Kara Danvers : I figured it would be nice to get her away from everything for a couple days.

[sighs]

Eliza Danvers : Did you not finish your calculus last night?
Young Alex : No, I'm just double-checking my work.
Eliza Danvers : [Kara enters] Good morning, sweetheart.
Young Kara : Good morning, Eliza.
[to Alex]
Young Kara : It's kind of ironically called "advanced placement". On Krypton, we did calculus from age four.
Young Alex : Sorry we can't all be as sophisticated as Kryptonians.
Eliza Danvers : Alex.
[to Kara]
Eliza Danvers : Math and science still fun?
Young Kara : I don't know about "fun". They're easy.

Young Kara : I don't understand why I have to endure these classes. It's not like I need to know who did what in 1743 to be a...
Young Alex : A superhero?
Young Kara : Shut up.
Eliza Danvers : You need to go to school and be with kids your own age. It's giving you a chance at a normal childhood.
Young Kara : Normal for humans. I'm literally bulletproof.
Eliza Danvers : And you literally need to be educated. By the way, I'm working late at the lab tonight. Alex, I need you to babysit.

Young Alex : She doesn't need a babysitter.

Eliza Danvers : Alex, do your homework. Kara, come with me.
Young Kara : I... I had to do something. I couldn't let Mr. Bernard get away with it.
Eliza Danvers : You could have been discovered. Alex could have died.
Young Kara : I'm sorry.
Eliza Danvers : I have been trying to tell you, it is not your job to protect people. You are just a kid. And since you won't listen to me, maybe you'll listen to her.

Young Kara : Mom?
