- James Olsen: Lyra, how long have you been on Earth?
- Lyra Strayd: A couple years. But I learned English off-world.
- James Olsen: Your English is impressive. But I'm actually a lot more impressed how well you speak "Winn."
- Mon-El: You're gonna get another job.
- Kara Danvers: Yeah, but I don't want another job. Reporting is my calling. I help people.
- Mon-El: Yeah? You know who else does?
- Kara Danvers: Who?
- Mon-El: Supergirl.
- Kara Danvers: Mm.
- Mon-El: Yeah?
- Kara Danvers: You know, it's just... when I write, I don't need a yellow sun. It's just me. Supergirl is what I can do. Kara is who I am. I really loved that job.
- Mon-El: Hey. You have so much to offer this world. So don't let Snapper or anyone else tell you differently. Okay?
- Kara Danvers: [she smiles and kisses him] You know something?
- Mon-El: What?
- Kara Danvers: Maybe being Supergirl and having you is enough.
- Kara Danvers: You said a good reporter should cultivate their source.
- Snapper Carr: Sources. Plural. I'm not gonna take your word for it. Way too much fake news out there. I can't risk it.
- Kara Danvers: So, what, you're willing to put people's lives in danger than risk hurting your reputation?
- Snapper Carr: Careful, ponytail. You're at DEFCOM 3 with the moxie.
- Lillian Luthor: "The Overman shall be the meaning of the Earth. Remain faithful to the Earth, and do not believe those who speak to you of otherworldly hopes."
- Jeremiah Danvers: Nietzsche.
- Lillian Luthor: Who better? His Superman was about us humans believing in ourselves instead of looking up the gods. This time, you're the only Superman we need.
- Alex Danvers: I'm sorry I disobeyed your orders, J'onn. But you shouldn't have done what you did. That was cruel.
- J'onn J'onzz: I did it because I thought you might be reckless and get yourself hurt. But then I almost lost you in that ship anyway. I was wrong, Alex. And I'm, uh... I'm sorry. Please know I... I only did it to protect you. I never meant to hurt you.
- Alex Danvers: [meaning Jeremiah] You sound just like him.
- [she gives him a supportive hug]
- Alex Danvers: Can we just agree to stop doing the wrong things for the right reasons?
- J'onn J'onzz: Yeah. Sounds like a plan.
- Snapper Carr: "A halb emes iz a gants lign," as my grandmother from the shtetl would say: A half truth is a whole lie.
- Supergirl: I never lie.
- Snapper Carr: Well, bully for you, but you're talking to a journalist. We believe everyone is lying until we can prove they're not. So, this list. Who had it in the first place? Who was it stolen from?
- Supergirl: I won't reveal their name, but I can confirm it is a classified federal agency who reported the theft from their servers.
- Snapper Carr: So, you got your intel from a government black site? How long have you been involved with them?
- Supergirl: Well, that's a leading question, Mr. Carr. I never said I was involved with them. I'm not the story.
- Maggie Sawyer: Did you get your job back?
- Alex Danvers: Yeah, I did.
- Maggie Sawyer: Good. 'Cause I'm not dating some unemployed slacker.
- [smiles]
- Alex Danvers: Oh.
- Maggie Sawyer: Though you do make good arm candy.
- Alex Danvers: Mm.
- [arm goes around Maggie's shoulder]
- Alex Danvers: Don't I?
- [they walk away]
