Mehcad Brooks: James Olsen

Quotes 

• James Olsen : You realize you have two donuts in your hands, and that those don't even go together?

  Kara Danvers : Do I?

  James Olsen : Yeah.

  Kara Danvers : [putting them down]  Okay. I may be eating my feelings.

• Kara Danvers : It's Alex. I thought we were good after the mind wipe, but I was wrong. The way she spoke to me last night, to Supergirl... she was so cold.

  James Olsen : She doesn't know that you're Supergirl.

  Kara Danvers : I know. Didn't realize how much it would hurt. I mean, not knowing that my favorite movie is "The Wizard of Oz"? Eliza thought that I would relate to the adventures of a young girl being lost in a faraway land. It was... it was my favorite movie, because I was from a different planet. And now, Alex doesn't know that. Not anymore.

  James Olsen : Yeah. It's gotta be tough. I'm sorry. That must be really hard for you.

  Kara Danvers : What if the mind wipe has consequences that we didn't anticipate?

  James Olsen : You can't think that way. Look, maybe the best course of action right now is to throw yourself into your work and just take your mind off of it.

• 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.

• Mackenzie : Mr. Olsen, I wanted to pitch you a story, but it's, um...

  James Olsen : [gesturing for her to sit down]  Please.

  Mackenzie : It's kind of sensitive.

  James Olsen : Yeah, no worries.

  Mackenzie : It's about L-Corp and Ms. Luthor. My source in the accouting department found a glitch in their numbers. Caught rumors of a black budget; he thinks it has to do with genetic testing.

  James Olsen : Genetic testing isn't illegal.

  Mackenzie : If it wasn't shady, why would they keep it off the books? So, can I follow the money?

  James Olsen : Yeah. But send me what you have first. I want to vet it.

• James Olsen : What's that?

  Lena Luthor : Game night training.

  [he laughs] 

  Lena Luthor : What? Okay, listen, some couples need to work on their communication skills, and others need to work on their competitive trivia skills. You and I are deeply connected, Mr. Olsen. We just need our game night performance to reflect that.

  James Olsen : And you hate to lose.

  Lena Luthor : And I hate to lose.
