Quotes 

• Alex Danvers : If you thought I was badass before, you just wait until you see what I just bought. It's parked right outside. You wanna go see it?

  [Ruby shrugs half-heartedly] 

  Alex Danvers : Look, it's a 1962 Item. I have always wanted this bike. What do you say? You wanna take a ride around the block? I got you your own helmet.

  Ruby Arias : No, thanks.

  Alex Danvers : Oh, um... yeah, that's okay. Uh... um, well, what's something that you've always wanted to do? I mean, didn't you tell me once that you wanted to dye the ends of your hair blue?

  Ruby Arias : No.

  Alex Danvers : Um... well, what if we got you a pet? Why don't we get you a cat?

  Ruby Arias : My mom's allergic.

  Alex Danvers : Uh... well, you wanna play Scrabble? Or we could just... we could just talk.

  Ruby Arias : No offense, but I just wanna be left alone right now.

• Alex Danvers : Hey, look, there's no line at Dance Dance Revolution.

  Ruby Arias : I don't want to do it.

  Alex Danvers : Look. Ruby, I know you miss your mom. Okay? And I know that you're in pain. Please, let me help you.

  Ruby Arias : You forced me to come here. I told you I didn't want to.

  Alex Danvers : I know. Sometimes, when we're in pain, it can feel like, you know, like we're sinking. Like quicksand. And experts in this kind of thing, they-they say that-that when we are in pain, the-the best thing to do is surrond ourselves with-with loved ones who can bring us back to life. So I... I am just trying to help you.

  Ruby Arias : You're not helping. I hate it here. Just take me home.

• M'yrnn J'onzz : What is this?

  Ruby Arias : A foosball.

  M'yrnn J'onzz : Foosball. Strange material. Bouyant, light substance.

  Ruby Arias : It's made of cork.

  M'yrnn J'onzz : What is cork?

  Ruby Arias : I'm not sure. I think it's made from trees.

• M'yrnn J'onzz : We do not have cork trees on Mars.

  Ruby Arias : Mars? Wait, you're from Mars?

  M'yrnn J'onzz : Of course.

  Ruby Arias : Really? Wait. What's it like there?

  M'yrnn J'onzz : It was once a place of great nobility. People lived simply, yet with joy. I long for that place.

  Ruby Arias : What happened?

  M'yrnn J'onzz : War. My family was killed. A very long time ago.

  Ruby Arias : How did you recover? I mean, after that happened.

  M'yrnn J'onzz : Faith. I believed if my heart remained pure, H'ronmeer would provide for me. It was difficult, but I was strong. Like you.

  Ruby Arias : H'ronmeer's, like, a god on Mars?

  [M'ryrrn laughs] 

  Ruby Arias : Did he come through?

  M'yrnn J'onzz : He brought me back my son.

• Alex Danvers : And now for the big reveal.

  [taking a towel off, revealing Ruby's new dyed hair] 

  Alex Danvers : Ta-da!

  Ruby Arias : It looks so good. I love it so much.

  Alex Danvers : Yeah?

  Ruby Arias : You did such a good job.

  Alex Danvers : Well, thank you. At least I know now that if this whole FBI thing doesn't work out, I have a calling as a hairdresser.

• Ruby Arias : I'm sorry I was so rude to you before, Alex.

  Alex Danvers : No, I, um... I'm sorry that I kept pushing you to feel better before you were ready. But I'm-I'm really happy that you taught M'yrnn how to play foosball.

  Ruby Arias : How long has he been sick?

  Alex Danvers : Not very long. A few months. But he's very old; like, hundreds of years old.

  Ruby Arias : Do you think J'onn ever worries about what happened to his father will happen to him?

  Alex Danvers : I don't know. Are you worried that what happened to your mom might happen to you?

  [Ruby gives a small nod] 

  Alex Danvers : I wish, more than anything, that I could take this burden from you. I really wish that I could tell you that you never have to worry about that. But the truth is... I don't know. But I'll tell you what I do know. Some of the smartest people on the planet love your mom. And they're working day and night to find a cure. And those very same people, they love you. And I give you my word, Ruby, I will fight to protect you as long as I live.
