Hack...
-I had a feeling you're too much of cynic for such an uplifting piece.
But hey, CK will be all over this. Over it as in he won't be cynical/sceptical?
-As shocking as it might
seem, Smallville is no hack. No talent writer?
Next situation:
Jimmy: And whatever you do keep it on the down low.
If Lois gets a wind of this she's gonna
be all over it (Lois is a journalist. So does it mean to chase the story?)
like a pit bull on a poodle.
Clark: Don't worry. I won't tell a soul. He won't tell anyone?

Hack: a person, as an artist or writer, who exploits, for money, his or her creative ability or training in the production of dull, unimaginative, and trite work; one who produces banal and mediocre work in the hope of gaining commercial success in the arts "to be all over it" means to be excessively and enthusiastically (gleefully) critical of something. Here is a quote: As a matter of fact, I cringe every time I see/hear an inconsistency in his message, whether it's significant or not (95% agreement with Bush vs. 90%), because I know that conservatives are going to be all over it, but it's not categorically lying.
