Birds of Prey · Season 1, Episode 1

Helena and Dr. Quinzel in “Premiere”

Helena

After my mother's death, I learned more than just my father's identity - I learned he had a whole other life.

Dr. Quinzel

I'm not sure I understand. Do you mean another family?

Helena

More like a... REALLY AGGRESSIVE hobby.

Dr. Quinzel

A dangerous one.

Helena

Uh... YEAH. I guess a part of me I blamed him for what happened to my mother. If Barbara hadn't taken me in...

Dr. Quinzel

Why did she do that?

Helena

I've known her since I was kid. She was just trying to help.

Dr. Quinzel

Human beings are essentially selfish creatures, Helena. No matter how we try and mask it to the world or ourselves. You say Barbara rescued you. Did she do that for you? Or for herself?
