Quotes9

  • Hank Henshaw: I see you share your cousin's appetite for wanton destruction, Miss Danvers.
  • Supergirl: You know, I am starting to answer to Supergirl.
  • Astra: You possess no weapon that could harm me.
  • Hank Henshaw: You're so wrong.
  • [stabs Astra with Kryptonite blade, she flies off]
  • Hank Henshaw: [to Kara] Any more family I should know about?
  • Hank Henshaw: That the fastest you can go?
  • Supergirl: Are these tests mandatory for everyone or just because I'm a...
  • Hank Henshaw: It's not because you're a woman, Ms. Danvers. The DEO requires rigorous physical and psychological evaluation for all our prospective field operatives.
  • Supergirl: I was gonna say "alien".
  • Hank Henshaw: Anonymous superhero can be a liability in the field. I need to know you're in full control of your powers. Stamina, strength, speed.
  • Alex Danvers: [Kara flies by overhead] My sister just broke the sound barrier, sir.
  • Alex Danvers: [teaching Kara a lesson about her powers] I hate that you made me do that.
  • Hank Henshaw: You should be thanking me. You may have just saved your sister's life.
  • Alex Danvers: What's the news on the Hellgrammite?
  • Hank Henshaw: We've confirmed six similar attacks on chemical plants across the country over the past year. He's been making his way to National City with enough chemical components to build a weapon of mass destruction.
  • Agent Hartmann: [entering] I'm not so sure about that, sir. The tests we ran on his blood indicate his alien DNA isn't carbon-based like humans. It has a chlorine foundation.
  • Alex Danvers: Each of those facilities stored confiscated DDT, which is a chlorine pesticide.
  • Hank Henshaw: Well, if he's not building a weapon, what does he need DDT for?
  • Alex Danvers: He's eating it.
  • Agent Hartmann: Right. Given his home planet's atmospheric conditions, DDT would be the closest thing on Earth he could find to food.
  • Alex Danvers: Since DDT was banned, the government has been destroying remaining stockpiles. His food souce is shrinking.
  • Hank Henshaw: Well, if this thing is hungry, let's buy him some dinner.
  • Hank Henshaw: There's been an incident. Your sister's been abducted.
  • Supergirl: [arriving at the DEO] I should have been there. If I was there... you trusted me! Instead of putting me through your tests, I could have stopped this.
  • Hank Henshaw: Or maybe you'd be captured and dead, too.
  • Supergirl: I know to you she's just an agent, but to me, she's my family. Does that mean anything to you? Do you have a family?
  • Hank Henshaw: I did. Look... we have every satellite and tactical drone up in the air, searching this whole city for her.
  • Supergirl: And now you have me, too.
  • Alex Danvers: Director Henshaw, thank you for helping me set up that room.
  • Hank Henshaw: It's the least I could do. It's for Supergirl.
  • Alex Danvers: I won't tell you her you called her that.
  • Hank Henshaw: I'd appreciate it.
  • Hank Henshaw: [as Supergirl kneels next to the dead body] What is she doing here?
  • Alex Danvers: I called her, Sir. We have aliens. She is one. It's a resource we didn't have before.
  • Supergirl: What can I do to help?
  • Hank Henshaw: Don't cause any oil spills.
