Quotes
-
J'onn J'onzz : [watching Nia in a dream-state] Does it usually take this long?
Kara Danvers : The dreaming? Her handling of the dreamscape is getting faster, but the Elite could be anywhere.
J'onn J'onzz : Have you told her she doesn't have to wear the suit in private?
Kara Danvers : It's just a phase. I did the same thing when I became Supergirl. I practically slept in my suit. And, I mean, let's face it. The suits are pretty cool.
-
Alex Danvers : [venting about Lockwood's protection detail] I don't know what I should do. Especially when I should be out there tracking down Manchester and the Elite, who I'm pretty sure are still targeting him.
Kara Danvers : Well, I'm sure Supergirl will find them, and before that rally, so you don't have to worry about Lockwood.
Alex Danvers : Yeah, but how can I, with a clear conscience, protect a man who is causing so much pain in the world?
Kara Danvers : You're a hero, Alex. Heroes make tough decisions.
Alex Danvers : Well, that's not very helpful.
Kara Danvers : I mean, well, it's your job, right?
Alex Danvers : Right.
Kara Danvers : You keep people safe. And like it or not, protecting Lockwood at that rally will keep all of those people safe. Human and aliens.
Alex Danvers : [sighing in disgust] Ugh.
Kara Danvers : I thought that was good advice. I don't know.
Alex Danvers : Well, it is. It is. It's just exactly what Haley said.
-
Alex Danvers : [offering Kara dinner] Join me.
Kara Danvers : I can't. I have a deadline.
[snickering as Alex's face falls]
Kara Danvers : Okay, fine. But I call the potstickers.
Alex Danvers : What?
Kara Danvers : All of them.
Alex Danvers : No!
Kara Danvers : Mm-hmm.
Alex Danvers : That's ridiculous.
Kara Danvers : Uh-uh.
-
J'onn J'onzz : Where are the Elite?
Menagerie : Like I'd tell you.
Dreamer : [conjuring an energy ball] Tell us or eat this.
Supergirl : Hey, Dreamer. Easy.
Dreamer : I thought that you said being a superhero was about showing strength.
Supergirl : Well, I meant more "hands on hips", not "screaming in face".
Dreamer : Gotcha.
-
Kara Danvers : I circled the Earth twice east to west.
J'onn J'onzz : North to south for me. And?
Kara Danvers : No sign of the Elite anywhere. I should have dealt with this Manchester business when I had the chance.
J'onn J'onzz : You brought him to the police. What more could you have done?
Kara Danvers : Now the Elite are as bad as Lockwood and his Liberty fanatics. Look, all that matters now is that we find them and we end this.
Dreamer : A classic superhero speech. Just, first, we should really do something about Menagerie. There's only so much footwear advice I can take.
Menagerie : Gucci all day and Prada all night.
-
Kara Danvers : J'onn, the Elite really seem to be getting to you. What's wrong?
J'onn J'onzz : Manchester brings out feelings in me that I haven't felt in a very long time. I don't like feeling like this. Like I could... lose control. And I just don't know where it's coming from.
Kara Danvers : We all have people that push our buttons, J'onn. It's natural.
J'onn J'onzz : Yeah. Manchester gets under my skin.
Kara Danvers : Well, good thing Martians have thick skin.
-
Ben Lockwood : Listen, I, uh, don't really want to talk about the Elite or their assassination attempt on me last night. Instead, I would like to discuss with you what I was prevented from announcing. My drive to repeal the Alien Amnesty Act. Because, for too long, alien criminals have come down to this planet, and they have been given amnesty. They've been given protection, when we are the ones that need protecting. We are the ones who have been suffering, not them. With the repeal of the Alien Amnesty Act, I propose that we send these invaders back to the planets that they came from, allowing us to finally live in peace. I would like to invite you to a rally tomorrow in the main concourse of this very building, where I will share with you what I intend to share with Congress.
Kara Danvers : [watching on TV] He can't do that. Tell me Ben Lockwood cannot repeal a congressional act.
J'onn J'onzz : No, but he can try and sway the will of the people.
Kara Danvers : Well, he's just begging the Elite to take another whack at him.
J'onn J'onzz : Which is why we have to find them before his rally. If only we knew where to look.
Dreamer : [waking up] The balcony. Across from the Alien Affairs building.
Kara Danvers : The same place as last night?
Dreamer : I saw it in my dream. And returning to the scene of the crime is a classic bad guy move.
-
J'onn J'onzz : Damn it.
Supergirl : Dreamer said they'd be here.
J'onn J'onzz : Dreams are interpretive. Maybe something about them is here.
Supergirl : [spotting something with her x-ray vision] Part of them is.
[picking up a broken claw]
Supergirl : Ugh.
