Supergirl (TV Series)

Crime and Punishment (2019)

Mehcad Brooks: James Olsen

Quotes 

• President Baker : My fellow Americans, it has been a day since Supergirl's attack on the White House, in apparent retaliation for our repeal of the Alien Amnesty Act. While she and those with whom she conspired remain at large, I have an obligation to ensure the safety of all citizens. So, at 1900 hours today, I am imposing a sundown to sun-up curfew.

  Mackenzie : [watching on TV at CatCo]  They better catch her.

  James Olsen : Supergirl did not do this.

  President Baker : Humans caught loitering will be cited. Aliens will be stopped by any means necessary. And to Supergirl, turn yourself in. We do not want a war with you, but we vow to use every asset in our power to see that justice is done.

  Lena Luthor : [watching with Alex and Supergirl at L-Corp]  Justice? What a crock.

• Kelly Olsen : Nervous?

  James Olsen : Not at all. I've just canceled three times in my head already today, so there's that.

  Kelly Olsen : Dr. Park is the best trauma therapist in National City. She practically wrote the book on PTSD. Still, it's-it's hard, I know. I have seen soldiers paralyzed over what you're about to do. I am so proud of you. And dad would be, too.

• James Olsen : I get that I should be grateful. And I am.

  Dr. Park : But?

  James Olsen : But I'm pissed. I know I need to be here, but this just feels... I'm Guardian, and I protect people. And people look up to me when...

  Dr. Park : Do you feel like you don't deserve help?

  James Olsen : I feel like I shouldn't need help. I feel like I should be strong enough to just get over this. Of course, if you have a magic pill, I'll take it.

  Dr. Park : Sadly, this process takes time. For today, I can give you a starting point to deal with anxiety or any negative feelings that may come up. A calming tool.

  James Olsen : Okay, sure.

• Kelly Olsen : James, I got your message. It sounded urgent. What's up?

  James Olsen : It happened again. But this time, I could see 500 feet. Like it was right in front of me. And I could hear things that nobody should be able to hear.

  Kelly Olsen : It could be a hallucination. Those are known symptoms.

  James Olsen : I would love to believe that. I would, but this-this was... this was too real.

  [showing her the lamp he crushed one-handed] 

  James Olsen : We have to talk to Lena. This is more than PTSD.
