Quotes 

• Kara Danvers : I don't know who you are or how you got here...

  [she tries to pronounce his name] 

  Mr. Mxyzptlk : Mxyzptlk. It's spelled like it sounds.

• Kara Danvers : I'm flattered, but I'm not gonna marry you, Mxyzptlk.

  Mr. Mxyzptlk : That's funny. I'm all-seeing and all-powerful, but that's one of the few things I can't make you do. That and make you fall in love with me, and/or stop you from killing yourself, and/or make you drink orange juice for some reason. Anything else, yes, but go figure.

  Kara Danvers : Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I'm just not interested.

  Mr. Mxyzptlk : Don't be sorry, buttercup. I know what you're doing. You're playing hard to get, which is utterly charming and delightful, by the way.

  Kara Danvers : What? No. No, I... I'm not.

  Mr. Mxyzptlk : You're flustered. You're confused. Your heart is racing. I have that effect on women.

• Mon-El : I don't know how you got to this planet, but she's with me.

  Mr. Mxyzptlk : The other suitor! I didn't see you there, tall, dark and bland-some. You're barely there, let alone my romantic rival.

  Kara Danvers : [Mon-El tries to hit him]  No!

  Mon-El : [as Mxy vanishes]  What...

  Mr. Mxyzptlk : [reappearing]  Invisible is a good look on you. Let's play to your strengths.

  J'onn J'onzz : [seeing him appear in the DEO in nothing but his underwear]  Mon-El?

  Mon-El : Hey. Hey.

  [under his breath] 

  Mon-El : I'm gonna kill him.

• Mr. Mxyzptlk : I offered you the world, Kara Zor-El. Anything you wanted. And you reject it all? I could have made you a god, like me.

  Supergirl : I don't want to be a god, Mxy. I just want you off of Earth.

• Supergirl : You can't stop me from killing myself. It's in the rules.

  Mr. Mxyzptlk : Okay. There... there's only room for one crazy person in this relationship. Maybe we should just, um, you know, control-alt-delete this, and, uh, we can talk it over with a cup of Thoni tea.

  Supergirl : Being with you would mean being at odds every day with my heart, Mxyzptlk. I'd rather die in here than be with you.

  Mr. Mxyzptlk : Well, here's the thing. I'm calling your bluff. I don't believe you'd destroy all of this.

  [rubble begins to fall] 

  Mr. Mxyzptlk : Okay, please. I'll do anything. Just don't die.

  Supergirl : I'm sorry. I-I'm not going to tell you the cancellation code.

  Mr. Mxyzptlk : So there's a code?

  [hurrying over to a panel and seeing the writing is all Kryptonian] 

  Mr. Mxyzptlk : I can't read this.

• Kara Danvers : Just start again and start slow. Where are you from?

  Mr. Mxyzptlk : Well, they call me the interdimensional man about town. It doesn't matter where I'm from, sweetcheeks. So let's get this knot tied.

  [with his powers, he conjures a wedding dress] 

  Kara Danvers : What is...? Are you crazy? You can't just put me in a wedding dress.

  Mr. Mxyzptlk : Why not? It's Vera Wang.

• Mon-El : I've come to challenge you, Mxyzptlk.

  Mr. Mxyzptlk : A Daxamite duel. I never had one of those before. For Kara's hand?

  Mon-El : Yes.

  Mr. Mxyzptlk : To the death?

  Mon-El : Yes.

  Mr. Mxyzptlk : I accept.

  Mon-El : Good. But first...

  Mr. Mxyzptlk : [interrupting him]  Buddy, if we're gonna take part in a proper duel, we're gonna do it like the gentlemen that we are.

  [Mxyzptlk snaps his fingers, and Mon-El is transported to a theater stage, appearing in Revolutionary War garb] 

  Mon-El : What the...?

  Mr. Mxyzptlk : How do you like the duds, monsieur Hamilton? I'm a Burr man myself. He gets a bad rap, but let's be honest. He was the one who knew his way around a pistol.

