Kara Danvers : [seeing Mon-El dressed for work] It fits! It's perfect.
Mon-El : Yeah?
Kara Danvers : Yes. Now you just need glasses.
Mon-El : [putting on a pair of sunglasses] Oh, no, I, uh... I have got that covered, thank you.
Kara Danvers : [taking them off] No, no, no, no. Like real glasses, like mine. Well, they're not real, but they keep it so no one knows I'm Supergirl.
Mon-El : I'm pretty sure no one's gonna mistake me for Supergirl.
-
Eve Teschmacher : What's your name?
Mon-El : Mike. Number 49800...
Kara Danvers : No, no, Mike. You don't need to give her your Social Security number.
Mon-El : So I memorized that fake ID for nothing?
Kara Danvers : [pointedly] You mean your real ID?
-
Alex Danvers : When you first arrived at our house, I thought "Finally, I have a sister."
Kara Danvers : An alien sister.
Alex Danvers : Even better. But I still wanted you to be just like me. To do everything that I did. I... so I dragged you out to science fairs.
Kara Danvers : Those were so boring.
Alex Danvers : Made you watch scary movies.
Kara Danvers : What do you have against a good old romantic comedy?
Alex Danvers : Forced you to listen to the music that I liked.
Kara Danvers : Yeah, your punk rock phase was very strange.
Alex Danvers : But I finally... I let it go. Let you do your own thing, find your own hobbies, listen to your own weird music.
Kara Danvers : Wei... uh, *NSync, first of all, is not weird. And second of all, they are amazing.
Alex Danvers : Mon-El is not you. Just like you're not me. So what works for you might not work for him. You know, people just have to... have to figure out what works for them. Know who they are inside. What they're meant to be.
Kara Danvers : So you're saying the job and the sweater and the glasses are a bit too much?
Alex Danvers : Not everyone can rock argyle like you do.
-
Kara Danvers : When I was younger, I had no idea what I wanted to be here on Earth. And I had a family to help me and guide me, but... ultimately I had to make my own choices. And I was trying to impose those choices on you because when you landed, I was-I was just so excited to have someone to take under my wing. To look after. I never got to do that with my cousin. But you are your own man. And your life here on Earth is going to be very different from mine, and that's fine. That's great.
Mon-El : So, does this mean I don't need to get a job?
Kara Danvers : You still need to get a job.
Mon-El : Right.
Kara Danvers : But just pick something that you like. And I'll be here to help you, however you need me to be. That's what a real mentor does.
-
Kara Danvers : So, when I first started working here, I found it helpful to bring coffee to the other assistants to make new friends.
Mon-El : Ah, bribery, got it. We have that on Daxam.
Kara Danvers : No, it's not bribery. It's just niceness.
-
Kara Danvers : What are those alarms for?
Mon-El : No, no. They're not alarms, come here. That's a phone. You pick it up and you say "Hello, this is CatCo, how may I help you?". Oh, you definitely want to give Eve Tessmacher a coffee. She is James' assistant, the big boss. Eve, have you met our new intern?
[immediately smitten, she absent-mindedly drops her pen]
Eve Teschmacher : [taking the coffee he offers] Uh, thank you so much!
-
Kara Danvers : I want to introduce you to our new intern. Mike.
James Olsen : Right, Mike. Welcome to CatCo.
Mon-El : Uh, you're... you're the big boss?
James Olsen : That I am.
Mon-El : Huh. Kind of expected someone a little more intimidating.
-
Mon-El : Why would you take the elevator? It'd be so much quicker to just fly from floor to floor.
Kara Danvers : [shushing him] Mon-El!
Mon-El : Mike.
Kara Danvers : Mike. Mike. Um... I told you a million times, you are never to show your powers to anyone else. That's the whole point of the clothes and the glasses.
-
Kara Danvers : This is your desk.
Mon-El : Wait, so you're saying I can't use my powers to go through this giant pile of boring paper?
Kara Danvers : No, of course not.
Mon-El : And you-you're telling me you've never used your powers to do these menial tasks?
