Top 1000 Quotes From Alex Danvers

Alex: Supergirl, are you there?
Kara: Oh. Sorry, hang on.
["answering" her phone]
Kara: Alex, hi. Hi. It's, uh... yeah, it's Kara. I'm here with Lena and Eve.
Alex: So you haven't been able to get away.
Kara: Uh, yep. Yeah, that's right. Supergirl has not arrived on the scene. Is the DEO coming?
Alex: I can have a team to you in four minutes.
Querl: Three minutes, twenty-six seconds.

Alex: Hey, are you okay?
Lena: [still groggy] I think so.
Alex: Look at me.
Lena: [weakly] Alex. Alex, I've got to tell you about Lex.
Alex: He escaped from prison, he attacked you, and he stole your research, we know.
Lena: No, that's not the whole story. It's...
Alex: Hey, uh-uh, don't move. And yes, we now that Eve was his spy.
Lena: Yes, but I gotta tell you...
Alex: You've been through trauma. So, please, just try to relax.
Lena: I'm sorry.
Alex: You have nothing to apologize for. Supergirl is searching for Lex. She will find him.

Alex: My grandmother was a music lover, as well. Especially later in her life. It just seemed to always give her that extra spark. Even when she started forgetting things. Like, little things at first. It was just words, you know, why she'd walk into a room, and eventually, people. I think you might be exhibiting similar symptoms.
M'yrnn: Please don't tell him.
Alex: You already knew?
M'yrnn: On Mars, we called it Za-alet. Translated roughyl, it means "decay of memory."
Alex: Dementia.
M'yrnn: I am losing myself.
Alex: As it progresses, you're gonna need help.
M'yrnn: He has helped me enough.
Alex: No, you're gonna need more than that. Because you could hurt yourself or others. You have to tell him.
M'yrnn: He just got me back; I can't ask him to watch me disappear inch by inch. It's too cruel.
Alex: Well, that could happen no matter what. So the sooner you tell him, the sooner he can get help. I'm sorry, Myr'nn, but if he asks me, I mean, I don't... I don't think I could lie to him.
M'yrnn: You will say nothing! He is my son. And I choose how best to protect him, not you.

Supergirl: What's happening?
Lena: The suit's taking too much damage, so power's being diverted to life support.
Alex: I'll give you a jump. You're gonna wanna hold still.
Supergirl: [Alex shoots the suit, which increases its power] Thanks for the charge.

Alex: I told you not to leave the premises.
Supergirl: I saved someone's life.
Alex: By jeopardizing your own.
Supergirl: I'm a hero, Alex. I take risks.
Alex: You are also an employee of the DEO.
Supergirl: We've been working together for years. Why are you all of a sudden acting like this?
Alex: Because I am the director now! Okay? So if someone gets hurt, that's on me. And if someone escapes and fills the air with kryptonite, that's on me! And if you had died...
Supergirl: But I didn't die. A-A-And if it were you, you would've done the exact same thing. I'm not gonna stop using my own judgment.
Alex: We have rules for a reason. Otherwise, this place would fall apart. So if you want to continue working with me, then you will obey orders. And as your commanding officer, this is your final warning.

Alex: There's a big disturbance downtown.
Kara: Well, time to get back to the salt mine.
[seeing everyone look at her as she calmy unbuttons her shirt]
Kara: What? I like this shirt.

J'onn: I want you to run this place. Be the director. With you in charge, I feel the DEO will stay on the right path to protecting this planet, and helping those who cannot help themselves. And being in charge, you won't have to put yourself in the field all day, risking your life. You don't have to deny any part of yourself to be complete. You can have a family. And you can be a mother. All on your own terms.
[standing up, then helping her to her feet]
J'onn: Congratulations, Director.
Alex: That's not how I saw this going.

Alex: Where did you grow up, Nia?
Nia: A small town up north called Parthas.
Lena: Doesn't that mean "paradise" in Irish? It's a pretty high bar.
Nia: Paradise is an understatement. The town's not just beautiful, but aliens and humans have lived together in harmony for decades.

J'onn: Hey, nice to see you both up. You had us a little worried there.
Alex: Wait a minute. Where's Winn?
J'onn: Against my better judgment, he's back at work.
Alex: Oh, what a suck-up.

Alex: [seeing Ruby and Sam reunited] Well, you did it.
Supergirl: I have to tell you something.

Supergirl: Rhea was about to kill me and Mon-El sacrificed everything to save my life. Now we have to save his.
J'onn: I can't let you do that.
Supergirl: No, I'm... I'm okay.
J'onn: It's not that. We're under strict orders not to engage. I'm sorry.
Supergirl: This is Mon-El's life. Please.
J'onn: I cannot disobey the President of the United States. I know it's easy to let emotions get involved, but there's a protocol. I am not the one calling the shots right now.
Alex: I know how much you care for Mon-El, but this is too dangerous.
Supergirl: I have to save him. I know you understand. Once that ship leaves, he's gone forever.
J'onn: He's made his choice. He's with his people, Kara.
Supergirl: Mon-El did not choose this. This is not like M'gann, and if we wait for president's orders, Mon-El and his parents could be light years away. We have to go now! I'm the one that convinced him to do this. To try and reason with his mother. He's up there because of me. Please. J'onn, I can't lose him.

Kara: It's been two and a half years since I went on a date. What if I... forgot how to do it?
Alex: You smile, and you laugh, and you reach for the check.
Kara: You make it sound so easy.
Alex: Well...
Kara: By the way, you should have seen Nia today. She was on fire.
Alex: Yeah, I did. I mean, she was all over YouTube and the news, and every other platform I've never heard of.
Kara: I'm just so proud of her. And you know what? It just feels so good to know that if I want to take a night off, there's someone there that can save the day.

Alex: Okay, Al, I know that you said this place was booked, but...
[she trails off upon seeing the bar decorated]
Kelly: Surprise!
Alex: Wait, you-you're the one who booked it? How did you even do this?
Kelly: Uh, I had some help. William was in on it.
Esme: You two had the same plan. It's fate!
Kelly: Alex, I wanted to surprise you tonight because... it's the anniversary of the first time I realized I loved you. I love everything about you. Your passion. And your compassion. The way that you fight for people that you love. But you never let it harden you. The way that you make space for me to be the truest version of myself. You are more than my love. You are my perfect match. And when I'm with you, my soul feels... complete.
[taking out a ring-sized box]
Kelly: Alex Danvers, will you...
Alex: Okay, no, no, no. No, wait, wait, wait. Wait. Wait. Look, I-I wanted to be the first to do this.
[taking a pink rose out of her pocket]
Alex: Oh, crap.
Kelly: Wh-What is that?
Alex: That's the Love totem.
Esme: [a portal opens, and Lex and Nxyly appear] Supergirl!
Supergirl: [landing in front of them with J'onn] Get her out of here.

Brainiac: Once I induce transmission, your minds will be immediately beamed into this dark valley.
Alex: Is it gonna hurt?
Brainiac: The chances are better than 50%.
Alex: [sarcastic] That's comforting.
Brainiac: Really? I didn't think so. Would you like me to count to three?
Lena: Will it help?
Brainiac: No, not at all.

Alex: I was so sure it was the sheriff.
J'onn: We'll figure this out.
Alex: The list of people that want me dead is endless.
J'onn: All the more reason to cull it.
Alex: No, J'onn, look, you don't understand. If Sam is gone, I am all that Ruby has left. And if I'm gone... look, screw the list. If this guy wants me, he can come and get me. It's our turn to hunt.
J'onn: You wanna set a trap.
Alex: Like I said, I'm already a target, right? So let's draw this guy out and take him down.

Kelly: Hey, guys, you weren't answering. Is there something wrong with the unit?
[seeing the color of their eyes]
Kelly: Lena? Dreamer?
Lena: So glad you could join us.
Kelly: Oh, no. Alex, the Phantom is trying to breach the containment unit. And it's possessed Lena and Nia. Alex!
[they begin to advance on her]
Kelly: Come on. Lena, Nia. Snap out of it! Remember what's real. Let me help you.
[another flashlight spins around on the ground]
Kelly: Alex?
[seeing she's possessed, too]
Kelly: Alex.
Lena: It's pointless, Kelly. Why bother trying? The Phantom will take us all.
Kelly: [into her comms] J'onn, Brainy, the Phantom is trying to get loose. J'onn!
Lena: J'onn and Brainy are already gone. They couldn't fight it, and neither can you.
Kelly: No. No! Alex... please. If you are still in there, please hear me.
Lena: We hear you. We see you. Exactly as you are, Kelly Olsen. Weak. Human. We are heroes with unparalleled intellects, incredible strength. And yet we all succumbed. What chance do you stand?

Alex: It's a perimeter breach. Stay sharp. It could be Lex Luthor.
[Supergirl lands]
Colonel: Supergirl? What does she want?
Supergirl: I forgot how loud those were.
Colonel: Everyone, stand down.
Supergirl: I, uh... I come offering donuts and my help. Lex usually attacks within the first 48 hours of escaping. Now, I know we've had our differences, but I think we should team up to catch him.
Colonel: While I appreciate a good cinnamon cruller, Supergirl, the President has ordered to redirect manpower to Washington, D.C.
Alex: For security. In case of any unrest after the repeal vote.
Supergirl: So, who's looking for Lex?
Colonel: FBI, CIA, US Marshals. I believe SEAL Teams one through six. Everyone but us.

Lena's: Excuse me, Ms. Luthor, this came for you.
Lena: Thank you.
Alex: What is it?
Lena: It's an invitation to the White House. From Lex.
Kara: Lena, you can't possibly be thinking of going.
Lena: If I don't go, Lex'll come after the people I care about, and I can't have that happen. Besides, if I see Lex, I'll be able to get some stellar quotes for my best friend's article. Speaking of which, Kara, you better start typing.

Alex: His vitals are spiking.
Querl: Push through the memory.
[he returns to real time]
Querl: My connection's lost. I can't reach him. Kelly, I fear James' mind has merged with his younger self. You were there. You could tether him. Will you go in?
Kelly: No. No, no, no. I-I-I can't.
Querl: He needs guidance. He will recognize you as his young sister.
Alex: No, Brainy, it's too much to ask of her. Okay? There has to be another way.
Kelly: [reconsidering] I'll do it.

Kara: Okay, uh, before we do this, Mxy, I need your word that if thing go sideways, you'll put it all back to normal.
Mxyzptlk: I am court-ordered to do so.
["beeping" her nose]
Mxyzptlk: Boop. Now, no shade to the Super Friends, but it tends to work better when it's just me and the subject. So, do you two have any plans?
Alex: No, I don't think so.
J'onn: No. No, we were just gonna...
Kara: [Mxy snaps, and they vanish] What... where did they go?
Mxyzptlk: Oh... they're in their happy place.
Alex: [transition to them playing paintball] Magic rules!
J'onn: Game on, Danvers!

Winn: I am very excited to meet Alex's new mystery man.
James: Hey, do we know what he does for a living? Alex's guy?
Kara: Cop.
Winn: Yeah, no way Alex Danvers dates someone who doesn't own a firearm.
[Alex and Maggie arrive]
Alex: Hey. you guys. Hey, um, you all remember Maggie, right?
James: [after comprehending that Alex and Maggie are dating] Hey, yeah, good to see you again.
Winn: Alex! I... I didn't know.
[points at Hank]
Winn: Did you know?
J'onn: Of course I knew. I'm psychic.
Alex: How come you never said anything before?
J'onn: It's not for me to say. Good for you, Alex.

Querl: A mind palace is a hyper-real interactive space in James' mind. This device taps into James' temporal lobe, allowing me to map out his memories. Everything he experiences will be real and true. If James is able to identify and face his core trauma, he may be able to manage the attacks.
Alex: Do we know why the Harun-El is making the attacks worse?
Querl: Lena's drug was designed to attack illness. In this case, it was focused on the PTSD, heightening what would normally be just a panic attack. And since the drug also gives you superpowers, the attacks were causing the powers to be uncontrollable.
James: So you're saying even if I'm able to manage the symptoms, I'm still gonna have superpowers?
Querl: Yes. But you'll be able to control them. Now, shall we jump in?
James: Let's do this.

Alex: If you thought I was badass before, you just wait until you see what I just bought. It's parked right outside. You wanna go see it?
[Ruby shrugs half-heartedly]
Alex: Look, it's a 1962 Item. I have always wanted this bike. What do you say? You wanna take a ride around the block? I got you your own helmet.
Ruby: No, thanks.
Alex: Oh, um... yeah, that's okay. Uh... um, well, what's something that you've always wanted to do? I mean, didn't you tell me once that you wanted to dye the ends of your hair blue?
Ruby: No.
Alex: Um... well, what if we got you a pet? Why don't we get you a cat?
Ruby: My mom's allergic.
Alex: Uh... well, you wanna play Scrabble? Or we could just... we could just talk.
Ruby: No offense, but I just wanna be left alone right now.

Alex: When you went to speak with her, we used the hologram to piggyback a virus into the bunker's mainframe.
Supergirl: Alex, you used me?
Alex: In a few moments, Lena's defenses will be down and Myriad will be stalled. By then, if we have to take more drastic actions, Claymore 3 is positioned above Mount Norquay.
Supergirl: What?
Alex: And I will give her time to surrender. Kara, we have to start thinking with our heads, not with our hearts.

Winn: Any of these look familiar?
Supergirl: That one! That's the gun he was carrying.
Winn: Okay. That is an Anndrannian Photon Cannon.
J'onn: How'd these guys get their hands on alien technology?
Alex: Are you sure they weren't Anndrannian?
Supergirl: Well, they weren't purple with fins, so, yeah, I'm sure.
Winn: Oh, you are lucky this thing hit you before it was fully charged. There's no telling what this might've done to you.

Agent: Sir, we have a code gray. It's coming from the NCH. Looks like a multiple car collision. Highway Patrol officers and medical personnel are en route. No sign of alien activity. We're clear.
Hank: Run a thermal scan to be sure. And Ms. Danvers, next time you're thinking of talking to the press...
[turning around, he sees Supergirl is gone]
Alex: She's excited. It's her first pile-up.

Ron: I owed a debt for what I did. I paid my debt.
Alex: What you did was murder a teenage boy.
Ron: And I have to live with that! Forever.
Alex: Oh, I... you want me to feel sorry for you?
Ron: Why would you? I don't even feel sorry for me. Every time I close my eyes, I see that young boy's face. The future that I stole from him. I see the blood bursting out of his body. I can feel the weight of the gun in my hands. I wasn't a good person. I was corrupt. Then I never thought of myself as a killer. Kid killer. But it turns out, I was a monster. And I deserved everything I got. But I'm not trying to kill you, Danvers. What the hell difference would that make? It's not gonna bring Kenny back. It's not gonna save me. I'm already damned.

Alex: All right, let's try this again. Where does Mercy usually like to go after she's killed a few dozen Secret Service agents?
Otis: That Italian place on 6th Street.
Alex: This isn't a joke.
Otis: Neither are their breadsticks.
Alex: Okay, I get it. Out there, it's your sister that's the boss, right? But in here, I'm the boss, and I can make your life extremely miserable.
Otis: Oh, I know. I have heard stories about the DEO. Poisoned a boatload of Daxamites by lacing the atmosphere with lead? Kablooey!
[he cackles with laughter]
Otis: You're cruel as ice. I bet you even keep that lead dispersal device around as a trophy.
Alex: You know what? Mercy's too smart to tell a plan like that to you.
[as she turns her back, he rushes her, but she easily puts him on the ground]
Otis: [in a headlock] Ow. Ow. Why do you got to be so mean?
Alex: [letting him go] Jensen, take Einstein back up to his containment cell.
Otis: Oh, keep searching, boss. Those two are so far underground by now, they're probably in China.

Alex: This person was found lurking near Dunholtz, so... so maybe they were working together. You know? I mean, we've got a face. Can we get an ID, Brainy?
Querl: Yeah, I'll, um... I'll go to the DEO and start cleaning up the image to ID it, tracking it. I'll, uh, also put Winn's ship in the DEO hangar for safekeeping.
Alex: No, no, no. I do not want the Legion ship anywhere near Lex. You know what? I've got an idea. I'll just have to call an old friend.
Winn: Wait, Lex. As in Lex Luthor, the hero? Why would you not want the Legion ship near him?
Supergirl: Uh, Lex is not a hero.
Alex: We're just gonna have J'onn just bring you up to speed on exactly what happened.

Alex: Wait.
Kara: Did you use me to get Astra arrested?
Alura: Hello, Kara.
Kara: Don't say my name right now. Did you use me to draw Astra out of hiding?
Alura: Yes.
Kara: How could you do that?
Alura: Astra had broken the law. You were the only person she trusted enough to meet. It was necessary.
Kara: Could she have saved us?
Alura: She was a criminal
Kara: But was she right?
Alura: I am not programmed to give you that information.
Kara: Tell me!
Alura: I'm sorry, I am not programmed to give you that information

Kelly: Well?
Alex: Well, she's only dilated to four centimeters, so we still have a while to wait, you know. But, um, I mean, she's... her vitals are good, and there's no signs of distress, and everything is just progressing normally.
Kelly: Great.
[seeing her look]
Kelly: Why do you look like it's not great?
Alex: She doesn't wanna see me until after she has the baby.
Kelly: That's understandable.
Alex: Yeah, of course. Yeah, you're right.
Kelly: Of course I'm right. Now, try to relax.
[offering a candy bar]
Kelly: Eat some chocolate.

Alex: Do you really think it was a good idea for you to tell your friends who you are?
Kara: Yes, because they're my friends. I'm allowed to have friends, aren't I? Or is that also against DEO rules?
Alex: I didn't come here to fight. I came here to apologize, for how I handled things back at the DEO. Okay, maybe it wasn't the right way to go about it, but... you have got to understand I was only looking out for you.
Kara: And you always have looked out for me. Since the day my cousin dropped me off at your house.
Alex: You remember how scared you were of the popcorn maker?
Kara: [she laughs] Yeah. You crawled under the table next to me. Showed me the melted butter and sprinkled the tiny, white crystals. But I'm not a scared little girl anymore.
Alex: Yeah, but I will always be your big sister. And that doesn't just suddenly change because, what, last week you decided to fight criminals.
Kara: Well, last week I found out you don't work in a lab. You're out there fighting, risking your life, and I still trust you. I... I know I have a lot to learn. And James and Winn believe in me. But... I need your faith, Alex. More than that "S", more than that cape. More than anyone's.

Alex: Thank you for meeting me.
Kelly: Any time. So, what's up?
Alex: I wanted to get your advice on something, being a therapist. Uh... I'm sorry, I hope that's not weird that I asked.
Kelly: I can make a one-time exception for a friend.

Kara: What's wrong?
Samantha: I have to go on a trip, and Mrs. Queller just canceled.
Kara: Is that your babysitter?
Samantha: Yeah. Sorry, guys, carry on. I'm gonna just deal with this.
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: Yeah, um, okay, she was fifteen.
Kara: So?
Alex: So, you were the one who wanted to watch it!
Samantha: Are you sure it's okay?
Alex: Yes, absolutely. I'm going a little bit stir-crazy. So, yeah. And if she gets out of line, I will call for backup.

Supergirl: [finding the Kalanorian having a seizure in her cell] What's she saying?
Alex: I don't know, but it's definitely Martian.

Alex: That's pretty badass.
Kelly: Yeah. Wait, but check out the jogging strollers. Maybe you could take the baby on a run. Look at that.
Alex: Okay, that is definitely the way to go.

Querl: It's starting to drain. She's ready.
Alex: [banging on the tube] Kara, it's me.
Querl: She should be fine.
Kara: [in her mind, struggling with the door] It's not opening.
Querl: You should be fine.
Alex: [in real time] Why isn't she waking up?

Alex: I knew I recognized you from the elevator. I know who you are. The people that I work with, they will find me. And when they do, you will be in a world of hurt. So I am giving you one chance. Free me, now. When I get out of here, I will end you!

Kara: I've tried to hard to make Earth my home, Alex. And it has been, because of you. You've been so much more than a sister to me. When I first got here, I was alone, and scared, having just lost everything. And I would walk around and feel this dull, empty... pit, a hollowness. And, yeah, we got off to a rocky start, but once we got close, that hollowness just disappeared. That was you. You filled my heart. And no matter where I go, you will always be in it.
Alex: How long will you be gone?
Kara: I don't know.

Alex: You know, when you first approached me about working at the DEO, 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 to. 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 that I have 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 that I had to do to save myself is the very same thing that could have killed me. I mean, one more inch, and I would have died. And then...
[indicating Ruby inside with Winn]
Alex: ...where would she be? 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 building 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: Hey, come on.
[he takes her hand as a gesture of comfort]
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... I know. You're 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.

Hannibal the Alcorian: You'll never get me to talk. You humans are too moral to do what's necessary to penetrate my mind.
Alex: Winn, get me a wrench.

Kara: Did you finish the fried rice?
Alex: I'm sorry. I'm stress eating.
Kara: Did you have a bad date?
Alex: No, the dating, it's actually... it's been great.
Kara: Really?
Alex: No, don't get that look on your face like you're gonna officiate my wedding.

Alex: Hey, what's this?
Kara: Oh. Wedding invitation.
Alex: Barry Allen. As in... wait, "The Flash" Barry Allen?
Kara: The one and only.
Alex: When is it?
Kara: Oh, tomorrow. I guess.
Alex: Are you going?
Kara: Do I look like the kind of person that's in the mood to go to a wedding?

Supergirl: By the way, Eliza texted. You're on cranberry sauce for Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow.
Alex: When am I supposed to go to the grocery store?

Alex: So we know that Supergirl lives, and we know that Reign leaves, eventually. But before she does, she could slaughter thousands.
Winn: Yeah, so what do we do now?
J'onn: The Sundown Protocol. A highly-clasified contingency plan to take down Superman if ever he turns against us. Red sun grenades, sound bombs, kryptonite darts. Everything we'd need to take down a rogue Kryptonian on the loose.
Winn: Sorry, we don't have any more kryptonite. Clark got rid of it all.
Alex: Clark got rid of it for a reason, and a reason that Kara agreed to.
J'onn: That was before Reign. We still have the kryptonite from Coville's probe, right?
Alex: Prep whatever you have to, but before you use it, there's someone I have to talk to.

Alex: Kara! I-I... I sent out a signal. I thought you were coming.
Supergirl: He re-routed the IP address. He sent us somewhere else. Do you have any idea where you are?
Alex: I was unconscious. I-I-I could be hours away or I could be in the city. I... I don't know.
Rick: Alex, it's Rick. I don't want to hurt you. I keep on telling your sister that. Tell her to get my father, and this can all be over. You can come home and get dry.
Alex: No. Kara, no. You do not give that terrorist what he wants. You cannot let yourself be blackmailed. You cannot open yourself up to that, ever. Do you understand me? Supergirl is bigger than me.

Alex: Okay, tell me what's going on.
Alura: Dark Kryptonians stole our ship and flew to Earth. It turns out the Harun-El we used to kill Reign and save Sam split them apart. But Reign is only dormant, not gone. The Dark Kryptonian witches want to resurrect her and use her to terraform the Earth, turning it into a new Krypton.
Alex: Okay, tell me you have a plan.
Alura: Mon-El and I need to get back to Earth. Father has a transmat portal, but we need to make it work.
Winn: Transmat portal? Okay, I can help you set yours up, then we will get ours working, and then we can interface them, yes. And you are, Kara, right?
Alex: Yes!
Winn: I knew that. I knew that.

Alex: Director Henshaw, thank you for helping me set up that room.
Hank: It's the least I could do. It's for Supergirl.
Alex: I won't tell you her you called her that.
Hank: I'd appreciate it.

J'onn: You're not seriously thinking of doing this, are you?
Kara: What if I *could* change things? If I told Lena that I was Supergirl before Lex, maybe she would have reacted differently. I mean, isn't that worth a try?
Alex: Changing history to save a friendship? Kara, I don't... I don't know.
Kara: This is changing history to *save* history, 'cause Lex and Lena are planning something horrible, and we are no closer to finding out what that is. And when the fight comes... I don't know if I have what it takes to stop her.

Alex: Your choice to conceal your identity, it wasn't born out of a place of maliciousness. It was born out of love and compassion. You were just trying to protect your family. You were trying to protect Lena from people who could use that information to hurt us. And, look, I love Lena, too. I am deeply upset by what is going on. This is... this isn't just two friends that are in a fight. This is someone who has turned a corner.
Supergirl: No, but this is not her. This is not our Lena.
Alex: Well, who is our Lena? I mean... she knew that Lex was out of prison, and she said nothing. She kept Sam Arias locked in-in a subbasement at L-Corp, knowing that she was Reign, and she said nothing. She knows how to make kryptonite, and she kept that hidden from us. Lena is living her own double life.
Supergirl: You are making her sound like a Luthor.
Alex: Maybe that's because she is one. We can't put our faith in some distant hope that she's gonna do the right thing, and... when every single action that she has taken up until now points to the contrary. Okay, we have to stop her, Kara. The safety of the world depends on that.
Supergirl: No, she is not Lex. I will not treat her like a villain.
Alex: I know you won't. That's why I have to.

Alex: [Kara brings an unconscious Lena into the DEO] What happened?
Kara: Edge tried to poison her. It was in her coffee.
Alex: 200 milligrams phenobarbital, stat. Come on, Lena. Calm down, calm down. Two liters of saline, run it open. I want a radial artery line and two red tox.
DEO: Blood pressure, 70 over palp. Pulse is 30 and falling.
Alex: I need to know what poison he used.
Kara: I-I-I-I don't know.
Alex: [to herself] Mustard gas, cyanid, strychnine.
[taking Lena's mask off and smelling her breath]
Alex: Almonds. That's cyanide. Fifty mils of sodium thiosulfate. How long has it been?
Kara: About two, three minutes.
Alex: Cyanide is circulating through her system. Her brain and her heart are going to shut down. I need to slow down her circulation in order for this to work.
Kara: How do you slow it down?
Alex: Induce hypothermia.
Kara: I can do it. Let me do it.
Alex: [to the medic] Hold on.
[Kara uses her freeze breath on Lena]
Alex: Okay, that's good.
Kara: [watching her vitals] Come on, come on, come on.
Alex: Come on, Lena.
[after a moment, Lena's vitals return to normal; Kara heaves a sigh of relief]
Alex: Normal sinus rhythm. You saved her.
Kara: No, we did.

Alex: Kara is in trouble. And nothing I am doing is working
Alura: I do not have sufficient data regarding this species.
Alex: Damn it, Kara is relying on me! She has always relied on me. Ever since you sent her here. I'm sure you had hoped that she would find people that would take care of her. Who would love her like she was their own. I did. I only wish I had been a better sister to her when she first got here. I can't, I can't even imagine it now. I used to resent her. For coming into my home, for following me around at school. Some strange girl who didn't know how to fit in. For embarrassing me, in front of my friends. All Kara wanted was a family. And that's what she is to me. She is my sister! And she needs me now. More than ever. So please, tell me how to help my little sister!
Alura: I do not have sufficient information regarding this species.

M'yrnn: "The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover."
Alex: What?
J'onn: Cheating again. Come on, dad, no mind reading.
M'yrnn: You keep accusing me of not following the rules. You are one to talk.
[J'onn is confused]
M'yrnn: My son used to wait for me to leave, and the moment I had gone, he would switch around the pieces on the Ok-Rock-Tock board. When I caught him, he blamed his imaginary friend... what was his name?
James: Wait, wait, wait. I'm sorry. You had an imaginary friend?
J'onn: No, I...
M'yrnn: Oh, yes, he did. You said he was a fifth-dimensiona imp who came just to move the pieces. What was his name?
J'onn: [giving in] Zook.
M'yrnn: Zook!
Alex: [amused] Zook!
M'yrnn: "Zook! Zook did it! It was Zook!" That was you.

Alex: [offering Kara dinner] Join me.
Kara: I can't. I have a deadline.
[snickering as Alex's face falls]
Kara: Okay, fine. But I call the potstickers.
Alex: What?
Kara: All of them.
Alex: No!
Kara: Mm-hmm.
Alex: That's ridiculous.
Kara: Uh-uh.

Alex: [to Supergirl in virtual Krypton] I can't promise you a life without pain and loss because pain is a part of life. It's what makes us who we are. It is what makes you a hero!

President: This is a complete disaster.
Colonel: Lives were saved on Shelley Island. A dozen domestic terrorists were brought to justice.
President: I'm talking about my poll numbers, which just got a big old shave.
Alex: I'm sorry, you're letting the polls...
Colonel: Uh, sir, you-you have my word, as soon as we take down this organization's leader, your numbers will be back to their usual luster.
President: You think finding Agent Liberty will fix this, find Agent Liberty!

Alex: What's wrong, Supergirl? You too afraid to put up a fight?
Supergirl: Never.
[she tackles "Alex"]
Alex: Nice shot, sis.
Supergirl: You're not my sister.
Alex: [Supergirl prepares to fire her heat vision] Oh, maybe heat vision isn't a good idea in a room with an unstable nuclear reactor.
Supergirl: Well, then I guess we're gonna have to do this the old-fashioned way.

J'onn: What did he mean "Jensen"?
Alex: We had a security breach. The president's attackers, they escaped custody, and one of our DEO recruits, he helped them. J'onn, I can fix this. I can fix her. I am not losing my sister today.

Alex: How are you feeling? Any better?
Maggie: Now I just feel like I got kicked in the gut instead of the face.
Alex: Well, after you file your report, do you want to... do you want to go do something? There's a great pinball bar that I know. Or, um, that-that Food Channel guy's new tapas place opened.
Maggie: I don't really feel like I'm up to it.
Alex: Come on, you should... you should come out. We'll-we'll go and, you know, have fun, and-and celebrate singledom.
Maggie: I don't really feel like celebrating getting dumped.

Supergirl: That woman was scared before her eyes turned white. She looked me in the eye and she asked me for help. It's... it's like someone else took over her.
Alex: Due respect, but what I saw in that house was a very capable liar putting on an act so she can get close enough to kill you.
Supergirl: No. No, I don't think she's faking it.
Alex: You told me about the vision you had. The world was burning. That is the Worldkiller that you saw.
Supergirl: Yes, but what if there's a part of her that isn't? If I can get her to be Julia again, doesn't that mean that there's someone we can work with? This?
[gesturing around the room, indicating the DEO in general]
Supergirl: This isn't telling us anything. Julia might.
Alex: We can try it your way.
Supergirl: Thank you.
Alex: And when your way fails, we try it mine.

[a White Martian is masquerading as Alex]
Alex: Well, to tell you the truth, I'm glad they found your sister. It is so exhausting pretending to care about your silly little feelings.
Supergirl: If you hurt her...
Alex: You'll what? Whine at me?

Kara: [seeing a news report about James' revelation as the Guardian] He did it.
Alex: How about Winn joining the Legion?
Kara: Do you think he'll make them new outfits?
Alex: Oh, absolutely.

Dreamer: Guys. I found recording crystals.
Lex: Ah, yes. When I arrived, she was in the middle of a missive. Sort of a last will and testament. Very dry. You're lucky I cut her off when I did.
Alex: [Nia moves to insert the crystal] No. No, no, no. We are not watching those, 'cause Kara is not dead. We are bringing her home. And you are going to wish that you were dead while you are rotting in that cell.
Lex: Hmm. About that... I'm not going anywhere near a cell. Unless you want me to reveal Supergirl's identity. She may be gone, but she still has an awful lot of enemies out there. It would be tragic if Mama Danvers or your lovely Kelly Olsen were to become the target of one of...
Lena: [slugging him, hard] Sorry. Did you want to do that?
Alex: No. Family first.

Querl: [after J'onn vists the DEO] I do miss him.
[seeing Alex's look]
Querl: Not that I don't enjoy your leadership.
[seeing her expression change again]
Querl: I can sense that you're upset about the current state of the nation. I'd like to assure you that based on my calculations, this moment of crisis does not deeply impact our planet.
Alex: I don't know if you've noticed, Brainy, but we're not in the future. And the future can change.
Querl: Ah! That was "snark". You snark when your blood sugar is low. I know how to help you. Pizza. Humans seem to find calm in the consumption of food. My calculations lead me to the conclusion that pizza might be the right thing at this very moment for everyone.
Alex: [irked] Go.
Querl: All right.

Winn: Samples from the remains of the victims confirm they were killed by heat vision.
Alex: So our bad guy is Kryptonian.
Winn: Yep. And Morgan Edge had nothing to do with it. Hey, well, at least it's not related to the guy with the laser gun who went after Lena.
Kara: No, that guy was just someone Edge hired to try to kill Lena.
Agent: He thought he could get away with killing her and blame it on the Kryptonian?
J'onn: It's just like Coville said. Work of the Beast.
Winn: It's creepy.
Kara: But Coville's a fanatic, not a prophet.
J'onn: The two don't have to be mutually exclusive. He said this, the Beast would come. She would mark the city and then She would take it. I think it's worth pushing through the noise here to see the truth.
Kara: Well, the moment you start believing in something is the moment you give your power away. I'm not gonna give away mine. So what we know about this Kryptonian is that she's a pretender. I beat Kal down to the ground when I had to. I'll beat her down, too.

Lillian: I'm afraid we haven't time for any last words, Dream Girl...
Dreamer: It's "Dreamer".
[she kicks the weapon out of Lillian's hands]
Alex: [tasering Otis] Who's got the headache now?
[Lillian portals them away]
Alex: [handing the bottle to Nia] Here. Let's hope we're not too late for Kara.

Eve: Where's the gel electrophoresis apparatus?
Alex: Uh, that would be in that room, third cabinet on the right.

Kelly: So, the last thing that Al knows is that his brother checked himself into some hotel who knows where, and that he met up with some friends at a place called the Escape Palace?
Alex: Yeah, located somewhere in Virtual Las Vegas. We figured that Trevor must have paid cash for his room, because there's no paper trail of him anywhere. So, I was thinking maybe I could got into Virtual Las Vegas, and just see what I could find.
Kelly: Okay.
[giving her a pair of VR lenses]
Kelly: Now, these lenses are very different than the original. Okay? Obsidian Platinum doesn't just utilize a brain link, it connects to your biology.
Alex: Which means what, exactly?
Kelly: So, in this version, you're not just seeing virtual reality, you're feeling it. Cold will feel cold, hot will feel hot, everything will feel real. So, once you're in, you'll be in what looks like a lobby. There, you will select your desired experience. You will see a panel of virtual options, mined from your own thoughts and desires. Virtual Las Vegas is one of these.
Alex: Okay, so what happens when I get inside? What are the rules?
Kelly: That's the difference between reality and virtual reality. Inside Obsidian Platinum, there are no rules.
Alex: Great. Sounds easy.
Kelly: You'll get the hang of it. I promise. Just remember, if you need to come out, say "end simulation." And if, for some reason, it gets too intense in there and you can't say that, the program will launch your failsafe button. You can't miss it. Just touch it, and you will be pulled out.
Alex: And I'll be able to communicate with you?
Kelly: The whole time.

Querl: She's fine. Thirty more seconds and her suit would've stopped filtering K-radiation.
Alex: And she would be dead.
Querl: Horribly so.

