Overkill...

Lana: Thanks for the afternoon, Clark.
Champagne, truffles. The candy not the fungi, right?
It wasn't even my birthday.

Clark: Overkill? Was it too much?

Lana: No, l loved it.
But normally, that kind of romance
comes with a tag that says: Sorry, I wrecked your car or
''I accidentally slept with your sister.'' Implying that one does
all that when they feel guilty of something?

Clark: Well, to be honest, Lana,
lately you've seemed a little distant.

Now see, I would have guessed the candy. Chocolate truffles are ubiquitous these days, at least in the US, and are marketed as expensive "luxury" candy.

Some of the Lindt Lindor truffles commercials are really over the top. There's one showing a white-hatted chocolatier loving hand-crafting each precious truffle - this for a candy you can buy at the corner drugstore.
