Clark: We Iooked aIike,
but she couIdn't teII the difference?
And then she teIIs him
that they beIong together. Does that mean she doesn't feeI
that way about me?

Chloe: WeII, she isn't exactIy the same girI you
used to trip aII over in high schooI either.

She means to have a crush on, right? Or does she mean it literally since Clark tripped every

time he saw Lana? 

Clark: I don't wanna taIk about this anymore.

Chloe: Right! I'm sorry I brought it up. Meaning she didn't mean to say it?

Hi Madhulk,

time he saw Lana? 


Yes, I'd read it as 'had a crush on', and the 'trip all over' is more figurative than literal.


Meaning she didn't mean to say it?


Not quite; "I'm sorry I brought it up" usually means "I regret saying it".

However, as "Right!" precedes it here, it's more likely that Chloe has taken offence at Clark's "I don't wanna taIk about this anymore.", and she's being sarcastic.