Warden: The whereabouts of the five alien workers are unknown at this time, but we believe that while they were making their escape, they kidnapped Van Kull officer Larry Chapman.
Supergirl: [watching on TV at the Tower] That officer held them at gunpoint.
Kelly: We need to find them.
Alex: Well, it's obvious someone has infiltrated the prison program and is using Orlando and the other workers for their alien powers.
J'onn: Exactly. So, we have a Metalomite who can warp metal, a Toradine who creates force fields, an Obscuran who has cloaking abilities, and a Dynamorph who can unleash energy blasts.
Supergirl: And Orlando is a Zeltarian who can produce EMPs.
Kelly: I promised Joey I'd help, and all I did was put his brother in danger.
Supergirl: They were threatened. I should have been able to save them.
J'onn: The only people to blame are those behind all this.
Alex: Well, whoever they are, if they're dead set on getting their hands on a dirty bomb, then they're bound to target other sources of uranium.
Supergirl: Well, we can't let that happen, or they'd have enough material to make 20 bombs.
J'onn: Contaminate the whole city. We can start by following all five alien energy signatures.
Alex: Right now, there's no trace of 'em. I mean, they must be shielded somehow. I'll... I don't know, I'll look for ways around it.
Supergirl: While you do that, I'm gonna head back to the prison. Warden Kote needs to know the truth.

Kelly: [Esme accidentally phases through a wall] Sweetie, are you okay?
Alex: Hey, hey. It's okay. It's okay. It's just your powers. Listen, so you can mimic other aliens' powers, and sometimes without even knowing it. Well, this time you mimicked J'onn's powers, and-and... he's a Martian. And I-I'm so sorry that I didn't tell you he was an alien. I-I-I'm so sorry, Esme.
J'onn: Esme, what you just did is called phasing.
Esme: I'm sorry. I won't do it again. I promise.
Kelly: Oh, sweetie, you're not in trouble.

J'onn: Manchester Black spent a year launching personal attacks against me. If I can survive him, I can survive anything.
Alex: We still have to find Midnight. And we don't know who got her here or why.
Querl: The good news is a battle like that must have depleted her powers. I think we bought ourselves up to 24 hours before she's able to attack again.
Supergirl: Good. I'll circle the country and see if I can find her while she's still weak. J'onn, can you shapeshift and accept my award tonight?
Querl: Oh, yes, please, it's great fun to watch you do that.
Alex: Kara, no. *You* are accepting that award. And we're all gonna be there to watch. We'll find Midnight, and we're gonna face her the same exact way that we face everything else. Together.

J'onn: Prime will have his progeny protecting his lair. We'll have to be careful around those talons.
Lena: I may already have a fix for that. I couldn't wait to get started, so I stayed up all last night and made this.
[taking a weapon out of its case]
Lena: I merged a DEO protogun and L-Corp's portal energy.
Dreamer: What is it?
Lena: Well, I call it a Prototrap. It's designed to trap Prime Phantom and his progeny hands-free and transport them directly to containment.
Brainiac: Just like in "Ghostbusters."
Lena: Except that's a movie.
Brainiac: It's the perfect movie.
Lena: The Prototrap is real.
Brainiac: Okay.
Alex: Rescuing Supergirl and stopping the Phantom infection. I was afraid it was never gonna happen.

Alex: You okay?
Supergirl: No. I couldn't get through to her.
Alex: Sorry.
Supergirl: You know, a part of me always knew that this couldn't be that easy. And I get it. I fully understand why she feels betrayed. It's so hard for her to trust people. But I made her trust me. Over and over again, I made her believe that I was the best friend who would never, ever hurt her. And then she finds out in the most horrible way that our entire friendship was based on... lies.

Supergirl: I have to stop him.
Eliza: Kara, you barely escaped with your life.
Alex: And he has a weapon that killed Red Daughter.
Supergirl: He did experiments on her in Kaznia. Ke knows how to take her down, but he still needed Red Daughter to kill me.
Alex: You basically died.
Supergirl: But I survived. And Lex doesn't know that. That's to my advantage.
Eliza: Lex and the President have succeeded in convincing the people that all aliens are dangerous. That Supergirl is the enemy.
Eliza: And Lex is the hero.
Supergirl: Well, I guess it's my job to show them who Lex really is. Show them the truth.
Eliza: I just fear that the people won't listen.
Supergirl: No, I will not let fear win. And with my sister by my side, anything is possible.

Alex: You're not upset that Brainy's just killing it over there with this game, right? 'Cause you know we're gonna take him down.
Kara: Uh, we're gonna cream him...
Alex: Yeah.
Kara: But... no, I'm, uh... I'm worried about Lena. I have to tell her the truth. I can't keep it from her anymore.
Alex: Lena's been through hell. And we finally got to a place where where it sort of feels a little normal again, so, I don't know, maybe you just let her enjoy the evening before we take it away.
Kara: You're right. Not tonight.

Kara: Alex, the amulet. Elizabeth's mother stole it. She gave it to Jensen so he could keep the powers he's been taking.
Alex: How did the mom even know?
Kara: She found it on the Dark Web. A group called Children of Liberty?
Querl: An alien-absorbing human with an agenda to kill as many aliens as possible, and absorb as many powers as possible, thereby making himself invincible. I believe the most logical place for him to show up next would be...
Alex: Amadei's vigil.
Kara: [glancing at J'onn] We're on our way.

Kara: [hearing a commotion outside her apartment] Parasite!
Alex: How is he still alive?
Kara: [getting into superhero mode] I don't know. Stay here.

Maggie: I appreciate the beer and the pool, but I think I need to go home and drink something a little harder and lose my cool. See you later.
Alex: Okay. Well, hey, feel better.

Alex: Oh, hey, I got Esme's test results back. There's fifth-dimensional energy in her blood.
Kelly: What does that mean?
Alex: Well, that-that tattoo, it... it looked familiar.
Kelly: Like the design on the stone in the original Love totem.
Alex: Okay, we know the totems can be reconstituted, so... what if Esme somehow became the Love totem?
Kara: We need to get back to the Tower, now.

Alex: How is the president doing? I saw she didn't take the pardon.
Supergirl: No, she didn't want to cause any more chaos. Has Mercy's brother talked? Do we have a lead on her location?
Alex: Otis plays dumb, but he's protecting her. All he's given me is that the president was just phase one.
Supergirl: Well, we won't let it get to phase two.

Alex: [about an inexplicably dead pigeon] Well, that was a very sick creature. And what's odd is that I can't find a virus or infection of any kind.
Supergirl: Well, something must have done that.
Imra: The Blight.
Mon: We went through this on Winath. The Blight is preceeded by mass wildlife death and plant life, crops rotting in the earth.
Imra: Soon it will manifest in people.
Mon: It's a short incubation period. It's 100% fatal and extremely contagious.

Alex: Hey, there you are. I went to look for you at the hospital, but they said you already left.
Lena: I got better. I thought the FBI had already gone through this. Have you changed your mind about me?
Alex: No, of course not. I came to ask for your help.
Lena: I'm sorry. It's been a day.

Alex: Brainy just updated us. You're chasing a nightmare monster?
Supergirl: Yes, and it's headed toward a nuclear plant.
Lena: Bringing up the coordinates now. If it attacks the plant and the core is compromised, that entire area will be exposed to radiation.
Alex: J'onn, can you calm the creature?
J'onn: [trying, it swats him away] Nothing I can do is stopping it. It's almost at the power plant.
Supergirl: Lena, what about something from your mother's book of spells?
Lena: Magic doesn't work that way. It's a process and I'm still learning. I could try something old-school. When Lex was at the DEO, he developed a satellite-based force field that could wall off an entire city. I could bypass the satellite's security and re-route Dreamer's adaptors to the feed, and I could put up a dome that not even that creature could get through.
Alex: Okay, but that'll trap that thing in with half the city.
Lena: Do we have a choice?
Alex: Supergirl?
Supergirl: Do it!
[the force field activates, and the creature tries to get through]
Supergirl: We did it. We trapped it.
J'onn: [it disappears] Now it's invisible.

Mon: Can you imagine if we had Reign to deal with?
Lena: Unfortunately, I think we do.
Alex: Sam, you should be in bed.
Samantha: I need to be here. This involves me.

Nia: And that's when their bodies started to reform like out of a horror movie.
Alex: Yeah, but that means...
Kelly: They're indestructible.
M'gann: Immortal.
Supergirl: This isn't about defeating them anymore. They want us to fight until we drop. So they can distract us from whatever Lex is planning.
Lena: Do we even know what that is?
Supergirl: I'm gonna go find out.

J'onn: Dreamer, you'll be on Phantom detection duty. If they attack the ship, Lena's got a surprise for them.
Lena: [showing them a yellow sun bomb] I cooked this up from the DEO's yellow sun grenades. It has enough firepower to disperse any Phantoms nearby and recharge Supergirl's powers. But it's a one-shot thing, so we have to use it wisely.
Brainiac: I'll be the getaway driver, ready to make a quick exit.
J'onn: And it will need to be quick. The Tower shields can only withstand the Phantom Zone for two hours before the ship will start to degrade around us.
Dreamer: [sarcastic] Great. No pressure.
J'onn: That power level meter will keep track of how strong our shields are. If it drops into the red, we'll be in trouble. And we'll have to abandon the mission.
Alex: Well, we're not gonna let that happen, because we're ready, and we can do this together. Now, we only have one shot.
J'onn: Well, let's be sure to get it right. Everyone take your positions.

J'onn: Problem?
Alex: Oh, there was a minor kerfuffle, but, uh, no one was hurt and Kara's got it handled, so you just keep relaxing.

Kara: If this Eve is working with Lex, William has no idea the danger he's in. I... Alex, I have to do something. I can't just sit here. I have to help him somehow.
Alex: Okay, listen to me. Stop. I know how hard it is for you to sit on the sidelines. Okay, but Kelly and I, we will handle this. Okay? W-We'll access Eve's files at Obsidian North and we'll see what she's up to. And if she has gotten to William...
[seeing the concern in Kara's face]
Alex: ...hey. We will find him. You just need to stay safe until Lena finishes your suit.
Kara: Okay, all right, fine. But please, be careful.
Alex: You know me.
Kara: Yeah, exactly. That's what I'm worried about.

Alex: So, guess what I picked up on the way.
[she shows Kara the CatCo magazine with Supergirl on the cover]
Kara: Did you actually read the article? Because she says horrible things about me.
Alex: Very well crafted horrible things. Deep beneath that seething disdain, she respects you.
Kara: Really?
Alex: Mm-hmm. Supergirl, I mean. Her assistant, no. She couldn't give a riff about you.

Maggie: Do you not want to marry me?
Alex: Of course I do. Look, I... I want to be your wife. I... I want to have a dog, I want to have a house, all of it. I just... I just don't want a big wedding.
Maggie: Why?
[Alex is reluctant to elaborate]
Maggie: Talk to me, please. You have to tell me what's going on.
Alex: Because my dad won't be there. He can't come. He can't walk me down the aisle.
Maggie: You could have told me that.
Alex: I didn't want to make a big deal out of it. I... you're already dealing with family issues that I can't imagine, so I just... I hoped that I would just... let it go.
Maggie: Look, I've had more practice at choosing my family because I've had to. And I think if you take a deep breath, you're gonna find your way out of this. You have so many people who love you. Just think how they can make our day good, and tell me how I can help.
Alex: Okay. I can do that.
Maggie: Okay. I love you.
Alex: You, too. Forever.

Alex: You remember when you said that, uh... if I lost Maggie, that I would be at a bar drinking? That I would be broken? Score one for the girl from Krypton.
[Kara kisses her forehead, then pull out her phone]
Kara: J'onn, this is Kara. You're gonna have to get by at the DEO without Alex and I for a couple of days. Yeah.
[hanging up]
Kara: We are going back to your place, and you're gonna pack a bag.
Alex: Where are we going?
Kara: We're going home.

Sara: [Alex downs a shot of Scotch] Somebody who drinks like that is looking to make something go away.
Alex: Yeah, well. And...
[Sara downs her own shot]
Alex: What are you looking to make go away?
Sara: Nothing. I just like the taste of Scotch.

Alex: Tell me there's something you can do.
J'onn: I can try and create a psychic shield to protect her mind from the attacks.
Alex: It'll work?
J'onn: I don't know.
Gayle: [sensing his presence] Someone else has come to play.
Supergirl: J'onn.

Kara: Hey, you okay?
Alex: Oh, I've dealt with much worse than G.I. Jane coming to babysit me.
Kara: Yeah, but she wouldn't be here if I had followed your orders.
Alex: I'm sorry, where was this attitude six hours ago?

Alex: Prisoner, stand down! Drop your weapon!
Music: Oh, this isn't a weapon. This is part of my brilliant escape.
[opens portal]
Music: Ladies and gentleman, this dimension has been so much fun. I've had a blast! But I gotta go chase down the fastest man alive. Toodles!
[jumps into the portal to Earth-1]

Alex: Well, I'm happy to report that Mary has a clean bill of health. She wants to talk to you.
Winn: [not interested] Yeah, she's had twenty years to talk to me.

Alex: Like I said, Governor, we didn't have a choice in this.
Governor: And like I said, if you won't take your dome down, the National Guard will.
Alex: This situation is above the National Guard, okay? This creature is from the dream realm. Bullets can't harm it. And from what we can tell, dream energy is very similar to nuclear energy. So if you take that dome down, it's gonna go straight back for the plant, making matters even worse.
Governor: Worse? Than trapping thousands of citizens in a bubble with some other-dimensional terror? My phone is ringing off the hook with people locked indoors, sheltering in place, not knowing when they're going to see their family again.
J'onn: Governor, I assure you, we're working on a device that will allow us to transport the creature back to where it came from.
Governor: And when will that be ready?
Alex: [glancing at Brainy and Lena at work] 24 hours.
Governor: You have 12.
Brainiac: [the call ends] Alex, we are not 12 hours away from completing this.
Alex: How long, then?
Brainiac: Uncertain. Restructuring Dream tech requires massive concentration.
Lena: Brainy's just distracted because there's no word from Nia yet.
Brainiac: I'm not distracted. I'm appropriately concerned.

Alex: You okay?
Supergirl: Ugh, I'm gonna be scraping mud out of my cape for a week.

J'onn: All the entrances are secure. We're checking the building right now.
Lynn: Did you check the cellar? There's a back way into the loading dock, but there's no cameras on that door.
Alex: Where is it?
Lynn: South side of the building.
J'onn: I'm on it.

Querl: Supergirl left us a present. And a note. Says "You're welcome."
Alex: Well, she did manage to take down one of the Elite and stop Lockwood's assassination in a day.
Colonel: Then it sounds like you've got some breathing room. Which is a good thing. The president asked me to reassign you to a security detail.
Alex: Security? Whose?
Ben: Mine. But please don't worry, Director Danvers. I, uh... I come in peace.

Supergirl: Alex, there's a dragon on Main Street.
Alex: That's what I get for making a Harry Potter reference.

Samantha: You're here.
Lena: Of course we're here. You think I'd forget about you?
Samantha: Lena. Alex. Supergirl. I killed you, too. I'm sorry.
Supergirl: Sam, no.
Samantha: I'm sorry.
Alex: No, Reign didn't kill us. We're here to help you.
Lena: We're gonna get you out of here.

Kara: Did I kill anyone?
Alex: No. No, you didn't kill anyone.
Kara: [starts to cry] Your arm...
Alex: Broken bones heal, and this will too.
Kara: [crying] It was so horrible Alex. It was so bad. It was so horrible. Every bad thought I've ever had, it just came to the surface. I couldn't stop it. I didn't mean it... I didn't mean what I said to you, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for what I said.
Alex: Kara, you're my sister, and I love you, no matter what... Yeah. There's some truth to what you said. We're going to have to work on that.
Kara: What about J'onn?

Alex: [leaving a meeting with Haley] She's completely dug her heels in here. She has all of the power.
Supergirl: So we're just gonna listen to her?
Alex: What? No way. No, we're still investigating this.
Supergirl: Yeah.
Alex: And if she gets any more Dolores Umbridge-y, I'm going full Weasley twin.
Supergirl: Yeah, and who would eat that pie? It's for sure poisoned.
Alex: Absolutely.
Querl: [approaching with a slice of pie in hand] Mm. I've located the drones that dropped the manifesto. Unfortunately, they're untraceable. No prints, no serial numbers.

Alex: Are you okay? What are you thinking?
Samantha: Yeah, I'm just tired of all the lying. Lies to Lena about my whereabouts, about the press conferences and the board meetings, and the earnings calls, and just all of it. I lie and I tell her that everything is fine.
Alex: I thought you told her about the work trip.
Samantha: I told her that my adopted mother was in the hospital. So that's a lie on a lie on a lie.
Alex: So, maybe it's time for some truth.
Samantha: The truth is that I'm becoming a burden. To Lena. To L-Corp. To you. To my friends. To my daughter. I don't wanna be that person.

Maggie: I was hoping you'd take longer getting home.
Alex: I thought about it. But it's only gonna get harder.
Maggie: I don't want to feel like this. I love you.
Alex: Yeah, I love... I love you back. I, uh...
Maggie: This can't be it. This is stupid. This is...
Alex: We've talked this through, right?
Maggie: Mm-hmm.
Alex: I mean, for days. Now, can you do that again? Can... can you go another couple rounds? Because I can't. Are you ever gonna want to have kids?
Maggie: I want you.
Alex: Yeah, I know, babe. But I want kids. I am always gonna want kids.
Maggie: Then there's nothing else left. You have to say it.
Alex: Maggie...
Maggie: You have to say it out loud. Please.
Alex: We can't be together.

Kara: [preparing for her interview] Alex, any update?
Alex: All good. We will have the portal powered up at the northernmost point of the dome. As soon as it's up, it should draw the monster here, and then we'll get it home before the dome goes down.
Kara: [glancing at the news on TV] Well, that's a problem because the dome is coming down now.
Alex: No, hey, don't worry. We got this.
Kara: [making a decision] Not without me. I'm coming.

Kara: Ever since J'onn left the DEO, I just feel so far from him. I don't really know what his life is like.
Alex: Yeah.
Kara: All I know is I hate his new point of view. It just feels so ominous.
Alex: Well, J'onn is not an alarmist, Kara. I mean, if he's trying to tell you something, I would listen. What are you so afraid of?
Kara: I'm not afraid of anything. It... I just finally feel like the world is good. And I so badly want it to stay that way, even if it's just for a little while.
Alex: Kara Danvers, you are the most courageous person I know. And even if it's hard, if you face it, you can conquer anything.
Kara: I'll try.
Alex: Ha.
Kara: Only if you conquer the urge to not punch Brainy in the face.
Alex: Mm. That is an unfair bargain.

Kelly: You are Alex Danvers. And you love morning hikes and... and-and knock-knock jokes and-and dumplings and lavender soap. We met in the hospital and we butted heads. And I knew right then that you were passionate and fiery and that you would do anything for people you love. And I wanted to be one of them. Last week, you brought me flowers and you asked me to move in with you. It was... it was one of the best things that has ever happened to me. You said I was your rock. Let me be that now. Remember what's real! Come back to me!
Alex: [freed from the Phantom's influence] Kelly?
Kelly: Alex?
Alex: You have to go. Get off this ship while you still can.
Kelly: Where? We're in the Phantom Zone.
Alex: [the ship rumbles] He's out for blood. Go, go. There's an escape pod. Just take it.
Kelly: There's only room for one.
[getting the implication]
Kelly: No, I am not leaving you. And I know you won't leave them.
Alex: Kelly, look. Look at me. You have seen war, okay? You know that there are some battles that you just can't fight. Sometimes you have to retreat and you have to protect yourself. The rest of us, we're... we're too far gone.
[the Phantom breaks open its containment unit]
Alex: I am not strong enough to protect you. Please.
Kelly: No.
Alex: Please, go.
Kelly: No.
Alex: Now!
Kelly: [the Phantom regains its control of her] Alex!

M'gann: That's Silas? And a Phantom's attack did this?
J'onn: Yes. And with that Phantom still on the loose, it could be infecting other victims. We need to find that Phantom and anyone he may have turned. M'gann, you and I will keep searching the city, scanning for cold-energy signatures. We can use Silas as a baseline template. Brainy, get into Silas's social media, scan for facial recognition. We need to find those roommates.
Alex: What do we do if they've already been turned?
Brainiac: Act very carefully. These... progeny will be just as powerful as the Phantom, but they're still innocent people. A remote-activated kinetic inhibitor can be triggered from up to a mile away, keeping us at a safe distance so that we don't also become infected. I'll begin constructing one now, along with some additional Phantom containment units.
J'onn: Good. Until then, we need to locate that Phantom and keep everybody safe.

J'onn: [at game night with Kara and Alex] If I didn't know better, I'd say you guys were psychic.
Kelly: Well, we are starting to finish each other's...
Alex: Sandwiches.
Kelly: Cute.
J'onn: Well, whatever it is, living together certainly suits you.

Alex: I have to show you something. Okay. Stay right there.
[with a flick of her gauntlet, her new vigilante suit materializes]
Kara: [shrieking] AHHHHH! Oh, my god!
Alex: J'onn made it for me.
Kara: She looks great!
J'onn: Oh, it was a scream of delight. Thank H'ronmeer.

J'onn: Reign is finding bigger targets. She wants to teach us an abject lesson.
Alex: She's gonna cleanse the sinners of society locked away. The ones she feels were granted mercy. She's gonna hit Albatross Bay.
Mon: [an alert sounds] No, she's already there.
Alex: She's gonna kill everyone. Prisoners, guards, it won't matter.
J'onn: They'll be fish in a barrel. I'll go.
Alex: No, you can't. Not alone. She's too strong.
Mon: [sharing a look with Imra] You know, we have been asleep for many years.
Imra: And we ought to get some exercise.
Querl: You're being facetious?
Mon: [amused] This guy.

J'onn: That's a high-pressure regulator. Aluminum rods were just a cover. That was his real target.
Alex: What would DuBois need it for?
Winn: Well, he also stole a cloaking device from the Daxamite ship.
J'onn: And how exactly do those two things go together?
Alex: With the regulator, he could stabilize the internal pressure of an F-18 or a B-52 to withstand the force emitted by a cloaking shield.
Winn: Wait. Able to retrofit it into a fully-cloaked aircraft. Our... our equipment would not be able to detect that. Not even Supergirl's x-ray vision could pick it up.
Alex: He could drop a nuke from the sky and nobody in National City would even know he was overhead.
Winn: Until it was too late.

Kara: So what are you saying? We just sit back and do nothing?
Hank: Reactron, whoever he is, is human. Which means this case falls out of the DEO's jurisdiction.
Kara: This man flies and shoots nuclear fireballs! How is that not extra-normal?
Alex: He's using advanced biomedical tech. Man-made tech.
Hank: I can't risk exposing this organization every time some human criminal shows up in National City.
Kara: And I can't just let the man run wild.
Hank: Call your cousin. Superman fights for truth, justice and the American way. Last time I checked, National City was in America.

Alex: If you're going to Mars, then Kara's going with you.
Kara: Yeah.
J'onn: I won't have you endanger your life just to fight my battles.
Kara: Your battles are my battles, J'onn.
J'onn: I can't take you away from Alex's shower.
Alex: Are you kidding? If I thought that I could survive Mars, then I would be right there fighting by your side.
Kara: J'onn, if Krypton still existed and I had to go back to where my parents were buried under rubble, I know you wouldn't let me do it alone.

Winn: So Coville says that this is like the sign of the devil. A Kryptonian 666.
Alex: Do you believe him?
Kara: No. No, I think Coville calling me is an excuse for him to feel relevant.
J'onn: It reaffirms the narrative he chooses to believe and gives his life purpose.
Kara: We don't even know if the person burning these symbols is Kryptonian.
Alex: It's probably a bunch of vandals who don't even know what it means.

Samantha: I'm late, I know. It's been a really long day, but I got the cookies.
Alex: No worries. Come in.
Samantha: Christmas shopping, conference call with some very unpleasant men who were yelling at me in German, and then Ruby told me about the cookies, I'd forgot. The Italian bakery that I really liked, it was closed, so, you know, you get these.
Alex: Okay, sounds like somebody needs to take a break and maybe have a drink. Or two.

Winn: So, tell me what I missed with this whole Crisis thing.
J'onn: Not tell you. Show you.
Winn: Ah.
J'onn: But I must warn you. The truth of the old Earth could be quite upsetting.
Winn: Uh, not more upsetting than what I'm already dealing with, so... how bad can it be?
[J'onn's eyes turn red, and he touches Winn's temple; a few moments later, Winn vomits into a paper bag]
Kara: Okay, get it out. Get it all out. It's okay.
Winn: Whoa! Uh, so, wait, Lena killed Lex? And then he came back to life? And James runs a small-town newspaper and mentors children? That's... that's adorable! And you! You were...
Kara: What?
Winn: ...what, you were Russian?
Kara: Yes. Kaznian. But that wasn't really me.
Winn: And so evil Lex now owns the DEO?
Alex: Yeah. Oh, but let me tell you about the doppelgangers who came through a wormhole...
[Winn gags and starts vomiting into his bag again]

Alex: You said you dreamt of Sam.
J'onn: But people don't dream during a seizure.
Supergirl: It-it's the same dream I've been having for the last year. I'm in the Kryptonian valley, Juru. Normally, I see the Worldkillers, but today, I saw Sam.
Alex: You dreamt of Julia Freeman, too. She turned out to be real.

Alex: Speaking of that White Martian, um... when it was me, did you have a conversation? Because I have these memories; they're like, um... well, it's almost like a dream that... that we talked, but I'm not really sure if that was real.
Kara: Do you remember?
Alex: Yeah. So I'm not crazy.
Kara: Nope. I guess if the White Martian's bond is strong enough, the telepathy goes both ways.

Alex: Don't you think that it's weird that we're sitting here eating dumplings like everything is normal, and yet Jeremiah is gone?
Kelly: No. The only permanent thing about life is that things change. The cycle of life goes on. And you... still need to eat.
Kara: Yeah, you know what? This book that Lena gave me actually has strikingly similar advice. "Things are constantly in flux, arising and passing with each moment." We have no control, so eat the dumplings.
Alex: Yeah. Well, I still can't believe the fact that she gave you that after everything that happened.
Kara: Well, maybe she's coming around. Seeing the light about Lex.
Kelly: No. No light about him. That man is...
Kara: The devil incarnate.

Alex: Hey, thanks for coming. We need all hands on deck for this.
Kelly: Of course. I brought the Obsidian Neuro-Imager you asked for.
J'onn: Thank you, Kelly. Think of what we're about to do as a soul transfusion. First, we'll need a Sacred U'ra'er'run. It's used for spiritual rituals in Mars. This one's been in my family for centuries.
Lena: How does it work?
Brainiac: In theory, the U'ra'er'run will act as a conductor. A modified Fal-Tor-Pan, as it were.
[seeing Lena's blank stare]
Brainiac: Star Trek III: The Search for Spock? It'll allow us to re-fuse J'onn's piece of M'gann's soul to her body.
Alex: And, Kelly, you'll neuro-image M'gann, make sure she's safe during the transfer.
Kelly: Okay.
J'onn: Brainy will man the U'ra'er'run, while I cleave M'gann's soul from mine. I'll then transfer it into here to complete the process.
Alex: The transfusion has to happen at the exact moment M'gann's soul leaves her body, but before she starts to turn.
J'onn: If we miss this window, she will be lost.
Brainiac: [an alarm sounds and a window freezes over] The temperature inside the tower just plummeted.
Lena: It's the Phantoms. They must have followed the others here.
J'onn: I've got M'gann. You take care of those Phantoms.

Alex: If they're regular Kryptonians, we should be able to track them down.
Alura: They're protected by magic.
Winn: I will find them.
Supergirl: Do you think we should call J'onn?
Alex: No, he's with M'yrnn. I'll get him if the situation becomes dire.

Alex: I sent a team to scan the area. No signs of extraterrestrial activity, so we can probably rule out an alien shapeshifter. Unless there's something you're not telling us.
Hank: The skirt was surprisingly comfortable, but no.

Alex: If Claymore is launched, what are our odds?
Querl: 98% chance Myriad will be neutralized, and a .01% chance Lena will surrender, which makes it a virtual certainty Lena will not survive.
Alex: And if we use Malefic?
Querl: Our odds shift slightly. 86% chance we will stop Myriad and a 0% chance Lena will be harmed.
Alex: Lock Claymore in position, and prep Malefic. But, Brainy, you let him know that if he so much as smiles, I will have a dozen agents and their guns pointed directly at his heart.

Lena: Where is she?
Alex: She's this way. Hey, listen, I know that you and Supergirl, you don't always see eye to eye on everything, but it means a tremendous amount to us, to... to me, that you're always here when we need you the most.
Lena: People underestimate me, but I care. I really do.

Alex: Hey, you okay?
Querl: I told Supergirl to go the wrong way. She could have gotten caught.
Alex: Everyone makes mistakes, Brainy.
Querl: No. No, not me. I predict eventualities with a 98.525% accuracy rating. It used to be 99.12% before... this happened.
Alex: Is this about what happened at the pizza place today?

Supergirl: The fortress is gone, like it was never there. Stone turned to sand.
Alex: And Reign is gone, too. She's untraceable.
J'onn: You know, that eclipse ended as soon as the fortress was destroyed.
Winn: We got rid of two out of the three Worldkillers. Like, that's a win.
Alex: And we'll find Sam, somehow.
Supergirl: I know.

James: I have my shield on me. I can help you find Mercy and Otis.
Lena: No. If you go out as Guardian, you'll be arrested.
Alex: She's right. We already have enough boots on the ground.

Alex: A couple of bruised ribs and what feels like a giant hematoma on my ass. But it could have been worse. It could have been rugby.
J'onn: Alex, you could have been killed.
Supergirl: Don't joke.
Alex: Calm down. Winn, please give them something else to think about.
Winn: Uh... we lost track of Reign and Julia, like, minutes after they flew away.

Querl: You told Colonel Haley to press the signal watch twice.
Alex: Yes. You know the code. Push it once, she comes; push it twice, it's a trap, don't come.
Querl: Thus keeping her safe. Brilliant. Yet Supergirl isn't the only one at risk. Since Benjamin Lockwood has come for her today, there is a high probability that next week he'll come for the entire alien registry.
Alex: Yeah.
Querl: After which he'll start rounding up aliens without discrimination, ergo I propose... we scrub the alien registry from our database.
Alex: If that's what you think, and until I can get Haley to listen to reason, then we need to do whatever we can. But please, Agent Dox, be clandestine.
Querl: Of course.
[a little too loudly, as she turns to leave]
Querl: As you well know, no one is more clandestine than I. No one.

Alex: Your cousin has a base; it's a fortress, I guess, in the Arctic. Now, we don't know much about it, but we do know that it's a place that he's been able to commune with his Kryptonian ancestors.
Supergirl: How? They're all gone.
Alex: They're no longer alive, yes.
[gesturing to a biometric lock]
Alex: The door will only open for you.
[Kara places her hand on the scanner and the door opens; entering, she stops short when she sees Alura]
Supergirl: Mom.
Alura: Hello, Kara.
Supergirl: Wait. I don't... I don't understand.
Alex: The message we found in your pod was... it was part of an interactive artificial intelligence program that's culled from living memory. It's not really her, but...
Alura: Kara, I've been programmed to offer you assistance here on Earth.
Supergirl: [quietly] Thank you, Alex.
Alex: I'll let you two talk.

Supergirl: I don't know what I'm gonna do. When I accessed the totem's gauntlet at the Hague, it said I needed to inspire a hope that burns longer and brighter than the sun. But it didn't give me a starting point like last time, and I can't afford to try and fail. I mean, you saw how bad things got when I didn't pass the Courage gauntlet. I-I try to provide people with hope all the time, and what can I do differently now?
Lena: Well, on the bright side, if it's a race between you and Nxyly to prove hope for a Hope totem, I know where my money is going.
[Alex gets off the elevator]
Lena: Is Esme all right?
Alex: Uh, yeah. Yeah, she's okay. Um, I had her mimic Brainy, and then I asked her to solve the Coluan equivalent of Einstein's theory of relativity, but she got a little overwhelmed with the calculation, so we stopped. Do you think maybe you could give a little hope to some little girl who's down in the dumps? I mean, I know if she just keeps trying, she's gonna get it.
Supergirl: Well, for that little girl, anything.
Lena: El mayara.

Alex: [carrying her high heels, sighs] Wearing these is just as painful as being punched by a Kryptonian.

William: What's your takeaway from today's encounter with Nxyly and Lex?
J'onn: I'd say it's a huge win. They no longer have a ship, no LexoSuit army, and no totems.
Supergirl: [flying in] And we also have five totems secured at the Fortress of Solitude, but don't print that.
Alex: [coming in with Kelly, Esme, and Lena] Great job, guys. Lena just filled us in.
Kelly: And more importantly, please give a big round of applause to the new school baking champion.
Supergirl: [Esme holds up her stuffed zebra with a blue ribbon on it] Hurray!
William: [high-fiving] Put her there.
Lena: That's a perfect kickoff to the big party tonight.
Kelly: About that, our sitter just called out sick with the stomach flu, so you'll only have Alex.
William: Oh, don't be ridiculous. I'll take care of Esme. She and I have a baker's bond, right?
Alex: William, we wanted you at the party.
William: Please, I'm... I'm happy to help. See it as a part of a wedding gift.

Alex: You okay?
Kelly: Got a bum knee.
Alex: Ah.
Kelly: It really sucks when your body starts breaking down, huh?
Alex: Yeah, seriously. Sometimes I wonder when I can't run as fast as I used to, I'm like "Oh, right. I'm not 20 anymore." No one is spared.
Kelly: James will be.
Alex: Must be strange to have a sibling with superpowers, huh?

Alex: [knocking on Kara's door] Kara, it's me. Can we talk?
[Kara x-rays the door and sees her outside]
Alex: I know you can see me. I know what you're thinking, okay? That this is all your fault. But it's not. Before you came to live with us, I was the star. And then, I mean... h... how could I compete with you? With... with someone who could touch the stars? You know, I was happy when you decided not to use your powers. You know, you... feeling like less, it somehow, it... made me feel like more. Now the world needs you to fly, Kara.
Kara: [opening the door] I can't, Alex. I can't do it.
Alex: Yeah, you can. Your family believes in you.
Kara: I know you do.
Alex: No, I don't mean me.
Kara: [Alex hands her a metallic box] That's Kryptonese writing.
Alex: Yeah. Hank and his old team recovered it from the pod that brought you to Earth.

Alex: I'm not gonna let the chopsticks defeat me tonight. But you, you're gonna have to open the wine. I, I tried.
[putting the bottle down for Kara]
Alex: There we go.
[sitting down next to her]
Alex: Okay.
Kara: It was so cold in there.
Alex: What?
Kara: In the... Phantom Zone.
Alex: Oh, Kara...
Kara: So empty. Every breath felt like... like ice. And I was so weak.
Alex: It's okay. You don't have to talk about this, okay? Remember?
Kara: No, no, no, I-I want to. I need to.
Alex: Okay.
Kara: I don't wanna be alone anymore.
Alex: You are not alone. You've got me.
[Kara allows herself to let her emotions out]
Alex: It's okay.
Kara: I think I just... I just... so desperately wanted to get away from the Phantom Zone that I... didn't let myself process... how much I went through. How afraid I was.
[Alex gives her a comforting hug]
Kara: What if that fear never goes away?

Kara: So Mon-El just showed up like nothing was wrong?
Alex: I think he was just trying to make things seem normal.
Kara: Normal? The man I love, and thought was dead, is alive. And every night, I... I make up all these scenarios of how I would see him again. Now he's actually here, but guess what? He's married. Sorry, I shouldn't be complaning. I know you're still dealing with the pain of Maggie.
Alex: At least we have each other. And misery loves company.
Kara: God, that's depressing.

