Chloe Sullivan:
Have you seen Pete?

[realizing what she just said]

Chloe Sullivan:
Sorry. It's, uh... we were supposed to meet this morning and... and double team on my "Daily Planet" column.

Clark Kent:
Is that the column Lionel Luthor helped you land?

Chloe Sullivan:
What's that supposed to mean?

Clark Kent:
I may have lost my sight, but things are becoming much clearer now. Exactly how long have you and Lionel been looking into my life?

Chloe Sullivan:
[reluctantly] Since last spring. The day after Lex's wedding.

Clark Kent:
When you saw me and Lana together. Is that why you did this?

[Chloe doesn't know what to say]

Clark Kent:
Your silence is deafening. What did you give him?

Chloe Sullivan:
Nothing. Nothing he didn't already know.

Clark Kent:
Well, then what is he sharing with you?

Chloe Sullivan:
Nothing. Believe it or not, Clark, I... I was just... I was trying to help you.

Clark Kent:
Oh, by spying on me?

Chloe Sullivan:
No. By... just trying to understand why he's so intrigued with you.

Clark Kent:
And if the "Torch" got a few new computers, and you made a name for yourself at the Daily Planet, that was okay, too. For all the times you accused me of keeping secrets, how could you do this to me?

Chloe Sullivan:
I was... he just... he caught me at an especially bad time, and I caved. I've been trying to get out of it ever since, but when people like Lionel Luthor have you, they don't want to let go. You know, I thought that you out of all people would understand making a stupid decision in a moment of weakness, but I guess I was wrong.
