Crisis on Infinite Earths: Part One (2019)

Katie McGrath: Lena Luthor

Quotes 

• Lena Luthor : Are you here to arrest me during the apocalypse, or to try and kill me because you weren't successful the other day?

  Alex Danvers : I wasn't trying to hurt you, Lena. I was trying to stop you from using Myriad.

  Lena Luthor : Right. Is that why you had a Claymore satellite aimed at me? And I didn't use Myriad, that was Eve Teschmacher.

  Alex Danvers : You and I both know that that isn't true.

  [the ground rumbles] 

  Alex Danvers : The reason the sky is red, and the planet feels like it's falling apart is because it is. There is an anti-matter wave that is tearing through the universe right now, and it will destroy Earth if Kara and the other heroes don't stop it. Now, I am working with J'onn to hedge our bets and mount an evacuation, but in order to do that... we need your help. Look, I am sorry that I lied to you. And not just me, and not just Kara. It was all of us. J'onn and Brainy and Nia.

  Lena Luthor : You know, you actually had me believe that you hated Supergirl.

  Alex Danvers : I wasn't pretending about that. And that is a... long story. Listen, I... I know that you feel burned by us. And that there is nothing that I can say in this moment that is gonna change that. But if you could please just put your feelings aside, J'onn and I really, really need your help.

  Lena Luthor : I don't want your apology, Alex. 'Cause you will never again have my friendship or my trust. I've learned my lesson from all of you. But if the world is at stake, then of course I'll help. It is hubris of you to think that I wouldn't, but then, you've made it perfectly clear how little you've thought of me these last few years, so... what do you need me to do?

• Alex Danvers : You almost got it?

  Lena Luthor : Almost done, I think. Yes! Systems are a go. Calculating destination... destination set.

  [sighing in relief] 

  Lena Luthor : Smart call with Galleon's theory.

  Alex Danvers : Oh, lucky guess. But you're the real genius here, so...

  Lena Luthor : Don't mistake us working together for friendship. I told you before, Kara and you showed me who you were, and I accept that. Now let's go help these people get on these ships.

• Alex Danvers : The quantum tower is keeping the wave at bay. Supergirl is...

  [a light sparks as the ground rumbles] 

  Alex Danvers : ...fighting really hard to protect it, but we've got to get this portal up and running.

  Lena Luthor : I'm trying, but the transmat portal works by synthesizing polyelectronic anions. And if I don't get the energy levels right when I interface with the breach device, then the ships will disintegrate when they fly right through it.

  Alex Danvers : Right. That is not a good option.

  Lena Luthor : No.

  Alex Danvers : Have you thought about using an inverse variable to calculate the differential? Galleon's theory.

  Lena Luthor : That's smart. An inverse beta-decay to figure constituent quark, that could work.

  [with another rumble, Alex pulls her out of the way of falling debris] 

  Lena Luthor : Thanks.
