Lena Luthor : You know, Edge, you act like a bully, but underneath it all, you are scared to death of a powerful woman you can't control. You're so terrified, you would sacrifice kids, poison our water, do just about anything to kill me and get rid of the problem.
Morgan Edge : And you got it wrong, Lena. I like powerful women. Nay, I love powerful women. But you're not a powerful woman. You're wasting away in that ivory tower. Posing as Cat Grant, hoping that the gleam of liberal media is gonna somehow magically rub off on you. I don't have to kill you, Lena. You're already dead.
[Lena scowls]
Morgan Edge : Enjoy the eggs, kids. They're mediocre; you'll fit right in.
Lena Luthor : Burn in hell, Edge.
Morgan Edge : I hear the company is fantastic.
-
Lena Luthor : I had the strangest dream. You were flying, and you were carrying me.
Kara Danvers : I... I was? Like Supergirl? That's... I wish.
-
Samantha Arias : When Ruby was first born, the nurse handed her to me in the hospital, and she wrapped her tiny hand around my finger, and I just stared at her in awe. And I swore that I would always protect her, no matter what. So, my greatest fear... is that something will happen to me and I won't be around to protect her. All Ruby has is me. So if I'm not here... if I'm not around, then what will happen to her? I'm *scared*.
Kara Danvers : But we're your family. And we're Ruby's family, too.
Lena Luthor : And that little girl has got the fiercest mama on the planet.
Alex Danvers : And you got to remember you're not alone.
Samantha Arias : You have no idea what that means to me.
Kara Danvers : Well, good, because all we have to focus on now is getting you better.
-
Morgan Edge : Well, well, well. I thought Vironique's had a hard "no liberals" policy.
James Olsen : But apparently, they're fine with murderers.
Morgan Edge : You know, Mr. Olsen, for a newspaper man, I'd like to think you'd be a little bit more considerate with your words. My lawyers can bury you alive for defamation of character.
Lena Luthor : I don't know.
[smirks]
Lena Luthor : Don't you have to have a character to defame?
Morgan Edge : Ooh.
[grins]
Morgan Edge : And the pot calls the kettle black.
-
James Olsen : What the hell happened to you?
Morgan Edge : I survived.
Kara Danvers : Survived what?
Morgan Edge : An attempt on my life. How about this? Why don't you try 1,500 words on how this deranged trust fund baby hacked into my car and tried to steer me off the edge of this damn city?
Lena Luthor : Wait, wait. You're accusing me of trying to kill you? Oh, that's rich.
-
James Olsen : Look, whatever happened to you, Lena had nothing to do with it.
Kara Danvers : Yeah, so why don't you just turn around and go accuse one of the other fifty people who despise you in this city.
Morgan Edge : She shows up where I have breakfast, hangs out at the valet stand just a little bit too long, tells me to go, what was it, "burn in hell"? And then somehow, mysteriously, my car steers itself off the road, explodes into the water. Coincidence? I don't think so.
Lena Luthor : I don't put hits on people, no matter how much I despise them.
Morgan Edge : That's right, you like to do the dirty work yourself. Here I am, sister. Why don't you man up and finish the job?
James Olsen : Why don't you find the exit, or I'll find it for you?
Morgan Edge : You better get ready to finish what you started, because you wound me up, and I'm not gonna rest until it's over. And I never lose.
-
James Olsen : He's gone. And security knows better than to let him in again.
Lena Luthor : He's not gonna come back and try again in person. This was an uncharacteristic outburst. I've never seen him so angry. He's gonna come back at me twice as hard. This is never gonna stop.
Kara Danvers : But you're not the one who's trying to kill him.
James Olsen : No. He's tried to kill Lena plenty of times and she's never retaliated.
Kara Danvers : So someone out there is trying to kill him.
James Olsen : He's got no shortage of enemies, but like you said, this is uncharacteristic for him. Edge is too good at covering his tracks to have somebody build a case against him.
Kara Danvers : Yeah, I mean, we don't even have enough for a damning story.
-
Kara Danvers : That was my source at NCPD. They just salvaged Edge's car and there's no sign of tampering.
Lena Luthor : You think Edge did this himself? Why? To frame me?
James Olsen : No, Edge is crazy, but he's not suicidal.
Kara Danvers : Well, whoever hacked his car, it's above and beyond anything the NCPD has ever dealt with.
James Olsen : What about the guy who hacked Maxwell Lord's limousine and tried to drive him off a cliff?
Kara Danvers : Yeah, I... I thought of that guy, too, but there's no connection to Edge.
-
Lena Luthor : Why do I feel like I've been hit by a truck?
Kara Danvers : Um... you were poisoned.
James Olsen : It was the coffee. Kara reacted very quickly, and the paramedics came and they gave you an antidote. They said you need to rest.
Lena Luthor : It was Edge, wasn't it?
Kara Danvers : Yeah.
