Marsdin quotes from Supergirl

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?

I'm sorry, Supergirl, but I can't, I won't cancel the summit.

Supergirl

The Graves siblings are dangerous operatives. I'm afraid of what they could do to you and your alien guests.

So am I, but there's always someone to be afraid of. Some force, some threat, that is beyond our control. And yet, we carry on. A leader who caves to fear is no leader at all.

Supergirl

Are you sure resigning is necessary? There must be another way.

My presidency is in violation of Article II of the Constitution. If I stay and fight impeachment, it will only cause more chaos and turmoil.

Supergirl

You've done so much good. People need to remember that. Every step of your presidency promoted compassion, and equal rights for all.

To be honest, there is a part of me that is relieved. Hiding who I am, it's taken its toll.

Supergirl

I can understand that. Mercy Graves exposed you because she wanted to fan the flames of fear and hatred. And I will stop her. I promise you that. And once she's exposed, people will realize they never had to fear you.

Fear can create monsters where none existed before. Remind the world that there is still goodness here. Be that beacon of hope that we still need.

Supergirl

I won't let you down, Madam President.
