Lena Luthor quotes from Supergirl

Lena

Of course, you assumed the worst. I'm not the bad guy.

Kara

I know. You spent years trying to be open and trusting, even when everyone expected you to be like your family. Even when everyone in your life let you down. [crying] Even when I was weak and lied to you, knowing that all you ever asked for was the truth, you were always better. Lex took advantage of my weakness and he used it to manipulate you. He wanted my mistakes to change you. He wanted you to become him. But you are nothing like him. Nothing. Don't let my mistakes turn you into something you're not.

Lena

I am good. And I always was. Lex didn't change me, and you didn't change me, either. You just exposed me to the ugliness of humanity. You did me a favor, Kara. I learned what kind of deceitful person you are, and that's what inspired me to do this.

Kara

Lena...

Lena

Your words mean nothing to me anymore. Spare us both the drama. Leave me alone.

Hope

Supergirl caused you a great deal of pain. I can see it in your eyes.

Lena

After my family and after Andrea, I knew better than to trust in friendship anymore.

Hope

All of the anguish that you're going through, it doesn't seem worth it.

Lena

It inspired Non Nocere. It inspired you. Who needs friends when you can save the world?

Lena

You're dead.

Lex

So, you remember everything?

Lena

Of course I remember everything! I killed you!

Lex

Yes, that's right, you killed me. But that is in the past. Because I'm back now, and I forgive you.

Lena

What are you talking about? What is happening?

Lex

Well, it was, uh... sort of a Crisis.

Lena

It was an... antimatter wave.

Lex

Ah, yes.

Lena

Alex and I worked together.

Lex

Mmm-hmm.

Lena

We built a portal... The wave still came.

Lex

Yes, and billions were lost and the multi-verse collapsed, and it was all every interesting. What matters now is that a very powerful person brought me back to life to help. But I refused to do so, unless he promised that you would make through okay, and you have, with your noggin intact.

Lena

You gambled the fate of the entire multi-verse to get your own way?

Lex

It gets better. In this new world, we work side by side as Luthor Corp and the DEO to make the world a better place.

Lena

So I'm in hell.

Lex

No, no, you're in a new reality. To the outside world, we're billionaire philanthropists. It's the perfect cover.

Lena

I want nothing to do with you.

Kara

I've been looking for you.

Lena

Here I am.

Kara

So, uh, there's something I... I have to tell you. I know you think Lex is a good man, that he's your partner...

Lena

Save it. I already know.

Kara

What exactly do you know?

Lena

Crisis, what Lex did. What you did.

Kara

Lex.

Lena

That you took the punch. What did you think would happen when you came here? That you'd tell me everything in a fit of selflessness, even if it meant that I knew how you betrayed me, and then I'd just keel over and forgive you?

Kara

Lena, I hurt you. I... I know I hurt you. And I'm never, ever going to do it again. I know how much good you want to do in the world. Just think of what we could do together to help people.

Lena

Funny. Lex gave me the same pitch.

Lena

Will you truly be on your best behavior? No homicides?

Lex

No unnecessary homicides.

Lena

Let me guess. You're here to tell me once again that I should forgive you. Or maybe that I shouldn't work with my brother?

Kara

Not this time. I recognize I made a mistake in hiding my identity from you for so long, but the past is the past, and I can't change it. Forgive me or not, that's your choice. Just like it's your choice to work with Lex. I'm done blaming myself for your bad decisions.

Lena

Then why are you here?

Kara

To tell you that from now on, you're accountable for your own actions. If you decide to forgive me, I will be there for you. But if you continue to work with Lex, if you go through with whatever it is the two of you are planning, I will do everything in my power to stop you. Just like I would any other villain.
