• Kara Danvers : Ms. Grant, what is wrong?

  Cat Grant : What could be wrong? I've followed everyone of my passions, I've achieved everything I've ever wanted to achieve, and I'm at the top of my game. The question is,

  [mispronounces:] 

  Cat Grant : Kara, what the hell is wrong with you? You're young, brilliant, and you have the world at your feet. You have the man you pined for, any job you wish for, and you stand there, blinking like a doe in the headlights. Frozen.

  Kara Danvers : I'm...

  [shakes her head] 

  Kara Danvers : Yeah, you know what? You're right, Ms. Grant. You are absolutely right. In some areas of my life,

  [shrugs] 

  Kara Danvers : I feel so strong and confident, and then in...

  [sighs] 

  Kara Danvers : every other area...

  [slumps] 

  Kara Danvers : Career, love, I... I do not know what to do.

  Cat Grant : Dive.

  Kara Danvers : What do you mean, like... like into a lake?

  Cat Grant : You're standing on the shore, afraid to dive into the new waters, and you're afraid because you don't wanna say goodbye to the mild-mannered, lovelorn Kara Danvers, the sweet and dutiful assistant to Cat Grant. You are standing there, looking out at your options, the icy blue water, the fast-flowing river, and the choppy sea. And they all look very appealing to you, because you're dying to go for a swim, but you know the water is going to be cold, and the journey is going to be hard, and when you reach the other side, you will have become a new person. And you're scared to meet that new version of yourself. Now, we all get used to our own personas, and we're used to our own comfort zones, but, trust me, in order to live, we must keep daring. Keep diving.

  Kara Danvers : [nods]  Thank you, Ms. Grant.

• Cat Grant : [dissatisfied with her snack]  Ms. Teschmacher!

  Eve Teschmacher : [comes running up fearfully]  Yes, Ms. Grant?

  Cat Grant : Does this dressing look drizzled on?

  Eve Teschmacher : Yes.

  Cat Grant : No! No, this lettuce is drowning. It's floating on a sea of ranch like little Kate Winslet in Titanic. Get it out of my sight.

  [as the new girl grabs the offending dish and scurry off, to Kara:] 

  Cat Grant : This is the best replacement for you, you could come up with?

  Kara Danvers : Just give her a chance, please. She is so smart and sweet. She went to Yale.

  Cat Grant : So did George Bush.
