- Supergirl: It was an honor, Madam President. It was nothing. And I still can't believe I got to see Air Force One.
- President Olivia Marsdin: If you think that's cool, you ought to see my other jet.
- Supergirl: It's amazing, an executive order allowing aliens on Earth to come out of the shadows and live as full citizens. She's making history.
- J'onn J'onzz: Not in my book, I think she's making a big mistake.
- Supergirl: Now, how can you of all people say that?
- J'onn J'onzz: Because it's been my hard experience that humans and aliens don't mix.
- Supergirl: What about you and me?
- J'onn J'onzz: What about us? We can look like them, we blend in, a lot of aliens can't. And people in this world don't have much tolerance for others who look different. I say that as an alien and as someone who's worn the face of a black man for 15 years.
- Winn Schott: I've never heard of Daxam.
- J'onn J'onzz: It's a sister world to Krypton. Both capable of sustaining life, both orbiting the same sun.
- Alex Danvers: You've never mentioned it before.
- Supergirl: Hundreds of years ago, Krypton and Daxam fought a bloody war to a stalemate. Thousands of lives were lost on both sides because of a pointless war Daxam started.
- Winn Schott: What were they fighting about?
- Supergirl: Krypton was a democracy. A world of explorers, philsophers, scientists, and Daxam, was a monarchy. With kings and queens who ruled a population of hoodlums. We had a saying on Krypton for Daxamites, "May tex kolar Daxam."
- Alex Danvers: And that means...
- Supergirl: Nothing I can repeat in English.
- Supergirl: [surprised] I'm... meeting the President?
- Alex Danvers: Unless you're too nervous to do so.
- Supergirl: Nervous?
- [chuckling]
- Supergirl: No. Me? I'm not... No, I'm not nervous. No, it's... Nervous? Yeah, yes, yeah, I'm really nervous. I'm nervous! It's the President.
- J'onn J'onzz: You'll be representing this entire organization. I expect you'll be professional.
- Supergirl: [nods calmly] Yes.
- J'onn J'onzz: And for the record, she's the one who's lucky to meet you.
- Supergirl: Thanks.
- [big smile, fidgets with her hair]
- Supergirl: Should I get a blowout?
- J'onn J'onzz: Oh, dear God.
- [leaves in a huff]
- Supergirl: [to Alex] What?
- Alex Danvers: What is this place?
- Maggie Sawyer: It's a safe haven. Place for off-world'ers to hang out, have a drink. Not feel so alone for a minute.
- Alex Danvers: So, this is where you get all your information about the alien populace in National City.
- Maggie Sawyer: They also make mean peach mojito.
- Supergirl: Not surprised you would make a joke of this. Your entire race thinks nothing but themselves.
- Mon-El: And you would know all about my race, Kryptonian? Judging by that self-righteous glyph on your chest. Hey, so shouldn't you already have all the answers?
- Supergirl: What's that supposed to mean?
- Mon-El: Well, I know how your people feel about us. High-and-mighty, "enlightened" Krypton. Looking down on us lowly peasants ever since you attacked us with no provocation.
- Supergirl: We attacked you? Is that... Why did you send a broadcast to Daxam?
- Mon-El: It was a distress call.
- Supergirl: Why were you sending a distress call?
- Mon-El: Because I'm in distress! Okay, I'm not here by choice. I'm just letting my people know I'm alive.
- Supergirl: Yeah, okay. So if you're marooned on this planet, why are you trying to kill the President?
- Mon-El: Sorry, what's a... What's a pres... Presibent?
- Supergirl: If you thought I punched hard before, wait till you see me when I'm angry.
- Mon-El: I didn't come here to kill anyone!
- Supergirl: Good, because you never will.
- Mon-El: Right, and you've already made up your mind about me. So, it seems kind of pointless to keep talking to you. Bye-bye, your highness.
- Maggie Sawyer: I do like aliens more than most humans.
- Alex Danvers: Why?
- Maggie Sawyer: I relate to them, I guess. Growing up a non-white, non-straight girl in Blue Springs, Nebraska... might as well have been from Mars. I was an outcast and felt like it.
- President Olivia Marsdin: I can think of no better time than the present to extend our hand in friendship.
- J'onn J'onzz: Even if that hand might get bitten off?
- President Olivia Marsdin: One has to have hope.
- J'onn J'onzz: What if it's false hope?
- President Olivia Marsdin: It's hope, J'onn. How can it be false?
- Supergirl: Did you hear that? That was like a legit quote. People are going to quote her.
- [the other two look at her incredulously]
- Supergirl: Okay, well, I have to go. I'm conducting my very first interview as a reporter. Just... call me if she says anything else cool, okay?
- [goes off enthusiastically]
- Alex Danvers: What do you think?
- J'onn J'onzz: I think hope isn't gonna catch our would-be assassin.
- Lena Luthor: Uh, if you have a parking ticket, I can have it validated for you.
- Kara Danvers: No, no, no, that's fine. I flew here.
- [hasty correction:]
- Kara Danvers: On... on a bus.
- Supergirl: If you thought I punched hard before, wait till you see me when I'm angry!
- Mon-El: Hey, I didn't come here to kill anyone!
- Supergirl: Good, 'cause you never will.
- Mon-El: [annoyed sound] Right, and you've already made up your mind about me, so it seems kind of pointless to keep talking to you. Bye-bye, Your Highness.
- [makes obsequious gesture, lies down on bunk]
- Mon-El: Oh, that's better.
- [ignoring Kara does not go down well with her]
