Quotes 

• Kara Danvers : My cousin worked with a vigilante once. Tons of gadgets, lots of demons. Vigilantes are nuts.

• Alex Danvers : So, where's Mon-El? I mean, doesn't he practically live in this place?

  Kara Danvers : Oh, knowing him? He's probably at Darla's apartment or Eve's apartment or with that blond Valeronian. What's the word for a male floozy?

  Alex Danvers : A Daxamite.

  Kara Danvers : Ha!

  [toasts with beer bottle] 

  Kara Danvers : Well, at least he's having fun on Earth.

• Supergirl : You're Hank Henshaw. The real Hank Henshaw. You survived?

  Cyborg Superman : Yes, I survived. But that alien, that thing from Mars stole my life. It took everything from me. But Cadmus saved me.

  Supergirl : And now you work for them?

  Cyborg Superman : When I ran the DEO, we hunted aliens. Cadmus has inherited that glorious purpose. To end alien life on this planet.

  Supergirl : Good luck with that.

  [she punches him] 

  Cyborg Superman : My turn.

• Winn Schott : You know, that a place that caters for aliens, they have some pretty good chicken wings.

  Kara Danvers : How do you know that's chicken?

• Lillian Luthor : Supergirl. I don't believe we've been introduced.

  Supergirl : I've seen you before in Lena Luthor's office. What were you doing there?

  Lillian Luthor : I might ask you the same. I don't like the idea of you around my daughter.

  Supergirl : You're Lillian Luthor. Lex and Lena's mother.

  Lillian Luthor : I'm a lot of things. A doctor, a patriot, a mother...

  Supergirl : A liar, a kidnapper, a killer. Does Lena know about Cadmus? Does she know who her mother really is?

  Lillian Luthor : And what are you to my daughter?

  Supergirl : I'm a friend.

  Lillian Luthor : I've heard that before. Years ago, Superman came to my son, Lex, and promised him the world. A new dawn for mankind. Lex believed him, poor thing. And then he watched as your kinsman infected this country with his propaganda, as his power became unchecked. And when Lex tried to take that power back, Superman convinced the world that Lex was evil. My darling boy. My genius son. An actual Superman, behind bars for life. Because you and your kind will stop at nothing to poison the Earth.

  Supergirl : You're out of your mind.

  Lillian Luthor : We'll agree to disagree.

• Supergirl : Why are you doing this?

  Cyborg Superman : Because it's time for you to die. You and the rest of alien scum have no place on this planet.

• Supergirl : So, what am I doing here?

  Lillian Luthor : I need something from you. I need you to be human for a little while. I know from your fight with Red Tornado when you expel enough of your heat vision, you deplete the solar radiation in your cells, leaving you as helpless as any mere mortal. I designed this helmet to absorb the radiation.

  Supergirl : You want me to solar flare? That's never gonna happen.

  Lillian Luthor : I can't hurt you. But I can hurt him.

  [shoots Mon-El in his leg] 

  Supergirl : No! Mon-El!

  Lillian Luthor : Now we've been studying your friend. He's powerful, but has a very bad lead allergy. Say you'll do it and I'll let him live. Or I could just put one in his heart right now.

  Supergirl : No! Okay, okay! I'll do it! Stop!

  Mon-El : Please, don't.

  Supergirl : I'm not gonna let you die. Give me the helmet.

• Supergirl : When I got to Earth, I saw my parents everywhere. I was in my room one night. I remember looking up at the stars, and feeling

  [soft sigh] 

  Supergirl : alone. I started to cry. And Eliza came in my room, and I yelled at her to get out.

  J'onn J'onzz : Yelled?

  [shakes his head] 

  J'onn J'onzz : It's hard to imagine you as a teenager.

  Supergirl : [smiles]  Well, I wasn't always this mature. And Eliza refused to leave. She said that my parents would want me to be loved, and that... nothing would replace them. That they were a part of who I am.

  [smiles] 

  Supergirl : That was the first time I ever let her really hug me. And that was the first time I didn't feel alone anymore.

• Kara Danvers : [obviously eavesdropped on Alex and Maggie]  How was that?

  Alex Danvers : Ugh. Spy much?

  [Kara chuckles] 

  Alex Danvers : It was good. We're just... gonna be friends.

  Kara Danvers : [nods]  Okay.
