Jesse Rath: Querl Dox, Brainiac-5

Quotes 

• Supergirl : You're all clear, kid. Now let's blow this thing and go home.

  Brainiac-5 : I assume that's some sort of film reference.

  Supergirl : We never showed you "Star Wars"? Not a single Star War?

• Brainiac-5 : Killing Pestilence saved the future from the Blight. Millions of people were spared. Including my... extremely distant relative. The evil one, who has created a plague to wipe out all AIs other than himself. In short, all AIs are in danger. And I can no longer stay there. The future needs heroes. The future needs leaders.

  Mon-El : The future has leaders.

  Brainiac-5 : The future needs you, Mon-El. To fight. And it needs Winn to take my place in the Legion and save the AIs.

  Winn Schott : Uh... what? No. Okay, rewind. First of all, you've told me hundreds, literally hundreds of times, that I am far below a twelfth-level intellect. And... and... how could I possibly be your replacement?

  [Brainiac places a thin plastic case on the table, which contains an aged piece of paper with the drawing Winn showed to Demos] 

  Winn Schott : How'd you get this? What... what is- what is this?

  Mon-El : That's from the National Archives.

  Brainiac-5 : You're right. And it's Winn's design.

  Winn Schott : The Nat... no. This... they... it... it didn't work! No, it didn't... it couldn't save Demos...

  Brainiac-5 : Regardless of what happened with your friend, this design is the foundation of some of the future's most groundbreaking technology. It has saved countless lives. And this, this dirty piece of paper, is an artifact, treasured centuries from now.

  [sliding the case to Winn] 

  Brainiac-5 : The future needs you.

  [to Mon-El] 

  Brainiac-5 : Both of you.

• Brainiac-5 : You're smiling. That is not good.

  Mon-El : No, actually, Brainy, smiling is, uh... it's a good thing.

  Brainiac-5 : Yes, I know what smiling indicates. But in your case, I ran a simulation, and there is a zero percent chance that you would be smiling after what Imra was supposed to have told you, so...

• Winn Schott : Hey, Brainy. J'onn said that you, uh, want to talk to me.

  Mon-El : Hey, sorry, Winn, just, uh... could you give us a moment? We're just talking about some Legion...

  Brainiac-5 : Oh, no. This involves Winn, as well.

  Winn Schott : [simultaneously with Mon-El]  It involves me?

  Mon-El : It involves him?

  Brainiac-5 : Oh, yes. The Legion needs the both of you.
