Nicole Maines: Nia Nal

Quotes 

• 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.

• Nia Nal : Kara, you need to get here immediately. Ms. Rojas is on a rampage, and she won't start the editorial meeting until everyone's present.

  Kara Danvers : I'm on my way.

  [hanging up] 

  Kara Danvers : You guys get J'onn to Kelly.

  Alex Danvers : Okay. And I'll have the DEO start a broadband scan for Green Martians ASAP.

  Kara Danvers : [he groans in pain]  J'onn, we're gonna find your brother.

• 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.

• Supergirl : Oh, hey, Nia. What is it?

  Nia Nal : Kara, Ms. Rojas is furious. Where are you?

  Supergirl : On my way.

  [to Alex] 

  Supergirl : I'll stay with J'onn tonight in case his brother comes back. But I have to do some damage control at CatCo first.

• Kara Danvers : Whoa! You have a bento box fort.

  Nia Nal : Yup. Yeah, I do.

  Kara Danvers : Can I have some?

  Nia Nal : Yes.

  Kara Danvers : I'm starving.

  Nia Nal : Yes, please, take them all. I'm still stuffed from breakfast.

  Kara Danvers : Well, let me guess, is this Brainy?

  Nia Nal : This morning, he brought me my favorite breakfast, and it was perfect, but I don't know. Isn't this... a little excessive?

  Kara Danvers : Um, maybe giving food is Brainy's language of love, I don't know.

  Nia Nal : Well, I think I just need to tell him in plain English that this is 35 boxes of sushi too much love.

  Kara Danvers : Yeah, that sounds like a very healthy and mature thing to do, but I'm gonna enjoy this while it lasts.

• 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.
