Quotes
-
Kara Danvers : Supergirl gave us an exclusive interview.
Cat Grant : In exchange for?
Clark Kent : A request. She'd like to tone down the, um... gee, how do I put this? The... sensational tone that the battle's been receiving in the media.
Cat Grant : I don't know how I can do that. People are finally starting to fight. Finally starting to stand up.
Kara Danvers : Supergirl doesn't want anyone showing up and getting hurt.
Clark Kent : And I don't know anyone who cares more about the people than you do, Ms. Grant.
Cat Grant : Once again, Kansas, you're the only person who really gets me.
Clark Kent : I try.

Alex Danvers : What did Lilian want?
Superman : Lilian and Lena have a way - a fail safe - to get rid of the Daxamites if Kara doesn't beat Rhea.
Supergirl : It's a device that will seed the Earth's atmosphere with lead. No Daxamite would survive on this planet.
Winn Schott : What... except for Mon-El, right?
Superman : Mon-El might be able to survive a little longer than the others; he's been exposed to our yellow sun for a few months.
Mon-El : Well, if it comes down it, you use it. I won't be the reason this planet suffers.
Supergirl : No. No, it's not gonna come to that. I told Lena to start working, but I want to be very clear about something. We will not have to use that device. And I'm going to beat her. Your mother is going to leave. For good.
-
Superman : You okay?
Supergirl : Of course. I did the right thing.
Superman : I... think it goes far beyond the right thing. I couldn't have done it, Kara.
Supergirl : You don't have to try to make me feel better.
Superman : I'm not. I'm humbled by you. I'd like to think that if it came down to a choice between Lois and the world, but... I don't think I could. You are so much stronger than me. Stronger than I ever will be.
-
Mon-El : You just invoked a trial by combat created by barbarians. It's been around since we crawled out of caves on Daxam with rocks and sticks.
Supergirl : If I win, she goes. They all go. They are bound by ancient law to leave this planet in peace. She's not gonna win.
Mon-El : But what if she does? Do you know what will happen? You'll have to stand by and watch her walk this planet trampling everyone underfoot.
Supergirl : I just have to beat her. And I will.
Mon-El : Why not Superman? Isn't this his fight, too?
Superman : [entering] It's everyone's fight. But Kara just defeated me. She's the champion of Earth.
-
Superman : What is it?
Supergirl : I just... I feel like I'm on the brink of having everything I've ever wanted. Family, friends, a job I love, a life as a hero I never could have imagined. And Mon-El. If I beat Rhea, I get to keep all that. I don't know. I... I don't if it's possible. I don't know if it's possible to have everything you want.
Superman : Well... it is. But only because you've worked for it. Whenever I fight, no matter who it's against, where it is, I'm always fighting for Lois. I fight with her right here.
[indicating his heart]
Superman : The people we love, they're, uh... they're another secret super power. Keep 'em with you.
-
Supergirl : I feel like...
Alex Danvers : You got punched by Superman?
Supergirl : Repeatedly.
Alex Danvers : Yeah.
Supergirl : [nearby, Superman wakes up] Kal.
Superman : Kara?
[she hugs him, relieved he's himself again]
Superman : What happened?
-
Superman : Silver kryptonite. That's a new one. The whole time, I thought I was fighting Zod. It didn't weaken me at all.
Supergirl : It might have.
Superman : No. No, I was at full strength and you beat me.
Supergirl : Well, I'm just glad we're both okay. But we need to come up with a plan to defeat Rhea, or she's just gonna keep coming after us.
Alex Danvers : And the positron cannon was the only weapon we had capable of penetrating their ships' shields. Is there anything that powerful here?
Superman : Not a weapon. But I might have something we can use against them.
Supergirl : What?
Superman : Information. I feel like there was something in the archives about the early wars with Daxam.
[he activates a screen and the Kryptonian language scrolls by]
Superman : You know, this really would be a lot easier with Kelex.
Supergirl : Yeah, sorry. I kinda had to blast him.
Superman : No, no, it's fine. It's just you owe me a new robot.
Supergirl : Dakam-Ur. Never heard of that.
Superman : It's old, but it might work.
-
Cat Grant : And, um... what, pray tell, brings you here?
Clark Kent : Gosh, Ms. Grant, I, uh... I just wanted to see what I could do to help.
Cat Grant : Oh, you do love danger, don't you, Clark Kent. Yet another reason why Lois made no sense.
-
Clark Kent : [to Kara] Hey. You're never gonna guess who wants to see us.
[in costume, they arrive at Lena's office]
Lillian Luthor : Of course the two of you would make an entrance.
Lena Luthor : Unfortunately, this is her on her best behavior.
-
Supergirl : So, what did you want?
Lillian Luthor : My daughter has a way to save us.
[Lena and Lilian lead Supergirl and Superman inside]
Lena Luthor : [showing them the box Lilian gave her] It's a device my brother invented to keep humans safe while irradiating the atmosphere with kryptonite. It would have made the planet uninhabitable for both of you.
Supergirl : Well, lucky my cousin put him in jail before he could make it work.
Lillian Luthor : And lucky for you, I found it.
Lena Luthor : I've been studying it, and I think I can convert it to irradiate the atmosphere with lead rather than kryptonite.
Lillian Luthor : Just a trace amount. Harmless to humans, but the atmosphere would become toxic to Daxamites. The aliens would be forced to leave, or stay and die.
Superman : All of them?
Lillian Luthor : Mm-hmm.
Lena Luthor : And they could never return. Even Rhea's son.
Supergirl : [more to Superman] Mon-El would have to leave Earth.
Lena Luthor : Did you know he was dating Kara Danvers?
Supergirl : Start working.
