J'onn and Supergirl in “Unfinished Business”

J'onn

I've been trying to tell you, the climate towards aliens is changing.

Supergirl

Yeah. Yes, I agree it is, but for the better. And yes, there will always be extremists like whoever attacked the bar, but overall, I think this country has made incredible progress. The president is about to celebrate the second anniversary of the Alien Amnesty Act, and for the first time on Earth, aliens are embraced as citizens with equal rights...

J'onn

Which is part of the backlash. The assimilation with aliens has sparked fear among many humans. And aliens are feeling the brunt of that anger.

Supergirl

I'm an alien, and I've been all over the world recently, and I've never felt more love.

J'onn

Part of the reason why you're embraced as a hero is because you present as human. Most aliens do not share that privilege. I'm afraid your experiences are not the best barometer here.

Supergirl

I'm embraced as a hero because I'm good at my job. And I really don't appreciate you questioning my judgment.

J'onn

I'm just trying to offer you a different perspective.

Supergirl

J'onn, you left the D.E.O. So maybe now it's time you leave protecting the city to me.
