we're barely friends.

to pull away...

by his attraction to you.

as a Red Sox fan to the Yankees.

Well, he may not know it yet.

caught us together. You feel it too.

you would've ended up like her other dates.

508
00:39:54,778 --> 00:39:57,338
You know,
she said some weird things to me.

509
00:39:58,414 --> 00:39:59,472
Really?

510
00:40:00,650 --> 00:40:02,413
She said she was my soul mate.

511
00:40:04,685 --> 00:40:09,122
I think you can do a little bit better
than a man-eating meteor freak.

512
00:40:09,956 --> 00:40:14,689
I know she's not the one,
but it got me to thinking.

513
00:40:16,327 --> 00:40:19,194
Chloe showed me this love letter
she wrote to me years ago.

514
00:40:19,363 --> 00:40:22,855
And her feelings were really intense.

515
00:40:24,733 --> 00:40:28,260
And Chloe was right there in front of me
and I never realized how she felt.

516
00:40:30,436 --> 00:40:33,894
What if my soul mate comes along
and I'm too blind to see it?

517
00:40:36,441 --> 00:40:37,601
I don't know, Smallville.

518
00:40:37,775 --> 00:40:43,543
I think that when the right girl
walks into your life, you'll know.

519
00:40:47,147 --> 00:40:48,637
What did Maxima say to you?

520
00:40:52,051 --> 00:40:54,110
Nothing for the front page.

521
00:40:54,986 --> 00:40:58,114
Well, I gotta go. I'm meeting
with a Realtor, finding my own place.

522
00:40:58,289 --> 00:41:01,952
Those lovebirds are so sweet,
my teeth will rot if I don't move out.

523
00:41:02,125 --> 00:41:04,150
Hey, Lois, um...

524
00:41:05,194 --> 00:41:07,856
You were right. This house is pretty big.

525
00:41:09,397 --> 00:41:11,729
If you want your old room back,
it's yours.

526
00:41:13,333 --> 00:41:17,326
Being housemates didn't work out for us
the first time, Smallville.

527
00:41:17,503 --> 00:41:19,300
Why tempt fate?
