Quotes 

• Kara Danvers : Oh, easy. My favorite movie.

  Alex Danvers : "Center Stage".

  Kara Danvers : [insulted]  Excuse me?

  Alex Danvers : What? You spent an entire summer learning the red shoe dance. You broke three lamps. No. Okay, um... "Terminator 2". Duh.

  Kara Danvers : No, that's your favorite. Come on, Alex! Think!

  Alex Danvers : [racking her brain]  I'm totally blanking.

• Alex Danvers : Where did you grow up, Nia?

  Nia Nal : A small town up north called Parthas.

  Lena Luthor : Doesn't that mean "paradise" in Irish? It's a pretty high bar.

  Nia Nal : Paradise is an understatement. The town's not just beautiful, but aliens and humans have lived together in harmony for decades.

• Kara Danvers : Attack card.

  Alex Danvers : [playing her own]  Nope.

  Kara Danvers : No!

  [Alex cackles with laughter] 

  Kara Danvers : That's the fifth time.

  Alex Danvers : That means I win.

  [with self-congratulatory cheer] 

  Alex Danvers : Yeah!

  Querl Dox : I don't understand this game. These are not kittens, nor do they explode.

• Querl Dox : You two cannot be on the same team again.

  James Olsen : I agree. Inside jokes, shorthand from Midvale. This is an unfair advantage.

  Kara Danvers : So?

  Lena Luthor : Hey, but, you know, maybe we have an unfair advantage, too.

  James Olsen : [amused laugh]  You could be right. Greatest human invention?

  Lena Luthor : [answering simultaneously]  The electric light.

  James Olsen : Printing press.

  Alex Danvers : Oh. Fail.

• Alex Danvers : Thank you for your assistance, Supergirl. We'll take it from here.

  Supergirl : Happy to help, Alex.

  Alex Danvers : Uh... one more thing. I would really appreciate it if you would address me as Director Danvers.

  Supergirl : [taken aback]  Uh... oh. Yes, of coure, Director Danvers.

• J'onn J'onzz : Hey, Brainy.

  Querl Dox : Greetings, J'onn.

  J'onn J'onzz : I came to see how Alex was feeling. Have you seen her?

  Querl Dox : I have not. But I have located our dealers' van.

  Alex Danvers : [approaching]  Brainy, that's great.

  Querl Dox : I have also located Director Danvers. A day of many victories.

• Kara Danvers : Your hand.

  Alex Danvers : Oh. Yes. Well, that is a lovely parting gift from Supergirl. I hope your weekend was better. Oh, J'onn said you were on assignment. How did that go?

  Kara Danvers : Oh. The story I was following didn't really pan out.

  J'onn J'onzz : Hey, how about we don't actually talk about work tonight?

  Alex Danvers : Yeah.

  Kara Danvers : I could do that.

  [mimicking Arnold Schwarzenegger] 

  Kara Danvers : Now, watch the movie if you don't want to die.

  Alex Danvers : [snickering]  It's "if you want to live."

  Kara Danvers : Oh, shoot.

  Alex Danvers : [playfully throwing popcorn at her]  Oh, you goober.

• Alex Danvers : [leaving game night for work]  It's gonna be okay. There's nothing too end-the-world-y. It's just an alien brawl at NCU.

• Querl Dox : Those are not bruises. Simply toxins pulled to the surface by the Truth Seeker. Not to worry, they'll vanish soon.

  Alex Danvers : I hope so. Something just doesn't feel right.

  Querl Dox : Perhaps this will make you feel better.

  [sending a video file from his AI core to a monitor] 

  Querl Dox : I have discovered the species we apprehended last night.

  Alex Danvers : They're human?

  Querl Dox : Oh, no, not just human. Frat boys.

• Alex Danvers : We found traces of an unknown drug with traces of alien markers in your system. What is it, and where did you get it?

  Spencer : Aspirin. From a bottle.

  Josh : Man, it's the same stuff we take all the frickin' time. But this time, it... it was different.

  Alex Danvers : Different how?

  Spencer : All I felt was rage. And not the fun kind.

  Josh : They usually just make you happy.

  Spencer : Bad batch, I guess.

  Josh : Are we in trouble?

  Alex Danvers : I have you on six counts of assault, so, yeah. But if you give me the name of your dealer, maybe we can talk.

  Spencer : How about... I give you the name of my lawyer, narc?

• Querl Dox : Are you okay?

  Alex Danvers : Yeah. Uh, no. No, those idiots in there, they can't pass freshmen comp, and yet I couldn't crack them. Why?

  Querl Dox : I don't have that answer. But I do know why our Jekylls became Hydes. The substance they ingested was radicalized by 15 to the 19th powerhertz of gamma rays.

  Alex Danvers : Someone irradiated their party drug?

