Quotes 

• Kara Danvers : Ever since J'onn left the DEO, I just feel so far from him. I don't really know what his life is like.

  Alex Danvers : Yeah.

  Kara Danvers : All I know is I hate his new point of view. It just feels so ominous.

  Alex Danvers : Well, J'onn is not an alarmist, Kara. I mean, if he's trying to tell you something, I would listen. What are you so afraid of?

  Kara Danvers : I'm not afraid of anything. It... I just finally feel like the world is good. And I so badly want it to stay that way, even if it's just for a little while.

  Alex Danvers : Kara Danvers, you are the most courageous person I know. And even if it's hard, if you face it, you can conquer anything.

  Kara Danvers : I'll try.

  Alex Danvers : Ha.

  Kara Danvers : Only if you conquer the urge to not punch Brainy in the face.

  Alex Danvers : Mm. That is an unfair bargain.

• Alex Danvers : I analyzed our recent torrent of conflicts, and I couldn't find a common factor. I did things your way wrong. I did things the Legion way wrong. I did things my way so very wrong.

  [he accidentally fires his toy dart gun; he sets it down, embarrassed] 

  Querl Dox : I just couldn't win. And then I realized that's it. I can't win because I'm not Winn. He was your... bro. I'm not him. Unless... unless I... I am.

  Alex Danvers : I'm not... I'm not very good with change. And I do miss Winn. A lot. And I guess in some ways, I've been punishing you for not being him, and that is... that's not fair.

  Querl Dox : I understand. I miss my friends, too.

  Alex Danvers : I'm sorry, I didn't even think about that. And you left them behind.

  Querl Dox : Well, technically, they're ahead.

  Alex Danvers : Right. Yes. Look, either way, we are stuck with each other, so...

  [seeing his face fall] 

  Alex Danvers : No, I mean, it's not a bad thing. It-it's-it's actually a good thing. You know? We just have to find our rhythm.

  Querl Dox : That, I can do. I've been told I have excellent rhythm.

  Alex Danvers : [blocking a friendly punch in the shoulder]  No.

  Querl Dox : Just let me...

  Alex Danvers : [blocking him again]  No.

  Querl Dox : All right.

  Alex Danvers : Just no more sweaters, all right?

  Querl Dox : Thank god. These things are restrictively tight.

• Alex Danvers : We're training, people. Never charge without a plan. Jensen, right?

  Jensen : Yes, Director Danvers.

  Alex Danvers : Let's dance.

• Querl Dox : Director Danvers, President Marsdin is arriving for her yearly visit.

  Alex Danvers : When?

  Querl Dox : Uh, now.

• Alex Danvers : Madam President, what a surprise.

  President Olivia Marsdin : So it seems.

  Alex Danvers : Yes, um, if you can just give me a minute, then I can, uh, get cleaned up and we can chat. Agent Dox was supposed to give me a warning before you arrived.

  Querl Dox : Uh, I believe I did. Right before she entered. Was that not enough?

• Querl Dox : I didn't think you needed more of a head's up that the president was arriving. You're good on your feet. True, I process terrabytes in microseconds, but you're not so slow yourself.

  Alex Danvers : You don't process as fast as you think you do. Because I have been telling you for months to warn me in advance when things are important.

  Querl Dox : [an alert goes off]  Like Supergirl just cratered at Vose Laboratory?

  Alex Danvers : I'll assemble a strike team.

  Querl Dox : There's no time.

  [putting on his Legion ring and flying away] 

  Querl Dox : Long live the Legion!

• Querl Dox : I'm back, having assisted Supergirl, which was highly rewarding.

  Alex Danvers : I'm very happy you were able to help. But we seem to be having a communication problem.

  Querl Dox : Oh, no, I assure you, I understand every word that comes out of your mouth.

  Alex Danvers : Yes. But you are not comprehending it. Otherwise, you wouldn't have spent the last three months acting like a grain of sand in my boot.

  Querl Dox : Ooh. I guess that does sound annoying.

• Alex Danvers : Every time I tell you to do something, you either do too little or too much.

  Querl Dox : Yes, but I felt...

  Alex Danvers : This isn't the Legion. Okay, you don't get to just go rogue whenever you feel like it. So from now on, you don't leave this building, you don't breathe, unless I tell you to. Is that understood?

  Querl Dox : Affirmative.

  Alex Danvers : Good.

  Querl Dox : [she leaves]  May I breathe now?

• Kara Danvers : Did you finish the fried rice?

  Alex Danvers : I'm sorry. I'm stress eating.

  Kara Danvers : Did you have a bad date?

  Alex Danvers : No, the dating, it's actually... it's been great.

  Kara Danvers : Really?

  Alex Danvers : No, don't get that look on your face like you're gonna officiate my wedding.

• Kara Danvers : So, why are you scarfing the lo mein?

  Alex Danvers : Brainy. Oh, my god. I'm sorry, but everything... everything he does just infuriates me. I know it's mean, but it's just... ugh, I can't help it.

  Kara Danvers : He's new to this time period. It's a big adjustment. I'm sure it's been hard. Try to go easy on him.

  Alex Danvers : I'll try.

• Alex Danvers : We ordered your favorite Chinese takeout and you haven't even taken a bite. What's going on? I thought you were on top of the world.

  Kara Danvers : I got in a fight with J'onn. After the attack at the bar.

  Alex Danvers : Really?

  Kara Danvers : He tried to convince me that there's this hate movement against aliens. I mean, am I crazy? I feel like the world is better than it's ever been. More diversity, more acceptance.

  Alex Danvers : Sure. I mean, in-in some ways.

• Alex Danvers : You doing okay?

  Supergirl : Yeah. And thanks for being here. I know you pick your battles now.

  Alex Danvers : Well, it seemed like a good battle to pick.

• Alex Danvers : The lights are blown in here. We're gonna move the president to the safe room. That was just the distraction. Madam President.

  President Olivia Marsdin : Do you think they're inside the perimeter?

  Alex Danvers : I know they are.

  [to the Secret Service agents] 

  Alex Danvers : All right, take her back. You guys go, clear the house.

  Supergirl : [noticing something on patrol outside]  Alex, they're in DEO uniforms.

• Alex Danvers : [with Otis in custody at the DEO]  You can act as tough as you want, but you are gonna tell us where Mercy went. And when you do, you're gonna wish you had done it sooner.

• Alex Danvers : Where did you get all that stuff?

  Querl Dox : The comic book store on Excelsior.

  Alex Danvers : Oh, that's right down the street from Winn's old apartment. And that cardigan, Winn has the same one.

  Querl Dox : Does he?
