Have your cape and wear it too...
Clark Kent goes back in time to undo the revealing of his secret.
Chloe: You know, Clark, maybe you can have your cape and wear it, too. There can be two benefits?
Say that Clark Kent, the unassuming journalist,
buttoned up (Wearing?)in a starched shirt and tie, but then, when he's playing the hero...
Clark: He steps out of the shadow into his red and blue,
creating two completely separate identities?
Chloe: Yeah. And for the cherry on top, The best of all? you get to tell lois the truth
and still know her reaction.
Clark: She must never know who I am.
Chloe: Clark, is it safe to say that another benefit of knowing
your secret is getting to protect yourself (Is Chloe talking about herself or about him?)from getting hurt?
Chloe: You know, Clark, maybe you can have your cape and wear it, too. There can be two benefits?

Chloe: You know, Clark, maybe you can have your cape and wear it, too. There can be two benefits? Pretty much. It's something of a play on an old saying, see here: http://en.wikip
