Lois and Clark in “Unfinished Business”

Lois

I thought you would be outside Lana's dorm with your binoculars by now.

Clark

I appreciate your concern, but Lana and I are none of your business.

Lois

Please, Smallville, I've had three exes put under military surveillance. I'm hardly qualified to deal out post-relationship tact. But...it's for some tough love. Lana's going to move on.

Clark

She already has -- Lex.

Lois

And it sucks, but you gotta trust your gut that you did this for a reason. For whatever reasons guys have for dumping hot, smart, fun girls these days. Look, give her some space, Clark. Your whole night-stalker routine? That's gonna any good feelings that Lana has for you.

Clark

If there are any.

Lois

Look, sometimes you gotta tuck your feelings away until it's the right time. Like stuffing dollars into a piggy bank for a bike you can't quite afford.

Clark

Except I can't quite imagine there is anyone is out there.

Lois

Oh, you never know, Clark. Even if you finally crack open that piggy bank, you found all this time you haven't been saving for a bike. You been really saving it for a Harley.

Clark

There are times when think you don't know me at all...and others where I think you know me better than anyone.

Lois

That's what I'm here for, Smallville -- one save at a time.
