TV show quotes
I mean, I thought it was bad when she skipped Pizza Night, but skipping free apps? I mean, come on, these are, like, the beginning of the dark days.
Hey, come on, grief doesn't have a deadline.
Hey, look, I know, but she goes from being Little Miss Sunshine to... well, Alex, basically.
What? I'm not like that.
Come on, Alex, your unrelenting seriousness is one of your best qualities.
[Hank walks off, followed by Winn.]
[calling after them] I'm not like that. I'm NOT!!
Lena? Twice in my office in as many days. People are gonna start talking.
Morgan, you have all the charisma of a Michael Douglas movie from the '90s.
You didn't come all this way just to flatter me, did you?
Who are you right now? Kara Danvers doesn't quit.
She quits the things that aren't important.
CATCO is important. You help people there.
Not like Supergirl does.
Kara Danvers --
Kara Danvers SUCKS right now! Supergirl is great! Supergirl saved the world. So, if I could choose to be her, why would I ever choose to be the sad girl whose boyfriend is gone? I don't like that girl, Alex.
Look, I know it hurts.
No, no, you don't know anything. You've never had to make a decision like this.
Okay, so tell me what it feels like. Please. Just let me help, let me help you get over him.
"Get over him"?! He didn't dump me. I sent him away, and for all I know he's...
What?
Doesn't matter.
You're not letting yourself feel anything. You're just bottling it up inside and you're making bad decisions. And I'm worried...
If it was Maggie, what would you be doing? If the woman you are about to marry was gone forever, what would you be doing?
I...
You'd be the bar every night. You'd be a wreck at work. You'd be broken.
I would. I would be, and it's okay if you are.
I'm not. That's what humans do, and I'm better than that. Clark said it himself. The decision I made, he couldn't've made that sacrifice. But me? I couldn't've lived with myself if I hadn't. I will always make the decision I made. I am not a human. I tried to be, but I'm not. Kara Danvers was a mistake. So, if you have an update about work I'd love to hear it. Otherwise...
Bloodsport has the capability to cloak a nuke. We're thinking that he's gonna hit the statue unveiling at the waterfront. J'onn wants everyone there.
I'll be there.
Yeah. [starts to leave but turns around at the door] Kara Danvers is my favorite person! She saved me more times than Supergirl ever could, so just think about that while you're trying to get rid of her!
It's quiet up here. You know, I rarely flew on Mars. It was for battle, not pleasure. When I first came to Earth, I spent hours up in the sky. It was the only place I could feel.. empty.
Well, that's not what I'm doing up here.
Forgive me for saying, but you seem to be courting emptiness of late, and that's not you.
I tried to be Kara Danvers for fifteen years, but I'm not supposed to be her. I'm not supposed to be human.
But you have a human heart now. It aches, it scars, but it keeps on beating. If you try and cut it out, you will lose something essential.
I can't help people if I'm broken.
You are not broken! You're the strongest person I know! You saved me, remember? You told me that my loss made me stronger. That was Kara Danvers, not Supergirl.
Danvers, you on comms? Got something that needs your attention.
I'm here, East side. You?
West, all clear. About last night...
Uh, this is neither the time or the place to talk about what I think you want to talk about.
Do you not want to marry me?
Of course I do! Look, I want to be your wife! I want to have a dog, I want to have a house, all of it. I just, I just don't want a big wedding.
Why? [pause] Talk to me. Please, you have to tell me what's going on.
Because my dad won't be there. He can't come, he can't walk me down the aisle.
You could've told me that.
I didn't want to make a big deal out of it. I... you're already dealing with family issues that I can't imagine. So, I just hoped that I... let it go.
Look, I've had more practice at choosing my family because I had to. And I think you have to take a deep breath and find your way out of this. There's so many people that love you. Just think about how they can make our day good, and tell me how I can help.
Okay, I can do that.
Okay. I love you.
You too. Forever.
You two are my favorite couple.
Winn! Get off the comms!
[Hank is trying to settle a dispute between Alex and Maggie: Band or D.J. at their wedding.]
The human mind reacts to music very much like other stimuli. Tastes, smells. A song doesn't sound exactly the way you're used to hearing it, you enjoy it less. And are, therefore, less likely to get jiggy on the dance floor. I say D.J.
Oh, yes!
Come on.
Did he just say "jiggy"?
I thought you'd be too busy to act as my chaperone.
I don't want to chaperone you. I don't consider myself a chaperone, I consider myself the person who's been running this company for a year.
All right, Mr. Olsen. I have a meeting with the advertising department in 20 minutes. I'll see you there.
See you in 19.
Twenty will be fine.
Got you cornered.
Do you?
What did you do to them up there?
