Quotes
-
James Olsen : I knew Ms. Grant was meant for great things, but National City's gonna miss her.
Kara Danvers : Best press secretary since Robert Gibbs.
James Olsen : Yeah, she makes Gibbs look like a hall monitor.
Kara Danvers : Yeah. With Ms. Grant in D.C. and Snapper on sabbatical, it's going to be oddly congenial around here.

Lena Luthor , James Olsen : [when Morgan Edge takes credit for himself] Let's not forget about Supergirl.

James Olsen : I'm worried about you, Kara. A-at a certain point in time, I have to be your boss.

James Olsen : What, ask you to do your job?
Kara Danvers : I am doing my job!
James Olsen : No, Supergirl's doing her job. Kara Danvers has been completely off the radar.
Kara Danvers : Oh, I'm sorry, James. I've... I've been a little busy, you know. The world's not gonna save itself.
James Olsen : But you still have a life. Okay? You still have a job, as a reporter. And that life makes you you.
Kara Danvers : No, what makes me me is Supergirl. That's who I am at my core. And... and you're one to talk, Guardian.
James Olsen : Okay. Guardian means a lot to me. But so does James Olsen. And he runs CatCo, and that job's important.

Kara Danvers : If I'm expected to put Supergirl on hold just to write this article for you, then maybe being a reporter isn't a good idea.
James Olsen : What are... what are you saying?
Kara Danvers : I'm saying I have important things to do, but not here at CatCo. Not as a reporter, not as Kara Danvers.
James Olsen : Kara, don't do this.
Kara Danvers : I quit.
