Wake Up [3.7]

M'yrnn: What are these empty rooms for? J'onn: It's... not much, but um... it's an apartment, to live in. I never thought I'd see you again, Father. Not after the invasion. I'd gotten so used to living here on Earth on my own. Work has always made me feel productive, useful. But you're so right. I have isolated myself in my work. When I was a child, you taught me to always see the beauty in life. I've lost sight of that over the years. M'yrnn: Nothing is ever lost for good. It may not be Mars, but there is much beauty to be found on this planet. J'onn: There is. M'yrnn: I am here for you now, son. J'onn: I know. That's why we're here. M'yrnn: At this apartment? J'onn: I thought it might be a better fit than the D.E.O., for both of us. M'yrnn: You shall move here, too? J'onn: We could make this our... home. If you like.

M'yrnn

I would like that, very much.

Crisis on Earth-X, Part 1 [3.8]

Main article: Crisis on Earth-X

This episode is Part One of a four-part crossover event called Crisis on Earth-X. For quotations, see the related page.

Supergirl (TV series)

Reign [3.9]

Mon-El: Strange as it may sound, the 31st century is actually not that different from today. Winn: What, better smartphones? Imra Ardeen: What's a "phone"? Winn: [amused] "What's a phone?" Awww... The future's awesome.

Mon-El

Well, technology is developed beyond imagining. But, at the end of the day, it's still in service of communicating with each other. And entertaining each other. And also killing each other. In this day or in a thousand years, conflict is constant. But so is strength.

Supergirl (TV series)

Reign [3.9]

M'yrnn: J'onn, I do not know why you introduced me to koff-ee first. This brown water is vastly superior. J'onn: Yeah, I don't take advantage of hot cocoa enough. M'yrnn: I enjoy "Krist-mas". [regards a Christmas tree] What a wonderful way to close your year. Paying homage to an evergreen creature. It so reminds me of Life Day. Winn: Excuse me. Hi. Life Day? As in the Star Wars Holiday Special? It was on CBS? Princess Leia, like, sang a song... you have no idea what I'm talking about. [realizing] Oh my god, you don't... know what Star Wars is. [to J'onn] You probably don't know what Star Wars is. J'onn: Excuse me? The Empire Strikes Back is the best movie sequel of all time! Winn: Ah, man, I just love you more and more each day.

M'yrnn

What's a "sequel"?

Supergirl (TV series)

Reign [3.9]

[Lena and James are confronting Edge regarding the Reign symbols appearing throughout National City.] Edge: Ah, Lena, Lena! C'mon, it's Christmas! Where's your Christmas spirit? It's my favorite time of the year. The only fires I'm lighting are the ones I'm gonna roast chestnuts over. And if you think I had anything to do with going after you, which you sure as hell can't prove, my line of attack would be much, much more effective. [indicating James] Is that why you brought your bodyguard? James: I'm here just to make sure that you remain... civil. Edge: [gets right in James' face] Jimmy, I get the feeling your dislike for me is... more than just purely professional.

James

You get feelings?

Supergirl (TV series)

Reign [3.9]

Mon-El: Look, Imra... she feels really bad that she upset you. That wasn't, that was not her intention. Kara: Oh, no, she didn't do anything wrong. She was very kind and, uh, generous. And you know, she's smart and beautiful, and even though she looks like a Greek goddess, I can't find any reason to hate her. But am I okay with this?.... No. Mon-El: Kara,--

Kara

No, stop. Please, Mon-El, I... I see this very clearly for what it is. We're just three good people stuck in a really crappy situation. But, you know what? At least two of us still get to be happy. [walks away, then turns around, barely containing herself] And just for the record, Mon-El, I really am trying to be okay with this, but.... this is... this is worse than... the worst thing that I could possibly imagine, and that's you... looking at me with no love in your eyes. So please, just... please. [walks off]

Supergirl (TV series)

Legion of Superheroes [3.10]

Alex: Ooo. Your eye. What happened to you? Coville: Oh, I was spreading the truth to my fellow inmates. They would have preferred I lie. Alex: Do you want to spread a little truth to me? I'll pass it along to Supergirl. You're her biggest fan, right? She said that you knew about the Reign of the Beast. What else do you know that can help us beat her? Coville: Beat her? She's already won. Alex: No. Supergirl's still alive. Coville: She was supposed to rise, find her faith, and deliver it. But Supergirl refused her faith and she failed the test. Alex: Supergirl will defeat her. You just have to help us stop her. Coville: Supergirl lost so that Reign can prepare us for what comes next.

Alex

Never underestimate Supergirl.

Supergirl (TV series)

Legion of Superheroes [3.10]

J'onn: No Supergirl. No cavalry. Reign is strong. But she doesn't know what we're capable of. Let's show her. Alex: You ready? [tosses J'onn a gun]

J'onn

I just had a conversation about James Olsen's extraordinary kissing ability. This'll be a Sunday picnic.

Supergirl (TV series)

Legion of Superheroes [3.10]

Mon-El: We have people counting on us in the future, and we can't get involved. Imra: You keep saying that. That this isn't our fight. What about Tommy and Gina? Hmm? "You live for the fight when it's all that you've got." Mon-El: Bon Jovi. Imra: Or was that all a lie? Mon-El: No. No, he speaks the truth.

Imra

I know we had a plan. We are supposed to help people. We're sworn to helping people. But these people need our help right now. It's who we are.

Supergirl (TV series)

Legion of Superheroes [3.10]

Mon-El: I was really worried about you. When you didn't wake up. I still care about you. Kara: I know. Mon-El: [walks off, then turns back] It's great fighting with you again. Kara: Yeah. Mon-El: I missed that. [walks back into the infirmary] [Brainy walks by.] Kara: Hey! It's you. Are you shorter? Brainy: Are you suggesting that I augmented my height when I entered your consciousness, so that you might see me as a more stable and trustworthy figure and therefore work with me to help you? Kara: ... uh, Yeah?

Brainy

Yes. I did do exactly that. [Kara laughs] It's nice to meet you in real life. [walks off]

Supergirl (TV series)

Fort Rozz [3.11]

Alex: Well, I'm... I mean, I'm not doing anything. So I'm happy to have Ruby here with me. Samantha: No, I couldn't ask you. Look at your leg. Ruby: Come on, Mom, let me stay with Alex. At the Christmas party, she promised to teach me how to punch without breaking my thumb. Alex: Full disclosure: I am not a good babysitter. Kara: Yeah. You should listen to her 'cause one time, she made me watch The Shining, and I had nightmares for weeks. Alex: Um, okay, she was fifteen -- Kara: So?

Alex

So... you were the one who wanted to watch it.

Supergirl (TV series)

Fort Rozz [3.11]

[Winn is showing Brainy the D.E.O. command center.] Winn: Aaand this is where the magic happens, my friend. From here, we can monitor and communicate with the Legion cruiser any time throughout their entire mission. Brainy: [looking around] Incredible. You actually rely on this to keep people safe. This is the technology that backs up Supergirl when she goes into battle? Winn: [hesitant] It.. is. Yes.

