Quotes
-
Querl Dox : No time like the present to create the future.
-
Nia Nal : I need breakfast. And coffee.
Querl Dox : Yes, this is your pattern, which is why I've prepared accordingly.
Nia Nal : [gasping and getting out of bed] Breakfast burritos!
Querl Dox : With chorizo and crema, as you like. Plus your nitro-coffee with an extra shot of cold brew.
Nia Nal : [through a mouthful of food] This is the best morning ever.
Querl Dox : Best morning ever? But that would include eons, both before and after this moment. I really think you're misusing the ter...
[she kisses his cheek]
Querl Dox : Message received.
-
Alex Danvers : Well, this should help take away the pain temporarily.
Kara Danvers : I don't understand. You think that whoever did this to you was also the person that released Midnight?
J'onn J'onzz : Yes. He said he was my brother. At first, I didn't believe him, but now I know it must be true.
James Olsen : How do you know?
J'onn J'onzz : This is specifically a Martian form of agony. In the early days of Mars, there were two brothers, Phobos and Deimos. Their rivaly and bloodshed was the reason for the split of the Green and White Martians. To prevent this ever happening again, a curse was placed on the Green Martians. We call it Fa'ra'too'rik. It is the punishment for brother attacking brother.
Kara Danvers : But you've never even mentioned having a brother.
J'onn J'onzz : I never knew of one. Seems... unthinkable. But perhaps his existence was hidden from me by my parents.
Alex Danvers : And hidden by the entire Martian community by their hive mind?
Kara Danvers : Well, we're going to find him, but first we need to deal with your pain.
J'onn J'onzz : There is no cure for this on this planet.
Querl Dox : There is in the future. We treat afflicted Euphorians, an alien race with similar brain structure to Martians, with Q waves.
[Kara shrugs her confusion]
Querl Dox : They're narrow waveforms that exist between X and gamma rays. You haven't heard of them because Q waves don't get discovered until sometime in the late dark ages.
Alex Danvers : Actually, uh, Kelly's been using Q waves as part of her brain-computer interface at Obsidian.

Querl Dox : Nia! You are welcome. I assume you received the pizza delivery.
Nia Nal : Thank you for the pizzas, but my dress is bursting at the seams, and I'm pretty sure I have heartburn.
Querl Dox : Hmm, yes. My heart also burns.
Nia Nal : You're not listening to me.
Querl Dox : But this morning you said "I love this." Remember "best morning ever"?
Nia Nal : I... I did, I do. I just... I appreciate all the stuff you're doing to make me happy. But I love lots of things. I love... stupid buddy comedies and Taylor Swift, and quiet nights, and poetry, and just spending time with you.
Querl Dox : I love that, too.
Nia Nal : So you'll chill on the food?
Querl Dox : Indeed. But just to be clear, "chill" doesn't mean you want gelato or a nice, chilled shrimp cocktail, correct?
Nia Nal : No more food. Hot or cold.

Alex Danvers : That was Kelly on the phone. J'onn's okay. His pain is gone.
Supergirl : Well, that's a relief. Are you finding anything?
Querl Dox : Negative. I lost his signal when he and the White Martian phased out of the sewer. I will reconfigure his signature to include both Green and White Martian energy.
Alex Danvers : Great. Then we'll get back to the DEO.
Querl Dox : Wow.
Alex Danvers : What?
Querl Dox : I'm sorry. You smell.
[Alex scoffs]
Querl Dox : But you smell of sewer.
[Kara snickers]
Querl Dox : Maybe a change of clothes could help.
Alex Danvers : Wow.
Supergirl : He's not wrong about the smell.
Alex Danvers : Okay. Well, y'all smell, too. How about that?
-
Querl Dox : I've just reconfigured all possible energy signatures based on J'onn's DNA.
Alex Danvers : Oh, you really are on top of it all, Brainy.
Querl Dox : I really am, aren't I? I began this morning by executing a perfect breakfast for Nia Nal. She called it "the best morning ever". And as of ten minutes ago, she's having an even better afternoon. She's welcome. You see, the key to a good relationship is knowing each other fully.
Alex Danvers : Mm, I don't know if that's really true.
Querl Dox : Your voice just went up two octaves. Is everything all right?
Alex Danvers : Everything is great. Except I almost... kind of poisoned Kelly this morning. That was just a silly mistake.
Querl Dox : Sounds like a deadly mistake.
Alex Danvers : I didn't know she was allergic to blueberries, okay? How could I? She never told me that. And then I started thinking "Okay, well, what else hasn't she told me? What else might I accidentally kill her with?", because... I really like her, Brainy, like... like, a lot. And I don't wanna kill her.
Querl Dox : You and Kelly are still in the "getting to know you" stage.
Alex Danvers : Okay, but that's what I'm talking about. When did this happen? When did my feelings for Kelly get so strong, and how could I possibly feel this way about somebody that I barely know?
Querl Dox : From what I've learned, the heart is not logical.
-
Querl Dox : Dearest Nia. Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Nia Nal : Brainy, what...? Why are you doing all this?
Querl Dox : Nia, I heard you loud and clear. From now on, I will shower you with poetry.
Nia Nal : O... oh!
Querl Dox : Have no fear. Even without spicy tuna, I will venture to make each day the best day ever. Which is theoretically impossible. But... you make me want to do the impossible.
Nia Nal : Brainy, you are adorable. But sometimes you are the dumbest smartest person I know.
