Dark Side of the Moon (2018)

David Harewood: J'onn J'onzz

Quotes 

• J'onn J'onzz : Reign is becoming immune to Ms. Luthor's synthetic Kryptonite faster than we expected.

  Winn Schott : Oh.

  J'onn J'onzz : To be on the safe side, I've evacuated L-Corp, and I have a strike team standing by with sound guns, body boots, and red sun grenades.

  Winn Schott : Because that's worked approximately zero times before.

  J'onn J'onzz : Do I seem appropriately stoic and grave to you now, Mr. Schott?

  Winn Schott : Better crank that baby up to twelve.

• J'onn J'onzz : Agent Schott, any word from Supergirl?

  Winn Schott : No, but we expected that. They're on the dark side, which means they're probably scraping off a nice chunk of space rock off a much larger piece of space rock any minute.

  J'onn J'onzz : I need to know the second they're on their way back.

  Winn Schott : Well, I got the radio dialed up to eleven. Like, I re-tasked six military satellites to scan all airspace around the meteorite, and then I've just been obsessively checking that scan for, like, the faintest blip. I will not miss them.

  J'onn J'onzz : Hmm.

  Winn Schott : And yet you seem, uh, more stoic and grave than usual, which, if we're being honest, is making me, like, a little bit queasy.

• Alex Danvers : Someone's trying to kill me.

  Winn Schott : Oh, things are not chill.

  J'onn J'onzz : You sure you were the target?

  Alex Danvers : A hundred percent. Guys, this is really bad. Okay? I can't have some psycho who's trying to murder me out there on the loose while I'm taking care of Ruby. I mean, she's been through so much. She's seen so much. And god forbid, what if she got hurt? And it's on my watch. I-I... I can't live with that.

• J'onn J'onzz : Who would want you dead?

  Winn Schott : Where do we start? Okay, well, there's Griggs, uh... the Hellgrammite, Hannibal. I mean...

  Alex Danvers : Look, the Hellgrammite and Griggs have been in containment. So that's a no.

  J'onn J'onzz : Hannibal, we deported after the Daxamite invasion.

  Winn Schott : Right.

  Alex Danvers : Okay, so let's just keep narrowing it down.

• Alex Danvers : Who else has tried to kill me before and failed?

  Winn Schott : What about good ol' Ricky, huh?

  [showing a picture of Rick Malverne] 

  Winn Schott : He definitely hates you.

  J'onn J'onzz : Oh, hated. I mind-wiped him, remember?

  Winn Schott : Oh.

  J'onn J'onzz : But we shouldn't discount people from your past, if this really is personal. It may be someone from before your time at the DEO. Somebody who may have threatened you before.

• Alex Danvers : Pull up Ron Collins.

  Winn Schott : Ronald Collins. Let's see. Age 56. Recently made parole after... six failed attempts. Wow. Uh, let's see. He was in for...

  Alex Danvers : First-degree murder. I should know. He was my first arrest.

  Winn Schott : I'm sorry, that would have... that would have made you seventeen when you arrested him.

  [seeing her look] 

  Winn Schott : Yeah, that... that tracks.

  Alex Danvers : He lived his whole life in Midvale, and then he moves to National City after he was released from prison?

  Winn Schott : Eh, it's a big city.

  J'onn J'onzz : And yet he moved to within six blocks of your apartment.

  Alex Danvers : Okay, I ruined his life. He's trying to ruin mine. That's him.

• Alex Danvers : Winn, about Ruby...

  Winn Schott : [getting what she's asking]  No! No, I can't. No, I do not babysit anymore.

  Alex Danvers : She's twelve, okay? She's not a baby. So, it's just... you know, your words. Chill, it'll be fine.

  J'onn J'onzz : It takes a village, Agent Schott.

