"Hey, Lex?"
::growl:: "Yes, Clark?"
::grin:: "I'm hungry."
"And this is news? You're always hungry."
"So feed me."
::sigh:: "You're lucky I have a lot of spare change lying around."
"I want Chinese food."
"I'm not taking you all the way to Metropolis for Chinese."
"There's a Chinese place here in town."
"Clark, I don't cling to much of my upbringing, but I do tend to pride myself on my discerning palate. I wouldn't touch the Chinese food that came out of Happy Chan's Chinese Cookery."
::pout:: ::idea:: "Hey, Lex!!"
::growl:: "That's not going to work tonight, farmboy."
"No. I mean, I have an idea."
"Will wonders never cease."
"Bite me, Ripley."
"What's this brilliant idea?"
"I'll take us to Metropolis."
"You'll... take us to Metropolis."
"Yep!! C'mon!!" ::grab::
"Clark, what are you doing?"
"Taking us to Metropolis! Hold on!" ::running::
::clinging:: "Well, this is definitely... a unique way to travel."
"Yeah, I know." ::ass grope:: "But it's got an added benefit of groping my passenger."
::tighter cling:: "Yeah, remind me again why we're doing this?"
::another ass grope:: "You mean you don't like being wrapped around me like a terrified monkey?"
"Not when we're traveling in excess of 150 miles an hour and there's no car in sight, no." ::burying face in shoulder::
"I could slow down, and you could buy a new car once we get there and drive us back home."
"Smartass." ::cling:: "Just... let's get there, and then I'll figure out how to get us back."
"So, what are you going to have?"
"My stomach is about to fly out my throat, and you're asking me what food I want? You're a sadist, Clark."
"I want... I think I want sweet and sour chicken. Fried rice. Wonton soup and egg rolls. Maybe shrimp toast."
"Jesus Christ, Clark. Where are you going to put all that?"
"I'm gonna eat it."
"You'll... never mind. I forgot who I'm dealing with here. Forget the shrimp toast; you need crab rangoons."
"What are crab rangoons?"
"They're wonton noodles stuffed with crab meat, spices, and onions. They're very good."
"Never had them. Here we are."
::sliding down:: "Oh, thank God. Well, come on. We're here, might as well get you fed."
"What's wrong with shrimp toast?"
"Nothing, Clark. It's merely a backwater replacement for crab rangoons, and you need your horizons expanded. They're better than shrimp toast and egg rolls combined, so trust me."
"All right."
"Thank you." ::ordering:: "Mu-Shu pork, fried rice, egg drop soup, and crab rangoons."
::ordering too:: "Sweet and sour chicken, fried rice, wonton soup, egg rolls, and crab whatsis."
"Rangoons."
"Rangoons, right." ::waiting:: "I can't believe you don't like Happy Chan's."
"Happy Chan's sounds like the kind of restaurant that serves dog and cat instead of chicken and pork."
"That's DISGUSTING!"
"Which is exactly why I do not dine at Happy Chan's."
"Here are your rangoons, gentlemen. The rest of your meal will be out shortly."
"Here you are, Clark. Try these."
::cautious sniff:: ::nibble::
"Oh, for God's sake!"
::bite:: ::chewing:: "These are good!"
::growl:: "I *told* you they were!"
"Hey, Lex?"
::growl::
"Did I ever tell you that you're kinda sexy when you growl?"
"Eat. Your. Food."
::peering:: "Hey, Lex?"
::snarling:: "YES?"
::innocently:: "I thought you said it wasn't going to work tonight?"
