Magical Thinking (2021)

Peta Sergeant: Nxylgsptinz

Quotes 

• Nxylgsptinz : Another totem in National City. It's almost too easy. It's as if fate is just dropping them on my doorstep.

  Mitch : But the moment we leave the ship to get it, Supergirl and her friends are gonna be able to track us.

  Nxylgsptinz : Well, then we better move quickly.

• Nxylgsptinz : You have no idea what you're holding in your hand, do you, muscle boy? That is one of the seven keys to unlocking all the power of the universe. And you've just been carrying it around in your sweaty pocket with loose change and unwrapped candies. Give it to me. Now.

  [the totem is tossed to her] 

  Nxylgsptinz : Cgyrzyx.

  Totem Oracle : [the totem activates]  The totem can belong only to one of ready heart. Is that you?

  Nxylgsptinz : Yes.

  Totem Oracle : Then use it wisely.

  Nxylgsptinz : [the totem turns into a red crystal]  That's it? There's no... gauntlet?

  [chuckling happily] 

  Nxylgsptinz : All right, then.

• Mitch : Nxyly, what's happening? Kill the guard. Get the totem. Nxyly, kill the guard.

  Nxylgsptinz : [wavering]  I can't do it.

  Mitch : We don't have time. Just do it.

  Nxylgsptinz : I can't do it.

• Nxylgsptinz : What kind of being hurts others for their own benefit?

  Mitch : Nxyly, there's something wrong with you. The hope totem was yours for the taking. After everything you've gone through to just give up now, it doesn't make any sense.

  Nxylgsptinz : Mitch. Remember how strange I thought it was that... the totem had no gauntlet? What if... the totem is the test? What if, when I unleashed its power, it drained every drop of humanity from anyone standing in the blast radius? What if all that compassion and empathy flooded into me?

  Mitch : That's why you couldn't kill the guard.

  Nxylgsptinz : He might've had children. He might've had people who loved him and cared about him. All I could think was how sad they'd be if I took him away from them. I can't bear it.

  Mitch : All right. We already have two totems now. Maybe there's a way of getting the others without hurting anyone. That way, you get what you want. And I still get the life you promised me.

  Nxylgsptinz : Mitch.

  [hugging him with a laugh] 

  Nxylgsptinz : Oh, it's brilliant! You're brilliant. Thank you. You're always thinking about me.

• Mitch : Where are we going?

  Nxylgsptinz : National City. I'm giving everyone their humanity back. Now.

  Mitch : You can't!

  Nxylgsptinz : What I can't do... is take it anymore. How am I going to hunt down the other totems if I don't stop feeling so deeply?

  Mitch : But if we leave the ship, Supergirl will be able to find us.

  Nxylgsptinz : I don't care.

• Mitch : Hey, boss. Feeling better?

  Nxylgsptinz : [realizing she's lost possession of the totem]  No. No! Why did you let me get rid of the totem? Fly down. Get it.

  [seeing Supergirl fly by] 

  Nxylgsptinz : Change of plans. Get us out of here.

• Nxylgsptinz : Get a grip, girl. It's only the totem... messing with you. Concentrate. Concentrate on getting the next one. The hope totem. How can I be expected to get anything done when there's so much suffering on this planet? If only I didn't have this damn cuff, I could snap away poverty, disease, hunger. I could save the snow leopards from extinction. Am I the only one that cares?

• Nxylgsptinz : [Mitch accidentally-on-purpose cuts his hand with a tool]  Oh, Mitch! You poor, broken thing. Oh! We have so much work to do. I can't possibly lose you now.

  Mitch : Are you, um, feeling okay?

  Nxylgsptinz : Mm-hmm. Never better. We already have two totems. And if the next one is as easy to use as the humanity totem was, I expect we'll have all seven in no time.

  Mitch : [looking into her crystal ball]  The next totem's at the Hague.

  Nxylgsptinz : We're going to the Netherlands. I love travel!
