Mehcad Brooks: James Olsen

Quotes 

• James Olsen : [in Lena's office at L-Corp]  Wow. And I thought I had a nice view from my office.

• James Olsen : Ever think about getting your own place? I mean, you're kinda slumming it here at the moment.

  Lena Luthor : When I first moved to National City, I didn't know if I was gonna stay. Lex was in prison, the company was in shambles. I didn't know if I was gonna put down roots, settle down, in case the city rejected me.

  James Olsen : Well, it's been two years. I think it's safe to say that you can sign your own lease.

  Lena Luthor : Even with Supergirl thinking the worst of me?

  James Olsen : What does she know?

  Lena Luthor : Asking you to spy on me?

  James Olsen : What do I know?

• Lena Luthor : I'm really glad I can tell you my secrets now.

  James Olsen : Of course you can. Me, too.

  [her window suddenly shatters] 

  Reign : Where is the child? Where is Ruby Arias? Where is she...

  Lena Luthor : [repelling her with a Kryptonite aerosol]  You'll never find her.

• James Olsen : Patricia Arias is dead. And Reign killed her. And she absorbed Purity and Pestilence's powers, so she's now more dangerous than ever. Lena, you are going to have to tell Supergirl that you know how to make Kryptonite.

  Lena Luthor : Oh, no, no. James, you know I can't do that.

  James Olsen : Lena, you have to. Okay, Reign is out there killing innocent people, and you are the only one with the means to stop her.

  Lena Luthor : You know what happened when I told Supergirl I had Kryptonite. Years of goodwill vanished in an instant. I became the enemy.

  James Olsen : That's not true.

  Lena Luthor : You're not being realistic, James, okay? We both know that Supergirl sees Kryptonite as a personal assault. She sees it as a hostile attack on her very nature, and she will do everything in her power to stop me from making it, even if I'm using it for good. I just, I can't... I just can't allow that to happen.

  James Olsen : You're right. Supergirl has seen Kryptonite in a certain way, but that's only because your brother tried to use it to kill Superman. But this is different. The world's biggest enemy happens to have the same weakness as Supergirl. So if you come to her as an ally with this, to try to help her catch Reign, believe me, she will be grateful.