Kara Danvers : [scoffing laugh] Never. No. Not once.
Mon-El : You-you know, you get this little, uh...
[indicating the bridge of his nose]
Mon-El : This little crinkle right up there when you lie?
Kara Danvers : I don't have a crinkle.
Mon-El : Yeah, you're crinkling right now.
Kara Danvers : I don't have a crinkle.
Mon-El : You're crinkling at the moment.
-
Kara Danvers : It's your first phone call. Think you can handle it?
Mon-El : Yeah.
[leaning over the phone]
Mon-El : Hello, this is CatCo. How may I help you?
[she picks up the ringing receiver and offers it to him]
-
James Olsen : [after a car nearly hits them] That was close.
Kara Danvers : Yeah, for their car.
[masked men jump out and run into a nearby bank]
Kara Danvers : Seriously? Right in front of Supergirl? I almost feel bad for them.
-
Supergirl : You do know those bullets aren't going to work on me, right?
Chet Miner : I'm glad I didn't bring any bullets.
-
Supergirl : James, are you okay?
James Olsen : Yeah.
Supergirl : Oh, no. Your dad's camera.
James Olsen : Who were those guys?
-
Winn Schott : Any of these look familiar?
Supergirl : That one! That's the gun he was carrying.
Winn Schott : Okay. That is an Anndrannian Photon Cannon.
J'onn J'onzz : How'd these guys get their hands on alien technology?
Alex Danvers : Are you sure they weren't Anndrannian?
Supergirl : Well, they weren't purple with fins, so, yeah, I'm sure.
Winn Schott : Oh, you are lucky this thing hit you before it was fully charged. There's no telling what this might've done to you.
-
Kara Danvers : What are you doing?
Mon-El : Eating these red tubes. They're amazing. Like pure joy in food form.
Kara Danvers : No, Mon-El, there's a time and a place for eating candy.
Mon-El : Yeah, and it's this time and this place.
Kara Danvers : No, this... this is your place of work. So when James gives you a task, you should be the one to complete it. Not Ms. Tessmacher.
Mon-El : She wanted to please me. On Daxam, when a woman wishes to please a man...
Kara Danvers : Wherever you're going with that, just... just don't. We are not on Daxam. Thank Rao.
-
Kara Danvers : Have you seen Mon-El? I mean, Mike?
James Olsen : I asked him to take this down to marketing, like, two hours ago.
Eve Teschmacher : [Kara hears them with her superhuman hearing] Mike, do you have protection?
Mon-El : Oh, you mean like a sword?
Kara Danvers : Ugh, God, get it out of my ears! Ew!
-
Kara Danvers : What were you thinking?
Mon-El : That I haven't had sex in 35 years.
Kara Danvers : You can't do that here!
Mon-El : Are you sure? 'Cause I've been watching this TV show about doctors, and I'm pretty sure it's okay.
-
Kara Danvers : I am trying to help you fit in and you keep messing it up.
Mon-El : Okay, I'm trying very hard to be Mike, okay? But it is not as easy as you make it sound, Kara. I'm used to doing my own thing.
Kara Danvers : Well, you don't do your own thing here. You do my thing.
Mon-El : Um, okay. And if I don't want to do your thing?
Kara Danvers : Then find another mentor.
-
Kara Danvers : A donut? You never eat sugar in the middle of the day. What's wrong?
Alex Danvers : I'm feeling confused about something. Your steps were exceptionally stompy just now. You all right?
Kara Danvers : Where do I start? Mark almost got fired today.
Alex Danvers : Who?
Kara Danvers : Mark. Uh, Mike. Mon-El. He doesn't take his job seriously, at all. It's really like he's never worked a day in his life.
Alex Danvers : Well, he is from a different planet.
Kara Danvers : I'm from a different planet, and I had to deal with the awkwardness of seventh grade when I first got here. I... I helped him get a new identity. I... I helped him get an internship. I even got him a new pair of glasses for a disguise in case he wants to put on a cape and help people the way I do. He has everything he needs, and yet he is still a disaster.
