Kara quotes from Supergirl

Core stabilized.

Kara

Oh, that was a close one.

Winn

Close? We had, like, you know, 12 seconds to spare.

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

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] Did you know?

Hank

Of course I knew. I'm psychic.

Alex

How come you never said anything before?

Hank

It's not for me to say. Good for you, Alex.

Alex

[cleaning James' wounds] You're lucky you didn't take a direct hit.

Kara

Very lucky.

James

I had my shield. I love that shield. [Kara gives him a pointed look] And I know what I'm doing, Kara.

Kara

Even if Metallo is weakening though, he's still a fanatic follower of Lillian Luthor. We have to find out where he's taking Lena and how to help her.

James

What is it gonna take for you to realize that Lena is a criminal? She's not the victim. She got the kryptonite, he broke her out of prison.

Kara

Lena is not a member of Cadmus! She's not! She stopped the game with alien weapons, she saved Alex's life when Corben tried to kill her.

James

She shot Corben and then her crazy Mom turned Corben into Metallo, so that could've been the plan the entire time.

Hank

We have to start treating Lena Luthor like a hostile. The evidence is too overwhelming.

Kara

Winn? If you watch that video, I know you'll find something.

Winn

I did, it's... it's clean.

Kara

Then find something to prove her innocent.

Hank

Everything we've seen so far says the exact opposite.

Kara

Well, she's my friend, and I believe in her. [leaves room]

James

[follows Kara out the room] I'm your friend. Which is why I don't understand why it's so hard for you to believe me. People don't remember this, Kara, but Clark and Lex Luthor used to be best friends. For years. And Clark believed in Lex for the longest time. No matter what people said. No matter what kind of proof he saw with his own eyes. No. Lex was his friend. But Clark was wrong.

Kara

Lena is not Lex.

James

But they grew up in the same house, Kara. I don't understand why you keep defending her. And you have so much faith in her, but none in me as Guardian.

Kara

That's entirely different. I am trying to protect you.

James

I do not need your protection. I need your trust. You have mine. I don't understand why it's so hard for me to get yours.

Winn

You know, the backseat driving... not helping.

Kara

Sorry. Have you found anything yet?

Winn

I promise I will tell you. Haven't you ever heard the phrase "a watched pot never..." oh, woah wait a second, I might be simmering.

Kara

I'm not one to usually gloat or say "I told you so", but... doesn't seem like I was the one with confirmation bias.

Snapper

Yesterday, she was guilty. Today, she's not. It's not confirmation bias, Danvers. It's just the news game. Since you got enough time on your hands to stand around and look up at that TV, how 'bout you get out there, get an exclusive on Lena Luthor? This time... try to spell "exclusive" right.

Lena

[putting down Kara's article about her] It's a good article. You flatter me.

Kara

I only wrote the truth. I'm learning to keep digging, even when all the evidence points one way. There's always another side.

Lena

Even when it's hard to find.

Kara

Especially when it's hard to find. [pause] So my office is overflowing with flowers...

Lena

Really?

Kara

Yeah. [both smile] You didn't have to do that.

Lena

Yeah, I did. Supergirl told me that it was you who sent her. I don't know how to thank you.

Kara

Well, that's what friends are for.

Lena

Yeah, never had friends like you before. Come to think of it, I've never had a family like you. No one's ever stood up for me like that.

Kara

Now you have someone who will stand up for you, always.

Lena

Well, Supergirl may have saved me, but Kara Danvers, you are my hero.

Hank

On Earth, it's customary to send messages on Valentine's Day. We had a similar custom on Mars.

Kara

Well, it's too bad you can't call her (M'gann).

Hank

We Martians are a psychic people. All our communication was through thought. But when we had something really important to say, we would often write it down. On some planets, to write something down is to truly say it.

Kara

See, that's the thing, Mxy. I'm not going to marry you.

What do you mean?

Kara

I brought you to the Fortress in case you got violent again, because I didn't want anyone to get hurt when I broke the news. It's not going to work between us, ever.

But you said... [pause] You don't love me?

Kara

Love isn't making demands of someone or forcing them to marry you. Love is putting someone else's needs above your own.

Jeremiah

So lucky you found me. I'm so lucky to be back with you two.

Mon-El

It's more than luck.

J'onn

What do you mean?

Mon-El

We got an alert that Cadmus was moving a weapon. We don't get alerts unless they're releasing a video or we catch them red-handed.

Kara

But we did catch them red-handed.

Mon-El

No, they were waving their red hands around in the air literally like they just didn't care.

Kara

You're firing me.

Snapper

Of course I am... Danvers.com. You deliberately published an article using CatCo resources on a competing social media platform, which is not only a conflict of interest, but also a direct and flagrant breach of contract.

Kara

But you refused to run the story. I thought what I was doing was right.

Snapper

What "right"? You were lucky. Next time, you might not be. One wrong statistic about the stock market, and suddenly we're in a Great Depression. One misattributed quote from a candidate, and you put a fascist in the White House. The rules are there for a reason: to make sure you get the story right. That's not luck. That's being a good reporter. Y'know, the worst part is... I was rootin' for you.

Kara

I don't want another job. Reporting is my calling, I help people.

Mon-El

Yeah, you know who else does?

Kara

Who?

Mon-El

Supergirl.

Kara

It's just that... when I write, I don't need a yellow sun, it's just me. Supergirl is what I can do, Kara is who I am.

Mon-El

Hey, hey, I've been doing some very serious research on human relationships, and by now in the movie, the girl usually forgives the guy for whatever dumb thing he's done.

Kara

I had a nice chat with your mother.

Mon-El

Yeah, okay. What'd she want?

Kara

You. She wants to talk to you.

Mon-El

I'm not going back there.

Kara

Well, I tried.

Mon-El

What, that's it?

Kara

What else am I supposed to say? Nothing's changed for me.

Mon-El

Just tell me what to do, okay? Tell me what it is and I will fix it.

Kara

You can't! Okay? You can't take back the fact that you lied to me, you can't unring that bell.

Mon-El

Well, I can try.

Kara

Just forget about you and me for one second. Do you even understand the second chance you've been given? You thought you were the last Daxamite and you're not. Your people are alive. Your parents are alive. They need you. They love you. Don't just throw that chance away, because many of us don't get one. Now, you're a prince, so start acting like it.

Kara

You just want things to be easy, Mon-El, but being a hero and falling in love, those are not easy things. They're hard, and they're messy, and they hurt sometimes.

Mon-El

I would never hurt you on purpose, Kara.

Kara

And you won't again.

Mon-El

Kara, don't.

Kara

I can't, I can't do this. No, it's over.

Winn

I just gotta say that I'm pretty sure that this Cisco fellow and I would just be BFFs if, you know, we lived in the same dimension.

Kara

Yeah, don't tempt me. 'Cause I could use an... Inter-dimensional post-break-up vacay.

Kara

What smells so... [gasps] Is that hash browns?

Mon-El

No no no no no no no. I'm trying to make you breakfast in bed. I'm going for full romance here, and you have ruined it.

Kara

Honey, listen, very sweet, but there's no way you're getting in the way of me and... BACON! And biscuits. And oh, is that a poached egg?

Mon-El

Yeah.

Kara

How'd you learn how to poach?

Mon-El

Oh, I found the instructions. [holds up a copy of "The Joy of Cooking"] Turns out books have a lot more useful information than YouTube.

Kara

Hey!

Mon-El

Who knew?
