Quotes 

• Kara Danvers : The day your father killed those six people was like for me the day my planet exploded

• Supergirl : [landing after their flight]  You could feel like that all the time you know. Free. Untethered. True to who you' really are.

  Hank Henshaw : The world needs Hank Henshaw more than it needs J'onn J'onzz.

• Winn Schott : [after Kara helped disperse knockout gas]  You sure you're all right?

  Kara Danvers : Yeah. I don't normally inhale...

  Winn Schott : They're gonna kill him. Th... they're... they're gonna go find him, and then go kill him.

  Kara Danvers : Not if we find him first.

  Winn Schott : Kara, no, no. Okay? I'm not gonna make you commit a federal offense by going around these guys. No. This is... this is my burden...

  Kara Danvers : Which means it's mine, too.

  [he groans in frustration] 

  Kara Danvers : Winn, think about everything you've done for me. The last few months, becoming Supergirl, I wouldn't have been able to survive without you.

  Winn Schott : You'd be fine. I mean, yeah, the-the Supergirl suit sucked. But you, Kara, with-with everything that you have? Everything that you... that you are? No, you-you don't really need me.

  Kara Danvers : You're wrong.

  Winn Schott : No.

  Kara Danvers : I do. I know what it's like to feel isolated and alone. I re-live that feeling in my darkest moments. But when I'm with you, I never feel that way. When your dad says he misses you, I believe him. Because if you weren't in my life... I'd be lost, too.

  Winn Schott : I have a creepy little doll that I could give you for when you're lonely.

  Kara Danvers : [amused laugh]  Please just let me be there for you. The way you've always been there for me.

  [her phone buzzes] 

  Kara Danvers : Except just not in the next 20 minutes. Cat just texted me.

• Kara Danvers : [watching Lucy Lane in Cat's office]  That was a genuine laugh. That was not fake, that was real.

  James Olsen : What do you think they're talking about in there?

  Winn Schott : Kara does have this handy ability called superhearing...

  Kara Danvers : Yeah, but that just feels wrong, doesn't it? Is that wrong?

  James Olsen : [whispering]  Do it.

• Winn Schott : [after the FBI questions him about his father's prison break]  Guessing you were listening to that whole thing?

  Kara Danvers : I mean, you told me your dad was in prison, but not that he...

  Winn Schott : Because I didn't want you looking at me the way that you're looking at me right now. And you wanna know the worst part? He wasn't always crazy. In fact, he was a good dad, he was normal. We'd go to his workshop and tinker, build a toy.

  Kara Danvers : So you never saw any signs?

  Winn Schott : No. He was... he was quiet. Scared to death of losing his job. He was angry. I guess no one knew how angry until it was too late. His... his boss stole his toy designs and got rich off them.

  Kara Danvers : Did your dad fight back?

  Winn Schott : No. He was a coward. He didn't say anything, he didn't stand up for himself. What he did was put a bomb in a teddy bear. And then he sent one to his boss. Chester Dunholtz. Except his assistant opened the package. It killed her and five other people.

  Kara Danvers : I know there's nothing anyone can say to make you feel better right now.

  Winn Schott : Well, hey, you have a homicidal maniac in the family, too, so you know where I'm coming from.

  Kara Danvers : At least your father knows enough to keep his distance.

  Winn Schott : [taking a toy out of his bag]  So, I found this on my desk this morning.

  [he pulls the toy's string] 

  Winslow Schott : Son, come see me at our favorite place. I'll be waiting for you.

  Kara Danvers : Oh, Winn.

  Winn Schott : I don't know what to do.

  Kara Danvers : Why did you lie to the feds?

  Winn Schott : I don't know. Okay, I've spent my entire life just trying to forget what he did. Trying not to be consumed by this anger that I have for him. And trying, even in my best moments, to forgive. But I still just hate him.

• Winn Schott : Dad?

  Winslow Schott : God, look at you.

  Winn Schott : You need to turn yourself in.

  Winslow Schott : I broke out of prison for you, for us. I'm sorry I was gone so long.

  Winn Schott : You need a doctor, okay? You need some help.

  Winslow Schott : My son. My good boy. My greatest work.

  Winn Schott : [holding up a toy]  I thought this was your greatest work.

  Winslow Schott : We're the same, you and I. We're linked. Together, we can do anything.

