TV show quotes
What smells so... [gasps] Is that hash browns?
No no no no no no no. I'm trying to make you breakfast in bed. I'm going for full romance here, and you have ruined it.
Honey, listen, very sweet, but there's no way you're getting in the way of me and... BACON! And biscuits. And oh, is that a poached egg?
Yeah.
How'd you learn how to poach?
Oh, I found the instructions. [holds up a copy of "The Joy of Cooking"] Turns out books have a lot more useful information than YouTube.
Hey!
Who knew?
Hey, I've been thinking about a solution to our problem.
Yeah, me too.
Yeah?
There's only one thing we can do:
[together with Kara] Run for our lives.
[together with Mon-El] Talk to your mother. Wait, what?
What? There's this... So there's this planet that a Durlan emissary took me to when I was a kid. It's got water, and a yellow sun. It's got everything we need to survive. My parents wouldn't find us there. We'd be together, we'd be safe. I think of this 'cause I'm reading this play right now, um... "Ro-mayo and Juliet".
Yep, I've heard of it.
Right. And... and there's this moment at the end where I am right now where they're about to run away together and live happily ever after, and I can't help but think that that could be us, you know.
Yeah, but Juliet and Romeo both die at the end.
I... did not see that coming.
And no, we are not going to your secret planet. I'm Supergirl. I don't run from anything.
Yeah, I know. That's one of the more annoying things about you.
I've thought a lot about this. You have a pattern of keeping things to yourself. You hid the truth about Emily, you made her seem like the bad guy. And then before that, you didn't tell me what really happened when you came out to your parents, how badly they reacted. You don't like to talk about you.
I know.
So I think that when your parents didn't accept you, you stopped trusting people that are closest to you. I totally get that. But Maggie... you don't have to be guarded with me. Okay? I'm not here to judge you for things that happened in the past. I am here to help you heal.
You don't think I'm a bad person?
No. Actually, I always thought that you were perfect [embraces Maggie], but it's really nice to see that you have problems, too.
Thank you.
I want you to know that Kara Zor-El will be safe. And in time, you will see that coming home was the right thing to do.
I already know it was right. If I didn't come back, Mother would have killed the woman I love.
You know your life will always be Rhea's responsibility, but son, you belong with your people. It means so much to them to have you back.
If this is about the people, then some things have to change. One day, I will become king. And I want to be a different kind of king. And, why not start now? Why not rebuild our kingdom better than it was, and make justice available for everyone. Get rid of rank and make it so that everyone's voice is heard equally.
[laughing slightly] This is absurd.
Why? Why is that so absurd? We have a chance to start again, Father. So why should we go and just recreate the same broken system as before?
Because it's what the people need. You think we survived the destruction of our world by giving everyone a say? Our royal house stood for 8000 years because the people need our order. And our leadership.
Our house would've fallen. So rebuild with me, Father, please.
[Winn appears on the Daxamite ship through a portal]
Winn?
Ok, thank God I am not in space.
You are in space.
Oh, yeah, I know. I mean, like, floating around in space dying. Uh, I'm here to rescue you. Hi.
Aren't you a little short for a stormtrooper?
You finally saw Star Wars!
Whoo! It is another beautiful day in National City, and the Girl of Steel is ready to take on the world. I am here to kick some ass, take some names, and do it all with an endearing smile on my face. So... bring it on. What have you got for me?
There's literally nothing for you to do.
Nothing?
I challenge you to find an eight-year-old stealing candy.
It's like somebody slipped "Law-abiding serum" into the reservoir.
Did somebody do that? Is that illegal? I could stop 'em.
I heard Supergirl saved you.
Yeah, she was there.
Did you say "Thank you"?
Once, to a divorce lawyer. It was uncomfortable for everyone involved.
[Kara puts a file on Snapper's desk.]
What's this? More alternative "facts"?
It's all my research on Spherical. I thought I'd help your story.
[considers] What's in it for you, Ponytail?
I know we've had our differences... but I've learned a lot from you. And the biggest thing I've learned is that, it's not the reporter that matters, it's the truth that matters. And CATCO will get the truth to more people. Also, I wanted to get the truth out so badly that I disobeyed you. I broke the rules. You were right. I was lucky when I posted my first blog on Cadmus without your permission. I let you down. And I apologize.