Brainy

She is so much braver than I ever knew. I've seen espresso machines with more processing power.

Supergirl (TV series)

Fort Rozz [3.11]

Livewire: So this Reign character. We're getting information so we can kill her? Kara: No. Of course not. The priestess will have information that I could use to get through to her. Livewire: What?! You and your Pollyanna B.S. You think you're gonna get through to Reign. Kara: I got through to you. There must be something good in you that I could trust to come with me. Livewire: I came with you because there's a maniac on the loose and I wanna take her down. If you think I wouldn't fry you right now,-- Kara: So do it. [They stare each other down.] Livewire: All I'm saying is somebody as evil as Reign deserves to die. Kara: And anyone else who thinks otherwise is just a sucker?

Livewire

Now you're catching on.

Supergirl (TV series)

Fort Rozz [3.11]

Kara: Can you tell me about Reign? Jindah Kol Rozz: She will destroy you. Kara: I've heard otherwise. Jindah Kol Rozz: You know nothing of the nature of destruction. You are a child, living in light. But there is darkness in all things. In every soul you know. Who will it take? Kara: No one. If I have anything to say about it. Jindah Kol Rozz: Oh. You fly too close to the sun. I have languished in pain for time beyond reason because of you. The children of light. But your pretty skin will soon be brittle scales in hellfire when the others awake and unite beneath the standard of Reign. Kara: Others? What do you mean "Others"?

Jindah Kol Rozz

Worldkillers. The Power! The Pustulence! The Purity!

Supergirl (TV series)

For Good [3.12]

Samantha: Um, so I looked up my symptoms. Memory loss, headaches. It could be really bad. Like, brain tumor bad. ALS.

Alex

You know what else causes memory loss. Caffeine withdrawal. Yikes.

Supergirl (TV series)

For Good [3.12]

Lena: You know, Edge, you act like a bully, but underneath it all, you are scared to death of a powerful woman you can't control. You're so terrified you would sacrifice kids, poison our water, do just about anything to kill me and get rid of the problem. Edge: Then you got it wrong, Lena. I like powerful women, Nay, I love powerful women. But you're not a powerful woman. You're wasting away in that ivory tower. Posing as Cat Grant. Hoping that the gleam of liberal media gonna somehow magically rub off on you. I don't have to kill you, Lena. You're already dead. [turns and walks to his car] Enjoy the eggs, kids. They're mediocre, you'll fit right in. Lena: Burn in Hell, Edge.

Edge

[grins] I hear the company's fantastic.

Supergirl (TV series)

For Good [3.12]

Lena: What are you doing here, Mother? Lillian: What do you think? A man has been trying to assassinate my daughter, I came back to kill him. Lena: How sweet. Now what are you really doing here? Lillian: You know, you really hurt me, Lena. No matter how hard I try to show it, you still doubt my love for you. Do you know of any other mother who would kill for her daughter?

Lena

No, I don't. It's probably a good thing for society.

Supergirl (TV series)

For Good [3.12]

[Lillian has donned the LEXO armored battlesuit to kill Edge. Supergirl lands in-between them.] Supergirl: Suit's a bit much, don't you think?

Lillian

Says the girl in a cape.

Supergirl (TV series)

Both Sides Now [3.13]

[As the D.E.O. search the house, a woman's voice can be heard singing.] J'onn: Is that Lisa Loeb?

Mon-El

I thought the target's name was Julia Freeman.

Supergirl (TV series)

Both Sides Now [3.13]

Samantha: It's been a rough couple of months, I feel like we can both play a little hooky. Ruby: Oh, my God, you're being serious. Samantha: I'm serious. Sound like a plan? Ruby: Hell, yeah. Samantha: You get precisely one "Hell, yes" a day. I hope you enjoyed that.

Ruby

Okay.

Supergirl (TV series)

Both Sides Now [3.13]

Kara: Alex, wait, listen to me. I am used to you being pragmatic, but since when have you become so hard and cynical? Alex: Well, not all of us are bulletproof, Kara! Kara: I know. Alex: So cynicism... that's what's keeping the rest of us alive.

Kara

Seems like it's killing you. My sister, the sister I know, she has compassion for others.

Supergirl (TV series)

Both Sides Now [3.13]

[J'onn, carrying two bottles, walks in on Mon-El.] Mon-El: Thought you left J'onn: [in a low voice] I did, but uh... only to get these. Come on. [Mon-El comes over and hands him a bottle.] It's sort of, uh... Martian moonshine. It's kinda spicy. It has a consciousness-enhancing quality to it. Mon-El: This has a label.

J'onn

Oh, yeah. I sell it to the alien bars. Doing quite well.

Supergirl (TV series)

Both Sides Now [3.13]

Mon-El: Winn, hey, I heard you fixed it (the Legion cruiser). How did you Winn: I... I mean, I, I assisted. Imra: That was a little more than an assist. He reset Morran math, the chronorunner and time measurement system on a scale of twelve instead of ten. Winn: Yes, sort of how in America, we use inches instead of the metric system. They must have switched over before this here battery was invented, which actually, you know, gives me hope for America. Mon-El: So we were overloading the fuel cells. Winn: Bingo. Mon-El: Thanks, Winn.

Winn

I mean, if you really want to thank me, you could, uh... let me take this out for a test drive. Just sayin'.

Supergirl (TV series)

Schott Through the Heart [3.14]

[Winn has just learned his father died.] James: You mind if I stay out here for a second with you? Winn: [struggling with his feelings] Like, he's just gone, right? That's, that's all. I mean, it's not like anything's gonna change. I... never talked to him, never saw him, I.... James: That doesn't mean you never felt him. Winn: Uh, I'm supposed to be feeling something, right? I don't feel... [gestures emptily] anything... I don't think... um,... Just go inside. James: I'm not going back in.

Winn

Okay.

Supergirl (TV series)

Schott Through the Heart [3.14]

Mon-El: Hey, I, uh... I owe you an apology. Kara: For what? Mon-El: When we were together, I never really got... how it must have been for you to find out that I had been lying. About being Daxxam's prince, about a lot of stuff. And I am sorry that I did that to you. Kara: I do really appreciate you saying that. Mon-El: Yes, of course. Kara: Are you okay? Mon-El: Uh, yeah, Imra... Imra lied to me. About, um,... about something big. With Legion business. And Brainy was in on it, too. Kara: Oh. Wow. Mon-El: Yeah. When your wife conspires with your best friend, it

Kara

Feels like garbage.

Supergirl (TV series)

Schott Through the Heart [3.14]

Alex: You've chosen to live as a black man in America. Which is a harder existence, in and of itself. Why? J'onn: You know, I was... I was forced to become Hank Henshaw out of desperation, but now I, I choose this face. I like it. And I wouldn't want to live in a world where I need to change the color of my skin to feel safe, to feel seen, to feel like... I'm not a target. I'd rather change the world. M'yrnn: And whatever my son's fight may be, I choose it as well.

