Supergirl (TV Series)

Call to Action (2018)

April Parker Jones: Colonel Lauren Haley

Quotes 

• Supergirl : The Children of Liberty announcing themselves to the world.

  Alex Danvers : Agent Dox is already working on identifying Agent Liberty, and trying to find if there's a deeper message in the manifesto.

  Colonel Lauren Haley : Why? I mean, these are the rantings of a human hate group. The FBI will deal with it.

  Alex Danvers : But this could be dangerous. There's precedent. From the White Rose in-in Germany to the CIA in Guatemala in 1954. Leaflets like this, they were used to activate uprisings.

• Colonel Lauren Haley : Agents, a briefing on your current work, please.

  Alex Danvers : Um...

  Querl Dox : Oh... no. Uh, you caught me, Colonel. I must confess, your sweet potato pie is so delicious that it inspired me to search for a recipe and make one of my very own. For Thanksgiving. I apologize for allowing your masterful baking to distract me from important DEO business.

  Colonel Lauren Haley : Back to work, Agent Dox. Director Danvers.

  Alex Danvers : Yes, ma'am.

  Querl Dox : [Haley leaves]  You see, Alex, some human behaviors require experiential learning. Now I can add "covering on the spot" to my skills of mastery.

• Colonel Lauren Haley : Where were you when you found this?

  Supergirl : I was stopping an attack on two aliens by men in masks.

  Colonel Lauren Haley : But where?

  Supergirl : Midtown Park.

  Colonel Lauren Haley : Were you ordered to patrol there?

  Supergirl : I went because I heard...

  Colonel Lauren Haley : Were you ordered to patrol there?

  Supergirl : No, ma'am.

  Colonel Lauren Haley : I know you've had free rein in the past, but things are different now. If you want to intervene in muggins, join the NCPD. This is the DEO. We swim in deeper waters. Our resources will not be used to investigate this manifesto. You tell Agent Dox to return to his other assignments, is that clear?

  Supergirl , Alex Danvers : Yes, ma'am.

  Colonel Lauren Haley : I may not be the Woman of Steel, but if you push me, you will find I do not bend. Dismissed.

  [Alex and Kara turn to leave] 

  Colonel Lauren Haley : And one more thing. I brought some sweet potato pie today. It's in the cafeteria. Happy Thanksgiving.

• Colonel Lauren Haley : Once again, you and Supergirl have disobeyed my direct orders. I told you this manifesto was not a matter of priority.

  Alex Danvers : Colonel Haley, you have to...

  Colonel Lauren Haley : [holding up her hand to silence her]  That said, the violent actions of the Children of Liberty are stirring National City's most dangerous aliens to defend themselves. And we must make sure not to provoke them any further. So from this point forward, we will consider the Children of Liberty a matter of priority for the DEO.

  Supergirl : [surprised]  Thank you, Colonel Haley.

• Colonel Lauren Haley : Don't think there is anything that happens under my watch that I'm not aware of. I could've stopped your little rogue investigation at any moment. But I gave you just enough rope to hang yourself. Fortunately for you, this time you had a chair to stand on. But do not ever disobey my direct orders again, or there will be consequences.

  Alex Danvers : I followed my instincts, and they were right. And I will continue to do so because that is what makes me a great leader. And if that means that you have to court martial me, then so be it.
