Quotes 

• Maggie Sawyer : I have one pet peeve, Danvers, and that's not being heard.

  Alex Danvers : Okay. I'm listening.

  Maggie Sawyer : [turning to leave]  No, forget it. I'm outta here.

  Alex Danvers : [stopping her]  Hey, no! You don't get to just walk out, Maggie. This is a relationship. You're the one who told me not to push my feelings down, so... now it's your turn.

  Maggie Sawyer : You want... you want to know?

  Alex Danvers : Yeah.

  Maggie Sawyer : Okay, yeah, fine. When I told you that my parents were supportive of my coming out, I lied.

  Alex Danvers : What?

  Maggie Sawyer : I had this friend when I was fourteen, Elisa Wilkey. We'd hang out in her parents' basement, watching horror flicks, and smoking cigarettes. I... I... she was the first girl that I knew I liked in a way that was different. And I-I thought that she liked me, too. And so on Valentine's Day, I put a card in her locker, declaring my feelings, and asking her to the dance. Well... she gave that card to her parents. And then they called my parents. And that's how I was outed. And then my dad kicked me out, and I had to live with an aunt for three years.

  Alex Danvers : Maggie, I'm... I'm sorry.

  Maggie Sawyer : Yeah, whatever.

  Alex Danvers : But I don't understand. I mean, why... why didn't you just tell me the truth?

  Maggie Sawyer : I didn't want to scare you. Okay? I wanted it to be better for you.

• Alex Danvers : Black coffee, a sesame seed bagel, dry, double toasted. Gross.

  Maggie Sawyer : Thanks, Danvers. You know me well.

• Maggie Sawyer : What's that?

  Alex Danvers : It's from my mom. It's... it's kind of silly. I mean, she's... she's always made such a fuss about Valentine's Day. Here I am, 28 years old, and she still sends me cards.

  Maggie Sawyer : I always wondered who bought these. Let me see this.

  [taking the card] 

  Maggie Sawyer : "Daughter, thank you for being who you are. You will always be my star." Oh, my god...

  Alex Danvers : I... Yeah, it's-it's kind of cheesy. I mean, Valentine's Day's kind of dumb, right?

  Maggie Sawyer : Well, the ridiculous notion that you need a manfuactured holiday to prove that you care? It just proves that people are patsies willing to throw away money on cheap chocolate and wilted roses. Makes me want to puke. I hate Valentine's Day.

  Alex Danvers : [covering, as her face falls]  Me, too.

  Maggie Sawyer : I knew we were right for each other, Danvers.

• Kara Danvers : I can handle Mxyzptlk, but it's Mon-El who's infuriating. He has some grudge against imps.

  Alex Danvers : Do you think maybe Mon-El's jealous?

  Kara Danvers : [snickering]  Uh, no. Of Mxyzptlk? No. I mean, that would be crazy.

  [entering her loft, they see it covered from ceiling to floor with rose bouquets] 

  Kara Danvers : Though Mxy is persistent.

• Alex Danvers : I need some advice, uh... about Valentine's Day.

  Kara Danvers : Oh, my god, it's your first Valentine's Day with Maggie! That's so exciting! Oh! You have to go Il Palazzo. The bolognese-stuffed calamari is to die for. I'm sure they're booked, but Ms. Grant was a regular, so...

  Alex Danvers : Yeah, well, I-I don't need a reservation, Kara. That's precisely the problem. Um... Maggie hates Valentine's Day.

  Kara Danvers : Well, that's... that's kind of a bummer.

• Alex Danvers : Look, I know. I know it's silly, but after so many Valentine's Days alone, I was just finally excited to be in a relationship where we could celebrate all the cheesy stuff couples celebrate.

  Kara Danvers : That's not silly at all. I'm sure she doesn't really hate Valentine's Day.

  Alex Danvers : She called it a manufactured holiday for patsies.

  Kara Danvers : Okay... okay, so the trimmings aren't her style, but you can celebrate your own way. What kind of stuff does she like?

  Alex Danvers : I don't know. Guns?

  Kara Danvers : [not sure how to respond]  Anything... else?

  Alex Danvers : Well, she loves Scotch. You know, that's, um...

  Kara Danvers : Good.

  Kara Danvers : And, um... oh, she loves tiarmisu. I mean, could eat for every meal, literally. It's like her happy food. And she loves bonsai trees, which I know is totally random, but, I-I mean, I find it adorable.

  Kara Danvers : That's all great. So why don't you create a tailor-made Maggie Valentine's Day? And you can re-invent the holiday for the both of you.

• Kara Danvers : [hearing a commotion outside her apartment]  Parasite!

  Alex Danvers : How is he still alive?

  Kara Danvers : [getting into superhero mode]  I don't know. Stay here.

• Alex Danvers : Hey, I was just about to make my entrance, but I can't without the lights and music. You're not happy.

  Maggie Sawyer : I told you I hate Valentine's Day. What part of that got lost in translation?

  Alex Danvers : I'm... I'm sorry, I just... I thought maybe I could just change your mind.

• Maggie Sawyer : Wow, you're breathtaking.

  Alex Danvers : Maggie, what is all this?

  Maggie Sawyer : It's your belated Valentine's Day prom.

  [offering a corsage] 

  Maggie Sawyer : May I?

• Maggie Sawyer : I'm sorry. So sorry. I was too busy nursing my old wounds, and I forgot to look at the gorgeous woman in front of me and consider her feelings. You deserved all of this as a girl, the pomp and the fuss. And you deserve an amazing romance with the woman who is absolutely crazy about you.

  Alex Danvers : Don't you hate all this?

  Maggie Sawyer : Alex, you're the one woman that could make me like Valentine's Day.
