Quotes 

• 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.

• Alex Danvers : Thank you for meeting me.

  Kelly Olsen : Any time. So, what's up?

  Alex Danvers : I wanted to get your advice on something, being a therapist. Uh... I'm sorry, I hope that's not weird that I asked.

  Kelly Olsen : I can make a one-time exception for a friend.

• Alex Danvers : My commanding officer and I both agree that we think that something suspicious is going on at the Department of Alien Affairs, and I am trying to tell her that we can't just follow their every order, but she insists on the chain of command. And I don't know how to reach her.

  Kelly Olsen : Well, uh... can I take a stab?

  Alex Danvers : Please.

  Kelly Olsen : You need to stop getting angry and get smart. Okay, now I had a real jerk of a C.O. We were stationed at a checkpoint on the outskirts of Bashur. And one day, a man pulled up in this decrepit pickup, his pregnant wife in the back, and he's just trying to get to the only midwife in the region. Just a half mile across town. And the C.O. doesn't care. Rules are rules and he doesn't have the right papers.

  Alex Danvers : So what did you do?

  Kelly Olsen : I yelled and screamed about doing the right thing and got nowhere. But my sergeant convinced the C.O. that it would be safer for his unit not to risk the life of the man's wife and child. He knew what the C.O. cared most about; his men. You can't change people. But you can appeal to who they are. Even the toughest C.O.s care about something.

  [silence, as Alex mulls things over] 

  Kelly Olsen : Let me guess, right now you're wishing that you never called me.

  Alex Danvers : Actually, it's quite the opposite. I'm really glad you didn't leave.

• 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.