Alex

And I have your backs.

Supergirl (TV series)

Schott Through the Heart [3.14]

Mary Schott: Sorry about the mess. Kara: Oh, this? This is... that's not your fault Mary: Can I ask, uh, when it comes to your day-to-day, on a scale of one to ten... how big of a pain in the ass are flying monkeys?

Kara

Maybe a two.

Supergirl (TV series)

In Search of Lost Time [3.15]

Winn: I have done something amazing. Kara: Did you find Pestilence? Winn: I have done... something okay. [to Mon-El] You. Come here. Mon-El: What? Winn: I have fixed your old suit. Mon-El: Winn. [hugs Winn, lifting him off the ground] Winn: [to Kara] Hey, can I say it? Can I say it? Please? Kara: Yes.

Winn

[to Mon-El] Suit up.

Supergirl (TV series)

In Search of Lost Time [3.15]

M'yrnn: Now come. Play a match with me. I never tire of beating you. J'onn: I gotta get back to work. Why don't you bring the game to the D.E.O.? We can play later. M'yrnn: As soon as I finish my game against Zook (J'onn's childhood imaginary friend).... [looks around, confused] He was right here. Where is he? J'onn: [concerned] Dad? M'yrnn: [winks at J'onn, who becomes visibly relieved.] A joke. J'onn: Not funny, Dad.

M'yrnn

Only because you did not see your face.

Supergirl (TV series)

In Search of Lost Time [3.15]

Lena: An employee of mine asked for help with a problem. And now that I've diagnosed the solution, they don't want to accept it. James: Sounds like they need an intervention. Lena: Tried that. It's not going well. James: Yeah, I had a roommate, in college. Great guy, but he started taking something. I'm not sure what it was, but he would come home, all hours of the night, and just tear the place apart. I tried to tell him that he had a problem, but he never wanted to hear it. So I just kept cleaning up after him. Lena: Did he ever acknowledge what was wrong with him?

James

See, that's the thing. No matter how bad you want to help somebody, all you can really do is hold up a mirror.

Supergirl (TV series)

In Search of Lost Time [3.15]

Kara: [upon seeing Mon-El in costume] Wow. Mon-El: You always said I cleaned up nicely. It's just like old times, huh? Training again? Kara: Except I basically had to twist your arm to train. You had no interest in being a hero. And now....

Mon-El

We've come a long way.

Supergirl (TV series)

In Search of Lost Time [3.15]

J'onn: I can face down the toughest adversaries without fear, but talking to my father about this (his dementia).... [regains his composure] I don't want to take away more from him than he's already lost. I just got him back. The practice of ta'ha kareek keeps him as close to the man I've always known. I... I don't want to give that up.

Kara

My uncle Jor-El used to say "The son becomes the father, and the father the son."

Supergirl (TV series)

Of Two Minds [3.16]

[An unfamiliar person walks into the D.E.O. lab.] Alex: [drawing her gun] Hey! Stop right there. Mon-El: Whoa. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Guys, it's Brainy. Brainy: Oh, of course. I'm wearing a personal image inducer. [touches his forehead, regains his alien appearance] I had to purchase some apple cider vinegar and I nearly caused a riot at the Piggly Wiggly. Kara: Huh. Brainy: [resuming his illusory disguise] I thought this would, uh... help me fit in better. Winn: [walking in] Hey, guys. I just got word from City H-- [sees the disguised Brainy] .... Hi, Brainy Kara: Wait, you-you recognize him?

Winn

Yeah. What, is that an image inducer? Eh? Ah, so our brains just think we're seeing a human, but nooo. Hey, can I borrow that for Halloween?

Supergirl (TV series)

Of Two Minds [3.16]

Dr. Grace Parker: Well, if you're sure it's not contagious, then I need the quarantine lifted and the patients transferred to the nearest trauma facility. Alex: We have a lead on a treatment. Grace: You do? Already? Winn: Well, we work very fast on account of being really smart. [smiles goofily] Grace: Some people find humor charming during stressful circumstances. I find it's a mask for a lack of confidence.

Winn

Well, I find that... I have no retort.

Supergirl (TV series)

Of Two Minds [3.16]

Kara: Do you think I'll get through to Pestilence? J'onn: There's no way of knowing. You just have to try. Kara: That's not what Yoda would say.

J'onn

Oh, yeah. Yoda. "Do or do not." He was wrong about that one.

Supergirl (TV series)

Of Two Minds [3.16]

Mon-El: We took an oath when we formed the Legion: to preserve all that is good and to never harm the innocent. How is this mission in line with that? We should not kill Pestilence. [off Brainy's look] And you're obviously on Imra's side.. Brainy: It's not about picking sides, Mon-El. If we kill Pestilence when we find her, there is a 98.459 percent chance the Blight will never happen. Millions of people will be saved. Now, if we try to rescue the person inside of her in order to defeat her, that chance is reduced to 52.744 percent.

Mon-El

Some decisions can't be made with a math equation.

Supergirl (TV series)

Of Two Minds [3.16]

Grace: My mother used to always say that good would be rewarded with grace. But when I became a surgeon, I finally saw the truth. There is no reward for being good. Kara: Whatever is happening to you doesn't give you power over who lives. Only over who dies. You don't want that. [holds out her hand] We can stop it. Grace: [takes Kara's hand] Stop it. Why would I ever want to stop it? This is the greatest thing that's ever happened to me. I don't have to worry about saving anyone anymore because I don't want to. [shoves Kara's hand away] Kara: No. Grace: I get to choose who dies. Kara: Grace.

Grace

They say that surgeons have a God complex, but it's simple. [speaks in Pestilence's voice] I. Am. A god!

Supergirl (TV series)

Trinity [3.17]

J'onn: So, for three weeks, you've been harboring and abetting a mass murderer? Lena: I helped a friend. J'onn: And you didn't think to bring this to our attention?

Lena

The attention of a clandestine organization that has never formally acknowledged its existence to me? No, I am not your employee. I have not signed a contract, nor sworn an oath. I conducted an L-Corp experiment using L-Corp technology on L-Corp property.

Supergirl (TV series)

Trinity [3.17]

Kara: I'm just tired. Brainy said it would be hard for me to carry both of you in here. Is this what it's like when humans exercise? This is terrible! Why would you ever exercise?

Alex

One foot in front of the other.

Supergirl (TV series)

Trinity [3.17]

Lena: What I did wasn't personal. Alex: You had a stash that kills Kryptonians, Lena. It's personal. Lena: I would never use it for that. You know that. Kara: I thought I knew everything I needed to know, but you have secrets. It changes things. Lena: Ah, right. You don't like secrets. Kara: Nope, I don't. Lena: Good. What's your real name? Kara: That's not a great question for a Luthor to ask someone in my family.

Lena

You have secrets? I can get on board with that. I have secrets, too.

