Quotes
-
Alex Danvers : Look, the man that I loved hasn't been a father to me in years. And... and, yes. Yes, we were so close that we could just... we could finish each other's sentences. But his obsession with keeping you safe changed all of it. Nothing else mattered to him, the least of all me.
Kara Danvers : That is not true.
Alex Danvers : Oh, come on, Kara. He treated you like you were some golden girl, and of course you have love for him, and I totally respect that. But he treated me like I wasn't even worth his time.
Kara Danvers : Okay. So what do you want me to tell Eliza?
Alex Danvers : I don't care.
Kara Danvers : You don't care. You don't care what I tell our grieving mother?
Alex Danvers : I have spent my entire life protecting this whole family, and I *will not* do it again!
Kara Danvers : [giving up] She is all yours, Kelly. I'm not dealing with this.
-
Supergirl : [entering the VR National City] Let's go punch things.
-
Alex Danvers : I am the one who held out hope for him. I am the one that said that he was good, and that Cadmus was forcing him to kill people.
Kara Danvers : And he helped you escape.
Alex Danvers : And then he disappeared. Again.
[snapping her fingers]
Alex Danvers : Just like that!
Kara Danvers : Alex, he's still your father.
Alex Danvers : Ugh.
Kara Danvers : You should be at his burial.
-
Kelly Olsen : What's wrong?
Alex Danvers : I think there's a lot more going on in the VR than we know about. 'Cause I don't think I was the only one that was lost in there. There was... there was a woman named, uh, Bonnie, and-and there was a guy, Derek. And... and I think they were stuck in there, too. And if there was three of us, then there could be a lot more.
Kelly Olsen : Um... okay. I-I... I'm on it. Um, but first, we need to get you to Midvale. Okay?
Alex Danvers : Yeah. Yeah, we do.
-
Alex Danvers : I'm so sorry. I was such a jerk. And I pushed... J'onn and Kara and you away. You know, I've been so angry at my dad for so long, for abandoning Kara and I, for never reaching out, you know? But as... but as... as hurt as I've been, I just... I-I kept thinking that he would come back into our lives someday. And-And... and then, you know, I get the news about his death, and I just... I just got so mad at everyone. But the reality... is that I was just mad at myself. 'Cause I couldn't save him. And so I... I felt... I felt hopeless.
Kelly Olsen : You are not hopeless. You are a warrior.
-
Young Alex : There he is.
Supergirl : Dad?
[as she touches his shoulder, Jeremiah crumbles into nothingness]
Young Alex : This is what you needed to see. The truth in the real world.
Supergirl : The real world?
Young Alex : The real world where we're not Supergirl. And where even if we were, nothing that we could have done would have saved him. We always hoped that he'd come back to us. And if he didn't, we hoped that someday we'd find him. That's why you took on the role of Supergirl. She stands for hope. But now that dad's dead, we know that there's no chance of that ever happening. And even if we were Supergirl and we did find him, it wouldn't change anything. His life was a result of his choices. Not ours. But it's gonna be okay. Because in the real world, we still have people who love us and who wanna help us make the changes we can. Unlike here, where everyone is trying to lock us in.
-
Eliza Danvers : Alex. Get away from her, please. She's dangerous. Don't let her put crazy thoughts in your head.
Supergirl : She's not...
Eliza Danvers : This is your home. We are your family. You belong with us, not with her.
Querl Dox : That thing needs to be destroyed.
J'onn J'onzz : If you can't...
[powering up his weapon]
J'onn J'onzz : ...we will.
[as they all fire their weapons, Alex uses her cape to protect Young Alex]
Supergirl : [using her freeze breath on them] Not in my reality.
-
Alex Danvers : [arriving at Jeremiah's funeral] I'm sorry for all the things that I said.
Kara Danvers : It doesn't matter. You're here now.
-
Tilly : So are you blowing off steam playing hero, or working something out?
Supergirl : You know, I'm just taking a break from the real world.
Tilly : Yeah, the real world sucks.
Supergirl : Yeah.
Tilly : Jill was just diagnosed with stage four cancer, and I can't even afford the flight to go see her.
