Morgan Edge quotes from Supergirl

Morgan Edge

Lena? Twice in my office in as many days. People are gonna start talking.

Lena

Morgan, you have all the charisma of a Michael Douglas movie from the '90s.

Edge

You didn't come all this way just to flatter me, did you?

Lena

So this is what your revenge looks like.

Edge

Have you ever heard of the Cobra effect, Lena? Colonial India, the British government. They realized there were snakes all over Delhi, and they wanted them gone. So they offered a bounty for dead snakes. And then they realized that people were breeding snakes for income. They thought everything was going really well, they realized they got slithering snakes all over Delhi. The whole thing backfired. Turns out they made the problem worse. You understand?

Lena

You're a toxic predator.

Edge

Unintended consequences. You wanted to be a hero so bad, you didn't care who you hurt. And now people are gonna die.

Edge

You know, I was thinking. He must've really hated her. You ever wonder what that feels like? That kind of... hate? Because I don't think you're capable of it.

Supergirl

[moves in closer to Edge] You have no idea what I am capable of.

Edge

This about me, now? Because when you got mad at me, you dumped me on a cargo ship in the middle of the sea. [shrugs] But a hassle. Cost me a few hours. Thirty bucks in dry cleaning. I don't know what kinda hippy-dippy justice you practice on your planet, sweetheart, but this is the real world. It's dog-eat-dog out here. Now, if I had an enemy, I'd crush her. Without mercy. Let's say , for instance, I was your enemy. Hmm? The thing for you to do right now would be to kill me. [Supergirl does nothing as Edge stares her down] But you capes. You don't have what it takes. Do you? [Supergirl stares down Edge, but still does nothing] Yeah. I didn't think so. You can leave the way you came in. I think the cleaning crew enjoyed the show.

Edge

Ah, Lena, Lena! C'mon, it's Christmas! Where's your Christmas spirit? It's my favorite time of the year. The only fires I'm lighting are the ones I'm gonna roast chestnuts over. And if you think I had anything to do with going after you, which you sure as hell can't prove, my line of attack would be much, much more effective. [indicating James] Is that why you brought your bodyguard?

James

I'm here just to make sure that you remain... civil.

Edge

[gets right in James' face] Jimmy, I get the feeling your dislike for me is... more than just purely professional.

James

You get feelings?

Lena

You know, Edge, you act like a bully, but underneath it all, you are scared to death of a powerful woman you can't control. You're so terrified you would sacrifice kids, poison our water, do just about anything to kill me and get rid of the problem.

Edge

Then you got it wrong, Lena. I like powerful women, Nay, I love powerful women. But you're not a powerful woman. You're wasting away in that ivory tower. Posing as Cat Grant. Hoping that the gleam of liberal media gonna somehow magically rub off on you. I don't have to kill you, Lena. You're already dead. [turns and walks to his car] Enjoy the eggs, kids. They're mediocre, you'll fit right in.

Lena

Burn in Hell, Edge.

Edge

[grins] I hear the company's fantastic.