Supergirl (TV series)

Trinity [3.17]

Kara: Hey. Hey. Uh... Cool new suit! Alex: Winn did me a solid. [offers Winn a fist bump] Winn: [returning the bump] Yes! Upgrades! Alex: Well, I have been asking the director of the D.E.O. for one for years, but... just kept getting denied. J'onn: Blame it on Congress. I don't write our budgets. Besides, don't you miss your polo? It looked like it was sweat-wicking. Alex: [mock-serious] I have a really cool new gun. Don't think it won't work on you.

J'onn

[in good humor] Don't shoot.

Supergirl (TV series)

Trinity [3.17]

Lena: Surprised you'd want to see me. James: You know, for quite some time, I've been looking for any reason, any reason I could to distrust you. It's not your fault, it's just, um... Lex baggage, whatever. But for the last two years, you have done nothing but prove me wrong. Lena: Until now. James: No. No. The way I see it, your friend came to you with something unbearable. You tried your best to help her carry it. You did everything in your power to help her, regardless of what that might look like to other people when they found out. And that's beautiful. That's somebody I want to know. Lena: Really?

James

Yeah.

Supergirl (TV series)

Shelter From The Storm [3.18]

Brainy: When I first got here, I assessed you as a first-level intellect. Winn: [deadpan] Thank you. Brainy: As reference, I'm a twelfth. Winn: Oh, yes. Yes, you've mentioned that. Brainy: But now that I've gotten to know you, I realize that you're actually, more accurately categorized as a one-point-four-two level intellect.

Winn

[deadpan] Wow. Thank-thank you.

Supergirl (TV series)

Shelter From The Storm [3.18]

Supergirl: You think I should be grateful that you learned how to make the one substance on this planet that can kill me? Lena: Thousands of things can kill me, Supergirl. And everyone else on this planet. Fire, but we don't go around banning bonfires or candles. Cars kill people every day, and yet we still have the courage to get in them every morning and drive ourselves to work. There is one element on the planet that kills Kryptonians, and you can't tolerate its existence. Supergirl: No. Lena: You really do have a God complex. Supergirl: Do you know what it's like to walk into a room and your skin feel like it's going to be seared off your bones? Or like nails are running through your blood? That's what kryptonite feels like.

Lena

Well, I don't know, it sounds like exactly what you need to subdue Reign.

Supergirl (TV series)

Shelter From The Storm [3.18]

[An unmasked Reign advances on Ruby, intending to kill her, when Supergirl intercedes.] Supergirl: No! You can't ! Reign: You would stop me?

Supergirl

I don't have to. You have a code. A purpose. You fight against evil and you dispense justice. You're here to make a better world. One without sin in it. But this girl (indicating Ruby) has not sinned. You can't kill her. You won't.

Supergirl (TV series)

Shelter From The Storm [3.18]

M'yrnn: I discovered the most incredible thing today. Did you know if you grind the k'off eee beans with the cocoa beans, you get the most delectable mixture. It makes the flavor sensors of my mouth... smile. J'onn: [laughing, happy] It's called a mocha, Father. M'yrnn: Mooh-ka. Hm. I would have thought... "choco k'off eee".

J'onn

"Choco k'off eee". You know, that does kind of have a ring to it.

Supergirl (TV series)

Shelter From The Storm [3.18]

[Lena runs into Kara on an elevator, still unaware that Kara is Supergirl.] Kara: Alex tells me that you're helping Supergirl fight Reign. I'm sure she's so grateful for your help. Lena: Well... frankly, I am only working with Supergirl to save Sam, because I have no other choice. Kara: What do you mean? Lena: Well, it's that old adage: "Never meet your idols." You know? It'll only lead to disappointment? Kara: [subdued] Oh, yes. Lena: Supergirl's not all truth and justice like she pretends to be. You know, she had James break into L-Corp and search my private vault? Kara: .... I'm sure she had a really good reason. Lena: Of course, James didn't do it. Kara: Really?

Lena

Well, no. We've been dating each other for months. He knows me and he trusts me, and I trust him. Supergirl went behind my back and used my personal relationships against me. That's like something my mother would do. She crossed a line. And I can never trust her again.

Supergirl (TV series)

The Fanatical [3.19]

James: Kara. Something happen with Reign? Kara: No, actually it's... it's Lena. Why did you tell her that Supergirl asked Guardian to go into her lab to find kryptonite? Now she has a problem with me. James: She does not have a problem with you. She couldn't wait to see you this morning. She was talking about you. Kara: She couldn't wait to see . Not Supergirl. She has a problem with Supergirl. [sighs] Supergirl can't tell her that she can actually trust me because I'm her best friend, . But can't tell her why Supergirl took it so personally that she was using kryptonite behind her back because... Lena doesn't actually know that I'm Supergirl.

James

You know what you said is really confusing, right?

Supergirl (TV series)

The Fanatical [3.19]

J'onn: [Seeing books about grief] Some light reading? Alex: Yeah, I'm just trying to figure out how to reach Ruby. You know, I mean, I lost my dad as a teenager, so I figured "Hey, I should be a natural" at helping her get through this whole ordeal with her mom. But nothing I have tried is working. So I bought every book that I could find on helping kids deal with trauma. J'onn: I'd imagine none of those books have chapters on what to do when your mother's a Worldkiller who tried to murder you.

Alex

Hm. You know, they left that one out.

Supergirl (TV series)

The Fanatical [3.19]

Supergirl: I just don't want one mistake to ruin our friendship, that's all. Lena: It won't. Supergirl: Good. Lena: We don't have a friendship, Supergirl. All this time we've been working together, it's been about work. We have a mission to complete, and I am not about to let any tension between you and I get in the way of that. Are you? Supergirl: Of course not. I... I just hope, um... when we solve this, we can work to rebuild our trust. Lena: Why is it so important to you that we're friends? I have friends, Supergirl. Friends that don't scheme behind my back or lie. Given my family history, they know how painful that would be. They also know I would never enter into a friendship with someone who's already breached that trust.

Supergirl

Understood.

The Fanatical [3.19]

Lena: Everyone knows that Guardian's a hero. James: But not everyone knows that Guardian is black. You know how old I was the first time cops put cuffs on me? Seven. I was seven years old. My family and I were taking a vacation. We were staying at this nice hotel, and my cousins and I decided to go out in the grounds and play hide-and-go-seek. One minute I'm trying my damndest not to be found, and in the next I'm shielding my eyes from police lights. And these four huge cops, they came and they pulled us out of our hiding places, and the whole time we're saying "Wait, what are you doing? We're staying here," but none of them believed that we were supposed to be there, none of them believed that we belonged. So my oldest cousin must've been about eleven, and I was the smallest, but they slapped cuffs on all of us anyway, and my arms were so little they had to put them around my forearms. Then they marched us into the hotel lobby like a bunch of criminals, and my mom was there, and then they believed us. She kept yelling "Get those cuffs off my boys!" Those cuffs. [sighs] Lena: James, that's horrible. James: [nodding] Racism is the oldest form of bullying. Lena: I'm so sorry that happened to you.