Supergirl : I'm so sorry. That's terrible.
Tilly : It is. But in here, it's all good, right? Even if it's just for a few hours.
-
Supergirl : So, who's this rock starman?
Tilly : His real name is Derek something, and he's in here all the time. Word is his wife passed away. If you ask me, he stays in VR way longer than is healthy.
[a helicopter hovers above, and a rope ladder drops down]
Tilly : And that's my ride. See you around, Supergirl.
-
Kelly Olsen : Look, I get it. You know I have had a lot of loss. I know how you feel.
Alex Danvers : You have no idea... how I feel. I have mourned the loss of my father multiple times. You have no idea this stabbing pain here.
[indicating her heart]
Alex Danvers : I'm losing him over and over and over again. And I really... I really can't tolerate being psychoanalyzed by my girlfriend right now.
Kelly Olsen : I'm sorry.
Alex Danvers : So rather than your apology, what I want is to be left alone.
Kelly Olsen : Okay. I will give you space. But just know that I love you and I'm here for you unconditionally. And when you're ready, just call.
-
Tilly : Hey, Supergirl, I haven't seen you in VR before. Treasure Hunter Tilly. I'm a participant like you.
Supergirl : Oh. Oh, cool.
Tilly : Most of these people are bots. The simulation maps your brain, so it'll populate your world with things that feel familiar to you. People you know, places you've been.
Supergirl : Well, they do look very, very real.
Tilly : All you gotta do is check the neck. If you see three stripes, that means they're a non-player character. The ones without stripes, we're the realies.
-
NPC-Reporter : Supergirl, how does it feel to defeat a Dracokardosian?
Supergirl : Uh, I'm just glad that I could help.
NPC-Reporter : So what are you going to do now?
Supergirl : Well, does anyone know where a girl can get a bite to eat around here?
-
Alex Danvers : I'm not going. And you can spare me the big accusing eyes, Kara. I'm not changing my mind.
Kara Danvers : Excuse me. Um... Alex, I don't understand. You were with me last night when we made the arrangements.
Alex Danvers : I never said that I was participating.
Kara Danvers : I... I-I know you're in pain.
Alex Danvers : I'm not in pain.
Kara Danvers : Of course you are.
Alex Danvers : Okay, stop telling me how I feel.
Kara Danvers : Okay, then you tell me how you feel. Tell me why you're refusing to go to your father's funeral.
Alex Danvers : Because I don't feel the need to bury a man who has been dead to me for years.
-
Kara Danvers : Jeremiah was changing his ways. He was helping people, making amends.
Alex Danvers : Well, not to me.
Kara Danvers : He had to live in secrecy for his safety.
Alex Danvers : Right.
Kara Danvers : After leaving Cadmus, did you think he was just gonna be able to call us whenever he felt like?
-
Supergirl : These blueberry pancakes are absolutely insane. I mean, they're just like from when I was back home. It's, like, crispy on the outside and a little bit gooey on the inside. Oh, my god. Kelly could come here and eat these without dying.
Tilly : Don't tell me, is Kelly one of your super friends?
Supergirl : Uh, no. No, no, no. She's my girlfriend. My very smart, and kind, and wonderfully supportive girlfriend who I was a complete jerk to this morning.
Tilly : We all have our bad days.
Supergirl : Hmm. This is a little bit more than that. I just found out that my father passed away. He kind of treated me like I was an equal. Especially when it came to taking care of my mother. And d-definitely when it came to taking care of my sister. And, uh, I don't know, I-I thought it was really cool that he would give me that kind of responsibility, but I look back at it now, and I'm... I just... like, it is totally unfair that he put all of that on me. I mean, my... my sister, she can be a handful. So I thought if I came in here, um, I could just feel some freedom for myself. I could fly around and I could knock things down without anybody being able to stop me. And then I would... I would feel better. But I don't. I mean, not... not really. 'Cause, I mean, my dad's still dead. My girlfriend, she's right. I have a lot of things to work through. Anyways, that was... wow. Um... I, uh... I think it's about time that I go back to the real world.
