this just made my day!
by no way am i affiliated with smallville (because lex and clark would be doing the other kind of growling if i were), and even of lenore, the author of this wonderful, wonderful fic. i didn't even review the first time i read this, and i didn't review now,which i know is bad, but oh well, i'm just too shy to do so. read her fics, and you'll know why. ^_^

"You know, I am standing right here," Clark said, feeling increasingly annoyed to be talked about as if he were invisible. "You could ask me."
Lex fixed him with a hard look. "I'll get to you in a minute."
"Lex, I haven't given criminal procedure a thought since law school. When you find yourself trying to channel Law and Order reruns, you know you're out of your element."
Lex let out his breath in exasperation. "You know, Clark, when you do finally decide to let me in on the big secret--I refuse to say if, I'm going to be an optimist for once--I may actually be able to help you figure out how to avoid situations like this. So you can go to people's rescue without compromising yourself."
