Quotes 

• Lena Luthor : James, we're frolicking on our roof garden, sipping mojitos. Could you try not to look so miserable?

  James Olsen : Yeah, I'm sorry. I'm just reading the Internet. There's so many people tweeting hate at the same time praising Guardian.

  Lena Luthor : Okay, well, the Internet's a cesspool. You shouldn't read it.

• Lena Luthor : So, Brainy's drunk.

  Kara Danvers : Oh!

  Lena Luthor : He thought the mojitos were a vegetable juice.

  Nia Nal : [entering]  Did someone say mojitos at brunch? Sounds like my kind of party.

• Alex Danvers : Well, CatCo's newest addition. It's very nice to finally meet you.

  J'onn J'onzz : We've heard a lot about you.

  Nia Nal : All good things, I hope.

  Lena Luthor : Well, James said your passion for making the world a better place is matched only by the elegance of your prose, so...

  Nia Nal : I wish I could say I paid him, but I could not have made that up.

• Lena Luthor : Okay, you have got to stop listening to this dreck. Is that Ben Lockwood?

  James Olsen : Do you know him?

  Lena Luthor : Well, when I reorganized L-Corp, I took my business away from his father's steel shop and gave it to an Nth metal producer. Who the hell gave him a platform?

  James Olsen : The People's Veritas, some sort of syndicated fringe website.

  Lena Luthor : Oh, okay. Well, there you go. "Fringe" being the operative word.

  James Olsen : Well, the last time I saw Ben Lockwood, he was a sad, angry man begging me to write his story. And now he and every lunatic like him is praising Guardian as if I'm one of them.

  Lena Luthor : Well, I don't think the mayor would invite James Olsen to be the keynote speaker at his annual Media Summit if he thought he was some kind of fringe lunatic.

  James Olsen : Wait, what?

  Lena Luthor : The invitation just came in. That is what I came to tell you. Now, you need to stop obsessing about these trolls and start writing your speech.

• Ben Lockwood : I was just, uh... my table's in the back.

  Lena Luthor : I doubt we're seated at the same table.

  James Olsen : And this event is for members of...

  Ben Lockwood : The mainstream media? Yeah, that's probably why they seated me in the back.

• Ben Lockwood : Listen, I owe you two an apology. I wasn't in the best place when last our paths crossed, but, uh... well, things... things are much better.

  Lena Luthor : Excuse me. I'm gonna get a drink.

  [to James] 

  Lena Luthor : See you in a few minutes.

  James Olsen : Make that two, please.

• Lena Luthor : You okay?

  James Olsen : Yeah, I'm just thinking about everything we heard at the media summit today.

  Lena Luthor : Yeah. So hateful. I didn't realize how deep it went, or how ugly it was. You were right to want to disavow it.

  James Olsen : I'm not sure disavow is the right move. Something Ben Lockwood said stuck with me.

  Lena Luthor : What?

  James Olsen : Maybe you can't change people's minds by slamming doors in their faces. And as a reporter, I need to get to the bottom of the story to figure out who these people are, find their leader. I mean, you told me yourself, these people are interested in Guardian, so maybe they'll listen to me. That's the way forward.

  Lena Luthor : Sounds dangerous.

  James Olsen : You kidding me? With you as my co-pilot?
