Supergirl (TV Series)

Event Horizon (2019)

Kari Wahlgren: Hope

Quotes 

• Hope : May I ask you something, Ms. Luthor?

  Lena Luthor : Yes, Hope.

  Hope : These simulations you've been running in virtual reality. My calculations show it is possible they can be achieved in the real world.

  Lena Luthor : Are you offering to help me kill Supergirl?

  Hope : Yes. Would you like me to facilitate?

  Lena Luthor : I appreciate the offer, Hope. You grow more intelligent and capable by the day. And your assistance comes without ambition, drama, or ego.

  Hope : That's why you built me.

  Lena Luthor : Precisely. Because I trust in technology, not people. People are governed by feelings; anger hurt, sadness. And I'm guilty of that, too. That's why I engage in these simulations, to excise these emotions. I'm not a villain. I don't wanna kill Supergirl; I just want her to experience the same hurt she inflicted on me. And soon enough, she will.

• Hope : The file was ready to upload. Why didn't you send it, exposing Supergirl's identity to the world? Did you forgive Kara Danvers?

  Lena Luthor : She betrayed me. It broke my heart. I could never forgive her.

  Hope : Then I don't understand.

  Lena Luthor : How could you? You're not a Luthor. We're scorpions. When someone betrays us, we sting. But I have a calling, Hope, and it's to fix mankind. I never thought Supergirl would tell me who she was, but now that she has, I have an opportunity, and I can use Supergirl to achieve my ends. That is easier to do if she believes there is trust.

  Lena Luthor : Load the simulation.

  Hope : Yes, Ms. Luthor.

• Child : [after she stops a speeding bus that would have ploughed into schoolchildren]  Thanks, Supergirl. When I grow up, I wanna be just like you.

  Supergirl : Oh, that's easy. You just have to fight for what's right and always tell the truth.

  Lena Luthor : [sneering from the sidewalk across the street]  Always tell the truth. That's rich.

  Supergirl : Ms. Luthor. Is everything all right?

  Lena Luthor : Why so formal? I thought we were best friends. Kara.

  Supergirl : [quietly]  You know?

  Lena Luthor : Know what? That you're a hypocrite who's been lying to me for years?

  Supergirl : No, Lena, I didn't...

  [Lena punches her, sending her into the bus, which explodes] 

  Lena Luthor : Terminate.

  Hope : Virtual reality simulation terminated.
