Quotes 

• Querl Dox : I used the info you got from Lillian Luthor and found a location for Mercy and Otis. Would you believe it's an abandoned warehouse?

• 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.

• 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 thought you could use some backup.

  Supergirl : Brainy.

  Querl Dox : It is I. You're free now, Supergirl.

  Supergirl : Free? The cuffs are still...

  Querl Dox : Opened?

  Supergirl : [taking the cuffs off]  Oh.

  Querl Dox : I was multitasking.

  [she flies away without another word] 

  Querl Dox : You're welcome.

• 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 : Brainy, what's up?

  Querl Dox : Definitely not me. I was grounded by Director Danvers. But while I was chained to my desk, not literally, I stitched together various images from surveillance at Vose's lab and ran them. The images were rudimentary and brought up 754,231 potential suspects. I checked each image with known associates and narrowed identification down to two. Otis and Mercy Graves. A brother and sister team.

  Kara Danvers : Do you have a location?

  Querl Dox : Negative. However, I was able to identify an ex-employer who might be able to help you with an address.

  Kara Danvers : Who's that?

  [cut to her arriving at Albatross Bay as Supergirl] 

  Supergirl : [surprised]  Lena.

  Lillian Luthor : Oh, dear. I hope I didn't have that same expression when you showed up this afternoon.

  Lena Luthor : No, mother. Your face was a mask of enigma, as usual.

• 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?
