Kara Danvers • Supergirl
- Kara Danvers: [seeing Mon-El dressed for work] It fits! It's perfect.
- Mon-El: Yeah?
- Kara Danvers: Yes. Now you just need glasses.
- Mon-El: [putting on a pair of sunglasses] Oh, no, I, uh... I have got that covered, thank you.
- Kara Danvers: [taking them off] No, no, no, no. Like real glasses, like mine. Well, they're not real, but they keep it so no one knows I'm Supergirl.
- Mon-El: I'm pretty sure no one's gonna mistake me for Supergirl.
- Eve Teschmacher: What's your name?
- Mon-El: Mike. Number 49800...
- Kara Danvers: No, no, Mike. You don't need to give her your Social Security number.
- Mon-El: So I memorized that fake ID for nothing?
- Kara Danvers: [pointedly] You mean your real ID?
- Winn Schott: Any of these look familiar?
- Supergirl: That one! That's the gun he was carrying.
- Winn Schott: Okay. That is an Anndrannian Photon Cannon.
- J'onn J'onzz: How'd these guys get their hands on alien technology?
- Alex Danvers: Are you sure they weren't Anndrannian?
- Supergirl: Well, they weren't purple with fins, so, yeah, I'm sure.
- Winn Schott: Oh, you are lucky this thing hit you before it was fully charged. There's no telling what this might've done to you.
- Alex Danvers: When you first arrived at our house, I thought "Finally, I have a sister."
- Kara Danvers: An alien sister.
- Alex Danvers: Even better. But I still wanted you to be just like me. To do everything that I did. I... so I dragged you out to science fairs.
- Kara Danvers: Those were so boring.
- Alex Danvers: Made you watch scary movies.
- Kara Danvers: What do you have against a good old romantic comedy?
- Alex Danvers: Forced you to listen to the music that I liked.
- Kara Danvers: Yeah, your punk rock phase was very strange.
- Alex Danvers: But I finally... I let it go. Let you do your own thing, find your own hobbies, listen to your own weird music.
- Kara Danvers: Wei... uh, *NSync, first of all, is not weird. And second of all, they are amazing.
- Alex Danvers: Mon-El is not you. Just like you're not me. So what works for you might not work for him. You know, people just have to... have to figure out what works for them. Know who they are inside. What they're meant to be.
- Kara Danvers: So you're saying the job and the sweater and the glasses are a bit too much?
- Alex Danvers: Not everyone can rock argyle like you do.
- Winn Schott: Okay, so, the Muon Particle Detector will let us know if there are any weapons within a hundred feet.
- Kara Danvers: Are you sure?
- Winn Schott: Have I ever been wrong before?
- [she gives him a look]
- Winn Schott: Okay. This time I am sure.
- Kara Danvers: I see Lena. Commence Operation Doubtfire.
- Kara Danvers: When I was younger, I had no idea what I wanted to be here on Earth. And I had a family to help me and guide me, but... ultimately I had to make my own choices. And I was trying to impose those choices on you because when you landed, I was-I was just so excited to have someone to take under my wing. To look after. I never got to do that with my cousin. But you are your own man. And your life here on Earth is going to be very different from mine, and that's fine. That's great.
- Mon-El: So, does this mean I don't need to get a job?
- Kara Danvers: You still need to get a job.
- Mon-El: Right.
- Kara Danvers: But just pick something that you like. And I'll be here to help you, however you need me to be. That's what a real mentor does.
- Kara Danvers: So, when I first started working here, I found it helpful to bring coffee to the other assistants to make new friends.
- Mon-El: Ah, bribery, got it. We have that on Daxam.
- Kara Danvers: No, it's not bribery. It's just niceness.
- Kara Danvers: What are those alarms for?
- Mon-El: No, no. They're not alarms, come here. That's a phone. You pick it up and you say "Hello, this is CatCo, how may I help you?". Oh, you definitely want to give Eve Tessmacher a coffee. She is James' assistant, the big boss. Eve, have you met our new intern?