.... Finally.
You know it's true what they say. Behind every great man is a strong woman.
Oh, I wouldn't know. I've never stood behind a man.
You just clean up after your brother.
....
[kicks Lena] Did I mention that I'm a Black belt?
[punches Beth in the face] Did I mention I was a Luthor?
How you holding up?
When Lex was arrested, my mother was there. My mother saw her son dragged, bleeding and raving, from her house, and when I got there, Lillian was tidying his room like he'd been away on a business trip. That's how I feel: cold and calm. Until I think about Beth dying in jail, and then I feel warm for a minute.
You're in shock, Lena.
I know. Loss does strange things to my family, and I've lost a lot of people.
Well, you're not gonna lose me.
I think when I feel things again, I'm... I'm gonna be very, very afraid. About the person I might be.
[putting an arm around Lena] You don't have to be afraid. I'm right here. And I'm not going anywhere.
Heh. Promise?
I will always be your friend. And I will always protect you. I promise.
Yeah, I'll get out of here.
Oh, so now that you share a byline with me, you're too good to work late?
But I thought...
I just said that you did a good job, Danvers. You didn't give up, even when that whistle blower got killed. You weren't afraid to pursue the truth, no matter what the risk. And we need more reporters like that. More reporters like you, that care about the truth.
So I have my job back?
Unless you're thinking of starting a food truck . [takes a bite of Kara's Danish] Don't start a food truck.
You're not upset that I caught the bad guys and got everyone out safely, are you?
I would have gotten them to free the hostages.
Maybe. But they're in jail now where they can't hurt anyone, and that's all that matters.
As long as they don't use the "Supergirl defense".
The what?
It's a thing some criminals use to get their charges dropped. It's a perfect storm for a defense attorney. Excessive force. Evidence contaminated by debris. Vigilante justice.
"Vigilante justice"? I stand for help, I help, and compassion. I did what I had to do to get those people out of there.
I think what Maggie's trying to say is that what you do is amazing when we're up against--
A giant purple monster or a half-cyborg murderer, sure. But most of the time, police work requires a more... delicate touch.
"Delicate".
Yeah. You broke a guy's arm and gave another a concussion. And that was after you knocked in the roof of a National City landmark. And now, it just has a big Supergirl-sized hole in it.
It's simple. She's (Alex) told you she's okay. And now we trade my father for Alex.
Your father is a murderer.
Manslaughter-er.
[frustrated] Tell me where she is.
Tick tock. Tick tock.
[Kara's eyes glow, but she does not use her heat vision. Rick walks right up to her and looks into her eyes.]
Oh, wow. That's even cooler up close. You hurt me, you'll never find her. And she'll die. Slowly. [Kara powers down.]
Do you know what kind of words your son's been using? Words like "rescue" and "love". Says he wants to rescue you like you rescued him. But if he kills Alex Danvers, he'll never be rescued. He'll have to live with that for the rest of his life, and that'll be his Hell. Now you've done a lot of bad things in your life, but you've done one thing you can be proud of. You were a father. A good one. You were there for your son during the toughest time of his life, and that's what you need to do again now. If he kills her... you will have failed at the one good thing you've done with your life. Be a father now.
I knew I just had to buy a couple of seconds, and then you were coming. [pause] You didn't let me finish before, but I... just really have to say it now. [sits up in bed]
Careful.
It's okay, it's okay. Those firsts that you talked about? [Maggie nods] I want to have them all with you. I never want to stop having firsts with you. I love you, Maggie Sawyer.
I love you, Alex Danvers.
Yeah?
Yeah.
[Alex and Maggie kiss]
[disappointed] Oh. You survived.
Oh, you do NOT get to talk to her!
What are you gonna do to him?
My job. Protect the identity of Supergirl and the D.E.O.
You gonna mindwipe him?
You object?
No. Just... before you do that–
[Alex turns and punches Rick hard in the nose, to everyone else's pleasure.]
Just make sure he remembers that.
Will do.
[Winn high-fives Alex as Mon-El chuckles]
