"Clark, why is there a box sitting on my desk?"

"Because I got you a present."

"The occasion?"

"Does there have to be one? I saw it when I was out in the mall today, and I bought it cause it made me laugh thinking of you when you see it."

"You don't have to buy me things, Clark."

"Will you shut up and just open it already? Geeze, it's not like I bought you a truck."

"It's... a fish."

"It's a bass."

"I gathered that. Big Mouth Billy Bass."

"Yeah! And he sings too. Check it out."

*Take me to the river...*

"I'm... without words, Clark."

"Is that a good thing, Lex?"

"Yes, it's definitely a good thing. The words I could say... are escaping me."

"I told you. I knew it'd surprise you. I just didn't imagine you speechless. I saw you doing the whole roadkill thing."

"Roadkill thing?"

"Yeah, roadkill thing. You get this look on your face sometimes when people give you things or get too close to you, and it looks like you're holding week-old roadkill in your hand because of the way your mouth quirks up."

"Again, I have no words."

"Wow. I could definitely live with speechless."

"You... amaze me, Clark."

"Yeah, I'm just an amazing kind of guy. So, where are you putting Billy?"

"The coat--I mean, the wall behind my desk?"

"Yeah! Liven the office up. Plus... check out the switch. You can make it play whenever you want to."

"I'm sure that I will. Clark... you realize a fish doesn't exactly match the rest of my decor..."

"So be daring. Dare to accessorize."

"You've been watching Trading Spaces again, haven't you?"

"Oh yeah."

"That does it. No more HGTV for you."