Mon: How's my girlfriend, guys, huh?
Kara: What?
Mon: Bank robbers, zero. Supergirl, two. What do you even need cops for in this city?
Alex: [Maggie is insulted] He's from a different planet. He doesn't even know what he's saying.
Maggie: No, he's right. Why bother trying to talk a guy down when Supergirl can just swoop in and force him down? Seventeen hours of "What do you want, how can I help you?", good old-fashioned hostage negotiation wasted.
Kara: You're not upset that I caught the bad guys and got everyone out safely, are you?

J'onn: I hit the Love totem with all the energy of the Courage totem. Do you think it still works?
Brainiac: It's not emitting any fifth-dimensional energy like it should be. And, you know, it turned black.
Kelly: If the Love totem is destroyed, does that mean all the love in the world is diminished?
Alex: You know, I-I don't think all the love in the world has been diminished. You want to know why, out of all the pockets in all of the world, that totem appeared in mine? It's because of how much love I feel for each one of you. And it doesn't go away just because that thing turned black. It's still here. And I know it because I can feel it. It's... it's the truest love. Kelly...
[beckoning her forward and taking her hands]
Alex: Earlier today, I was... I was so anxious because I convinced myself that if you and I didn't have the perfect proposal that our future would be doomed. And thinking about that, that sounds absolutely ridiculous. And from the moment that we met... you and I have been surrounded by chaos. From blackouts to black holes. We fought monsters. I mean, God, we even loved each other through the end of the universe. And not even that could tear us apart. Kelly Olsen...
[getting down on one knee]
Alex: I love you with every fiber of my being. You are the person that I want to watch "Die Hard" with for the rest of my life. Will you marry me?
Kelly: Yes. Yes. Of course, yes.

Kara: Jeremiah was with Cadmus for a long time. And we have never faced an enemy more dangerous, so we owe it to ourselves to look at every angle. Even if it makes us uncomfortable.
Alex: You sound just like him.
Kara: Like who?
Alex: Mon-El. I... I realize you're in your honeymoon phase, but really, Kara? I mean, you don't have to take every stance that he takes.
Kara: I'm not. And this is not about Mon-El. This is about the truth, and the truth is that Jeremiah breaking into the DEO computer system is... it's weird.
Alex: He missed out on over a decade as our father. I don't blame him for wanting to catch up however he can.
Kara: Then why not just ask us? We're right here. He spent an hour with J'onn. Why does he have to wait 'till he's alone to access the system?
Alex: You really don't trust him, do you?
Kara: No, I don't trust Cadmus. And I will do what I have to to protect us.
Alex: Well, then I guess you've chosen your side.
Kara: This is not about sides.
Alex: No, it is. 'Cause you're either part of the family or you're not.
Kara: You don't mean that.
Alex: He's my father.
Kara: He's mine, too.
Alex: Then act like it!

Lena: I'm coming with you.
Supergirl: Not a chance. It might not even be possible.
Brainiac: Oh, no, it's possible.
Lena: Listen, I spent the last month working with Sam and Reign, every day. I know what makes them tick. I know their DNA sequence better than my own phone number. What's more, I know Sam, and you don't. If anyone can get through to her, it's me. I get that you may not trust me right now, but trust that I want to get Sam back.
Alex: Sam's my friend, too. And with the sun darkening, your powers are gonna weaken. You might not have any powers in that valley/mind realm thing. You're gonna need somebody to watch your backs.
Supergirl: Well, I guess we're all in this together.

Alex: No. No, no, no. No. Hey.
[as she listens for a heartbeat, Red Daughter watches from the sky]
Alex: No. You can't go now. I remember... everything. Kara, we're here, we're here. We're here together. And I-I know... and I know you. I know you better than anybody knows you. And I know that you don't quit. So you can't go now!
[crying]
Alex: Kara, you can't go!

Alex: Supergirl, there's an armed sniper at the toy convention.
Kara: I'm already there.
Alex: Great. We're almost there.
Kara: I'll look for him.

Dreamer: Kara's been in the Phantom Zone this whole time. What if she can't tell what's real anymore? I mean, when she sees a giant spaceship version of the Tower flying, won't she just assume it's another delusion?
Kelly: If so, she'll need a touchstone. A deeply personal memory or connection to bring her back to herself.
J'onn: I could do that. Once we land on the right fragment of the Phantom Zone, I'll go out and get Supergirl alone.
Alex: Wait, what? No. No, I'm her sister.
J'onn: The fewer of us exposed to the Phantoms, the better. We'll need your leadership here defending the Tower. While I find Supergirl, you'll be the one making sure she has a way home.

Kelly: I should have run Joey's concerns about Orlando through the proper channels. I only made things worse for everyone.
Alex: It was because of you wanting to help Joey that we found out about Orlando and the others being exploited, which then led us to finding out about the bomb.
Kelly: The system is stacked against them, and I don't know why I thought I could do anything about it.
Alex: The Kelly Olsen that I know and that I love, she never gives up.
Kelly: When we rescued Kara from the Phantom Zone, do you remember when you asked me if I was sure if I wanted to go?
Alex: Yeah, I remember.
Kelly: I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to help. So, my fear vision, I was attacked by Phantom versions of you and the others. Telling me that I would never... be able to compete with everyone's powers and intellect. That I was weak. Maybe it was right.
Alex: I don't believe that.
Kelly: You have to say that, you're my girlfriend.
Alex: No, I don't. So... tell me how the fear vision ended.
Kelly: I, um... I realized that even if I couldn't fight your Phantom selves, maybe I could protect you instead. So I found a piece of shrapnel. It reminded me of Jimmy's Guardian shield.
Alex: Hmm.
Kelly: And I used it to get between all of you and the prime Phantom. And, yeah, it worked. I brought you back.
Alex: Well, of course you did. Because you are strong, and you are smart, and you are powerful. Hey, we all have doubts, but it's when you thought that you could protect me, you took a risk. And it's only when we take risks that we can really find out who we're meant to be. And Joey... is very lucky to have you in his corner, because you are a protector. And you'll always be there for him.

J'onn: On a clear day, you can see the moons of Mars from here. Today's not a clear day.
Alex: I found out what you've done, J'onn. You lied to all of us. You put us in jeopardy so that you could protect yourself. Keep your secret safe. That you mind-wiped the existence of your own brother...
J'onn: Alex, I wanted to tell you, but I was so... I was so ashamed.
Alex: I confided in you how this was tearing me apart. How I thought that I was the one putting Kelly in danger, and you just stood there, knowing that it wasn't my fault. That it was yours. You had me convinced that Malefic was the monster, but he wasn't just some bad guy coming after people. He was some bad guy that you created coming after your family, and again you just stood there, and you let us suffer the consequences.
J'onn: I know.
Alex: You may say that you erased Malefic to protect your family, to protect M'yrnn. Or you did it because it was easier than helping him.
J'onn: No. No, no.
Alex: Malefic isn't the monster here, J'onn. You are.

Colonel: All right, team. I need your heads up and low profile. We don't want a riot. Now, if you see Jensen, skin-to-skin contact can be fatal, so do not engage. You leave that to Director Danvers.
Alex: Ready, Colonel?
Colonel: Activate the dome.
Querl: Enter the matrix.
Alex: All right, boys, let's find him.

Nia: No, Hannibal Lecter. He eats people.
Querl: Miranda Priestly.
Nia: Miranda Priestly? Are you serious?
Querl: I'm as serious as the pursed lips of Miranda Priestly.
Nia: [seeing Alex and Kara] Okay, good, you guys can help me prove a point. Who is the greatest movie villain of all time?
Kara: [answering simultaneously] Voldemort.
Alex: Hans Gruber.
Nia: Impressively unhelpful. Well, I guess you'll just have to accept that I'm right.
Querl: Hmm. This Earth custom that the girlfriend is always right is illogical and-and frustrating, but I can assimilate.

Alex: [recuperating in sickbay at the DEO] Kelly. What are you doing here?
Kelly: Brainy texted Nia that you were both involved in an explosion. So I rushed over.
Alex: Really, you have... you have nothing... you have nothing to worry about. No, no. No, don't do that. Don't... don't cry. Because if you cry, then I'm gonna cry, and you know I really hate crying at work.

DEO: [watching President Marsdin's announcement of her resignation] She's a traitor. She belongs in one of our cages.
DEO: Not revealing her identity doesn't make her a criminal.
DEO: Yeah, it does. She's hijacked our democracy. She can't be trusted.
Alex: [entering] Hey! Knock it off. This is a workplace. If you wanna discuss politics, then do it on your own time. Our mission here is to defend all citizens; that is human and aliens alike. Now get back to your stations.

Lena: How can you choose to save anyone else over your own sister?
Alex: Because if I don't, countless lives will be lost. Kara would always choose saving others; that's just who she is. And how do you think she would feel if we rescued her and she found out that we let thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands of people die just so we could have her back? Supergirl relies on... on those that she loves to follow her example. So please don't make this any harder than it already is. Give me the device.
Lena: Alex, I hear what you're saying, but... I have to bring Kara back. You see, it's my fault. It was my brother who sent her to the Phantom Zone, it was my experiments that empowered him. It was my war with Supergirl that started all of this. So if this is my only chance to make it right, then I have to do it.
Alex: Okay, Lena, listen to me. Nobody blames you for this. Kara doesn't blame you for this. You two already forgave each other for everything that happened in the past, so it's time for you to forgive yourself. And all that really matters is that you do the right thing today. So please give me the tracking device.
[using her Martian wristband to summon it]
Alex: I'm sorry, but I can't take no for an answer.

Alex: [seeing the condition Kara is in] Oh, no, no. We need to get to a clean room, stat.
Querl: It won't do any good. The entire atmosphere was irradiated in an instant. Nowhere is safe.
Alex: We have to do something.
J'onn: Yellow sun radiation should help.
Alex: Yeah, okay, let's do it.

Kara: [after asking to keep their relationship quiet, Mon-El has loudly announced it to the DEO] Can we just, uh, pretend like that never happened?
J'onn: I'd like nothing more, but unfortunately, as your supervisor, I have to ask you to report to HR.
Kara: [she laughs, but then sees his expression] You're serious?
J'onn: Kara, you're dating a co-worker.
Kara: That's not... wait, we have an HR?
J'onn: Walk this puppy down to the second floor and fill out all the forms Pam gives you, in triplicate.
Alex: Oh, and you're gonna have to attend a mandatory sexual harassment seminar.
Kara: Seriously?
Mon: It's gonna be a rough sparring session for me.
Kara: You think?
Mon: [awkwardly turning to leave] Okay. I'm gonna warm up.

Alex: I'm not going. And you can spare me the big accusing eyes, Kara. I'm not changing my mind.
Kara: Excuse me. Um... Alex, I don't understand. You were with me last night when we made the arrangements.
Alex: I never said that I was participating.
Kara: I... I-I know you're in pain.
Alex: I'm not in pain.
Kara: Of course you are.
Alex: Okay, stop telling me how I feel.
Kara: Okay, then you tell me how you feel. Tell me why you're refusing to go to your father's funeral.
Alex: Because I don't feel the need to bury a man who has been dead to me for years.

Alex: The atmosphere was just seeded with kryptonite.
J'onn: What?
Alex: Look, I'm not sure how it happened, but Supergirl was flying back from D.C., and now I can't get her on her comms. But she's way out in the atmosphere, J'onn, and the last known signal from her was in Nevada.
J'onn: I'm on it.

Supergirl: You're right. We have been through a lot together. Like that time when you promised you wouldn't leave the DEO, and instead you ran off, you got wasted. You were reckless, selfish, you lied, and you didn't apologize.
Mon: Kara, I...
Supergirl: And then there was the time I got you a job at CatCo. I vouched for you at my place of employment. And then you had Eve do all of your work for you, and then you screwed her in the closet. You didn't apologize for that. And, shocker, I apologized to you for trying to make you into a better person.
Mon: I hear you. I get it.
Supergirl: No, I don't think you do get it. I don't think you get that I gave my heart to a lying jackass, who was unaware of his behavior towards me, who disrespected me at every turn, and now is this reformed person who, what, he wants to reminisce about the good times?
Alex: [entering, with one of Winn's psychic inhibitors] Kara, put this on.

Alex: You're trying to kill me.
Ron: [scoffing laugh] Are you kidding?
Alex: You tried to shoot me this morning at the park.
Ron: At the park? Heh, man. Are you still seventeen?
Alex: You don't even care about the countless kids that you could've hurt trying to get to me. Then again, what's one more dead kid to you, right?

Alex: Look, I know. I know it's silly, but after so many Valentine's Days alone, I was just finally excited to be in a relationship where we could celebrate all the cheesy stuff couples celebrate.
Kara: That's not silly at all. I'm sure she doesn't really hate Valentine's Day.
Alex: She called it a manufactured holiday for patsies.
Kara: Okay... okay, so the trimmings aren't her style, but you can celebrate your own way. What kind of stuff does she like?
Alex: I don't know. Guns?
Kara: [not sure how to respond] Anything... else?
Alex: Well, she loves Scotch. You know, that's, um...
Kara: Good.
Kara: And, um... oh, she loves tiarmisu. I mean, could eat for every meal, literally. It's like her happy food. And she loves bonsai trees, which I know is totally random, but, I-I mean, I find it adorable.
Kara: That's all great. So why don't you create a tailor-made Maggie Valentine's Day? And you can re-invent the holiday for the both of you.

Kara: Alex, you remember, um... James Olsen, my friend from work.
Alex: Yeah.
James: [quietly] How's the covert alien hunting business?
Alex: Not as covert as we would prefer.
Kara: I didn't tell him.
James: Look, it's okay. I can be trusted with a big secret.
Alex: Well, I hope you'll extend the same courtesy to my sister.
James: Always.

Alex: Hey, Brainy. What the hell happened? Malefic should not have been able to phase through the Phantom Zone projector. And our psychic inhibitors, he... he fried them.
Querl: Malefic's brain is unlike any other Green Martian. I tried to calibrate both to his unique physiology, but...
Alex: That was our one shot at tricking him. He could be after the real Kelly, my Kelly, right now.
Supergirl: We're not gonna let that happen. There's gotta be another way we can track him. Something we're missing. What did he yell at you, J'onn? Synd'ar'k?
J'onn: I... I don't know. It's a... it's a dialect I've not heard before.
[obviously lying]
Alex: We can't afford any more mishaps. I'm having the Verdex Blaster brought up from the armoury.
Supergirl: What?
J'onn: Alex! That Verdex Blaster was designed by Hank Henshaw to kill Green Martians. Specifically me! It's a last resort!
Alex: Hank Henshaw was wrong about you, but Malefic is exactly the kind of Martian that this blaster was designed for.
Supergirl: Hang on, wait, wait, wait! Let's not rush in, uh, because if we had had the Verdex Blaster, Malefic could have incepted one of us to use it on J'onn. Let's at least have Brainy try and fix it first.

Alex: [witnessing a conversation between Kara and Mon-El] Well, that looked serious.
Kara: He told he liked me the other day.
Alex: [sarcastic] I am so shocked.
Kara: Was it that obvious?
Alex: Duh.
Kara: Ugh. Well, I don't like him, and I had to tell him, and... I just shoved both feet into my mouth.
Alex: I'm sure it wasn't that bad.
Kara: [wincing] It was, though. It really, really was.

Querl: I just received an alert from the DEO. Midnight is fully charged and on the move.
Alex: Where is she?
Querl: Here.

Esme: This is really my room?
Alex: Yes, and, um, and we hope you like it. But, you know, if-if-if you don't, we-we can... we can change anything, or we can change everything. You know, if there's a game that you don't like, we'll just ditch it. You don't like the bedspread? Totally fine. The-the desk and...
Kara: Alex.
Alex: ...the rocket ship, if there's...
Kara: Alex, I think she's got it.
Alex: Of course she does. Um, Esme... this right here is my sister Kara.
Kara: Hi, Esme. It's very nice to meet you. You know, I was adopted, too, by Alex's mom and dad. And look, I actually brought you the things they got me to make me feel more at home when they took me in. Do you like stuffed animals?
Esme: [nodding, she takes a stuffed zebra from her backpack] I already have one. Her name is Lovey.
Alex: Well, our home is Lovey's home, too. Very cute.
Kelly: And this is J'onn. He's been like a dad to Alex since forever.
J'onn: Hi.
Esme: It's very nice to meet you, J'onn.
J'onn: It's wonderful to meet you, too, Esme. Um, would you like me to help you find a spot for your Lovey?
Esme: I think I can find a place for her myself.

Killer: I thought you were dating that dweeb in I.T. Not impressed, by the way.
Alex: Okay, it was a couple of dates, and now he's dating Pam in H.R.
Killer: Hoo! Boy's got a type. Also, not impressed. You need to leave this place. You've got to get a life.
Alex: Look, I love what I do. The work is important.
Killer: Well, now you sound like the big guy. And you and I both know I don't mean that as a compliment. Look, I am sure the work we do for the city's great, but half of what we do around here is really just to prop his ego up. Truth, justice, and the American way? More like "Me, myself, and I."
Alex: [quietly] Yeah.
Killer: All work and no play doesn't just make a girl dull, it turns her heart to ice. And trust me, that ain't fun.
Alex: I appreciate the offer, but I'm gonna stay just the same.
Killer: Suit yourself.

Kara: Are these baked goods?
William: Yes. Scones, sticky toffee pudding, and banoffee pie, all my mother's favorite recipes for comfort food. I... I hope it helps.
Kara: [trying to contain her excitement] Oh, my god!
Alex: You made all of this?
William: Well, I didn't want to show up empty-handed coming here, asking for help... with a story on Lex Luthor and Obsidian.

Alex: Agent Jensen! There's no way out of here for you.
Jensen: Shoot me.
Alex: If I shoot you, Raymond, then everybody in here dies, including you. And I know you don't want that.

Lena: Hey, I know you. You saved my life.
Alex: Yeah. Special Agent Alex Danvers, FBI.
Kara: She's my sister.
Lena: Oh. This city's smaller than I thought.

Alex: When I left my fiancée, I, uh... it's hard to even say that. I felt like I would never heal. But then I did. And then, this... whole experience just feels like that wound just got ripped right back open again. And this time, I don't... I don't know if I can survive that.
Kelly: Wounds heal.
Alex: Into scars.
Kelly: That fade in time. Some people leave indelible marks, and you get to wear them like a badge of honor of what you learn from the experience.
Alex: Yeah? What did your scars teach you?
Kelly: That there are always second chances. If you're brave enough to take the leap.
Alex: That's easier said than done.

Alex: What are you doing here? Your interview's in, like, less than an hour.
Supergirl: I know. But that riot broke out last night because people are furious at being trapped inside with the monster. And after I broke it up, I couldn't not search for it.
Alex: And?
Supergirl: Still nothing. Where are Brainy and Lena with the Dream portal?
Alex: Well, they figured out the interface, and they think activating it might function like a beacon, drawing the creature to it. The question is, will they be done before the Guard moves in?
Supergirl: Did Governor Pena say if she would grant an extension?
Alex: I haven't heard anything back yet.

J'onn: Alex, I, uh, hope we're not disturbing you.
Alex: No. No, no, no. There's always time for my two favorite people.
M'yrnn: I came because I wished to see you again, Alex. To say goodbye.
J'onn: [Alex glances at him] 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 showed me strange and wonderful things. You know, you have a rare gift for intuiting the feelings of others. You would've made an excellent Green Martian.
[Alex starts to cry]
M'yrnn: 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.
Alex: 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.
M'yrnn: There is no need for watering of the eyes, child. All of life is change. Doing the Reach allows me to live on forever, within my son. I am very, very fortunate.

Kara: Is that that Martian weapon J'onn gave you? What do you call it, the Hand of the Soldier?
Alex: Yeah.
Kara: How's training?
Alex: You wanna see?
Kara: [a little wary] Yeah.
Alex: [conjuring her gun] Right?
Kara: Mm-hmm.
Alex: [trying again, getting stung by electricity] Ow! God, this... this thing is supposed to know what I'm thinking, but it's being very stubborn.
Kara: Well, like soldier, like hand.
Alex: [flicking her wrist] Bzzt!
Kara: [recoiling] Ahh! Don't scare me!

Alex: Kara, you've had to pretend to be someone else for most of your life. But you don't have to hide with James. He knows your secret, and he likes you. Besides, what kind of idiot would choose Lucy Lane over Supergirl?

Alex: Well, she's a Kalanorian. No criminal record.
Kara: Then why'd she go all "Road House" on me? Demos says she wasn't provoked.
J'onn: Kalanorians are psychics. Empaths.
Alex: Well, maybe she got her signals crossed with another psychic?
J'onn: [his eyes turn red as he scans her] I'm not seeing any psionic anomalies.
Alex: Well, she tore that bar up.
J'onn: Her species are prone to outbursts during astronomical events.
Alex: Such as?
J'onn: Mercury's in retrograde.
Alex: Wait, what?
Kara: Like astrology?
J'onn: More like complex luminal and gravatic shifts that detrmine Kalanorian brain function, but sure, astrology. Put her containment. We have these Worldkillers to focus on.

Alex: You stood in front of a car to save your friend Vinita because you love your friend. And you know that Supergirl wants to help you. You can fight this, because you... you are stronger than you think. I know that you can hear me, Julia. I see you in there. And I am so sorry that I didn't see it before. But I swear to God, I am gonna help you beat this. We... we all will. But you have to fight.

Winn: [about his black eye] This? I wasn't mugged. All right? I was trying to help Guardian, and I... if he had shown up two seconds later, I would be...
Alex: Hey. Kara needs you. Okay? I need you.
Winn: I am *scared*.
Alex: You don't think I was afraid the first time I went out in the field? Dude, I was terrified. But nobody gets better by running away.

Alex: So, where's Mon-El? I mean, doesn't he practically live in this place?
Kara: Oh, knowing him? He's probably at Darla's apartment or Eve's apartment or with that blond Valeronian. What's the word for a male floozy?
Alex: A Daxamite.
Kara: Ha!
[toasts with beer bottle]
Kara: Well, at least he's having fun on Earth.

Alex: If only there was a way to use Prime to make a new tracking device. I mean, i-if he was part-human like the progeny.
J'onn: I tried searching his mind, trying to convince him to look for Kara, but all I could sense was thirst and misery. He has no humanity, only instinct.
Lena: [getting an idea] Instinct. The... t-the Phantom, he-he tracks by instinct. He's a bloodhound.
Brainiac: If we can get our hands on more of Kara's DNA...
Lena: Then he'll track her by instinct.
Alex: It's a good idea, but the hologram crystal is broken. How are we gonna get more of Kara's DNA?
M'gann: We can collect DNA from a Kryptonian after a solar flare.
Lena: Or kryptonite poisoning.
J'onn: Alex, can you remember all the times Kara blew her powers out?
Alex: It's only happened a handful of times. Uh, uh... once was in a fight with Red Tornado, and then another was all the way back in high school.
Brainiac: Back in Midvale?
Alex: Y-Yeah.
Brainiac: Nia.
Nia: Cassandra, this is what my dreams have been about. If we want to bring Kara home, we have to go back in time... to Midvale High. I just hope we're not too late.

Supergirl: You were about to tell me your name. I'd really like to hear what you have to say.
Purity: I am Purity.
Supergirl: Nice to meet you, Purity. I'm gonna call you Julia, though. Is that okay? Just, I met her first, and she's who I'd really like to talk to, actually.
Purity: Hmm. Call me what you will, Kryptonian. They don't understand yet.
[to Alex]
Purity: You do.
Alex: Me? Yeah. Yeah, I do. I understand it just fine.
[to Kara]
Alex: May I?
Supergirl: Alex...
Alex: See, I know that look. You think that you're smarter than me, that you're stronger than me, which is fine. I mean, you're entitled to your own opinion. It'll change in time, though. Because after days, weeks, months in here, you're gonna feel like I peeled your skin off and saw everything underneath. You can call me "Agent Danvers", Purity.

Supergirl: I just got your signal.
Alex: Where are Eve and the others?
Kelly: William took her and her mom to CatCo. She agreed to go on the record, tell him everything she knows about Lex.
Alex: Well, that's amazing, but does William really think any article about Lex is gonna help right now? How is that possible? Everybody thinks Lex is a hero.
Lena: I think it's worse than that. The program I was developing was supposed to expand the human mind, to do no harm. It was on the Obsidian platform, but I think... I think Lex reworked it. Rewiring the human mind so that they adored Lex when they were in the Unity Festival.
J'onn: That's half the world's population.
M'gann: What about the other half?
Lena: Eve told me about an experiment that Lex did on two mice. One had gold eyes and it adored him, and the other... Lex emitted some radiation from a Q-wave antenna onto it and it exploded.
Kelly: I saw people's eyes flash gold when they were coming out of the VR.
Supergirl: That's why he launched those satellites during his world tour.

Alex: Jensen, hey, I'm just checking in for an update on Mercy and Otis.
[no answer]
Alex: Agent Jensen, are you there?
[no answer again]
Alex: Uh, pull up the camera on the containment cell.
Querl: [doing so] Otis seems anxious. He's been pacing around in that cell for the past hour.
Alex: [noticing something] Wait. Wait a minute. Look at that. That's a stutter step. He's not tripping. That... that's a glitch.
Querl: The security feed's been breached. It's a hologram.

J'onn: So, Reign is after Ruby and she started with Lena.
Alex: Where else might she look?
Lena: Sam's mother, Patricia, she's got a farm outside the city.
J'onn: Supergirl and I will go get Patricia to safety and then wait for Reign to attack. Anything you've discovered while studying Reign that you think we should add to our arsenal?
Lena: Electricity. It was how I was able to wake Reign up and force her back down.
Winn: Ooh, I can retrofit something.

Lena: It took some work, but it's finished. With this, we will be able to find Kara in the Phantom Zone. We'll finally be able to bring her home.
Alex: Not today. Look, in less than an hour, the Crysalis will harden over, trapping all of those souls inside of it forever. Plus, more people are getting infected by Phantoms every minute. It's spreading like a plague. Now, I know how hard you worked on making a device that can track Kara. But now we need to recalibrate it so that we can find the Crysalis instead.
Lena: But if we recalibrate it, we'll overwrite Kara's DNA. We'll lose our only chance to save her.
Alex: We'll find another way. There's always another way. She taught us that.

Kelly: Hey, thank you for being here. It means a lot.
Alex: Oh, there's no place I would rather be.
Querl: There is an 86.7% chance that your core trauma has something to do with Lex Luthor. So we shall start by exploring that region. Are we all ready to begin?
[everybody nods]
Querl: Good.

Colonel: Two more victims were just discovered. They lived in a mansion a mile from where that pod landed. Same exact cause of death. We need to find whatever killed these people before we have a panic on our hands.
Querl: If my interpretation of the data is correct, this is what we're looking for.
Colonel: [seeing his rendering of the alien] What is it?
Querl: Unknown.
Colonel: I've updated the president. He wants this kept out of the press. Humans are already feeling so vulnerable.
Alex: We'll do whatever we can.

Ruby: What's wrong? Who needs your help, my mom?
Alex: [dodging] Uh, no. No, no one. Hey, why don't we go watch a movie? Ms. Queller told me that they have "Young Frankenstein", which just so happens to be one of my all-time favorite movies.
Ruby: Stop lying to me!
Alex: Ruby, I'm not lying, okay? That call wasn't even about your mom. She's fine. So let's watch a movie. Right? I'm gonna go talk to Ms. Queller, and she'll hook us up with popcorn and ice-cold soda and Gene Wilder. I mean, come on, this is gonna be amazing. You just hang tight. I'll be right back.

Supergirl: What happened?
Alex: You saved the world. And then I saved you with your pod. You're not the only bad-ass in the family.

Kara: Okay, start with this. And then I'll try to talk you out of tequila.
Alex: Hmm. There's a bold move.

Kara: Brainy, Nia, and I are in Collinwood, where we ran into a bunch of Children of Liberty.
Alex: Are you okay?
[realizing the stupidity of the question]
Alex: Well, of course you're okay.
Kara: They took us to this factory, and it has weapons and supplies; war room stuff. But guess who the factory belonged to first. Ben Lockwood.
Alex: What?
Kara: Do you think there's a chance he might be Agent Liberty?
Alex: [glancing at an image of Liberty on a monitor] Well, let's find out.

Brainiac: There's no sign of either Nxyly or Lex's energy signatures.
Kelly: This is bad.
Alex: [Kara gets off the elevator] Hey, how are you feeling?
Supergirl: [hugging] I'll be fine once we find Lex and Nxyly. Where's Nia?
Alex: She's trying to dream up their location.
Kelly: How did they even meet?
J'onn: We've been monitoring LuthorCorp's chatter in the underworld on Lex's activities. Nothing popped. We thought he was laying low.
Brainiac: He was. Just... just not in this century. The explosion Lex used, that tech is from the 31st century. And now Lex has his hands on it.
Alex: Wait, are you saying Lex went to the future?
Supergirl: All that matters is that two of the worst villains we have ever faced are now working together, and we need something big to stop them.
Brainiac: We do have two weapons we haven't considered using yet. The totems. We use our totems to take Lex and Nxyly's courage. Or give them humanity.
Alex: So if we do it the reverse, then it could take our humanity.
J'onn: Alex is right. The totems' consequences are too unpredictable.
Supergirl: I agree. It's... it's too risky. And-And we always said we were going to protect the totems.
J'onn: Maybe there's a way we can use the totems' energy, but not as a weapon. At the Hague, Nxyly used the Courage totem as a shield. Is there a way we can replicate that?
Brainiac: I can make a prototype. But we'll have to activate the totems to see if it'll work.
Supergirl: J'onn and I can do that. Brainy, you get working on that shield. Alex, Kelly, you two are on patrol. If Lex and Nxyly are working together, this city is the most vulnerable it's ever been.

Toyman: Hello, National City! Well, by now you might've heard that my splashy show at ToyCon caused, well, a little bit of ruckus.
Alex: J'onn, can you track his location?
J'onn: He's blocked his IP address and signal.
Winn: Whatever technology he's using, it's something that I've never seen before.
Toyman: And I have got a bigger bang in mind. Now, tell me. Have you ever been so unfairly wronged that it just made you wanna... burn it all down? Well, I have. And I'm angry. Someone hurt my family, and they destroyed my father's good name.
Alex: Look at that. People are supporting him.
Kara: He's collecting followers.
Toyman: So, I have the target, I have the method, and what I need now... is you. Give me the will. Like me, subscribe, share, follow me, and once I reach
[imitating Dr. Evil, complete with the pinky finger to the corner of his mouth]
Toyman: one million followers, you will see a fireworks display like never before. So, let's play to win! Huh? Until next time. I am #Toyman.
Winn: [seeing his holographic family photo turn into a wanted poster] Uh, guys? If he wins, I'm dead.

Kelly: [bandaging a cut on Alex's arm] Here you go. You may have a scar. But, I mean, I'm into it.
Alex: I know you are. I am really, really grateful that you showed up tonight, but you really didn't have to.
Kelly: Just because you didn't call me for help doesn't mean I won't be there.
Alex: Well, I just, you know... I know how important today's work was for you and I didn't wanna take you from that. And honestly, I really felt like I could take on a lightning storm all by myself. Yes. Magic totems, they... they are a bitch.

Alex: Based on the amount of power she's consumed, there's a very real chance that she's gonna be strong enough...
Supergirl: She can hurt me, I know.
Alex: Kara, she can kill you.
Supergirl: I'll see you soon.
[goes off]

Supergirl: [as Hank leaves] Nice. I'd have no idea you suspect him of anything.
Alex: I have to play it that way until I find out whether or not he was involved in Dad's death.
Supergirl: Do you really think he's involved? You've served with Hank for years.
Alex: In all that time, he's never told me Dad was an agent for the DEO. Or that they were together when Dad died. E...
[pauses as lab technician walks past]
Alex: Everything Hank has said to me has been a lie. I can't trust him anymore. Kara, I know he's hiding something.

Alex: Look, I really appreciate being taken care of. I'm so used to doing all this by myself. But being with you, it... it feels like home.
[seeing Kelly's face]
Alex: What's wrong?
Kelly: When Nia texted me that you were hurt, my stomach dropped, and I checked my phone for a text, and there was nothing there, so I assumed the worst. Because I've been through the worst, and this isn't the first time that I've been terrified. Last week, I thought that I was gonna lose you. But then you got me that helmet, and you were so wonderful and so excited. And so I pushed past my fears, and I convinced myself that I can handle it all.
[her voice starts to break]
Kelly: But I'm not that strong. And I would never ask you to change, or ask you to deny the amazing and brave woman that you are.
Alex: Kelly, what... what are you saying?
Kelly: I... I can't.
Querl: [entering] Leviathan. I... I think I have their location. We must leave immediately.

Alex: Hey, did you find Lena? What was she doing in Lex's bunker?
Supergirl: Brainy, can you get some line of communication to a bunker three miles below the Norquay mountain range?
Querl: Yes, but depending on the processing power...
Alex: Okay, stop. Just tell me right now, when did Lex tell Lena your identity? And why was she attacking you in the Fortress? What the hell is going on?
Supergirl: It was after Shelley Island.
Alex: But Lex died there.
Supergirl: No, he didn't. He portaled somehow to a safe house, where... where Lena shot him. She killed him to protect me, to protect all of us. But before he died, he told her.
Alex: She's been lying to us for months. Okay, so why attack you now?
Supergirl: So she could steal Myriad from the Fortress.

Alex: [leaving game night for work] It's gonna be okay. There's nothing too end-the-world-y. It's just an alien brawl at NCU.

Maggie: Wow, you're breathtaking.
Alex: Maggie, what is all this?
Maggie: It's your belated Valentine's Day prom.
[offering a corsage]
Maggie: May I?

Supergirl: [after talking to the mayor] Did you see that mark on his hand?
Alex: Yeah, it must not be airborne.
J'onn: Alex, check and see if any other patients have similar marks. I'll check the visitor logs.

Mon: So, 1,000 years from now, this farming planet, Winath, goes dark. And our friend, Ayla, she's from there, so she goes to check it out.
Imra: Winath was a paradise, but Ayla made planet-fall and found it...
Mon: Decimated. It was completely dried out.
Imra: The creatures that did this, we call them the Blight. They consume everything in their path.
Mon: And Brainy found a way to stop them, but they were on us before we could use it.
Imra: So we hid the information in the safest place we could: our DNA. Where it can't be lost, can't be stolen. It's written in our genes.
Mon: So if we die, our DNA never makes it to the future. And everything's lost. You have no idea how badly I wish we could help.
Alex: Just make sure my sister wakes up.

Hank: Got a shot of the bomber from the security cameras at Max's lab. Facial recognition came up with a match. His name is Ethan Knox. Worked at the first lab that was attacked. He was fired six months ago when his work became erratic. His family reported him missing two weeks ago.
Supergirl: How do we find him?
Alex: We? No, a fall from that height would have rattled your cousin. You are staying home.
Supergirl: There is a literal mad bomber out there. And I have to get back to work. Oh, my god! Ms. Grant's son. I have to get back to the office. I'm supposed to be babysitting.
Alex: Kara. Maybe you're spreading yourself too thin. Okay? You're trying to be Supergirl and Cat's assistant and a DEO agent on top of it all. At some point, even the Girl of Steel might break.

