- Secretary: Mr. Kent, your cousin is here to see you.
- Clark Kent: My cousin...?
- [Kara appears, wearing big glasses and a brown wig]
- Kara: [whispering] It's me, Kara.
- Clark Kent: I know.
- Kara: You saw through my secret identity?
- Weatherman: It's gonna be a gorgeous spring day in the nation's heartland, with temperatures reaching the high seventies. So all you folks in Smallville, Kansas, get out there and enjoy that great, big, beautiful sun.
- [cut to Kara flying through the sky, until Clark pulls her down to the ground]
- Kara: Hey!
- Clark Kent: That's enough of that, Kara.
- Kara: Hey, Clark. It was such a nice day, I just thought I'd, you know, vroom!
- Clark Kent: What did we talk about? No "vroom" during the daytime.
- Clark Kent: How'd you get here all the way from Kansas?
- Kara: You told me not to "vroom" during the day. So I ran.
- [Clark tells Kara to wait for him at his apartment, before heading back to work]
- Clark Kent: And *walk*.
- [last lines]
- Lashina: You called, Granny?
- Granny Goodness: Girls, this little ninny-noodle wants to play rough. Make her last moments special.
- Kara: Take a nap, Grandma.
- Jimmy Olsen: Outstanding.
- Granny Goodness: Oh, ho, ho, ho. It doesn't end that easily, my little gingersnap.
- Amy: [a portal opens] What the heck is that?
- Jimmy Olsen: She's from Apokolips.
- Kara: Where?
- Trouble: Yeah! We took Superman on and trashed him!
- Amy: Excuse me, who trashed him?
- Trouble: Excuse me, who did he slam into a parked car?
- Granny Goodness: Now, now, what's all this fluttering, my ducklings? Your loving Granny doesn't like her babies to quarrel.
- Trouble, Amy: Yes, Granny.
- Granny Goodness: An obedient family is a happy family, and a happy family means a happy Granny.
- Lois Lane: We got a new Intergang running riot through town, and what does Perry ask me to cover? Some techno geek show.
- [inside]
- Lois Lane: Somehow, I don't smell Pulitzer here.
- [bumping into two men]
- Lois Lane: Oof! Or soap, for that matter.
- Jimmy Olsen: Oh, at least the chief treats you like a real reporter. I mean, when's he gonna give me a break?
- Lois Lane: First rule of reporting, kid: never count on breaks. You want a story? Go get one. It won't just drop into your lap.
- [two gangsters on hoverboards crash through a glass window and start wreaking havoc]
- Lois Lane: I stand corrected.
- Kara: Listen, I saw a report about Intergang on TV, and I thought you could really use my help.
- Clark Kent: Look, I appreciate your concern, Kara, but I don't want you to rush into something you're not ready for. I didn't save your life so you could throw it away fighting some ray gun-toting punks.
- Kara: But...
- Clark Kent: No buts. I gotta get back to work. Here's a key to my apartment. Wait for me there. We'll talk later.
- Jimmy Olsen: You said your name's Karen?
- Kara: Yeah.
- Jimmy Olsen: And you're an intern?
- Kara: Yeah.
- Jimmy Olsen: I thought I knew all the interns.
- Jimmy Olsen: [IDing an arcade token] Bingo!
- Kara: What's that mean?
- Jimmy Olsen: They're the same.
- Kara: [covering] Oh, yeah. Bingo.
- Martha Kent: So, Clark, will you be staying the night?
- Clark Kent: Sorry, Ma, Metropolis is having a sudden crime wave.
- Jonathan Kent: Yeah, I saw on TV that Intergang's back.
- Kara: Intergang? What's that?
- Clark Kent: Nothing you have to worry about.
- Kara: Who's worried? I was just asking.
- Martha Kent: They're a bunch of hoodlums with terrible weapons.
- Kara: Oh, yeah?
- Jonathan Kent: They caused Clark no end of trouble.
- Kara: Really?
- Clark Kent: Thanks, guys. I gotta go.
- [mussing Kara's hair]
- Clark Kent: You be good.
- Kara: Yeah, yeah. Feet on the ground, I know.
- [Clark leaves]
- Kara: So, Pa, Intergang, huh?
- Granny Goodness: Now, why have you nosy little mice come calling on poor old Granny Goodness?
- Jimmy Olsen: Uh, my chick and I heard Intergang was back in biz. Sounded like a good gig. Thought we'd join up.
- Kara: Bingo!
- Granny Goodness: Let me tell you tadpoles how I work. I seek out the lost little lambs society has cruelly abandoned. I take them lovingly under my wings, give them the power to face the cold, heartless world and kick its butt!
- Jimmy Olsen: We're in!
- Granny Goodness: But you hardly seem the type. So bright-eyed and soft-skinned. Life has not scarred you as it has my other goslings. Still, we can remedy that.
- Kara: All right, I've seen enough! Don't you realize you're being duped? You think you're getting power, but she's only turning you into her own personal goon squad.
- Jimmy Olsen: What are you doing?
- Kara: What do you think? I'm shutting down this psycho witch!
- Granny Goodness: Eh! Such language! Children, defend your Granny's honor. KILL HER!
- [they all jump on her, but she fights them off; tearing off her tattered clothes, she reveals a belly shirt with Superman's "S" on it]
- Jimmy Olsen: I don't believe it! A super... girl?
- Kara: Believe it.
- Superman: Personal journal: after following the coordinates from my ship's initial flight recorder, I've finally retraced the ship's escape route from my home planet: Krypton.
- [scanning for surviving life]
- Superman: Nothing. There's nothing out there but death.
- [getting an alert]
- Superman: A distress signal. Coming from the edge of the system.
- [finding the source of the transmission]
- Superman: No traces of kryptonite radiation. Let's drop in.
- Kala In-Ze: I am Kala In-Ze, chief physician of Argo City. Five years ago, Argo was a thriving, vibrant world. But then, without warning, our sister planet Krypton was destroyed in a giant chain of explosions. Krypton's destruction tore Argo from its orbit. The resulting devastation destroyed most of our world and sent it moving slowly, inexorably, away from our sun, leaving a few desperate survivors slowly freezing to death. There was nothing my people could do but pray our distress signals would be answered. But now, I can wait no longer. I have taken a desperate last chance to save my surviving family. To my knowledge, we are all that is left of Argo. Please help us.
- Superman: [as the recording ends, he continues looking around] I'm too late.
- [spotting a stasis pod that still seems to be operational]
- Superman: Maybe not.
