Twen-mumble-ty, as usual? >.> (whatever works for you, really!)
Maybe when I was seven and my grandma had to baby sit me, but not by choice.
Hrm. Now that you mention it... [Jimmy snaps a picture of the skyline with his Polaroid, then goes digging in his bag for a picture -- of what should be the same section of Metropolis skyline, based on the street signs -- that he took last week. He glances between them both, once the newer Polaroid has developed, brow furrowing. He holds them out to Clark.]
You're a philistine. It's a wonderful movie. A classic.
[When he turns around, he doesn't look at Jimmy right away, focused on the pictures.] I don't know... This - [the new picture] - looks like Metropolis. It's just about what I'd draw if someone told me I should draw the skyline. Most of the major buildings are there.... But they aren't actually like this. [He looks at the other and points]. Lexcorp Tower isn't nearly that close to the Planet globe, see? It's like those old paintings of dinosaurs where they have to squish the T-Rex into the same canvas as the brontosaurus, even though they lived millions of years apart. All the parts you recognize are there,. even though that doesn't make sense.
[He looks up to Jimmy to see if he's following, and ends up staring. Jimmy looks...older.] Are you okay?

'Course not. Didn't you just leave that place?

[Clark doesn't turn around just yet, still scanning the skyline.] I hope that doesn't mean you haven't seen the Wizard of Oz, Jimmy.
Doesn't this look strange to you? Nothing is in quite the right place.

It's different. How is it different?
