Quotes 

• Hank Henshaw : I have been J'onn J'onzz on Earth. I have tried it. I was hunted for 50 years. People I've loved have tried to kill me once they discovered who I really was.

  Alex Danvers : I'm sorry. But times have changed. Look at Supergirl, the world loves her...

  Hank Henshaw : Your sister looks like a pretty blonde cheerleader. J'onn J'onzz looks like a monster. I will never be tolerated here on Earth. The more time I spend as Hank Henshaw, the less I have to face what I've lost. But when I change my state, shapeshift into someone new, call upon new powers, I get one step closer to becoming the Martian Manhunter forever. And he creates panic and hysteria. I know, I've seen it. It's not only that I'm better off as human. Everyone is.

  Alex Danvers : Except Kara. She needs your help.

• Supergirl : [landing after their flight]  You could feel like that all the time you know. Free. Untethered. True to who you' really are.

  Hank Henshaw : The world needs Hank Henshaw more than it needs J'onn J'onzz.

• Supergirl : You know, when I came out, embraced my powers, finally letting myself be who I was meant to be,

  [chuckles] 

  Supergirl : it turned out to be the best thing I ever did.

  Hank Henshaw : That's you.

  [goes off, and Kara sighs] 

• Alex Danvers : Okay, I've pinpointed the location of Room 52 at Lord Technologies, assuming we can trust James Olsen's intel.

  Hank Henshaw : Superman trusts him. That's good enough for me.

  Alex Danvers : Supergirl trusts him, and that's more than good enough.

  Supergirl : If you're infiltrating Lord Tech, I'm in. Max beat James to a pulp for finding Room 52. What could he be hiding in there?

  Hank Henshaw : We will find out. But it'll require subterfuge and subtlety, not a red cape.

  Alex Danvers : Couldn't it also require a bit of Martian manpower?

  Hank Henshaw : That's not an option.

• Hank Henshaw : If we're gonna get inside Lord Technologies, we cut the power in the rear of the lab and infiltrate the basement.

  Alex Danvers : While the emergency generators kick in and his army pounces on us. This isn't the way in, Hank.

  Hank Henshaw : You have a better idea.

  Alex Danvers : You are the greatest asset that we have and nobody knows about it. All these computers and these weapons, they're nothing compared to you.

  Hank Henshaw : I can't keep using my powers. It's too much of a risk.

  Alex Danvers : It is our job to take risks. We run into the line of fire. We face enemies that no one on this planet has the courage to.

  Hank Henshaw : And the best way for me to fight them is as head of the DEO. I can't be head of the DEO if I'm an alien.

  Alex Danvers : You saw what Max Lord did to James. You know he's after my sister.

• Maxwell Lord : What are you today? CIA? IRS? You wanna see my 1040s?

  Alex Danvers : Shut up and listen. We need to talk. In private. Off the record. Lay everything on the table.

  Maxwell Lord : Sounds remarkably like a date. But what does your boss think?

  Alex Danvers : My boss isn't always willing to take the necessary steps to get things done.

  Maxwell Lord : You're going rogue? How fun. How do I know I can trust you?

  Alex Danvers : You don't.

  Maxwell Lord : See you tonight.

  Alex Danvers : [hanging up]  I'll have him out of Lord Tech until 10:00. But his employees and security are still going to be there.

  Hank Henshaw : I have it covered.

  Alex Danvers : You or J'onn J'onzz?
