Quotes 

• Kara Danvers : While some feel Corto Maltese is to blame for the recent hostilities, others say it's Kaznia's economic sanctions that started the tension. Will you admit there's some truth to that?

  William Dey : [with an exaggerated accent]  My opinion is not the issue. What matters is the actions of the countries involved. Next question.

  Kara Danvers : Uh... okay. I guess...

  William Dey : [normally]  Don't let them duck the question. Make them confront it.

  Andrea Rojas : [approaching]  William is absolutely right. Especially since I just arranged for an off-the-books meeting between you and the chief Kaznian treaty negotiator.

  Kara Danvers : What?

  Andrea Rojas : His other plans got canceled because of this ridiculous dome. Meeting's at 2:00 this afternoon at Noonan's on Main.

  Kara Danvers : Yeah, of course. Yes, I will be there. Thank you.

  William Dey : You really are having a day of days.

• Kara Danvers : Andrea, I'm so sorry.

  Andrea Rojas : Your contrition isn't important right now. What is important is that I was able to salvage your faux pas and convince President Zakharov and Prime Minister Perez to extend their trip by a day. Tomorrow, 12:30 at the Civic Center. Do not be late.

  Kara Danvers : William should do the interview.

  Andrea Rojas : What?

  Kara Danvers : I've given him my interview packet. He has background on both leaders plus the deal points of the peace treaty. I've delegated all my other articles to Franklin and Mackenzie.

  Andrea Rojas : Kara, what are you talking about?

  Kara Danvers : You were right, Andrea. I'm not... here. Not fully. And there's too much at stake for that right now. So, uh... I quit.

• Lena Luthor : When do Esme and Kelly get back from Calvintown?

  Alex Danvers : After the weekend. Kelly wants to give Esme the full Olsen family experience. So, catching fireflies, climbing trees, the enormous chili bowls. So if things stay as calm as they have been, I think I'm just gonna go back and join 'em.

  Supergirl : Yeah, I guess destroying the Hope totem and having Brainy hide the rest was the right move. And now I even have time for my interview.

  Lena Luthor : What interview?

  Supergirl : Well, you know Kaznia and Corto Maltese agreed to a truce last week. Well, now Prime Minister Perez and President Zakharov are in town negotiating the official treaty. And my sources have told me that things are getting tense. But then I remembered this interview Larry King did years ago with three Middle Eastern leaders.

  Lena Luthor : Yeah, that was Arafat, Rabin, and King Hussein of Jordan.

  J'onn J'onnz : They called it "World Diplomacy Live." I remember that. Were you on Earth back then?

  Supergirl : No, I-I was actually in my pod, but I saw it. I just remember being so moved that a reporter could be a part of something so momentous. So I went out on a limb and asked Cat if she'd be willing to introduce me to the president and prime minister and she said yes.

  [cut to her in Andrea's office] 

  Kara Danvers : And now CatCo has the chance to do something just like that. A once-in-a-generation interview that will show that even in these contentious times, two enemies were able to cross the divide and come together and help the Super Friends, by eliminating both countries' threats and, most importantly, how when people really set their minds to it, real peace is possible.

  Andrea Rojas : Wow. That is inspiring. But not really interesting, is it?

  Kara Danvers : What?

  [stammering] 

  Kara Danvers : This could be historic.

  Andrea Rojas : Oh, I know. We'll hype it as our version of Oprah and the Royals. "Kara Danvers and the heads of state." We'll put it on all the platforms. Our foreign markets will boom.

  Kara Danvers : Okay, but I-I really think you're not getting this.

  Andrea Rojas : Oh, but I am. Tomorrow at the Civic Center, we will have a full crew to support your broadcast. Anything you need before then, you let me know.

• Andrea Rojas : Kara, you didn't show up for the meeting I arranged yesterday.

  Supergirl : I know. I know, I, uh... something came up and-and I had to cancel, but I-I let the negotiator know.

  Andrea Rojas : No, no, no, no, I-I don't want to hear excuses. Kara, you're one of the most talented reporters I have ever seen. So often, I give you leeway. I don't ask where you go when you leave the office in the middle of the day. I don't get upset when you disappear for weeks on end saying you're working on a huge story with Cat Grant only to return empty-handed. Because your work is usually flawless. But lately, Kara, you're not here and it's beginning to show. You told me that an interview showing these two leaders coming together peacefully could inspire the world.

  Supergirl : It-it... it can. It will.

  Andrea Rojas : Then start acting like it. I'll see you at the Civic Center in 30 minutes. Don't be late.
