Supergirl quotes

Mon-El

Winn, hey, I heard you fixed it (the Legion cruiser). How did you–

Winn

I... I mean, I, I assisted.

That was a little more than an assist. He reset Morran math, the chronorunner and time measurement system on a scale of twelve instead of ten.

Winn

Yes, sort of how in America, we use inches instead of the metric system. They must have switched over before this here battery was invented, which actually, you know, gives me hope for America.

Mon-El

So we were overloading the fuel cells.

Winn

Bingo.

Mon-El

Thanks, Winn.

Winn

I mean, if you really want to thank me, you could, uh... let me take this out for a test drive. Just sayin'.

M'yrnn

[worn out from singing Karaoke] Karao-ke is not for the weak. It requires either great courage or a complete lack of shame. But I like it.

James

You mind if I stay out here for a second with you?

Winn

[struggling with his feelings] Like, he's just gone, right? That's, that's all. I mean, it's not like anything's gonna change. I... never talked to him, never saw him, I....

James

That doesn't mean you never felt him.

Winn

Uh, I'm supposed to be feeling something, right? I don't feel... [gestures emptily] anything... I don't think... um,... Just go inside.

James

I'm not going back in.

Winn

Okay.

Mon-El

Hey, I, uh... I owe you an apology.

Kara

For what?

Mon-El

When we were together, I never really got... how it must have been for you to find out that I had been lying. About being Daxxam's prince, about a lot of stuff. And I am sorry that I did that to you.

Kara

I do really appreciate you saying that.

Mon-El

Yes, of course.

Kara

Are you okay?

Mon-El

Uh, yeah, Imra... Imra lied to me. About, um,... about something big. With Legion business. And Brainy was in on it, too.

Kara

Oh. Wow.

Mon-El

Yeah. When your wife conspires with your best friend, it–

Kara

Feels like garbage.

Alex

You've chosen to live as a black man in America. Which is a harder existence, in and of itself. Why?

J'onn

You know, I was... I was forced to become Hank Henshaw out of desperation, but now I, I choose this face. I like it. And I wouldn't want to live in a world where I need to change the color of my skin to feel safe, to feel seen, to feel like... I'm not a target. I'd rather change the world.

M'yrnn

And whatever my son's fight may be, I choose it as well.

Alex

And I have your backs.

Sorry about the mess.

Kara

Oh, this? This is... that's not your fault

Can I ask, uh, when it comes to your day-to-day, on a scale of one to ten... how big of a pain in the ass are flying monkeys?

Kara

Maybe a two.

Winn

I have done something amazing.

Kara

Did you find Pestilence?

Winn

I have done... something okay. [to Mon-El] You. Come here.

Mon-El

What?

Winn

I have fixed your old suit.

Mon-El

Winn. [hugs Winn, lifting him off the ground]

Winn

[to Kara] Hey, can I say it? Can I say it? Please?

Kara

Yes.

Winn

[to Mon-El] Suit up.

M'yrnn

Now come. Play a match with me. I never tire of beating you.

J'onn

I gotta get back to work. Why don't you bring the game to the D.E.O.? We can play later.

M'yrnn

As soon as I finish my game against Zook (J'onn's childhood imaginary friend).... [looks around, confused] He was right here. Where is he?

J'onn

[concerned] Dad?

M'yrnn

[winks at J'onn, who becomes visibly relieved.] A joke.

J'onn

Not funny, Dad.

M'yrnn

Only because you did not see your face.

Lena

An employee of mine asked for help with a problem. And now that I've diagnosed the solution, they don't want to accept it.

James

Sounds like they need an intervention.

Lena

Tried that. It's not going well.

James

Yeah, I had a roommate, in college. Great guy, but he started taking something. I'm not sure what it was, but he would come home, all hours of the night, and just tear the place apart. I tried to tell him that he had a problem, but he never wanted to hear it. So I just kept cleaning up after him.

Lena

Did he ever acknowledge what was wrong with him?

James

See, that's the thing. No matter how bad you want to help somebody, all you can really do is hold up a mirror.

Kara

[upon seeing Mon-El in costume] Wow.

Mon-El

You always said I cleaned up nicely. It's just like old times, huh? Training again?

Kara

Except I basically had to twist your arm to train. You had no interest in being a hero. And now....

Mon-El

We've come a long way.

J'onn

I can face down the toughest adversaries without fear, but talking to my father about this (his dementia).... [regains his composure] I don't want to take away more from him than he's already lost. I just got him back. The practice of ta'ha kareek keeps him as close to the man I've always known. I... I don't want to give that up.

Kara

My uncle Jor-El used to say "The son becomes the father, and the father the son."

Alex

[drawing her gun] Hey! Stop right there.

Mon-El

Whoa. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Guys, it's Brainy.

Brainy

Oh, of course. I'm wearing a personal image inducer. [touches his forehead, regains his alien appearance] I had to purchase some apple cider vinegar and I nearly caused a riot at the Piggly Wiggly.

Kara

Huh.

Brainy

[resuming his illusory disguise] I thought this would, uh... help me fit in better.

Winn

[walking in] Hey, guys. I just got word from City H-- [sees the disguised Brainy] .... Hi, Brainy

Kara

Wait, you-you recognize him?

Winn

Yeah. What, is that an image inducer? Eh? Ah, so our brains just think we're seeing a human, but nooo. Hey, can I borrow that for Halloween?

Well, if you're sure it's not contagious, then I need the quarantine lifted and the patients transferred to the nearest trauma facility.

Alex

We have a lead on a treatment.

You do? Already?

Winn

Well, we work very fast on account of being really smart. [smiles goofily]

Some people find humor charming during stressful circumstances. I find it's a mask for a lack of confidence.

Winn

Well, I find that... I have no retort.

Kara

Do you think I'll get through to Pestilence?

J'onn

There's no way of knowing. You just have to try.

Kara

That's not what Yoda would say.

J'onn

Oh, yeah. Yoda. "Do or do not." He was wrong about that one.

Mon-El

We took an oath when we formed the Legion: to preserve all that is good and to never harm the innocent. How is this mission in line with that? We should not kill Pestilence. [off Brainy's look] And you're obviously on Imra's side..

Brainy

It's not about picking sides, Mon-El. If we kill Pestilence when we find her, there is a 98.459 percent chance the Blight will never happen. Millions of people will be saved. Now, if we try to rescue the person inside of her in order to defeat her, that chance is reduced to 52.744 percent.

Mon-El

Some decisions can't be made with a math equation.
