Quotes 

• James Olsen : What's going on?

  Winn Schott : No, it's just ironic. After twenty years, I finally make peace with my mom and then I get infected by Pestilence.

  James Olsen : You're gonna get better.

  Winn Schott : [as they talk, they both try to fight back tears]  Maybe. Dude, I-I was attacked by a Worldkiller. There's no cure.

  James Olsen : Hey, don't-don't-don't go there. Winn, you cannot think like that, brother.

  James Olsen : It's just... this is just making me reflect on my life. Hey, you know what? After we re-connected, my mom and I, I hadn't realized, like, so much of my baggage was tied into her abandoning me. Like, all my life I never felt like I deserved anything. But you know what? I have done great despite circumstances. I made some true friendships. That has been the best part of my life. And now I can finally let myself imagine what I'd do if I could do anything. Like, if I could really be anything. Like, I could be the next Steve Jobs. Or I could make a rocket for NASA. I can build human transportation to another planet, show Elon Musk how it's done. Like, I could. Like, I'm-I'm ready. And I think it might be too late.

  James Olsen : You are gonna do everything that you want.

• James Olsen : How you doing, buddy?

  Winn Schott : You should be at CatCo.

  James Olsen : It's called delegation. I've got every reporter in the building working on this. Which... which actually reminds me, the city is pretty panicked about this. So if you have any information I can disseminate, that would be helpful.

  J'onn J'onzz : Doses of the cure are on their way to all the hospitals.

  Supergirl : And the Worldkiller is still MIA.

  James Olsen : Yeah, but now that Winn is infected, doesn't that give us another lead?

  Brainiac-5 : Yes. The scratch on your hand seems to be the point of infection.

  Alex Danvers : [slapping his hand away]  Don't touch that.

• J'onn J'onzz : What happened?

  Brainiac-5 : [muttering to himself]  Oh, yes, there it is. I see it now. The cure is designed to cure victims of the Blight. But because Pestilence is not technically the Blight but the forebearer of it, the cure we have needs to be modified to fight her particular strand of virus.

  James Olsen : So how do we do that?

  Mon-El : We need a piece of Pestilence's DNA.

  Supergirl : So if we can't find her, more people could get infected, and the people that are already infected...

  Brainiac-5 : Yes, finding her as soon as humanly or non-humanly possible would be...

  Supergirl : [Alex groans and collapses]  No.

  J'onn J'onzz : Alex!

  Supergirl : No, no, no! Alex. Alex!

  Brainiac-5 : ...imperative.

• Lena Luthor : James, this really isn't a good time.

  James Olsen : Winn and Alex are sick.

  Lena Luthor : I'm so sorry.

  James Olsen : Lena, you have the largest pharmaceutical company in the country. I-I really need you to put your people on this.

  Lena Luthor : I'm already working on it.

  James Olsen : [surprised]  You are?

  Lena Luthor : Yeah.

  James Olsen : Well, that-that's great news, right? Have you told Supergirl?

  Lena Luthor : Listen, I-I can't really say anything, and-and please don't say anything to her. I don't want to overpromise, but... I'm really close to a breakthrough. I'm really sorry I can't be there with you.

  James Olsen : Yeah, it's just, uh... it's just tough being here with him like this and not being able to do anything.
