Just then, Lois is walking by and runs right into Clark's chest as he turns. She somehow lands in his arms, dipped. "Whoa!" she says. Clark frowns. "Clumsy but... cute," she says, smiling. Clark looks really perturbed. He puts her back on her feet as Jimmy rises from his seat, alarmed. Jimmy asks if Lois is ready for an ace photographer to shoot tomorrow's "Column One." Sure, is there one around? Lois tells him to put his camera back in his pants (why?!) and to make a delivery for her, ASAP. She hands Jimmy an envelope. Lois offers her hand and introduces herself to Clark. He shakes it and tells her his name. She asks if Clark always bowls women over the first time he meets them. No, but he does seem to have that effect on desperate billionaires. Clark frowns again. This chick is totally confounding him. Jimmy tells Lois not to be so hard on him: he says Clark's old girlfriend is doing the Last Tango in Paris with some French philanthropist. She's having anal sex with butter? Because, seriously, that's what people think you mean when you throw that movie reference around. Lois says Clark doesn't have to act brave. "I know all about unrequited love," she assures him. She says she's had more heroes exit stage left than a Greek tragedy. Clark and Jimmy exchange a look. Lois says that talking about it helps. Talking about it endlessly and nonsensically, on the other hand, just annoys. She says she'll be at O'Malley's after work and offers to buy Clark a cold one. Brewskis! Sweet!
