Quotes 

• Colonel Lauren Haley : Lockwood.

  Ben Lockwood : "Secretary Lockwood" now, of the Cabinet-level Department of Alien Affairs.

  Alex Danvers : Should be inmate 42053 of the National City prison.

  Ben Lockwood : [sarcastic]  So good to see you, too.

• Colonel Lauren Haley : Mr. Secretary, how can we help you?

  Ben Lockwood : I am here to requisition any alien technology or weapons that may assist in containing Supergirl. And then you'll summon Supergirl here.

  Alex Danvers : So you can ambush her?

  Ben Lockwood : So we can serve justice.

  Alex Danvers : Even if we could summon Supergirl, I would need a presidential order to comply with your request, as per paragraph four, subsection A of the DEO charter. Isn't that correct, Colonel?

  Colonel Lauren Haley : That is the protocol.

  Ben Lockwood : Okay, let me ask you a question. Are you absolutely certain that you want to waste my time?

  Colonel Lauren Haley : We may not know each other well, Mr. Lockwood, but I do things by the book, even for Secretaries.

• Ben Lockwood : [unloading a weapon at the DEO]  Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. See if this won't work on Supergirl. Good.

  [handing it off] 

  Ben Lockwood : Don't be shy, gentlemen. This is the good stuff. Nobody fires without my direct order. And if she's smart, she'll come quietly.

  [to Haley] 

  Ben Lockwood : Okay. Summon Supergirl.

  [she presses the signal watch twice] 

  Ben Lockwood : So, h-how long is this supposed to take?

  Querl Dox : Normally less than a minute. But it would appear as though she's gone dark.

  Ben Lockwood : Okay. What did you do?

  Colonel Lauren Haley : I followed your orders.

  Ben Lockwood : [restraining his irritation]  Let's pack it up!

  [his agents begin packing up] 

  Ben Lockwood : Come on, pack it up. All of it. We'll just be taking the weapons with us.

• Ben Lockwood : She destroyed a prison. She outsmarted the DEO. Somehow, she knew we were coming.

  Sarah Walker : She always seems to be one step ahead of us.

  Ben Lockwood : I need people I can trust if you want me to bring her down.

  President Baker : Go ahead. Deputize the Children of Liberty.