James

But when I became Guardian, I put that mask on and it was strangely liberating. It was the first time, in my life, that I had the opportunity to be judged on my action and my heart, not how I look.

M'yrnn: We do not have cork trees on Mars. Ruby: Mars? Wait, you're from Mars? M'yrnn: Of course. Ruby: Really? Wait, what's it like there? M'yrnn: It was, once, a place of great nobility. People lived simply, yet with joy. I long for that place. Ruby: What happened? M'yrnn: War. My family was killed. A very long time ago. Ruby: How did you recover? I mean, after that happened. M'yrnn: Faith. I believed, if my heart remained pure, H'ronmeer would provide for me. It was difficult, but I was strong. Like you. Ruby: H'ronmeer's, like, the God on Mars? [M'yrnn chuckles] Did he come through?

M'yrnn

He brought me back my son.

Mon-El: You okay? Kara: Yeah. Just thinking how ironic this is. Donning disguises across the solar system seems to be my karma. Mon-El: It's necessary for survival. Kara: So is Danvers. Just wish my day-to-day life didn't have to have a disguise. It's exhausting. Mon-El: In the future, I just live in the open. All Legionnaires do. There's no secret identities, no disguises. 24/7, I'm just... me, from the Legion of Super-Heroes. And it's still exhausting.

Kara

What we do, the responsibilities we have, there's always a trade-off, isn't there?

James: I mean, well, there's still a chance that Supergirl can come back in time. Lena: And if she doesn't?.... James, I don't know what to do. James: What would Sam want you to do? Lena: Sam wanted me to heal her. James: No, not what Sam wanted you to do. What would Sam want you to do now, with the choice that you're presented with? Lena: .... She'd choose Ruby. Over anything. Even her own life. She'd want me to protect her daughter.

James

It's a difficult choice. But it sounds like you have the answer.

Winn: I'm a - I'm a jerk. Ruby: Yeah. Winn: I know what you're going through. I actually do. I had a very... complicated relationship with my dad. He actually tried to, um... to kill me, too, believe it or not. But you know, for the longest time... Dude, I was terrified that whatever made him what he was, like, that was inside of me, too. You know, that... evil. Ruby: I know what you mean. But you're not evil.

Winn

No. No, I'm not. Just a jerk.

Selena: Argo was spared the fate of the rest of Krypton. But what value is our civilization if we don't use our stolen time to right the sins of the past? We must set an example for future generations, or else our survival means nothing. [hands Kara a fragment of the Urrica rock] Kara: Thank you Selena: May Rao's light shine upon you. Mon-El: It was a pleasure meeting you. I'm very fond of your daughter, as are many others on Earth and across time. You should be very proud of what she's become.

Alura Zor-El

I am. [to Kara] It's amazing that something so small and unremarkable can hold the key to so much survival.

Alex: You know, when you first approached me about working at the D.E.O., I was failing med school, I was drunk, and I was completely lost. But you, J'onn, you gave me purpose. You know, something to stand up for, something to devote my life for. But today, I risked my life for it. You know, I jumped straight across without hesitating, without even thinking. And to be honest, I mean that wasn't even the tallest building I've jumped off of in the line of duty. J'onn: You are someone who makes the hard choices, Alex. You go the extra mile. Alex: Yeah. Exactly. And that's who I am. It's just... baked into me. You know, jumping buildings, making enemies, that's all part of the job. But the irony here is, is that the thing I had to do to save myself is the very same thing that could've killed me. I mean, one more inch... and I would've died. And then, where would she be? [nods towards Ruby] I broke up with Maggie because I wanted to be a mother. And one day, I will be. You know, whether I'm with somebody or if I'm doing it by myself. I know that's what I want. And I know that that is who I am. Just like I know that I'm the person that's gonna jump the buildings to stop the bad guy. And I... I keep wondering, I mean, can those two people co-exist? And is that fair? Is it fair to the person that I'm coming home to?

J'onn

You may be the person who jumps the building to stop the bad guy, but you're also one of the most intelligent and intuitive women I know. You are an incredible agent and I know you're going to be an incredible mother. So when the time is right, I know you'll make the choice that's right for you.

Kara: I'm really gonna miss you guys. This world was so foreign and terrifying, but over the years I've learned to feel safe here. It's been an honor protecting this planet and being protected by it. And I owe all of that to you. J'onn: Hear, hear.

Kara

[voice-over during montages of Supergirl's and Danvers' farewell parties] You are my friends who understand me and make me laugh. You are my role models, who have built me into a leader and shown me what it means to find fulfillment in the work we do. This world has given me a family. In taking this chance to revisit my home, my first home, I'm bringing you all with me in my heart. And I'm at peace knowing you'll be holding down the fort here until I'm back. And this is not "Goodbye". It's "See you on the flip side." Or as we say on Krypton: "Kaoshuh" "To be continued."

Lena: People don't like the government keeping track of the guns they own. James: I never really understood that argument. That someone's right to own an assault weapon is more important than someone's right to go to school safely. Lena: I have a gun for self-defense. I have used it for self-defense. James: [in disbelief] You're not telling me you're one of those people that thinks that having a gun makes everybody safer, right? Lena: We disagree. But I can see your side, and hopefully you can see my side, too. James: I'm open to listening.

Lena

Good, 'cause things get done when we listen to each other.

M'yrnn: I came because I wished to see you again, Alex. To say goodbye. J'onn: [restrained] It's, uh... It's time. M'yrnn: You have brought me much joy in my time on your Earth, Alex. You and your friends have shown me strange and wonderful things. You know, you have a rare gift for intuiting the feelings of others. You would have made an excellent Green Martian. [Both J'onn and Alex become emotional.] Most of all, you have given me the great gift of witnessing your love for my son. Home is not a place. It is living among those who love and honor you. I can depart this world with peace, because I know my son is home.

[choking up] It has been a great honor getting to spend time with you, M'yrnn. And now I know where J'onn... gets his dignity... and his enormous heart. [hugs M'yrnn]

Deimos: [stands up] Finally. Winn: Seriously? You're not even, really, gonna like ask? [Deimos punches Winn, only for his fist to be stopped by the force field. Winn does a little victory spin.]

You know, that wasn't as satisfactory as I'd imagined. And I've imagined it.

M'yrnn: How does it feel, my son, to now know all of the five hundred million moves on the Ok'ra'tohk board? J'onn: Enlightened, Father. M'yrnn: Just don't share them with your imaginary friend Zook. [M'yrnn and J'onn recall memories from "Schott Though The Heart", "In Search of Lost Time" and "Wake Up".] M'yrnn: These are happy memories. They should make you happy. J'onn: And they do, Father. But they also remind me how much I'm going to miss you. Every memory that passes between us brings us closer to that eventuality.

By the end of this, you will not feel loss, J'onn. You will feel complete, I promise.

Yeah, well, that just strengthens my point, because the Greek gods have nothing on you.