Alex Danvers : Well, that's the problem.
Kara Danvers : What, the glasses? I can take those back, but I don't think it's gonna make any difference.
-
Lena Luthor : Hey, I know you. You saved my life.
Alex Danvers : Yeah. Special Agent Alex Danvers, FBI.
Kara Danvers : She's my sister.
Lena Luthor : Oh. This city's smaller than I thought.
-
Lena Luthor : Remember I told you about that stupid fight club last week?
[Kara nods]
Lena Luthor : Now it's my turn to ask for a favor.
Kara Danvers : Anything. Shoot.
Lena Luthor : I need to get in touch with Supergirl.
-
Winn Schott : Okay, so, the Muon Particle Detector will let us know if there are any weapons within a hundred feet.
Kara Danvers : Are you sure?
Winn Schott : Have I ever been wrong before?
[she gives him a look]
Winn Schott : Okay. This time I am sure.
Kara Danvers : I see Lena. Commence Operation Doubtfire.
-
Supergirl : You took a great risk, Ms. Luthor. Why didn't you tell me what you were up to?
Lena Luthor : I doubt you would've believed that a Luthor just wanted to see justice done.
Supergirl : Well, I couldn't have stopped them without you. Thank you.
Lena Luthor : Who would've believed it. A Luthor and a Super working together?
[they share a small laugh]
Lena Luthor : I hope we can work together more in the future.
Supergirl : Me, too.
-
Kara Danvers : Hey, thanks again for taking in Mon-El.
James Olsen : You make him sound like some sort of stray puppy.
Kara Danvers : He is. He's an outer space stray puppy.
James Olsen : I gotta admit, I'm a little jealous of him. You know, everything is so brand new and exciting.
Kara Danvers : Well, I mean, yeah, he's got a lot to learn, though. But he does have me to guide him. He will be an Earthling in no time. Way faster than I was.
-
Alex Danvers : It's kind of a coincidence that Cadmus releases a new video just as criminals get their hands on alien weapons.
Supergirl : Not a coincidence if Cadmus is the one giving them the guns.
-
Kara Danvers : James, I don't know what to do. Anndrannian cannons, Pytharian magma bombs. These are weapons that are far more advanced than anything we had on Krypton. Cadmus doesn't care who gets hurt in trying to make sure all aliens get a bad name.
James Olsen : Yeah, well, I'm sure you and the DEO will figure something out.
Kara Danvers : Don't sound so defeatest or anything.
James Olsen : I'm sorry. I just... I just don't feel like there's a lot that I can do to help behind Cat's desk.
Kara Danvers : You help.
James Olsen : I couldn't even save my dad's camera.
-
Kara Danvers : [seeing Eve's arms overflowing with file folders] Are you turning into Ms. Grant? How much work did you give that girl?
James Olsen : I didn't give her anything.
Kara Danvers : Eve. Hey, hey, Eve, let me help you.
Eve Teschmacher : Oh, thanks, Kara.
James Olsen : And those were the yearly quarterly reports that Mike was supposed to do.
Eve Teschmacher : Oh, Mike. He is so nice. He was really struggling with his work and it's his first day. So I was just trying to help him out. He's so nice.
James Olsen : You want to get this or you want me to get it?
Kara Danvers : Oh, I want to.
-
Kara Danvers : Surprise visit to CatCo?
Lena Luthor : No, I'm... I'm here to see you, actually.
Kara Danvers : You are?
Lena Luthor : Yeah. L-Corp is hosting a party this weekend. It's a gala fundraiser for the Children's Hospital after that horrific attack on their new building. I was hoping you'd come.
Mon-El : Gala? Is that like a party?
Kara Danvers : No. No, it's not.
Lena Luthor : You are literally my only friend in National City. Most people wouldn't touch a Luthor with a ten-foot pole. It would mean a lot to me if you were there.
Kara Danvers : Of course I'll come. I'm-I'm honored.
Mon-El : I love parties. Can I come, too?
