Kara quotes from Supergirl

Kara

James, part of being your own man is knowing when to ask for help.

Kara

Chocolate pecan pie is the best dessert in the galaxy, and as someone who's been to twelve different planets, I mean that literally.

Kara

Whenever I'm confused or overwhelmed I come in your office and you somehow sense it-like your superpower. I know I'm not going to be your assistant for the rest of my life, but I do know whatever I do next will be easier because of everything you taught me. And the truth is I need you now more than I ever have.

Kara

When you are an alien, you are willing to sacrifice anything, everything, betray your fundamental instincts just to fit in. To belong somewhere, to find your place in the world.

Kara

Do you know what kind of words your son's been using? Words like "rescue" and "love". Says he wants to rescue you like you rescued him. But if he kills Alex Danvers, he'll never be rescued. He'll have to live with that for the rest of his life, and that'll be his Hell. Now you've done a lot of bad things in your life, but you've done one thing you can be proud of. You were a father. A good one. You were there for your son during the toughest time of his life, and that's what you need to do again now. If he kills her... you will have failed at the one good thing you've done with your life. Be a father now.

Kara

Hi. Hi. I'm, uh... I'm sorry to bother you during, um... whatever it is you're doing, but I think I took a wrong turn at Albuquerque. Can any of you give me directions back to Earth? [gets out of the car nonchalantly while the White Martians roar] You know, I thought I took that tunnel, but my GPS is all screwed up down here, and it keeps trying to get me to make the suicidal left turn.

Kara

I know you feel you've gone too far to ever be Russell again, but you're wrong. It is never too late to make things right, or, at least, better.

Uh, there's something about me that for most of my life, I've run from it. But last night, I embraced who I am and I don't want to stop.

Winn Schott

Oh, my God, you're a lesbian. Oh, Kara, that's why you're not into me. This is... this is great news!

Kara

I'm not gay! I'm... I'm her! The woman who saved the plane!

Winn

Okay. Yeah, okay. Right. [Kara walks toward the ledge] Kara, what are you doing? Hey, Kara! Hey, get away from the ledge, you're gonna get hurt. [Kara jumps off] Kara! Hey! [Kara flies back up and lands on the roof] You're... You're her.

Kara

Yup.

Winn

This one has the "S". For "Super", just like your cousin.

Kara

It's not an "S". It's my family coat of arms. The House of El.

Kara

[on discovering that Cat dubbed her "Supergirl"] Supergirl? We can't name her that!

Cat

We didn't.

Kara

Right, I'm sorry. It's just, uh... A female superhero. Shouldn't she be called Super... woman?

Cat

I'm sorry, darling, I just can't hear you over the loud color of your cheap pants.

Kara

If we call her Supergirl, something less than what she is, doesn't that make us guilty of, of being anti-feminist? Didn't you say she's the hero?

Cat

I'm the hero. I stuck a label on the side of the girl. I branded her. She will forever be linked to CatCo, to the Tribune, to m e. And what do you think is so bad about "girl?" Huh? I'm a girl. And your boss, and powerful, and rich, and hot and smart. So if you perceive Supergirl as anything less than excellent, isn't the real problem you?

Winn

Oh, God. Is that smell you?

Kara

Three showers and I still reek of burning oil. I went from superhero to eco-terrorist in a single bound.

Kara

I am not doing that interview. No. I can't... I mean I can't. Ms. Grant's not stupid. She'd recognize me in, like, one second.

James Olsen

She will look at Supergirl right in the face and she will not see her assistant.

Kara

How can you be so sure?

James

Because she doesn't see you now. I watched it happen for years with your cousin. Why don't you think that people recognize him as Clark Kent?

Kara

Reading glasses and a good slouch?

James

No, he's able to hide because the world can't believe he's really a hero in their mist.

Kara

Yeah, and I'm sure there's a good reason why my cousin keeps his job at the Daily Planet instead of flying around as Superman all the time, which would be so much easier.

James

Yeah, well, one, he's able to pay his rent.

Kara

Maybe I put the "S" on too soon.

James

Kara, look at the window. Tell me what you see.

Kara

Buildings. Billboards. There's that bar where that guy cards me all the time. He knows how old I am.

James

I see a city full of people who need help. Who need a hero.

Kara

You really think so?

James

If anyone can fill Superman's boots... It's you.

Hank

Have you lost your mind? What were you thinking giving interviews?

Kara

I wouldn't say it was an interview exactly. It was more of a private conversation that's being published.

Hank

What's next? A book deal? A reality show? "Keeping Up with the Kryptonians"?

James

[shows his signal watch] Kara, he gave me this a long time ago. If I ever got in trouble, I could contact him.

Kara

But you weren't in trouble. When did you even call him? The second I left?

James

Kara, I made a promise to your cousin. If anything ever happened to you...

Kara

My cousin doesn't get a "get out of a jam card" when he first started. Neither should I.