Maxwell: Tell me, Agent Danvers, why are you wasting that brain kicking down doors for the government?
Alex: Why do you mistrust the government so much?
Maxwell: Hm. Answering with a question, keep the subject talking. Basic field agent procedure. And here I thought we had something special.
Alex: Okay, fine. I work for the government because I believe there's no higher calling than helping others.
Maxwell: I feel the same way. Only I do it without a gun. The world needs a new kind of hero.
Alex: I thought we just got one.
Maxwell: Supergirl's just a glorified fireman. She's not gonna solve the underlying problems that are actually destroying this planet.
Alex: You really don't trust anyone, do you?
Maxwell: Never met anyone worth trusting.
Alex: That is a very lonely way to live.
Maxwell: You have no idea.

Alex: I'm sure that Alura would be overjoyed to know that you're still alive.
Lena: Yes, you must be anxious to get back to Argo City.
Zor: I am, of course. But before I go, I'd like to see what my daughter's been up to here on Earth.
Supergirl: I think that can be arranged.

Kara: Tell me who you are and what you want, now.
[Mxy snaps his fingers, and on her TV, she sees the memory of their first encounter]
Mxyzptlk: I'm your one true love, your soul mate, your one true pairing, as the kids say. My name is Mxyzptlk, and I love you Kara, Zor-El.
Kara: Okay. If you...
[gasping as she sees him sitting Indian-style on her kitchen island]
Alex: Oh, come on.

Lena: We went to Kaznia and we found Lex's lab. He's been experimenting on aliens, trying to harness their powers. And a lot of these aliens seem to come from a DEO facility in the desert.
Querl: Find the missing aliens, find Lex.
Lena: But whatever we do, we better do it fast. Lex is planning on invading America.
Querl: What?
Alex: You should've led with that.
Lena: Well, then you're gonna love this. Lex has a clone of Supergirl.
Alex: What?
Querl: You should've led with *that*.

Mxyzptlk: But now I can't use any of my powers except to help those whom I have wronged.
Alex: Oh, how sad for you.
Alex: Yes. A tragedy of Shakespearean proportions.

Kara: [after bumping into a glassy-eyed patron at restaurant] What is going on with these people? They're completely oblivious.
J'onn: By their silver eyes, I would say that they were Slattorians. A race of aliens I came across during an investigation.
Alex: Oh, your P.I. powers of deduction are failing you, J'onn J'onzz. The silver eyes are courtesy of Obsidian North.
J'onn: Isn't that the company you're working for, Kelly?
Kelly: Today is my official first day. Those are augmented reality contact lenses that we're beta testing. The people with the silver eyes that are staring at the void above the cashier? They're actually looking at a virtual menu. I'll show you.
[showing them her tablet]
Kelly: So, when you wear the contact lenses, you're linked to tons of people on a social media platform, and they can connect without saying a word.
Alex: [shyly] Kind of like you and me.
Kara: [comical tone] You guys are so cute. But those contact lenses creep me out. Just call me when you can register to vote with a gesture. 'Cause look, there's about to be a special election, and did you know that voter registration is down? People don't wanna pay attention to what's happening the real world.

Supergirl: I just want to make sure we're okay after... after earlier. I... I'm really sorry I overstepped.
Alex: I know you want what's best for Esme. And I'm sorry that I reacted so harshly. And that it was so hard for you as a kid. I j... I wish there was more that I could have done to make it easier.
Supergirl: You did so much to help me. You still do. Esme is really lucky to have you.
Alex: It's really important to me that she doesn't feel like an "other". I don't know what it's like to grow up as an alien, but I do know what it's like to not be living your truth. And I don't want that for her.
Supergirl: You're right. Esme deserves to be proud of every part of her identity. So do you. Especially the mom part. 'Cause you are a seriously good one.
Alex: And you're a seriously good sister.

Supergirl: [sighs] I might have ruined something
[covers herself with blanket as she settles in for Game of Thrones on TV]
Supergirl: and I don't know if I can fix it.
Alex: Did he ask you out or kiss you or something, and you freaked out?
Supergirl: What? How... did you...?
Alex: I'm an elite agent with an expertise in analyzing speech patterns and body language.
[Kara sighs]
Alex: I'm also a human being with eyes.

Onlooker: He's got a gun!
[Alex and Supergirl hurry over]
Onlooker: Up there! Up there!
Alex: Wait, that looks just like...
Supergirl: Winn! But... but how?
[seeing Toyman targeting Chester]
Supergirl: Oh, no.
Alex: [as Toyman fires, the bullet is knocked off trajectory] What?
Supergirl: [seeing the Legion cruiser appear] Winn? What are you doing here?
Winn: Saving Chester Dunholtz and my future. Have you seen Toyman?
Supergirl: Uh...
Winn: The shooter! The guy wearing my face!
Supergirl: Uh...
[looking around, she sees his perch empty, then spots Toyman fleeing]
Supergirl: I've got him.

Alex: You followed your instincts. And I followed mine, so there's no apologies. Being a leader means doing what needs to get done and taking the consequences. So, we did the right thing.
Kara: Well, hell or high water, I've got your back.
Alex: Mm. Hell or high water.
Kara: [twisting around] Oh, speaking of, can you please scratch this one spot...
Alex: Oh, absolutely not.
Kara: I was in a full body cast.
Alex: I know.
Kara: [trying to scratch the itch] I can't... it's really bothering me.
Alex: No.
Kara: It's... ow!

Eliza: Alex.
Alex: It's okay. Mom, she's... she's okay. She's gonna be fine. It's just dark, so there's no sunlight, but there's... there's sunlight in everything. There's sunlight in the grass.
[putting blades of grass in Kara's hand]
Alex: So, Kara, just take it. Take the grass! Please. Kara, no.
[crying]
Alex: Please don't leave me.
Eliza: [watching the energy] Alex, she's doing it. She's pulling the sunlight.
Alex: [Kara gasps and wakes up] I'm here. I'm here.
Supergirl: I've missed you so much.
Alex: I really missed you.

DEO: Director, there's a letter. It's from Lex Luthor.
Alex: Stay with her.
[opening and reading the letter]
Alex: "Dear Lena. I wish I could say it wasn't personal planting a spy, stealing your research, but it is." Lex was working with Eve Tessmacher. Oh, my god.
DEO: She's coming to.

Alex: Okay, I come bearing gifts.
[handing out children's drawings]
Alex: This is for you. This is for you. And of course, last but not least, Supergirl.
Supergirl: Oh, my gosh. My niece is one heck of an artist.
J'onn: I think you mean my granddaughter.

Alex: Your mom is alive?
Kara: It doesn't feel real. But it is. I saw her, I listened to her voice, I touched her, I hugged her. My mom has been alive all these years, living in the city where I grew up. A lot of it's destroyed, but most of it's been rebuilt, and it's exactly the same. Like, I never thought that I would smell a Dar-Essa flower again, but look, there are dozens of them.
Alex: I can't imagine what that felt like.
Kara: It just felt like home.
Alex: [understanding] So you want to go back.

Alex: The president is in. He's speaking with other world leaders. We'll coordinate the effort from National City. But, J'onn... even if we did manage to get enough ships for everyone, we can't just fly off Earth. I mean, space itself is being erased.
J'onn: Earth-1 is the last stop on the anti-matter trajectory. We can try and get everybody there.
Alex: Well, one little extrapolator is not gonna do the job.
J'onn: The transmatter portal?
Alex: Who could build one big enough? I mean, not even Brainy has.
J'onn: Lena. She built an enormous one for the Daxamites. I'm sure she could build one twice as big.
Alex: No, that's too big of a risk. I mean, after Myriad, after everything... she can't be trusted.
J'onn: What other choice do we have?

Alex: It's like the creature extracted his heart perfectly. There's minimal tissue damage. There's no blood loss. It's like it cauterized itself.
Querl: A sophisticated killing. Much like its ship, which presented as solid rock. Also, what's interesting is this creature's shed skin suggests that it underwent some sort of metamorphosis quickly after arrival, which I do find comforting. I would much rather face that anything snake-like, which I do have a deep phobia about. As any rational being would.
Alex: You hate snakes?
Querl: Yes. Much like the hero of the Spielberg epic "Raiders of the Lost Ark". A terrific picture.

Alex: I wish I had your healing powers.
Supergirl: You took down that Hellgrammite with no help from me.
Alex: Yeah, well, you were a little busy. I can't even imagine what you must be feeling right now. I mean, after all this time... finding out you still have family.
Supergirl: You're my family. My aunt, we have to stop her. I have to be ready for her next time. Show me how to fight. Train me to be as good as you.
Alex: I'll make you even better.

Alex: I'm sorry I disobeyed your orders, J'onn. But you shouldn't have done what you did. That was cruel.
J'onn: I did it because I thought you might be reckless and get yourself hurt. But then I almost lost you in that ship anyway. I was wrong, Alex. And I'm, uh... I'm sorry. Please know I... I only did it to protect you. I never meant to hurt you.
Alex: [meaning Jeremiah] You sound just like him.
[she gives him a supportive hug]
Alex: Can we just agree to stop doing the wrong things for the right reasons?
J'onn: Yeah. Sounds like a plan.

Alex: Well, I haven't seen you this tense since... well, since the last time the fate of the world rested on our shoulders.
J'onn: Redirecting those satellites isn't as simple as melding minds. To engage on that level requires complete openness. M'gann will see everything about me. Memories of my daughter, my wife... every violent thought I've ever had... about White Martians... she will know things about me that I would never choose to share. What if... subconsciously, my apprehensions derail us? We might not be able to take those satellites offline, I could... kill both of us.
Alex: J'onn, you have been through so much in your life. War, loss, and love. You've had to face some hard truths. But so has M'gann. You know, I... I know it's easier said than done, but at the end of the day, all you can really do is trust. And who knows, engaging like this, being this open with M'gann, it could lead to something really beautiful.

Samantha: When Ruby was first born, the nurse handed her to me in the hospital, and she wrapped her tiny hand around my finger, and I just stared at her in awe. And I swore that I would always protect her, no matter what. So, my greatest fear... is that something will happen to me and I won't be around to protect her. All Ruby has is me. So if I'm not here... if I'm not around, then what will happen to her? I'm *scared*.
Kara: But we're your family. And we're Ruby's family, too.
Lena: And that little girl has got the fiercest mama on the planet.
Alex: And you got to remember you're not alone.
Samantha: You have no idea what that means to me.
Kara: Well, good, because all we have to focus on now is getting you better.

Alex: Hey, you.
Maggie: Hey.
Alex: You okay?
Maggie: Am I okay? Are you kidding?

Carl: You wasted your ammo.
Alex: No I didn't. Here comes the sun.

Ruby: Okay, one, has Supergirl ever flown you anywhere? And two, if so, how was it? And three...
Alex: Yes. Yes, yes. She... she has flown me. Several times. And, actually, last year, she caught me when I jumped out of a skyscraper during a shoot-out.
Ruby: Okay, I have more questions.

Alex: You sure about this?
Supergirl: No, but Lena's right. She's been working with Sam for weeks. And having her with us will give us a chance to verify her story.

J'onn: Why did you fire on the divers in that submersible?
Mon: I didn't. I heard the ship's defense system activate, though. Is everyone okay?
Kara: Yeah, they got out in time.
J'onn: That's some ship you've got there. I've never seen anything like it.
Mon: It's, uh... it's... alien.
J'onn: Who's in the other chambers?
Mon: Just passengers.
Alex: Are they dangerous?
Mon: No. No, they're, um... they're like me.

Barry: This isn't the fortress of anything. This is the Time Vault.
Kara: [seeing the book] It's unlocked.
Barry: All right, well, how does one go about re-writing reality?
Kara: Well...
[she opens it, but is forced to close it again]
Alex: You must still be weak from the Pipeline.
Barry: Are you okay?
Kara: I don't know how Deegan did it.
Alex: Well, can I suggest that whatever it is you need to find out, we do far away from here.
Barry: Clark knew how to do it.
Kara: I'll get this to him.

Alex: I need to get to Ruby.
Lena: I told you, she's... she's in a safe place. And the less people that know about that, the safer the place will be.
Alex: I understand that, but she's probably afraid. Lena, please let me just get to her, just in case.
Lena: Where Ruby is, Reign will never find her. It's not on any maps. You can't see it from space. Nobody knows about it, except for me and my brother.
Supergirl: And how does Lex know about it?
Lena: Because it's his mansion.

Alex: Both the bomb and the drone used an advanced fiber optics relay system. It's not even on the market yet, and it was developed by Lord Technologies.
Hank: Let's pay Maxwell Lord a visit.
Supergirl: How? You can't just walk in as DEO agents.
Alex: We won't.
[holding up her badge, she presses a button and it turns into an FBI badge]
Supergirl: Okay, that is cool.

J'onn: When Lena first came to National City, to take over at L-Corp, Lex tried to have her assassinated. He failed, but she was seriously injured in the attack.
Alex: And she disappeared for two years. When she came back, everybody said that she was... different, that she had changed.
Kelly: The trauma, the loneliness... it drove her mad.
Winn: She retaliated against Lex, killed him. Took half of National City along with her. Now she rules what's left with an iron fist. Reign is her enforcer.
Dreamer: And Brainy, too. She captured him. Aligned him. Now he has no emotions, and does whatever Lena tells him to.
Supergirl: Oh, no. Oh, this, this... I have made a terrible mistake. This world is my responsibility.

President: Director Danvers, I have tolerated you while a proprietary device was stolen on your watch, while a rogue agent you recruited set enemies of the state free.
Alex: And I've done everything possible to lock down the situation.
President: And on top of that terrible sundae of incompetence, Supergirl goes on a fun suicide mission.
Alex: Supergirl is alive, and we are taking her back to the DEO.
President: Supergirl does not leave the DEO unless I give the order. Is that clear?
Alex: Yes, sir.
President: The country is already nervous. They think an alien in the White House has undermined our democracy. It's created a powder keg. Your job is to make the public feel safe, not more at risk. So handle this. Or so help me, I will have you...
[an aide behind him leans over and whispers in his ear]
President: [calmly] That will be all, Director.

Supergirl: [returing the Sun-Eater to the Fortress] That thing is much cuter when it's smaller.
Alex: Yeah, and not destroying the solar system.

Agent: Ma'am, there's a fire downtown. A fireman is trapped on the roof.
Hank: Punch it up.
[sees a fireman trapped under a steel beam]
Senator: Supergirl, can you get there in time?
[Supergirl is already gone]
Alex: Yeah, she can.

J'onn: Brainy, we've got five Prime Phantom progeny in containment. It's getting a little crowded down there.
Brainiac: I'll prepare another containment unit.
Alex: How many containment units does that make now? Is that four? Supergirl would have stopped this by now.

Alex: All right, I think I finally got the projector working. You ready?
[seeing Ruby acting fidgety]
Alex: You okay?
Ruby: Yeah.
Alex: [realizing she left her phone on the table] Ruby...

Alex: I mean, the world is completely upside down, Kelly. Lex Luthor is still out there and I'm the one who's supposed to catch him, and then there's martial law. I mean, I can't... how would I even get out on the street and get diapers?
Kelly: I will find you some diapers.
Alex: It's not about the diapers.
Kelly: I know it's not. But you have to take a beat and breathe and look at the issues one at a time.
Alex: What I really need is to be able to talk to my sister, and she's unreachable. She's in Kaznia.
Kelly: Okay. If Kara was here, what would she say?
Alex: Okay. If Kara was here, she would tell me... that this has always been my dream. And she would say that it's never gonna be the perfect time. And that despite villains on the loose and martial law, this is a gift, and it would be sacrilege not to accept it.
Kelly: Sounds like you have your answer.

Colonel: I've noticed you reorganized the strike team command and control system.
Alex: I did.
Colonel: 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 retasking two analysts...
Colonel: You cut out the middle man and reduced deployment time to 60 seconds, which could be the difference between life and death.

Supergirl: Why would Reign go after Lena?
Winn: Well, Lena, did imprison Reign and then, you know, experimented on her for a little bit.
Alex: But revenge isn't Reign's M.O.
J'onn: I agree.
Lena: You're right. Reign wasn't looking for me. She was looking for Ruby.
Alex: Is she...
Lena: Reign won't find her. Ruby's safe, I promise.
Supergirl: And are you okay?
Lena: Fine.

Supergirl: [waking from a nightmare] It was so dark and horrible.
Alex: Was it about the Phantom Zone?
Supergirl: I don't... I don't wanna talk about it.
Alex: No, no, no, y-y-you don't have to, okay? It's-it's all over. We've got you. I've got you.
[Kara hugs her for comfort]
Alex: It's all behind us now.
Supergirl: [letting go] Good. Oh, 'cause I don't think I ever wanna hear the word "phantom" ever again. Not in an opera, not in a Star Wars prequel. Especially not in a Star Wars prequel. I don't even think I could handle an episode of Scooby-Doo right now.
Alex: [laughing together] It's... I'm sorry. It's so good to have you home. Now, uh, come on. You've got some folks that are waiting to see you.
Supergirl: Alex?
Alex: Yeah?
Supergirl: Can I have another hug, please?
Alex: Always.

Querl: What is it?
Supergirl: Oh. Nia Nal saw that picture this morning and kinda freaked out.
Querl: Nia Nal?
Supergirl: Yeah. She said it reminded her of a nightmare or something. Who knows if that's true.
Querl: Nightmare? And you just let her go?
Supergirl: Yeah.
Alex: What are you talking about?
Querl: There's no version of me telling you what I know that does not impact the space-time continuum.
Supergirl,11163: Whoa.
Alex: Wait a minute. Wait a minute. You know about Nia Nal in the 31st century? What... Brainy, who is she?
Querl: Better we don't discuss that. Future, abrogation, the butterfly effect, casual loops, etc, etc. Why do you think I kep this from you at Thanksgiving when I so easily, you expertly, deduced her import? All you need to know is that Nia might be able to lead us to Agent Liberty. We must go her at once.

Alex: Your being sick isn't a burden to anyone. Lena might be your boss...
[taking a blood draw and handing Sam a cotton swab]
Alex: Hang on to that. But she's also your friend. So maybe you should try letting her in.
Samantha: Alex, I've handled everything on my own since I was sixteen. Ruby, college, work, everything. Been white-knuckling my whole life. It's bad enough I included you in all these problems. So, I'm... I'll be fine.
Alex: I know what it's like to be afraid to let other people in. I have always been used to dealing with things in my life on my own. So, after Maggie and I broke up, uh... the thought of talking about it was terrifying. But Kara, being Kara, she wouldn't let me shut down. She... forced me to let her in so that we could figure things out together. That's the only way that I'm getting through any of this. And I am not about to let you make the same mistake that I almost made.

Alex: I need some advice, uh... about Valentine's Day.
Kara: Oh, my god, it's your first Valentine's Day with Maggie! That's so exciting! Oh! You have to go Il Palazzo. The bolognese-stuffed calamari is to die for. I'm sure they're booked, but Ms. Grant was a regular, so...
Alex: Yeah, well, I-I don't need a reservation, Kara. That's precisely the problem. Um... Maggie hates Valentine's Day.
Kara: Well, that's... that's kind of a bummer.

Supergirl: I killed him.
Alex: No.
Supergirl: It's him in the pod, not me.
Alex: Mon-El?
Supergirl: I killed him.
Alex: No.
Supergirl: [crying] I killed him. It was me. He's dead. He's dead. I know he's dead. I know it! If he were alive, we would have heard from him. We would have gotten a message. That tiny pod. I put him in there and he died. He died. I killed him. I killed him. I killed him.
Alex: He's not dead.
Supergirl: I killed him!
Alex: He is alive. Okay? I... I... I know it. I... I don't know where, I... I don't know how, but I just... I know he's alive. You saved him. Okay? Just like your mom saved you when she put you in that pod. She knew you were gonna be okay. She knew you were gonna live. Mon-El is alive because of you.
Supergirl: I saved him?
Alex: Yeah.

J'onn: If you and I can fan out to the side, we can draw their fire.
M'gann: [to Alex and Dreamer] While you attack through the middle. Sound good?
Alex: Why not? You ready?
Dreamer: Nope.
Alex: Me, neither. Let's go.

J'onn: Where's M'gann?
Alex: You... you've been out for days, J'onn. You must be a little confused.
J'onn: She was right here!
Alex: No, she's on Mars.
J'onn: What happened here?
Alex: Everything.

Alex: You don't look so dangerous shoving Chocos in your face.
Hank: How did you know they were my favorite?
Alex: You eat them at 3 AM. Only a favorite will do at 3 AM.

Kara: I am not in the Friend Zone.
Alex: You've spent more time in the Friend Zone than the Phantom Zone.

Alex: Are you seeing this? What the hell is this?
Winn: Never seen anything like that.
J'onn: I have.
Winn: Oh, no. That... I know that tone. That's a "bad news" tone.
J'onn: It's a transmatter portal. A way to travel instantly between worlds.
Winn: Oh, my god. It's "Stargate". Wait, does that mean that...?
Alex: [finding Kara's civilian clothes] Kara's not on Earth.

J'onn: Are you hurt?
Alex: I'm fine.
J'onn: [seeing the scratches on her neck] Damn it, Alex!
Alex: Look, I can handle it, okay? I-I-If-if we just can slow the progression of the infection, we can... we can buy enough time.
J'onn: [firmly] No. We need to get you into containment, 'til we can treat you when you get back home.
Alex: Okay, well, unless you want to get home without Kara, then you need me out there.
J'onn: You're not the only one at risk here. If you turn Phantom, you could jeopardize all of us. And Kara.
Alex: J'onn...
J'onn: Come on, Alex.
Alex: J'onn...
J'onn: Come on! I'm sorry.
[leading her to a containment unit]
J'onn: Look, you're making the right decision.
Alex: I know.
J'onn: [she kicks him in and locks the door] Alex, what are you doing?
Alex: Whatever it takes. Look, I'm sorry, J'onn, but if I'm not out there for it, the whole mission will fail.

Alex: Look, the man that I loved hasn't been a father to me in years. And... and, yes. Yes, we were so close that we could just... we could finish each other's sentences. But his obsession with keeping you safe changed all of it. Nothing else mattered to him, the least of all me.
Kara: That is not true.
Alex: Oh, come on, Kara. He treated you like you were some golden girl, and of course you have love for him, and I totally respect that. But he treated me like I wasn't even worth his time.
Kara: Okay. So what do you want me to tell Eliza?
Alex: I don't care.
Kara: You don't care. You don't care what I tell our grieving mother?
Alex: I have spent my entire life protecting this whole family, and I *will not* do it again!
Kara: [giving up] She is all yours, Kelly. I'm not dealing with this.

Alex: Are there any inhabited planets in its trajectory?
Querl: Just one.
Alex: [seeing the screens] Argo City.
J'onn: Oh, my god. Superman's there with Lois and...
Supergirl: My mom.
Alex: Can we warn them?
Querl: Argo's Harun-El sure makes communication difficult, but I will try.
Supergirl: How much time do they have, Brainy?
Querl: Not enough.

Alex: Why is this taking so long?
Querl: It takes several minutes for Myriad to suppress the Q-waves long enough for J'onn to see clearly.
Alex: [hearing the Sun-Eater's roar] What is that?
J'onn: A Sun-Eater.
Querl: That's impossible. The only one in the system...
[realizing]
Querl: ...is the baby from the Fortress of Solitude.

Supergirl: I have to get back to work.
Alex: And by "work", do you mean James?
Supergirl: No.
[sardonic laugh]
Supergirl: Especially not now. His ex showed up. Lucy Lane.
Alex: As in Lois Lane?
Supergirl: Her sister. She's gorgeous, she's smart, smells nice. Hell, I want to date her.

Alex: What's the point of all this?
Kara: I dunno. We need to sleep. We always slept well here.
Alex: So we'll stay for, like, three days. Mom will cook tons of food, and I'll gain, like, five pounds, and then walk back into an empty apartment.
Kara: Do you wanna talk about it? It might help.
Alex: You don't get to do that.
Kara: What?
Alex: You don't get to shut down, what, for six months after Mon-El goes, and then now sit here and you tell me to talk.
Kara: It will get better.
Alex: Yeah? Are you better?
Kara: Okay. You are edging on mean drunk, and I only signed up for sad drunk.
Alex: Oh, that's right.
[snaps her fingers]
Alex: I forgot. It's whatever Kara says that goes. Right? I mean, screw everybody else. Kara knows best.
Kara: You know what? I'm sorry that I was trying to do something nice for you.
Alex: No, I'm sorry that I broke the imaginary rules for a weekend that I didn't ask for.
Kara: Then I'm not gonna try to help you anymore.
Alex: Good.
Kara: Great.
[lies down, turning her back on her sister in that same dismissive way that had been done to her]

Alex: It's nice to see you so happy, Kara.
Kara: Well, the sun is shining, the... look, the Dar-Essa flower is even blooming. What is there to be upset about?
Alex: Um, Haley starts working full-time at the DEO tomorrow.
Kara: Got it. That's... that's a good reason.

Alex: So, how did it go? How was the trip?
[seeing Sam's confused look]
Alex: Your work trip.
[Sam smiles uncertainly]
Alex: Uh, wow. I mean, it must have been really bad if you've already blocked it out. It's okay.
Samantha: I said I had a work trip?
Alex: Yeah.
Samantha: No, I did. I did. I know... I know I did. I know I said that. But I didn't go anywhere.
[taking her phone out of her purse]
Samantha: Oh, my god. Lena called. How did I miss this?
Alex: Are you okay?
Samantha: They had a car for me. I never got in the car. I never got on a plane. How?
[a thought clicks in her mind]
Samantha: Oh, my god. Ruby said it the other day.
Alex: What did Ruby say?
Samantha: That I was gone. I told her that I was going somewhere, but I didn't. I don't know where I went. I thought maybe I was stressed, or, you know, maybe she was remembering wrong. But it keeps happening to me. I keep losing time.
Alex: Sam, take a deep breath.
Samantha: No, I don't know where I've been. Alex, I think something's wrong with me.

Al: J'onn, Alex, thanks for seeing me this late.
J'onn: No problem, Al.
Al: My brother Trevor's missing. He lives in my basement, but I haven't seen him for about a week.
Alex: Did you file a police report?
Al: I did, but then the cops found this on his computer.
J'onn: [showing Alex] An invitation to a weekend escape experience at Obsidian Platinum's Virtual Las Vegas.
Al: Invite says to get a hotel room. So no disturbances could pull the players away from their virtual experience.
Alex: So, the cops don't think that he's missing. They think that he's in some VR party binge.
Al: Right. But that was a week ago. Look, I'm telling you, this is not like Trevor at all.
J'onn: Al, do you mind taking me to your house? I'd like to take a look around, see what I can find.
Alex: And Kelly works for Obsidian North, so she can get me into Virtual Vegas. And if there's a chance that Trevor is in there, then I will find him, and he can tell me where he is in the real world.

[saying their final goodbyes]
Alex: You know, I didn't, uh... I didn't know I had it in me to be happy. Or to be accepting of myself. I never would have gotten... I never would have gotten here without you.
Maggie: You made me deal with my own stuff. Confronted my past. Stopped covering up the things I didn't wanna look at. I'm strong... I'm stronger for it, you know. I'm really grateful. Thank you.
Alex: Can I?
Maggie: Yeah, you can.
[they hug, then Maggie turns to leave]
Maggie: See you around, Danvers.
Alex: Yeah. See you, Mags.
Maggie: You're gonna be a great mom.

Supergirl: Ever since you told us what happened to Nxyly... she is troubled, but she has also been wrongly persecuted.
J'onn: She is still dangerous.
Supergirl: Only with magical powers. So if we take those away from her, I can try to get her to see that revenge is never the answer. We just need a way to power this device.
Alex: Didn't Mon-El use something magical against you when he fought you for Kara's hand?
Supergirl: Yes, that's right. That amulet. Except you destroyed it.
Mr. Mxyzptlk: I actually hid it in a place that nobody would ever find it. In a cave in the jungle in Corto Maltese. Although that cave was being used by a guerilla warlord as his base the last time I checked.
Supergirl: That's where I'm going. We can save you and Nxyly. We can save everyone.

Supergirl: What's going on?
Querl: There's been a perimeter breach.
J'onn: Do we have a location?
Alex: Negative.
Acrata: [appearing in a wisp of smoke] Help! Rama Khan is coming. He's gonna destroy the...
[she screams as she's pulled backward and disappears in another wisp of smoke]

Querl: I'm scanning for anything that draws a crowd within a hundred miles of National City. Cross-referencing those events with every item of food sold at a pick'n'mix and every known psychic energy signature.
Alex: So, have you found them?
Querl: Yes, of course. They're at the National City Fair.

Kara: [Alex wallows in her apartment] Alex, I can see you in there. Let me in, please.
Alex: Go away, Kara.
Kara: [flying in through the window] What's going on?
Alex: Nothing. Nothing is going on. You shouldn't have come over here.
Kara: Well, you didn't... you didn't show up for work, and that's not like you, so I got worried.
Alex: You're right. I should, uh... I should go in.
Kara: Wait, wait. Something is clearly wrong.
Alex: Everything is fine.
Kara: Is this about you coming out?
Alex: No. And just... forget I said anything about it, okay? Forget it.
Kara: Why? Wha... what does that mean?
Alex: It means that I made a mistake, okay? I was wrong, and I shouldn't have said anything. I should have just kept my mouth shut.
Kara: What happened?
Alex: [about Maggie] She doesn't like me, like that.
Kara: [hugging her as Alex breaks down crying] Come here.
Alex: I feel so humiliated.
Kara: No. No. I'm proud of you.

J'onn: Are you ready?
Alex: Yeah. Thanks for doing this, J'onn.
J'onn: All right.
[his eyes turn red and he cups her face]
J'onn: You're fine. Everything is normal.
Alex: Really? Thank god. Okay.
J'onn: Perhaps the stress you're feeling at work is, uh, the lack of a partner. A good cop to your bad cop.
Alex: Or maybe... I need the opposite of a cop. Brainy, how are your acting skills?

Alex: Why didn't you tell me that you saw Krypton? That... that you were having panic attacks?
Kara: I didn't want you to worry.
Alex: You fight the most dangerous and evil people on the planet, so I'm kind of always gonna worry.

Nia: I was doing some background on William, and guess whose marriage to a successful lawyer is a lie? His. You know that picture of his wife he keeps on his desk? It's a stock photo he got off the Web. And that article Andrea cleared him to write from London? Well, I had a weird feeling about it, so I astral-projected and I followed him; it was like something out of a James Bond movie. He got passed this newspaper from some guy, and now all of a sudden, he's no longer going to London, he's going to Mexico City.
Supergirl: Who is this guy?
Nia: Well, let's see, he's a liar who is literally made of shadows, and now he's going south to meet someone named Elena Torres. I think she might be his next target.
Supergirl: Good work.
Querl: [she hangs up] That was Nia?
Supergirl: [jumping] Yes. Yes, she has another lead on William. Another possible assassination attempt.
Alex: Well, if you think someone's life is at stake, then you should go.
Supergirl: Are you sure? With Kelly?
Alex: I'm sure.
Supergirl: Okay.
Querl: Uh, wait, before... before you go. Did Nia ask about me?
Alex: Oh, god.
Querl: What? Not that I care. I mean, not that I don't care, it's not a big deal.

J'onn: I know you must be confused. I was, too, but it happened. It all happened.
Supergirl: Why are we the only two that remember?
J'onn: What are we that they are not?
Supergirl: Paragons. We helped Oliver restart the universe.
J'onn: And this is the result. I suspect there will be more such changes that are yet to reveal themselves.
Alex: [getting an alert] Well, there's something happening downtown. I'll send a team.
Supergirl: No, no, no, it's fine. I need to punch something.

Alex: I'm driving you home.
Kara: I'm not flying. That's for sure.

Mon: [to Kara] Hey, you okay? You took a couple of serious blows back there at the house.
Winn: Oh, hey, you know what? I analyzed the frequency of the Worldkillers' vibrations when I was in the van. It turnsout, it is tuned specifically to hurt Kryptonians.
J'onn: Luckily, the inhibitors in the cell seem to be working on her.
Alex: Yeah, you do seem a bit off. Maybe we should run some tests. Guys?
J'onn: [turning to leave with Winn and Mon-El] Yeah, sure. We'll leave you to it.
Winn: Oh, yeah, yeah.
Alex: Thanks.
Winn: Break.
Supergirl: It's not the sonic blast that's bothering me.

Kelly: What happened?
Alex: Um... the grandparents called up, um, a priest to talk... talk to the mother, and she ended up... she changed her mind, and she's gonna keep... she's gonna keep the baby.

Samantha: Well, I came to say thank you, but I think Ruby just did that for the both of us.
Alex: Yeah.
Ruby: You made me feel safe when everything was horrible, and you made me have faith that my mom would get better. And I don't know what I would've done without you.
Alex: Well, I mean, you're a pretty great roomie.

Alex: The next time the government institutes a secret extraterrestrial defense program, I would appreciate being part of the conversation. Operation Claymore should have been DEO purview. If I'm not briefed on matters of national security, then I can't do my job.
Colonel: Just a moment. I didn't know
Alex: Sorry?
Colonel: President acted against protocol. I was never informed.

Alex: This is Martian nanites laced with potassium iodide. It's gonna give your system a chance to repair itself now that you're out of that room. But it's not gonna be fun.
Brainiac: [bolting upright with a gasp] Gamemnae. I know how to stop her. The Anti-Life Equation. Leviathan were ancient aliens, but Gamemnae's a technological being, which is exactly what the Anti-Life Equation was designed for. All we need is a method of uploading it into that center console, which has to be the ship's command hub.
Alex: [conjuring a compatible device] Like this?

J'onn: Lex is building a LexoSuit army?
William: Apparently, it's a gift to help ingratiate himself with Nxyly and help defeat you guys and get the totems.
Supergirl: And Otis told you this in an alley?
William: I convinced him to meet by offering to keep whatever he said on deep background, but he wanted to go on the record. I got the impression that his bromance with Lex is rocky.
Dreamer: What if Otis spilling the tea is just another one of Lex's tricks?
Lena: Then we just use that to our advantage. I can create a data interception program to track Lex through the LexoSuits. We'll know where he is soon.
Alex: That's great, Lena.
Lena: And listen, I know the timing's not ideal, but I got a call from my friend at Club Rialto, and she said that her VIP suite is available for your bachelorette party if you want it.
J'onn: [Kara gaps excitedly] Nice.
Lena: Tonight.
Alex: Tonight? Uh, I...
Supergirl: Alex! Life is unpredictable. The world is unpredictable. There will always be a threat. You have to seize the joy when you can. Come on. I can keep everyone safe.
J'onn: [chanting] Do it! Do it! Do it!
Alex: Oh, my god. Oh, my god, stop. Okay, okay, okay. Let's do it. Let's do it.

Alex: [firing an alien blaster] Oh, I got dibs.

Alex: All right, Esme, look at this. This is Al's. This is home to the best karaoke night in the galaxy. You're gonna love it.
Esme: As long as they have mozzarella sticks.

Kara: Where would Deegan, um, Superman keep something valuable?
Alex: Anything of importance to him, he keeps in a place called the Fortress of Solitude. I'll take you there.
Barry: [groans] I just came from the Fortress of Solitude!

Alex: I may not, uh... understand, and, uh, you know, I... I understand that I won't fully ever... I just... I just want to be... an ally to you in every way.
Kelly: I, uh... I feel like a valve has been released... and I have no control over my emotions. Which is something I have always prided myself on. All I keep saying is that I'm tired... of fighting for something that we should all be innately fighting for. I am so tired. Yeah, and I-I... I c... I ca... I can't process it all right now.
Alex: Well, how do I support you? Because I love you. And it kills me to see you in pain.
Kelly: Just... let me be. And don't push me to unpack it all right now so it can be communicated for you. Hold the space and love me... without having to understand all of me and all of my experiences. And for now, just... hold me.

