Lena Luthor : Mr. Olsen. Come to tell Kara "I told you so"? Another Luthor takes innocent lives, news at eleven?
James Olsen : Ms. Luthor, despite our differences, I would hope by now that you would recognize that I see you as more than just an extension of your brother. However, I... I do think that you should get ahead of this thing. Which, in my opinion, I think you should step down from CatCo; so whatever we report, good or bad, comes off as truthful.
Kara Danvers : No, that would look like an admission of guilt.
Lena Luthor : No, Kara, he's right. Whatever's happening, whoever's responsible, this is a public crisis, and the public deserves to be able to trust the reporting so that they can prepare themselves. They expect integrity from us. They deserve it, and they need it now more than ever. Mr. Olsen, you will run CatCo until this is resolved. And I think I should also step down from L-Corp.
Samantha Arias : Lena, we need you. We need you to help guide the research.
Lena Luthor : No, no. L-Corp has a brain trust that is more than capable, okay? If I'm involved, I could be accused of... of covering things up, or even profiting from the sick. This can't be like Flint, Michigan, okay? Where... where bureaucracy got in the way. Helping people has to be the focus.

James Olsen : Ms. Luthor, um... you approved an advertorial on page six.
Lena Luthor : Is there a question coming?
James Olsen : Well, I... I just wish you would have told me first.
Lena Luthor : I didn't know ads were in your purview, Mr. Olsen.
James Olsen : Well, they're... they're not... they're not not in my purview. It's, like... it's not a big deal. It's just that if we're gonna disguise ads as articles, I think that it sends a bad message. I mean, people want to know what they're getting, you know? They... they expect integrity from us. Just a perception thing.
Lena Luthor : 70%.
James Olsen : Excuse me?
Lena Luthor : That's the deep discount on our print subscription rate, 70%. It's what it takes just to get people to read, so I think an advertorial here and now is a necessary evil.

Winn Schott : Jeez. If that bullet had a little more stopping power, your shoulder would be a mess.
James Olsen : Yeah, that's what you said last time.
Kara Danvers : Edge riled them up. He knew what he was doing.
James Olsen : The shooter just found out that her son took a turn for the worse. Now, I'm not making any excuses, but she just went after who she thought was responsible.
Kara Danvers : What are you saying? You still think that Lena's responsible for what's happening?
James Olsen : I'm not saying that she did this, I'm just saying that maybe this happened because of what she did.
Kara Danvers : Semantics.
James Olsen : She jerry-rigged that device to do something it was never intended to do. Look, I know you don't want to hear this, but that device was invented by Lex Luthor.

Lena Luthor : Mr. Olsen, I didn't expect you to be here.
James Olsen : Well, the news never sleeps.
Lena Luthor : How are you, really? I was worried about you.
James Olsen : Well, I'm kind of a hard man to keep down, Ms. Luthor.
Lena Luthor : You know, I have a rule. Whenever anyone take a bullet for me, they get to call me Lena.
James Olsen : [he laughs] Okay. Well, Lena it is. And, uh, my friends call me James. Or Jimmy.
Lena Luthor : [turning to leave] Well, feel better, Jimmy Olsen.