Only wanted to play. But they didn't want to play with me.
Well, you're not getting away with it.
Oh. You think you're the cat, and I'm the bird. You got it backwards. You could join me. Maybe then you'd be happy. See, money equals happiness. More money, more happiness.
Your priorities are seriously outta whack.
I know. Right. [laughs]
[Kara has taken Winn aside.]
Ooo, this is very covert ops. What's up?
I... I know how she's doing it. I felt it this time. She's targeting people's fear.
How - how do you know that?
I saw my mother. I saw... Krypton explode. I relived my last moments there. And then being stuck floating through space for so long. Knowing I could never have my life back. [getting nervous] Psi put me back in that pod. Completely trapped and alone. It was... it was so quiet. [gets more nervous]] Silence was the worst part.... I felt completely cut off from everything and everyone I've ever known.... [composes herself] We... we have to stop her, Winn.
You're not going anywhere.
Hm. What did you see, I wonder? What brought the Girl of Steel to her knees?
[Psi sends a psychic blast at Kara, who is barely affected.]
A lie. [advances on Psi]
Fear is not a lie. [sends another blast to no effect and advances on Kara] Fear cripples. Annihilates spirits. It is the only weapon that matters. [sends another ineffective blast] Fear made me stronger than you.
[Psi and Kara are now face-to-face. Psi sends yet another psychic blast, but Kara remains standing.]
No one is safe from it. [confused] Why aren't you scared anymore?
Mind over matter.
[Kara head-butts Psi unconscious.]
I don't know why throwing a lesbian wedding shower would curb Mom's cheesy antics.
Nope. Gay, straight, whatever, Eliza will not be stopped until she digs up every bridal shower game since the beginning of time. [Alex picks up a napkin from a stack and shows Kara. On it is printed "Alex & Maggie's Shower".] You know what, you're gonna love "Bridal Bingo".
Kill me now. Please.
I told a girl at school that I liked her, and my parents found out. I came home that day... it was winter... and my dad was there with a suitcase. And he told me to get into the car... and, um... we drove in silence. And I just stared out the window, looking at the icicles on the trees. And I was terrified to say anything, but... finally, I said, um... I said "Papí, what did I do?" And then he just looked at me with such contempt and said, um... "You shamed me." And then he pulled up to my aunt's house and left me with my suitcase. That was the last thing that my father said to me.
The only thing shameful about that story is how your father treated you, Maggie.
[whispering] Yeah. [hugs Maggie]
[Maggie's father, Oscar, walked out of the bridal shower when Maggie and Alex kiss]
You're just gonna walk out? After all this time, that's it?
I can't do this.
Can't do what? Tell me, please. What exactly have I done that is so offensive to you?
You spit in my face.
I spit in your face? For loving somebody? I don't understand. I don't get it.
I came to this country at nine years old. At eleven, I was working in a factory.
Yes, I know.
Do you?
Yeah.
Do you know I was the only Mexicano working alongside a bunch of white boys? Do you know that they would wait for me at night by the road and laugh and call me "wetback" and kick me until my ribs were broken?
What does this have to do–
With you being a lesbian? I worked to win their respect. Those same boys, when they grew up, elected me their sheriff. I endured for my children. So that you would never have to face that kind of hatred! So that you would belong!
I'm accepted for who I am. The world is different now.
Huh! They're building a wall to keep us out! Because in their minds, we're nothing but rapists and murderers! The only thing they hate more than a Mexicano, is a homosexual. The world is not different, my dear. Look, you can live any way you please. But don't ask me to witness it.
[Kara drives up to the White Martians' ceremony in J'onn's '50's convertible.]
Hi. Hi. I'm, uh... I'm sorry to bother you during, um... whatever it is you're doing, but I think I took a wrong turn at Albuquerque. Can any of you give me directions back to Earth? [gets out of the car nonchalantly while the White Martians roar] You know, I thought I took that tunnel, but my GPS is all screwed up down here, and it keeps trying to get me to make the suicidal left turn.
[Maggie meets her father at the bus stop as he is about to leave.]
I came to give you that back. [returns the picture of her as a little girl to him] That little girl... so desperate to win her father's love. You left her on the side of the road. And all these years, I've been that little girl. Yearning for my papá to come back for me. Praying that one day, he would see me and love me for who I am. Thank you for coming to the shower. You gave me an amazing gift. You showed me that I'm not that scared little girl in that picture anymore. I am an adult woman , and I am happy in my own skin, and I'm so fortunate that I'm surrounded by people who value and cherish me. I finally understand. I don't need you to see me or to get me or to even like me. I don't need anything from you. I'm already good.... Goodbye, Papá. [walks away]
