Mercy Graves quotes from Supergirl

Mercy Graves

Do you remember when you were afraid to show Lex your little inventions? That you would hide them from him until they were absolutely perfect. Do you remember what he would do?

Lena

Yeah. He'd say they were cute and I should make them in pink.

Mercy

This is exactly what he was afraid of. That you would outshine him. I know that you wanna resist, but you are just like me. You don't just wanna be the best, you are the best.

Lena

Oh, I know I'm the best. You're the one not living up to your full potential. You've chosen a side. I'd never do that.

Mercy

All you care about is lining your pockets.

Kara

Yeah, also she's not a murderer, so...

Mercy

Maybe that's just because she hasn't tried it yet.

Mercy

People love you, Ben. You have a rare gift of communication, like Franklin Roosevelt or Mussolini. The people I work with, they don't have such gifts. But I think if we could all work together, we could make this country a much better place.

Lockwood

How?

Mercy

We're gonna expose the president as a liar, a fraud, and an alien.

Lockwood

Read a little 4chan, do ya?

Mercy

I can understand why you wouldn't believe me. But can you imagine if we proved it was true? How that would change the world?

Lockwood

Well, that's a nice dream, but, um, I don't even know who you are.

Mercy

Mercy Graves. And that's my brother, Otis.

Otis Graves

[rolling down the limo's driver partition] What's up?

Mercy

[offering Ben a folder] And most importantly, this is Fiona. Part-time bartender, full-time alien rights activist. Don't be fooled by the lipstick. Beneath the disguise, she's a monster. One who is organizing other monsters to defend themselves against us. But that's okay. Because some of these creatures have skills we can use. So what do you say? Besties?

[freeing two aliens from custody] Okay. Make it look convincing.

Mercy

It's gonna look real convincing. [shoots Taylor]

I thought we didn't kill humans.

Otis

He wasn't human. He was loose ends.

Lockwood

I seem to recall you telling me that Supergirl was dead.

Otis

We never said it was official.

Mercy

We'll make her dead. The plan still stands.

Lockwood

Well, your plan is small.

Mercy

Excuse me?

Lockwood

You want to show people that aliens are monsters. That's good, but you don't do that by attacking their protectors, the police, the DEO. Yeah, that will make them afraid. That'll make them feel fear, up here, in their mind. What you need to do is make them feel it in their bones.

Mercy

And how do you plan on doing that, exactly?

Lockwood

You show them that they need to be afraid for their children.
