Helen Slater: Eliza Danvers

Call to Action

Eliza Danvers

Eliza Danvers: [seeing the canned cranberry sauce Alex bought] You didn't think about using real cranberries?
Alex Danvers: Well, like that's any better than this.
Kara Danvers: Well, it does look easier to digest. I'm still feeling queasy from hearing the audience cheer for Lockwood.
Alex Danvers: Look, don't beat yourself up, okay?
Lena Luthor: Yeah. It wasn't even supposed to be you up there.

Eliza Danvers: I hope you don't mind, but Kara told me about your narcolepsy.
Nia Nal: Oh. It's really not that big of a deal.
Eliza Danvers: My friend, Dr. Mosier, is a specialist in sleep disorders, right here in National City.
Nia Nal: Oh, my gosh. What an... unexpected coincidence.
Eliza Danvers: I already texted her. She can get you in any time next week.
Nia Nal: No! No, thank you. Um... I already have a doctor here.
Eliza Danvers: Oh. Who? Maybe... maybe I know them.
Nia Nal: Uh... doc... Doctor, uh... Smith.
Eliza Danvers: Gene Smith?
Nia Nal: No. Um... uh... uh, Minsky. Dr. Minsky Smith.
Eliza Danvers: [to herself] Minsky...
Nia Nal: He's really young. I'm sure you don't know him. Well, not that you don't know young people.

Eliza Danvers: How did things go with your Children of Liberty contact? Doesn't seem very safe, James.
James Olsen: I happened to meet with a regular guy named Tom who happens to be afraid of aliens and afraid of their capabilities, and he feels inferior.
Kara Danvers: People can be powerful, too. You and Alex are examples of that, James.
Lena Luthor: Yeah, but not as powerful as aliens. I mean, no matter how many weights you lift, you'll never be as strong as Supergirl.
Alex Danvers: No, but with technology, we can hold our own.
Lena Luthor: What if we could do more? What if we could make people super?
Eliza Danvers: It's not possible. The biological processes that cause alien powers are incompatible with human DNA.
Lena Luthor: Okay, but just say we could, right? If James is right and people feeling inferior is what makes them join these hate groups, then we could just... level the playing field.
J'onn J'onzz: The last thing we need is a bunch of evil people running around with superpowers.
Lena Luthor: Okay, but evil people wouldn't get powers.
James Olsen: So only certain people qualify?
Alex Danvers: And who would decide who gets them? They'd be playing God.