Alex: Yeah. Kara: What about you, Director Danvers? You're so brave. Alex: Yeah. Look at you, okay? I mean, leaving your mom after you just found her. Coming back to Earth, I mean, that takes courage. Kara: Hm. I just realized that everything that makes me me is here. This is my home. With you. On this couch, with this insanely huge pizza that we just downed. Alex: There's no pizza on Argo, huh? Kara: Nope. Alex: That's a shame. [Kara laughs] You have no idea how happy I am that you came back.... Are we gonna be okay?

Otherwise you wouldn't've spent the last three months acting like a grain of sand in my boot. Brainy: Oh, I guess that does sound annoying. Alex: Yes. Every time I tell you to do something, you either do too little or too much. Brainy: Yes, but I felt... Alex: This isn't the Legion. Okay, you don't get to just go rogue whenever you feel like it. So from now on, you don't leave this building, you don't breathe, unless I tell you to. Is that understood? Brainy: Affirmative. Alex: Good. [leaves]

Nia Nal: You wanted to see me? Kara: Yeah, I was just checking in. I know James asked the new reporters to pitch him a list of story ideas. Did you pick an article? Nia: Yes. Uh, the feature on National City's new fashion district. Kara: Really? Nia: You don't think it's a good idea? Kara: It's fine. It's just I read on your resume that you have a degree in international relations from Georgetown. Are you sure you don't want to do something with a little more heft? Nia: There's nothing slight about fashion, Kara. It's one of the most visceral forms of art. What we choose to wear tells a story about who we are. Whether you wear black and leather or pastels and silk, you're creating an inner version of yourself whether you realize it or not. Kara: Never really thought about clothes that way. Nia: Well, what makes this story so exciting is that the fashion district's setting up shop in the middle of East City. New legislation is allowing designers to live and work in industrial spaces that have been abandoned for decades. An area that's been a hotbed for crime is going to be infused with color and life. I just think of all the kids growing up in that neighborhood, all the new job opportunities that'll be created. The fashion district article I wanna write about isn't about clothes. It's about community and growth. And hope.

Kara

You need to pitch the article exactly like that to James. He's gonna love it.

American Alien [4.1]

J'onn: I've been trying to tell you, the climate towards aliens is changing. Supergirl: Yeah. Yes, I agree it is, but for the better. And yes, there will always be extremists like whoever attacked the bar, but overall, I think this country has made incredible progress. The president is about to celebrate the second anniversary of the Alien Amnesty Act, and for the first time on Earth, aliens are embraced as citizens with equal rights... J'onn: Which is part of the backlash. The assimilation with aliens has sparked fear among many humans. And aliens are feeling the brunt of that anger. Supergirl: I'm an alien, and I've been all over the world recently, and I've never felt more love. J'onn: Part of the reason why you're embraced as a hero is because you present as human. Most aliens do not share that privilege. I'm afraid your experiences are not the best barometer here. Supergirl: I'm embraced as a hero because I'm good at my job. And I really don't appreciate you questioning my judgment. J'onn: I'm just trying to offer you a different perspective.

Supergirl

J'onn, you left the D.E.O. So maybe now it's time you leave protecting the city to me.

Supergirl (TV series)

American Alien [4.1]

Kara: You were right, about the crimes. They were motivated by hate. And there's a web of people... J'onn: Now that you know what's happening, you can fight it, Kara. Kara: But I need your help. They're going to attack the alien summit. Help me keep it safe, and then help me take on the rest of this movement, because it is bigger than anything I have ever fought. The people involved in it are like the people I save every day. A villain, I know how to stop, but these people... J'onn: I'm sorry, but I cannot fight with you. Not this time. Kara: But... but you have to. You were the first person to see this. You... who yelled at me to open my eyes, so how can you not join me now?

J'onn

Because it's no longer my path to fight. When my father passed, he gave me a message: live as H'ronmeer taught and promote peace. I cannot do that whilst wielding a sword. I will help those in need, and I will be a voice for change like Dr. Vose. I will support you, Kara, but I cannot join your battle. I'm sorry.

Marsdin: I'm sorry, Supergirl, but I can't, I won't cancel the summit. Supergirl: The Graves siblings are dangerous operatives. I'm afraid of what they could do to you and your alien guests.

Marsdin

So am I, but there's always someone to be afraid of. Some force, some threat, that is beyond our control. And yet, we carry on. A leader who caves to fear is no leader at all.

Supergirl (TV series)

Fallout [4.2]

Supergirl: Are you sure resigning is necessary? There must be another way. Marsdin: My presidency is in violation of Article II of the Constitution. If I stay and fight impeachment, it will only cause more chaos and turmoil. Supergirl: You've done so much good. People need to remember that. Every step of your presidency promoted compassion, and equal rights for all. Marsdin: To be honest, there is a part of me that is relieved. Hiding who I am, it's taken its toll. Supergirl: I can understand that. Mercy Graves exposed you because she wanted to fan the flames of fear and hatred. And I will stop her. I promise you that. And once she's exposed, people will realize they never had to fear you. Marsdin: Fear can create monsters where none existed before. Remind the world that there is still goodness here. Be that beacon of hope that we still need.

Supergirl

I won't let you down, Madam President.

Kara: I had no idea your brother's history with Mercy went back this far. Lena: Yeah. Mercy started out as his head of security, but over time she became his closest confidant and frequent dinner guest. Kara: I knew Lex had a close relationship with her, but I-I had no idea you did. Lena: Growing up, my mother was very critical of me, as you know. She wasn't very helpful with the life stuff. Then Mercy came into our lives and she kind of took me under her wing. She taught me how to act, how to dress, how to always reach for the biggest gun. She was almost like a big sister. Almost. Kara: Was it hard for you after she left Lex? Lena: Yeah. I felt abandoned. But I really can't blame her. Truthfully, I blame Lex entirely. Kara: What happened between them? Lena: Mercy grew frustrated because Lex was so hyper-focused on Superman. He lost sight of the bigger picture. She felt intelligence wasn't enough, that humans needed to develop even greater powers and abilities than aliens. Kara: That sounds unhinged.

Lena

Yeah. But I don't disagree with her main point. [seeing Kara's look of surprise] Well, why can't humans be as powerful as aliens?