Colonel: You neglected to inform me that Agent Jensen is not a human.
Alex: He is. Well, he was. When Mercy and Otis broke into the DEO, they took with them a creature called Parasite. And once this parasite infects a host, which in this case was Jensen, the host has the ability to suck the life force out of whoever it touches.
Colonel: Leaving that person dead.
Alex: And if it's an alien, absorbing their powers.
Colonel: We're very lucky he didn't have more contact with Supergirl.
Alex: And we're lucky the host doesn't have the ability to retain the powers it absorbs. So, we'll try to get Jensen when he's at his weakest.
Colonel: And how do we do that?
Alex: The last time, we overloaded his system with nuclear energy. Plutonium.
Colonel: I'll contact the Pentagon about gathering nuclear material.
Alex: And I'll speak with Supergirl. This is one monster she can't fight.
Colonel: Very wise, Director Danvers.

Alex: I'm scrambling a strike team.
J'onn: There's no time. She's on her own. Supergirl? Identify the threat so we can help you fight it.
Winn: Whatever it is, it came out of deep orbit, and it is mad.
J'onn: It's alien?
Winn: Well, it's definitely not NASA.
Alex: Is it Zarnian?
Winn: Or Hellgrammite.
Supergirl: Dominator. These guys are so last year.

Alex: [watching a documentary about outer space] Now, Supergirl is up there right now on a mission to find a substance that's gonna fix your mom.
Ruby: There's so much nothing. What if she doesn't make it back in time?
Alex: She's called "Supergirl" for a reason. She will, I promise.
[a moment of silence]
Alex: Hey, you know what? Why don't we get out of here? I just happen to know where there is a wicked ice cream truck. And, I mean, all the toppings.
Ruby: That's all I need right now.
Alex: Let's do it. Me, too.

Querl: I've just reconfigured all possible energy signatures based on J'onn's DNA.
Alex: Oh, you really are on top of it all, Brainy.
Querl: I really am, aren't I? I began this morning by executing a perfect breakfast for Nia Nal. She called it "the best morning ever". And as of ten minutes ago, she's having an even better afternoon. She's welcome. You see, the key to a good relationship is knowing each other fully.
Alex: Mm, I don't know if that's really true.
Querl: Your voice just went up two octaves. Is everything all right?
Alex: Everything is great. Except I almost... kind of poisoned Kelly this morning. That was just a silly mistake.
Querl: Sounds like a deadly mistake.
Alex: I didn't know she was allergic to blueberries, okay? How could I? She never told me that. And then I started thinking "Okay, well, what else hasn't she told me? What else might I accidentally kill her with?", because... I really like her, Brainy, like... like, a lot. And I don't wanna kill her.
Querl: You and Kelly are still in the "getting to know you" stage.
Alex: Okay, but that's what I'm talking about. When did this happen? When did my feelings for Kelly get so strong, and how could I possibly feel this way about somebody that I barely know?
Querl: From what I've learned, the heart is not logical.

Alex: [running tests on James at the DEO] Heart rate is 186. His ICP at 22 mil, and his BP is 160/30 and rising.
Querl: EKG now erratic. Pardon me for stating the obvious, but I do not believe the extraction process is working. You're pulling plasma, not Harun-El, and you're exacerbating his symptoms.
James: It's okay. Keep going.
[Lena taps her tablet; James grunts in pain as his hearing is overloaded with stimuli]
James: Oh, god... okay. I'm fine.
Lena: I'm sorry. I thought this would work. I took this AmerTek technology straight from Lex's cell and I followed the instruction plans from Eve's lab exactly.
Querl: In the interest of science, was that super hearing you just experienced?
Kelly: Super-hearing now, too?
Alex: It seems every panic attack is bringing out a new ability.
Lena: I will fix this. I just... need to better understand this.

Alex: All right, forget the aliens. We're looking for this woman, Fiona Byrne. We find her, we find them all.

Kara: So, I just have to confirm that J'onn pretended to be me, but sick, and then he talked about kissing James with Lena?
Alex: Yeah.
[Kara cackles with laughter]
Alex: Yeah. It's weird.
Kara: I wish I could have seen that.

J'onn: Before I fell, I was seized by another vision of Malefic.
Supergirl: Another? You've had more of these?
J'onn: Yesterday. I felt Malefic during the psychic attack. It's as if I can sense him all around me.
Alex: But how? We sent him to the Phantom Zone.
J'onn: All I can think is these flashes are... maybe symptoms of my guilt. I know we had no choice but to send Malefic back to the Phantom Zone, but... I mean, he's too dangerous to be contained here on Earth. Even so, I can't help feeling I've wronged my brother again. This is the third time he's been sentenced to confinement by my hand.
Supergirl: No, your brother made his own decisions. You can't blame yourself for that. But it seems like you're going through some sort of trauma.
Alex: Maybe Kelly can help.
J'onn: She can't provide the help I need. I'll deal with this the Martian way.

Kara: Okay, come and get your eggnog.
Alex: Uh, yeah, but be warned, this is not your grandmother's recipe. No, this is highly potent, intoxicating deliciousness.
James: Ooh. Danvers' famous eggnog?
Lena: Um, sounds tempting, but you know, I think I'll stick with the Scotch.

Lena: Kara. I was worried. I heard the president tried to silence you.
Kara: I'm okay.
Lena: Thank god. And then Supergirl?
Alex: She's alive, and she's ready to fight.

Alex: [sitting with the comatose Supergirl] I'm so sorry. I did this. I mean, I'm the one that pushed you into that fight. I told you that Kara Danvers was my favorite person, and then I told you to forget who you were. And now I'm... I don't know if we can do this without you.

Kelly: They were making posters for the school's baking competition and a mean girl made fun of Esme's chocolate roulade entry.
Esme: Chelsea said it looked like an ugly log. I'm gonna lose. I didn't mean to use my powers, but then boom, paint everywhere. I'm sorry.
Kelly: No, it's okay.
Alex: I think Chelsea is just jealous because she's baking boring old brownies, and your roulade is exciting and it's unique, just like you.
Esme: Thanks.
Alex: But you didn't get the paint in your ears, and I don't know how you did it.
Kelly: It's impressive.
Alex: [finding the mark in between her shoulder blades] Esme, what's this back here? Did someone... did someone draw on you?
Kelly: Let me see.
[taking a look]
Kelly: Wasn't there at bath time yesterday. Is that a tattoo?

Kara: I don't know. I feel like I'm not living up to my potential. I went to work for Cat Grant because I thought working in a media company run by a powerful woman who actually shapes the way people think would be the way that I could make a difference. But instead I just fetch layouts and coffee.
Alex: You always wanted to be normal, right? So having a crappy boss and absolutely nothing to wear, this is what normal looks like.
Kara: I'm not normal. I have the same powers he does. I can... lift a bus, stop a bullet. Alex, I can fly. At least I think I can. I haven't done it in years.
Alex: Kara, you've got a good job. You're cute. And thanks to your alien DNA, you can't get pimples. Life is not so bad. But if you really want to help someone, you'll pick between one of these two so I can get on my plane.
[she holds up a red and blue shirt; after a moment of indecisiveness, Kara points to the red one]
Alex: [handing her the blue shirt] Good choice. When it doubt, go with blue. It is your color. All right, text me every detail from your date, and I will call you when I'm back from Geneva. I love you.
Kara: Love you.

Kara: I made a tactical mistake in my reporting.
Alex: What are you talking about?
Kara: I was so certain Amadei was a great man. I published this glowing article making him out to be a saint. But if I dug a little deeper, I may have discovered how flawed he is.
J'onn: How would that information have changed anything, Kara?
Kara: My portrait of him as immaculate may have put a target on his back. I always try to believe of the best in people, and so much of the time, it just seems to make things worse.
Alex: Kara, I usually expect the worst in people, and... I mean, that's no better. I was convinced for sure that Haley was gonna be a monster, but instead she's been very reasonable and deeply supportive.

Lena: Hard to believe a small piece of wood from the bodhi tree can cause so much chaos.
Supergirl: Well, now that Nxyly's back to her old self, she'll no doubt be on the hunt for another totem.
J'onn: And now that she's lost the humanity totem, she'll be angrier than ever.
Alex: When William publishes his article, everyone in National City's gonna know about her and the totems.
Dreamer: And that the Super Friends have evened the score.
Supergirl: It's time we get a head start on Nxyly. Any ideas how?
Lena: I still have some of those ionized particles left. They're still active. Each of the totems has the same energy signal, so we could use the particles to track another one. There's just enough left for one, though.
Alex: Okay, so, which one do we go after?
Dreamer: Well, there's the Dream totem. Sounds like something I might be able to help with.

J'onn: What could do something like this?
Alex: The lead dispersal device. The one that we used to knock out the Daxamites?
Querl: Yeah, unlikely. That device is here under lock and key. Only a DEO agent could...
[realizing]
Querl: Jensen.
J'onn: What about Astra's anti-Kryptonite shield?
Querl: You have an anti-Kryptonite shield?
J'onn: Winn adapted it for moments just like this. It can leech the Kryptonite out of her system. Vault 97.
Querl: I'll get it.

Alex: [surviving a bomb blast] Are you okay? Are you... you hurt?
Querl: I am intact. You're the fragile human. Are you harmed?
Alex: I don't think so. But I am furious. They dangled Rip Roar knowing that we would take the bait, and now we've got nothing.
Querl: Not nothing. We still have Rip Roar's armor. We should start studying it immediately.

[first lines]
J'onn: Please state your name.
Lena: Lena Keiran Luthor. Where should I begin?
Supergirl: How long has this been going on?
Lena: Three weeks.
Supergirl: And what... exactly have you been doing with Sam... for weeks?
Lena: When I first suspected that Sam was more than she knew, I took her to a secret lab in L-Corp, where I conducted a series of tests. With her consent.
Alex: When I examined her, I found nothing out of the ordinary.
Lena: Then you weren't looking for the right things.

Frank: I'm Agent Liberty.
Colonel: Frank... respectfully, you are not leadership material. However, we know you were on Shelley Island, and your background has oddly been erased. So I've got a hunch you can tell us who Agent Liberty is.
Frank: I am Agent Liberty.
Alex: [watching the surveillance feed] We offer plea deals, we tell them we're gonna lock them up, and they just keep saying the same thing.
Querl: Doing a Spartacus. By which I mean our captured Children of Liberty claim the identity of their hero.
Supergirl: [approaching] Oh, you're watching the classics.
Querl: I'm mastering them. Would you like to discuss auteur theory and the works of Ed Wood?
Supergirl: Yeah, definitely.
Alex: Any leads from CatCo?
Supergirl: No. No, but we're getting close. I can feel it in my gut.
Querl: Could be a probiotic issue.

Kara: You know, my Alex was always drawn to service, so i-i-it's not surprising that you care so deeply about this world and all the people in it. But on my Earth, Alex doesn't just have a job. She's in charge of a place like this.
Alex: She's in charge?
Kara: She's a leader who's just and proud, and when someone tells her to do something she knows is wrong, she gives them hell, and she does what's right. And she doesn't have powers like I do, but she's a hero. And she has the biggest heart of anyone I know, even though she doesn't always like to show it. And she has good friends, a real family of support that she's created for herself. And she doesn't hide who she is; she wants a wife, and kids. She's optimistic that she can have it all. It's not an "if", it's a "when".
Alex: She sounds pretty awesome.
Kara: She is. And I-I know I'm not your sister on this planet. I... I guess my pod didn't land here, but... you're still that person. I can tell. I know it. And Superman re-wrote this reality to make us all his prisoners. I think you're smart enough to see through him.
Alex: If I were to let you out of that cell, you'd, what, stop him?
Kara: [with a nod] Pinky swear.

Alex: Listen, Brainy called on my way over here. He's still running tests on the label that you brought back from the shipyard. But they did find the missing bodies of the Children of Liberty. And there was no evidence they were killed by aliens. But this was personal. Busted skulls, broken jaws, in addition to gunshot wounds.
Kara: Broken jaws.
[a thought strikes her]
Kara: Do you think brass knuckles could cause that much damage?
Alex: If they're paired with a strong enough arm, yeah.

Alex: I can't get ahold of Kara. Lockwood is heading to CatCo. I gotta get her and Dreamer out of there.
Kelly: Wait. You're gonna be court-martialed if you try to stop Lockwood.
Querl: [approaching] They cannot catch us if they cannot see us.

Querl: Those are not bruises. Simply toxins pulled to the surface by the Truth Seeker. Not to worry, they'll vanish soon.
Alex: I hope so. Something just doesn't feel right.
Querl: Perhaps this will make you feel better.
[sending a video file from his AI core to a monitor]
Querl: I have discovered the species we apprehended last night.
Alex: They're human?
Querl: Oh, no, not just human. Frat boys.

Alex: You know... when I, uh, when I thought that we couldn't get you back, I... I just wanted to give up. I mean, like... like I couldn't get out of bed. I couldn't... you know? And now that we did get you back, I still feel like you could slip away at any moment. I felt that way today, too. And I'm so sorry. Because all I want to do is just shield you from any more pain that I just didn't even think it's... the only way out is through. And we're gonna get through this together.
Kara: Healing together.
Alex: Yeah.
Kara: Iris West-Allen wrote a piece for the Central City Citizen about how the city came together after an attack. That's what I need to write my piece on.
Alex: That is a very noble and a very courageous thing to do.
Kara: Thank you. And we need to get you a fork because I am not gonna let you embarrass yourself trying to use these chopsticks.

Otis: [holding a gun to Supergirl's head] I call this move "the can opener".
[Alex steps forward, raising her gun]
Otis: Ah, ah. There's still kryptonite in the air, right? So, uh, what happens if I pull the trigger?
Alex: No, stop!
Supergirl: Air check.
Querl: The atmosphere is 99% clear.
Mercy: Why are you protecting her? Why are you protecting any of them? Look at what they do.
Alex: They aren't doing this. You are.
Mercy: People need to be afraid. Even if it means we have to sell it to them.

Winn: 8.0 earthquake, tornadoes and superstorms over Madagascar? Tsunami warning? We got a hundred percent chance of, you guessed it, Reign.
Supergirl: It's the terraforming.
Mon: On Zune, they terraformed her planet's natural resources, so they'd go right throught the planet's core to create a genesis event.
Supergirl: Destroy all life in order to be reborn.
Mon: Exactly.
Alex: Go through the Earth's core, and you get pretty close to Madagascar.
Winn: Okay, well, so that's what the witches are doing. Can I ask how long it took this genesis event to be completed?
Mon: Hours.
J'onn: [entering] I'm not gonna let that happen.

Supergirl: What are we doing in here?
Alex: When I joined the DEO, I spent twelve hours a day for five straight months in this room. We need to know that you're prepared for everything you might face out there.
Supergirl: Alex, I can bend steel with my bare hands, and last week I kicked Vartox's butt. I'm ready enough.
Alex: You really think so?
Supergirl: Yeah, I do.
[Alex punches her and sends her sprawling]
Supergirl: How did you do that?
Alex: [the room turns green] Kryptonite emitters. They're only at 18%. Not enough to permanently harm you, but enough to weaken you, make this a fair fight.
Supergirl: I just found out last week that kryptonite exists. Only the DEO knows it can hurt me.
Alex: You may have powers, Kara, but so do most of the Fort Rozz aliens. Not only do they have the element of surprise, but they've also had time to master their abilities. We may not always know who our enemies are, so we need to be prepared to face anyone. Now, come at me.

Kara: Clark said it himself. The decision I made, he couldn't have made that sacrifice. But me, I couldn't have lived with myself if I hadn't. I will always make the decision I made. I am not a human. I tried to be, but I'm not. Kara Danvers was a mistake. So, uh, if you have an update about work, I'd love to hear it. Otherwise, uh...
Alex: Bloodsport has the capability to cloak a nuke. We're thinking that he's gonna hit the statue unveiling at the waterfront. J'onn wants everyone there.
Kara: I'll be there.
Alex: [quietly] Yeah.
[turning to leave, she stops at the door]
Alex: Kara Danvers is my favorite person. She's saved me more times than Supergirl ever could, so just... think about that while you're trying to get rid of her.

Kelly: Alex, wake up. Wake up, Alex.
Alex: [waking with a gasp] Don't touch me.
Kelly: Hey, it's me. It's me.
Alex: [calming down as Kelly takes her hand] It's you. Okay. It's you.

Lena: You lost a radioactive Kelex?
Alex: Oscar. Supergirl and J'onn are out scanning for him right now. We're looking for anything that he might have absorbed that would corrupt his programming and make him disappear.
Zor: [his tablet beeps] The DEO had Daxamite tech?
Alex: Yeah.
Zor: That might explain his new cloaking abilities.
Lena: Well, I have some experience with that. I should be able to de-cloak him by sending out a signal wave blast.
[Brainy yields his chair to her]
Lena: Zor-El, you used Coluan shrinking tech. Smart. I did something similar with a high-pressure energy compactor at L-Corp. It's an attractive idea, but a delicate process. Shrinking energy doesn't get rid of it. It still has to go somewhere.
Zor: That energy is what powers Oscar. He's self-sufficient.
Lena: Unless he's been compromised by one of my brother's unholy experiments.

Maxwell: Mutually assured destruction. You're making me nostalgic for the Cold War, Alex.
Alex: [in Russian] Do svidanya.

Alex: What is this place?
Maggie: It's a safe haven. Place for off-world'ers to hang out, have a drink. Not feel so alone for a minute.
Alex: So, this is where you get all your information about the alien populace in National City.
Maggie: They also make mean peach mojito.

Kelly: Since Malefic is gone, how about less fighting on the front lines and more... cuddles and Netflix?
Alex: Okay, yeah, I'm in.

Querl: Secretary Lockwood chose to cope with his grief by going on a superpowered rampage.
Alex: So he injected himself with Harun-El?
Lena: Yeah, and he took our entire stock.
Querl: And then he came back to trash the place, to boot.
Lena: Wait. He's the key. And he's been in front of us this entire time.
Alex: Lockwood?
Lena: Lockwood must be connected to Lex.

Alex: We are trying to keep up, but they are just moving so fast. Outmatched by a freaking hat. I'll talk to the Joint Chiefs, see if they want us overseas.
Colonel: No, I'll handle that. I need to also make sure Ms. Luthor is settled in.
Alex: I can take that off your plate.

J'onn: No Supergirl, no cavalry, and Reign is strong. But she doesn't know what we're capable of. Let's show her.
Alex: You ready?
J'onn: I just had a conversation about James Olsen's extraordinary kissing ability. This'll be a Sunday picnic.

Alex: Brainy, I need you to open a gap in the dome away from Jensen. I gotta get these civilians evacuated.
Colonel: Negative. Danvers, you need to focus on the target.
Alex: I am. Supergirl will get 'em out.
Kara: [getting into superhero mode] On it.

Nia: Kara, you need to get here immediately. Ms. Rojas is on a rampage, and she won't start the editorial meeting until everyone's present.
Kara: I'm on my way.
[hanging up]
Kara: You guys get J'onn to Kelly.
Alex: Okay. And I'll have the DEO start a broadband scan for Green Martians ASAP.
Kara: [he groans in pain] J'onn, we're gonna find your brother.

Brainiac: The Phantoms disrupted the portal. We need to get it back online.
Alex: On it.
Silas: [taking cover] Not again.
Alex: Silas, we have to send the Phantoms back. I need you to help me.
Silas: Please don't let them take me.
Alex: These creepy bastards aren't gonna take any more of us. Okay? Do it for Owen.

Querl: One of my superior capabilities is recovering from alcohol libation with remarkable speed. Are there any scones left?
[noticing Nia]
Querl: Nia Nal!
Kara: You two know each other?
Nia: Well, we met once at a pizza place. You know, you never found me.
Querl: But of course I did. Your address is 775 Gladiola Drive, second floor corner apartment. Your phone number is 555-8010. You stop at Bob's Diner every morning and order an extra super large coffee, milk. No sugar.
Alex: Okay. Yes, that... he's not nearly as stalkery as that all just came out as.
Nia: Well, why didn't you call?
Querl: You told me to find you, not call you.

Supergirl: The Kryptonian attacked Edge in his office.
Winn: Oh... no? No. No. No, that's bad. That's objectively bad.
Supergirl: It doesn't matter who the target was. They're just killing whoever they want.
J'onn: We're doing everything we can to track them.
Alex: I'll head to Edge's office, see if they left behind anything I can trace.
Supergirl: No. No, I'm tired of playing hide and seek. The longer we wait, the more people are gonna die.
J'onn: What do you propose?
Supergirl: We do it their way.
Winn: [sarcastic, as she flies away] Well, that's comforting.

Kelly: [playing Jenga, Alex successfully pulls a piece out] No, not again! Well, you are a ringer.
Alex: Well, it's called hand/eye coordination. I don't know what else to tell you, babe.

Kara: [re the proposed ad in which Supergirl works along with Lex at the DEO] Duh! Gag me with a spoon. I don't care what world we're on, I can't ever see a version of myself agreeing to do that commercial.
Alex: Well, on this planet, you and Lex were excellent collaborators.
Kara: No, stop! This is literally my nightmare.
Alex: Okay, well, how do you think I feel? I've been totally in the dark. Thank God J'onn gave me my memories back.
Kara: Yeah, I know. I wish he could do it for everyone.
Alex: Well, according to him, restoring the world's collective memories would reconfigure relationships on such a massive scale that everyone's minds would literally be blown.
Kara: Ugh, gross.

[first lines]
Alex: [top of CatCo building] You know, the last time I was on this rooftop, it was like an aerial junkyard. Shards of glass, rusty bikes, abandoned appliances.
Kara: Apparently that was the last time anyone was up here, until yesterday.
J'onn: You mean you planted this garden by yourself in one day?
Kara: Well, superspeed helps.

Kelly: This community needs someone who is willing to fight for them, even when the system isn't listening.
Alex: Yeah.
Kelly: It's time to pick up where Jimmy left off. I wanna be the new Guardian.
Alex: I have something for you.
Kelly: What? Okay.
[Alex retrieves a box from the closet]
Kelly: What is this?
Alex: Okay. Open it.
[doing so, Kelly finds the Guardian helmet inside]
Alex: The moment I saw you use that shield during Crisis, I had a hunch that this might be coming. So I reached out to James. And he sent this for you. I don't think there is anyone better fit to be the next Guardian.
Kelly: I don't know what to say... except I love you.
Alex: Yeah, we'll see how you feel after we start your training.

Alex: I don't know why I thought throwing a lesbian wedding shower would curb mom's cheesy antics.
Kara: Nope. Gay, straight, whatever, Eliza will not be stopped until she digs up every bridal shower game since the beginning of time. You know what? You're gonna love Bridal Bingo.
Alex: Kill me now.

Supergirl: You found us?
Alex: Always. We got to hurry up. Winn's waiting for us.
Supergirl: Wait. You brought Winn to space?

Alex: Okay, I'm sorry, I'm confused. This is your all-powerful Fifth-Dimensional stalker?
Kara: No. I don't know who this is.
Mxyzptlk: I am Mr. Mxyzptlk, just as I'm sure that you, Kara Danvers, are Suuuuuuu...
Kara: [pulling him inside] Ah, get in here!
Mxyzptlk: Thank you so much. I can't just come in anymore. I have to be invited.

Alex: I really screwed up, Kelly. When Kara's powers overwhelmed Esme, I should have realized that she needed a break, but I just kept pushing her to keep going. It was like these instincts took over, and all of a sudden I'm acting more like a DEO drill sergeant than I am a mother. And it was exactly the wrong thing to do. Growing up, my mom with Kara, she was so kind and-and understanding, and it was exactly the mom that Kara needed. And that's everything that I want to be.
Kelly: You're being really hard on yourself. Your mom and Kara fought all the time. You even told me that once, Kara got so angry with Eliza that she almost burned the house down with her heat vision.
Alex: Well, Kara was a teenager, okay? Not some innocent little ball of cuteness.
Kelly: My point is, they worked it out and Kara thrived. And even your mother needed that grace period. So cut yourself some slack. And this morning, when Esme was scared, I... I wanted it to be about her powers, because that would have been an easier fix. But it's not about that. It's... it's us.
Alex: Okay, so I was right.
Kelly: No. She just told me that she thinks it's best if we take her back. And it wasn't because you pushed her. I think she is terrified of getting close to us because she thinks we're gonna abandon her like everyone else did. And I'm a therapist. I should have realized that this morning.
Alex: [taking her hands] Hey. Mm-mm.
Kelly: I just... I want to do better for Esme.
Alex: I know you do. I just wish we could make her see that.
Kelly: We can figure this out. We just gotta figure out a way to get her to see the truth.
Alex: [getting an idea] The truth.

Alex: Maybe you should have let her get taken out.
Kelly: While Rankin may literally be the worst person ever, saving her made me realize that being a great superhero isn't about mastering a single move. It's about adapting. That's why I'm gonna make a kick-ass Guardian.
Alex: Damn right it is.

Supergirl: [surprised to see Alex at Devils Tower] Director Danvers.
Alex: I did what I thought was right.

Kara: What was that?
Alex: Nothing good.

Supergirl: [troop of wind-up toy monkeys go maniacal] Does this feel like...
Alex: Like Toyman.
Supergirl: [realizing] They're bombs.
[speeding over, she contains the blast with her cape]

Alex: You have to tell Lena that you're Supergirl.
Kara: But...
Alex: When I told you to hold off, I just meant for one night.
Kara: But there's been so much going on. I-I'm covering the special election, and-and with the dog, and I'm helping you recover all those prisoners from the DEO desert facility.
Alex: And the DEO and I very much appreciate that. But you're doing all these other things when there's just one thing that you need to do.
Kara: I know. I've just put it off for so long, and now... I'm being given an award for my tireless pursuit of the truth, and I'm a liar. I'm terrible.
Alex: You're not terrible. You're just scared.
Kara: I am so scared. I'm so scared that she's never gonna forgive me, Alex. I mean, what kind of person lies to their best friend for this long?
Alex: Look, I... have told you a gazillion times, you are the bravest person that I know. Okay? So be brave and tell her.
Kara: You're right. Yeah, we're having lunch today. I-I'll tell her today.
Alex: Good. I believe in you.

Alex: You've been weird ever since I told you.
Kara: I don't mean to be.
Alex: Kara, I know when you're sad, or when you're disappointed. I don't know what I would do if you were disappointed in me.
Kara: I would never be disappointed in you, but you said you didn't want to talk about it anymore.
Alex: Well, I do. If... if you're not okay with it...
Kara: I'm SO okay with it! Sit down. Alex, come and talk with me.
[Alex sits]
Kara: I think I owe you an apology.
Alex: For what?
Kara: For not creating an environment where you felt that you could talk about this with me. All those years we spent together growing up, the endless nights talking and sharing, now I realize that they were all about me and my secret. There's never been room for you, and that's my fault. And I'm so sorry.
Alex: You didn't do anything wrong.
Kara: And I know... I know that this is not the same at all, but I do know how it feels to keep a part of yourself shut off, to keep it inside. And I know how lonely that can make you feel. But Alex, you are not alone.
Alex: I can't do this without you.
Kara: You don't have to. So what about Maggie? What's she like?
Alex: I... I just like her so much. You know, she's smart and she's tough and she's just beautiful. She's so beautiful.
Kara: So are you.
[the Danvers sisters hug, Alex gets a message on her phone]
Alex: D.E.O.'s reporting an alien attacking civilians in an alleyway downtown.
Kara: I'll go get the alien. You get the girl.

Mr. Mxyzptlk: [singing to the melody of "I Will Survive"] You'll see that I'm afraid, I am petrified/For that imp, she has a crystal/She wants me inside/And Nxyly's not just any imp/But a princess, brave and strong/Who was wronged/And for payback has waited long!/Oh, she's the daughter of the imp king/Who was bad to every imp and every other thing/So she conspired with her brother/To unseat the evil lord/But they got caught and sent to trial before the horde/Go on/Walk out the door/Oh, the king, he disowned Nxyly for starting up that war/And Nxyly's brother, he got praised/For showing his ferocity/But Nxyly was sent away because, hey, patriarchy!/Oh, Nxylaai! She would survive/In the outer lands she found a quest/And that kept her alive/And the AllStone totem she would find/So much power she would mine/She would survive/She would survive!
Supergirl: [turning the music off] Hold on, I'm confused. Because she told me that her brother was dead. That her father killed him.
Mr. Mxyzptlk: She was probably speaking metaphorically. I mean, since they both rebelled and she was banished and the golden son was rewarded, he's probably dead to her.
Alex: Okay, fine. But what are these totems?
Nia: And what's this AllStone?
Mr. Mxyzptlk: Thousands of years ago, there was an evil imp named Jyrryd, and he created an all-powerful AllStone to give him mastery over... everything.
J'onn: "Everything" as in...
Mr. Mxyzptlk: Everything. Energy, matter, magic, even life and death. The other imps found out about it. They banished Jyrryd and they blew up the AllStone, scattering the pieces throughout the known universes where they became the totems of truth, destiny, love, dreams, hope, humanity, and courage. Pretty much every planet has a set.
Brainiac: I'm sorry, but what does any of this have to do with Nxyly showing up to put you in a crystal?
Mr. Mxyzptlk: Nxyly needs the totems... to make a new AllStone, but the totems can be disguised as literally anything, so she needs a magical orb to find them. Jyrryd's crystal.
Alex: So it's like a homing beacon?
Supergirl: She had a crystal ball at the Ormfell and in the Phantom Zone.
Mr. Mxyzptlk: To give power to the crystal, the orb needs to have an imp with the blood of Jyrryd inside it. And guess who has two thumbs and is Jyrryd's last descendant?
[pointing his thumbs at himself and clicking his tongue]
Mr. Mxyzptlk: It's also why I had to testify against Nxyly. King Brpxz made me, by the way.
Brainiac: Nxyly wants to capture you in her crystal, which she can use to find the seven totems that will give her ultimate power.
Mr. Mxyzptlk: Or we could say it...
[turning his music back on]
Mr. Mxyzptlk: From the bridge, everybody.

Alex: Well, this used to be my lab. I'm glad it's in good hands.
Lena: It's just for a couple of weeks. Unless you wanna change that combat suit for a white coat?

Ben: [groggy after getting injured] Is it Supergirl?
Alex: No. Agent Alex Danvers, FBI. Supergirl got called away. Afraid you're stuck with me.
Ben: Is it... is it bad?
Alex: Not half as bad as what you and your friends did to that Bravik.
Ben: What? No, no, no. No, I was just... I was trying to help, but our guys are just angry. They are scared that they're...
Alex: Your guys?
Ben: My family, we own the steel factory across the way. The workers, they're very good people.
Alex: Oh, they are lucky people. Because Supergirl went very, very easy on them.
[indicating his wound dressing]
Alex: Keep it clean, change the bandage often, and stay out of trouble.

Kelly: We have been through a lot of intense stuff together in a short amount of time, haven't we?
Alex: That would be the understatement of the century. Yeah.
Kelly: So, here's the strange part. I don't want it to end. The closeness with you, it has felt like both the most natural thing in the world and like a revelation. And I hope to God that I haven't made this awkward between us. I just... I haven't felt like this in a long time, and I just felt like I had to...
Alex: [kissing her] Ditto.
Querl: [passing by, hand in hand with Nia] Fear not. We see nothing.

J'onn: I have to go away for a few days. I'm gonna need you both to manage the DEO until I get back.
Kara: Where are you going?
J'onn: Mars.
Alex: You... Mars?
J'onn: M'gann sent me a message. She needs my help.
Kara: Help with what?
J'onn: I dunno. The message was short, urgent. I tried to make contact, but I... I couldn't reach her. I can sense that she's in danger.
Kara: No, J'onn, you're the last Green Martian. The Whites have been trying to kill your kind for centuries. Going back would be a suicide mission.
J'onn: Look, M'gann came to our aid when we were in need. I must go for M'gann.

Supergirl: Fire at the port. Gotta go.
Alex: Hey, you've been dodging missiles and pushing your endurance for the last two hours. Even you have your limits.
Supergirl: For the last twelve years I hid who I was. I don't have to anymore. And I don't want to waste a minute of it. Besides, this sounds like a job for Supergirl.

Alex: What's the news on the Hellgrammite?
Hank: We've confirmed six similar attacks on chemical plants across the country over the past year. He's been making his way to National City with enough chemical components to build a weapon of mass destruction.
Agent: [entering] I'm not so sure about that, sir. The tests we ran on his blood indicate his alien DNA isn't carbon-based like humans. It has a chlorine foundation.
Alex: Each of those facilities stored confiscated DDT, which is a chlorine pesticide.
Hank: Well, if he's not building a weapon, what does he need DDT for?
Alex: He's eating it.
Agent: Right. Given his home planet's atmospheric conditions, DDT would be the closest thing on Earth he could find to food.
Alex: Since DDT was banned, the government has been destroying remaining stockpiles. His food souce is shrinking.
Hank: Well, if this thing is hungry, let's buy him some dinner.

Purity: You imagine I care about humans just because you do?
Supergirl: I think you do care, Julia. And I care about you.
Purity: Hmm. Will you care when I tear open your bones and rip out your soft parts?
Alex: You're never gonna get that chance, because you are gonna sit in that cell until I say so.
Purity: And after, I'll open up your friend and eat her heart with the other gods.
Alex: You want to talk about insides? 'Cause you are gonna have eight different government agencies fighting over who's going to dissect you.
Supergirl: All right, let's speak outside, Agent Danvers.
Alex: [Kara ushers her out of the room] You're not a god. You're just meat and bones.

Alex: Are you sure you're okay?
Supergirl: I just got my ass handed to me by a seven foot alien gladiator. I am nowhere near okay.

Supergirl: Oh, no. More Phantoms.
Zor: [spotting a crack in the ground growing larger] And then there's that. What do we do?
Supergirl: We fight. We never give up.
Zor: [seeing the Phantoms vanish in a burst of yellow light] What was that? And why do I feel... stronger?
Supergirl: That's yellow sun energy. Which means...
Zor: What is it?
Supergirl: [spotting the Tower] That's my family. They're really here!
Zor: See? You were always right to hope.
Supergirl: [taking his arm] Come on.
[she flies up to the ship]
Alex: [inside] Kara?
[speeding in, Kara hugs her]
Alex: I got you.

Kelly: That kid is really something, isn't she?
Alex: Yeah, she is.
Kelly: We're very lucky.
Alex: Yes, we are. You know, I knew I wanted to be a mom, but I never imagined what it would be like to be with such an amazing partner.
Kelly: The world may throw us a lot of curveballs, but the one thing that I am certain about is us.
[with a whoosh, a portal opens and Nxyly appears]
Kelly: It's showtime.

Supergirl: We think that even if the courage totem seemed like an innocuous object before it was hidden...
J'onn: Because it's a magical power source, it could have evolved into a symbol of courage.
Alex: So, I have run searches on every known artifact having anything to do with courage, from early human history to present day.
Lena: And I've cross-referenced it with items that are still in existence. Coming to you... now, Brainy.
Brainiac: We apply my algorithm and we get... 64,427 possible totem locations.
Alex: Great. So even at Supergirl's speed, that would take us...
Brainiac: 32 days, two hours, and 38 minutes to check them all. Unless, of course, we hit the jackpot early.
J'onn: [Brainy's computer beeps] There's a partial facial recognition at the Museum of Science and Technology.
Brainiac: There's a potential artifact there. A slingshot. And not just any slingshot, the one David allegedly used to kill Goliath.
Supergirl: Jackpot.

