- Winn Schott: We're gonna need a bigger block.
- Mon-El: This is awe and some.
- Winn Schott: No, it... It's just "awesome." You got to put those two words together and you'll be golden.
- Mon-El: So, when I become a superhero, I'll need a costume, right? Something awesome like... Like Kara's.
- Winn Schott: I mean, not to brag, but, uh, I actually designed Supergirl's costume.
- Mon-El: Huh. And... And these names... "Supergirl," who coins these names?
- Winn Schott: Oh, yeah, that one's not me, sadly.
- Mon-El: You... You... You can think of one for me.
- Winn Schott: Wait, really? You'd let me do that?
- Mon-El: Yeah, and make me a costume.
- Winn Schott: Okay... Uh-huh. Okay, I see what you're doing here.
- Mon-El: Sorry, me? Was I... Was I doing something?
- Winn Schott: "Oh, me, was I..." Yes! You think that if you appeal to my vanity and let me make your costume and name you, that I'm just going to let you out of the DEO.
- Mon-El: That hadn't even cross my mind.
- Winn Schott: Uh-huh.
- Mon-El: Us just sneaking out for a little bit, you know, just two new friends, right, running a... Running a couple of field tests, living out our dreams, not getting in trouble. Hmm. Not bad.
- Winn Schott: Damn you, Mon-El of Daxam. I'm so weak.
- Mon-El: So, who is that woman?
- Supergirl: It's my mother. She's not really her. But she's a hologram with her thoughts and knowledge.
- Mon-El: Yeah, we had constructs like this on Daxam.
- Alura Zor-El: Daxam. Sister world to Krypton. A race of bullies and hedonists, committed only to their pleasure. They are selfish...
- Supergirl: Bye, Mom! Sorry about that.
- Mon-El: No, it was... an apt description.
- Winn Schott: Did you know his heart is on the other side?
- J'onn J'onzz: That's absolutely fascinating. You know, the DEO received reports this morning of a six-foot alien attacking two men in a bar last night.
- Winn Schott: The news is so very violent these days.
- J'onn J'onzz: Apparently this alien had a 5'2" sidekick.
- Winn Schott: I am 5'9"!
- Veronica Sinclair: You see, Michael Vick made a mistake. People don't care what happens to aliens. But they do care about dogs.
- Alex Danvers: Are you sure you're okay?
- Supergirl: I just got my ass handed to me by a seven foot alien gladiator. I am nowhere near okay.
- Kara Danvers: Hey, chief, I got something for you. Remember the NCPD alien murder?
- Snapper Carr: Two-line police blotter item does not constitute a story.
- Kara Danvers: It does when it's connected to an underground fight club.
- Snapper Carr: [his interest piqued] My silence is your invitation. Talk fast.
- J'onn J'onzz: Who runs the fights?
- M'gann M'orzz: Why?
- J'onn J'onzz: So I can stop them!
- M'gann M'orzz: You don't know who you'd be going up against. She has powerful friends.
- J'onn J'onzz: So do I. They're using you. Watching you fight like an animal.
- M'gann M'orzz: No, I don't fight for them. I fight for myself. This is the reality that we live in. This is the world you've created.
- J'onn J'onzz: So, what's in it for you? The money? The thrill of the kill?
- M'gann M'orzz: I have never killed anyone in the ring. You don't understand.
- J'onn J'onzz: Then make my understand! We're the last of our kind. There's no one else. It's our responsibility to preserve everything we've lost.
- M'gann M'orzz: That's the difference between us. I don't want to remember. You want to still be there. You want to relive it, over and over. I don't. I wanna forget.
- J'onn J'onzz: I will never forget my wife and daughters.
- M'gann M'orzz: They're dead. We're alive.
- J'onn J'onzz: God help you, M'gann. You're lost.
- M'gann M'orzz: She calls herself Roulette. Her real name is Veronica Sinclair. Don't come back here.
- J'onn J'onzz: Do we know who the men in the van were?
- Alex Danvers: No, but these weren't low-rent thugs. They were definitely combat-trained. They mean business.
- J'onn J'onzz: So do we.
- [to Kara:]
- J'onn J'onzz: Or have you forgotten that?
- Supergirl: Hey. Hey, what's with the grumpy? Today and yesterday.
- Alex Danvers: Is everything all right, J'onn?
- J'onn J'onzz: I appreciate the concern, but I assure you, I'm fine.
- Supergirl: Don't make me pout!
- [pouts]
- Alex Danvers: [folding her arms] She's really good at it.
- Alex Danvers: [tending groaning casualty in arena] Are you all right?
- Supergirl: [coughing] I hope too many people didn't bet on me.
- Snapper Carr: [to the rookie] You're supposed to be at the Sanitation Department getting figures on pelican deaths at the trash dump.
- Kara Danvers: I am so excited about that. But I just overheard a report about a murdered alien on my NCPD scanner. They're calling it "alien-on-alien" violence.
- Snapper Carr: An alien got killed, an alien did it. Where's the story?
- Kara Danvers: I... I just told you the story.
- J'onn J'onzz: I met her at that alien bar you spoke of. We talked, but... I think I made a mistake.
- Alex Danvers: Why? What happened?
- [folds arms]
- J'onn J'onzz: I offered to... merge with her in the... Martian way.
- Supergirl: But you guys just met.
- J'onn J'onzz: It's psychically, Kara. The bond is the traditional Martian way of communicating. We... we link minds, share dreams, emotions...
- [shakes his head]
- J'onn J'onzz: memories. We kept no secrets from one another. Imagine, a world without ego, selfishness. Without... lies.
- Supergirl: [shakes her head] That sounds beautiful.
- J'onn J'onzz: She didn't seem to think so. The moment I talked about it, she... left. I am grateful to have you both in my life. I truly am. But with Martians, it's... it's different. It's deeper. Deeper than talking.
- [shakes his head]
- J'onn J'onzz: Fuller. With her, there's a chance for me to live how I was meant to live.
- Alex Danvers: Go tell her that.
- Supergirl: Why don't you try apologizing?
- [he considers this]
- Supergirl: I got my first article published.
- Alura Zor-El: I am pleased for you, Kara.
- Supergirl: Thanks. I have another idea for an article, but I don't think my new boss is too keen on it.
- [sighs]
- Supergirl: Or me, for that matter. Reporting is harder than I thought, and I thought it was gonna be really hard. But I'm trying, so...
- Alura Zor-El: Remember to always believe in yourself, my daughter.
- Supergirl: Yeah.
- [door opens behind her]
- Supergirl: Thanks for the advice.
- Maggie Sawyer: [meeting up outside club] You clean up nice.
- Alex Danvers: I do?
- [chuckles]
- Alex Danvers: Well, you do too, with the shoes and the hair and all the...
- Maggie Sawyer: [chuckles] I'm not all business
- Alex Danvers: But this is, right? I mean, what are we doing here?
- Maggie Sawyer: Wait for it. Here.
- [hands Alex a mask]
- Maggie Sawyer: [saving Roulette from getting beaten up] You're under arrest.
- Veronica Sinclair: For what?
- Maggie Sawyer: [handcuffing her] For operating without a liquor license, for starters.
- Supergirl: I'm sure you figured it out by now, but it's not a good idea to bet against me.
- Supergirl: [to Mon-El] I wasn't sent to planet Earth to be a hero. I was sent to protect my cousin... to teach him and keep him safe. And I never got to fulfill that purpose. So, in a weird way, helping you... It gives me another chance to do that.
