:12,379
and, um, I can't help but wonder...

472
00:36:12,546 --> 00:36:15,007
How much of me you really see.

473
00:36:21,180 --> 00:36:27,144
I tell you you're beautiful because of
who you are, not because of what I see.

474
00:36:29,730 --> 00:36:33,776
I mean, you're the girl I flew
halfway across the world to be with.

475
00:36:35,986 --> 00:36:37,613
The girl who

476
00:36:37,780 --> 00:36:41,867
kicks the crap out of me at Xbox
and thinks it's hysterical.

477
00:36:43,118 --> 00:36:44,912
I've seen you with the stomach flu,

478
00:36:45,079 --> 00:36:48,832
where your eyes were puffy and your
nose was running, you're yakking...

479
00:36:48,999 --> 00:36:50,751
Okay, okay. I get the picture.

480
00:36:55,547 --> 00:36:57,549
All I'm saying is...

481
00:36:58,342 --> 00:37:00,803
The reasons I love you...

482
00:37:03,222 --> 00:37:05,557
It's not something you can see in a mirror.

483
00:37:09,937 --> 00:37:13,273
That's good. I'm gonna write
that down and use that later.

484
00:37:29,790 --> 00:37:31,500
I guess practice ran late, huh?

485
00:37:38,966 --> 00:37:41,093
Dad, I'm sorry I disappointed you.

486
00:37:42,469 --> 00:37:44,555
But I'm staying on the team.

487
00:37:47,433 --> 00:37:49,601
I'm tired of living my
life on the sidelines.

488
00:37:49,935 --> 00:37:52,062
I realize that, Clark.

489
00:37:52,896 --> 00:37:56,108
And I also realize that you're
a senior in high school,

490
00:37:56,275 --> 00:37:59,236
and from now on you'll be making
a lot of your own decisions.

491
00:38:03,490 --> 00:38:06,452
But if you want to be
seen as an adult in this family,

492
00:38:06,618 --> 00:38:09,037
then you're gonna have
to start acting like one.

493
00:38:13,709 --> 00:38:19,298
Adults in this family don't run off and
do things without discussing them first.

494
00:38:24,136 --> 00:38:25,888
I know.

495
00:38:27,431 --> 00:38:29,600
That's why I have
just one question for you.

496
00:38:32,519 --> 00:38:34,938
You gonna let some assistant coach
from Metropolis

497
00:38:35,105 --> 00:38:36,857
teach your boy how to play football?

498
00:38:46,325 --> 00:38:48,118
Go deep.

499
00:39:15,187 --> 00:39:17,606
Admiring the genius within, huh?

500
00:39:17,773 --> 00:39:21,026
- It had a typo.
- Oh, nice try.

501
00:39:21,193 --> 00:39:25,364
So I followed up on the Abby story line,
and it looks like mother makeover

502
00:39:25,531 --> 00:39:29,201
is gonna be playing "mirror, mirror"
on the psych ward wall from now on.

503
00:39:29,368 --> 00:39:32,037
- Is Abby gonna be okay?
- Yeah, she'll be back next week.

504
00:39:32,204 --> 00:39:34,248
Are you excited for your first pep rally?

505
00:39:34,414 --> 00:39:36,625
Not the Friday night I've been dreaming of.

506
00:39:36,792 --> 00:39:39,670
Oh, come on. It's your debut
as Smallville's newest celeb.

507
00:39:39,753 --> 00:39:41,296
One plastics "r" us piece

508
00:39:41,463 --> 00:39:43,924
and they'll be holding tables
all over town for me.

509
00:39:44,091 --> 00:39:46,843
You'd be surprised.
Not that I'm ceding my stance

510
00:39:47,010 --> 00:39:51,014
on a woman's right to choose rhinoplasty,
but you've got fan mail.

511
00:39:51,181 --> 00:39:53,600
Looks like your little expose
struck some chords.

512
00:39:53,976 --> 00:39:59,523
I didn't expect anybody to read this, let
alone have a "life-changing experience."

513
00:39:59,690 --> 00:40:01,900
- Please.
- Whatever. Say what you want,

514
00:40:02,067 --> 00:40:04,444
but I know inside it's getting to you.

515
00:40:04,611 --> 00:40:07,364
Welcome to the bullpen, miss Lane.

516
00:40:07,531 --> 00:40:11,743
Now I'm off to see Clark Kent
in a wet t-shirt. Care to join me?

517
00:40:12,744 --> 00:40:14,413
Like I've never seen that before.

518
00:40:21,128 --> 00:40:24,256
J“ so much for my happy ending... j“

519
00:40:25,090 --> 00:40:26,925
keep your eye on the target.

520
00:40:27,759 --> 00:40:30,304
Didn't those guys on the base
teach you anything?

521
00:40:30,929 --> 00:40:32,931
Wouldn't you like to know?

522
00:40:33,223 --> 00:40:35,183
Doesn't matter,
because you're going down.

523
00:40:35,350 --> 00:40:36,393
That'll be the day.

524
00:40:36,602 --> 00:40:38,145
Dunk, dunk, dunk.

525
00:40:38,312 --> 00:40:40,230
Dunk, dunk, dunk, dunk.

526
00:40:40,314 --> 00:40:43,317
J“ don't leave me hanging j“

527
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:48,905
j“ you were everything,
everything that I wanted j“

528
00:40:48,989 --> 00:40:54,161
j“ we were meant to be
supposed to be, but we lost it j“

529
00:40:54,244 --> 00:41:00,292
j“ and all of the memories
so close to me, just fade away j“

530
00:41:00,375 --> 00:41:05,631
j“ we were meant to be
supposed to be, but we lost it j“

531
00:41:05,714 --> 00:41:12,095
j“ and all of the memories
so close to me, just fade away j“

532
00:41:12,179 --> 00:41:15,223
j“ all this time you were pretending j“

533
00:41:15,307 --> 00:41:18,602
j“ so much for my happy ending j“

534
00:41:18,685 --> 00:41:20,729
j“ oh, oh j“

535
00:41:20,812 --> 00:41:23,857
j“ so much for my happy ending j“
