Quotes 

• Thomas Coville : Now, many of us don't get second chances at life. Many of us stay lost. And I'm not talking about driving around in circles because you are running out of gas and you have no GPS. I'm talking about being spiritually lost and needing to find your way back home, like Olivia. Don't be shy. It's okay.

  Olivia : Hello. Uh... well, it was, um... it was spring break when I caught my boyfriend cheating on me with my best friend. And I... I took it hard; snuck into a rooftop party, and I got totally wasted, and I stood on the ledge as a joke. And the next thing I knew, I was falling. And as I fell, I thought "I hope, if this is it, that it's quick." But it wasn't quick, and that fall lasted an eternity. And then she caught me, and she told me that everything is gonna be okay. Because of Supergirl, I realized that I still deserve to be loved. Supergirl saved me.

  [applause] 

  James Olsen : Do you remember saving her?

  Kara Danvers : I... I remember all of them.

• Kara Danvers : I think it's admirable that you want to help people. I mean, logically, Supergirl can't save everyone. There's only one of her.

  Thomas Coville : Is this a test?

  Kara Danvers : Excuse me?

  Thomas Coville : Did you come here to test my faith? Supergirl.

  Kara Danvers : I'm not... I'm... I'm not...

  Thomas Coville : I looked into your eyes from my seat on that plane. When you look into the eyes of God, you do not forget.

• Supergirl : Winn, you're gonna have to tell me how to shut it down.

  [she gasps and falls to the floor] 

  Olivia : What's wrong with her?

  Thomas Coville : Don't worry. This is all part of Rao's plan.

  Supergirl : Winn. Winn!

  Winn Schott : Supergirl, what's happening?

  Supergirl : It's...

  [she scans the probe and sees a container of green] 

  Supergirl : ...kryptonite. Kryptonite!

  Hank Henshaw : Alex, something went wrong.

  Alex Danvers : Yeah, I heard. We need to stop this game.

  Guard : We got a packed house, Agent Danvers. You yell "bomb" out here, people are gonna get trampled.

• Thomas Coville : Welcome, Children of Rao.

  James Olsen : This is starting to feel a little...

  Winn Schott : Culty?

  James Olsen : Yeah.

  Thomas Coville : We're here, all of us, by her grace. We're here together, standing in the light, for just one reason. We're here because Supergirl saved us.

• Thomas Coville : Now, every day, our sister Olivia lives in the light of Rao's presence on Earth. The light that shines through Supergirl. In the name of Supergirl, our savior...

  [the congregation answers him in unison] 

  Thomas Coville : ...we give thanks.

  [they answer him again in unison] 

  Winn Schott : Wait a minute. Who... who exactly are they praying to?

  Kara Danvers : Me. They're praying to me.

• Thomas Coville : Your secret is safe with me. As Rao says, "let my guide walk amongst you, and shelter her."

  Kara Danvers : I am not God. Rao is.

  Thomas Coville : Rao says that even his gods can lose their way. If you're lost, I can help you.

  Kara Danvers : [he retrieves a Kryptonian artifact]  Where did you get that?

  Thomas Coville : I found every artifact of Krypton there was to find. This contains Rao's words. This can remind you of what Rao says.

  Kara Danvers : I know what Rao says. You are perverting it.

  [taking off her glasses] 

  Kara Danvers : You're going to stop having these meetings. You are going to stop telling people to put themselves in danger. If I am a God, you need to do as I say. You need to trust me.

  Thomas Coville : I trust you.

• Supergirl : Whatever you did to the Betahedron, to the probe, you have to stop it, now.

  Thomas Coville : Don't you see? The beauty. The same vessel that delivered Rao's word to Earth has now become an instrument for destruction. To give you the chance to deliver thousands to our ranks. A test to reaffirm to yourself what Rao sees in you.

  Supergirl : But Rao is peaceful. Rao would never ask his followers to endanger other people. What you are doing is an insult to him.

  Thomas Coville : What we are doing is in service of him. And in service of you.

• Alex Danvers : You're gonna have to shut that thing down. We won't get everybody out in time. Repeat, we will not evacuate in time.

  Supergirl : We are all going to die! You need to shut it down.

  Olivia : You said that she would save us! That she would save everybody.

  Thomas Coville : And she will. Those people up there, they need to be awoken. Only you can do that. You are the one to deliver Rao's light upon all of us.

  Supergirl : Don't you see?

  [having picked up something sharp, she cuts her hand and shows him the blood] 

  Supergirl : I am no God.

• Kara Danvers : Are they treating you well?

  Thomas Coville : Oh, yes. Thank you.

  Kara Danvers : I have to ask. Are you going to tell anyone who I am?

  Thomas Coville : Hmm. I know you gave me a name at the rec center, but honestly, I can't even remember it. That's not who you are.

  Kara Danvers : You don't know who I am at all.

  Thomas Coville : Oh, I know that even gods can lose their way. When I looked into your eyes that night on the plane, you were clear, and free. Now your eyes are clouded, with doubt, loss. You're at a crossroads, and I finally understand Rao's will for me. To help you on your journey. To bring you back to clarity of purpose. Back to balance, back to... peace. This isn't my prison. This is my salvation. And so I will continue to pray to you. But I will also pray for you.