• Mr. Mxyzptlk : Let me tell you how this works. I chose you as my mate, and now I will wow you with breathtaking feats of ardor until you fall madly in love with me. And fear not, Kara Zor-El, you will fall in love with me. Once you've been adored by all-powerful Mxy, there's no going back, see? Ciao, mio amore.

• Mr. Mxyzptlk : You're lucky I flew in when I did, Supergirl. I mean, do you think this fraud could have helped you save the day? What superpower? I guess he could have leaped over Parasite like a gazelle.

  Supergirl : Hey, that's...

  Mon-El : Oh, would you like to see my superpower? 'Cause I will just rip you apart with my bare hands right here if you're interested in that.

  Mr. Mxyzptlk : Spoken like a true Daxamite. You're nothing but a thug. I mean, this goddess, she requires a man who's equal in her powers and wits. Who can come to her aid when villains suddenly pop up.

  Supergirl : Wait. The... Parasite. This-this was all you?

  Mon-El : Don't you... don't you see what he's doing here? He-he's creating havoc so that he can play the... hero and then impress you.

  Mr. Mxyzptlk : What's wrong with that? She's been slumming it with you for so long, she doesn't realize what's out there.

  Mon-El : Why don't you just say your name backwards, buddy, and just-just zap back to wherever you came from, okay?

  Supergirl : Wait, wait, wait, wait. That's how you send him away?

• Supergirl : What is it going to take to get you off this planet?

  Mr. Mxyzptlk : It's like I said. It's going to take two little words: "I. Do." Or things will get very bad for your world.

• Mr. Mxyzptlk : Pistols at dawn! So revolutionary. I love it.

  Mon-El : So if I shoot you with this, you'll die?

  Mr. Mxyzptlk : That is generally how these things work, yes. But don't throw away your shot, because you'll only get one.

  Mon-El : I only need one.

  [cocking his pistol, he shoots Mxyzptlk; after reacting in pain, Mxy laughs] 

  Mr. Mxyzptlk : Did you really think I would hand you a loaded gun that could actually kill me? Oh, you Daxamites really are thick, aren't you?

• Mr. Mxyzptlk : You may have cut me off from the fifth dimension, Daxamite, but I still know a thing or two about the old fisticuffs.

• Mon-El : How could you ever think she'd want to be with someone like you?

  Mr. Mxyzptlk : Why, do you think she wants to be with you? Face it, what have you got to offer her? I can give her anything. There's no contest between you and me, and you know it. I'm a god and you're a loser.

  Mon-El : You're a dead man.

  Mr. Mxyzptlk : [revealing he has the Fifth Dimension amulet]  Strike that. Reverse it.

• Mr. Mxyzptlk : I hear you're allergic to lead.

  Supergirl : [speeding in]  Stop!

  Mon-El : Kara.

  Mr. Mxyzptlk : Sweetheart. This volatile maniac tried to kill me! It'll be better for all of us once I snuff him out.

  Supergirl : I'll marry you!

  Mr. Mxyzptlk : You will?

  Mon-El : You will?

  Supergirl : Yes. I've thought about it, and... and you're right. You're gifted, brilliant, and together we can do anything. Take me as your wife.

  Mr. Mxyzptlk : Darling, you and I are going to be the ultimate power couple.

  Mon-El : Kara, no.

  Mr. Mxyzptlk : [vanishing him, leaving only his restraints]  He talks too much. Let's get this show on the road. I'll get our officiant. You want the Pope, a Lubavitcher Rabbi?

• Supergirl : It would mean the world to me if I followed proper Kryptonian custom and got married on the soil of my people.

  Mr. Mxyzptlk : [about to snap his fingers]  Kryptonian soil coming up.

  Supergirl : No, no! I meant... I meant the Fortress of Solitude. I'll wear my mother's dress. So meet me there tomorrow at noon.

