What Lies Beneath

"Lois, would you please just tell me what's bothering you? Is it the Natalie thing? Is it... No! This is what is bothering me! That you left our 15-year-old son home alone to have sex. You're acting like I did something wrong. And you're acting like this isn't a big deal."

- Clark Kent and Lois Lane
