Quotes 

• Eve Teschmacher : Hi, Mr. Olsen.

  James Olsen : Hey, Eve. Thanks for coming in.

  Eve Teschmacher : Coffee, two sugars. Just how you like.

  James Olsen : You remembered. Thank you, that's very kind.

  Eve Teschmacher : Hey, anything for my favorite ex-boss. Don't tell Ms. Grant I said that.

  James Olsen : I most certainly will.

• James Olsen : Nervous about covering the march?

  Franklin : I'm fine.

  James Olsen : No, it's okay if you are, Franklin. I mean, we are living in crazy times, right? It's just important to remember what we do here every day. Reporting on events like this, taking the risk to show all sides, and showing the humanity there, that's nothing less than heroic. I mean, think about it. You fight injustice with your fists, you can help one, maybe a dozen people. But good journalism, that can impact millions. It's why we became journalists in the first place, right?

  Franklin : Yeah. Thanks, Mr. Olsen.

  James Olsen : No problem.

  [Franklin turns to leave] 

  James Olsen : Franklin.

  Franklin : Yeah?

  James Olsen : You need a photographer?

• James Olsen : So, uh, a few weeks ago, I had a report put on my desk, um... that detailed a black budget at L-Corp. Normally, I would be digging into this myself, but I figured with the nature of your relationship there...

  Eve Teschmacher : You figured you'd ask me first?

  James Olsen : It's probably easier.

  Eve Teschmacher : Um... obviously, this is something I'm going to have to talk about with Ms. Luthor. But there's nothing to worry about. The black budget is a tool we use to shield proprietary science from our competitors.

  James Olsen : So nothing's off?

  Eve Teschmacher : Mr. Olsen, you and Ms. Luthor are in... a rough patch.

  [as he laughs dryly, she indicates the television newscast behind him] 

  Eve Teschmacher : Look at it out there. Lena's trying to help make that reality better. Still, with her approval, I will e-mail you the budget, so you can see for yourself. But I promise, we're one of the good guys.
