Cat Grant quotes from Supergirl

Kara

Ms. Grant, they were out of lattes, so here's a coffee.

Cat

Hmm. And here you are, delivering it to me as a normal, boring person.

Kara

Well, that's what I am. I'm very boring and really normal. So, um, I'll just get out of your hair.

Cat

Why? Have a building to leap in a single bound?

Cat

Toyman, Jr., you're the computer expert. Fix this.

Winn

I definitely liked it better when she did not know who I was.

Siobhan

Ms. Grant, this came for you via private courier, I've been keeping it safe from prying eyes.

Cat

Why didn't you open it? It could be anthrax?

Cat

Tell Mr. Allen to have a good time zipping around in his red outfit.

Kara

Wait, you knew he was the Flash?

Cat

Oh, please. Barry shows up, the Flash shows up, his insistence on that silly name, and he was so unfailingly charming and nice that he had to be either a superhero or a Mormon. Kira, I can spot the extraordinary pretending to be a nobody in my midst just like that! [snaps her fingers right in front of Kara's face.]

Cat

Ah, you do have a cell phone? Can I get that number, please?

Supergirl

It's Superman.

Cat

Oh, can I get his number as well?

Supergirl

This doesn't look like victory to me. And all you doing is betraying her. I was with Astra in her final moments. We forgave each other, we paid respect to our blood bonds. She didn't want this.

Non

Of course she did. It's what everyone wants, is it not? Peace on Earth. Goodwill towards men.

Cat

It's a lot less like Christmas out there and more like Dawn of the Dead.

Maxwell

So, what's your plan?

Supergirl

Hope.

Maxwell

You know what? I'm gonna go with the plan that has the bomb to kill the bad guys.

Supergirl

No bomb. No one dies.

Maxwell

You think I wanna do this? It's the only way to win.

Supergirl

What? What are we winning? Causing more chaos? More destruction? More lives lost? You hated me for months, because you thought I'd use my power indiscriminately, kill people with no regard for their lives. That is exactly the choice you're making with this bomb.That is exactly the choice you're making with this bomb.

Cat

Please tell me you've had enough analysis to know that she's right.

Supergirl

You were afraid of me. Now you're afraid of Non. I understand that fear. But we cannot let it drive our actions. Make another choice that honors your parents. And mine.

Cat

This is a step up for you, Kira. This is your "end-of-Working Girl-moment." And if you take advantage of it, I really believe that you can change the world. [turns and starts to leave]

Kara

Miss Grant? [Cat turns around.] The end of Working Girl always makes me cry.

Cat

Oh. Me, too. [makes a deep dramatic sigh] If you work hard, there might be a window in your future... Kara.

Kara

Okay. Uh... I made my decision.

Cat

[consults her smart phone] Forty-three minutes before the deadline. This better be good.

Kara

[deep breath] I want to be a reporter. I can't believe I didn't see it before. Being a reporter's about connecting with people, it's about finding hidden truths and sharing it with the world. It's about service. And telling the stories that need to be told in order to make the world a better and more comprehensible place. And it's going to make me the best version of myself as it will definitely push me out of my comfort zone. This is it for me, this is my calling.

Stand down!

Rhea

"Stand down"? I think you are confusing this situation with one in which you have any sort of negotiating leverage.

This is not a negotiation! This is a demand!

Rhea

[hard] You speak like that to me again, and you will feel the consequences.

Cat Grant

[entering Olivia's office] Oh my God! Enough. All right. Ladies, ladies. If I wanted to see this adolescent macho posturing, I would have stayed in D.C.

Kara

Miss Grant?!

Cat

[to Olivia] Is this really who you want to be? [to both] Testosterone-driven windbags boasting about your big guns? Surely, we don't need to measure anything. We're wo-men. We're tough, we're wise, and we're way above this pettiness, so let's just.. roll up our sleeves and talk peace.

Rhea

I'm sorry. Who are you?

Cat

I'm. Cat. Grant. Known on Earth as "Queen of All Media".

Rhea

[amused] Oh. Well, Cat Grant, I'm Rhea. And Earth now has a new queen.

Cat

Oh. Oh, well, let me give you just a little bit of friendly advice, Rhea. That tiara that you have on the top of your head. It's overkill. Real royals, they don't need to try that hard. The thing is, that I have brokered peace between Kanye and Taylor Swift, so I think mediating peace between our two worlds should be a piece of cake. And... "The Future is Female", we've all read the T-shirts. So we are three strong, formidable women, and we can do anything we want. So let's just talk it out and come up with a harmonious solution, shall we?

Cat

Do you want to know the real reason why I left National City? I wasn't... happy. So I asked Siri "Where is the happiest place on Earth, Siri?", and she answered "Bhutan", so I booked my passage to the Himalayas and moved into a yurt. Now, do you have any idea what is in a yurt? Nothing. Nothing. Not even central air conditioning. But these people, they are happy. A child learns how to walk, they sing. A group of people come down from a hike, from the mountains, and they dance. A couple, they go on their first date and they throw a damn festival. And all of a sudden, the secret to happiness just dawned on me. It's human connection. And I could conquer the world at CatCo or I could twiddle my thumbs in the yurt, and the loneliness would feel exactly the same, because I was missing... the point. It's not about what you do. It's about who you love. And there are two people that you love trapped in an evil spaceship. Wanting to rescue them is not selfish. It's everything.

Kara

Yeah. Yeah. [pause] I've really missed your advice, Miss Grant.

Cat

And I've really missed giving it. Now shoo. Up, up and away, no time to lose.

Cat

Good evening, National City. It's Cat Grant. Yes, I've been away for a while, but I'm back. Now I can imagine that you are feeling afraid and feeling like your world is spinning out of control, but believe me: you have a power, and right now you have a job to do. Resist! Resist these invaders with everything you've got! They come with empty promises and closed fists. They promise to make our world great again. And yet they know nothing about the people that make this world great. They think they can con us, and if that doesn't work, what? They're gonna beat us into submission? They have no idea who they're up against. Aliens and humans, we need to band together, and we need to stand together and fight back. Everyone needs to be a superhero, everyone needs to get up and say "not in my house". Let's prove to these thugs that we are strong, and we're united, and we are not going to be conquered. And "tiara woman", if you and your little minions happen to be listening, you have come to the wrong town. Yeah, I'm Cat Grant, not going anywhere.

Winn

Classic!

Rhea

[to a guard] Send a squadron to the planet's surface and kill that woman!

Cat

See, the thing that makes women strong is that we have the guts to be vulnerable. We have the ability to feel the depths of our emotion, and we know that we will walk though it to the other side. And, by the way, you have accomplished great things this year. Your articles. Slaver's Moon. Alien Registry. Alien Fight Club. It's all very powerful. And your prose. Your prose is not bad. I mean, it's not great, but it's not bad.

Kara

You read them?

Cat

I did. I did "2017". They have Wi-Fi in the Himalayan mountains. But you, my dear, are on a Hero's journey. Like Joseph Campbell would say. And yes, you have hit a bit of an obstacle, but you will soar right over it, just like I would. Except, of course, you won't be wearing Louboutin's.

Kara

Um...actually...um there's something I forgot I had to do. I have to go.

Cat

By all means.

Kara

Thank you.

Cat

Go get 'em, Supergirl.
