Clark and Lex in “Unfinished Business”

Clark

I just came by to see if you were all right. I heard you had some trouble in Metropolis.

Lex

News travels fast.

Clark

Curse of a small town. So what happened?

Lex

I decided to play cowboy and got my spurs handed to me. To be honest, I don't know why I'm not dead.

Clark

There must be someone watching over you.

Lex

In more ways than one.
