The only reason I bought this building was because it had a private elevator. That way I don't have to get soaked in cheap cologne every morning getting to my office. Find out who used it, have them reprimanded or bathed, I don't care which.

KDKara Danvers
Uh, there's something about me that for most of my life, I've run from it. But last night, I embraced who I am and I don't want to stop.
Oh, my God, you're a lesbian. Oh, Kara, that's why you're not into me. This is... this is great news!
I'm not gay! I'm... I'm her! The woman who saved the plane!
Okay. Yeah, okay. Right. [Kara walks toward the ledge] Kara, what are you doing? Hey, Kara! Hey, get away from the ledge, you're gonna get hurt. [Kara jumps off] Kara! Hey! [Kara flies back up and lands on the roof] You're... You're her.
Yup.
This one has the "S". For "Super", just like your cousin.
It's not an "S". It's my family coat of arms. The House of El.
[on discovering that Cat dubbed her "Supergirl"] Supergirl? We can't name her that!
We didn't.
Right, I'm sorry. It's just, uh... A female superhero. Shouldn't she be called Super... woman?
I'm sorry, darling, I just can't hear you over the loud color of your cheap pants.
If we call her Supergirl, something less than what she is, doesn't that make us guilty of, of being anti-feminist? Didn't you say she's the hero?
I'm the hero. I stuck a label on the side of the girl. I branded her. She will forever be linked to CatCo, to the Tribune, to m e. And what do you think is so bad about "girl?" Huh? I'm a girl. And your boss, and powerful, and rich, and hot and smart. So if you perceive Supergirl as anything less than excellent, isn't the real problem you?
Director Henshaw. I wasn't recruited because of my sister, was I?
Yeah, she's why you got in. You are why you to get to stay.
I see you share your cousin's appetite for wanton destruction, Miss Danvers.
You know, I am starting to answer to Supergirl.
Oh, God. Is that smell you?
Three showers and I still reek of burning oil. I went from superhero to eco-terrorist in a single bound.
I am not doing that interview. No. I can't... I mean I can't. Ms. Grant's not stupid. She'd recognize me in, like, one second.
She will look at Supergirl right in the face and she will not see her assistant.
How can you be so sure?
Because she doesn't see you now. I watched it happen for years with your cousin. Why don't you think that people recognize him as Clark Kent?
Reading glasses and a good slouch?
No, he's able to hide because the world can't believe he's really a hero in their mist.
Yeah, and I'm sure there's a good reason why my cousin keeps his job at the Daily Planet instead of flying around as Superman all the time, which would be so much easier.
Yeah, well, one, he's able to pay his rent.
Maybe I put the "S" on too soon.
Kara, look at the window. Tell me what you see.
Buildings. Billboards. There's that bar where that guy cards me all the time. He knows how old I am.
I see a city full of people who need help. Who need a hero.
You really think so?
If anyone can fill Superman's boots... It's you.
James, part of being your own man is knowing when to ask for help.
It's you. Oh, no. I'm sorry. I meant to say who are you?
According to you, I'm Supergirl.
Trademark pending.
Have you lost your mind? What were you thinking giving interviews?
I wouldn't say it was an interview exactly. It was more of a private conversation that's being published.
What's next? A book deal? A reality show? "Keeping Up with the Kryptonians"?
[shows his signal watch] Kara, he gave me this a long time ago. If I ever got in trouble, I could contact him.
But you weren't in trouble. When did you even call him? The second I left?
Kara, I made a promise to your cousin. If anything ever happened to you...
My cousin doesn't get a "get out of a jam card" when he first started. Neither should I.
I'm just trying to keep you safe.
And, yes, I appreciate that. But of all the things the "S" stands for, safety is not one of them.
It wasn't supposed to be this way. This is the reason my mother and father sent me to Earth.
They wanted you to live.
No, it's more than that. I was supposed to be the one saving him, not the other way around. How am I supposed to really become a hero if Superman has to keep saving me?
Your story... Your story is just starting. And some day you're gonna be the one saving him.
