Clark Kent:
[running around the ruins of the farmhouse] MOM! DAD!

Lex Luthor:
[enters] Clark. Thank God you're okay.

Clark Kent:
Where's my mom and dad?

Lex Luthor:
At the hospital. Your mom has a concussion and a broken leg but she's gonna be fine.

Clark Kent:
What about Lana?

Lex Luthor:
Lana's safe. It's Chloe I'm worried about. She was with me in the cave when the meteors hit and I was knocked unconscious and when I came to she was gone.

Clark Kent:
She must have escaped while you were unconscious.

Lex Luthor:
Or someone helped her out.

Clark Kent:
Lex, how could I've...

Lex Luthor:
When I was down in the cave there was a light brighter than anything I've ever seen... and I could've sworn I saw you standing right in its epicenter.

Clark Kent:
I was nowhere near those caves.

Lex Luthor:
If you weren't down in the caves, where have you been?

Clark Kent:
My parents insisted I get a head start. I got a ride on one of the military vans.

Lex Luthor:
Why do I get this nagging feeling your being less than honest with me?

Clark Kent:
I have no idea.

Lex Luthor:
Well, I get the feeling that lying has become an unshakable habit of yours, Clark.

Clark Kent:
I don't have to listen to this.

[Turns his back on Lex]

Lex Luthor:
If you're my friend...

[grabs Clark's arms]

Lex Luthor:
...just tell me the truth. Were you in the cave when the meteors hit?

Clark Kent:
[coldly] No.
