Prove that a straight line on a Lambert conformal conic is a great circle

During a heavy groundschool session recently somebody challenged my assertion that a straight line on a Lambert conformal conic projection was a great circle and asked me to prove it. I said I'd get back to them but at the moment I can't see how to prove it. Help!