Fallout [4.2]

Nia: I just witnessed a business owner refuse to serve an alien, and then assault him. James: Yeah. We're getting a lot of calls like that lately. And it... it's good for us to follow up on these types of stories, so that people know how these businesses are treating aliens. Nia: Absolutely, but... it's bigger than that. Mr. Olsen, I really think we need a statement from our Editor-in-Chief. Aliens are being subjected to hate crimes like never before. James: It is horrible, which is why we are reporting on this kind of stuff. We are. But... I have to think strategically. And this is not the best time for me to write an editorial. Nia: I know you've been under a lot of scrutiny since unmasking as Guardian. You have another chance to fight for justice, now. James: Okay, please. What's on your mind? Nia: You may not know this about me, but I am a transgender woman. I know what it's like to be... attacked and denied because of who I am. When I saw that alien being attacked, I couldn't let it pass. I... I had to stand up, hold a mirror to that bully's face. And I made a difference. And that was just one person. You are the Editor-in-Chief of CatCo Worldwide Media. You can hold a mirror up to the entire city. We have to show people that violence against aliens is not okay, and that the only way we are going to survive is if we start truly seeing each other. James: Thank you, for sharing your truth, and your passion. But there's something else that I want you to understand, too, is that our readers that share our values already know that we support aliens. Nia: Well, what about the others? James: We're trying. We're... we're reaching over the aisle. If I editorialize too soon, they're just gonna call us biased. They're gonna prejudge us. Look, I've been doing this a long time, and the only way to reach people is through balanced reporting.

Nia

When innocent people are being attacked, it's not about balance. It's about justice.

Mercy Graves: Do you remember when you were afraid to show Lex your little inventions? That you would hide them from him until they were absolutely perfect. Do you remember what he would do? Lena: Yeah. He'd say they were cute and I should make them in pink. Mercy: This is exactly what he was afraid of. That you would outshine him. I know that you wanna resist, but you are just like me. You don't just wanna be the best, you are the best. Lena: Oh, I know I'm the best. You're the one not living up to your full potential. You've chosen a side. I'd never do that. Mercy: All you care about is lining your pockets. Kara: Yeah, also she's not a murderer, so...

Mercy

Maybe that's just because she hasn't tried it yet.

Peter Lockwood: We lost the Luthor Corporation contract last week. Ben Lockwood: What? Peter: I had to shutter two blast furnaces. Takin' on statue commissions just to make ends meet. Lockwood: What if you retrofitted the factory to process Nth metal? You could re-train your employees. Peter: This town was built on steel. American steel. You rip out that foundation, and everything will crumble around it. You mark my words. Lockwood: People thought textiles would be the end of modern society, but the Industrial Revolution, it created unprecedented opportunities... Peter: I'm not one of your students, Ben. And I'll remind you, it was called a revolution for a reason. And I'll also remind you that steel is what paid for that fancy college education of yours that you only wanna use when you wanna condescend to your old man. Lockwood: Worth every penny. Right, dad?

Peter

Not so much.

Supergirl (TV series)

Man of Steel [4.3]

Lockwood: Nativist. A term often used in a derogatory fashion to describe those who fear the other. Question for you. What's wrong with those who wish to protect their homes from the outsiders? Alien Student: Well, America is a country of immigrants. Lockwood: Yes, but that's always been controversial. You see, in 1775, Benjamin Franklin himself writes of his own fears of immigrants, whom he warned "The immigrant will never adopt our language or customs any more than he can acquire our complexion." Alien Student: Franklin was talking about German immigrants back when America was still a British colony. I don't see how it applies to anything. Lockwood: Oh, I can see why this, uh, point of view would be problematic, especially since we are talking about human immigrants; human immigrants who, in the past 200 years, made America great no matter what their complexion. But now, we welcome immigrants not only from outside our borders, but from beyond our atmosphere, so let me just ask you, how does the human worker compete? Anyone? How does the human worker compete against an alien who could lift two tons of steel over its head without even breaking a sweat? How does the human worker compete against an alien that can fly goods from one coast to the other, leaving our trucks to rust away in the sand? Another Student: [confused] Sorry, professor, what page are we on? Lockwood: Ben Franklin's fears have come to pass. The modern immigrant cannot assimilate, and it's not a question of desire, it's not a question of culture. It is a question of biology, and from that context... [an alien student, insulted, stands and leaves] From that context, I should be proud if you were to call me a nativist. Alien Student: This... isn't nativism. It's xenophobia.

Lockwood

Well, I can't say I'm surprised to hear that from someone with your complexion.

Mercy: People love you, Ben. You have a rare gift of communication, like Franklin Roosevelt or Mussolini. The people I work with, they don't have such gifts. But I think if we could all work together, we could make this country a much better place. Lockwood: How? Mercy: We're gonna expose the president as a liar, a fraud, and an alien. Lockwood: Read a little 4chan, do ya? Mercy: I can understand why you wouldn't believe me. But can you imagine if we proved it was true? How that would change the world? Lockwood: Well, that's a nice dream, but, um, I don't even know who you are. Mercy: Graves. And that's my brother, Otis. Otis Graves: [rolling down the limo's driver partition] What's up?

Mercy

[offering Ben a folder] And most importantly, this is Fiona. Part-time bartender, full-time alien rights activist. Don't be fooled by the lipstick. Beneath the disguise, she's a monster. One who is organizing other monsters to defend themselves against us. But that's okay. Because some of these creatures have skills we can use. So what do you say? Besties?

So, tell me, J'onn J'onzz, how do you know Fiona? J'onn: You're her fiance. Manchester: That I am. Luckiest man in the world. Only Fiona dropped off the radar. Not like her. And you seem to have spent some time following her about. J'onn: Fiona is just a friend. Manchester: Well, friend, I'll ask you once more. Where is she? J'onn: [his eyes glowing red as Black grabs him] Today is not the day to push me.

Not from around here, are we? Relax, man. Weren't going to hurt you.

Ahimsa [4.4]

Lockwood: I seem to recall you telling me that Supergirl was dead. Otis: We never said it was official. Mercy: We'll make her dead. The plan still stands. Lockwood: Well, your plan is small. Mercy: Excuse me? Lockwood: You want to show people that aliens are monsters. That's good, but you don't do that by attacking their protectors, the police, the DEO. Yeah, that will make them afraid. That'll make them feel fear, up here, in their mind. What you need to do is make them feel it in their bones. Mercy: And how do you plan on doing that, exactly?

Lockwood

You show them that they need to be afraid for their children.

Ahimsa [4.4]

J'onn: That word, ahimsa, it's Hindu? Manchester: It means non-violence. Just something Fi used to say. J'onn: Tell me about her. Manchester: When I met Fi, I was... well, I guess you'd call it "ganged up". J'onn: Mm. Manchester: It was football hooligans. Sorry, soccer hooligans. Any excuse to break a window. We worked for me dad. He taught me how to win a fight. It's easy, once you know the trick. [points to his temple, indicating his brain] There's a switch in here. Keeps you from hurting another person. You can turn it on... [snaps his fingers] ...and off. J'onn: So, why did you stop?

Manchester

I met Fi. She kept the books for the gang. Didn't hurt no one. No one but me, because one look from her, and I was dead, man, gone, hers. And she showed me... showed me other ways. Non-violent ways. Ahimsa. Then the boys found out she was an alien. Mm. Wasn't safe there anymore. So I told her... I told her to go to the States so she'd be safe.

