Quotes 

• Kara Danvers : While some feel Corto Maltese is to blame for the recent hostilities, others say it's Kaznia's economic sanctions that started the tension. Will you admit there's some truth to that?

  William Dey : [with an exaggerated accent]  My opinion is not the issue. What matters is the actions of the countries involved. Next question.

  Kara Danvers : Uh... okay. I guess...

  William Dey : [normally]  Don't let them duck the question. Make them confront it.

  Andrea Rojas : [approaching]  William is absolutely right. Especially since I just arranged for an off-the-books meeting between you and the chief Kaznian treaty negotiator.

  Kara Danvers : What?

  Andrea Rojas : His other plans got canceled because of this ridiculous dome. Meeting's at 2:00 this afternoon at Noonan's on Main.

  Kara Danvers : Yeah, of course. Yes, I will be there. Thank you.

  William Dey : You really are having a day of days.

• William Dey : What they did with that dome was madness.

  Kara Danvers : What who did?

  William Dey : The Super Friends. I know they mean well and they're dealing with Nxyly on top of everything else, but, I mean, they did erect a dome over half the city without consulting anyone.

  Kara Danvers : Yeah, but there was no time to. That creature was gonna destroy a nuclear plant.

  William Dey : Of course. I'm not arguing that. But now I'm hearing stories that employees are being cut off from work. Parents separated from children. I just hope the Super Friends' recent success hasn't gone to their head.

  Kara Danvers : No, it hasn't. It hasn't. They can handle this. Just like I can handle you, President Zakharov.

• William Dey : I think that is the fastest I've ever seen anyone watch a video.

  Kara Danvers : Yeah, it's 1.5 speed. It gets easier to follow once you're used to it. What's up?

  William Dey : Well, I heard about your scoop and I wanted to offer my services as a partner for mock interviews. Back in London, I was the Times' point man on Kaznia, but I also did a big piece on the corruption in Corto Maltese.

  Kara Danvers : Yeah, that'd be great. And I will take you up on as many practice interviews as I can get.

  [her phone chimes, and she sees a text from Brainy that Nxyly has been spotted] 

  Kara Danvers : Starting this afternoon. Because right now, I'm researching. That is the cardinal rule of interviewing. Research, research, research.

• J'onn J'onnz : Governor, you're making a big mistake. If you breach the dome, the creature might run. And then we may never find it until it does who knows what sort of damage. We are on the verge of being able to send it back. Governor?

  Alex Danvers : [he hangs up]  What's up?

  J'onn J'onnz : Apparently, the governor has been liaising with the Air Force. In one hour, the LuthorCorp satellites that have been sustaining the dome will be shut down. A division of National Guardsmen will charge in.

  Alex Danvers : Okay, well, one hour is within the time frame that Lena said she and Brainy would be done.

  Supergirl : So we can still do this?

  J'onn J'onnz : Yeah.

  William Dey : [coming in]  But first, I think you need to do something.

  Supergirl : William, what are you doing here?

  William Dey : My contact at the Capitol told me about the governor's plan, so I thought I'd come here to get a statement that might help bring down the heat. The governor is scared. The people are scared. In the past few weeks, this city has seen buildings explode, giant cats, mass riots, and now a dome, with Nxyly and a nightmare monster. What everyone needs is to hear a calm and clear voice.

  Alex Danvers : William, J'onn and I are more than happy to make a statement...

  William Dey : Supergirl was there when the dome went up. The people need to hear from the Girl of Steel herself.

  Supergirl : [hesitant]  I don't have time to make comments. I'm sorry.

• Kara Danvers : I messed up, William. Big time.

  William Dey : Having a dome over half the city has a way of disrupting plans. What can you do?

  Kara Danvers : I just feel like there's never enough time in the day to get everything done. And then when I am able to check everything off, I still... I-I wake up the next day and realize there's more to do. It just never ends and... I'm drowning. And I'm worried I'm bringing everyone around me down.

  William Dey : No. Today was a bad day. But you are allowed those once in a while.

  Kara Danvers : I don't know that I am.

  William Dey : May I remind you of something you told me Cat Grant once said? "You can have it all. You just can't have it all at the same time." So maybe ask yourself... what does Kara Danvers want right now? When you figure that out, all you need to do is not stop until you get it.
