Quotes 

• Alex Danvers : I don't know why I thought throwing a lesbian wedding shower would curb mom's cheesy antics.

  Kara Danvers : Nope. Gay, straight, whatever, Eliza will not be stopped until she digs up every bridal shower game since the beginning of time. You know what? You're gonna love Bridal Bingo.

  Alex Danvers : Kill me now.

• Supergirl : [in J'onn's car, distracting a group of White Martians]  Hi! I'm, uh... I'm sorry to bother you during... um... whatever it is you're doing. But I think I took a wrong turn at Albuquerque and... can any of you give me directions back to Earth?

• Alex Danvers : How are you doing?

  Kara Danvers : Fine. Great.

  [seeing her expression] 

  Kara Danvers : Alex, what's going on with me has nothing to do with you and Maggie. I could not be happier for you.

• J'onn J'onzz : I have to go away for a few days. I'm gonna need you both to manage the DEO until I get back.

  Kara Danvers : Where are you going?

  J'onn J'onzz : Mars.

  Alex Danvers : You... Mars?

  J'onn J'onzz : M'gann sent me a message. She needs my help.

  Kara Danvers : Help with what?

  J'onn J'onzz : I dunno. The message was short, urgent. I tried to make contact, but I... I couldn't reach her. I can sense that she's in danger.

  Kara Danvers : No, J'onn, you're the last Green Martian. The Whites have been trying to kill your kind for centuries. Going back would be a suicide mission.

  J'onn J'onzz : Look, M'gann came to our aid when we were in need. I must go for M'gann.

• Alex Danvers : If you're going to Mars, then Kara's going with you.

  Kara Danvers : Yeah.

  J'onn J'onzz : I won't have you endanger your life just to fight my battles.

  Kara Danvers : Your battles are my battles, J'onn.

  J'onn J'onzz : I can't take you away from Alex's shower.

  Alex Danvers : Are you kidding? If I thought that I could survive Mars, then I would be right there fighting by your side.

  Kara Danvers : J'onn, if Krypton still existed and I had to go back to where my parents were buried under rubble, I know you wouldn't let me do it alone.

• Supergirl : There's no seat belt.

  J'onn J'onzz : It's from a different era.

  Supergirl : And a different planet.

  J'onn J'onzz : I come from a race of shapeshifters, Kara. Why shouldn't our technology shapeshift, too?

  Supergirl : Fair enough.

• Supergirl : Shouldn't we just call Winn to fire up the transmat portal?

  J'onn J'onzz : No, you can't transmat planet to planet without a gate on the other side. We'll have to get to Mars the old-fashioned way.

  Supergirl : [he opens a garage door]  It's a cool car. So, is this like an elevator to a secret hangar that'll take us to...

  J'onn J'onzz : No, it isn't.

  Supergirl : This is your ship?

  J'onn J'onzz : Yep.

  Supergirl : We're taking this to Mars?

  J'onn J'onzz : Yes, we are.

  Supergirl : [skeptical]  Okay.

  J'onn J'onzz : [she plops down into the passenger seat]  Careful with the leather there, Supergirl.

• J'onn J'onzz : M'gann.

  M'gann M'orzz : J'onn, you came. I wasn't sure that you would.

  J'onn J'onzz : I'd do anything for you, M'gann. You know that.

  M'gann M'orzz : [noticing Kara]  Kara. You didn't have to...

  Supergirl : You came when we needed you.

• J'onn J'onzz : What's going on, M'gann?

  M'gann M'orzz : We recently stormed a White Martian base near the D'ori'i Crater.

  N'keyy : There was a prison camp there, for Green Martians.

  J'onn J'onzz : There were dozens of camps.

  Till'all : This one was still in operation.

  Supergirl : How is that possible?

  J'onn J'onzz : I'm the only Green Martian left.

  M'gann M'orzz : No. There's another one. I brought you here because I didn't think you'd believe me unless you saw this for yourself.

  Supergirl : [seeing J'onn recognizes him]  J'onn? Who is it?

  J'onn J'onzz : It's... my father.

• J'onn J'onzz : I don't understand why he couldn't sense me, couldn't see me.

  Supergirl : He's been in prison a long time. He's probably used to tricks.

• Till'all : If the Green won't share the information willingly, we'll have to invoke the Rite of Tiagar, take it by force.

  Supergirl : What's Tiagar?

  J'onn J'onzz : It will allow him to force through my father's mental block, show him where the staff is.

  Supergirl : Could that hurt him?

  M'gann M'orzz : It could kill him.

  Till'all : We don't have a choice.

  Supergirl : There's always a choice.

• J'onn J'onzz : You ever wonder, Kara, what your parents would say to you if they could see you now after all this time? What they'd think of the person you've become?

  Supergirl : Every day. They'd be proud of me.

  J'onn J'onzz : Yeah, I thought that, too. And I actually got the chance to ask. My father thinks I'm a coward.

  Supergirl : Then he doesn't know you. 'Cause the man I know has dedicated his entire life to making sure what happened on Mars never happens anywhere else. So go in there, J'onn. Show your father who his son really is.

• Supergirl : Look at me. I'm not a White Martian. You can sense that, can't you?

  M'yrnn J'onzz : You're a Kryptonian.

  Supergirl : Yes, that's right. I come from a dead planet. I come from a dead people, just like you.

  M'yrnn J'onzz : Krypton is gone, but my world remains. And every day for 200 years, I have been forced to remember the horror of what happened to my people.

  Supergirl : You're right.

  M'yrnn J'onzz : There is no future for Mars.

  Supergirl : Not for Green Martians, no. But this is bigger than you now. This is about your faith.

  M'yrnn J'onzz : What do you know of my God?

  Supergirl : I heard you earlier. H'ronmeer tests us. This is a test. You have a chance to save your planet. Not for your people, maybe, but for another people who want to do better than those that came before. I don't blame you for not wanting to believe that J'onn is actually your son. I don't blame you for not wanting to open your mind, because if it weren't true...

  M'yrnn J'onzz : It would be like losing him all over again.

  Supergirl : Yes. And whether or not you believe he is your son, he wants to save Mars. So please, M'yrnn, open your mind just a little bit. Just give him a chance.

• J'onn J'onzz : This is my favorite memory. This is our home, father. I haven't thought about this in a long time. Can you see it?

  M'yrnn J'onzz : I see it. I remember it. K'hym. T'ania.

  J'onn J'onzz : My daughters. Your granddaughters.

  Supergirl : They're beautiful, J'onn.

  J'onn J'onzz : They were excited about something. They were terrible at keeping secrets.

  Supergirl : What did they know?

  M'yrnn J'onzz : That I had left worship early to surprise J'onn.

• Till'all : [Kara fights off a White Martian]  How did you know which one was me?

  Supergirl : I didn't.

• M'yrnn J'onzz : So this is Earth.

  Supergirl : This isn't even the nice part.

  M'yrnn J'onzz : I don't know. I rather like it.

• J'onn J'onzz : You know, I'm not sure I could have done this without you.

  Supergirl : Yes, you could have. You're the strongest man and Martian I've ever known, and I was glad I could be there to help you, anyway.

  J'onn J'onzz : I'll see you tomorrow.

  Supergirl : You got it, boss.

  M'yrnn J'onzz : [watching her fly away]  Can everyone on this planet do that?

  J'onn J'onzz : No. She's special.

• Supergirl : [plans to go along to Mars]  J'onn, if Krypton still existed and I had to go to where my parents were buried under rubble, I know you wouldn't let me do it alone.