Tilly : What do you mean?
Supergirl : Uh, you... just that I mean this has been a lot of fun, but I think it's... it's time to get back to reality.
Tilly : Reality? Are you okay, hon?
-
Hank Henshaw : As I'm sure you've discovered by now, I've stolen a missile from a nearby base. What you haven't discovered is that while the DEO was focused on my larceny, I kidnapped your sister.
Dreamer : Kara?
Querl Dox : [on his tablet] Sprock! It is true. Look.
Supergirl : How?
J'onn J'onzz : The only way he could know Kara is your sister is... if he found out your secret identity.
Hank Henshaw : There's a nuclear warhead at the Tamaki Air Force Base south of the city. Get it and deliver it to the abandoned warehouse on Waterfront Road within the hour. Do it, or I'll reveal your secret identity and kill your sister.
J'onn J'onzz : Alex, I know your history with Henshaw. Promise me you won't let feelings cloud your judgment as we bring him to justice.
Supergirl : I can handle it.
-
J'onn J'onzz : Good job today. Henshaw's in containment.
Supergirl : Good. How's Kara?
J'onn J'onzz : Back at CatCo, finishing her article as we speak. Oh, and she, uh, wanted me to remind you it's your turn to pick up the dumplings tonight.
Supergirl : Hmm. That's my sister.
-
Supergirl : I've got Henshaw, but I don't know where...
J'onn J'onzz : We have Kara. She's safe.
-
J'onn J'onzz : Supergirl.
Supergirl : J'onn?
J'onn J'onzz : We need you at the DEO, right now.
Supergirl : You're in the DEO?
-
Hank Henshaw : Supergirl, this is Hank Henshaw. There's only one thing alive on less than four legs that can hear this frequency. And that's you.
J'onn J'onzz : [seeing her wince in pain] Are you okay?
Supergirl : It's Henshaw.
Dreamer : What?
Supergirl : He's speaking to me in some sort of high-pitched frequency.
-
J'onn J'onzz : We've just had word that a short-range ballistic missile was stolen from Thompson Marine Base by unknown terrorists.
Querl Dox : Paired with the right tech, an SRBM like that has the capacity to wipe out everything in a 20-mile radius.
Dreamer : Can we track it?
Querl Dox : We're sweeping the city for its signature now.
Dreamer : This is the part where you say you'll circle the city and track these guys down.
Supergirl : Right, yes. Uh, sorry, I was just... you have no idea how good it feels to be here with you.
-
J'onn J'onzz : I know that look. Is something on your mind?
Supergirl : Yeah, I just, um... I don't know, everything just feels so... so good.
J'onn J'onzz : Hmm.
Supergirl : You know? But I-I keep having this feeling that I've forgotten something. Kind of like that... the "Did I lock the front door?" kind of feeling.
J'onn J'onzz : Mm-hmm.
Supergirl : You know? But-but still, I... I know that I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing. I've got my team, I've got my family... everything, it feels...
J'onn J'onzz : Right? Alex, you saved your family, the DEO, and the citizens of National City today. That feeling you can't quite pin down... it's called happiness. Now, come on, let's go celebrate. Brainy's buying.
Supergirl : You're right. Let's celebrate.
-
Supergirl : Where's Kara?
Hank Henshaw : She's safe. For now.
Supergirl : What do you want?
Hank Henshaw : WHAT DO I *WANT*? Your father infiltrated my organization, ambushed me. Left me for *dead* in the jungle! So this is what I want!
[drawing an energy weapon from his coat, he fires it, which ties her up in a kryptonite restraint]
Hank Henshaw : You didn't think I'd come unprepared, did you?
Supergirl : [opening the case, he sees it's empty] You didn't think I'd bring an active warhead, did you?
Hank Henshaw : I still have the missile. And I still have you. That's enough to get the DEO back to its former glory. By blowing it up and starting over. And now the DEO, your sister... and everyone you love will die. No one will be able to save them... or you.
Supergirl : I don't need anyone to save me. 'Cause I am Supergirl!
