Her first words should have

[LOONEY]

been "Oh my God, shut up Clark".......He just kept babbiling about everything...i can relate...i did that....ya me too...oh lord help us!

[thmallville]

I knoW!!!!!!!!!!! He's like "Now you might have trouble telling if this is a picture or the real thing" or something like that and I was like "........." he was like a stalker or something.

Clark was trying TOOOOOOO hard to be 'nice' to her, he just came off as a dork.

I thought she should have had trouble speaking...but then she went into normal voice levels, pronounced everything just fine.

Also even if she talks really low, I can't imagine she tricked everyone else for 8 years that she can't talk. But for the sake of making Clark be the one she talks to, to show trust, it's ok.