- [immediately smitten, she absent-mindedly drops her pen]
- Eve Teschmacher: [taking the coffee he offers] Uh, thank you so much!
- Kara Danvers: I want to introduce you to our new intern. Mike.
- James Olsen: Right, Mike. Welcome to CatCo.
- Mon-El: Uh, you're... you're the big boss?
- James Olsen: That I am.
- Mon-El: Huh. Kind of expected someone a little more intimidating.
- Mon-El: Why would you take the elevator? It'd be so much quicker to just fly from floor to floor.
- Kara Danvers: [shushing him] Mon-El!
- Mon-El: Mike.
- Kara Danvers: Mike. Mike. Um... I told you a million times, you are never to show your powers to anyone else. That's the whole point of the clothes and the glasses.
- Kara Danvers: This is your desk.
- Mon-El: Wait, so you're saying I can't use my powers to go through this giant pile of boring paper?
- Kara Danvers: No, of course not.
- Mon-El: And you-you're telling me you've never used your powers to do these menial tasks?
- Kara Danvers: [scoffing laugh] Never. No. Not once.
- Mon-El: You-you know, you get this little, uh...
- [indicating the bridge of his nose]
- Mon-El: This little crinkle right up there when you lie?
- Kara Danvers: I don't have a crinkle.
- Mon-El: Yeah, you're crinkling right now.
- Kara Danvers: I don't have a crinkle.
- Mon-El: You're crinkling at the moment.
- Kara Danvers: It's your first phone call. Think you can handle it?
- Mon-El: Yeah.
- [leaning over the phone]
- Mon-El: Hello, this is CatCo. How may I help you?
- [she picks up the ringing receiver and offers it to him]
- Kara Danvers: Hey, thanks again for taking in Mon-El.
- James Olsen: You make him sound like some sort of stray puppy.
- Kara Danvers: He is. He's an outer space stray puppy.
- James Olsen: I gotta admit, I'm a little jealous of him. You know, everything is so brand new and exciting.
- Kara Danvers: Well, I mean, yeah, he's got a lot to learn, though. But he does have me to guide him. He will be an Earthling in no time. Way faster than I was.
- James Olsen: [after a car nearly hits them] That was close.
- Kara Danvers: Yeah, for their car.
- [masked men jump out and run into a nearby bank]
- Kara Danvers: Seriously? Right in front of Supergirl? I almost feel bad for them.
- Supergirl: You do know those bullets aren't going to work on me, right?
- Chet Miner: I'm glad I didn't bring any bullets.
- Supergirl: James, are you okay?
- James Olsen: Yeah.
- Supergirl: Oh, no. Your dad's camera.
- James Olsen: Who were those guys?
- Alex Danvers: It's kind of a coincidence that Cadmus releases a new video just as criminals get their hands on alien weapons.
- Supergirl: Not a coincidence if Cadmus is the one giving them the guns.
- Kara Danvers: James, I don't know what to do. Anndrannian cannons, Pytharian magma bombs. These are weapons that are far more advanced than anything we had on Krypton. Cadmus doesn't care who gets hurt in trying to make sure all aliens get a bad name.
- James Olsen: Yeah, well, I'm sure you and the DEO will figure something out.
- Kara Danvers: Don't sound so defeatest or anything.
- James Olsen: I'm sorry. I just... I just don't feel like there's a lot that I can do to help behind Cat's desk.
- Kara Danvers: You help.
- James Olsen: I couldn't even save my dad's camera.
- Kara Danvers: [seeing Eve's arms overflowing with file folders] Are you turning into Ms. Grant? How much work did you give that girl?
- James Olsen: I didn't give her anything.
- Kara Danvers: Eve. Hey, hey, Eve, let me help you.
- Eve Teschmacher: Oh, thanks, Kara.
- James Olsen: And those were the yearly quarterly reports that Mike was supposed to do.
- Eve Teschmacher: Oh, Mike. He is so nice. He was really struggling with his work and it's his first day. So I was just trying to help him out. He's so nice.
- James Olsen: You want to get this or you want me to get it?
- Kara Danvers: Oh, I want to.
