- Cat Grant: Kiera, call Harrison Ford and tell him I'm flattered, but once and for all, I do not date older men, especially when they're married.
- Maxwell Lord: The Man of Steel brought to his knees all because he went to kindergarten and watched "Sesame Street".
- Supergirl: This doesn't look like victory to me. And all you doing is betraying her. I was with Astra in her final moments. We forgave each other, we paid respect to our blood bonds. She didn't want this.
- Non: Of course she did. It's what everyone wants, is it not? Peace on Earth. Goodwill towards men.
- Cat Grant: It's a lot less like Christmas out there and more like "Dawn of the Dead".
- Eliza Danvers: So, Mars... I have to ask, underneath it all, are you a little green man?
- Hank Henshaw: I'm a big green man, actually.
- Eliza Danvers: Ha! And how are you able to change form? Is it an enzyme or some other chemical catalyst your body secretes that allows you to reorganize your DNA? And how do you adjust for the change in body density? How does your respiratory system process the increased oxygen and nitrogen present in our air that...
- [he laughs]
- Eliza Danvers: What? What is so funny?
- Hank Henshaw: Like mother, like daughter.
- Supergirl: There he is! There he is.
- Cat Grant: Who? Superman? Where?
- [sees Superman suddenly drop down from the sky]
- Supergirl: What? What? Oh, God. No!
- Cat Grant: What is it?
- Supergirl: Myriad. It's affecting my cousin too.
- Cat Grant: Myriad? Wait a minute, if it's affecting Superman, then are any of us safe?
- Maxwell Lord: Well, I may not be Superman, but... I do have my moments. Do Kryptonians gloat? Because I'll bet wherever he is, ol' Uncle Non is feeling pretty good about himself.
- Maxwell Lord: Good. You changed your mind. I was starting to regret saving it in the first place. For the record, I seriously thought the two of us would be having a lot more fun during Armageddon.
- Cat Grant: Oh, Max, we're not here to talk about your bomb. Supergirl has a plan.
- Maxwell Lord: Which means Cat browbeat you.
- Supergirl: 'Inspired' is closer to the truth.
- Cat Grant: I'm a muse, Max. To the world.
- Maxwell Lord: So, what's your plan?
- Supergirl: Hope.
- Maxwell Lord: You know what? I'm gonna go with the plan that has the bomb to kill the bad guys.
- Supergirl: No bomb. No one dies.
- Maxwell Lord: You think I wanna do this? It's the only way to win.
- Supergirl: What? What are we winning? Causing more chaos? More destruction? More lives lost? You hated me for months, because you thought I'd use my power indiscriminately, kill people with no regard for their lives. That is exactly the choice you're making with this bomb.
- Maxwell Lord: [to Cat] Please tell me you've had enough analysis to know that she's right.
- Supergirl: You were afraid of me. Now you're afraid of Non. I understand that fear. But we cannot let it drive our actions. Make another choice that honors your parents. And mine.
- Maxima: Do you value your life so little you won't fight back?
- Lucy Lane: Myriad has begun on Earth. Non calls you to his legions. You will be the kings and queens of this world, once you swear your fidelity to him.
- Maxima: Since Superman refused to honor of marrying me... I will pledge allegiance to your Non.
- Eliza Danvers: Alex, I know how brave you are, but you cannot fight this.
- Alex Danvers: Yes. Yes, we can. I remember the last time I watched my father walk out that door. It was the worst day of my life. Not finding out whether or not he was coming back, but watching him go. Knowing that whatever happened next, I had no say. That is not me.
- Non: Kara Zor-El will no longer be a problem.
- Indigo: Is she dead or isn't she?
- Non: I could have killed her. But that would have spared her the agony of losing everyone she loves. I thought it would please you.
- Indigo: You've always known how to please me. Now, it's time for us to consider what's next.
- Non: Next, we go to Metropolis. Then to Opal City, Central City, Washington, D.C.
- Indigo: You sound like a cut-rate politician running for office. The small dreams of a small man. Not worthy of you.
- Non: Already, the humans in this city have cast away their differences and are working towards the salvation of their planet. For a lesser species, they are surprisingly creative. They show exceptional ingenuity.
- Indigo: All the better to serve you. And yet, you falter.
- Non: I am the Lord of Earth.
- Indigo: You could be the Lord of the Universe. Don't you realize what you have? You've created a force that could take over the galaxy. A vast army that exists only to do your bidding. You want to take one planet and turn it into your fiefdom, when you have an entire universe crying out to be ruled by you. To worship you as I do.
- Supergirl: My mother was faced with this decision on Krypton. To act or do nothing. And she chose wrong. I love her, but she didn't save Krypton like she promised. And my planet died. My culture. My home. My parents. Everything was just wiped from the stars.
- Indigo: Stand down. Or I'll scrape her brain from her skull.
- Alex Danvers: J'onn, don't listen to her. Just... find Supergirl. Save the city. No! No!
- Indigo: Endangered. Now extinct. I do love wiping out a species. And you're next, human.
- Cat Grant: Why am I not surprised that your brain is intact, Max? What is it they say? Only cockroaches will survive the Apocalypse.
- Maxwell Lord: Happy to see you too, Cat. You look lovely, considering the end is nigh.
- Maxwell Lord: What I didn't tell your dear old sis... is that I warned them about those suits. I knew they wouldn't hold up. I begged them, and the CDC, to scrap them, but
- [scoffs]
- Maxwell Lord: no one would listen to me. The know-it-all. I swore, from that moment on, that if I could protect people, if I could save them, I wouldn't wait for permission. I would act. Just like you do every time you jump out the window and save the day. We act... you and I. We're more alike than you think.
- Supergirl: I hope not.
- Maxwell Lord: I'll be in my facility getting the bomb ready.
- Cat Grant: Now, I can't tell you what to do, Supergirl, but if you've taught me anything, you've taught me that hope is stronger than fear.
- [chuckles]
- Cat Grant: And that is what I think of every time I look at that.
- [reaches out towards that bold emblem on Kara's chest]
- Cat Grant: You've changed me.
- [nods]
- Cat Grant: And I am not easy to change.
- [shakes her head]
- Cat Grant: And I believe that you can change everyone out there. Not with violence, not with fear. Just be Supergirl.
- [Kara smiles]
- Cat Grant: That's all anyone ever needed from you.
- Supergirl: Thank you, Cat.
- [hugs her]