-
Kelly Olsen : Alex.
Supergirl : Kelly. Are you all right?
Kelly Olsen : Yeah, I'm fine. I just... I didn't know if you had tried to get out, but your failsafe isn't working.
Supergirl : What?
Kelly Olsen : The glitch that Richard Bates hacked, it wasn't fixed. Um, and I think you might have been affected. I can't eject you, so I need you to wake yourself up and end your simulation, and then I'll tell you everything.
Supergirl : End... end my simulation? I...
Kelly Olsen : You need to exit your virtual reality. I can't do it for you. You have to do it for yourself.
Supergirl : Oh, my god. Psi must have gotten to her, too.
Kelly Olsen : What? No.
J'onn J'onzz : I'll make sure she gets to the medbay.
Kelly Olsen : I-I don't need to go to the medbay. You have to end this. This isn't real. You know that.
Querl Dox : [showing them his tablet] A-ha! She was assaulted by Psi.
Kelly Olsen : That never happened. Hey, Alex, can't you see that this virtual reality is just giving you what you want?
-
Supergirl : How can there be two Supergirls?
Querl Dox : Perhaps it's the result from kryptonite poisoning. Should we head to the DEO?
J'onn J'onzz : Perhaps we should go back to the medbay.
Supergirl : No, this isn't real. I have to get out of here. I have to go.
Alex Danvers : [waking up in her apartment] That was weird.
-
Alex Danvers : How do I know if I'm not in the VR still?
Kelly Olsen : Because we had a fight this morning that was never resolved. Because your dad is gone for good, and you're sad. But it's gonna be okay.
Alex Danvers : I know. Yeah, I-I know that now.
[hugging, then letting go]
Alex Danvers : I love you. Thank you for not giving up on me.
Kelly Olsen : I would never.
-
VR Supergirl : Hey. Supergirl.
Supergirl : Hi. That's a... that's a really great costume.
VR Supergirl : Black. Now, that is cool.
Supergirl : S... um, sorry, what-what are... what are you talking about?
VR Supergirl : Oh, I love this place. They just never make the drinks cold enough, though.
Supergirl : [watching her use her freeze breath] Wait... how... how did you...
VR Supergirl : I've come here to escape reality. Not have subpar drinks.
Supergirl : This... this isn't real?
VR Supergirl : What, you think all these drinks would be on the house? Are you okay?
Supergirl : This is... this is impossible.
VR Supergirl : You look like you are bugging out. I'll just get someone.
-
NPC-Police Officer : Thanks, Supergirl. These guys sure chose the wrong bank to rob.
Supergirl : Speaking of bad choices, there's still time enough for you to turn your life around, young lady.
[taking the ski mask off, she's surprised to see her teenage self]
Young Alex : Hi, Alex.
Supergirl : How do you know my real name?
Young Alex : Because I'm you. You can feel it.
Supergirl : How?
Young Alex : I've been sent to show you something that you need to see.
-
Supergirl : I remember this place. That... that bomb, I-I planted that bomb. This is the Cadmus facility where I last saw dad.
[Young Alex indicates a figure nearby]
Supergirl : Is that...?
Young Alex : Jeremiah. We didn't face him before, but we need to now.
Supergirl : Maybe now he can explain why he never came back.
-
J'onn J'onzz : Psi just launched a psychic attack on National City. She's making everybody doubt their reality. Don't tell me she got to you, too. We need you here.
Alex Danvers : No, I'm all right.
[doing the Superman shirt tear]
Alex Danvers : And I'm on my way.
[she flies out the window]
-
Supergirl : What do I need to see?
Young Alex : That none of this is real.
Supergirl : Yes, it is Of course it is.
J'onn J'onzz : Supergirl, is everything okay?
Young Alex : Come with me, and I'll show you the truth you've been avoiding.
Querl Dox : Come on, Supergirl, the NCPD can take it from here.
J'onn J'onzz : Supergirl, let us help you.
Young Alex : Or are you afraid of facing reality?
-
Supergirl : [putting Psi in a containment cell] Well, I guess some villains are all thought and no action.
