Quotes 

• Winn Schott : The day my father set off a toy bomb and killed half a dozen people is the day I stopped being his son.

• 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.

• Cameron Chase : I'm sure you're aware that your father escaped from prison this morning. Has he called you?

  Winn Schott : No.

  Cameron Chase : Has he come to your house?

  Winn Schott : No.

  Cameron Chase : Has he attempted to contact you in any way?

  Winn Schott : No, no, he wouldn't even know where to look, okay?

  Cameron Chase : [Kara hears them with her superhearing]  Mr. Schott, your father is unhinged and extremely dangerous.

  Winn Schott : So nothing's changed, that's good to know.

  Cameron Chase : Did he have any friends he might want to contact?

  Winn Schott : If it weren't already apparent by the trail of bodies that he leaves in his wake, he hates people. So, no, he didn't have any friends.

• 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.

• Winslow Schott : Why didn't you visit me? I just wanted to know that you were okay.

  Winn Schott : I was not okay. I watched my dad get dragged off to prison when I was 11 for murder. How okay could I be after that, Dad?

• Cameron Chase : He specifically asked you to come to this arcade? Does your father have some sort of plan for you?

  Winn Schott : I don't know.

  Cameron Chase : He said, "I broke out of prison for you, for us." What does that mean?

  Winn Schott : I have no idea.

  Cameron Chase : He called you his greatest work, and he said "together we can do anything."

  Winn Schott : Yeah, he's crazy. I mean, I don't even know why you're writing all this stuff down. It doesn't make any sense.
