"Supergirl" Alex (TV Episode 2017) - Chyler Leigh as Alex Danvers

Mon-El : How's my girlfriend, guys, huh?

Mon-El : Bank robbers, zero. Supergirl, two. What do you even need cops for in this city?

Alex Danvers : [Maggie is insulted] He's from a different planet. He doesn't even know what he's saying.

Maggie Sawyer : No, he's right. Why bother trying to talk a guy down when Supergirl can just swoop in and force him down? Seventeen hours of "What do you want, how can I help you?", good old-fashioned hostage negotiation wasted.

Kara Danvers : You're not upset that I caught the bad guys and got everyone out safely, are you?

Maggie Sawyer : I would have gotten them to free the hostages.

Kara Danvers : Maybe. But they're in jail now, where they can't hurt anyone. That's all that matters.

Maggie Sawyer : As long as they don't use the Supergirl defense.

Kara Danvers : The what?

Maggie Sawyer : It's a thing some criminals use to get their charges dropped. It's a perfect storm for a defense attorney. Excessive force, evidence contaminated by debris, vigilante justice.

Kara Danvers : Vigilante justice? I stand for hope, and help, and compassion! I... I did what I had to do to get those people out of there.

Alex Danvers : I think what Maggie's trying to say is that what you do is amazing when we're up against...

Maggie Sawyer : A giant purple monster or a half-cyborg murderer, sure. But most of the time, police work requires a more delicate touch.

Kara Danvers : Delicate.

Maggie Sawyer : Yeah. You broke a guy's arm and you gave another one a concussion. And that was after you knocked in the roof of a National City landmark. And now it just has a big Supergirl-sized hole in it.

Kara Danvers : A thousand things could've happened from the time of your call to the hostages walking out. Maybe, yeah, sure, I broke some walls, but I got everyone out of there safely, and that is a win.

Maggie Sawyer : Well, you should have asked. But you never look before you leap.

Kara Danvers : Because I can fly.

Rick Malverne : Oh. You survived.

Winn Schott : Oh, you do not get to talk to her.

Alex Danvers : What are you going to do to him?

J'onn J'onzz : My job. Protect the identity of Supergirl and the DEO.

Alex Danvers : You gonna mind-wipe him?

J'onn J'onzz : Do you object?

Alex Danvers : No. Just, before you do that...

[she turns and gives Rick a hard punch in the nose]

Alex Danvers : ...just make sure he remembers that.

J'onn J'onzz : Will do.

Mon-El : As being something of a superhero myself, I can say that sometimes it's better to punch than... than to... talk.

Kara Danvers : Sometimes talking is more hurtful than punching. Obviously, I've upset you, Maggie. I'm gonna go.

Alex Danvers : No, Kara, don't do that...

Kara Danvers : No, it's fine. Thank you. Thanks for dinner.

Mon-El : [following her out] Babe!

[mouthing to Alex]

Mon-El : Sorry.

Alex Danvers : I know you're upset about earlier, but I really... I just want you and Kara to get along.

Maggie Sawyer : Kara and I get along great. It's Supergirl that I sometimes have trouble with.

Alex Danvers : Okay, just keep trying. Okay?

Maggie Sawyer : Okay, for you, yeah.

Alex Danvers : Great.

Maggie Sawyer : [Alex starts to put on her coat] Where are you going?

Alex Danvers : To catch up with Kara and tell her to try, too. She's just as stubborn as you are.

Alex Danvers : I knew I recognized you from the elevator. I know who you are. The people that I work with, they will find me. And when they do, you will be in a world of hurt. So I am giving you one chance. Free me, now. When I get out of here, I will end you!

Supergirl : Alex.

Alex Danvers : Kara?

Supergirl : Alex!

Alex Danvers : Is that you? Rick Malverne from Midvale, he kidnapped me!

Supergirl : I know. I'm with him right now. Are you okay? Where are you?

Alex Danvers : My... my tracker. Can... can you use my tracker?

Supergirl : It's not working. We don't know what...

Rick Malverne : Okay, that's enough of a reunion, I think.

Alex Danvers : Kara! I-I... I sent out a signal. I thought you were coming.

Supergirl : He re-routed the IP address. He sent us somewhere else. Do you have any idea where you are?

Alex Danvers : I was unconscious. I-I-I could be hours away or I could be in the city. I... I don't know.

Rick Malverne : Alex, it's Rick. I don't want to hurt you. I keep on telling your sister that. Tell her to get my father, and this can all be over. You can come home and get dry.

Alex Danvers : No. Kara, no. You do not give that terrorist what he wants. You cannot let yourself be blackmailed. You cannot open yourself up to that, ever. Do you understand me? Supergirl is bigger than me.

Maggie Sawyer : Babe, everyone here is working hard and we're going to find you.

Alex Danvers : The water is rising fast and there are things that I need to say.

Maggie Sawyer : No. Don't start talking like this is the end.

Alex Danvers : I don't want it to be, but in case that it is...

Maggie Sawyer : It's not! You're a badass, Danvers. And you're gonna figure out a way to get yourself out of there or you're gonna hold on until I find you.

Alex Danvers : Maggie, listen to me, please.

Maggie Sawyer : No. Okay, we just started this, you and me, and it's not going to end. Not today. Not for a long time. We just had our first Valentine's Day and I wanna do more with you. I want more firsts. I want to have first vacation. We haven't even argued about where we're gonna go yet, or... or how to load the dishwasher. Or what to name our first dog. Do you want to get a dog?

Alex Danvers : Yeah, um... let's... let's name her Gertrude.

Maggie Sawyer : See? There's a lifetime of firsts that we're going to do together. So you hold on, okay? Hold on until I get to you.

Maggie Sawyer : [rescuing Alex] You held on.

Alex Danvers : I held on.

Alex Danvers : Hey, you.

Maggie Sawyer : Hey.

Alex Danvers : You okay?

Maggie Sawyer : Am I okay? Are you kidding?

Maggie Sawyer : That was really clever, with the whole Navy SEAL thing with your pants. What was that?

Alex Danvers : Well, I knew I just had to buy a couple seconds. I knew you were coming. You didn't let me finish before, but I, um...

Maggie Sawyer : What?

Alex Danvers : I just really have to say it now.
