Alex Danvers quotes from Supergirl

[drunkenly] Hey... Hey, you look like my sister.

Alex

Are you slurring your words?

Am I? [slowly] Cho-co-late. Cho-co-late.

Alex

Wow, Kara Danvers drunk. That... that's a first. Hey... wow... hey, have you seen– [looks around and sees Maggie at the pool table] You know... I'm driving you home.

I'm not flying. That's for sure.

Maggie Sawyer

How are you doing with all that? [referring to Alex coming out]

Alex

I just... I don't know what to do now. I mean, I'm almost 30, and I feel like a kid again.

Well, everyone's experience is different. I can only tell you what I did.

Alex

Which was what?

I came out to my family.

Alex

How did they take it?

Well, um, my dad isn't exactly known for his open-mindedness, but he was pretty good. And so was my mum.

Alex

Maybe it's just a phase? You know, maybe it isn't real?

No, it's real. You're real, and you deserve to have a real, full, happy life. Okay? Tell your family. This is the biggest thing that's ever happened to you, and you shouldn't have to do it alone.

Alex

I have you.

Yeah, you do. And I'm good for a drink when you come out.

Alex

You promise?

Cross my heart.

Alex

You've been weird ever since I told you.

I don't mean to be.

Alex

Kara, I know when you're sad, or when you're disappointed. I don't know what I would do if you were disappointed in me.

I would never be disappointed in you, but you said you didn't want to talk about it anymore.

Alex

Well, I do. If... if you're not okay with it...

I'm SO okay with it! Sit down. Alex, come and talk with me. [Alex sits] I think I owe you an apology.

Alex

For what?

For not creating an environment where you felt that you could talk about this with me. All those years we spent together growing up, the endless nights talking and sharing, now I realize that they were all about me and my secret. There's never been room for you, and that's my fault. And I'm so sorry.

Alex

You didn't do anything wrong.

And I know... I know that this is not the same at all, but I do know how it feels to keep a part of yourself shut off, to keep it inside. And I know how lonely that can make you feel. But Alex, you are not alone.

Alex

I can't do this without you.

You don't have to. So what about Maggie? What's she like?

Alex

I... I just like her so much. You know, she's smart and she's tough and she's just beautiful. She's so beautiful.

So are you.

[The Danvers sisters hug, Alex gets a message on her phone]

Alex

D.E.O.'s reporting an alien attacking civilians in an alleyway downtown.

I'll go get the alien. You get the girl.

C'mon Alex, we're friends.

Alex

No, Maggie, we're not friends.

Umm, okay, I'm lost. What happened?

Alex

We hung out, we got close. Then you called me out for liking you, and then I had the guts to admit "yes, it's true." And you told me that my feelings were real and that I deserve to be happy. And so I thought you meant that I deserve to be happy with you.

Alex, I–

Alex

No, I'm not done. Because then you convinced me to come out to my sister, and I did. Because I was sure of one thing, and that was my feelings for you. Initially I was terrified, but ultimately I was proud to come out. Because it wasn't just some concept, it was about my feelings for this amazing woman. But now, I don't feel liberated or like I'm on some great journey. All I feel is pain because you don't want me.

View quote →

I really need to talk to you. And if you just give me two minutes of your time I promise I'll be out of your hair.

Alex

Two minutes.

I heard everything you said. I get it. And if you never wanna talk to me again, I'll respect that, I'll disappear. But I don't meet many people that I care about, and I care about you a lot. You've become really important to me, and umm I hope that one day you and I can be friends. Because I don't want to imagine my life without you in it.

Alex

[goes back into the apartment] Pool, tomorrow night.

Wouldn't miss it.

[comes to Alex who is working on the computer] So, what is it?

Alex

I've got the mainframe breaking down the virus on a molecular level.

No, I mean I know you've been trying to tell me something.

Alex

Oh, no. No. [collects herself] How?

Keeping a secret disagrees with you, sweetie.

Alex

This isn't like that, Mom.