J'onn J'onzz : A Morae's claw.
Supergirl : You can use that to track the Morae psychically, right?
J'onn J'onzz : Yeah.
-
Kara Danvers : You texted me. What was so important?
Alex Danvers : I am going to kill Ben Lockwood.
Kara Danvers : That... that was the emergency?
Alex Danvers : Emotional emergency, yeah. I hate him.
Kara Danvers : Well, you and a lot of people.
Alex Danvers : Not "a lot of people" have just been put in charge of his security. I was.
Kara Danvers : What?
Alex Danvers : Yep. By order of the president.
-
Manchester Black : Something tells me the thing we're looking for is right around this corner.
J'onn J'onzz : [entering behind him] Manchester! It's over!
[they fly away in combat; elsewhere, Supergirl uses her freeze breath to render the Morae visible]
Dreamer : [conjuring an energy ball] Yield or die.
Supergirl : Just take it down to, like, a... a seven.
Dreamer : Yield or else.
-
J'onn J'onzz : Still can't believe it.
[Kara hands him a cup of coffee]
J'onn J'onzz : Thank you. He just ran straight into the room. He wouldn't stop.
Dreamer : What was in there?
Kara Danvers : A baby sun-eater. Kal's. It feeds on the chemical mass of small stars, so it's basically a living bomb.
-
J'onn J'onzz : It's strange. I've always been able to sense Manchester, feel his rage, his anger, but... I can't anymore. It's almost like a weight has been lifted. I almost feel...
Dreamer : Relieved?
[J'onn is surprised]
Dreamer : Sometimes we don't realize the impact people have had on us until they're gone, for good or bad.
J'onn J'onzz : Thank you. Both of you. Maybe now he can find some peace. Still, the Hat's out there, and we have a job to do. I may not have a totem, but I can still try searching for him psychically.
Dreamer : What about us?
Kara Danvers : We monitor the news and see if anything pops up.
-
Querl Dox : It's the march today, isn't it? Will you all be joining?
J'onn J'onzz : You know, I think we could all use some peaceful protest today. Yeah, I'll be there.
Querl Dox : Wonderful. Kara? Nia? Uh, Dreamer?
Kara Danvers : Uh, yes, I think we should definitely be there.
Querl Dox : Huzzah!
Kara Danvers : To patrol.
Querl Dox : What?
Dreamer : [he turns to look at her] Dreamer stands with Supergirl. Just gotta stretch first.
-
Querl Dox : I think it would mean a lot to have Supergirl march today.
Kara Danvers : I wish I could, Brainy, but I think it's more important for me to patrol in case anything gets out of hand.
Querl Dox : They won't. I am AmericanAlien. Hashtag AmericanAlien.
Kara Danvers : You... you organized it?
Querl Dox : When I lost my Legion ring, I realized how much I depended on it for strength and confidence. I thought it's what made me a hero. But not having it these past few days has made me see it wasn't my ring that gave me strength. It was fighting alongside all of you, helping to make the Earth a better place. In times like this, change won't come from someone with a ring or a cape. It'll only come when each one of us answers the call to stand up and be heard. El mayarah. Stronger together.
[glancing at Nia stretching]
Querl Dox : Just because we're superheroes doesn't mean we forget who we are.
Kara Danvers : I'm sorry, Brainy. The risk is too great.
Dreamer : Ready.
Querl Dox : Supergirl may be a symbol, but more importantly, she's a citizen of Earth, like the rest of us. Remember that.
-
Supergirl : What are you doing here?
Quentin : We're here to show our support for the repeal of Alien Amnesty.
Supergirl : But that amnesty is what gives these aliens their rights.
Quentin : Why should they get any rights? They're just here to hurt us.
Supergirl : They're not... look at them. They're not here to hurt anyone. They... most of them are fleeing war and violence, just like I did when I first came to Earth.
Quentin : They're not like you. You're a superhero.
Supergirl : No, you're wrong. I am just like them.
-
Ben Lockwood : Amnesty is not the same thing as empathy. Allowing these aliens to come to our world is not an act of kindness. It is an act of species-wide self-sabotage. If we do not repeal the Alien Amnesty Act, they will not be our undoing. We will have done that to ourselves!
[seeing the alien protestors approaching]
Ben Lockwood : You see? Right there. Us or them!
[the crowd starts chanting "us or them"]
Ben Lockwood : What are they doing? They have come to take your planet from you. Well, today... today we say no! Today, we take our planet back from them!
Querl Dox : [a bottle is thrown at the protestors] Stay peaceful.
Supergirl : Don't stoop to his level.
Ben Lockwood : Us or them!
Alex Danvers : [ushering him away] We need to get you off the stage now.
Ben Lockwood : Where's the threat?
Alex Danvers : You are the threat.
