Quotes 

• Querl Dox : In thinking of peaceful protests, might we consider the success of the Women's March, the Million Man March, the Freedom March?

  Colonel Lauren Haley : Tiananmen Square, the Bonus March of 1932. For every success story, there's one of lives lost. This march is filled with nearly 1,000 aliens or alien allies, which fall under our protection. And if anything goes wrong, it's on us. Organize a team.

  Querl Dox : Very well. I shall update Agent Reiff on AmericanAlien's profile.

  Colonel Lauren Haley : Look, there's no time for that. I want you to lead it.

  Querl Dox : Me?

  Colonel Lauren Haley : Yes. Danvers has a team at Lockwood's rally. You two should coordinate.

• Querl Dox : [the Morae chitters as it's lead into DEO custody]  The mouth on that one, honestly.

• Querl Dox : Supergirl left us a present. And a note. Says "You're welcome."

  Alex Danvers : Well, she did manage to take down one of the Elite and stop Lockwood's assassination in a day.

  Colonel Lauren Haley : Then it sounds like you've got some breathing room. Which is a good thing. The president asked me to reassign you to a security detail.

  Alex Danvers : Security? Whose?

  Ben Lockwood : Mine. But please don't worry, Director Danvers. I, uh... I come in peace.

• Colonel Lauren Haley : Since Director Lockwood's little announcement, a pro-alien march has been organized to counter his rally. Someone going by "AmericanAlien" is at the center of this one. I need you to hack into the message board and see if any extremists will be showing up to stir the pot.

  Querl Dox : You want to stop the march?

  Colonel Lauren Haley : No. But with Lockwood amping up his base and the Elite amping up theirs, this whole event could turn into a powder keg.

  Querl Dox : Well, whoever this AmericanAlien is, their website is superbly protected. He or she must be a highly intelligent cryptophile.

  [seeing her stoic stare] 

  Querl Dox : This may take some time.

  Colonel Lauren Haley : Just do it, Dox.

• Colonel Lauren Haley : Any movement on our AmericanAlien or their website?

  Querl Dox : None. Their online fingerprint is generic at best. Unidentifiable at worst. Without knowing their key, accessing the message board is next to impossible.

  Colonel Lauren Haley : And the march's head count?

  Querl Dox : Hovering just over a thousand.

  Colonel Lauren Haley : We need to get agents on the ground for it.

  Querl Dox : Do we?

• Querl Dox : Why are you in your suit?

  Dreamer : Breaking it in.

• J'onn J'onzz : I have nothing. Hat must be hiding in the Fifth Dimension. The energy there makes him untraceable.

  Querl Dox : Uh, yes, I heard about Manchester's passing. Um, the Legion ring he... he took, my ring, was it...

  [from the awkward silence, he realizes the answer is no] 

  Querl Dox : Oh. Well. That's put to bed now.

• 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.

• Colonel Lauren Haley : Agent Dox, sitrep.

  Querl Dox : [marching with J'onn]  I have the team running perimeter checks. And I am in a prime location to run interference.

• 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.
