Alex and Kara in “Unfinished Business”

Alex

You've been weird ever since I told you.

Kara

I don't mean to be.

Alex

Kara, I know when you're sad, or when you're disappointed. I don't know what I would do if you were disappointed in me.

Kara

I would never be disappointed in you, but you said you didn't want to talk about it anymore.

Alex

Well, I do. If... if you're not okay with it...

Kara

I'm SO okay with it! Sit down. Alex, come and talk with me. [Alex sits] I think I owe you an apology.

Alex

For what?

Kara

For not creating an environment where you felt that you could talk about this with me. All those years we spent together growing up, the endless nights talking and sharing, now I realize that they were all about me and my secret. There's never been room for you, and that's my fault. And I'm so sorry.

Alex

You didn't do anything wrong.

Kara

And I know... I know that this is not the same at all, but I do know how it feels to keep a part of yourself shut off, to keep it inside. And I know how lonely that can make you feel. But Alex, you are not alone.

Alex

I can't do this without you.

Kara

You don't have to. So what about Maggie? What's she like?

Alex

I... I just like her so much. You know, she's smart and she's tough and she's just beautiful. She's so beautiful.

Kara

So are you.

Alex

D.E.O.'s reporting an alien attacking civilians in an alleyway downtown.

Kara

I'll go get the alien. You get the girl.
