Cat Grant quotes from Supergirl

Cat Grant

The only reason I bought this building was because it had a private elevator. That way I don't have to get soaked in cheap cologne every morning getting to my office. Find out who used it, have them reprimanded or bathed, I don't care which.

Cat

Leslie, you and I got through you not supporting Hilary in 2008, we can get through this.

Cat

Now, look, I'm not immune to the allure of James Olsen wearing a shirt that is unbuttoned one too many. But a woman with brains who gives up everything for love inevitably finds herself staring into an existential abyss that men, babies and cardio bars simply cannot fill.

Cat

Citizens of national city this Cat Grant live from CatCo plaza. As you all know I have been Supergirl's most outspoken champion, so you can imagine how difficult it is for me to tell you, that I and CatCo can no longer stand behind Supergirl. I made you trust her. I gave you my word that she was safe: a friend. I was wrong. Supergirl has changed. She is unstable and extremely dangerous. She threw me off of a building last night and threatened my life. Who knows what else she is capable of? It's not easy being let down by our idols. Having someone who embodies our heroic ideals helps us believe that we can be heroes, too. Sometimes, heroes fall. So, please, for your own safety, stay away from Supergirl.

Cat

God knows, I hate a generic sports metaphor, but that interview was a touchdown. A home run. Whatever you call it when you do something good in hockey.

Cat

[surveying Kara, Barry, James and Winn, who are standing before her] All four of you standing there doing nothing. You look like the attractive yet non-threatening, racially diverse cast of a CW show.

Cat

Kira, call Harrison Ford and tell him that I'm flattered, but once and for all, I do not date older men. Especially when they're married.

Cat

Oh, watching Clark Kent walk away is like trencendental meditation. All of your worries, all of your concerns in life, they just [sighs] fall away.

Kara

[on discovering that Cat dubbed her "Supergirl"] Supergirl? We can't name her that!

Cat

We didn't.

Kara

Right, I'm sorry. It's just, uh... A female superhero. Shouldn't she be called Super... woman?

Cat

I'm sorry, darling, I just can't hear you over the loud color of your cheap pants.

Kara

If we call her Supergirl, something less than what she is, doesn't that make us guilty of, of being anti-feminist? Didn't you say she's the hero?

Cat

I'm the hero. I stuck a label on the side of the girl. I branded her. She will forever be linked to CatCo, to the Tribune, to m e. And what do you think is so bad about "girl?" Huh? I'm a girl. And your boss, and powerful, and rich, and hot and smart. So if you perceive Supergirl as anything less than excellent, isn't the real problem you?

Cat

It's you. Oh, no. I'm sorry. I meant to say who are you?

Supergirl

According to you, I'm Supergirl.

Cat

Trademark pending.

I met Supergirl. She was amazing. And she was so much prettier in person.

Cat

Oh. Well... did you notice any of her other attributes?

Um, she's super strong...

Cat

And smart and brave and kind and she saved you all. Tell me, what do you think makes her a hero?

I'd say her legs. Definitely her legs. Her heart, Mom.

Cat

But the real key Kiera, is that you need to figure out what's really bothering you. For example, I am so furious with my mother, so I took it out on you. And you are so mad at me, but... And this is the important bit, you weren't really mad at me.

Kara

Actually, I kind of was.

Cat

No. You were really mad, at something else. You need to find, find that anger behind the anger. And you need to figure out what is really making you mad.

Kara

Would you like me to call your mother a car?

Cat

She can take her broom.

Cat

You, Ker-rah? You never get sick. That's the best part about you.

Kara

That's the best part?

Cat

If I get sick, I will under perform. If I under perform, our stock prices will fall, thousands of people will lose their job, the S&P will take a hit and you will personally have triggered the next recession. Do you want to be the next Lehman Brothers?

Kara

I guess I'll go home.

Cat

Don't exhale on the way out.

Kara

Are you sure you want to do this?

Cat

Well, like taxes, aging, and participating in Martha Stewart's annual Secret Santa, this is just something I have to do.
