Quotes 

• President Baker : [Ben admires a pen in a glass case]  FDR's. Used it to sign the Labor Relations Act. Your dad was a union man, right?

  Ben Lockwood : Oh, yes, sir. Through and through.

• President Baker : I will not apologize for protecting my country.

  Supergirl : But that's why you have me.

  President Baker : That may have sufficed for Olivia Marsdin. Not anymore.

  Supergirl : Everyone involved in Claymore, everyone that works at that satellite base is at risk. The Elite are going to attack.

  President Baker : If I closed every military base that might be threatened, I'd have no bases left. And last I checked, I don't answer to you.

  Supergirl : Will you answer to your electorate the first time Claymore shoots down an alien ship that means us no harm? It's wrong. Innocent people will die.

  President Baker : Do not interfere with that satellite!

  Supergirl : This is a mistake, Mr. President.

• President Baker : That satellite array was created to protect Americans. Not to mention that it cost $2 billion! And now it's gone and here we are.

  Supergirl : Yes, here we are. As well as your staff, your loved ones. Thanks to me wasn't leveled by a weapon of its own government's creation.

  President Baker : Come on, you can tell me. Hmm? You hated that satellite. You're a superhero. There had to have been a way to stop Claymore without blowing it up. No, you did it because you wanted to.

  Supergirl : I assure you, sir, there was no other way.

• President Baker : I may not be able to deputize all of your Children of Liberty, but I can deputize one. How would you like to be my next Director of Alien Affairs?

  Ben Lockwood : [surprised]  What? Wow.

  President Baker : Mmm.

  Ben Lockwood : Uh...

  President Baker : We could use a man like you. A man who knows what he is.
