Supergirl : But that's why you have me.
President Baker : That may have sufficed for Olivia Marsdin. Not anymore.
Supergirl : Everyone involved in Claymore, everyone that works at that satellite base is at risk. The Elite are going to attack.

Supergirl : Will you answer to your electorate the first time Claymore shoots down an alien ship that means us no harm? It's wrong. Innocent people will die.
President Baker : Do not interfere with that satellite!
Supergirl : This is a mistake, Mr. President.

President Baker : Come on, you can tell me. Hmm? You hated that satellite. You're a superhero. There had to have been a way to stop Claymore without blowing it up. No, you did it because you wanted to.
Supergirl : I assure you, sir, there was no other way.

President Baker : We could use a man like you. A man who knows what he is.