Kara Danvers : No.
-
James Olsen : Hey, have you seen the news? 63% of people now support repealing the Alien Amnesty Act. And that's after I published the piece about Cadmus and these other terrorist groups exploiting social media.
Kara Danvers : Yeah, Snapper wants me to write an objective piece about it. I don't know how I'm supposed to be objective when I know what they're actually up to.
-
Kara Danvers : [catching Eve and Mon-El half-dressed] What are you two doing? I mean, I know what you're doing. Just... just stop doing it!
Eve Teschmacher : Kara, this is, um... not what it looks like.
Kara Danvers : This is the definition of something looking like what it looks like. Just go, Eve.
Mon-El : [Eve leaves] I think I might have more powers on Earth than we realized. Do you think that I can make any woman fall instantly for me?
Kara Danvers : No, you can't.
-
Supergirl : You wanted to see me?
Lena Luthor : Yeah. Thank you for coming. I wanted to invite you to my party.
Supergirl : Kara Danvers told me you were going on with the fundraiser. You can't. It's definitely going to be a target for this gang.
Lena Luthor : Well, that's why I need you there to protect it. With Supergirl in attendance, I know my guests and I will be safe.
Supergirl : You like to take risks, don't you? When Corben was after you and now this. Why?
Lena Luthor : Well, you can't live in fear. You, more than anyone, must understand that. Time and again, you risk everything to see justice done. Is it so hard to believe that I feel the same way? Or are you one of those people that thinks there's no such thing as a good Luthor?
Supergirl : I believe everyone should be judged on their own merits.
Lena Luthor : Then judge me on mine. This party must happen, and I am asking you for your help.
Supergirl : I guess I have no choice.
Lena Luthor : Thank you. So Kara and I will see you tomorrow night?
Supergirl : Right. Yes, Kara and I will both be at your party.
[heading to the balcony to fly away]
Supergirl : Crap.
-
Lena Luthor : Supergirl, I'm glad you could make it.
Supergirl : I still think this might be a bad idea.
Lena Luthor : Well, why don't we wait and see how the evening pans out.
-
Lena Luthor : Kara, you just missed Supergirl.
Kara Danvers : [feigning ignorance] Did I? Golly.
-
Mon-El : What's your name, beautiful?
[seeing it's Kara]
Mon-El : Oh, it's you. Um, are you gonna yell at me again?
Kara Danvers : [her mouth full of food] I'm not... I'm not gonna yell at you again.
Mon-El : What's wrong with your mouth?
Kara Danvers : [swallowing] I'm not gonna yell at you again.
-
Kara Danvers : Where's the suit from?
Mon-El : Oh, you like it?
Kara Danvers : Yeah, it's nice.
Mon-El : Yeah, Eve gave me her little, uh... her plastic rectangle to buy things.
Kara Danvers : You used her credit card?
Mon-El : You're gonna yell at me again.
-
Kara Danvers : Good morning.
Mon-El : [waking up] You... am I late for work?
Kara Danvers : Oh, no. You were fired.
Mon-El : Yeah, I'm not sure it was my destiny to be an intern.
Kara Danvers : Yeah, I'm not so sure, either.
Mon-El : So you're not mad at me?
Kara Danvers : I get the feeling I'm always gonna be a little mad at you.
Mon-El : Yeah, I get that feeling, too.
-
Kara Danvers : I got you something.
[handing him a pamphlet]
Kara Danvers : It's a guide to National City.
Mon-El : Hmm. Thank you, Kara.
Kara Danvers : Mm-hmm.
Mon-El : [flipping through the pamphlet] Oh... what's a "strip club"?
Kara Danvers : [ripping the page out] You know, let's just take that page out.
-
[last lines]
Lillian Luthor : Oh! I didn't realize you had company.
Lena Luthor : Would you excuse me, Supergirl? I have... I have to take this.
Supergirl : Of coure.
Lillian Luthor : [Kara flies off] Sorry I missed your party.
Lena Luthor : What else is new? So, what can I do for you... mom?