Ahimsa [4.4]

Nia: I just wanted to mention how thankful I am. 'Cause, uh, I've been reading about Ms. Grant, and CatCo, and you. You know what we do up here is important, right? I... I've also been reading about matters of the law. Did you know someone could be prosecuted for continued instances of the same crime? James: Yeah. I have a lawyer. Nia: Of course. I'm not even saying you're thinking of taking up the shield again. But, if you were, especially with Supergirl down, don't. James: Is this the same Nia Nal I'm talking to, the cub reporter who convincingly and rightfully convinced her boss to act? And to speak out when the innocent are being attacked? Nia: I know. I don't sound like myself. But that's because this is different. If you go out there again, I have a feeling something bad will happen.

James

Heroes go out there, even when they know something bad's gonna happen. That's what makes them heroes.

Alex: Well, CatCo's newest addition. It's very nice to finally meet you. J'onn: We've heard a lot about you. Nia: All good things, I hope. Lena: Well, James said your passion for making the world a better place is matched only by the elegance of your prose, so...

Nia

I wish I could say I paid him, but I could not have made that up.

Colonel Lauren Haley: I've noticed you reorganized the strike team command and control system. Alex: I did. Haley: Are you aware that system has been in place since the DEO's inception? Alex: Yes. But with all due respect, the system was outmoded. It used to take us 90 seconds to get out the door after first alert. And now by re-tasking two analysts... Haley: You cut out the middle men and reduced deployment time to 60 seconds, which could be the difference between life and death. Alex: Exactly. So...

Haley

I'm commending you, Director Danvers.

Kara: You've declined interviews for decades, but you've graciously agreed to speak with me today. Why now? Amadei Derros: I see what is happening to our country. Divisiveness and discrimination. If we want to fight prejudice, people need to know about who we are as aliens and what we do. To lead as an example for others, I must be seen. It's not comfortable to me. But comfort is not my priority right now. Kara: Well, I'm sure your example will inspire many. You've saved countless lives with your gift. Is it true your healing abilities don't work on humans?

Amadei

As of yet, my frequency cannot reach humans. But it is my greatest wish to heal the human heart.

Lockwood: You know, I was just talking about you on my show recently. James: So I heard. And just to be clear, you and I do not represent the same things. Lockwood: Hmm. Far be it for James Olsen to listen to an opinion that is not his own. James: I listen to opinions that are not my own. But what I heard in your show was full of discrimination and hate, and that's when I stopped listening. Lockwood: I see. So this is the part where you and others like you start making crass generalizations based on ignorance and stereotype.

James

And you forgot the part where people like me walk away.

Haley: You did good work today. But the next time I give you orders, I expect for you to follow them. Alex: Yes, ma'am. Haley: Still, I have to say, it's much better to have you in charge than that imposter, J'onn J'onzz. Alex: Excuse me? Haley: When we at the White House learned about your former director's true identity, I recommended his removal. He was trying to erode the DEO's mission. Employing aliens instead of catching them, all the while pretending to be someone he's not. I am glad order's been restored, and we're heading towards more civil, honest times. Alex: J'onn J'onzz is the one who recruited me, promoted me, and taught me everything that I know. He's my family. And he is the best director this organization has ever seen. Haley: J'onzz set a bad precedent. But we will set things right. From now on, we are strictly by-the-book, which means are going to act according to rank, and let's be clear about yours. Now, you might run this place, but I am your superior officer. You report to me. Understood? Alex: Understood. [turns to leave] Haley: Director Danvers, when you exit, you salute your ranking officer. Alex: [saluting] Yes, ma'am.

Haley

[returning the salute] We'll work on that. I still believe there's hope for you yet.

James: So when do I get to meet Agent Liberty? Tom: You're talking to him. James: You're Agent Liberty? Tom: We're all agents of liberty. James: Nah, I mean the big guy, the guy who signed the leaflet. I was hoping to get to interview him. Tom: Well, that's above my pay grade. I was just asked to show you what we do, answer some questions. James: And this is what you do? Tom: Patrol the streets, keep them safe for humans, just like you do with Guardian. I mean, this week is special. We don't want any roaches crashing people's Thanksgiving dinners. James: Roaches? That's pretty heavy language, and I would really appreciate it if you didn't call aliens roaches in my presence. Tom: That's what they are.

James

Or you just classify them that way so you don't have to deal with the fact that they're living and breathing beings, just like you and I.

Call to Action [4.6]

Kara: Most aliens want to live peacefully, just like humans do. Lockwood: Okay, and where's the proof in that? Because there have been numerous alien attacks, human lives have been lost. Kara: But there are also aliens making extraordinary contributions. Everyone that I interviewed for my "Aliens in National City" series was exceptional. Lockwood: Okay, but for a second let's just talk about human exceptionalism. For example, your own editor-in-chief, James Olsen, he was supposed to be here tonight, was he not? Kara: Yes, yes. Lockwood: Okay, so Guardian. If the Children of Liberty are such a problem, why hasn't Guardian renounced them? In fact, rumor is he's meeting with them right now, which seems to indicate that James Olsen understands that these people have something of value to say.

Kara

There is a very clear difference between having something to say and the hate speech in these leaflets. This manifesto will only incite violence and fear, and as Americans we are better than that. On Thanksgiving, tomorrow is Thanksgiving, it is a day for family, for community. It is about welcoming different cultures and celebrating a gratitude for life together. That is what liberty is about.

James: I happened to meet with a regular guy, named Tom, who happens to be afraid of aliens and afraid of their capabilities and he feels inferior. Kara: People can be powerful too. You and Alex are examples of that, James. Lena: Yeah, but not as powerful as aliens. I mean, no matter how many weights you lift, you'll never be as strong as Supergirl. Alex: No, but with technology, we can hold our own. Lena: But what if we could do more? What if we could make people super? Eliza: It's not possible. The biological processes that cause alien powers are incompatible with human DNA. Lena: Okay, but just say we could, right? If James is right and people feeling inferior is what makes them join these hate groups, then we could just level the playing field. J'onn: The last thing we need is a bunch of evil people running around with superpowers. Lena: Okay, but evil people wouldn't get powers. James: So, only certain people qualify?

Alex

And who would decide who gets them? They'd be playing God.

Lena: And if they don't listen? James: Then I will find a way to make them listen. Lena: That's not a plan. James: I don't have time to talk about this right now. Lena: They don't have time to talk either. They're out there looking for a fight! James: I appreciate the fact that you're trying to help me, I do. But I don't need it. I'm gonna be fine. Lena: Right, because you can handle it? James: Yes, I can handle myself! I don't need you freaking out about every little problem that I have in my life! Take the DA for example. You got all worked up about that, and it turned out to be fine! Okay? I'm going. Lena: It was fine because I made it fine! James: What are you talking about. Lena: I talked to the DA, James. I traded information about Bruno Manheim and she dropped the indictment. James: You did what? Lena: You heard me. James: You lied to me. Lena: I would do it again in a heartbeat. I love you, and there's no line in the universe I would not cross to keep you safe.

James

If that's what you think love is, I'm not sure if I want any part of that.

Well, that's what I get for making a Harry Potter reference.
