"But in secret, I work with my adoptive sister for the DEO to protect my city from alien life and anyone else that means to cause it harm." "I am Supergirl." "Previously on Supergirl..."

"I'm sorry." "I meant to say, who are you?" "According to you, I'm Supergirl." "Trademark pending." "You have questions." "I'm ready to answer them." "Huh." "Do you mind if I record this?" "I suppose not." "Okay." "Supergirl." "Let's start with the generals." "Where are you from?" "I traveled to Earth from my home planet of..." " Krypton?" " KARA:" "Yes." "My parents sent me here where they thought I'd be safe." "(SIGHS) I feel like I've heard this story before." "This is my story." "So, I can assume that all of your powers are the same as the Man of Steel's?" "The flying, the super strength, the freezy breath thing?" "I'm still working on that last one." "Oh, so you're not up to his level yet?" "I wouldn't say that." "So, why are we just hearing from you now?" "I'm not sure I understand the question."

"Bulletproof Coffee." "It's made from unsalted grass-fed butter with an extract of coconut oil that improves brain energy." "I will need a cup of it every hour."

"I'm a writer." "It's like riding a bike, or severe childhood trauma." "You never really lose it." "And I must be pretty decent at it because..." "(CHUCKLES)" "We will be publishing a special issue of our monthly magazine," "The Day After Tomorrow." "It is going to make that Caitlyn Jenner Vani Fai look like a Penny Saver pullout."

" She won't do that." " How do you know that?" "I think..." "I think maybe what she's trying to say is that when people are scared or hurt or in danger, they think of Superman."

"Or how about you go find a certain ex-photojournalist with a penchant for tight shirts who makes you smile more than anyone else I've ever seen do?" "Yeah, that." "(GIGGLING)" "Hey, James, do you have a minute?" "I wanted to ask..." "I'm sorry." "I didn't know you weren't..." "Kara, this is Lucy Lane." "Hey, it's nice to meet you, Kara." "Nice to meet you."