• Querl Dox : There are reports of two more rage attacks.

  Alex Danvers : It's spreading. We need to get more teams out there immediately.

  Querl Dox : Copy. Also, it appears these outbursts were... intentional.

  Alex Danvers : People are buying this drug on purpose? How? And why?

  [Brainy shows her a tablet] 

  Alex Danvers : I should have been ahead of this. Brainy, I'm off. Something is wrong with me. I mean, it's like something in my mind, it's missing.

• Alex Danvers : J'onn, thank you for coming.

  J'onn J'onzz : Sure. You sounded panicked on the phone. Is everything all right?

  Alex Danvers : I'm not thinking clearly, and I can't afford to be making mistakes.

  J'onn J'onzz : Well, how can I help?

  Alex Danvers : Scan me. My mind.

  J'onn J'onzz : [evasively]  Why?

  Alex Danvers : Something is wrong with me, J'onn. I-I don't know how to describe it, I just feel... disconnected. I feel vulnerable. I mean, look, what if something went wrong when I underwent the Truth Seeker? I know there's not supposed to be any side effects or anything, but that's when this began. I just need to know that I'm okay. And if I'm not okay, I just need to know that I'm not crazy. Please, J'onn.

• J'onn J'onzz : Are you ready?

  Alex Danvers : Yeah. Thanks for doing this, J'onn.

  J'onn J'onzz : All right.

  [his eyes turn red and he cups her face] 

  J'onn J'onzz : You're fine. Everything is normal.

  Alex Danvers : Really? Thank god. Okay.

  J'onn J'onzz : Perhaps the stress you're feeling at work is, uh, the lack of a partner. A good cop to your bad cop.

  Alex Danvers : Or maybe... I need the opposite of a cop. Brainy, how are your acting skills?

• J'onn J'onzz : Impressive. It took you less than two minutes to get that information.

  Alex Danvers : How did you learn to speak dude-bro?

  Querl Dox : The same way they did. The movies.

  Alex Danvers : Well, thank you. Both of you. For everything.

  J'onn J'onzz : Yeah.

  Alex Danvers : Now let's catch these guys before they can do any more damage.

• Querl Dox : At first I found no vehicle registered to our suspects, and I thought perhaps Spence was lying. Which would be so like him. But then I found this...

  [showing them his tablet] 

  Querl Dox : Originally registered to Mrs. Veronica "Roni" Miller, now deceased. The title has then passed to Roberta Miller, Jerry Miller's little sister.

  Alex Danvers : Good work. All right, let's move, people. Hey, you wanna take advantage while the cat's away and roll with? With all this rage going on, we could use a man of peace.

  J'onn J'onzz : Sure. You seem better.

  Alex Danvers : I am. Thanks to you.

• Querl Dox : I was certain this was the last confirmed location of Roberta Miller's van.

  J'onn J'onzz : I think it was. Looks like somebody already did your job for you.

  Alex Danvers : [seeing them tied up]  Jerry Miller? Kevin Huggins? You're under arrest for selling an unidentified alien substance. Search 'em.

  Kevin Huggins : No, no, you won't find anything. We were robbed.

  Alex Danvers : By who?

  Jerry : I don't know. They said something about attacking some alien festival?

  Alex Danvers : This is what I was afraid of. Brainy, take 'em in.

• Alex Danvers : Supergirl, you struck an agent of the United States military.

  Supergirl : And you were about to shoot down an innocent alien.

  Alex Danvers : I was containing a volatile alien, and you interfered.

  Supergirl : That alien was just defending his home. These... these Children of Liberty wannabes were provoking him. They attacked a peaceful memorial.

  Alex Danvers : Your word no longer works for us. And I have a job to do. That's to uncover all of the facts. And that girl, she is not a Child of Liberty, she's just a kid who took a drug to fuel her rage.

  Supergirl : Why would someone...

  Alex Danvers : Because this world is filled with a lot of people that are bigger and stronger than her. And that kind of vulnerability, it makes you angry. And when you feel powerless enough, you will do anything it takes to feel strong.

  Supergirl : I can understand that.

  Alex Danvers : Really? How? You are literally described as the Girl of Steel. On the outside and the in.

  Supergirl : [stung]  You really think I don't know what it feels like to be vulnerable?

  Alex Danvers : No, I don't. Now you either stand down or I will arrest you, too.

• Alex Danvers : Now this is exactly what I need. After the weekend I've had, all I want to do is spend some time and relax with my two favorite people and the greatest movie of all time.

  Kara Danvers : I'm not sure "The Terminator" is relaxing, but okay.

  Alex Danvers : Uh, "T2". And it's comfort food.

• Kara Danvers , Alex Danvers : Danvers sisters, yes, we can! If you can't do it, Danvers can!
