Quotes 

• Carter Grant : I met Supergirl. She was amazing. And she was so much prettier in person.

  Cat Grant : Oh. Well... did you notice any of her other attributes?

  Carter Grant : Um, she's super strong...

  Cat Grant : And smart and brave and kind and she saved you all. Tell me, what do you think makes her a hero?

  Carter Grant : I'd say her legs. Definitely her legs.

  [was kidding] 

  Carter Grant : Her heart, Mom.

  [chuckles] 

• Kara Danvers : Ms. Grant, I am so, so sorry. Suddenly, I looked up and he was... he was just gone.

  Cat Grant : I never should have let you take him in the first place.

  Kara Danvers : It was very hard. Really, really very hard. There was work and... and watching Carter and then all this crazy stuff happening around the city. I... I just don't know how you do it, Ms. Grant. I don't understand how you juggle it all.

  Cat Grant : Oh, Kira, you have stumbled upon the most annoying question of the century, and you are so young that you do not even realize it. How do you juggle it all? You learn, that's how. You start with two balls before adding another. I figured out how to be brilliant in business, and then I added being a brilliant mother. Far too many women burn out trying to do too much before they're ready.

  Kara Danvers : So you can have it all?

  Cat Grant : Of course. Just not all at once, and not right away. And not with that hair. Use conditioner, for god's sake.

• Cat Grant : [calling Kara into her office]  Get me a salad for lunch. I don't care what kind, as long as it has a cheeseburger on top.

• Kara Danvers : May I say, Ms. Grant, congratulations! The Siegel Prize, that's huge.

  Cat Grant : I hope not, considering they're going to have to mail it to me. I won't be attending the ceremony.

  Kara Danvers : But this is the first year you've beat Lois Lane.

  Cat Grant : And as much as I would love to rub it in her annoyingly freckled button nose, I don't have anyone to watch Carter.

  Kara Danvers : Did you fire another nanny?

  Cat Grant : No. Ella broke her leg storing my summer sandals.

  Kara Danvers : And your mom?

  Cat Grant : She is living down to my expectations by prioritizing her career over my own.

• Kara Danvers : If you wanted, I could watch Carter overnight.

  Cat Grant : [suspiciously]  What do you want?

  Kara Danvers : You know how sometimes people just want to help other people?

  Cat Grant : Oh, I see. So you think that if you do me this favor, then I will owe you something. This is the first time I've ever seen this quality in you, Ker-rah. I love it. I didn't know you had it in you.

• Cat Grant : [ordering personal assistant Kara about]  Salad. Burger. Rare. Go!