Does it have anything to do with Maggie? You mention her a lot. Oh, my beautiful Alexandra, why is it so hard for you to tell me?

Alex

I feel like I'm... letting you down. Somehow.

Why would your being gay ever let me down?

Alex

You always wanted me to have a regular life.

Alex, look at the life our family has led. Look at me, look at your sister. I don't think you believed that I ever expected you to have a regular life. You were always gonna be different, Alex, because you were always exceptional, and I love you however you are. Come here! [hugs Alex]

[arrives at Alex's apartment with a pizza] Hey. Hungry?

Alex

Yes. Come in, please. Ignore the pajamas.

No, they're cute.

Alex

It's late. You got a case or something? Oh God, I could really use a good old-fashioned murder right now.

I didn't come here for work. I just really needed to see you and talk to you.

Alex

Is everything okay?

Umm... Well, here's the thing: I– I almost died.

Alex

Uh... Yeah, no I would not have let that happen.

I know that, but um... It got me thinking that I– I was so stupid. I thought that, and I guess it was kinda right, that you came out for me, and that scared me. Umm.. but umm... Life is too short, and we should be who we are, and we should kiss the girls that we want to kiss. And I really just... I– I want to kiss you. [kisses Alex]

I'm scared

Alex

You don't think I was afraid the first time I went out in the field? Dude, I was terrified. But nobody gets better by running away.

Alex

My parents always relied on me to watch over my sister, so the few times that I ever did anything for myself, it ended badly. And then Supergirl went missing and I just blew a gasket...

Because Supergirl's your sister.

Alex

What are you talking about?

Come on. Look, I know you. The only person you get that torn up over is Kara. Plus the glasses don't help.

Alex

I always said that too. It's kind of ridiculous.

Alex

If anyone can help her, J'onn, it's you. I know how you feel about White Martians --

Don't ask me to do this, Alex.

Alex

You have shown them mercy before --

NOT THIS!! I will not give her my people's memories! I will not give her my daughter's smiles! Her kind has taken enough from me. From us. If she dies, she dies. She deserves it a thousand times over. Let her drown in her own sins.

View quote →

Alex

When I needed her (M'gann) -- when you needed her -- she opened up a vein for you. I mean, she had to know that there was a chance saving you would reveal her a White Martian. She did it anyway. She said she tried to help your kind.

I suspect that's true.

Alex

Then what's the harm in the Bond? I mean, if you can see into her past, maybe you can find some good in there.

I don't want to forgive her.

Alex

Why?

Hate becomes your reason for living when you've lost everything that you love. If I find that there was some good in her kind... I don't hate her.

Alex

Forgiveness isn't something that you give to somebody who's hurt you. Forgiveness is something that you give to yourself.

I am very excited to meet Alex's new mystery man.

Hey, do we know what he does for a living? Alex's guy?

Cop.

Yeah, no way Alex Danvers dates someone who doesn't own a firearm.

[Alex and Maggie arrive]

Alex

Hey, you guys. Hey, um, you all remember Maggie, right?

[after comprehending that Alex and Maggie are dating] Hey, yeah, good to see you again.

Alex! I... I didn't know. [points at Hank] Did you know?

Of course I knew. I'm psychic.

Alex

How come you never said anything before?

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.

Very lucky.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

Then find something to prove her innocent.

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

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

[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.

Lena is not Lex.

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.

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

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.

Alex

Um, Dad, this is my girlfriend, Maggie.

Things have changed. There's no man on Earth good enough for Alex Danvers, so it would have to be someone like you.

Oh, flattery. And you're right, Alex does deserve the best. Here. [hands him a bottle in a brown paper bag]

And you brought... [looks in the bag] tequila! Okay, she's family.

Alex

How could you? How could you?

Would you believe me if I said that I did it for you?

Alex

You betrayed everyone at the D.E.O., your friends, our family, everyone that I love. And you did that for me?

Family's complicated, honey.

Alex

I'm bringing you in.

Not alive, you're not. If you want to bring me in, you're gonna have to shoot me. If you do it... I'll understand. You were always the best part of me.
