B- These words are taken from scene 2. Match them with their definitions and
insert the words in the blanks in the conversation:
Archaeological -trying to punish or harm somebody,
especially
if he does not obey.

Paranoid -important development or discovery,

especially
in scientific knowledge.

Threatening -related to the study of ancient civilization by

scientific analysis of physical remains found
in
the ground.

Breakthrough -having the tendency to suspect and mistrust

other people.

Lex: Dr. Walden. I got a call this morning from the State Preservation Society.
They heard a rumour that you plan on removing a section of the wall? Now, I of
course told them that you wouldnt consider such a radical move without
consulting me.
Frederick: Its a common . practice.
Lex: Among 19th century imperialists. If I didnt know better, Id say you were
trying to cut me in the process.
Frederick: Youre .
Lex: Really.Give one good reason why I shouldnt fire you right now.
Frederick: Because Im on the verge of a major .
Lex: Will this, uh, breakthrough finally allow you to translate these symbols?
Frederick: Its hard to say now that I wont be able to get a sample back to my
lab. Who tipped the State?
Lex The State is .to revoke LexCorps custodial management
of the cave. Another foundation is chopping at the bit to take over. If my
instincts are correct, I believe my father is behind it. I dont need excuses. I need
answers. Youve got three days.

C- Read what happened in scene 4 and then retell it using your own words.

Chloe is working at her computer in the Torch. Lana enters.

Lana: Hey my hard drive just crashed for the 50th time. I was wondering if Icould
borrow your computer. I need to get a head start on this genealogy assignment.
Chloe: Yeah, sure. I was just turning everything off. So what are you, a Lang or a
Small?
Lana. Right now Im committing to my mothers side of the family.
Chloe: Well, knock yourself out. Ill see you at home?
Lana. Yeah. Chloe, youre a lifesaver.
Chloe: Of course.

Chloe leaves and Lana clicks on Download File. It opens up a list of files and she
moves her mouse on the file called Genealogy Assignment. Higher on the list, she
sees a file called C.K. She hesitates for a moment and then clicks on the file. The
sceen fills up with pictures of Chloe and Clark from the Formal.

Chloe: (re-entering) Did you give up on genealogy or is my personal life more

interesting?
Lana: I I was just looking.
Chloe: So you decided to snoop around.
Lana: Chloe, Im sorry.
Chloe: Dont look at me like that.
Lana: LikeWhat way?
Chloe: Like Im somewhat lovesick loser whos trying to hang onto something that
shes never even had.
Lana: Well, if you have feelings for Clark, maybe you should just tell him.
Chloe: This isnt about me and Clark, Lana. This is about your violating my
privacy. This office and everything in it is now off limits.

Lana gets her things and starts to go.

Chloe: Oh, and by the way, I did tell Clark how I felt. I poured my heart out to him
when he was sick. And in his delirium, the one name he called out was Lana.

Chloe closes the door in Lanas face.

D- Identify who said this to whom, where and when.

1- Hey, son, I didnt mean for it to sound that way. Look, having this child gonna
be a big adjustment for all of us, but it doesnt change the way we feel about you.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2- Theres nothing uncontrolled about the drawing. Its a symbol from wherever
Im from. It means hope.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3- No, but she did tell me she was sorry for what she did. I cant believe..
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------
4- Because I decided that my family wasnt about the people that didnt love me.
Its about people who do love me. No matter what. My friends.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------
5- Ive always wondered what happened to that child, if he survived the journey,
if he lived among us. And three days ago, I saw the symbol for Hope burned onto
the side of a barn in Smallville, and I found that the farmer and his wife had an
adopted son.

F- Order this conversation between Clark and Swann.

Clark: (Reading) We will be with you, Kal-El, for all the days of your life. What
does this mean?

Clark: Planets just dont disappear. What do you think happened to it?

Clark: Tell me something, Doctor. Why are you doing this to me?

Swann: Second screen.

Swann: Im not sure, but one thing Ive learned about science is the value of
patience.

Clark: Why me? There must be a reason why I was sent to this planet.

Swann: You wont find the answers by looking to the stars. Its a journey youll
have to take by looking inside yourself. You must write your own destinyKal-El.
Swann. We all have our windmills, Clark. I need to know Im right. Once I do it,
itll never leave this room.

Clark: Show me.

Swann: Oh, it could be any one of a million different scenarios. War, famine,
disease. I mean, look at the world around us. Is it really hard to believe?

Swann: There was only one message.

Clark: Is that where Krypton is?

Clark: Well, I cant be the only one. There must be others like me.

Swann: No, thats where Krypton was. I followed the signals path billions of miles
out into space. I was hoping to discover its origin but instead, I found nothing.
