"I wish they'd never printed that story either. I wasn't aware you felt so alone."
"I wanted to ask you all this because I never really got a chance to talk to the other Clark... Clarks very much," she amended. "When the first one -- he had the memories of about two dozen versions of you -- when he told me about your double life, I was angry. Clark and Superman are both Boy Scouts, and you'd both been lying to me the entire time." She didn't seem particularly angry now, at least.
"I understand a little better now why you did what you did. But it's different hearing the answers from you. I like getting them from you. I've been dying to ask them for a year and a half." For a reporter like Lois, that was an eternity.
