Quotes 

• Kara Danvers : And I know, I know, sometimes being the good guy sucks. Especially when you know how easy it would be to get rid of someone so vile and full of hate. But, hey, not doing that... that is what makes us different from them. That's what lets us keep protecting people.

• Supergirl : [hovering, speaking down to Dreamer after her victory over the alien monster]  That was incredible! You beat my record for defeating a Dominator.

  Dreamer : Well, you warmed him up for me. Don't you have a date to get to? Go! Get out of here. I want pictures.

• News Reporter : After a productive dinner with Crown Prince Raakaan el-Farah, philanthropist Lex Luthor announced that Obsidian Platinum's VR lenses will soon be available in Quarac.

  Kara Danvers : [turning the TV off]  Gross.

  Alex Danvers : Well, don't book your trip to Bali just yet. We still have to deal with Lex.

  Kara Danvers : And we will. We will stop him and get him out of the DEO and we'll get you back in there where you belong. You miss it, don't you?

  Alex Danvers : Well, I mean, I like to think that the DEO misses me. But, yeah. Yeah, I miss it.

• Kara Danvers : Are you okay? Is... is Yvette? Why didn't you call me last night? I would have been there...

  Nia Nal : Yvette wanted to be alone. She's not just hurt and humiliated, she's heartbroken. She thought this guy really liked her. And he was just targeting her because she was trans. He was trying to use her to get to Dreamer.

  Kara Danvers : What did he want with Dreamer?

  Nia Nal : He wants me to stop being a superhero. He's going after my community to bully me into it.

  Kara Danvers : Listen to me, Nia, listen. We will find this guy.

  Nia Nal : Yeah, we will. And when we do, I'll bury him.

• William Dey : So, you've never played 8-Ball?

  Kara Danvers : What? Are you kidding me? I'm from Midvale. We have pool halls on every corner, okay?

  William Dey : Okay.

  Kara Danvers : Okay, fine.

  [he laughs] 

  Kara Danvers : Maybe I've only played it once in my life.

  William Dey : Okay, well, then we'll take it one shot at a time. For you.

  Kara Danvers : Oh, 'cause you're such a pool shark?

  William Dey : Oh, yeah. I'm not that bad.

  Kara Danvers : All right. All right. Let's just take it nice and soft.

  [she breaks and knocks all the balls into the pockets] 

  Kara Danvers : [snickering at his look of stunned surprise]  Beginner's luck?

• Alex Danvers : Hey. What's the emergency?

  Kara Danvers : [holding up two shirts]  Blue or purple?

  Alex Danvers : [realizing]  Oh, your date with William is tonight.

  Kara Danvers : Yes. Cancel it for me?

  Alex Danvers : No, I will not. And, blue. Always go with the blue. You know this.

• Kara Danvers : Is that that Martian weapon J'onn gave you? What do you call it, the Hand of the Soldier?

  Alex Danvers : Yeah.

  Kara Danvers : How's training?

  Alex Danvers : You wanna see?

  Kara Danvers : [a little wary]  Yeah.

  Alex Danvers : [conjuring her gun]  Right?

  Kara Danvers : Mm-hmm.

  Alex Danvers : [trying again, getting stung by electricity]  Ow! God, this... this thing is supposed to know what I'm thinking, but it's being very stubborn.

  Kara Danvers : Well, like soldier, like hand.

  Alex Danvers : [flicking her wrist]  Bzzt!

  Kara Danvers : [recoiling]  Ahh! Don't scare me!

• Kara Danvers : I know this is a personal attack, but you have to trust that when we find the guy, the cops are gonna put him behind bars.

  Nia Nal : Kara, I love you, but do not tell me what I can and can't do right now. There is no catching this guy and redeeming him. There is no hope speech that can make this better.

  Kara Danvers : Nia...

  Nia Nal : No. Look, my community is vulnerable. This happens more than you could possibly know. And there are guys just like this jerk out there who want to hurt us. They want us to hide and to be afraid to be who we are. They want us to disappear, and it happens every day.

  Kara Danvers : I know, and what this guy did is horrible...

  Nia Nal : He's not the first, and he won't be the last. And we haven't exactly been a priority for the cops. So just trust me when I say that I am the one protecting this community. And now this bastard is going after my community, trying to erase me? No. No, this guy is over.

  Kara Danvers : Look, I-I know that you're hurting right now, and that I will never fully understand. But between us and the cops, we will make sure justice is served. Nia, just give us a chance.

  Nia Nal : Fine. A few hours. But then, I'm doing this my way.

• Kara Danvers : It's been two and a half years since I went on a date. What if I... forgot how to do it?

  Alex Danvers : You smile, and you laugh, and you reach for the check.

  Kara Danvers : You make it sound so easy.

  Alex Danvers : Well...

  Kara Danvers : By the way, you should have seen Nia today. She was on fire.

  Alex Danvers : Yeah, I did. I mean, she was all over YouTube and the news, and every other platform I've never heard of.

  Kara Danvers : I'm just so proud of her. And you know what? It just feels so good to know that if I want to take a night off, there's someone there that can save the day.

• Querl Dox : I hope this is important. I'm very busy.

  Kara Danvers : It is. It's about...

  [clearing her throat] 

  Kara Danvers : Dreamer.

  Querl Dox : Yes. I just saw the coverage of her victory over the Dominator.

  Kara Danvers : No, it's not that. She needs our help. There's an attacker targeting the trans community trying to get Dreamer to take her cape off.

  Querl Dox : That... that's awful. I mean, it... it is only logical that violence begets concern.

  Kara Danvers : Listen, I know this guy's human, but can you help me track him?

  Querl Dox : Consider it done.
