Quotes 

• Supergirl : It was an honor, Madam President. It was nothing. And I still can't believe I got to see Air Force One.

  President Olivia Marsdin : If you think that's cool, you ought to see my other jet.

• Supergirl : It's amazing, an executive order allowing aliens on Earth to come out of the shadows and live as full citizens. She's making history.

  J'onn J'onzz : Not in my book, I think she's making a big mistake.

  Supergirl : Now, how can you of all people say that?

  J'onn J'onzz : Because it's been my hard experience that humans and aliens don't mix.

  Supergirl : What about you and me?

  J'onn J'onzz : What about us? We can look like them, we blend in, a lot of aliens can't. And people in this world don't have much tolerance for others who look different. I say that as an alien and as someone who's worn the face of a black man for 15 years.

• Winn Schott : I've never heard of Daxam.

  J'onn J'onzz : It's a sister world to Krypton. Both capable of sustaining life, both orbiting the same sun.

  Alex Danvers : You've never mentioned it before.

  Supergirl : Hundreds of years ago, Krypton and Daxam fought a bloody war to a stalemate. Thousands of lives were lost on both sides because of a pointless war Daxam started.

  Winn Schott : What were they fighting about?

  Supergirl : Krypton was a democracy. A world of explorers, philsophers, scientists, and Daxam, was a monarchy. With kings and queens who ruled a population of hoodlums. We had a saying on Krypton for Daxamites, "May tex kolar Daxam."

  Alex Danvers : And that means...

  Supergirl : Nothing I can repeat in English.

• Supergirl : [surprised]  I'm... meeting the President?

  Alex Danvers : Unless you're too nervous to do so.

  Supergirl : Nervous?

  [chuckling] 

  Supergirl : No. Me? I'm not... No, I'm not nervous. No, it's... Nervous? Yeah, yes, yeah, I'm really nervous. I'm nervous! It's the President.

  J'onn J'onzz : You'll be representing this entire organization. I expect you'll be professional.

  Supergirl : [nods calmly]  Yes.

  J'onn J'onzz : And for the record, she's the one who's lucky to meet you.

  Supergirl : Thanks.

  [big smile, fidgets with her hair] 

  Supergirl : Should I get a blowout?

  J'onn J'onzz : Oh, dear God.

  [leaves in a huff] 

  Supergirl : [to Alex]  What?

• Supergirl : Not surprised you would make a joke of this. Your entire race thinks nothing but themselves.

  Mon-El : And you would know all about my race, Kryptonian? Judging by that self-righteous glyph on your chest. Hey, so shouldn't you already have all the answers?

  Supergirl : What's that supposed to mean?

  Mon-El : Well, I know how your people feel about us. High-and-mighty, "enlightened" Krypton. Looking down on us lowly peasants ever since you attacked us with no provocation.

  Supergirl : We attacked you? Is that... Why did you send a broadcast to Daxam?

  Mon-El : It was a distress call.

  Supergirl : Why were you sending a distress call?

  Mon-El : Because I'm in distress! Okay, I'm not here by choice. I'm just letting my people know I'm alive.

  Supergirl : Yeah, okay. So if you're marooned on this planet, why are you trying to kill the President?

  Mon-El : Sorry, what's a... What's a pres... Presibent?

  Supergirl : If you thought I punched hard before, wait till you see me when I'm angry.

  Mon-El : I didn't come here to kill anyone!

  Supergirl : Good, because you never will.

  Mon-El : Right, and you've already made up your mind about me. So, it seems kind of pointless to keep talking to you. Bye-bye, your highness.

• President Olivia Marsdin : I can think of no better time than the present to extend our hand in friendship.

  J'onn J'onzz : Even if that hand might get bitten off?

  President Olivia Marsdin : One has to have hope.

  J'onn J'onzz : What if it's false hope?

  President Olivia Marsdin : It's hope, J'onn. How can it be false?

  Supergirl : Did you hear that? That was like a legit quote. People are going to quote her.

  [the other two look at her incredulously] 

  Supergirl : Okay, well, I have to go. I'm conducting my very first interview as a reporter. Just... call me if she says anything else cool, okay?

  [goes off enthusiastically] 

  Alex Danvers : What do you think?

  J'onn J'onzz : I think hope isn't gonna catch our would-be assassin.

• Lena Luthor : Uh, if you have a parking ticket, I can have it validated for you.

  Kara Danvers : No, no, no, that's fine. I flew here.

  [hasty correction:] 

  Kara Danvers : On... on a bus.

• Supergirl : If you thought I punched hard before, wait till you see me when I'm angry!

  Mon-El : Hey, I didn't come here to kill anyone!

  Supergirl : Good, 'cause you never will.

  Mon-El : [annoyed sound]  Right, and you've already made up your mind about me, so it seems kind of pointless to keep talking to you. Bye-bye, Your Highness.

  [makes obsequious gesture, lies down on bunk] 

  Mon-El : Oh, that's better.

  [ignoring Kara does not go down well with her]
