Quotes 

• Alex Danvers : [noticing somebody following her]  Okay, I'll tell you what. Why don't I pay for all these things?

  [taking the hat off Ruby's head] 

  Alex Danvers : Give me that. And then you go get us some sodas. All right.

  [handing Ruby some money] 

  Alex Danvers : [as she leaves]  Don't think I'm not gonna count all that change.

• Ruby Arias : I could definitely be an astronaut.

  Alex Danvers : Mm. I could see that. You know, once you get past your motion-sickness thing, I think you'll be golden.

  Ruby Arias : That's funny. 'Cause I never got motion sickness until you started driving me around.

• Alex Danvers : Someone's trying to kill me.

  Winn Schott : Oh, things are not chill.

  J'onn J'onzz : You sure you were the target?

  Alex Danvers : A hundred percent. Guys, this is really bad. Okay? I can't have some psycho who's trying to murder me out there on the loose while I'm taking care of Ruby. I mean, she's been through so much. She's seen so much. And god forbid, what if she got hurt? And it's on my watch. I-I... I can't live with that.

• J'onn J'onzz : Who would want you dead?

  Winn Schott : Where do we start? Okay, well, there's Griggs, uh... the Hellgrammite, Hannibal. I mean...

  Alex Danvers : Look, the Hellgrammite and Griggs have been in containment. So that's a no.

  J'onn J'onzz : Hannibal, we deported after the Daxamite invasion.

  Winn Schott : Right.

  Alex Danvers : Okay, so let's just keep narrowing it down.

• Alex Danvers : Who else has tried to kill me before and failed?

  Winn Schott : What about good ol' Ricky, huh?

  [showing a picture of Rick Malverne] 

  Winn Schott : He definitely hates you.

  J'onn J'onzz : Oh, hated. I mind-wiped him, remember?

  Winn Schott : Oh.

  J'onn J'onzz : But we shouldn't discount people from your past, if this really is personal. It may be someone from before your time at the DEO. Somebody who may have threatened you before.

• Alex Danvers : Pull up Ron Collins.

  Winn Schott : Ronald Collins. Let's see. Age 56. Recently made parole after... six failed attempts. Wow. Uh, let's see. He was in for...

  Alex Danvers : First-degree murder. I should know. He was my first arrest.

  Winn Schott : I'm sorry, that would have... that would have made you seventeen when you arrested him.

  [seeing her look] 

  Winn Schott : Yeah, that... that tracks.

  Alex Danvers : He lived his whole life in Midvale, and then he moves to National City after he was released from prison?

  Winn Schott : Eh, it's a big city.

  J'onn J'onzz : And yet he moved to within six blocks of your apartment.

  Alex Danvers : Okay, I ruined his life. He's trying to ruin mine. That's him.

• Alex Danvers : Winn, about Ruby...

  Winn Schott : [getting what she's asking]  No! No, I can't. No, I do not babysit anymore.

  Alex Danvers : She's twelve, okay? She's not a baby. So, it's just... you know, your words. Chill, it'll be fine.

  J'onn J'onzz : It takes a village, Agent Schott.

• Alex Danvers : You know, when you first approached me about working at the DEO, I was failing med school, I was drunk, and I was completely lost. But you, J'onn, you gave me purpose. You know, something to stand up for, something to devote my life to. But today, I risked my life for it. You know, I jumped straight across without hesitating, without even thinking. And to be honest, I mean, that wasn't even the tallest building that I have jumped off of in the line of duty.

  J'onn J'onzz : You are someone who makes the hard choices, Alex. You go the extra mile.

  Alex Danvers : Yeah, exactly. And that's who I am. It's just baked into me. You know, jumping buildings, making enemies. That's all part of the job. But the irony here is... is that the thing that I had to do to save myself is the very same thing that could have killed me. I mean, one more inch, and I would have died. And then...

  [indicating Ruby inside with Winn] 

  Alex Danvers : ...where would she be? I broke up with Maggie because I wanted to be a mother. And one day, I will be. You know, whether I'm with somebody or if I'm doing it by myself. I know that's what I want. And I know that that is who I am. Just like I know that I'm the person that's gonna jump the building to stop the bad guy. And I... I keep wondering. I mean, can those two people co-exist? And is that fair? Is it fair to the person that I'm coming home to?

  J'onn J'onzz : Hey, come on.

  [he takes her hand as a gesture of comfort] 

  J'onn J'onzz : You may be the person who jumps the building to stop the bad guy, but you're also one of the most intelligent, and intuitive women I... I know. You're an incredible agent. And I know you're going to be an incredible mother. So when the time is right, I know you'll make the choice that's right for you.

• Alex Danvers : [watching a documentary about outer space]  Now, Supergirl is up there right now on a mission to find a substance that's gonna fix your mom.

  Ruby Arias : There's so much nothing. What if she doesn't make it back in time?

  Alex Danvers : She's called "Supergirl" for a reason. She will, I promise.

