Mon-El quotes from Supergirl

Mon-El

[imprisoned in a cell] If you would just tell me why I'm here, I promise it'll be a good conversation starter. Okay, I give up, what's your favorite baseball team? It's the one with the hoop and the tall guys bouncing the balls, right? Oh, courtship ring! You know, I've just learned that there is a longstanding mating ritual here, where if you like it, you should've put a ring on it. Clearly you've been successful in this arena, so... But from the looks of you, she can't be that pretty... like what do you call ugly women on this planet? Is it cats? No, dogs.

Mon-El

You know, I've been talking to some of the regulars, and apparently Earth males are only supposed to express their feelings about sports and occasionally monster trucks. Who knew?

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?

Mon-El

I heard you took out Draaga.

Supergirl

Yeah. Thanks for the tip.

Mon-El

Yeah, I thought it would be fun to have his powers.

Supergirl

It can be. It will be. I'm going to teach you how.

Mon-El

I got the impression you didn't want to spend time with me.

Supergirl

Well, you're right, I didn't. But I asked the D.E.O. to release you into my custody.

Mon-El

Really? Why?

Supergirl

I wasn't sent to planet Earth to be a hero. I was sent to protect my cousin. To teach him and keep him safe. And I never got to fulfill that purpose. So, in a weird way, helping you... it gives me another chance to do that.

Kara

Eve, have you met our new intern?

Eve Teschmacher

Thank you so much!

Mon-El

Sure.

Eve

What's your name?

Mon-El

Mike. Number 45800...

Kara

[cutting him off] No, Mike, you don't need to give her your social security number.

Mon-El

So, I memorized that fake ID for nothing?

Kara

You mean your real ID?

Eve

Do you have protection?

Mon-El

Do you mean like a sword?

Kara

Ewww, God, get it out of my ears!

Mon-El

So we're stuck on the most dangerous planet in the galaxy, we don't have our powers, and you're optimistic how?

Kara

Because they (the kidnapped humans) need us to be.

Mon-El

See, this is what I've been telling you, Kara. You know, if you go looking for trouble, you will always find it. You do. You're, like,... you're, like, the winner at it.

Kara

'Cause that's what heroes do. They fight. They don't sit and hide in a bar because it's easier than getting involved.

Mon-El

I am not hiding. I'm being smart. It's a dangerous universe. And why do you have to be the one who saves everyone every time?

Kara

Because our worlds may have been destroyed, but we were spared for a reason.

Mon-El

Uh, luck.

Kara

I refuse to believe that. I believe you keep fighting. Whether you're stuck on another world. whether or not you have your powers, you never give in. It's the difference between you and me.

Mon-El

Hey, pal. How's it goin'?

Winn

Oooh, you know, believe it or not, I am having a girl issue.

Mon-El

[more to himself] Good... timing.

Winn

Hey. Hey. You're great with girls. They throw themselves at you left and right.

Mon-El

Yeah, not all of them.

Winn

C'mon, hit me. I need a... a relationship pearl. C'mon.

Mon-El

Yeah, uh... things were a lot easier on Daxam when I objectified women and didn't care about anyone.

Winn

Okay. I feel you. Caring is like... the kiss of death.

Jeremiah

So lucky you found me. I'm so lucky to be back with you two.

Mon-El

It's more than luck.

J'onn

What do you mean?

Mon-El

We got an alert that Cadmus was moving a weapon. We don't get alerts unless they're releasing a video or we catch them red-handed.

Kara

But we did catch them red-handed.

Mon-El

No, they were waving their red hands around in the air literally like they just didn't care.

Winn

What's so top-secret you can't talk to me at the D.E.O. about?

Mon-El

It's Jeremiah's return. What if Cadmus allowed us to rescue Jeremiah so he could sabotage us? Just when this doomsday bomb is about to be detonated. I mean, think about it.

Winn

Okay, you know what? I knew I shouldn't have given you my Netflix password. Because watching that much 24 at once is not healthy.

Winn

Oh yeah, you're a terrible partner.

Mon-El

Terrible.

Winn

Yeah.

Mon-El

I'd like to not be terrible, for the record.

Winn

Look, just don't try so hard, right? Kara's a badass. She doesn't need a protector or someone to show her off, right? The girl does that all by herself.

Mon-El

So what's left for me?

Winn

Maybe ask her. Just listen to her. She's the one you're dating.

Hank

We any closer to finding out where Cadmus is taking them (the kidnapped aliens)?

Mon-El

Or what they want? Because that is the trillion-dollar-question.

Winn

It's "million-dollar-question", buddy.

Mon-El

Really? That low?

Kara

I don't want another job. Reporting is my calling, I help people.

Mon-El

Yeah, you know who else does?

Kara

Who?

Mon-El

Supergirl.

Kara

It's just that... when I write, I don't need a yellow sun, it's just me. Supergirl is what I can do, Kara is who I am.

Mon-El

Hey, hey, I've been doing some very serious research on human relationships, and by now in the movie, the girl usually forgives the guy for whatever dumb thing he's done.

Kara

I had a nice chat with your mother.

Mon-El

Yeah, okay. What'd she want?

Kara

You. She wants to talk to you.

Mon-El

I'm not going back there.

Kara

Well, I tried.

Mon-El

What, that's it?

Kara

What else am I supposed to say? Nothing's changed for me.

Mon-El

Just tell me what to do, okay? Tell me what it is and I will fix it.

Kara

You can't! Okay? You can't take back the fact that you lied to me, you can't unring that bell.

Mon-El

Well, I can try.

Kara

Just forget about you and me for one second. Do you even understand the second chance you've been given? You thought you were the last Daxamite and you're not. Your people are alive. Your parents are alive. They need you. They love you. Don't just throw that chance away, because many of us don't get one. Now, you're a prince, so start acting like it.

Kara

You just want things to be easy, Mon-El, but being a hero and falling in love, those are not easy things. They're hard, and they're messy, and they hurt sometimes.

Mon-El

I would never hurt you on purpose, Kara.

Kara

And you won't again.

Mon-El

Kara, don't.

Kara

I can't, I can't do this. No, it's over.