Kara: Well, look what the cat dragged in.
Alex: Why is it so bright here? I mean, don't they have clouds on this Earth?
Kara: Where have you been?
Alex: Jeez.
Kara: Why didn't you come back to Joe's?
Alex: I was out.
Kara: Out? Out doing what?
Alex: Jogging.
Kara: Okay.
Alex: Fully clothed. Why?
Kara: Well, you had me so worried. You can't just disappear on another Earth.
Alex: Look, I didn't do anything that I wouldn't have done on our Earth.
Kara: Okay.
Alex: Per se.

Alex: [finding Kara and Winn in the medical suite] Hey, what are you guys doing up here?
Winn: Just talking. We're hanging out. Just being friends.
Supergirl: Thanks. I have to go. Sorry.
Winn: Yeah. Mm-hmm. I'm good. Thanks for asking.
[seeing Alex's stoic expression]
Winn: Just a normal day in the DEO. Man... nothing abnormal going on.
[backing away as she advances in an intimidating manner]
Winn: I mean, uh, Kara... Kara is... she's fine. Right? I mean, she's not totally, completely fine, like in the normal sense of the word if you know what I'm saying. You said J'onn was looking for me. I'm... I'm just gonna go ahead and tell you everything.

Maggie: I'm sorry. So sorry. I was too busy nursing my old wounds, and I forgot to look at the gorgeous woman in front of me and consider her feelings. You deserved all of this as a girl, the pomp and the fuss. And you deserve an amazing romance with the woman who is absolutely crazy about you.
Alex: Don't you hate all this?
Maggie: Alex, you're the one woman that could make me like Valentine's Day.

Alex: Isn't that your cue?

Kelly: I was engaged.
Alex: James never mentioned that.
Kelly: Yeah, well, he didn't know. No one did. Because I was in love with my sergeant. And we couldn't be out while serving abroad.
Alex: What happened?
Kelly: She died while on patrol. And I couldn't mourn her. I was just numb. Alone in my pain. And I, um... I didn't face it until I was back stateside a few months later. I thought that wound would never heal. And then I got her farewell note. Service members send them sometimes before tours of duty in case they don't come back home. I never thought that I'd have to read hers. She said that she had every faith that I would find another person who would make me smile. And so will you. You will get a second chance at everything. Don't lose hope. Today, this is absolutely a deep wound. But someday, it'll be a faded scar.

Samantha: So, what do you see?
Alex: Nothing.
Samantha: Is that a good thing?
Alex: Well, it's neither good nor bad. It just means that whatever's causing the blackouts isn't showing up on the images.
Samantha: Okay. So where do we go from here?
Alex: We send the images to an expert along with some blood work.

Supergirl: Mom, this is Alex.
Alura: [hugging her] Oh!
Alex: I...
Alura: You and your family rescued my daughter. I am indebted to you.
Alex: Well, sometimes I think she's the one that rescued us.

Supergirl: J'onn, you knew?
J'onn: I didn't wanna believe it was getting worse. My father has been using a Martian practice called Ta'ar Ka'riq to move his memories and emotions from the decaying parts of his mind to the healthy parts. But it takes tremendous amounts of energy. Sometimes psychic bleeds can happen. And the more powerful the Martian, the more powerful the bleed. Other psychic species, like Kalanorians, would be the first to feel the effects. When an attack intensifies, it can affect anyone in close proximity, and not just other psychics. I brought M'yrnn to the DEO because I... felt I could put a shield over this place and keep you all safe, but... my father's angry about what's happening to his mind. And his aggression was being funneled into all of you.
Alex: Can't you help him with the dampening technology?
J'onn: He has relied on his mind his entire life. First as a theologian, then as a prisoner. It's what kept him alive for 300 years. The White Martians may have had him locked in a cage, but he was still free. This technology would make him reliant on me. It would strip him of the one thing the White Martians never could. His independence, his, um... his dignity.
Alex: I remember sitting in, uh... in my kitchen when my mom got the call that my grandmother drove through a traffic light. By the grace of God, nobody was hurt. That was one of the hardest things my mom had to do, taking away her keys. She told my mom off, and she cried. Suddenly she's in this position she's never been in before. She's an adult being treated like a child. And it was ugly, and painful. But it's what had to be done. For her protection. For everyone's protection.
J'onn: I can face down the toughest adversaries without fear, but talking to my father about this... I don't wanna take away more from him than he's already lost. I just got him back. The practice of Ta'ar Ka'riq keeps him as close to the man I've always known, and I... I don't wanna give that up.
Supergirl: My uncle Jor-El used to say "The son becomes the father, and the father the son."

Kara: Are we okay?
Alex: We are okay.
Kara: Do you want to tell me what's going on?
Alex: I just thought that it would get easier. But it's not.
Kara: [sympathetically] Alex.
Alex: [taking out her phone] You know, I have... I have two speed dials on this phone. It's you and Maggie. And every day, every single day, I look at this phone, and I wanna call her. And then I want to delete her. But I can't do either because I am scared, and I am weak.
Kara: No, that's not true.
Alex: No, but, I mean, it is. Because otherwise, I would be better. And I keep... I keep willing myself to just get over it, but... I can't. And that's why I've lost hope. That's why I was angry and... and why I refused to see Julia the way that you saw her.
Kara: You know, I... I stopped believing, too. I didn't think I would ever get through the heartbreak. But guess what? I'm getting through it. And you are far stronger than I am.
Alex: See, you're always hopeful.
Kara: So are you. You were hopeful when you made the decision that you could have more. And you know what? I think you're right. I think there is another person out there for you, and I think you will be a mom. You... you will have all the things.
Alex: I'm glad you're the way that you are.
Kara: You, too.

Kara: William Dey is going to be embedded at the Tower, covering all of us for CatCo.
Lena: A reporter? At the Tower? Are you sure that's such a good idea?
Alex: We think that it would be good for the mission. We need the public support. Especially if things continue to spiral with Nxyly.
J'onn: But still, he'll have to work within our parameters. Which means keeping your identity and your connection to us off the record.
Kelly: Well... good luck tomorrow.
Nia: You won't be at the Tower?
Kelly: I have a home check with an alien orphan named Esme. I met her at Joey's group home. And she was placed with a foster family last week. Hopefully, she ends up with a family where she can really blossom.
Alex: [Kara inexplicably starts laughing] Why are you laughing?
[she starts laughing more hysterically]
Alex: Like that?
Kara: It's Nxyly. I can sense her and she's... she's really happy.

Supergirl: I x-rayed the entire city. There's no sign of her or Mitch's ship.
J'onn: When we put that anti-magic cuff on Nxyly, it made it impossible for us to track her.
Brainiac: Maybe it's not Nxyly we should be looking for. Mxy is still full of fifth-dimensional energy. The crystal is dampening his energy signature, but perhaps we can modulate the Tower sensors to isolate his specific wavelength. There might be more information on fifth-dimensional energy at the DEO's desert facility to help me build a tracker.
Supergirl: Well, we'll need Alex's retina scan to get in. I'll give you a ride.
Alex: Okay.
J'onn: [Alex checks her phone] Is everything okay?
Alex: Yeah. I was just gonna go home and check on Kelly, but, um, I'm sure she's got it covered.

Colonel: Plutonium is in short supply, but I found a store of uranium. It's en route. Uranium is less stable than plutonium. We run the risk of a bigger explosion. We need to get Jensen to an isolated area.
Alex: Or we need to find a way to contain the explosion.
Colonel: Tell me what you're thinking.
Alex: Well... an electrical force field could stop the radiation from the blast.
Colonel: Can you create one on the fly?
Alex: An improvised ionic containment? That could work.
Colonel: Spherical, to get the optimal distribution of electrons.
Alex: Like a dome. Yes, it's elegant.
Colonel: You need something of your own. Some sort of weapon.
Alex: A proton pack.
Colonel: Perhaps as a blast gun.
Alex: Agent Dox, is this something you can create?
Querl: Yes. Yes, I-I absolutely can. I-I can... I can use enforce field discs to link them together into a force field matrix. I can also outfit a gun to blast uranium...
Colonel: We get it. You're hired.
[to Alex]
Colonel: We make a good team.
Querl: It was exhilarating to watch.

Alex: [having fun with Ruby] All right, look, let me see. Oh, yes, that is amazing. I am getting you that hat. You look adorable.

Alex: You use Myriad to impose your will on the world population, not save it.
Supergirl: She's hurting. All she's experienced are people hurting each other, the same way I did. Clearly, she thinks she's doing good.
Malefic: It's true. I had long planned to destroy my brother, but Ms. Luthor said it went against her morality and stopped me.
Supergirl: Alex, she's not hurting anyone. Not even Malefic, her prisoner. I can still save her.
Alex: You don't know that.
Supergirl: Yes, I do! I'm the one who hurt her, so I'm going to fix this. Brainy, get the hologram online.

Supergirl: I should have cuffed him.
Alex: You knocked him a hundred yards into the roof that SUV. Not to mention saving my fiancée and I.
Winn: Yeah, and that truck was full of aluminum tubing, right? Which doesn't really seem like much until you use it to build an illegal nuclear centrifuge.
J'onn: This is a big win, Supergirl.
Supergirl: It's not a win until they're behind bars. Let's get this guy.

Kara: Any sign of Malific?
Alex: No. He doesn't seem to have any psychic signature, either. But we'll find him, we have to.
[notices that Kara is gorging herself with junk food]
Alex: Oh... are you all right?
Kara: [shrugs] Maybe I'm a little nervous about having lunch with Lena. The first time we're hanging out since I told her I was Supergirl.
[sighs]
Kara: I was just lying to her for *so* long.
Kara: Lena forgave you... okay? But you're gonna have to let go of the past.
Kara: I just want things to be great between us. I... I want this lunch to be...
Alex: Perfect.
Kara: The best.
Alex: And it will.
[nods]
Alex: Look, Lena wants your relationship back on track too. Look, I have to get back to the DEO. You go be perfect somewhere else.
Kara: I'll try.
Alex: Okay.

Alex: So, tomorrow Maggie and I are gonna go do the tasting for the wedding. Uh, three hours of hors d'oeuvres, and nothing but hors d'oeuvres. There's potsickers and oyster shooters, pigs in blankets. Did I mention the potstickers? Do you wanna...?
Supergirl: Uh, if I'm not busy, sure.
Alex: Well, we're all gonna meet at the bar beforehand, too, so if you want to...
Supergirl: I'll try.
Winn: [watching her leave] I mean, I thought it was bad when she skipped pizza night, but skipping free apps? I mean, come on. These are, like, the beginning of the dark days.
J'onn: Hey, come on. Grief doesn't have a deadline.
Winn: Look, I know, but I mean she goes from being little miss sunshine to... well, Alex, basically.
Alex: What? I'm not like that.
J'onn: Come on, Alex. Your unrelenting seriousness is one of your best qualities.
Alex: I'm not like that. I'm not!

Alex: Why does this place look so much like my sister's apartment?
Supergirl: Alex... I know that... this is all very strange.
Alex: [looking out the window] Oh, my god. I can see Kara's loft from here. It's like she's stalking her.
Supergirl: Kara's gonna be okay. You don't have to worry about her.
Alex: Unless you have a sister, you don't understand... this feeling.
Supergirl: I had one.
Alex: Oh. Well, then... then you know, it... it's like a piece of my heart is out there and it's just wandering around in the world, and it's on its own and I-I can't protect it. I can't protect her. And no matter what, I mean, there's always gonna be danger. But I can't always be there for her, and this is...
[crying]
Alex: This is not...
[Kara takes her hand, and Alex calms down]

Brainiac: I can't wake Nia. I think she's accessed a dream state deeper than she ever has before.
Supergirl: [realizing] Because she has the courage to. Vita told me if I failed my gauntlet, the effects would worsen.
Alex: Hey, go easy on yourself. You will pass your test.
Brainiac: And Lena and I can contain the totem's energy until you do. Alex, J'onn, you should monitor the city. There might be more incidents like the coffee shop.
J'onn: Brainy, he has turned into such a wonderful leader.
Alex: See? Come on. There's nothing to worry about. We got this.

William: I did not come here to report on the Tower's kitchen appliances.
Alex: Excuse me?
William: Why did you even allow me in here if you won't let me report on what's really going on?
J'onn: You agreed to our ground rules.
William: The situation has changed. The violence in the city is getting worse. You guys have no plan.
Supergirl: [coming in with Lena] Yes, we do. Lena is going to amplify the totem's power... so that everyone who was within Nxyly's blast radius at the arena will lose their humanity, too.
Lena: We believe that Nxyly is being infused with the compassion that she's drained from her victims. With more people affected, we think she'll get overwhelmed and then use the totem again to restore everyone's humanity.
Alex: Okay, but doing so will cause even more chaos and destruction throughout the entire city.
Supergirl: So, we'll have to spread out and try our best to keep the city safe.
Alex: Until when?
Lena: Until Nxyly's drawn out.
J'onn: If she comes out. She might not. And the longer people are affected by the totem's power, the less they seem to care about anything. This is a dangerous situation.

Ruby: That was her. I saw her face.
Alex: It looks like her, I know. I know. But I promise you, that's not your mom.
Ruby: Why should I believe you? You promised she was gonna be okay.
Alex: You're right. I didn't tell you the truth. I was hiding it to try and protect you, and I, uh... I see now that that was wrong. I give you my word that I will do everything within my power to keep you safe. And from here on out, I will always be honest with you.

Alex: Hi, Frank. Uh, the plea deal's off the table.
Frank: What? Why?
Alex: It was for your cooperation, but now we don't need it. We know that Lockwood is Agent Liberty.
Frank: Lockwood? Who?
Alex: Oh, so you're still siding with him.
[to Kara on the phone]
Alex: He's still siding with him.
Frank: Who are you talking to?
Alex: Um, listen, you know what? That's fine. But if you change your mind, just give me a call from whatever black site they send you to.
Frank: [as she reaches the door] Wait.
Alex: [she hides a smirk; after a moment] It's him.
Kara: Are you sure?
Alex: We got the bastard.

Alex: Where is Reign?
[Purity remains silent]
Alex: We have the Kryptonian crystal from your apartment, and we know that it's gonna lead to your headquarters. Where's Reign?
[she remains silent again]
Alex: You're not so chatty now, are you? That makes sense. Because I'm not your audience. I am just looking at a bug under glass.
Purity: To use your own words, you think you're smarter than me, stronger than me. You think I'm powerless to your science. I see right through you, Alex Danvers. It's a gift I have, to see inside people, to know them. You want to hurt me because you're hurt. You want me weak because you're weak. Someone cut something out of you, and you feel the hole every day. A hole that you dug in yourself. And it's not getting any better now, is it?
Supergirl: Okay. All right, all right. We're done here.
Alex: Where is Reign?
Purity: See the rage? That's your loneliness.
Alex: Shut your mouth!
Supergirl: [trying to usher her out] Let's go.
Purity: You had your chance at happiness and you threw it away.
Supergirl: [pushing her out] Alex.
Purity: And now you're just a broken little doll.

Supergirl: It's no secret that I struggled when you got here.
Mon: Yeah, you weren't the only one.
Supergirl: But I can honestly say now, truthfully... I'm really happy I got to see you again. Witnessed the... the man you've become.
Mon: It meant the world to me to be back here with you. And with, uh... with everyone. To fight by your side.
Supergirl: I'm really gonna miss your friendship.
Alex: Kara, there's been an attack at Lena's penthouse.
Mon: [she turns to look at him] Go.

Alex: [after shooting down the alien that impersonated her, holding up the firearm she got in Outer Space:] Have I mentioned how much I love my new gun?

Ruby: It was really fun hanging out with you today.
Alex: It was, wasn't it? I don't know how I would have handled this without you here. I mean, normally, I'd lean on my sister. But, well, she's out of town.
Ruby: Well, I can sub for her anytime.

Alex: [venting about Lockwood's protection detail] I don't know what I should do. Especially when I should be out there tracking down Manchester and the Elite, who I'm pretty sure are still targeting him.
Kara: Well, I'm sure Supergirl will find them, and before that rally, so you don't have to worry about Lockwood.
Alex: Yeah, but how can I, with a clear conscience, protect a man who is causing so much pain in the world?
Kara: You're a hero, Alex. Heroes make tough decisions.
Alex: Well, that's not very helpful.
Kara: I mean, well, it's your job, right?
Alex: Right.
Kara: You keep people safe. And like it or not, protecting Lockwood at that rally will keep all of those people safe. Human and aliens.
Alex: [sighing in disgust] Ugh.
Kara: I thought that was good advice. I don't know.
Alex: Well, it is. It is. It's just exactly what Haley said.

Winn: Okay, so there was one person who came into contact with everybody who got sick at the mayor's office. Adelaide Swanson, an administrator known for her famous lemon poppy seed cookies.
Alex: A Worldkiller that bakes cookies. That's unexpected.
Supergirl: Wait, let me see.
[Winn shows her Adelaide's picture, and Kara recognizes her]
Supergirl: Yeah. Yeah, I saw her at City Hall. She looked... well, she looked terrified. Just like Julia.

Hank: I know you just started working here again, but to be clear, our job here at the DEO is to catch aliens, not let them escape.
Supergirl: How 'bout you just get off my back for once, Hank?
Alex: Supergirl.
Hank: I thought we were in a good place here.
Supergirl: We're in a good place, when I do what I'm told. When I don't, you come down on me. I am tired of it! You want to catch the K'hund, go try it yourself! You're just as strong as me, if you wanted to be.
Alex: You know how dangerous that is for him.
Supergirl: And it's not dangerous for me too? Every Kryptonian on this planet wants to kill me except my cousin. I have to live with that. And he could, too!

Brian: I wish I had what you two have.
Alex: Go away, Brian.
Maggie: Get out of here.

Querl: Oh, my. A radiation-controlled proto-environment housed in a vacuum-sealed, mechanical exoskeleton contained in a spring-loaded two-millimeter disc.
Lena: Supergirl is gonna have to stay inside this until we figure out how to detoxify the atmosphere.
Querl: Which we have no idea how to do.
J'onn: So this is indefinite confinement?
Alex: We have no other choice, so, do it.

Alex: I just called off my engagement.
Sara: Ooh.
Alex: Yeah. So being here, really brings up a lot.
Sara: What, you catch him cheating?
Alex: Mm-mm. Her. It wasn't anything like that. We just wanted different things, you know? Wish I had realized that sooner. Make the break before later came around.
Sara: So, let me guess. Being at the rehearsal dinner for the world's most perfect couple is probably the last place you wanna be.
Alex: It stings a little, yeah.

Querl: At first I found no vehicle registered to our suspects, and I thought perhaps Spence was lying. Which would be so like him. But then I found this...
[showing them his tablet]
Querl: Originally registered to Mrs. Veronica "Roni" Miller, now deceased. The title has then passed to Roberta Miller, Jerry Miller's little sister.
Alex: Good work. All right, let's move, people. Hey, you wanna take advantage while the cat's away and roll with? With all this rage going on, we could use a man of peace.
J'onn: Sure. You seem better.
Alex: I am. Thanks to you.

J'onn: I've located Lex's satellites. Twelve of them orbiting the Earth. Each armed with Claymore cannons to fire on hard targets should any one of them be tampered with. It would appear the only way to shut them down would be to shut them all down at the same time.
Supergirl: But only four of us can fly.
Brainiac: Synchronizing our movements, too, could prove impossible.
M'gann: We could shut it down with the Dorkri Surth-Uh.
Alex: The what?
M'gann: A Martian ritual which translates to "the binding".
Supergirl: And you could use this on the satellites?
J'onn: It would require M'gann and I to join our minds, synchronize our thoughts. We could create a web of psychic energy that we could literally bind onto things and move them in unison.
M'gann: We can do it.
Alex: Okay, but even if you stopped the satellites, half the people out there are still gonna be brainwashed by Lex.
Supergirl: Lena, if you had the code Lex used, could you reverse it using Myriad?
Lena: Myriad. Y-Yes, but... you'd trust me? Even after everything?
Supergirl: You want to help people. Whatever else has happened, I know what's in your heart.

J'onn: According to the manifest, that truck was carrying over 5,000 pounds of ammonium nitrate.
Supergirl: That much explosive could level a 50-story building.
Alex: Well, we can use the residue that we found to track the Obscuran energy signature and, hopefully, the bombmakers.
[Kelly enters]
Alex: Hey. Are you okay?
Kelly: The alien orphan Joey that I was telling you about?
Alex: Yeah.
Kelly: I'm worried. The poor kid's been acting out because he believes his brother is overusing his EMP powers at his work-release program at the Van Kull Prison.
Supergirl: You mean the Second Chances program? I did an article on that when it first started.
Kelly: That's why I'm here. Joey says that if his brother Orlando uses his powers too much, he could die.
Supergirl: When I interviewed the warden, the program seemed amazing. They contracted with a clothing manufacturer to give jobs to incarcerated workers. From what I saw, they were treated really well.
Alex: So, if Orlando's making clothing, then why would he need to use his EMP powers? Is it because he's being forced to? Or maybe he's using them for some self-serving purpose?
Kelly: Either way, something bad is happening to Orlando, and it's affecting Joey. I need to find out. Can you help me get in to talk to the warden?
Supergirl: Yeah, of course. Can you guys handle the truck robberies?
J'onn: Sure. If we discover something, we'll call.

Alex: Guard Ben Lockwood? You can't be serious.
Colonel: The president doesn't joke.
Alex: Lockwood is a murderer. The only ones that should be watching over him are prison guards.
Colonel: Director, you swore to keep this country safe. Protecting Ben Lockwood does just that. Now, extremists are out to kill him. And if they succeed, we will have a revolution on our hands.
Alex: There are other qualified agents.
Colonel: No one has more experience dealing with hostile extraterrestrials than you. And the president knows it. If you've got an issue doing your job, you need to take it up with him.
Ben: [approaching as Haley leaves] Well, looks like you're stuck with me. Press conference at 10:00. Shall we?

Alex: Based on my tests, whatever this bird had, it wasn't transmittable. Not even from bird to bird. So it-it had to have come in contact with Pestilence herself.
Imra: It might not be contagious yet, but if Pestilence gets stronger, even half the strength of the Blight, the entire city would fall ill in a matter of days.
Supergirl: But we won't let her get stronger.
Mon: Now, remember, the cure is written in our DNA.
Imra: With Brainy's help, we'll be able to extract it, weaponize it, and use it to kill Pestilence before she ever becomes the Blight.
Supergirl: Whoa! Whoa, whoa, whoa. We're not killing anyone. We-we got too aggressive with Purity, and that's when things got worse. I'm not making the same mistake twice. There is a human side to Pestilence. We're gonna find her, and we're going to save her.
Imra: We came here to end the threat to our time. And that means ending her life in this time.
Supergirl: It's just not how we operate.
Imra: That's not how I ususally operate, but these are extreme circumstances.

J'onn: I know things have been difficult for you since leaving the DEO. Life can be challenging when there's no clear path.
Alex: Oh, no. No, no, no, I have a clear path. Okay? It's stop Lex Luthor from traipsing around the world just cashing in on the goodwill that he never earned, and get my life back.

Samantha: Hey.
Alex: Hey, she's alive.
Samantha: Hi, baby. I missed you.
Ruby: Missed you, too.
Samantha: How'd it go?
Alex: A total disaster. I mean, what a nightmare of a kid you've raised.
Samantha: Oh, I know. She's rough, right?

Colonel: Supergirl!
Alex: Colonel. I thought you were in Washington.
Colonel: Are you insane? You brought an enemy combatant into the DEO?
Alex: No, she's here because the real enemies are on the way. We were right.
Supergirl: A copy of me attacked the White House. A clone, more or less.
Alex: The president knew, too. Baker's been working for Lex Luthor. And now Luthor is planning on attacking the U.S.
Colonel: Then I guess that's why we should work together on this.

Querl: I want to remind you again, this is liable to be quite painful. Until we calibrate the Phantom Zone projector to lock onto a Martian energy signature, regardless of the Martian's density, so they can't phase through it.
J'onn: I'm ready when you are.
Querl: Commence phasing at 25%.
[as Brainy turns it on, J'onn groans in pain]
Querl: [putting it down] Sprock, sprock, sprock.
J'onn: I'm okay. I'm okay.
Lena: What went wrong?
Querl: It was too much. Too much, too much.
Lena: I'm almost done reinforcing the psychic inhibitors, so I can help you, if you want it.
Alex: [entering] I heard the scream. What happened?
Querl: [muttering as he works] How, how...
Alex: Brainy?
Querl: Yeah, I'm... I'll figure it out, all right? I'll f... figure it all out.
Alex: I'm sorry, J'onn, we need all of our options on the table. I'm prepping the blaster.

Supergirl: I was mad before, about Earth birthday.
Alex: I knew it. I owe you an apology. I shouldn't have bailed on you.
Supergirl: Just... hurt my feelings.
Alex: I know. Look... it wasn't fair. Look, I don't want to feel bad for wanting to spend time with Maggie.
Supergirl: You shouldn't. That's a good thing. I just... ever since I've been on Earth, I don't know what life is like without you there all the time. I... I felt that changing, and... and it just... just... was scary. When my parents put me in that pod on Krypton, I... I don't think I realized what was actually happening. I... I didn't know that I was saying goodbye to them forever. It's just I've been abandoned before and I didn't want to be abandoned again.
Alex: I will never abandon you.

Alex: You promised Kara that you'd be nicer when her cousin was around.
J'onn: I said I would try.
Winn: "Do or do not. There is no try."
J'onn: Exactly how bad do you want this job, Mr. Schott?

Supergirl: So, remember, Esme, I'm an alien just like you, only I'm a Kryptonian, and the thing about Kryptonians is we get our powers when there's a yellow sun around, like there is here on Earth. We can fly. We have heat vision, which some people might think is scary, but let me tell you a secret. It really comes in handy when you want to make a cup of hot chocolate. We also have this thing called super-hearing, which can get a little overwhelming, but you just have to take it slow. Do you want to try?
[Esme nods]
Supergirl: All right. Okay, I want you to close your eyes...
[Esme does]
Supergirl: ...take a big, deep breath...
[demonstrating]
Supergirl: ... and listen really closely to Alex's heartbeat. Do you hear that?
Esme: Yes, her heart is beating so fast.
[hearing a jackhammer drilling]
Esme: Ow! That hurt!
Alex: Oh, hey, it's... it's okay. You're okay, you're okay.
Supergirl: It's just some construction outside. It's all right.
Alex: Just... just don't let it distract you, okay? Just keep breathing...
[inhaling]
Alex: ... and search for something new. Okay? Okay.
Supergirl: [listening to wings flapping] Do you hear that?
Esme: Yes.
Supergirl: That is the sound of a butterfly flapping its wings. That's one of my favorites.
Esme: [hearing a car crash] What was that? Make it stop.
Alex: Just relax. All right? I just want you to just, um, push through and focus on what you want to hear, okay? You-you really need to be able to control these powers. And-And I feel like if you... if really try, you're gonna get it. Okay?
[Esme nods]
Alex: Okay, okay. You're doing great.
Supergirl: Deep breath, try again.
Esme: [to Alex after hearing various scary noises] Why'd you make me listen to that? You're horrible!
[she runs out]
Alex: I, uh... I'll-I'll go after her.

Alex: We do have some ground rules.
William: I don't let my sources dictate what I write. I'm sorry.
Supergirl: No, it's... it's nothing like that, William. We're never gonna ask you to lie. Only that you help us protect the people of National City by keeping private some things that may jeopardize our missions. Trust me, I believe in a free press more than you know.
William: Good to hear. So, how does this work?
Alex: Well, you can't disclose the location of the Tower, and you can't ID the Super Friends or even try to learn their identities. Not even my sister Kara knows.
J'onn: If you do, I'll wipe your mind.
Dreamer: [William chuckles, not sure if he's serious] He'll do it.
Alex: Yeah.
Supergirl: Oh, and before you file any story, just run it by one of us, please.

Imra: The worst moment of my life was watching my sister die. But now, because of your help, I have faith that I'l see her again.
Winn: [entering] Hey, Alex, you gotta see what, uh, Brainy just got me. Space dirt ain't got nothing on this baby.
Alex: Oh... the nerdfest beckons.

Alex: He all but admitted it. He took all those girls. All seven. Even the Bizarro you.
Hank: Is that what we're calling it?
Supergirl: Another Catco trademark.

Supergirl: So this is the team.
Alex: Yes, Lena has joined us.
Supergirl: Uh, so why are we in the 'burbs?
Lena: Well, I realized that Eve is in love with Lex.
Supergirl: Crazy Lex-girlfriend.
Alex: Which indicates her heart drives her actions.
Lena: And she spoke fondly of an elderly aunt, her only family in the city.
Alex: Mary Tessmacher. This is her house. Eve used to visit every Sunday.
Supergirl: So Eve might still be in contact with her. Good lead.

Alex: What am I gonna do with Kelly? I mean, how... how am I supposed to explain all this?
Lena: Kelly doesn't know that Kara is Supergirl?
[Alex shakes her head, and Lena gives her a comforting hug]

Kara: So, why are you scarfing the lo mein?
Alex: Brainy. Oh, my god. I'm sorry, but everything... everything he does just infuriates me. I know it's mean, but it's just... ugh, I can't help it.
Kara: He's new to this time period. It's a big adjustment. I'm sure it's been hard. Try to go easy on him.
Alex: I'll try.

J'onn: [playing Charades] That doesn't count.
M'yrnn: Why?
J'onn: Because you're shape-shifting, dad.
M'yrnn: [dressed like an astronaut] Oh.
[he shape-shifts back to normal]
M'yrnn: Human games have so many rules.
Kara: He didn't break any of the rules.
Alex: It's... you know what? It's fine. Just let him have it. We're slaughtering 'em, anyway.
Winn: [he laughs] Hey, the Martian Man-Father strikes again.
Kara: Martian Man-Father?
Winn: Fine. The Martian Dad Hunter.

J'onn: I, uh, thought you might be re-heating, so I brought wings.
Kara: Oh, come on.
Alex: Oh, thank god.
[to Kara]
Alex: Uh, no offense.
Kara: Offense taken.

M'yrnn: The time has come for us to perform the Reach.
Alex: The Reach?
M'yrnn: An ancient rite on Mars. The elder generation passes down their memories, their knowledge, all the experiences of their life, before they pass.
J'onn: You are not passing anytime soon, Father. You are better.
M'yrnn: I am not. And if we don't begin the Reach before the beginning of my end, all of my Mars memories will be lost forever.
J'onn: Alex, will you please tell my father he's nowhere near his end?
[she doesn't know what to say]
J'onn: Alex, please tell him.
Alex: J'onn, that's not my place to say.

Alex: It is not a personal attack on your taste.
Maggie: Oh, I wasn't even thinking that until you just suggested it.
Alex: It's a fact! Okay? Winn.
Winn: Hmm?
Alex: Back me up.
Winn: I don't think I should get involved.
Maggie: Because you're on my side, aren't you?
Alex: Oh, yeah, right.
Winn: Well...
Alex: What? Wait... Winn, how could... I saved your life!
Winn: Yeah, but, like, so has everybody else here.

Alex: Esme, these are my co-workers. This is Lena, and this is William, and this is Brainy. Everyone, meet Esme.
Lena: Hello, Esme. It's very good to meet you.
Esme: You're very pretty.
Lena: Thank you. So are you.
Alex: Hey, uh, I was wondering, Brainy, if you could spare a little bit of time to help me out. Um, Esme is a Dyralian, and Kelly and I are looking to get her to feel a little more comfortable with her mimic powers. Um, off the record.
William: Of course.
Brainiac: Well, lucky for you, I used to be old friends with a Dyralian. This one time, the Dyralian and I were socializing with a Winathian friend of ours, and the Dyralian unknowingly taps into the Winathian's ability to de-power the gravity in the room. It took us three hours to get down from the ceiling.
Esme: He's funny.
Brainiac: [leading her and Alex onto the elevator] Tell me, how familiar are you with Coluan quantum mechanics? Hmm? Have you been trained in hand-to-hand combat?

Alex: Brainy, will you be my wingman?
Brainiac: It would be my utmost pleasure.

Lena: Sam, your blood cells have mutated. Before, they presented as human. But now, they are transforming back into their natural state, which is Kryptonian.
Ruby: Like Supergirl? Isn't that good?
Samantha: No, I don't feel stronger. I've never felt weaker.
Lena: That's because your blood cells are oxygen-deprived. They're shrinking. In fact, they look like they're becoming dormant.
Samantha: We need to fix this. I have not fought this hard to lose now.
Lena: We will.

Alex: You need boundaries.
Supergirl: I can't help it. When someone needs help, I'll help them!
Alex: I get that. As Supergirl. But Kara, you don't need to save everyone all the time.

William: How did Kara and Nia develop such close relationships with the Martian head of the former DEO?
Alex: Let's just say they have a friend in common.
William: [surprised to see her] Alex, you're, uh...
J'onn: My partner in crime.
Alex: Welcome to the Tower.

Hank: I am not Hank Henshaw. He died the same night as your father. The DEO had been pursuing an alien for months. Not one of Fort Rozz prisoners, but an innocent one that was stranded on this planet. With the help of your father, the DEO tracked the alien to a remote location in Peru. Henshaw led the squadron sent to terminate him.
Alex: My father would never have been part of that mission.
Hank: You're right. Jeremiah Danvers was a good man. He realized the alien we were hunting was no threat. He was a refugee, like your sister. Sole survivor of a lost world. Your father tried to stop the mission, but Henshaw was obsessed. He finally trapped the alien was hunting for so long. So, Jeremiah made the ultimate sacrifice. He gave his life to save that alien. Your father died a hero.
Alex: That alien... Is that you? But how are you him?
Hank: I am a shape shifter. When Hank Henshaw died, I assumed his identity to reform the DEO. But I also made your father a promise, that I would take care of his daughter. I recruited you so that I would honor that promise and protect you as if you were my own child.
Alex: If you're not Hank Henshaw, who are you?
[transforms into his martian shape]
J'onn: I am the sole survivor of my planet. The Last Son of Mars. My name is J'onn J'onzz.

Winn: I got our girl. Gayle Marsh, law-abiding citizen of Skokie, Illinois until one day she snapped and went on a bank robbing spree. Uh, let's see... authorities nicknamed her "Psi" after a string of "psi"cologically enhanced robberies which ravaged a series of small-town banks throughout the Midwest a couple of months ago.
Alex: Where do we go from here?
Winn: Well, now that we know a little bit more, I thought I might start trying to adapt our psychic dampening technology to stop her.
J'onn: Good work, Agent Schott.
Winn: I still love it when he calls me that.

J'onn: How specifically do we get to this place in time?
Brainiac: Well, based on my survey of satellite imagery from 2009 and the trajectory of the meteor, I was able to predict Kara's point of contact. After running those figures through 3-D modeling, I produced a rendering of the debris field, and by overlaying that with geologic radiation emissions of that same night, plus Kara's own biological markers, I was able to pinpoint the exact location of Kara's DNA.
[Alex stares blankly]
Brainiac: The high school's baseball diamond center field. Nia and I depart after I gather my things.
Nia: Alex, what's this business about "the luckiest town in America"?
Alex: When I left for college, Kara and her boyfriend Kenny appointed themselves the town's Scooby-Duo. They were saving cats from trees and kids from wells, that sort of thing, and the, uh, town got quite the reputation.
J'onn: I thought Kenny Li was killed when you were in high school. The sheriff was running a drug ring, and he got caught up.
Alex: No, that's one of those old world/new world differences. In this world, Kenny never got killed.
J'onn: That suggests there could be other differences. Maybe I should come with you.
Brainiac: Absolutely not! As anyone who's ever seen "Back to the Future" knows, in 2009, you or you
[pointing to J'onn and Alex]
Brainiac: could both run into your past selves and thereby disrupt the continuum of space-time. The only people who can go on this mission are Nia and myself.
Alex: Okay, fine. But you're going to my past. Don't. Mess. It up.

