American Dreamer (2019)

Emily Tennant: Edna

Quotes 

• Edna : Things at AmerTek are bad. Really bad. I even heard a rumor they're installing alien detection devices on the entrances next week.

  Kara Danvers : Has AmerTek done business with Lex Luthor or any of his associates in the past eighteen months?

  Edna : I'm in HR.

  Kara Danvers : Can you get me access to those records?

  Edna : [reluctant]  Look, I want these guys taken down. But they are rounding up aliens. And my actions could put my friends and family in danger.

  Kara Danvers : Edna, I know it's scary right now, but Franklin told me how brave you've been. Taking the personnel files of the aliens in your office. What's happening is wrong. But the only way we can stop it is by exposing the people that are committing these crimes. Can you help me?

• Edna : How much longer is this gonna take?

  Kara Danvers : Not long.

  [speeding through the files, she finds an invoice] 

  Kara Danvers : A military base in Rubniu?

• Kara Danvers : Who's Sebastian Melmoth? I researched all the AmerTek executives. I never saw his name. You're in HR. Could you get me his employment records?

  Edna : Those servers require my personal PIN number. They'd know it was me. Someone's coming.

  [hearing voices outside] 

  Edna : We have to hide.

  [Kara uses her freeze breath to seal the door; after a moment, the voices leave] 

  Kara Danvers : Hey... it's okay, it's okay.

  Edna : I'm sorry. But you don't know what it's like to walk around with a target on your back just because of what you are. I can't go on the record. I can't do this.

• Edna : I saw the Dreamer broadcast last night. It was inspiring. I realized you were right. The only way we can stop any of this is by exposing these people. I have something for you.

  [handing over a manila envelope] 

  Edna : I thought maybe these could help.

  Kara Danvers : [looking through the contents]  These are the acquisition papers for that military base. But they'll know it was you. What about your job?

  Edna : I don't care. In fact, if you need an AmerTek whistleblower, I'm willing to go on the record.

  Kara Danvers : This... is very brave of you.