  Winn Schott : We... we are not the same.

  Winslow Schott : That genius that lesser people call madness. That's inside of you, too.

  Cameron Chase : [in a tac team van]  We've got eyes on Schott. Tactical teams, mobilize.

  Kara Danvers : [moving to follow them]  All right, let's go.

  Cameron Chase : We can't do our job and worry about you, too.

• Supergirl : You know, when I came out, embraced my powers, finally letting myself be who I was meant to be,

  [chuckles] 

  Supergirl : it turned out to be the best thing I ever did.

  Hank Henshaw : That's you.

  [goes off, and Kara sighs] 

• Supergirl : [sighs]  I might have ruined something

  [covers herself with blanket as she settles in for Game of Thrones on TV] 

  Supergirl : and I don't know if I can fix it.

  Alex Danvers : Did he ask you out or kiss you or something, and you freaked out?

  Supergirl : What? How... did you...?

  Alex Danvers : I'm an elite agent with an expertise in analyzing speech patterns and body language.

  [Kara sighs] 

  Alex Danvers : I'm also a human being with eyes.

• Alex Danvers : Okay, I've pinpointed the location of Room 52 at Lord Technologies, assuming we can trust James Olsen's intel.

  Hank Henshaw : Superman trusts him. That's good enough for me.

  Alex Danvers : Supergirl trusts him, and that's more than good enough.

  Supergirl : If you're infiltrating Lord Tech, I'm in. Max beat James to a pulp for finding Room 52. What could he be hiding in there?

  Hank Henshaw : We will find out. But it'll require subterfuge and subtlety, not a red cape.

  Alex Danvers : Couldn't it also require a bit of Martian manpower?

  Hank Henshaw : That's not an option.

• Newscaster : ...criminal known as Toyman to his fellow inmates escaped from the Van Kull maximum security prison this morning. Toyman got his name from the dangerous and...

  James Olsen : [Winn grabs a remote from a co-worker and mutes the TV, then leaves]  What's going on with him?

  Kara Danvers : I don't know.

• Lucy Lane : [leaving Cat Grant's office]  She is so nice.

  Kara Danvers : Nobody has ever said that before.

• Kara Danvers : You can't let anything happen to Winn.

  Cameron Chase : His father killed an agent the last time we apprehended him. We're not leaving anything to chance.

  Kara Danvers : Agent Chase...

  Cameron Chase : Ms. Danvers, the only reason you're here is because your friend wouldn't do this without you. So be quiet and stay out of the way.

• Cat Grant : Why didn't you tell me?

  Kara Danvers : Tell you what?

  Cat Grant : That Winn Schott, our beloved little computer elf, is the spawn of Toyman.

  Kara Danvers : I... I don't think he really wanted anyone to know.

  Cat Grant : Well, perhaps he should consider changing his name. So, when can we set up the TV interview? He seems like a very sensitive boy. Do you think he can cry on cue?

  Kara Danvers : Ms. Grant, Winn is not doing any interviews.

  Cat Grant : Fine. But if I see him talking to Diane Sawyer, he's fired.

• Cat Grant : I need you to go down to HR and get me the offer packet for Lucy Lane. I want to make sure that everything is organized for her to sign tomorrow.

  Kara Danvers : Has she said yes yet?

  Cat Grant : No. But she will.

  Kara Danvers : You don't think you should have talked to James before offering his girlfriend a job?

  Cat Grant : Oh, Kira. James' problem is not having his girlfriend at work. His problem is having his girlfriend at work while he's having... whatever he's having with... someone else.

  Kara Danvers : [scoffing laugh]  I don't know what you're talking about. Th-There is nothing going on between James and I.

  Cat Grant : As much as I love watching you millennials deny your feelings, I pay you not to have them. Now, I need a lawyer, and this is a place of work, not the bullpen of TMZ. Go get me the offer packet.

  Kara Danvers : Yes, Ms. Grant.

  Cat Grant : [as Kara leaves]  Honestly, she should be paying me by the hour.

• Winslow Schott : [Kara hears his voice down below]  Natural consequences, son.

  Supergirl : He's in the basement!

  Winslow Schott : This is gonna hurt me more than it's gonna hurt you.

  Supergirl : He's detonating the bomb!

  [takes to flight inside hall, yelling down at crowd:] 

  Supergirl : Everybody, move! Come this way!