Dr. Kaplan: Mr. Olsen is stable. We were able to remove a significant amount of shrapnel from around his cervical vertebra, but I have never seen a normal bullet cause this much damage. We've placed him in a medically-induced coma.
Alex: To reduce swelling, of course.
Dr. Kaplan: There are going to be some decisions to make. Who is next of kin?
Alex: Well, there's... there's no family present, but I can act as next of kin.
Dr. Kaplan: We need a family member.
Alex: Look, I'm FBI, and I have extensive medical training...
Dr. Kaplan: Sorry, without a court order...
Kelly: [approaching] I'm next of kin. Sorry, I just got off a red-eye. I'm Kelly Olsen, James' sister.

Alex: Ooh! Your eye. What happened to you?
Thomas: Oh. I was spreading the truth to my fellow inmates. They would have preferred I lied.
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?
Thomas: Beat her? She's already won.
Alex: No. Supergirl's still alive.
Thomas: 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.
Thomas: Supergirl lost so that Reign can prepare us for what comes next.
Alex: Never underestimate Supergirl.

Supergirl: Did you know about my mom? That she was the one who locked up all those aliens?
Alex: It's why I didn't want you going out there, showing yourself. Showing this. The Fort Rozz escapees would give anything to get revenge on your mother, and the only way that they can do that now is to hurt you. I'm trying to protect you.
Supergirl: You were right. The world doesn't need me.

Maxwell: The Kryptonians were using Myriad for mind control because the frequency penetrates neural tissue. Now they're increasing the frequency. Exponentially. We're talking terahertz jumps. That's like using an Uzi on a mosquito.
Alex: And we're the mosquito.
Maxwell: Once the wave reaches it's full potential, the electromagnetic energy will create enough pressure to...
[sighs wearily]
Supergirl: ...to kill every human on the planet, like you said. I need to tell James and Winn.
[starts leaving]
Maxwell: [sneering at her] Let's not get our cape in a bunch.
Lucy: He's right. Telling them wouldn't do us any good right now.
Alex: How long do we have?
Maxwell: Four hours. I usually love a good countdown, but this is bad. This is really bad.
Lucy: Think you can find the source so we can shut it down?
Maxwell: You're lucky I work well under pressure.

Alex: Hey.
[seeing Kara remove a burned pan from the oven]
Alex: Oh, my. Um, I don't think you can cook a turkey four different times.
Kara: It's accumulating flavor.

Esme: Kara!
Supergirl: Hey, bud.
[getting hugged]
Supergirl: Ooh! Hey, I heard you had some trouble at school today. Are you okay?
Alex: Um... her powers got a little out of hand, so we're just gonna run some tests and get to the bottom of it.
Supergirl: I'm sorry, Esme. My powers got a little overwhelming at times too when I was little, but it gets better, I promise.

J'onn: You found the transmatter terminus?
Winn: Yeah. Ionization trail leads to the Arcturus system, planet 51 arc B.
J'onn: That's Maaldoria. The heart of the intergalactic slave trade.
Alex: That's bad.
J'onn: I'm afraid it gets worse.
Alex: Define "worse".
J'onn: Arcturus is a red sun.
Alex: So she won't have any of her powers.

Querl: I checked all the cams along the boulevards from 3rd Street to 86th for detection of Mercy.
Alex: And?
Querl: Nada. Not one lead.

Alex: I know you're mad and you're hurt. I wanted to tell you every single day.
Supergirl: No, instead, you told me every single day not to be who I really am.
Alex: You have to listen to me.
Supergirl: I can't. This kind of just feels like one big coincidence, doesn't it? You working here, hunting down aliens, me being one? I can't help but think the real reason you were recruited was because of me.
Alex: They recruited me because my background in bio-engineering makes me an expert on alien physiology. And, yeah, it helps that I shared a bathroom with one.
Supergirl: I'm leaving now. Unless you wanna try and stop me. Which I wouldn't.

President: I can think of no better time than the present to extend our hand in friendship.
J'onn: Even if that hand might get bitten off?
President: One has to have hope.
J'onn: What if it's false hope?
President: It's hope, J'onn. How can it be false?
Supergirl: Did you hear that? That was like a legit quote. People are going to quote her.
[the other two look at her incredulously]
Supergirl: Okay, well, I have to go. I'm conducting my very first interview as a reporter. Just... call me if she says anything else cool, okay?
[goes off enthusiastically]
Alex: What do you think?
J'onn: I think hope isn't gonna catch our would-be assassin.

Alex: [with Otis in custody at the DEO] You can act as tough as you want, but you are gonna tell us where Mercy went. And when you do, you're gonna wish you had done it sooner.

Hank: Looks like your masked kidnapper was using advanced extra-terrestrial weaponry.
Alex: Well, the big question is, where did he take our target?
Hank: And why?
Supergirl: Maybe he had some beef he needed to settle.
[sighs]
Supergirl: Since when don't you call me?
Hank: I thought it might be a good idea to give you some time off.
Supergirl: [still angrily fuming] When I need time off, I'll fill out a request form from HR. Until then, if there's a dangerous alien to catch, I'd like to be included. Sir.

Alex: All right, team, listen up. As you may have heard by now, two of our agents have turned against us, against the very thing that this agency stands for, and that is to protect this planet from all threats. And that's from humans and aliens alike. So if, at any point, you find yourself wavering, I want you to take a moment and look around and remember why you signed up. We'll lean on each other, like we always have. I believe in the DEO, because I believe in every one of you.

Alex: Hey, I have to show you something.
Supergirl: Uh, okay, in a minute. Brainy, I need you to track...
Querl: Missing alien fission rods? Already on it.
Supergirl: Great. And I need to track any rogue cargo ship...
Ben: [Alex shows Kara her tablet] Ladies and gentlemen, you are watching "The Lockdown with Ben Lockwood."
Supergirl: What is that man doing on TV?
Alex: I told you I needed to show you something.

Killer: You know, Diggle can monitor the sorry sacks from upstairs. Why don't you take the night off?
Alex: That's okay. I still have some work to do.
Killer: You know, that's the third time in just as many weeks I've told you to go home and you've turned me down. You know, this sorry little pelt's really bringing me down. So why don't you wanna go home? Boyfriend troubles?
Alex: No.
Kara: [in her cell] Boyfriend?

Alex: Where did you get all that stuff?
Querl: The comic book store on Excelsior.
Alex: Oh, that's right down the street from Winn's old apartment. And that cardigan, Winn has the same one.
Querl: Does he?

Alex: Lena's working with the government on an experimental drug that could heal James entirely.
Kelly: Okay. Why does that sound too good to be true?
Alex: Because it's not ready yet. But I spoke to her, and she said that she just needs a few more hours to render the drug non-lethal.
Kelly: You're proposing that we hold off on James' surgery, risking his life for hours, only to administer a drug that might still kill him?
Alex: The operation is gonna be invasive, and it's gonna be traumatic to James' entire system. He will be lucky if paralysis is his only after-effect. You haven't seen Lena work. I have watched her do incredible and impossible things.
Kelly: I understand that you trust this woman, but I don't know her. All I know is that she and James had a messy break-up, and that her family has done some terrible things, many of them to my brother.
Alex: Those things have nothing to do with Lena.
Kelly: That doesn't mean I'm willing to put my brother's life in her hands.
Alex: I just want what's best for James.
Kelly: So do I.

Alex: I know you're upset about earlier, but I really... I just want you and Kara to get along.
Maggie: Kara and I get along great. It's Supergirl that I sometimes have trouble with.
Alex: Okay, just keep trying. Okay?
Maggie: Okay, for you, yeah.
Alex: Great.
Maggie: [Alex starts to put on her coat] Where are you going?
Alex: To catch up with Kara and tell her to try, too. She's just as stubborn as you are.

Dreamer: One sample of Kara blood fresh out of Midvale.
Alex: Ah! Finally.
Brainiac: Why, yes. We did just traverse time and space to get this. No big deal.
Alex: And thanks to you, we now have the last piece of our rescue mission.
Brainiac: Ah.
Dreamer: Wait. How long we were gone?
Kelly: About three days.
Brainiac: Three days? Sprock! I am a terrible time traveler.
Lena: Well, we put the time to good use. We're now fully equipped for the Phantom Zone.
J'onn: And M'gann is already patrolling to protect National City in our absence. Everything is ready to go.
Brainiac: All right, well, give me a moment to update the Legion ship so we're not relying on parts 3D-printed in 2009.
J'onn: That won't be necessary.
[pressing a button on the side of a table]
J'onn: When I first acquired the Tower, I installed some... upgrades.
Dreamer: The Tower is a ship.
Alex: I love Martian technology.

J'onn: Impressive. It took you less than two minutes to get that information.
Alex: How did you learn to speak dude-bro?
Querl: The same way they did. The movies.
Alex: Well, thank you. Both of you. For everything.
J'onn: Yeah.
Alex: Now let's catch these guys before they can do any more damage.

Supergirl: Winn, you're gonna have to tell me how to shut it down.
[she gasps and falls to the floor]
Olivia: What's wrong with her?
Thomas: Don't worry. This is all part of Rao's plan.
Supergirl: Winn. Winn!
Winn: Supergirl, what's happening?
Supergirl: It's...
[she scans the probe and sees a container of green]
Supergirl: ...kryptonite. Kryptonite!
Hank: Alex, something went wrong.
Alex: Yeah, I heard. We need to stop this game.
Guard: We got a packed house, Agent Danvers. You yell "bomb" out here, people are gonna get trampled.

Imra: Are you okay?
Alex: Considering my tibia's been snapped in half?
Mon: And what about Reign?
J'onn: She shrugged off that kryptonite like it was nothing.
Alex: [Brainiac tightens a leg brace] Ahh! Yes, thanks. That's good.
[to the others]
Alex: The same amount incapacitated Kara.
Mon: So why was Reign resistant?
J'onn: Maybe she's more than just Kryptonian.
Alex: No, the soil did hurt her, just... not enough.
J'onn: You have a plan?
Alex: Concentrate it. We'll put it straight in her bloodstream. Jugular should work.
Winn: Ah. One... one small hiccup. Uh, who would be strong enough to hit her with the syringe?

Kelly: I picked the safe option. This isn't supposed to happen when you pick the safe option.
Alex: Kelly, look, no one could've predicted that this was gonna happen. You made the best decision that you could for your brother, and Lena's drug wasn't ready then. But it's ready now.
[seeing she's still reluctant]
Alex: Now, look, I-I know you have a thousand reasons to not trust Lena Luthor, but I'm not asking you to trust her. I am asking that you trust me.
Kelly: Let's do it.

Alex: Hey, what are you doing? You should be resting.
Supergirl: You know, when I made a toast to the sunshine, I didn't realize how apt that was. But I'm fully charged from the sunlamps, and I'm ready to get out there and take down Parasite.
[seeing her face]
Supergirl: I'm not going out there, am I?
Alex: We both know the danger that Parasite poses.
Supergirl: That he can kill me and get supercharged at the same time? Yes, I-I get it. But that doesn't mean I don't wanna go out there and fight him.
Alex: I know you're frustrated by this.
Supergirl: No, no. It's okay, Alex, since most people only have one way to fight for justice. But luckily, I have two.
Alex: Power of the press.
Supergirl: I'll write and file my article, but if there's any other situation, alien or otherwise...
Alex: I know who to call.

Alex: Did Malefic have any advice about getting her back?
J'onn: Unfortunately not. He was only able to find Midnight in the Phantom Zone because he knew her exact location. He did tell me about someone who once mounted a rescue mission there, though.
Alex: Well, we need to get to them, now.
J'onn: M'gann's already looking for him.
Alex: J'onn, I need my sister. Hey, the people out there... the... Nia covered for her at CatCo, but everyone else, they need to know that she's still around, that she's protecting people.
J'onn: You are not your sister, but you're every part a hero as she is. I've seen that every day I've spent with you. And I saw it today, when you summoned the strength and belief in yourself to take down Lex Luthor. In fact, you remind me of a colleague I once had on Mars called N'orr Cott. We were a team. Every time I put criminals away, she would always stand guard in case of a surprise escape or an ambush. She had patience, courage and commitment, just like you. We called her Sentinel. I want to show you something.
[showing her a stamped bar of silver]
J'onn: This was her symbol, and now I think it should be yours.
Alex: [trying it out] Sentinel. I like that.
J'onn: We will get her back. Until then, together we will keep this city safe.

Alex: Last year, she was mad at me for you not dating enough. Okay? I can't even imagine what she's gonna do to me for you coming out as Supergirl.
Kara: She seemed fine on the phone. At least she's making pie.

Ruby: I could definitely be an astronaut.
Alex: Mm. I could see that. You know, once you get past your motion-sickness thing, I think you'll be golden.
Ruby: That's funny. 'Cause I never got motion sickness until you started driving me around.

J'onn: These are the plans that Nxyly had Dr. Raab build to jumpstart her magic with Supergirl's energy.
Brainiac: Looks like it could be reverse-engineered.
Nia: The trick will be finding a way to keep the device locked on Nxyly.
Alex: Well, I have a fix for that. We modify a DEO power-dampener into a cuff that Nxyly can't unlock.
Supergirl: This is great. We could do this.
Brainiac: Not yet. The re-engineered device will need a constant magical power source.
Mr. Mxyzptlk: Or... we hit her with this.
Supergirl: [he holds up the Phantom Zone projector] Ahh!
Alex: [standing in front of her protectively] No!
Brainiac: The Phantom Zone projector.
J'onn: [taking it away] Whoa! Whoa, whoa, whoa. No, no.
Mr. Mxyzptlk: From what I understand, one blast from that gal will render her powerless and send her back to from whence she came. All in favor, say aye.
Supergirl: No.

Alex: You like Jimmy Olsen.
Kara: Stop it. Um, first of all, he prefers "James".
Alex: Oh.
Kara: Mm-hmm.
Alex: Okay.
Kara: Second, we're just friends. Just friends.
Alex: Please. You were looking at him like he was one of your sticky buns. And seriously, you have got to stop telling people who you really are. The less people know about Supergirl, the better.

Alex: Mmm, I really need those. Do you have any, um...
Kara: Rhubarb? Yeah, three. What do you think this is, amateur hour?
Alex: The queen of pies.

J'onn: Who would want you dead?
Winn: Where do we start? Okay, well, there's Griggs, uh... the Hellgrammite, Hannibal. I mean...
Alex: Look, the Hellgrammite and Griggs have been in containment. So that's a no.
J'onn: Hannibal, we deported after the Daxamite invasion.
Winn: Right.
Alex: Okay, so let's just keep narrowing it down.

Supergirl: I have to go.
Alex: Hey, not like this. Listen to me. I know that you've been struggling for the past months and I have been trying to get you to embrace your humanity, but forget that. Be cold. Be Kryptonian. I don't know why, but this thing really scares me. So, please, be alien.

Supergirl: When can I take this off?
Alex: When the air is 100% kryptonite-free.
Supergirl: But I can't just sit here.
Alex: This armor has the exact amount of energy to filter out the kryptonite from your system. If you use this to fight...
Supergirl: But...
Alex: But nothing. I know what I'm doing.
Supergirl: And I don't?

Kelly: [while out jogging with Alex, there are a couple of military vehicles parked in the street] Feels like I'm back on deployment.
Alex: Hey, at least that's one upside to martial law. Maybe you feel like you're at home.

Alex: Let's hope this thing works.
[she tosses the grenade in her hand; when it detonates, Kara's powers are restored]
Mon: What was that?
Alex: It's a yellow sun grenade. A little taste of home.

Brainiac: Based on what Dreamer just witnessed, I've calculated that the Crysalis will become impenetrable, trapping the life forces in one hour's time.
J'onn: Our only hope now is to find that Crysalis before that happens. If we release all of the life forces back to their rightful owners, we'll cure everyone at once and disempower the Prime Phantom.
Dreamer: Well, we can't do that until we find the Crysalis.
M'gann: I can lead us to it.
J'onn: No. No, M'gann. If you get too close, you'll transform. I'm not gonna lose you again.
M'gann: We have no other choice.
Alex: Actually, we do.

Supergirl: No, I'll do it. I mean, I... I know her. l bet you I can get her to say what she knows.
Alex: How?
Supergirl: Reporting skills. And good old-fashioned sneakiness.
Winn: [skeptical] Solid plan.
Alex: [skeptical] Yeah, absolutely.
Alex: No problem.
[but entirely unconvinced]
Supergirl: You guys! I can be sneaky when I want to be!

Alex: Kara, I'm not ever going anywhere. Okay? I promise. Just because I'm with Maggie, it doesn't mean that I am not with you. Always.
Kara: I know. I... I guess I just made all those big plans 'cause I wanted the day to be extra special, and I... I felt you slipping away.
Alex: I'm not. Ever. But... is that the only reason you made such big plans?
Kara: What do you mean?
Alex: Look... sometimes, you know, in our life, when one part is really confusing, we will pour way more attention than necessary into another. And, you know, you... you looked a bit overwhelmed when you talked to Mon-El. So maybe the reason that you made such big plans with me was so that you didn't have to think about how you actually feel about him.
Kara: I told him how I feel.
Alex: Mm-hmm. And you really believe that?
Kara: He's complicated.
Alex: Mm-hmm.
Kara: And it's not just about him. It's... it is about me. Every time I put myself out there, it backfires. I don't want it to happen again. I... it's too risky.
Alex: You know, I happen to have taken a rather big romantic risk recently. And I got to say, it pays off. Maybe he's worth a shot.

Alex: You wouldn't happen to know where I can find a place called the Escape Palace, do you?
Casino: Escape Palace? You mean that spooky-looking joint up on the hill? Ridiculous add-on, if you ask me. They don't even have hills like that in the desert.

J'onn: The fire is 100% contained.
Alex: Good. Well, I am running a scan on that garbage mass. Just cataloging what other DEO remnants might not have been properly disposed of.
Brainiac: I can only imagine how long that list is gonna be.

J'onn: I tried, Alex. I tried to use prayer, the power of my mind to find Fiona, but... every time I think I'm getting somewhere, my mind is just hijacked with anger. Violence, how I failed Kara. It's no use, I'm not the man my father hoped I'd be. Only thing I've done right is put you in charge of the DEO.
Alex: No, that's... that's the only thing that you've done wrong.
J'onn: What?
Alex: Everything is my fault. I mean, all of this, it's... it's on me, okay?
J'onn: A lot of bad things happened here under my watch. But I prevailed because I trusted my gut, and my people. Alex, you have to trust your gut. You do that, and you will soar.
Alex: You realize that, um, wisdom literally emanates from you? You are exactly who your father saw you would be.

Kara: The Lena in this timeline might never forgive me. She might even hate me. You know what? You know what? If Sam stops her from going down a dark path, I can live with that.
Mxyzptlk: Except you literally can't.
Kara: What do you mean?
[he snaps, and she watches the sky turn green]
Kara: Oh, my god. This is the night Agent Liberty poisoned the air with kryptonite.
Mxyzptlk: Uh, you know what? Maybe we should shut this off, huh?
Kara: No, no, no. Lena saved me the first time. She might hate me, but she'll save me again.
Mxyzptlk: She wants to, but she'll never make it in time.
[Kara watches her heartbeat flatline, and the scene changes to Alex at Kara's grave]
Alex: Hey, Kara. I'm sorry I missed Thanksgiving. We're just... we so lost without you. I... am so lost without you.

Querl: Lena and I have found a way to clear the atmosphere of Kryptonite. We've reconfigured L-Corp nanites...
Alex: Okay, how long?
Querl: Uncertain. None of the nanites have eaten Kryptonite before and they're understandably very nervous.
[as Alex leaves]
Querl: I don't wanna ask too much of them. They're just nanites.

Alex: Look, what your family did to you was incredibly hurtful. But sometimes parents can do really stupid thing when they're up against something that they don't understand. What if you invited them to the shower?
Maggie: Are you kidding?
Alex: Well, it's the perfect excuse to reach out.
Maggie: Yeah, right. "You kicked me out because I'm gay, but hey, come to my gay shower".
Alex: It was a long time ago. Okay? The world has changed. Maybe they have, too.
Maggie: I don't think so. Babe, look, I love you, just please drop it.

Kara: [looking out her loft window] This isn't right. Well, I mean, it's right, but it's not right because it's right.
Alex: Uh-huh. So, the White Martian did a number on you last night.

Alex: Kelly, are you sure that you want to come with us? I mean, stepping into a new dimension, that isn't something you signed up for.
Kelly: For Kara, for you... I'll do anything.

Alex: We're training, people. Never charge without a plan. Jensen, right?
Jensen: Yes, Director Danvers.
Alex: Let's dance.

Maggie: [rescuing Alex] You held on.
Alex: I held on.

Alex: She followed your orders. She won.
Hank: Yeah. This time.
Alex: Director Henshaw. I wasn't only recruited because of my sister... was I?
Hank: Yeah, she's why you got in. *You* are why you to get to stay.

Lena: You know, you're really wonderful with Ruby. You're gonna make a natural mother.
Alex: Yeah, and yet I haven't made any steps to, uh, make that a reality. It took me forever to find Maggie. So what am I supposed to do? Am I supposed to hope that I fall in love again with someone who wants to have kids? Or do I try and do this on my own? And if so, how? I mean, it's not like my job is conducive to being a single parent. But then again, if we don't stop Reign, I guess this all just a moot point.
Lena: Well, that's true. But you've identified what you want, and that's half the battle. People like you and me, we do what it takes to get what we want. And when we defeat Reign, I have no doubt you'll figure it out.

Kara: Alex, we're here. I don't see Jensen. But there's some sort of disturbance.
Alex: All right, I can see a purple glow. Jensen's somewhere in the middle of the black. All right, agents, get into position.

Supergirl: Look at that city. They worship me. And those who don't, will.
Alex: Kara, just listen to yourself.
Supergirl: Go, cut the big sister act, Alex. We have never been sisters. We don't share blood. And you know what the sad truth is? Without me, you have no life. And that kills you. Deep down, you hate me. And that's why you killed my aunt. Aww, did I make you cry? You know what they say, the truth hurts.

Kara: Oh, easy. My favorite movie.
Alex: "Center Stage".
Kara: [insulted] Excuse me?
Alex: What? You spent an entire summer learning the red shoe dance. You broke three lamps. No. Okay, um... "Terminator 2". Duh.
Kara: No, that's your favorite. Come on, Alex! Think!
Alex: [racking her brain] I'm totally blanking.

Maggie: I do like aliens more than most humans.
Alex: Why?
Maggie: I relate to them, I guess. Growing up a non-white, non-straight girl in Blue Springs, Nebraska... might as well have been from Mars. I was an outcast and felt like it.

Querl: Once he's hit a million followers, he's promised to strike. So you'll have to work fast.
Kara: She can do it.
Nia: Um, right. Uh, so, are there any markers, any specifics I can keep an eye out for?
Alex: All we know is that he wants attention.
Nia: Attention. Okay.
[entering a dream state, she sees Brainy]
Nia: Not you. Get out of my head, jerk.

Superman: Silver kryptonite. That's a new one. The whole time, I thought I was fighting Zod. It didn't weaken me at all.
Supergirl: It might have.
Superman: No. No, I was at full strength and you beat me.
Supergirl: Well, I'm just glad we're both okay. But we need to come up with a plan to defeat Rhea, or she's just gonna keep coming after us.
Alex: And the positron cannon was the only weapon we had capable of penetrating their ships' shields. Is there anything that powerful here?
Superman: Not a weapon. But I might have something we can use against them.
Supergirl: What?
Superman: Information. I feel like there was something in the archives about the early wars with Daxam.
[he activates a screen and the Kryptonian language scrolls by]
Superman: You know, this really would be a lot easier with Kelex.
Supergirl: Yeah, sorry. I kinda had to blast him.
Superman: No, no, it's fine. It's just you owe me a new robot.
Supergirl: Dakam-Ur. Never heard of that.
Superman: It's old, but it might work.

J'onn: Word has spread about Amadei's attack. There's a vigil forming outside his home.
Alex: [entering with pizza in hand] All right, I've got pepperoni and mushroom.
Kara: Alex, what are you doing here? What's going on with Jensen?
Alex: Um... he's gone quiet. Which is unsettling, I know, but it gave me enough time to get some sustenance for you both. Kara texted me about what happend, and I'm sorry about your friend, J'onn.

Alex: You're staring.
Maxwell: Just wondering where you're hiding your gun under that dress.
Alex: Behave, and you won't have to find out.

Alex: You doing okay?
Supergirl: Yeah. And thanks for being here. I know you pick your battles now.
Alex: Well, it seemed like a good battle to pick.

Alex: Hey, any luck with the warehouse?
Supergirl: It was empty.
J'onn: I was able to pick up Richard Bates' psychic signal, along with dozens of other people in that warehouse. But when I tried to connect, there was some kind of interference.
Querl: [entering] It's because Obsidian is adding Platinum users by the minute. The lenses interface with the brain by using Q-waves, which operate on a similar frequency as Malefic's Martian brain.
J'onn: Just as I can't connect to Mal, I can't find those missing people.
Querl: You can connect with them... by using Myriad. Lena wanted to use Myriad to disperse her Q-wave mind control, but if you turn it on in reverse, it will compress the Q-waves in the atmosphere, making it possible for you to track the psychic signatures.
Supergirl: And it wouldn't be dangerous?
Querl: In your hands, no.
Supergirl: Then I'll go. But I don't like it.

Alex: I read your file. Your parents were doctors who developed vaccines against bioweapons. They worked for the government. But they didn't see it as the enemy.
Maxwell: No, they didn't. So when they raised concerns about the safety of their lab, they trusted the government's findings. "Acceptable risk levels." Two months later, an air system malfunctioned; a virus entered their pressure suits. Their internal organs melted. When it was all over, there was nothing left to bury.
Alex: I'm sorry.
Maxwell: That's the first apology the government's ever given me.
Alex: They covered it up.
Maxwell: You can't be surprised.
Alex: What happened to you was a tragedy. I'm trying to prevent another one. Rejecting our help is not rational. You are a man of logic, Max.
Maxwell: I'm also an orphan. We don't get over things easily. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a train to catch.

Alex: I'm in.
Kelly: Good. You should see your experience options.
Alex: Yeah, I do.
Kelly: Did you find Virtual Las Vegas?
Alex: Uh... yeah, I... I-I got it. Hang on.
[spinning the choices around]
Alex: There it is. Vegas, baby.

Winn: Hey, this isn't on you, Kara.
Kara: I have to find this man. How am I supposed to do that?
Alex: [entering] With my help. Do you have someplace private we can talk?

Alex: How does it feel to... to burn sunlight?
Supergirl: Warm. Fuzzy. I feel it in my toes first. Is it working?
Alex: I think so. She's gotta convert solar radiation the same as you, so I am having the satellite scan for your solar signature and eliminate every place we know you've been. The rest must be her.

Alex: Kara always hated the opera. But I'm sure that if she had heard Puccini, she would absolutely love it.
J'onn: Yeah, I miss her, too.

Alex: You've spent your life in service. Everything you do is-is for the good of our country. You see that as a moral imperative. But some orders are immoral. And following them does not make you a good soldier, it makes you complicit.
Colonel: That is enough, Director Danvers.
Alex: Ben Lockwood wants to ambush Supergirl. He wants to execute her. While you and I both know that she's been falsely accused. Look, I know that it's risky to defy orders, but you have much more to consider than just yourself here. What about your daughter?
Colonel: You leave my daughter out of this. In all my months here, I've revealed to you exactly one piece of personal information. One piece... and now you wanna use that as leverage against me?
Alex: Colonel...
Colonel: Not to mention lying about the signal watch. Yes, I know more than you think. One click, she comes. Two clicks, she stays away. You're pushing your luck here, Danvers, and one day you're going to push it too far. Dismissed.

Alex: My god. Oh, my god.
Kara: I know.
Alex: It's Mon-El.
Kara: I know. You're back.
Alex: Wait a minute. How are you breathing? How... how is he breathing?
Winn: We... we don't know.
J'onn: According to the samples taken this morning, the air should still be toxic to Daxamites.
Kara: It's incredible.
Alex: Did someone cure you?
Winn: Yeah, and... and what was that language you were speaking on the ship?
Mon: Saturnian.
Winn: What, there's... there's life on Saturn?

Alex: You're gonna have to shut that thing down. We won't get everybody out in time. Repeat, we will not evacuate in time.
Supergirl: We are all going to die! You need to shut it down.
Olivia: You said that she would save us! That she would save everybody.
Thomas: And she will. Those people up there, they need to be awoken. Only you can do that. You are the one to deliver Rao's light upon all of us.
Supergirl: Don't you see?
[having picked up something sharp, she cuts her hand and shows him the blood]
Supergirl: I am no God.

Supergirl: I mean, people actually believe that I attacked the White House. They think I'm a terrorist. Years of helping people just wiped away with one lie.
Alex: No, not one lie, it's lots of lies. And Ben Lockwood has been telling whoppers for months. He's just creating division. And then most of the country is just terrified and now they're looking for solutions to make any sense of it.
Supergirl: Shouldn't the truth matter more?
Lena: No, not when Lex is involved. He's an expert at perception. Consummate gaslighter. He can make you doubt things that you know are true.

Alex: Okay, well, this is the birth mother's file. It's got her story, it's got her medical history. Oh, my god. She's only seventeen.
Kelly: Okay, take a breath.
Alex: No, there's no time to breathe. She's already in labor.
Kelly: What?
Alex: Yeah. She hid the pregnancy from everybody.

Kara: If you feel like getting back out there, I know Nia and her roommate are throwing a very happening Valentine's party tonight. We could go together. I could be your wing-woman.
Alex: Why does that scare me?

Alex: I am the one who held out hope for him. I am the one that said that he was good, and that Cadmus was forcing him to kill people.
Kara: And he helped you escape.
Alex: And then he disappeared. Again.
[snapping her fingers]
Alex: Just like that!
Kara: Alex, he's still your father.
Alex: Ugh.
Kara: You should be at his burial.

Kara: [after an earthquake] Alex. Are you okay?
Alex: I'm fine.
Kara: Liar.
Alex: Back at you.
Kara: Arm's broken here. Which, by the way, a warning would have been nice about how much that hurts.

Hank: If we're gonna get inside Lord Technologies, we cut the power in the rear of the lab and infiltrate the basement.
Alex: While the emergency generators kick in and his army pounces on us. This isn't the way in, Hank.
Hank: You have a better idea.
Alex: You are the greatest asset that we have and nobody knows about it. All these computers and these weapons, they're nothing compared to you.
Hank: I can't keep using my powers. It's too much of a risk.
Alex: It is our job to take risks. We run into the line of fire. We face enemies that no one on this planet has the courage to.
Hank: And the best way for me to fight them is as head of the DEO. I can't be head of the DEO if I'm an alien.
Alex: You saw what Max Lord did to James. You know he's after my sister.

Alex: It's not just Rama Khan out there. There's three of them. Each with a different element-bending power.
Lena: Where are the others?
Alex: J'onn was injured. M'gann and Dreamer took him back to the Tower.
Kara: I should have been there, fighting alongside you. I'm sorry.
Alex: Kara, it's okay. We all still have our ears.

Alex: What are you doing?
Kara: It's a Kryptonian meditation. We say an ancient mantra to strengthen our mind.
Alex: Hmm. Never seen you do that before.
Kara: I've never felt like I needed it.

Alex: I'm sorry about before. I was out of line.
Kelly: You care about James. That's nothing to apologize for.

Alex: Tell us exactly what happened.
J'onn: I already told you, I'm fine. Alex, you should be tracking Leviathan.
Alex: Yes, and Rip Roar, but Brainy's on that, so just stop deflecting.

Alex: Okay, so, all the test results came back clear. No tumor, no blood disorders, nothing. You as healthy as an Olympic athlete.
Samantha: [mildly depressed] Really?
Kara: Sam, this is a really good thing. All of the worst possibilites have been ruled out.
Samantha: No, I know. I know. It's just... I mean, if it's nothing, then what's happening to me?
Alex: We'll figure it out, okay? I promise. But for right now, just take the good news.
Lena: Alex is right. Go home to Ruby, enjoy the now. Every second of this is important to you, and it's important to your daughter.
Samantha: Okay. No, yeah, you're right. Um... thank you, guys. I honestly... I don't know how I lived my life without you guys. Thanks.
Alex: [Sam leaves] I'll figure it out.
Lena: We all will.

Alex: You really look just like him.
Supergirl: I hope that's where the resemblance ends.
Alex: So he really re-wrote the world with that book? He re-wrote my life?
Supergirl: Yeah.
Alex: It's funny. Because I feel like this was always me. But I guess everybody does, right?
Supergirl: This is you. Someone who is willing to stand up for what's right. I mean, after all of this goes back to normal, that'll still be who you are.
Alex: Your sister is a very lucky woman.
Supergirl: I'm a lucky sister.

Supergirl: What's... what's happening? Why am I in here? Get me out!
Alex: Hey, it's okay. Just breathe. I'm here. Mercy fired kryptonite into the air.
Supergirl: God, I can't breathe. I can't breathe.
Alex: No, no. Hey, look at me. You're fine. This suit is keeping you alive. Okay, so just breathe.
Supergirl: [calming down] I'm okay. Tell me everything.

Alex: Usually, the birth mother looks at prospective parent profiles and then she chooses three. But in this case, since she's about to have the baby, she's only chosen one. And that's me.
Kelly: Alex, that's incredible.
Alex: It's insane. I mean, I have twelve bours to decide if I want to have a child and then get to Portsmouth where the baby is gonna be born. Look, I filled out the adoption application a year ago, and I haven't heard a single word since then. Not one word. And now, all of a sudden, I have twelve hours to make the biggest decision in my life.
Kelly: Do you want to be a mother?
Alex: More than anything. Yes. Of course. I... I mean, I left my fiancée over this.

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

Mon: Reign's attacking again.
Querl: I'm getting us a feed. She attacked a meth lab. The cops arrived; she attacked them, too. I'll run another scan on Kara.
Imra: [he leaves] Mon-El.
Mon: We can't risk it.
Alex: Risk what?

Kelly: Figured you guys could use some lunch. So, how are things going here?
Alex: I mean, with Silas' help and the nanobots to rebuild it, he can have Supergirl back by sundown.
Silas: Whoa. By sundown?
Alex: We should order in Dim Sum Delite's entire stock of potstickers because she's gonna be starving when she gets back.
Silas: You're not listening to me. Sundown isn't possible. Next week might not be possible. The last time I built this portal, it took six months of testing to make sure I didn't burn to death when I stepped through it. It's just wonderful that you are all big, powerful superheroes, but I can't guarantee you won't burn to death, either. I already have not saving my husband on my conscience. I don't need your deaths, too.

