Quotes 

• Hank Henshaw : I have been J'onn J'onzz on Earth. I have tried it. I was hunted for 50 years. People I've loved have tried to kill me once they discovered who I really was.

  Alex Danvers : I'm sorry. But times have changed. Look at Supergirl, the world loves her...

  Hank Henshaw : Your sister looks like a pretty blonde cheerleader. J'onn J'onzz looks like a monster. I will never be tolerated here on Earth. The more time I spend as Hank Henshaw, the less I have to face what I've lost. But when I change my state, shapeshift into someone new, call upon new powers, I get one step closer to becoming the Martian Manhunter forever. And he creates panic and hysteria. I know, I've seen it. It's not only that I'm better off as human. Everyone is.

  Alex Danvers : Except Kara. She needs your help.

• Alex Danvers : [carrying her high heels, sighs]  Wearing these is just as painful as being punched by a Kryptonian.

• Supergirl : [sighs]  I might have ruined something

  [covers herself with blanket as she settles in for Game of Thrones on TV] 

  Supergirl : and I don't know if I can fix it.

  Alex Danvers : Did he ask you out or kiss you or something, and you freaked out?

  Supergirl : What? How... did you...?

  Alex Danvers : I'm an elite agent with an expertise in analyzing speech patterns and body language.

  [Kara sighs] 

  Alex Danvers : I'm also a human being with eyes.

• Alex Danvers : Okay, I've pinpointed the location of Room 52 at Lord Technologies, assuming we can trust James Olsen's intel.

  Hank Henshaw : Superman trusts him. That's good enough for me.

  Alex Danvers : Supergirl trusts him, and that's more than good enough.

  Supergirl : If you're infiltrating Lord Tech, I'm in. Max beat James to a pulp for finding Room 52. What could he be hiding in there?

  Hank Henshaw : We will find out. But it'll require subterfuge and subtlety, not a red cape.

  Alex Danvers : Couldn't it also require a bit of Martian manpower?

  Hank Henshaw : That's not an option.

• Hank Henshaw : If we're gonna get inside Lord Technologies, we cut the power in the rear of the lab and infiltrate the basement.

  Alex Danvers : While the emergency generators kick in and his army pounces on us. This isn't the way in, Hank.

  Hank Henshaw : You have a better idea.

  Alex Danvers : You are the greatest asset that we have and nobody knows about it. All these computers and these weapons, they're nothing compared to you.

  Hank Henshaw : I can't keep using my powers. It's too much of a risk.

  Alex Danvers : It is our job to take risks. We run into the line of fire. We face enemies that no one on this planet has the courage to.

  Hank Henshaw : And the best way for me to fight them is as head of the DEO. I can't be head of the DEO if I'm an alien.

  Alex Danvers : You saw what Max Lord did to James. You know he's after my sister.

• Maxwell Lord : What are you today? CIA? IRS? You wanna see my 1040s?

  Alex Danvers : Shut up and listen. We need to talk. In private. Off the record. Lay everything on the table.

  Maxwell Lord : Sounds remarkably like a date. But what does your boss think?

  Alex Danvers : My boss isn't always willing to take the necessary steps to get things done.

  Maxwell Lord : You're going rogue? How fun. How do I know I can trust you?

  Alex Danvers : You don't.

  Maxwell Lord : See you tonight.

  Alex Danvers : [hanging up]  I'll have him out of Lord Tech until 10:00. But his employees and security are still going to be there.

  Hank Henshaw : I have it covered.

  Alex Danvers : You or J'onn J'onzz?

• Alex Danvers : You're staring.

  Maxwell Lord : Just wondering where you're hiding your gun under that dress.

  Alex Danvers : Behave, and you won't have to find out.

• Alex Danvers : Why are you so obsessed with her? Is it jealousy? Or are you secretly in love? Or... are you threatened because she's a woman?

  Maxwell Lord : Ah... only a woman would say that.

  Alex Danvers : Mm.
