Eve Teschmacher quotes from Supergirl

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!

Eve

Wow. Nice prison you got here.

Lex

It's for conjugal visits. But still, after this, it's back to concrete and iron.

Eve

Sounds lonely.

Lex

Stryker's is a petri dish. Bottle city. I've even managed to teach some of the inmates chess. I like mentoring.

Eve

It's a waste. You're a once-in-a-generation mind, and the only man standing between us and total annihilation.

Otis

So what's the play?

Lex

Paper tigers.

Otis

[confused] Uh...

Lex

Chinese idiom. Paper tigers threaten, but are destroyed easily. Kaznia wants to move on the U.S. They're crazier than Russia. They wanna bring back the glory days of the Soviet Union.

Eve

So you wanna help them?

Lex

I don't care about their politics. Regimes change. Kings die. But if Kaznia attacks America, and I foil the attack, America will hail me as a hero. To do that, I'm gonna need patsies in both the East and the West. So, Otis, fetch your sister and find me a real American. Someone charismatic, a radical.

Otis

I think I know just the guy, Mr. Luthor. Name's Ben Lockwood, seems smart.

Lex

I'm glad someone does.

Otis

Wait. Where you going?

Lex

Back to Stryker's. Prison's the best alibi the world has yet devised, and I'm about to need a lot of alibis.