Kelly: That house is a recent add-on, customized by a user.
Alex: Okay, so what does that mean?
Kelly: Advanced users can customize the virtual world, but it takes time to catalogue these additions in our system. So I don't know what we can expect.
Alex: Well, if Trevor's in there, then I gotta check it out. I'm going in.
[transition to inside]
Alex: I don't like this.
[seeing large tanks of water with people inside]
Alex: Oh, my god. This is just like when Rick Malverne tried to drown me.

Alex: So, are you gonna let the staff in on all these pizzas or are you and I just gonna knock 'em out ourselves? Because challenge accepted.
Querl: Yes, uh... please, help yourself. This is apples and olives. It's my favorite.
Alex: So, Kara just called me, and, uh... she said your image inducer was hacked.
Querl: Yes. It was just for a moment. I've been trying to find the source of which, and it seems it was commanded from the computer of a senior L-Corp programmer.
Alex: Well, she and Lena think that Mercy's responsible, so Lena put up a firewall. No one can hack into the system.
Querl: That means the only way Mercy can access the image inducer now is through the mainframe at L-Corp, and based on the simulation I just created for her, there is a 99.99% chance that she is on her way there now.

Querl: Lena's in Mount Norquay.
Alex: Mount Norquay is one of Lex's old hideouts.
[Kara moves to leave]
Alex: Where are you going?
Supergirl: To fix this.

Lena: Well, it's not a dream. The valley's real. When I was working with Sam, she told me of this place. It's, uh... an alternate dimension that she would go when Reign would take over.
Alex: But how could Supergirl see it?
J'onn: On Mars, my people would share memories, emotions, experiences. Sometimes you would experience a particularly strong mind wholly by accident.
Alex: Like picking up a radio broadcast?
Winn: But Supergirl just picked up an alternate dimension.
Lena: It's possible. And if we could go in there, maybe we could wake Sam up and she could send us a message to say where the Worldkillers are.
J'onn: There's still one big hole in this plan. How do we send Supergirl back to this valley?
Supergirl: [getting an idea] We fight fantasy with sci-fi.

Ben: Dreamer, you are under arrest for using an illegal, seditious broadcast to incite violence.
Kara: You're the only one inciting violence. We're unarmed.
Ben: This will be easy, then.
Alex: [next to a fuse box] Ready, Brainy.
[she turns the power off; Kara and Dreamer use the darkness to escape]
Ben: Where is she? Find her and detain her.

Supergirl: What's Mitch been up to since he was released?
Alex: Well, there's no known address on file. I mean, it looks like he's been in and out of county jail, just a few petty thefts, one B&E.
J'onn: Sounds like small-time crime wasn't paying him enough money, so he sparked up the menagerie again. Hence the kidnapping.
Brainiac: I tried tracing their ship. Either it left with Naxim, or Mitch is using a cloaking device.
Supergirl: God, another dead end? Feels like we just put this guy away and now we have to do it again. What are the odds of that?
Brainiac: Based on Mitch's history of non-violent offenses, his destitution, lack of support system and welfare available to him, and his overall lack of aptitude, two in five.
[seeing she meant the question rhetorically]
Brainiac: Recidivism is nothing if not statistically reliable.
Supergirl: That's why the Ormfell vote tomorrow is so important. I need to figure out how to sway that vote stat. Maybe if I speak directly to Councilwoman Rankin, I can convince her not to hand the building over to Orquoia. You guys keep looking for Mitch and Dr. Raab. Let me know if you find anything.

Alex: [after attack] Max, we need to secure the area. This is an active crime scene.
Maxwell: [coming down stairs, imperious manner] No, this is my property.
Alex: This attack has been traumatic for all of us. They kidnapped my commanding officer.
Maxwell: I think the days of us partnering up are over, Agent Danvers.
Alex: At least tell me what the aliens were looking for. They could at least help us locate our man.
Maxwell: Why don't you ask your pet alien?
[Kara glowers at him]
Maxwell: As for me, I'll protect myself in the future.

Kara: [obviously eavesdropped on Alex and Maggie] How was that?
Alex: Ugh. Spy much?
[Kara chuckles]
Alex: It was good. We're just... gonna be friends.
Kara: [nods] Okay.

Alex: I just don't wanna fail.
Kelly: Why do you think you'd fail?
Alex: My mom was, uh... she was incredible with me. I mean, she always just... hugged me when I cried, and she... fixed up my bumps and my bruises, and work on my science projects with me.
Kelly: Hmm.
Alex: And she made me feel so loved. And, you know, for a lot of my formative and toughest years, she did it alone. And she is the one that inspired me to think that I can do this on my own. But now that this is... I mean, it's right in front of me, and I'm just not sure I could even be half the mother that she's been for me.
Kelly: Okay, look. I've only known you for a short time. But from what I've seen, you're the most nurturing person that I've ever met. You take care of your friends, your sister, you took care of my brother when he was in the hospital. And even me. Who you barely knew. You care too much to fail, Alex. I mean, you are gonna be an amazing mother.
Alex: Did anyone ever tell you you should be a shrink?
Kelly: Mm, once or twice. All right, give me the chocolate.
Alex: It's all gone.
Kelly: What?
Alex: I know.

Supergirl: Lex had superpowers when I fought him. He is more dangerous than ever, and he will strike.
Alex: Maybe I can help Supergirl. With support from Agent Dox, I can direct the D.C. operation from the field.
Colonel: No, I can run point on D.C., cover where necessary. You focus on finding Lex.
[taking the box of donuts from Kara]
Colonel: Don't make me regret this.

Alex: There's still no sign of them. Guess they didn't take the bait.
Dreamer: Maybe you should have been meaner.
J'onn: Yeah...
[hearing a rumble of thunder and seeing lightning in the sky]
J'onn: No. I was just mean enough.

Alex: Where are you?
Kara: I'm a little busy.
Alex: You said you would be here.
Kara: And I will be. I'm just dealing with an escaped alien prisoner.

J'onn: Have we identified any potential suspects yet?
Alex: Uh, not yet. We've been going off the list that you had from the gun manufacturer, but trying to locate the weapons like this is particularly hard.
Winn: There's no digital trail, there's no paper trail. All we can do is actually call the individual retailers that sold the guns.
J'onn: Well, what are waiting for? I want that guy found and off the streets as soon as possible, before he can use that weapon on anybody else.

Alex: Work has been crazy with Lena moving into the DEO this week. It's...
[realizing the sore topic]
Alex: That was... I'm sorry.
James: It's fine. I... no kid gloves needed.

Alex: You've been drafted.
Supergirl: Wait, what? Isn't there still kryptonite in the air? I thought you were doing things by the book.
Alex: I was. But I really need you out there with me. I was scared. Of failing, of letting everybody down; I mean, the president, the country. So I thought the rules would protect me from screwing everything up.
Supergirl: Mm, well, Danvers sisters have never really been big on rules.
Alex: I know, and I forgot that for a minute. I'm sorry. The only way that we're gonna win this thing is if I trust my instincts and I trust yours. And you're right. The air isn't fully clear. So this is a risk. Do you think you can do it?
Supergirl: I know I can.
Alex: Then suit up.
Supergirl: [indicating she already is] No choice.

Maggie: Are you sure you want to give up on this? You sure you want to do this, give up on something tangible and real, something... us. It's us. For some notion you have of being a mom?
Alex: It's not some notion. Ever since I was little, you know, when I would see a mom and her kids, this thing would happen to me. You know, it... it's... recognition that I was gonna be a mom, too. And it wasn't some, you know, I... "Oh, I... want it. I want that", or "I hope someday that I have that." No, it's just... something that I've always known. Even when everything else, whether it was boyfriend, girlfriend, whatever, when... when that was blurry... the part of me being a mom, that's always been crystal clear.

Alex: So, you are... reducing mitophagy and... increasing mitochondrial efficiency at the same time. That would give muscle cells the potential to...
[realizing]
Alex: Okay, wait. That conversation at Thanksgiving, that wasn't theoretical? You're giving people powers.
Lena: Management is such a waste of your talents.
Alex: Lena, this is huge. And it's dangerous. I mean, we need to up your security. We need to make sure that your reports are put on a protected server.
Lena: I'm not going to be writing any reports.
Alex: What do you mean you're not? You made a deal with the government.
Lena: The deal was non-reciprocal. It's for products, not procedures. Which is a good thing, because I don't trust governments as a rule.
Alex: I'm the government.
Lena: Well, I sure hope that's not true.

J'onn: Come on, Supergirl. Where are you?
Querl: I've got her. She's falling fast.
Alex: Come on, J'onn, where are you?
Querl: He's too far.
Alex: He'll make it.
Querl: If he doesn't, with the kryptonite radiation, the impact will kill her.
Alex: [more to herself] Come on. Get our girl.
J'onn: [catching Kara just before impact] I've got you.
[the agents at the DEO cheer]
J'onn: Alex, she's in bad shape. I'm coming in hot.

Supergirl: I'm gonna throw up.
Alex: Are you still feeling weird? We should get you to the med bay. You did not seem okay this morning.
Supergirl: Oh, no, no, I'm fine. I'm just... disoriented. The world is... what was Lex doing up there?
Alex: Well, they keep throwing all these awards at him. He doesn't usually accept them in person, but this one meant a lot to him.
Supergirl: People think he's a good guy?
Alex: Kara, we're talking about Lex Luthor. He's the best guy.
Supergirl: No, he's not! He's a psychopathic lunatic.
Alex: What? No, he... he's the boss. And he's your number one supporter. I mean, besides Lena. And all the times that they defended you to the president... what has gotten into you?
Supergirl: Hang on, what-what... wait, did you just say "boss"?
[looking at the DEO seal on the floor, she sees it's a subsidiary of LuthorCorp]

Kara: I feel... guilty. I... I feel selfish.
Alex: Hey. You have given all of us so much as Supergirl. Reign is gone. You have dedicated your whole life to taking care of others. It's time for Kara Zor-El to take care of herself. And no one deserves that more than you. But, selfishly, I don't know what I'm gonna do without you.
Kara: When you went away to college, we... we figured that out, we did that.
Alex: Yeah, I mean, we called and e-mailed every day. What's Wi-Fi like in space?

Chester P. Runk: We tracked down the PED and Reverse-Flash.
Alex: He's crossing the Atlantic Ocean.
Cecile: What the hell is he doing?
Arielle: [reporting on TV] He's destroying the city. It's like the end of days out here.
Ryan: Holy crap, it's not just the city. Allen's speed wake is causing the globe to tear itself apart. It's an extinction-level event in progress.
Allegra: He's right. I'm tracking at least a hundred earthquakes.
Alex: A tsunami just hit Japan.
Caitlin: Allen really has lost his mind. He realized he can't win, so he's trying to kill us all.
Cecile: I have to go. I gotta go get Jenna.
Frost: Guys, Mark and I could use backup!
Allegra: Go. I'll stay here.
Alex: Okay.
Ryan: Hey, not to be that guy, but since this could be the end of the world as we know it, if anyone has anything to say, now would be the time.
Chester P. Runk: Uh, the Reverse-Flash just hit Europe.
Caitlin: Where is Eobard?
Eobard: I'm right behind him.

Querl: I'm back, having assisted Supergirl, which was highly rewarding.
Alex: I'm very happy you were able to help. But we seem to be having a communication problem.
Querl: Oh, no, I assure you, I understand every word that comes out of your mouth.
Alex: Yes. But you are not comprehending it. Otherwise, you wouldn't have spent the last three months acting like a grain of sand in my boot.
Querl: Ooh. I guess that does sound annoying.

J'onn: I haven't been able to locate a signal from Mxy or Nxyly since they both disappeared.
Supergirl: Mxy told me over and over again how far gone Nxyly was, and I refused to listen. He gave himself up so that I didn't have to use the Phantom Zone projector. Turns out using it was the right call all along.
Alex: Well, you just held hope that you could appeal to the good in someone. It-it didn't work this time, but you were not wrong to try.
Brainiac: Still... we lost Mxy.
Nia: That doesn't mean we can't save him. I dreamt that Mxy died, but if what he says is true, then he's still alive in that crystal. And thanks to him, Nxyly is depowered, and we know what she's after. We all make mistakes, right? So all we can do now is learn from them and try to move forward.
Supergirl: Let's go get him.

Kelly: As if you weren't amazing enough, you're also a gourmet chef?
Alex: Hardly. But I am famous for this breakfast in particular.
Kelly: Oh.
Alex: So, we have poached eggs, crispy bacon, fresh whipped cream, and... Danvers' blueberry pancakes.
Kelly: Um...
Alex: I know, right? One bite of these, and you will die for them.
Kelly: [recoiling] I really will.

Kara: You let everyone that I love die! You left me! You left me alone, you sent me away! How could you do that?
Alura: I am not programmed...
Kara: AHHHHHHHH!
Alex: Hey, hey, hey. It's not really her.
Kara: She lied to me.
Kara: Kara, that wasn't your mom. Look, you don't know what happened then. Only what Astra is telling you now.
Kara: I know that Astra and I were both given life sentences by my mother. We didn't have a choice.
Alex: Kara...

Alex: Hey, Chester, why did you ghost Allegra?
Chester P. Runk: Well, I-I never...
Ryan: Oh, here we go.
Alex: Ten years ago, the morning after you two hooked up, you snuck out while she was sleeping.
Ryan: First of all, that's not ghosting. That's called a French exit.
Chester P. Runk: I never ghosted anyone, okay? I went to get coffee and blueberry muffins.
Alex: Wait, what?
Chester P. Runk: Yeah, I wanted to have breakfast in bed, watch the sun come up. I had the whole day planned because I knew even after one night that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her.
Ryan: Dear God.
Alex: When I got back, she was gone, Alex, so Allegra ghosted me.
Ryan: Which is we we always abide by rule number one: never return to the scene of the crime.

Alex: Oh, my god.
Supergirl: What?
Alex: That's Grace.
Lena: Who?
Supergirl: She's the human form of one of the Worldkillers.
Lena: Sh-she's dead.
Alex: Which means that we are running out of time with Sam and Julia.

Alex: So, is Barry gonna be all right?
Iris: Honestly, we don't know.
Frost: Can you tell us anything else about Despero's planet or his freaky flame?
Alex: Well, actually, the pieces are starting to come together. For years, we had heard rumors and whispers from the dark corners of the galaxy about the Flame of Py'tar, which is an energy source that was supposedly the sentient heart of the planet Kalanor. But just when we started to think that this was a pan-galactic urban legend, you guys are the first to meet an actual Kalanorian.
Chester P. Runk: Lucky us.
Alex: Yeah, but thanks to you guys, we've opened an official file on Despero. Kara and J'onn, they're off-world, but we'll keep investigating, and I'll call if we find anything that can help take him down. You guys stay safe, okay?
Iris: Yeah, thanks. You too, Alex.
Chester P. Runk: Well, we may not be the Tower or have access to S.T.A.R. Labs, but Chester P can still roll up his sleeves and see what I can come up with to help track down Barry.
Frost: Assuming he wants to be found.

Alex: You're wearing my T-shirt.
Maggie: Yeah. Is that okay?
Alex: That's amazing. I mean, like, you're in my apartment and it's... it's morning and you slept in my apartment and... and now you're wearing my T-shirt and making coffee, and I can't believe this is happening, and everything coming out of my mouth is very cliché.
Maggie: It's called being happy. Get used to it, Danvers.

Brainiac: [after M'gann is attacked by a Phantom] The four progeny are in containment, but their combined dark-phantom energy is shorting the security system. I need to fortify the unit, but I'll need a second Luthor electro...
Alex: Her temperature is dropping faster than Silas's.
Brainiac: The Zulians were able to overwhelm the planets they invaded so easily because the stronger the Zulians got, the quicker the victims turned.
J'onn: Alex, get Martian plasma. A transfusion might slow M'gann's turn.
Alex: On it.
J'onn: [M'gann regains consciousness] Hey.
M'gann: I'm sorry I went against your orders.
J'onn: No, no, this is my fault. I had a hunch Martians might be more susceptible to their attacks.
M'gann: Let's just say we both screwed up.

Alex: Well, thank you for having me tonight. The place looks wonderful.
M'yrnn: Oh, the pleasure was mine. You mean a great deal to J'onn.
Alex: Well, he's very important to me, too.
M'yrnn: I know we are new friends, but I hope, in time, that we can be the kind of family you and J'onn have become.
Alex: That would be lovely.

[SPOILER: ]
[Alex killed Astra, but Hank took the fall for it]
Alex: Why did you lie to Kara?
Hank: Because you're Supergirl's hero. And I don't want her to see you as anything but.

Supergirl: On Krypton, I remember Aunt Astra and my mother always arguing.
Alex: Like sisters do.
Supergirl: And when I asked my mother why they could never get along, she said that it was because Astra didn't have faith in people.
Alex: You wanted to know if I have faith in you. I do. I always have. When you first came to live with us, my parents told me that you would be sad, and fragile, having just lost your world, your parents, your friends. But you never let that loss diminish your light. You've always had the heart of a hero, Kara. Way before you put on that "S".

Kara: I stopped by that food truck you like.
Alex: The one in Chicago? You are my favorite person.

Maggie: I have one pet peeve, Danvers, and that's not being heard.
Alex: Okay. I'm listening.
Maggie: [turning to leave] No, forget it. I'm outta here.
Alex: [stopping her] Hey, no! You don't get to just walk out, Maggie. This is a relationship. You're the one who told me not to push my feelings down, so... now it's your turn.
Maggie: You want... you want to know?
Alex: Yeah.
Maggie: Okay, yeah, fine. When I told you that my parents were supportive of my coming out, I lied.
Alex: What?
Maggie: I had this friend when I was fourteen, Elisa Wilkey. We'd hang out in her parents' basement, watching horror flicks, and smoking cigarettes. I... I... she was the first girl that I knew I liked in a way that was different. And I-I thought that she liked me, too. And so on Valentine's Day, I put a card in her locker, declaring my feelings, and asking her to the dance. Well... she gave that card to her parents. And then they called my parents. And that's how I was outed. And then my dad kicked me out, and I had to live with an aunt for three years.
Alex: Maggie, I'm... I'm sorry.
Maggie: Yeah, whatever.
Alex: But I don't understand. I mean, why... why didn't you just tell me the truth?
Maggie: I didn't want to scare you. Okay? I wanted it to be better for you.

Supergirl: The Monitor freed Mal? I didn't know he was of this universe.
Querl: Yes, I thought the Monitor was a Flash and Green Arrow's problem.
J'onn: He's of every universe, and he's everyone's problem. Last year, he tested Kara and Earth-1's heroes with Dr. Deegan and the Book of Destiny. This year, he's testing me to make sure I'm ready for this.
Alex: And what exactly is "this"?
Supergirl: Another reality wave?
Querl: Not exactly. Whatever it is, it is hurtling through space at an impossible speed. I calculate it will reach the edge of the universe in exactly 5.3 hours, at which point, it will boomerang back. Once it intersects again with our solar system, the results will be, in a word, cataclysmic.
J'onn: Exactly when will it reach us?
Querl: There are too many variables to calculate precisely, but I will say this. If this wave isn't stopped by tomorrow night... there will be no more "us". No more future. No more anything.

Alex: Ruby, I really think that you need to wait outside.
Ruby: No, I'm staying.
Samantha: Listen to me, baby. This is gonna hurt. And it's gonna look scary. But your mom is a badass. She can handle it, okay?

Alex: Supergirl, did Sam get there?
Supergirl: She did, but I screwed up. I need you to find me a disruption.
Alex: A disruption?
Supergirl: I need to go back in time, like the Legion.
Winn: You can't breathe in space.
Supergirl: I'm wearing Mon-El's ring. I can breathe with it on. If I can turn back time, I could use the electricity in the Harun-El to take us to the Fountain of Lillith.
Winn: Okay, but it disrupts... the-the pressure alone is gonna crush you.
Supergirl: Just find me a disruption, now!

Alex: How's he doing?
Kelly: Still unconscious, but that means he's healing, so I'll take it.
Alex: Thank you for giving us access. James means the world to us.
Kelly: Of course. James has always been more of a "chosen family" kind of guy. Speaking of, where is your sister?
[alarms beep and James starts to convulse]
Kelly: We need help in here!

J'onn: Do we know who the men in the van were?
Alex: No, but these weren't low-rent thugs. They were definitely combat-trained. They mean business.
J'onn: So do we.
[to: ]
J'onn: Or have you forgotten that?
Supergirl: Hey. Hey, what's with the grumpy? Today and yesterday.
Alex: Is everything all right, J'onn?
J'onn: I appreciate the concern, but I assure you, I'm fine.
Supergirl: Don't make me pout!
[pouts]
Alex: [folding her arms] She's really good at it.

Alex: What's going on?
Querl: [the gathered DEO agents applaud] Congratulations, Director Danvers.
Alex: All right, we put one in the "win" column. And that's... that's because of you. You all should be so proud of yourselves.

Alex: It was a good idea, coming here. I don't think I could have slept in any other bed last night without Maggie. Sorry I punished you for trying to help.
Kara: Oh, it was your turn.
Alex: I never want to hurt you.
Kara: I know. I am getting better. Sorry I haven't shown it. Maybe if I had, you'd have more hope right now.
Alex: You're here. Right now, that's all I really need.

Imra: Chameleon was the first Legionnaire to fall. Stricken by the Blight. Six more quickly followed.
Alex: So you put them in stasis to save their lives.
Mon: It was Brainy's idea. Keep them on ice until we can find a cure.
Alex: I was wondering why you hadn't woken them up to join the fight.
Imra: We couldn't risk exposing your timeline to the sickness. Couldn't risk causing the very thing we were trying so hard to prevent.
Mon: But we did prevent it. And with Pestilence defeated in this time, they were never infected. So their vitals are back to normal.

Alex: I'm gonna borrow this portal watch. I think it could come in handy.
Supergirl: Yeah, as long as you return it.
Alex: I always return the things that I borrow.
Supergirl: Oh, yeah? Tell that to every graphic tee I owned from junior high on.

J'onn: Her name is Nxyly?
Mr. Mxyzptlk: Officially, the Princess Nxylgsptinz.
Supergirl: Whatever it is, she is the reason that my father and I almost stayed trapped in the Phantom Zone forever. And the reason I wouldn't be here if Mxy hadn't saved me. And before anyone says anything, I know I should have told you guys about her sooner, but I really didn't think I would ever see her again.
Brainiac: She must have hitched a ride on the Tower ship when we portal-jumped back to Earth.
Mr. Mxyzptlk: The Coluan is right. But, she was going to escape the Phantom Zone sooner or later.
Alex: What do you mean?
Mr. Mxyzptlk: What she'd learned from her father.
[seeing their blank looks]
Mr. Mxyzptlk: You're kidding? Wicked King Brpxz? Doesn't ring a bell? Wow, okay. I can explain everything.
Brainiac: [the Super Friends stop him from snapping] You told Supergirl that you could sense each other's energies. That means that even with the Tower's cloaking shields, Nxyly can track your magic here.
Mr. Mxyzptlk: Okay. I can explain everything with words. Unless this place has a decent sound system?

Alex: What is that?
Querl: It's a Kryptonite contamination alarm.
Alex: Find out where.
[into her comms as Brainy searches]
Alex: Supergirl, we've got a Kryptonite alert somewhere in National City.
Querl: Director Danvers.
Alex: You're gonna need to stay back until we figure out what we're dealing with.
Querl: Alex.
Alex: What?
Querl: It's not just National City. It's everywhere.

Alex: Oh, gosh, I'm so glad you two are here. Uh, is Kelly around?
Supergirl: She just went to the lab with Brainy. Why? What's up?
Alex: Oh, I don't know. Maybe because this came in.
Supergirl: [she shows them an engagement ring] Ohhh! Oh, my god! Oh, my god! It's beautiful. She's gonna love it.
J'onn: Uh, I forgot. Tomorrow night's the big night, right?
Alex: Yes, it is the anniversary of the moment that I knew I was in love with Kelly.
Supergirl: Oh, I love this story. Tell it, tell it, tell it.
Alex: Okay, okay, okay. So, we're at Al's and everybody's there arguing about the greatest movie villain of all time. And she and I both say at the same time...
Supergirl: Hans Gruber.
Alex: Yes.
J'onn: Who knew Al's bar was so romantic?
Alex: Yeah. And it's gonna be even more so after I set it up. I'm thinking rose petals on the tabletop that we shared, and so many candles, we'll probably break the fire code. Esme and I are gonna take all the supplies there to Al's now so that it's easy to set up tomorrow. But, um, listen, I won't be gone long, so I can be back to help with Nxyly.
Supergirl: Go, go. We will let you know when we're ready. Just go. Get out of here.

Alex: I have kept my distance, I have given you time to grieve without prodding, without making you talk about Mon-El.
Kara: There's nothing to talk about.
Alex: Without forcing you to go game nights or come to the bar.
Kara: There was a burglary.
Alex: There's always a burglary! But I have let it slide. Your pity party has gone on uninterrupted.
Kara: My... my pity party?
Alex: Who are you right now? Kara Danvers doesn't quit.
Kara: She quits the things that aren't important.
Alex: CatCo is important. You help people there.
Kara: Not like Supergirl does.
Alex: Kara Danvers...
Kara: Kara Danvers sucks right now! Supergirl is great. Supergirl saved the world. So if I could choose to be her, why would I ever choose to be the sad girl whose boyfriend is gone? I don't like that girl, Alex.

Supergirl: Ever since I got back from the Phantom Zone, ever since Nxyly arrived, I feel like I have been one step behind on everything. And the stakes are so high, like, if we make one wrong move, it could mean literally the end of everything.
Alex: We are not going to let that happen. We just have to take things one step at a time. And step one is you need to get your butt to that interview. We will take care of the nightmare creature. And step two, we need to take this freaking imp down.

Elseworlds: Well, well, well. A traitor in our midst.
Killer: You know, when I said you should get out there and start dating, Danvers, this isn't quite what I had in mind.
Elseworlds: I warned you.
Kara: No, I tricked her into opening my cell. We don't know each other.
Alex: Yes, we do. She's my sister.
Elseworlds: [preparing to fire his heat vision] Oh... well, then you can burn together.
Superman: [breaching in with the others] Hi. Nice suit.

Kara: Well, how was my article?
Alex: This is historic. Okay, people are gonna be talking about this article like they did with Woodward and Bernstein.
Kara: I don't care if they're talking about it, as long as they listen to it.

Alex: You have no idea how happy I am that you came back. Are we gonna be okay?
Kara: We're gonna be okay.

Querl: Cloaking tech. In order to eliminate this barrier, we'll have to hit it with something similar to the creator... something ancient. I've got it. The dust from the majestic tar pits emits Veridian, redistributing power, and...
[blowing dust on the elevator panel, revealing a hidden button]
Alex: No, no, no. Don't push it yet!
[he does, and the elevator beings to move]
Alex: If this elevator leads to where you think it's going, we're gonna need Supergirl.

Alex: You've always been like a father to me, and, J'onn, I... I choose you to be my family. And I want, if you will, to have you walk me down the aisle.
[he chokes up and tears start to well in his eyes]
Alex: Stop. Don't cry. If you cry, I'm gonna cry, and then everybody here's gonna know that we actually can cry. So...
J'onn: Uh... Alex, it would... it would be my honor.

Alex: So, Malefic's back in the Phantom Zone? I'm sorry that you couldn't save him, J'onn. I know that that's what you wanted to do. But I heard everything that you said to him.
J'onn: I just wish he could've taken it in. But maybe now that I remember, I'll have a chance to make things right at some point.
Alex: How could you ever think that I would say those things or think those things about you?
J'onn: I guess because I thought those things about myself.
Alex: Well, I remember you telling me once that true character reveals itself in times of hardship. And I know who you really are.

J'onn: No one knows who Midnight is, what planet she's from. One day, she just appeared on Mars to fight alongside the White Martians.
Alex: But why?
J'onn: Because she's fueled by death. The White Martians were quite happy to let her loose on my people.
Supergirl: How did you defeat her?
J'onn: I can't remember.
Querl: You're still recovering from the psychic trauma you experienced at the museum. It could affect your memory.
Supergirl: This feels personal, J'onn.

Ruby: So the sunlamps aren't working?
Samantha: Okay, so what's next?
Lena: Well, environmental factors can influence gene expression, turning it on and off. Maybe this Harun-El can rewrite the process. I could take this blood back to the lab and see if the Harun-El will rejuvenate your cells.
Alex: [Lena leaves] We're gonna figure this out. I promise, okay? Stay strong.

Alex: You were right, Kara. I searched all known Intergang hideouts. Picked up an energy signature.
J'onn: They must be using it to conceal Orlando and the other aliens.
Supergirl: That's their van.

Querl: The word "Leviathan" occurs six times in the Hebrew Bible. Never once does it appear in any historical scientific literature.
Alex: So how are we supposed to fight a highly secretive, thousand-year-old alien with powers that we have no idea how to beat?
Lena: Well, I know one person who spent his life fighting aliens, both real and imagined.
Supergirl: Your brother.
Lena: I know most of his minor weapons are in Fort Summit, but his truly horrendous ones, they were all destroyed by Superman.
Supergirl: That's not necessarily true. A lot of Lex's weapons are in the Fortress of Solitude.
[seeing her look of surprised shock]
Supergirl: Oh, it... it's a place Superman created. We keep things there that can harm us.
Lena: Well, you just go to the Fortress, and I'll give you a list of every weapon that Lex ever created.
Supergirl: Why don't you come with me? I mean, there's no telling what weapons we'll encounter.
Alex: And then Brainy and I will stay here, and we'll continue our search for Rip Roar and this Earth-Bender.
Querl: Supergirl, remember the strongest, most potent weapon is knowledge. So send me whatever you can find from the Fortress database.

Alex: Supergirl was just attacked with stolen alien weaponry on Fig and 8th. Winn said that she's okay, but...
J'onn: All right.
[to the DEO agents at large, then to Alex again]
J'onn: Let's move it out! Let's go.

Eliza: [seeing the canned cranberry sauce Alex bought] You didn't think about using real cranberries?
Alex: Well, like that's any better than this.
Kara: Well, it does look easier to digest. I'm still feeling queasy from hearing the audience cheer for Lockwood.
Alex: Look, don't beat yourself up, okay?
Lena: Yeah. It wasn't even supposed to be you up there.

Colonel: Where were you when you found this?
Supergirl: I was stopping an attack on two aliens by men in masks.
Colonel: But where?
Supergirl: Midtown Park.
Colonel: Were you ordered to patrol there?
Supergirl: I went because I heard...
Colonel: Were you ordered to patrol there?
Supergirl: No, ma'am.
Colonel: I know you've had free rein in the past, but things are different now. If you want to intervene in muggins, join the NCPD. This is the DEO. We swim in deeper waters. Our resources will not be used to investigate this manifesto. You tell Agent Dox to return to his other assignments, is that clear?
Supergirl,11163: Yes, ma'am.
Colonel: I may not be the Woman of Steel, but if you push me, you will find I do not bend. Dismissed.
[Alex and Kara turn to leave]
Colonel: And one more thing. I brought some sweet potato pie today. It's in the cafeteria. Happy Thanksgiving.

Alex: Well, this should help take away the pain temporarily.
Kara: I don't understand. You think that whoever did this to you was also the person that released Midnight?
J'onn: Yes. He said he was my brother. At first, I didn't believe him, but now I know it must be true.
James: How do you know?
J'onn: This is specifically a Martian form of agony. In the early days of Mars, there were two brothers, Phobos and Deimos. Their rivaly and bloodshed was the reason for the split of the Green and White Martians. To prevent this ever happening again, a curse was placed on the Green Martians. We call it Fa'ra'too'rik. It is the punishment for brother attacking brother.
Kara: But you've never even mentioned having a brother.
J'onn: I never knew of one. Seems... unthinkable. But perhaps his existence was hidden from me by my parents.
Alex: And hidden by the entire Martian community by their hive mind?
Kara: Well, we're going to find him, but first we need to deal with your pain.
J'onn: There is no cure for this on this planet.
Querl: There is in the future. We treat afflicted Euphorians, an alien race with similar brain structure to Martians, with Q waves.
[Kara shrugs her confusion]
Querl: They're narrow waveforms that exist between X and gamma rays. You haven't heard of them because Q waves don't get discovered until sometime in the late dark ages.
Alex: Actually, uh, Kelly's been using Q waves as part of her brain-computer interface at Obsidian.

Kara: Is James okay?
Alex: No, Kara. James' life is at stake and you left me here alone. And he's heading into surgery again.
Kara: What? Why?
Alex: He's bleeding internally. And his sister wanted the doctors to operate...
Kara: Hang on. Kelly's there? What... what is happening?
Alex: Well, you would know if you were here. We all need you here, Kara. He's headed into a very dangerous operation, and-and you may never get to say goodbye. And where are you, exactly? CatCo? Because, look, I-I called there, and they said that you haven't been there all day.
Kara: I... I'm helping J'onn with a lead.
Alex: J'onn needs a reporter to help fight Manchester Black? I mean, what-what are you gonna do, exactly? You gonna interview him?

Ruby: I'm sorry I was so rude to you before, Alex.
Alex: No, I, um... I'm sorry that I kept pushing you to feel better before you were ready. But I'm-I'm really happy that you taught M'yrnn how to play foosball.
Ruby: How long has he been sick?
Alex: Not very long. A few months. But he's very old; like, hundreds of years old.
Ruby: Do you think J'onn ever worries about what happened to his father will happen to him?
Alex: I don't know. Are you worried that what happened to your mom might happen to you?
[Ruby gives a small nod]
Alex: I wish, more than anything, that I could take this burden from you. I really wish that I could tell you that you never have to worry about that. But the truth is... I don't know. But I'll tell you what I do know. Some of the smartest people on the planet love your mom. And they're working day and night to find a cure. And those very same people, they love you. And I give you my word, Ruby, I will fight to protect you as long as I live.

Supergirl: Why are you fighting me so hard on this?
Alex: You realize that Purity is just toying with you, right?
Supergirl: If we have the chance to save Julia, we have to take it.
Alex: That is such a nice motto, Kara, but it's not very practical.
Supergirl: Excuse me?
Alex: No matter how much evidence piles up saying that you are wrong, you always hope.
Supergirl: That's my job.
Alex: Purity is evil. She is a Worldkiller. And there's two others out there just like her, endangering lives, and your feelings are costing us time.
Supergirl: Okay, my feelings have saved lives countless times.
[Alex turns to leave]
Supergirl: 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.
Supergirl: I know.
Alex: So, cynicism, that's what's keeping the rest of us alive.
Supergirl: Well, it seems like it's killing you. My sister, the sister I know, she has compassion for others.
Alex: I am just trying to do my job. Now, we've tried it your way. We did. But now we're gonna do it mine.

Kara: Alex, what's wrong? What is it?
Alex: Um... Maggie doesn't want to have kids.
Kara: I thought that was something you guys decided together.
Alex: No, it... it... I agreed because it's what she wanted.
Kara: Okay. Um... okay, you guys... you guys'll figure it out.
Alex: Maggie's not gonna change her mind. And the only way that we're gonna work through it is if I let it go. And I've tried, Kara. I've... I love her so much that it hurts.
[her emotions overwhelming her]
Alex: And I convinced myself that... that living a life with her, it was enough. But watching Ruby... I want all the experiences that mom had with us. You know? I... I want to take my kid camping, and I want to show her the constellations. I want to teach her how to read, and how to throw a punch. And how to make cheesy valentines. And I want to hold her when she has a bad dream, and I want to tell her that the world is a better place because she's in it.
Kara: Yeah.
Alex: [starting to cry] I want all of it. I want to be a mom. What am I gonna do?
