At the beginig...

Clark: Hello? Anybody home?
Jonathan: Hey. Pull up a microphone, son.

Clark: Hi, Chloe. What's going on?

Chloe: Since I couldn't find you all day, I decided to start my biographical inquiry at the beginning.
(She means the beginnig of it all (him) - his parents, right?)
And unlike a certain so-called friend of mine, your parents gracefully agreed to be interviewed.

Martha: Chloe's been asking us some very interesting questions, Clark.

Chloe: Thank you. Um, now, we just have a few more to go so... We were talking about the early days.
Now, what was involved in adopting Clark?

Jonathan: W-well, it was just like any normal adoption, I guess.

Chloe: Okay, well, can you take me through the process? Did it take weeks or months?
I mean, did you guys use a lawyer or did you go through an agent-- Shoot. I'm out of tape.
That's okay. I've got some extra C-90s in my car. I'll be right back.

Martha: Chloe's researching your life for a school project?

Jonathan: When did that happen?

Clark: We just got the assignment today. I didn't know she was going to go Mike Wallace on me.

Jonathan: Look, so, we don't mind talking about you.
But if she starts asking questions about the adoption...

Clark: What about the adoption? Is there something I should know?

Jonathan: Well, of course we had to make up a story, (think up an excuse not to tell her the truth?)
but it's a little more complicated than that.
