Supergirl quotes from Supergirl

Supergirl

Long time, no see. Who's Clockwork Orange?

Manchester

What's the line? "No man is a failure..."

"...who has friends."

Supergirl

I won't let you keep killing people.

Manchester

Oh, like your government intends to kill people? You really don't know, do you? Next week, your beloved government is launching a satellite that will shoot down any alien spacecraft trying to enter our atmosphere.

Supergirl

That's impossible.

I have it on good authority.

Manchester

Hat kidnaps secret agent types, learns what they're up to. That's why we formed this band of merry men. [Menagerie clears her throat] Sorry, merry people.

Supergirl

Why should I believe you?

Manchester

Talk to your mate, Baker. You know, the bloke who just pardoned the grand bloody wizard of the Children of Liberty. Ask him about Operation Claymore. And then ask yourself, what if it were your ship they were blowing up? You came here in a rocket. Child in a basket, you know? Real Moses stuff. Here's your chance to tell the bosses to let your people go. Or us plagues will do it for ya.

Supergirl

I've made up my mind. You can't convince me to change it.

J'onn

I know you better than that. Just don't let him bring you down.

Supergirl

Manchester got you, didn't he? At the prison.

J'onn

All I've wanted to do since my father died is honor him. Live by his example.

Supergirl

And you have.

J'onn

But I'm struggling, Kara. There's a duality in me that's at war. I want to be a man of peace, just like my father, but every fiber of my being is fighting against that. Being a Manhunter was part of my nature.

Supergirl

Are you considering picking back up the sword?

J'onn

I made a personal vow I wouldn't take that lightly.

Supergirl

Well, if you choose to join the fight to bring the Elite to justice, I'm sure your father would understand. Even M'yrnn joined the fight against Reign.

J'onn

Manchester is baiting me. We're connected somehow. I think he can feel the rage that lies within me. The rage born of the massacre of my family. One thing's for certain, Manchester was a test for me. But whether he's a test of my resolve or just a mirror showing me that I cannot walk my father's path, I just don't know.

Supergirl

You will find clarity, J'onn. I know you will.

Supergirl

What are you doing here?

We're here to show our support for the repeal of Alien Amnesty.

Supergirl

But that amnesty is what gives these aliens their rights.

Why should they get any rights? They're just here to hurt us.

Supergirl

They're not... look at them. They're not here to hurt anyone. They... most of them are fleeing war and violence, just like I did when I first came to Earth.

They're not like you. You're a superhero.

Supergirl

No, you're wrong. I am just like them.

Supergirl

I, uh... I come offering donuts and my help. Lex usually attacks within the first 48 hours of escaping. Now, I know we've had our differences, but I think we should team up to catch him.

While I appreciate a good cinnamon cruller, Supergirl, the President has ordered to redirect manpower to Washington, D.C.

Alex

For security. In case of any unrest after the repeal vote.

Supergirl

So, who's looking for Lex?

FBI, CIA, US Marshals. I believe SEAL Teams one through six. Everyone but us.

Supergirl

So this is the team.

Alex

Yes, Lena has joined us.

Supergirl

Uh, so why are we in the 'burbs?

Lena

Well, I realized that Eve is in love with Lex.

Supergirl

Crazy Lex-Girlfriend.

Alex

Which indicates her heart drives her actions.

Lena

And she spoke fondly of an elderly aunt, her only family in the city.

Alex

Mary Tessmacher. This is her house. Eve used to visit every Sunday.

Supergirl

I mean, people actually believe that I attacked the White House. They think I'm a terrorist. Years of helping people just wiped away with one lie.

Alex

No, not one lie, it's lots of lies. And Ben Lockwood has been telling whoppers for months. He's just creating division. And then most of the country is just terrified and now they're looking for solutions to make any sense of it.

Supergirl

Shouldn't the truth matter more?

Lena

No, not when Lex is involved. He's an expert at perception. Consummate gaslighter. He can make you doubt things that you know are true.

Lex

How are you alive? How did you do it?

Supergirl

How do you think I did it? I'm Supergirl.

Lex

Just like your cousin. No matter how many times I stamp you out, you miraculously resurface with your glossy cape and your perfect hair.

Supergirl

Let me let you in on a little secret, Lex. Truth and justice always prevail.

Lex

[laughs] You and your cousin are such saps.

Alex

We can't afford any more missteps. I'm having the Verdex Blaster brought up from the armory.

Supergirl

What?

J'onn

Alex. That Verdex Blaster was designed by Hank Henshaw to kill Green Martians, specifically me. It's a last resort.

Alex

Hank Henshaw was wrong about you, but Malefic is exactly the kind of Martian that this blaster was designed for.

Supergirl

Hang on, wait, wait, wait. Let's not rush into this. Because if we had had the Verdex Blaster, Malefic could've incepted one of us to use it on J'onn. Let's at least have Brainy try to fix it first.

Alex

Okay. Okay.

Brainy

Excellent. I shall adjust the Phantom Zone projector's wavelengths so Malefic cannot phase through it while simultaneously recalibrating the psychic inhibitor frequencies, all to distract myself from my broken heart.

Brainy

Thank god for selfie culture. Because of this generation's constant need to live stream everything, we've got a clear image of your attacker. And I knew I had seen that face before. Do you recall Antioch, 526 AD?

Lena

It was an earthquake. It was the eighth-largest natural disaster in modern history.

Brainy

Precisely. It's good to have you back, Lena. A myth was born that this man was the cause. Now, of course, scientists insisted that the natural disasters were natural, but in an ironic twist of history, they were wrong, and the fearmongers were right. Several reliable sources place this man at the scene of the crime throughout history. Pompeii, the Yellow River flood of 1887, the Bhola cyclone, even as far back as Noah's flood, this Earth-Bender has been spotted.

Alex

Excuse me, did you say "Earth-Bender"?

Brainy

How else would you describe him? He... he literally manipulates the earth.

Supergirl

But wait. Pompeii, Noah's flood? I mean, what is he, thousands of years old?

Brainy

Correct. Which means he's an alien with powers of longevity this civilization has never conceived of.

Alex

No wonder people thought he was a myth.

Lena

With all this destruction, his existence is still shrouded in mystery. He's managed to convince the world he doesn't exist.

Supergirl

Lena, you didn't kill Lex. I... that was me. I... I watched him... I saw him fall.

Lena

You saw him fall, but did you see him land? Did you see him die? I did, and let me tell you, it wasn't pretty.

Supergirl

That's impossible.

Lena

Anything's possible when you're a Luthor. Lex used his transmatter portal watch. I knew exactly where he'd go. The cabin we loved when we were children, so I was there waiting for him. I had the gun ready, loaded. I could feel the weight of it in my hands. Every fiber in my being rebelled, but I... I didn't want to do it, but I knew I had to because if Lex lived, the world wouldn't be safe, my friends wouldn't be safe. So I forced myself to pull the trigger. I shot my own brother in the chest. His final words to me were that I was a fool, that my best friend, that every friend I had was lying to me. With his dying breath, he told me that you were Supergirl.

Supergirl

Are you gonna try to kill me?

Lena

No. Supergirl, I'm not gonna kill you. I'm not a villain. You shouldn't have treated me like one.
