Birds of Prey · Season 1, Episode 1

Helena and Barbara in “Premiere”

Helena

I'm telling you, word on the street are that these deaths are your garden-variety "goodbye, cruel world." Is there anything to eat in here?

Barbara

The way they did it, it's almost as if they were RUNNING from something...

Helena

There's never any food. Gazillion dollars worth of computer equipment and not one jar of peanut butter!

Barbara

This doesn't make any sense. If I were gonna kill myself-

Helena

You wouldn't.

Barbara

[Taken aback] What?

Helena Kill yourself. You wouldn't. [Holds up some crackers] Do you know how old these are?

Barbara [Splutters] Wait, what do you mean, I wouldn't kill myself?

Helena It's just not your nature.

Barbara

[Rolls away from her desk] I resent that. I'm as broody and romantically self-destructive as the next girl!

Helena Yeah, in a "Let's go get the bad guys, let nothing stand in the path of the mission" sort of way! You know, I'M the one that does all the night sweeps, I'M the one that does all the fieldwork, I'M the one with bruises in really embarrassing places - Would it KILL you to go to the grocery store every once in a while‽

Barbara

...What is this obsession with food?

Helena

You try fighting the forces of evil when your blood sugar's low!
