Quotes 

• J'onn J'onzz : Thank you for going with Supergirl and allowing me to stay with my father.

  Mon-El : Oh, yeah, of course.

  J'onn J'onzz : Although I sense there's more to your decision than just the mission to stop Reign.

  Mon-El : Yeah, well, I spoke to Imra, and it turns out despite all of my attempts to bury my feelings, it was pretty transparent for her, so she told me to come back here and sort it out. And all I wanna do is just tell Kara exactly how I feel. 'Cause I don't wanna keep secrets.

  J'onn J'onzz : Telling her might make you feel better, but I think it would be selfish.

  Mon-El : Yeah, I know.

  J'onn J'onzz : You grew older in the future, but you also grew wiser.

• Supergirl : Have you started?

  Lena Luthor : No. The rock you brought us was drained of all its power.

  Winn Schott : Yeah, it all went to Olivia's transformation.

  J'onn J'onzz : How come the two of you don't seem too devastated by that news?

  Winn Schott : Because Ms. Luthor and I very intelligently recorded the radiation signature of the sacred stone during the cult's ritual. And with a little scan of the heavens, the heavens obliged.

  [showing them a computer monitor] 

  Winn Schott : Now, it is very rare, but the exact same rock is hurtling through space on a meteorite about five light-years away.

  Supergirl : J'onn, can your ship make it that far?

  J'onn J'onzz : Tuned up the FTL drive a couple of weeks ago. I could go with you.

  Supergirl : No, no, you have to stay with your father.

  Mon-El : I'll go. The Yuda Kal rock seems to have some kind of effect on Supergirl, but I can handle it fine.

• J'onn J'onzz : Some light reading?

  Alex Danvers : Yeah. I'm just trying to figure out how to reach Ruby. You know, I mean, I lost my dad as a teenager, so I figured "Hey, I should be a natural at helping her get through this whole ordeal with her mom." But nothing I have tried is working. So I bought every book that I could find on helping kids deal with trauma.

  J'onn J'onzz : I'd imagine none of those books have chapters on what to do when your mother's a Worldkiller who tried to murder you.

  Alex Danvers : Mm. Yeah, they left that one out.

• Alex Danvers : [worried about Ruby]  She's been in her pajamas for over a week, and she hasn't even left the apartment.

  J'onn J'onzz : I know all about that.

  [sighing as he sits down] 

  J'onn J'onzz : All about that. My father is growing more and more withdrawn, and instransigent. I mean, he still has his good days, you know? Unfortunately, those days are few and far between.

  Alex Danvers : Mm. I'm sorry, J'onn.

  J'onn J'onzz : I just wish there was some way I could slow down the illness, you know? I mean, now that he's wearing that psychic inhibitor, his brain is almost identical to that of a human. I've been doing some research on the plasticity of the brain. You know, studies apparently show that playing three-dimensional video games actually could reverse the decline.

  Alex Danvers : Sounds like you should take him to the arcade.

• M'yrnn J'onzz : Where is the arcade?

  J'onn J'onzz : It's right there, Father.

  M'yrnn J'onzz : Do you think I'm a fool? The arcade is a high form of architecture of ancient Rome. Archways resting on columns. Where are the shops? The marketplace?

  J'onn J'onzz : Uh, this is a different kind of arcade, dad.

• Alex Danvers : [after an incident with M'yrnn at the arcade]  This was a bad idea. A very bad idea. I'm sorry.

  J'onn J'onzz : I should've known the stimulation would be too much.

  Alex Danvers : I am burning those books.

• Winn Schott : [seeing Reign free from her restraints]  She's out of bed. She-she broke the chains.

  Supergirl : How'd she do that? The kryptonite's supposed to keep her weak.

  Lena Luthor : Her-her body's adapting, like Pestilence to the anti-virus. She's becoming immune.

  J'onn J'onzz : How long 'till you won't be able to keep her contained?

  Lena Luthor : I don't know. A couple of days.

  Mon-El : Then we better get a move-on.
