Trailer
Lois: [to Clark] Nice arm,
farm boy.
Chloe: Come on, do you know how many people would kill to
relive their senior year in high school?
Lois: Make that semester. Five more credits and I am out of
this cow pile.
Jason: You know, I’ve seen a lot of guys join the team just
so they can walk around in a letterman’s jacket, because they want
people to look at them differently. But football’s just a game. If
you want to change, you gotta do that yourself.
Clark: That’s why I’m here.
Lois: Think about it, Clark. It’s the start of a new season,
scholarships, the entire town counting on you to be their hero. Who
knows what kind of neuroses are hiding behind that “Big Man on
Campus” mask?
Lex: [to Lana] Must be the same project Clark’s always
working on… For two people so different, you have remarkably
similar interests.
Lex: It still amazes me what you did with this place. You saw
promise in something everyone else thought was beyond redemption.
Lana: Huh- this is a side of Lex Luthor I’ve never seen
before… [with a smile] You’re coming dangerously close to being
nostalgic.
Clark: You don’t have to worry, Dad. I’m not gonna hurt
anyone… I know how to control my abilities.
Jonathan: The person I’m worried about you hurting, Clark, is
yourself.
[Clark stops.]
Jonathan: [concerned] You’re gonna be tempted to run just a
little bit faster, to throw the ball just far enough to win every
game.
Lana: I thought that you said you had a surprise for me. How
did this become about Clark?
Jason: It was strange. He kind of opened up to me today.
Lana: You have no idea how strange that really is.
Jason: Really?
Lana: Yeah.
Jason: [at Lana's bedside] I don’t know if you can even hear
me, Lana… but if you knew how much you meant to me…
[The camera wraps around; Lex is seen standing in the doorway.]
Lex: Well, I guess the polite thing to do is cough and let
you know I’m standing here, but that always seems so forced, doesn’t
it?
Lex: Lex Luthor.
Jason: Jason Teague. I, uh, I work at the school. I’m the new
assistant football coach.
Lex: Teague. As in Marion, Teague, & Weisman?
Jason: That’s my father’s firm.
Lex: And you decided to get as far away from the family
business as possible. Smart move.
Lex: Lana deserves the best. [stops, turns to face Jason] I
hope you’re it.
Lois: Clark! Are you okay?
Clark: Get me out of here.
Lois: Okay.
[Lois helps Clark up and together, they start to leave the room. Dr.
Fine attempts to attack them from behind, only to be swiftly kicked
and knocked out by Lois.]
Lois: [deadpan] *****.
Jason: [to Lana] All I’m saying is the reasons I love you…
it’s not something you can see in a mirror.
Clark: Dad, I’m sorry I disappointed you. But I’m staying on
the team. I’m tired of living my life on the sidelines.
Jonathan: I realize that, Clark. I also realize that you’re a
senior in high school, and from now on, you’re gonna be making a lot
of your own decisions. But if you want to be seen as an adult in
this family, then you have to start acting like one… Adults in
this family don’t run off and do things without discussing them
first.
Clark: I know. That’s why I have just one question for you.
You gonna let some assistant coach from Metropolis teach your boy
how to play football?
[Clark smiles. Jonathan pauses for a moment, but eventually takes
the ball...]
Jonathan: Go deep.
[Jonathan tosses it perfectly, Clark catches it, triumphant.]
Jonathan: [signaling touchdown] Yeah!

Lois: [to Chloe] Uh, no hard feelings here, Cuz, but
unlike you, the last thing I want to be is a reporter