• Alex Danvers : You know, when you first approached me about working at the DEO, I was failing med school, I was drunk, and I was completely lost. But you, J'onn, you gave me purpose. You know, something to stand up for, something to devote my life to. But today, I risked my life for it. You know, I jumped straight across without hesitating, without even thinking. And to be honest, I mean, that wasn't even the tallest building that I have jumped off of in the line of duty.

  J'onn J'onzz : You are someone who makes the hard choices, Alex. You go the extra mile.

  Alex Danvers : Yeah, exactly. And that's who I am. It's just baked into me. You know, jumping buildings, making enemies. That's all part of the job. But the irony here is... is that the thing that I had to do to save myself is the very same thing that could have killed me. I mean, one more inch, and I would have died. And then...

  [indicating Ruby inside with Winn] 

  Alex Danvers : ...where would she be? I broke up with Maggie because I wanted to be a mother. And one day, I will be. You know, whether I'm with somebody or if I'm doing it by myself. I know that's what I want. And I know that that is who I am. Just like I know that I'm the person that's gonna jump the building to stop the bad guy. And I... I keep wondering. I mean, can those two people co-exist? And is that fair? Is it fair to the person that I'm coming home to?

  J'onn J'onzz : Hey, come on.

  [he takes her hand as a gesture of comfort] 

  J'onn J'onzz : You may be the person who jumps the building to stop the bad guy, but you're also one of the most intelligent, and intuitive women I... I know. You're an incredible agent. And I know you're going to be an incredible mother. So when the time is right, I know you'll make the choice that's right for you.

• Ruby Arias : [entering the DEO]  This place in intense.

  Alex Danvers : Yes. Definitely don't touch anything.

  J'onn J'onzz : Agent Danvers, Ruby, how are you?

  Ruby Arias : Oh, my gosh. It was crazy. There was this guy at the park, and he was shooting, and everyone was running, and then Alex caught a grenade.

  Alex Danvers : [downplaying]  It was really just not that big of a deal. I mean, we're fine, so everything is chill.

• Alex Danvers : I was so sure it was the sheriff.

  J'onn J'onzz : We'll figure this out.

  Alex Danvers : The list of people that want me dead is endless.

  J'onn J'onzz : All the more reason to cull it.

  Alex Danvers : No, J'onn, look, you don't understand. If Sam is gone, I am all that Ruby has left. And if I'm gone... look, screw the list. If this guy wants me, he can come and get me. It's our turn to hunt.

  J'onn J'onzz : You wanna set a trap.

  Alex Danvers : Like I said, I'm already a target, right? So let's draw this guy out and take him down.

• J'onn J'onzz : [masquerading as Alex]  Is everyone in position?

  [DEO agents move into place] 

  J'onn J'onzz : I repeat, is everyone in position?

  Alex Danvers : We're good to go, J'onn.

  J'onn J'onzz : Copy that. Keep your eyes open, everybody.

• Alex Danvers : Any sign of the suspect?

  J'onn J'onzz : All's quiet down here. But I'm completely exposed, so if he's gonna strike, time's now.

  Alex Danvers : [looking around]  Come on. Where are you?

• Alex Danvers : Status check.

  J'onn J'onzz : No sign of your suspect.

  Alex Danvers : [spotting something]  Wait a minute. I think I got something. Northwest. Baseball hat.

  [the suspect turns and shoots at Alex] 

  Alex Danvers : J'onn, we're made. I think he knows that you're not me.

  J'onn J'onzz : How did he know which one of us is which?

  Alex Danvers : I don't know, but he's on the move. I'm going after him.

  J'onn J'onzz : [shapeshifting back to himself]  Wait for backup, Agent Danvers.

  [seeing her take off] 

  J'onn J'onzz : Damn it, Alex!

• J'onn J'onzz : Hey, we just finished interrogating your attacker. He's from Naja Falk 7. He was able to tell us apart with his heightened sense of smell.

  Alex Danvers : A whole list of suspects from my past, and he wasn't even on it.
