Quotes
-
Imra Ardeen : Everyone's been very kind so far. It's fascinating to see Earth this far back.
Winn Schott : Oh, yeah. This must be like medieval times for you.
Imra Ardeen : You eat things with your hands. So fun. Mon-El tells me there's a place in town where you can eat all the ribs you want. What did you call it? "Food until you're full"?
Mon-El : Very close. It's "All you can eat."
-
Mon-El : It's a long story.
Kara Danvers : Well, seven years is a long time.
Mon-El : Strange as it may sound, the 31st century is actually not that different from today.
Winn Schott : What, better smartphones?

-
Winn Schott : So, a legion of superheroes. Ha!
J'onn J'onzz : Sounds formidable.
Mon-El : Not nearly enough. The future has, uh... some bad things happening.
Imra Ardeen : Yeah, the darkness is spreading.
Kara Danvers : What's that? What do you mean?
Mon-El : Well, my team and I were on a mission, and, uh... we got into some trouble. Our ship got knocked into one of those, uh... those disruptions.
J'onn J'onzz : A wormhole?
Mon-El : Yes.
Imra Ardeen : We crash-landed back on Earth 12,000 years ago.
Alex Danvers : So you traveled back in time by accident?
Mon-El : Which is exactly why we couldn't just go home. So we went into cryo-sleep and set the ship to wake us up when we returned to the 31st century. But then the torpedo hit the ship, and damaged the ship, and that's when I woke up. But do you think we can fix it? Can you help us get home?
J'onn J'onzz : We'll do everything in our power to help. But for now... settle in.
Alex Danvers : You might be here for a while.

Mon-El : Look, Imra... she feels really bad that she upset you. That wasn't... that was not her intention.
Kara Danvers : Oh, no, she didn't do anything wrong. She was very kind, and generous, and, you know, she's smart and beautiful, and even though she looks like a Greek goddess, I can't find any reason to hate her. But am I okay with this? No.
Mon-El : Kara, I...
Kara Danvers : No. Stop. Please, Mon-El, I... I see this very clearly for what it is. We're just three good people stuck in a really crappy situation. But, you know what, at least two of us still get to be happy.
[she turns to leave, then stops]
Kara Danvers : And... and just for the record, Mon-El, I really am trying to be okay with this, but... this is... this is worse than... the worst thing I could possibly imagine. And that's you looking at me with no love in your eyes. So, please, just...
[turning to leave again]
Kara Danvers : Please.

Mon-El : Hey, so how was your party?
Kara Danvers : Good.
Mon-El : Yeah?
Kara Danvers : How's your ship?
Mon-El : Broken beyond my understanding, so...
Kara Danvers : Oh. Well, it sounds like we are having two very different weeks.
-
Mon-El : Hey, I forgot how much I miss this place. You know, it's... special.
Kara Danvers : You did make a pretty mean club soda.
Mon-El : And I'm guessing you probably steered clear of Aldebaran rum.
Kara Danvers : Please do not remind me. That was...
[they share a laugh as she covers her face in embarrassment]
Kara Danvers : You know, you are so lucky I did not lose my job at the DEO that day.
-
Mon-El : Hey, you know, I'm really sorry. About us being here, you know, and how this must be really hard for you.
Kara Danvers : No, no, no. You know what, Mon-El, your wife is lovely. And you two seem to really make each other happy. So...
Mon-El : Do you want to talk about it?
Kara Danvers : There's not really much to talk about.
-
Mon-El : You keep walking away from me.
Kara Danvers : I'm not walking away from you. I'm just walking away.
-
Mon-El : Well, technology has developed beyond imagining, but at the end of the day, it's still in service of... of communicating with each other, and entertaining each other, and also killing each other. In this day or a thousand years, conflict is constant, but so is strength.
Imra Ardeen : And... and what's where we come in.
Alex Danvers : So, what are you, um, soldiers?
Imra Ardeen : The governments were overwhelmed by violence. By chaos. Mon-El organized us. And we banded together to help Earth's leaders keep the peace, at home and in the stars. We call ourselves the Legion. And we exist because of you.
Kara Danvers : Because of me?
Imra Ardeen : Mm.
Mon-El : You inspired me. So when I founded the Legion, I chose to use you as an example of what we could be. Of what we aspire to be.
Imra Ardeen : When I learned about your life and work, your compassionate fight for justice and your devotion to protecting others, everything just crystallized. Your example gave my life purpose. I can't express how much it means for me to meet you in person.
