Kara quotes from Supergirl

Winn

If you go after Maxwell Lord like this, then you know what, you're just proving him right. That you are no different from Astra or Non.

Kara

What if I'm not so different?

Winn

You have to be, Kara. Because if you aren't, then we lose.

Kara

I know there's nothing anyone can say to make you feel better right now.

Winn

Well, hey, you have a homicidal maniac in your family, too, so you know where I'm coming from.

I'm confused. Is it "Kira" or "Kara"?

Kara

"Kira" to your mom, "Kara" to literally everyone else on the planet, and beyond.

Winn

What, how- That's Cat's elevator.

Kara

It is absolutely ridiculous for her to have her own personal elevator. Plus, horrible for the environment.

Winn

You are literally impervious to bullets, and I'm worried for your safety right now.

[drawing circles on a whiteboard] All right. So imagine there are multiple versions of Earth. One where, uh... the Nazis won World War II , one where Kennedy was never assassinated...

Winn

[raising a hand like he's in a classroom] Okay, one where all of us are evil.

Barry

Been there. It sucks. So all of these Earths occupy the same place in space, but they vibrate at a different frequency, so they can't see one another.

Winn

Yeah, yeah, but it's like, if you can go fast enough, then it's possible to open, like, a breach and then travel between worlds.

Barry

Yeah.

James

But how could you travel that fast?

Barry

[amused] Uh, well, um...

Kara

[overjoyed] Yeess!!

Barry

Yeah. So, um... I was struck by lightning the same night a particle accelerator exploded, and I became a... superhero.

James

So, so, so... y-you're a superhero, too.

Barry

Mmm-hmm.

James

[subdued] Tha-that's cool, I guess.

Barry

What's the plan?

Kara

Catch the bad girl. Bring her back here so she can't hurt anyone. Eighty-five percent chance of punching.

Kara

When I was helping people as Supergirl, I was... I was so happy. And now that the people don't want me to help them, I feel lost. And I'm in such a hurry to prove myself again, I'm making stupid mistakes, like today.

Barry

This is going to sound ironic coming from me, but you need to slow down. Just keep doing your good work. Don't worry about the rest. The public will forgive you, I promise.

Kara

How can you be so sure?

Barry

'Cause the same thing happened to me.

Kara

Really?

Barry

Mm-hmm.

Kara

So what finally fixed things?

Barry

Time.

Cat

Tell Mr. Allen to have a good time zipping around in his red outfit.

Kara

Wait, you knew he was the Flash?

Cat

Oh, please. Barry shows up, the Flash shows up, his insistence on that silly name, and he was so unfailingly charming and nice that he had to be either a superhero or a Mormon. Kira, I can spot the extraordinary pretending to be a nobody in my midst just like that! [snaps her fingers right in front of Kara's face.]

James

Well, I'm just happy that you're safe and the three of us are back together.

Kara

Me, too.

James

But I think we should talk about that thing that happened, uh... right before Myriad struck.

Kara

The thing.

James

Yeah. The thing thing.

Kara

[realizing] The thing.

James

Hmm.

Winn

[understanding] Oh, this thing has nothing to do with me. All good. I got other things. [leaves]

My hero.

Kara

Clarkǃ OMGǃ How are you feeling?

Oooǃ Is this what a hangover feels like?

Kara

You're asking the wrong girl.

Clearly you're made of much stronger stuff.

Kara

Only just figured that out?

Seriously. You saved the world, Kara. I couldn't be prouder.

Cat

This is a step up for you, Kira. This is your "end-of-Working Girl-moment." And if you take advantage of it, I really believe that you can change the world. [turns and starts to leave]

Kara

Miss Grant? [Cat turns around.] The end of Working Girl always makes me cry.

Cat

Oh. Me, too. [makes a deep dramatic sigh] If you work hard, there might be a window in your future... Kara.

Kara

I love being Supergirl, that part of my life is clear. But the rest of it....

You mean Jimmy?

Kara

How'd you know that?

It's super-telepathy. It's a power you'll get someday.

Kara

Really?

No. Jimmy and I are friends. We talk.

Kara

Okay. Uh... I made my decision.

Cat

[consults her smart phone] Forty-three minutes before the deadline. This better be good.

Kara

[deep breath] I want to be a reporter. I can't believe I didn't see it before. Being a reporter's about connecting with people, it's about finding hidden truths and sharing it with the world. It's about service. And telling the stories that need to be told in order to make the world a better and more comprehensible place. And it's going to make me the best version of myself as it will definitely push me out of my comfort zone. This is it for me, this is my calling.

Snapper Carr

You don't get a chair, Ponytail.

Kara

That's fine. I like action better anyway. I can pound the pavement.

Snapper

You don't get a chair 'cause you don't work here.

Kara

But that's not your call. Miss Grant hired me.

Snapper

I don't care what Cat says. My office, my hires.

Kara

But this is the job I chose.

Snapper

Oh, you chose it. Well, you didn't earn it. You don't just become a reporter. This isn't a Facebook status update. You're a reporter because you went to journalism school or because you walked the beat. Either way, journals live to tell stories. To get to the truth. To get their hands dirty.

Kara

I'll admit I have a lot to learn, but if you just give me an assignment --

Snapper

No assignment. No job. Now get your entitled ass out of my office before I channel my last divorce and break you emotionally.

Winn

Hey, how's your article coming?

Kara

Awful.

Winn

Oh, uh, there's... there's no "k" in "diabolical".
