- Daddy's office is boring.

Daddy's office is boring?

Clark, hey! Welcome back.

- I see you've already met the munchkin.

- Yeah, we were just talking...

- Did you take vitamins? Eye drops?

- Yes. Yes.

- Albuterol? Poly-Vi-Flor?

- Yes. Yes, Mom.

Good boy. He's a little fragile,

but he's gonna grow up...

...to be big and strong

like his dad, won't you?

- Yes?

- Yes.

Oh, I saw you on the...

Oh, yeah. That was nothing.

- Hey, can I borrow your stapler?

- Oh, yeah.

Thanks.

Congratulations on the Pulitzer.

That's incredible.

Yeah. Can you believe it? It's...

So I wanna hear all about your trip.

Where did you go? What did you see?

Meet anyone special?

Well, there's so much. Where to begin?

Where's the little guy? Hey, kiddo.

- How are you?

- Good.

Can you work some magic

to get your uncle...

...to stop giving me

such a hard time on this article?

- Please?

- Again?

- Again.

- You got it.

- How are you, kiddo?

- Good.

Oh, this is Clark.

- Clark, Richard. Richard, Clark.

- Richard White.

Hi.

Richard's an assistant editor here who's

basically saved our International section.

He's also a pilot

and he loves horror movies.

Clark is...

Well, he's Clark.

Well, it's great to finally meet you.

I've heard so much.

- Oh, you have?

- Yeah, Jimmy won't shut up about you.

- Gotta run.

- Where?

You heard Perry. Superman's back, and

he thinks I'm the only one equipped to...

To what?

- I don't know, you know.

- So don't listen to him.

I'm not. Going to the power plant

to check out the blackout.

Okay.

- Bye, Mom.

- Bye.

- Bye, Lois.

- And she's gone.

No matter how close we are,

that woman will always be a mystery.

If you need anything,

I'm right over there.

Nice to finally meet you.

Where do you wanna go?

Wanna go to the park?

And he's got the whole world

In his hands

He's got the whole world

And he's got the whole world in his...

Oh, he's cute.

Run into trouble?

- Should see the other guy.

- What are we gonna do?

Modify it, attach it to the stern.

I don't care if the instructions

are Russian.

- Lois?

- Hey, Clark.

How does it feel to be back at work?

Pretty good. You know,

kind of like riding a bike, I guess.

- A bike?

- Yeah, you know...

Never mind.

But I was wondering...

...since I've gotten back, we haven't

really had a chance to catch up.

I thought maybe, if you'd like,

we could go grab some food...

- Hey, can I ask you something?

- Sure.

Have you ever met someone and it's like

you're from different worlds...

...but you shared such a connection you

knew you were destined to be together?

Then he just takes off

without explaining why...

...or without even saying goodbye?
