Quotes
-
Cat Grant : [addressing Kara, Winn, James, and Barry] All four of you standing there doing nothing, you look like the attractive, yet non-threatening, racially diverse cast of a CW show.
-
Kara Danvers : Barry's leaving town and I was gonna see him off.
Cat Grant : Okay. Tell Mr. Allen to have a good time zipping around in his red outfit.
Kara Danvers : Wait, you knew he was The Flash?
Cat Grant : Oh, please. Barry shows up, The Flash shows up. His insistence on that silly name. And he was so unfailingly charming and nice, that he had to be either a superhero or a Mormon.
-
Cat Grant : Now, I have to name this hero. I was thinking about "The Woosh" or "The Red Streak" or "The Blur."
Barry Allen : What about The Flash? I'm just saying, I think that's a pretty cool superhero name. Right?
Cat Grant : The Flash? Sounds like someone whose only superhero power is jumping out of an alley in a trench coat.
[Barry looks shocked at this comparison. James smiles broadly and Winn looks like he's trying not laugh]
Cat Grant : No. I want mystery, I want intrigue, I want "The Blur."
[Barry can't speak]
-
Cat Grant : There's a new superhero in National Coty. This is huge. Direct competition for Supergirl.
Kara Danvers : He doesn't HAVE to be... competition.
Cat Grant : Would you prefer... a sidekick?
Barry Allen : No, not a sidekick. More like an equal, or an ally...
[Winn pats Barry on the shoulder]
Barry Allen : ... a new - partner, maybe...
[Cat stares stoically at him; he nods]
Barry Allen : ... Speaking was the wrong choice. I see that now.
-
Kara Danvers : Miss Grant, you have to leave now.
Cat Grant : Ker-rah, I thought I told you to tell Bernie Sanders that I am not interested in Hot Yoga.
-
Cat Grant : Ker-rah, call security. I haven't seen eyes that crazy since I had fondue with Ramona Singer.
-
Cat Grant : [Talking about Supergirl to Kara Danvers] National City may have lost faith, but I haven't. And you shouldn't either.
-
[once The Flash is revealed to be in National City]
Cat Grant : There's a new superhero in National City. This is huge; direct competition for Supergirl.
Kara Danvers : He doesn't have to be... competition.
Cat Grant : Would you prefer... a sidekick?
Barry Allen : No, not a sidekick. More like an equal, or an ally...
[Winn pats Barry's shoulder]
Barry Allen : ...a new partner, maybe?
[Cat stares stoically; Barry nods]
Barry Allen : Speaking was the wrong choice. I see that now.

Cat Grant : I can see in your eyes, Kira, that you want one. But you're too scared. So instead, you gaze longingly from a safe distance, wishing that you had one all of your own. Well, let me tell you, cupcakes like these, they don't last. They get snatched up and devoured. And if you don't act fast, so will he.
Kara Danvers : Ms. Grant...
Cat Grant : Kira, if you haven't caught on by now, I am trying to make a parallel between this box of cupcakes and your nonexistent love life.
Kara Danvers : I'm not that comfortable talking about this with you.
[turning to leave, then turning back]
Kara Danvers : But if I did, what am I supposed to do? James said he needs time to think. But what is that? Time for him to talk himself out of it?
Cat Grant : If you want James, you are going to have to make a power move. Make yourself unavailable. Make him jealous. If you must, read my 1998 guide to finding love entitled "The Lighthouse Technique". Shine your light and let him come to you. And before you know it, he'll be docked in your port. It's not my best work, but it did get me a spot on "Oprah".
Kara Danvers : So the best way to go after James is... not go after him at all?
Cat Grant : [picking up a cupcake] Mmm. Precisely. Try less, shine more.
Kara Danvers : Hmm.
Cat Grant : [slapping Kara's hand away from the cupcake box] These are mine.