  Mr. Mxyzptlk : I'll see you soon...

  [kissing her on the cheek] 

  Mr. Mxyzptlk : Wife.

• Mr. Mxyzptlk : Where's the dress? The... the flowers? The pigs in blankets

  Supergirl : [drinking from a glass of orange juice]  Mm. Ahh. See, that's the thing, Mxy. I'm not going to marry you.

  Mr. Mxyzptlk : What do you mean?

  Supergirl : I brought you to the Fortress in case you got violent again. 'Cause I didn't want anyone to get hurt when I broke the news. It's not going to work between us. Ever.

  Mr. Mxyzptlk : But you said... You don't love me?

  Supergirl : Love isn't making demands of someone, or forcing them to marry you. Love is putting someone else's needs above your own.

  Mr. Mxyzptlk : So you brought me all the way up here just to reject me?

  [snapping his fingers] 

  Mr. Mxyzptlk : I think you're going to have to explain your catastrophic lack of judgment to your family.

  [as a statute comes to life] 

  Mr. Mxyzptlk : What's that, Uncle Jor-El? If you have to hold Kara down 'till she sees reason and becomes my bride, you will?

• Mr. Mxyzptlk : You think this is the worst it can get? One snap and I'll crack your world in half. Then where will you go, Kryptonian? I'll hound you across the stars, Kara, until you admit that you love me.

  Supergirl : I'm done with this, Mxyzptlk. And I'm done with you. You wanna get nuts? Let's get nuts.

  Mr. Mxyzptlk : What are you doing?

  Supergirl : Setting the Atomic Cauldron to self-destruct.

  Mr. Mxyzptlk : The Atomic what, now?

• Supergirl : The Fortress has one of the most powerful fusion furnaces on Earth. I'm overloading the Sunstones at its core.

  Mr. Mxyzptlk : Okay, well, Kara. Let's not be too hasty, huh? You know, maybe we should just, um...

  Supergirl : When the Cauldron goes up, it'll explode with the force of a 400-megaton bomb. The Fortress is sealed, so, should contain the blast, but anyone inside it will...

  Mr. Mxyzptlk : This sounds bad.

• Mr. Mxyzptlk : I don't have time to learn your stupid moon language!

  [getting down on his knees] 

  Mr. Mxyzptlk : Please, Supergirl. I'm literally begging you. Don't do this. I'll do anything. You want world peace? You got it. I can make that happen. Just don't kill yourself. The world needs Supergirl.

  [she considers it] 

  Mr. Mxyzptlk : Please. Tell me the code.

  Supergirl : [leading him to the panel and indicating a button]  Push that one.

  Mr. Mxyzptlk : Yes.

  Supergirl : That one. That one. Uh... this one. Press that. That, that, and that.

  Mr. Mxyzptlk : [the self-destruct deactivates]  Yes!

  [seeing the Kryptonian language turn to English] 

  Mr. Mxyzptlk : No. You made me write my name backwards.

  Supergirl : Yep. On some planets, to write something down is to truly say it.

• Mr. Mxyzptlk : You tricked me.

  Supergirl : No. No, I followed the rules. If you say your name backwards, you go back to the Fifth Dimension, no questions asked.

  Mr. Mxyzptlk : That's it, you nasty woman. Now I'm gonna...

  [as he's about to snap his fingers, he sees his arm begin to vanish] 

  Mr. Mxyzptlk : No. It's started. I just wanted... I wanted someone to love me.

  Supergirl : You can't force love, Mxyzptlk. You have to let it find you.

• Supergirl : Superman?

  Mr. Mxyzptlk : [in a Superman-ish outfit]  Not quite.

  Supergirl : [snickering]  Mxy? Are you serious?

  Mr. Mxyzptlk : Well, I thought you could use a little extra help, Supey-Baby.

  Mon-El : Um, hello. I was helping her, so...

  Mr. Mxyzptlk : You? That's a laugh.
