Alex Danvers : So, tomorrow Maggie and I are gonna go do the tasting for the wedding. Uh, three hours of hors d'oeuvres, and nothing but hors d'oeuvres. There's potsickers and oyster shooters, pigs in blankets. Did I mention the potstickers? Do you wanna...?
Supergirl : Uh, if I'm not busy, sure.
Alex Danvers : Well, we're all gonna meet at the bar beforehand, too, so if you want to...
Supergirl : I'll try.
Winn Schott : [watching her leave] I mean, I thought it was bad when she skipped pizza night, but skipping free apps? I mean, come on. These are, like, the beginning of the dark days.
J'onn J'onzz : Hey, come on. Grief doesn't have a deadline.
Winn Schott : Look, I know, but I mean she goes from being little miss sunshine to... well, Alex, basically.
Alex Danvers : What? I'm not like that.
J'onn J'onzz : Come on, Alex. Your unrelenting seriousness is one of your best qualities.
Alex Danvers : I'm not like that. I'm not!

Supergirl : I should have cuffed him.
Alex Danvers : You knocked him a hundred yards into the roof that SUV. Not to mention saving my fiancée and I.
Winn Schott : Yeah, and that truck was full of aluminum tubing, right? Which doesn't really seem like much until you use it to build an illegal nuclear centrifuge.
J'onn J'onzz : This is a big win, Supergirl.
Supergirl : It's not a win until they're behind bars. Let's get this guy.
-
Winn Schott : Hey, how much longer do we have to keep giving her space?
Alex Danvers : I don't know how much more space I can give.
J'onn J'onzz : As frustrating as this is...
Alex Danvers : Beyond.
J'onn J'onzz : ...we're not the ones who lost someone. I think patience is the least we can offer her.
-
Alex Danvers : You've always been like a father to me, and, J'onn, I... I choose you to be my family. And I want, if you will, to have you walk me down the aisle.
[he chokes up and tears start to well in his eyes]
Alex Danvers : Stop. Don't cry. If you cry, I'm gonna cry, and then everybody here's gonna know that we actually can cry. So...
J'onn J'onzz : Uh... Alex, it would... it would be my honor.
-
J'onn J'onzz : [one the phone] And just when exactly were you going to notify us that you had a Damaxmite warship in your possession? Alien artifacts are the DEO's purview. You can rest assured I will talk to the president, General Lane. And if anything happens as a result of your overreach, you mark my words, she'll have your stars.
Winn Schott : Respect.
J'onn J'onzz : Whilst I appreciate the nod of confidence, Agent Schott, do you have any words that might actually help me?
Winn Schott : Words, no. Pictures, definitely.

J'onn J'onzz : That's a high-pressure regulator. Aluminum rods were just a cover. That was his real target.
Alex Danvers : What would DuBois need it for?
Winn Schott : Well, he also stole a cloaking device from the Daxamite ship.
J'onn J'onzz : And how exactly do those two things go together?
Alex Danvers : With the regulator, he could stabilize the internal pressure of an F-18 or a B-52 to withstand the force emitted by a cloaking shield.
Winn Schott : Wait. Able to retrofit it into a fully-cloaked aircraft. Our... our equipment would not be able to detect that. Not even Supergirl's x-ray vision could pick it up.
Alex Danvers : He could drop a nuke from the sky and nobody in National City would even know he was overhead.
Winn Schott : Until it was too late.

Supergirl : J'onn, can you locate DuBois telepathically?
J'onn J'onzz : I'll try.
[his eyes turn red as he searches]
J'onn J'onzz : I can't sense DuBois' mind.
Winn Schott : I don't get it. They're... cloaking device should not be able to cloak a missile.
J'onn J'onzz : Then what just hit us and where did it come from?
Supergirl : [looking out at the waterfront] The pressure regulator wasn't meant for high altitude. It was meant for low altitude. They're underwater.

J'onn J'onzz : You know, I rarely flew on Mars. It was for battle, not pleasure. When I first came to Earth, I spent hours up in the sky. It was the only place I could feel... empty.
Supergirl : Well, that's not what I'm doing up here.
J'onn J'onzz : Forgive me for saying, but you seem to be courting emptiness of late, and that's not you.
Supergirl : I tried to be Kara Danvers for fifteen years, but I'm not supposed to be her. I'm not supposed to be human.
J'onn J'onzz : But you have a human heart now. It aches, it scars, but it keeps on beating. If you try and cut it out, you will lose something essential.
Supergirl : I can't help people if I'm broken.
J'onn J'onzz : You are not broken. You're the strongest person I know. You saved me, remember? You taught me that my loss made me stronger. That was Kara Danvers, not Supergirl.
