Alex Danvers quotes from Supergirl

Alex

So what do we do now?

Hank

We don't do anything

Alex

No. No. No. That's not happening. We are going to bring this thing in together.

Hank

We are not bringing this in.

Alex

What do you mean?

Hank

You know exactly what I mean... I will find its lair. And when I do I will drop this human coat I wear and break its body in half and bury it in the dry sand.

Alex

I sent a team to scan the area. No signs of extraterrestrial activity, so we can probably rule out an alien shapeshifter. Unless there's something you're not telling us.

Hank

The skirt was surprisingly comfortable, but no.

Alex

He all but admitted it. He took all those girls. All seven. Even the Bizarro you.

Hank

Is that what we're calling it?

Supergirl

Another Catco trademark.

Hank

What the hell do you think you're doing, Alex?

Alex

I have no choice, Hank. He's had us under surveillance. He knows about the D.E.O., he knows about Kara.

Hank

I don't care if he's got the nuclear codes and his finger's on the button. That is not some anonymous alien you've brought in. That is Maxwell Lord, head of a multi-billion dollar organization. Time magazine's ranking person of the year. Everybody's gonna be looking for this guy.

Alex

They won't find him.

Hank

You're compromising the security of this entire operation.

Alex

And he is compromising the security of my family. Guess which one I care about more. We are all willing to do a lot of things to protect our secrets, Hank. I would think you'd understand that better than anyone.

Alex

Astra may have been Kara's enemy on the battlefield, but she was also family. She's taking it hard.

Hank

Yeah, I knew she would.

Alex

She never stopped believing Astra could be saved.

Hank

That's the difference between soldiers and heroes.

Alex

Sir, why did you lie to Kara?

Hank

Because you're Supergirl's hero. And I don't want her to see you as anything but.

You waisted your ammo.

Alex

No I didn't! Because here comes the sun.

Alex

If you don't have better angels, and I suspect you don't. You should know, we have a mass the size of this room documenting your crimes. Ready for immediate release to law enforcement. You tell on us. We tell on you.

Maxwell

Mutually assured destruction. You make me nostalgic for the Cold War, Alex.

Alex

Das vedanya.

Maxwell

Brrr.

Alex

I have worked for that man for the last two years, He has never endangered this planet, he has protected it.

Two years? This alien is over 300 years old. Two years is like a coffee break to him.

Supergirl

What am I gonna do without you?

Alex

You don't need me. You never have.

Supergirl

Yeah well you still took care of me anyway.

Supergirl

Where are we?

Hank

The Department of Extranormal Operations.

Supergirl

Wait. Wait, wait, wait. This has always been here? With the glass and the views and... and you made me fly into that cave every day?

Hank

D.E.O. has several facilities, Kara

Supergirl

A bat bit me in the last one.

Hank

Whiner.

Alex

Hey, sis.

Supergirl

You knew about this place, too?

Alex

Yeah. It's, like, a block from my apartment. It's kinda like the old place. Maybe better.

Alex

Here we are. Once again doing everything we can to help Kara, to keep her safe. Do you know the... the last time I went on a date? [whispers] Two years ago. You date more often than I do.

Winn

Rude. You ever spend time inside a foster home?

Alex

No.

Winn

Yeah, well, I have. After my father went to prison. And I gotta say, it is nothing but being told how grateful you should be that someone is taking care of you. Dude, that's not family. Family is not about scorekeeping or who did more. It's just about showing up. So just chill with the attitude, okay?

Alex

I know. I know what you're gonna say. I should have waited for you.

Supergirl

No. I was gonna say "You should have waited for me, dummy." What if he'd actually been there? What would you have done?

Alex

My job.

Supergirl

[sighs] Make smarter choices next time. [walks off]

Alex

Yes, ma'am.

Mon-El

So what do you guys do for fun around here? You drink, or dance, or... Oh, hey, do they play garrata here?

Alex

What's "garatta"?

Supergirl

It's like soccer. With dragons.

Winn

No. Not that. Uh, we have... PlayStation...

Mon-El

Great. So when do we get outta here and do that... that thing you just said?

Alex

Hey, stop! Back up!

They know who really looks out for them.

Supergirl

Stand down! Everybody stand down! Things are bad I know, but fighting amongst each other, that's what they want us to do. Other aliens are not the enemy, [points at Roulette] she is! And the more we fight each other, the more we distract each other from the real problems: Cadmus, people like Roulette. They say we are dangerous, that's what they want everyone to believe. Don't let them be right about us.

Alex

When you first arrived at our house, I thought "Finally, I have a sister".

Kara

An alien sister.

Alex

Even better. But I still wanted you to be just like me, to do everything I did. So I dragged you out to science fairs.

Kara

Those were so boring.

Alex

Made you watch scary movies.

Kara

What do you have against a good old romantic comedy?

Alex

Forced you to listen to the music that I liked.

Kara

Yeah, your punk rock phase was very strange.

Alex

But, finally, I let it go, let you do your own thing, find your own hobbies, listen to your own weird music.

Kara

Weird? NSYNC, first of all, is not weird, and second of all, they are amazing.

Alex

Mon-El is not you, just like you're not me. So what works for you might not work for him. You know, people just have to... we have to figure out what works for them, know who they are inside, what they're meant to be.

Kara

So you're saying the job and sweater and the glasses are a bit too much?

Alex

Not everyone can rock argyle like you do.