  [a moment of silence] 

  Alex Danvers : Hey, you know what? Why don't we get out of here? I just happen to know where there is a wicked ice cream truck. And, I mean, all the toppings.

  Ruby Arias : That's all I need right now.

  Alex Danvers : Let's do it. Me, too.

• Alex Danvers : [having fun with Ruby]  All right, look, let me see. Oh, yes, that is amazing. I am getting you that hat. You look adorable.

• Ruby Arias : [entering the DEO]  This place in intense.

  Alex Danvers : Yes. Definitely don't touch anything.

  J'onn J'onzz : Agent Danvers, Ruby, how are you?

  Ruby Arias : Oh, my gosh. It was crazy. There was this guy at the park, and he was shooting, and everyone was running, and then Alex caught a grenade.

  Alex Danvers : [downplaying]  It was really just not that big of a deal. I mean, we're fine, so everything is chill.

• Alex Danvers : Where you going, Sheriff?

  Ron Collins : Far away from you.

  Alex Danvers : That's right. That's because you prefer to shoot from a distance. Or behind the back, like a coward.

  Ron Collins : Kenny Li was a long time ago.

  Alex Danvers : I'm not talking about Kenny Li.

• Alex Danvers : You're trying to kill me.

  Ron Collins : [scoffing laugh]  Are you kidding?

  Alex Danvers : You tried to shoot me this morning at the park.

  Ron Collins : At the park? Heh, man. Are you still seventeen?

  Alex Danvers : You don't even care about the countless kids that you could've hurt trying to get to me. Then again, what's one more dead kid to you, right?

• Ron Collins : I owed a debt for what I did. I paid my debt.

  Alex Danvers : What you did was murder a teenage boy.

  Ron Collins : And I have to live with that! Forever.

  Alex Danvers : Oh, I... you want me to feel sorry for you?

  Ron Collins : Why would you? I don't even feel sorry for me. Every time I close my eyes, I see that young boy's face. The future that I stole from him. I see the blood bursting out of his body. I can feel the weight of the gun in my hands. I wasn't a good person. I was corrupt. Then I never thought of myself as a killer. Kid killer. But it turns out, I was a monster. And I deserved everything I got. But I'm not trying to kill you, Danvers. What the hell difference would that make? It's not gonna bring Kenny back. It's not gonna save me. I'm already damned.

• Alex Danvers : J'onn, it's not Collins.

  [she hangs up and climbs onto her motorcycle; nothing happens when she tries to start it] 

  Alex Danvers : Seriously?

  [hearing a click, she looks down and sees a bomb; she jumps off the bike right before the bomb explodes] 

• Alex Danvers : I was so sure it was the sheriff.

  J'onn J'onzz : We'll figure this out.

  Alex Danvers : The list of people that want me dead is endless.

  J'onn J'onzz : All the more reason to cull it.

  Alex Danvers : No, J'onn, look, you don't understand. If Sam is gone, I am all that Ruby has left. And if I'm gone... look, screw the list. If this guy wants me, he can come and get me. It's our turn to hunt.

  J'onn J'onzz : You wanna set a trap.

  Alex Danvers : Like I said, I'm already a target, right? So let's draw this guy out and take him down.

• J'onn J'onzz : [masquerading as Alex]  Is everyone in position?

  [DEO agents move into place] 

  J'onn J'onzz : I repeat, is everyone in position?

  Alex Danvers : We're good to go, J'onn.

  J'onn J'onzz : Copy that. Keep your eyes open, everybody.

• Alex Danvers : Any sign of the suspect?

  J'onn J'onzz : All's quiet down here. But I'm completely exposed, so if he's gonna strike, time's now.

  Alex Danvers : [looking around]  Come on. Where are you?

• Alex Danvers : Status check.

  J'onn J'onzz : No sign of your suspect.

  Alex Danvers : [spotting something]  Wait a minute. I think I got something. Northwest. Baseball hat.

  [the suspect turns and shoots at Alex] 

  Alex Danvers : J'onn, we're made. I think he knows that you're not me.

  J'onn J'onzz : How did he know which one of us is which?

  Alex Danvers : I don't know, but he's on the move. I'm going after him.

  J'onn J'onzz : [shapeshifting back to himself]  Wait for backup, Agent Danvers.

  [seeing her take off] 

  J'onn J'onzz : Damn it, Alex!

• Suspect : Hello, Agent Danvers. That was a neat trick with your Martian pet.

  Alex Danvers : [he takes off his sunglasses]  I recognize you.

  Suspect : Not me. My twin brother. And you should. After all, you arrested him.

  Alex Danvers : He was on Fort Rozz. He killed twelve people.

  Suspect : Lies!

  [with a burst of strength, Alex jumps up, flips over him, and takes him down] 

• J'onn J'onzz : Hey, we just finished interrogating your attacker. He's from Naja Falk 7. He was able to tell us apart with his heightened sense of smell.

  Alex Danvers : A whole list of suspects from my past, and he wasn't even on it.