Lena Luthor : Has he been arrested?
James Olsen : No. He didn't do it himself; he hired a hitman. And now that hitman is dead.
Lena Luthor : So Edge is gonna get away scot free again?
Kara Danvers : For now.
-
Lena Luthor : You know, Reign was right. Scumbags like Edge need to be put down, okay? He wants a war, then he has got one. I'm the only one who can protect myself.
Kara Danvers : Lena, no, you are not a killer.
Lena Luthor : Yeah, Kara? Maybe you don't know what I am.
James Olsen : Well, hey, I know you. You're not thinking clearly right now, okay? We're not out of options. We have a lead, okay? We weren't able to find any fragment of the bullet, no exit wound, no shrapnel, nothing, no casings.
Kara Danvers : So it just vanished?
James Olsen : Yeah, it's some really weird futuristic technology. But if we can find out who can manufacture a bullet like that, we can find the shooter.
Kara Danvers : Lena, I give you my word, Edge will not get away with this again.
-
Lillian Luthor : The disappearing bullets were an inspired breadcrumb, don't you think? Worked like a charm.
Lena Luthor : What are you doing here, mother?
Lillian Luthor : What do you think? A man has been trying to assassinate my daughter. I came back to kill him.
Lena Luthor : [sarcastic] Oh, how sweet.
[normally]
Lena Luthor : Now what are you really doing here?
-
Lillian Luthor : What happened to all the things you told me you wanted to accomplish at L-Corp? Your technology has the capacity to change the world, build the future. You gave all that up to buy a vanity business? Talking heads who regurgitate the news? I can't understand it. Why would you want to be Cat Grant when you could be Lena Luthor? Let me do this. I know you, Lena. You loathe this man and wanna kill him as much as I do.
Lena Luthor : Even if that were true, I'd never act on it.
Lillian Luthor : Which is why you need your mother. It'll be done by the end of the night. And then maybe, we can finally work together. Hmm? Please let me prove to you how much I love you.
-
Lena Luthor : I tried to kill Edge.
Kara Danvers : What? When?
Lena Luthor : After he poisoned the children and tried to frame me. I went to his office with a loaded gun and the intent to kill. Only reason he's still alive is he outsmarted me.
-
Lena Luthor : My mother's back.
Kara Danvers : Lillian.
Lena Luthor : She manufactured the disintegrating bullets. I just saw her. And as darkly twisted as Lillian is, she made me realize two things about myself. One, I very well may be a killer.
Kara Danvers : You're not a killer.
Lena Luthor : No, not as yet. But I do have the emotional range of Medea.
Kara Danvers : And what's number two?
Lena Luthor : I'm smart. Cunning. Strategic. I think steps ahead of most people.
Kara Danvers : And you needed your mother to remind you of that? Lena, come on, you're a chess prodigy. I've seen your trophies.
Lena Luthor : You know, I always confuse my cunning and my emotional insecurity, and thought of it all as something to be suppressed. And then when I saw Lillian, I had an epiphany. I can separate the two parts. My mother is gonna try and kill Edge. She's gonna do it tonight. I have an idea about how she'll do it, but I don't have the full picture. If we're gonna save him, I'm gonna need to use my wit, and I'm gonna need your help.
Kara Danvers : You got it.
-
Kara Danvers : Any sign of him?
Lena Luthor : I don't know. Look for the shiniest red dress, and I'm sure you'll find the mouth-breather Edge behind it.
Kara Danvers : [seeing the woman to whom Edge is talking] Well, you were almost right. Shiny red lipstick.
Lena Luthor : [spotting a security guard] I should have known about the earpiece.
Kara Danvers : Oh, I'll handle him.
[seeing Lena's expression]
Kara Danvers : I'm... professionally crafty.
-
Morgan Edge : How in the hell did you get past my security?
Lena Luthor : I don't know, it's almost as easy as poisoning a cup of coffee. You know, that was low, even for you. At least crashing a plane had a certain kind of elaborate elegance, but poisoning? That's just a coward's method.
-
Morgan Edge : What is that, some sort of a weapon? A bomb? You gonna try to kill me in public?
Lena Luthor : No. I'm actually here to save you.
Morgan Edge : From who, yourself?
Lena Luthor : My mother. She's the one that hacked into your car, and she's gonna try and kill you tonight unless I stop her.
Morgan Edge : Lillian Luthor. The world's most wanted terrorist came out of hiding to kill Morgan Edge? I'm impressed. But why?
Lena Luthor : Because you screwed with her daughter.
-
Lena Luthor : My mother will kill you tonight unless you give me a confession.
Morgan Edge : I have nothing to confess to.
Lena Luthor : Such a small thing for your life. I mean, granted, you will spend the rest of it in prison, but let's not sweat the details.
-
Lillian Luthor : Why didn't you let me kill him?
Lena Luthor : I found another way.
