What? There's this... So there's this planet that a Durlan emissary took me to when I was a kid. It's got water, and a yellow sun. It's got everything we need to survive. My parents wouldn't find us there. We'd be together, we'd be safe. I think of this 'cause I'm reading this play right now, um... "Ro-mayo and Juliet".
Right. And... and there's this moment at the end where I am right now where they're about to run away together and live happily ever after, and I can't help but think that that could be us, you know.
Whoo! It is another beautiful day in National City, and the Girl of Steel is ready to take on the world. I am here to kick some ass, take some names, and do it all with an endearing smile on my face. So... bring it on. What have you got for me?
I know we've had our differences... but I've learned a lot from you. And the biggest thing I've learned is that, it's not the reporter that matters, it's the truth that matters. And CATCO will get the truth to more people. Also, I wanted to get the truth out so badly that I disobeyed you. I broke the rules. You were right. I was lucky when I posted my first blog on Cadmus without your permission. I let you down. And I apologize.
When Lex was arrested, my mother was there. My mother saw her son dragged, bleeding and raving, from her house, and when I got there, Lillian was tidying his room like he'd been away on a business trip. That's how I feel: cold and calm. Until I think about Beth dying in jail, and then I feel warm for a minute.
I just said that you did a good job, Danvers. You didn't give up, even when that whistle blower got killed. You weren't afraid to pursue the truth, no matter what the risk. And we need more reporters like that. More reporters like you, that care about the truth.
It's a thing some criminals use to get their charges dropped. It's a perfect storm for a defense attorney. Excessive force. Evidence contaminated by debris. Vigilante justice.
Kara
"Vigilante justice"? I stand for help, I help, and compassion. I did what I had to do to get those people out of there.
Yeah. You broke a guy's arm and gave another a concussion. And that was after you knocked in the roof of a National City landmark. And now, it just has a big Supergirl-sized hole in it.
Everything I do, I do for my people. Everything that you do for yours is to bolster your broken ego. You need this planet to worship you, the last daughter of a failed world. Because otherwise, your survival means nothing.
Ha. No, on the contrary. I see everything clearly. I came here in peace, which you refused. And all of the ugliness that's transpired is because of your righteousness, Kara Zor-El. Everything that happens from now on is your doing. Every city that burns, every nation that falls. For every child of Earth that cries out "Why is this happening?", the answer... is "Supergirl".
[entering Olivia's office] Oh my God! Enough. All right. Ladies, ladies. If I wanted to see this adolescent macho posturing, I would have stayed in D.C.
[to Olivia] Is this really who you want to be? [to both] Testosterone-driven windbags boasting about your big guns? Surely, we don't need to measure anything. We're wo-men. We're tough, we're wise, and we're way above this pettiness, so let's just.. roll up our sleeves and talk peace.
Oh. Oh, well, let me give you just a little bit of friendly advice, Rhea. That tiara that you have on the top of your head. It's overkill. Real royals, they don't need to try that hard. The thing is, that I have brokered peace between Kanye and Taylor Swift, so I think mediating peace between our two worlds should be a piece of cake. And... "The Future is Female", we've all read the T-shirts. So we are three strong, formidable women, and we can do anything we want. So let's just talk it out and come up with a harmonious solution, shall we?
Do you want to know the real reason why I left National City? I wasn't... happy. So I asked Siri "Where is the happiest place on Earth, Siri?", and she answered "Bhutan", so I booked my passage to the Himalayas and moved into a yurt. Now, do you have any idea what is in a yurt? Nothing. Nothing. Not even central air conditioning. But these people, they are happy. A child learns how to walk, they sing. A group of people come down from a hike, from the mountains, and they dance. A couple, they go on their first date and they throw a damn festival. And all of a sudden, the secret to happiness just dawned on me. It's human connection. And I could conquer the world at CatCo or I could twiddle my thumbs in the yurt, and the loneliness would feel exactly the same, because I was missing... the point. It's not about what you do. It's about who you love. And there are two people that you love trapped in an evil spaceship. Wanting to rescue them is not selfish. It's everything.
Kara
Yeah. Yeah. [pause] I've really missed your advice, Miss Grant.
Hey. What you said before, about Maggie, if I... if she was on that ship? You were right. I would do anything I could to save her. [getting more emotional] So, you better hurry.
When I was a child, I could look up into the skies and see Daxam in the stars. I was told so many times how terrible a place it was. But I couldn't understand that. Because they had families. Like us. People they loved. In a few minutes, this ship will be destroyed. And everyone on it. You don't want that. Save your people while you still have time.
Touching speech, Supergirl. Sadly, wasted on the wrong audience. When my own husband opposed me, I killed him. You really think you can tug at my heartstrings?
Yeah. She gave it to me the day I left Krypton. I'd just watched little Kal-El launch into space. Her world was falling apart around her, and even in he middle of that. she looked at me and smiled and said as long as I had this, I'd never be alone. She'd be with me in my dreams. I know we can't stay all day, but let's just stay a little while longer, please.