Lillian Luthor : There's no other way. You're a Luthor. You should be proud of it.
[a drone appears and turns into an advanced exo-suit]
Lillian Luthor : You're three steps ahead? I'm four.
Supergirl : [landing next to Lena] Suit's a bit much, don't you think?
Lillian Luthor : Says the girl in the cape.
-
Guardian : [stopping Edge as he tries to escape] I told you if I had to see you again, you wouldn't be walking out.
[he knocks him backwards with his shield; picking up the dropped audio recorder, Lena knocks him out with a kick to the face]
Lena Luthor : Ass.
Guardian : Now that's the understatement of the century.
-
Mon-El : Ms. Luthor, glad to see you're okay.
Lena Luthor : Yeah. I could say the same about you.
-
Morgan Edge : You know these charges are never gonna stick, right? You better run. 'Cause when I get back, I'm gonna crush you.
Lena Luthor : Well, you know where to find me. My name's on the building.
-
Lena Luthor : [handing Kara the audio recorder] Thank you for letting me borrow this. Although, I may have to expense you another one, 'cause I think the police are gonna wanna look at this.
Kara Danvers : Oh, well, it actually belongs to CatCo, so, technically, it's your property.
-
Lillian Luthor : I'd hoped this time would be different between us.
Lena Luthor : It was different, mother. For the first time, I could own the parts of myself that were similar to you without resorting to evil. You did make me wake up, though. There's so much I wanna do. I'm gonna need my Luthor smarts to do them.
Lillian Luthor : Well, at least it wasn't a total waste. You should've let me kill him.
Lena Luthor : You know, one day you'll understand there's a different way of doing things.
Lillian Luthor : Maybe you can enlighten me when you visit me in prison. If I'm still there.
-
Alex Danvers : Okay, so, all the test results came back clear. No tumor, no blood disorders, nothing. You as healthy as an Olympic athlete.
Samantha Arias : [mildly depressed] Really?
Kara Danvers : Sam, this is a really good thing. All of the worst possibilites have been ruled out.
Samantha Arias : No, I know. I know. It's just... I mean, if it's nothing, then what's happening to me?
Alex Danvers : We'll figure it out, okay? I promise. But for right now, just take the good news.
Lena Luthor : Alex is right. Go home to Ruby, enjoy the now. Every second of this is important to you, and it's important to your daughter.
Samantha Arias : Okay. No, yeah, you're right. Um... thank you, guys. I honestly... I don't know how I lived my life without you guys. Thanks.
Alex Danvers : [Sam leaves] I'll figure it out.
Lena Luthor : We all will.
-
Lena Luthor : I'm just tired of this cycle of violence, okay? I just want these threats, these attacks, these recriminations... you know, I've seen it ruin my mother's life, and my brother's. I just want it to stop.
Kara Danvers : Well, that's what we're here for. Let your friends help you.
-
Lillian Luthor : You know, you really hurt me, Lena. No matter how hard I try to show it, you still doubt my love for you. Do you know of any other mother who would kill for her daughter?
Lena Luthor : [sarcastic] No, I don't. It's probably a good thing for society.
Lillian Luthor : Speaking of society, I've risked everything to come back here, but it was worth it. That man has picked on the wrong family.
Lena Luthor : I don't need your help, mother. If I wanted him gone, I would just do it myself.
Lillian Luthor : Oh, I'm well aware. I'll never forget the time Cindy Ryan stole your boyfriend. Took you months of planning, but you exacted your revenge. You outed her diary, publicly humiliated her, ruined her life. It was fantastic.
Lena Luthor : It was also the fifth grade, mother.
Lillian Luthor : There you go again, devaluing yourself. You know, Lex was brilliant, but he was a hothead. You're equally as fiendish, but savvier. You have a cold-blooded talent. You can plot three moves ahead. Use your brain. When you finally own that, you'll be great.
Lena Luthor : Other than Edge's obsession with me, I am great.
-
Kara Danvers : Sam, I'm so sorry you've been going through this.
Lena Luthor : I wish you'd have come to us sooner. You shouldn't have had to go through this alone.
Samantha Arias : I know. I'm... I'm sorry I didn't. I... I've always had to take care of myself, you know, and I guess I was just afraid that if I let you in, you know, let myself feel vulnerable, I would completely fall apart.
Kara Danvers : Yeah, but falling apart is okay. 'Cause you'd have us to pick up the pieces.
-
Lena Luthor : You wanna know why I'm not a killer? Friends.
Kara Danvers : Well, that's what friends are for. We get each other through the dark times, like you did with Mon-El.
Lena Luthor : Yeah, Kara... I saw Mon-El. He... he was here with Supergirl...
Kara Danvers : Yeah. It's complicated. I'll... I'll tell you about it.
James Olsen : [approaching] You guys okay?
Lena Luthor : Yeah, yeah. I'm actually better than I have been in months. You missed all the fun, Jimmy Olsen.
