A Matter of Calibration.






Superman :

Kara, what the hell were you 

trying to prove out there?


Supergirl :

I was stopping bad guys.

That's what we do, right?


Superman :

Stop them, not scramble them.


Supergirl :

Don't lecture me, Kal. 

I'm still older than you.


Superman :

No. You may have left Krypton 

that way, but you're not anymore.

The wormhole got me here faster.


Supergirl :

That's not fair.


Superman :

Tell it to Einstein.


Supergirl :

Who?


Superman :

Smart guy. Lived here on Earth.

Do your homework.


Supergirl :

Why don't you do yours?


Superman :

Excuse me?


Supergirl :

You've spent your whole life on this planet.

You grew up with these powers.

Do you even remember Krypton?

Your parents? My parents?


Superman :

Only a little.


Supergirl :

Well, for me, it was only several months ago.

I didn't have powers. Nobody did.

And when bad things happened

We were Helpless.


Superman :

Kara, I can't know unless you tell me.


Supergirl :

Ask regular people down there 

how they feel when guys like that 

terrorize them.

I have powers now.

And I'm going to use them.



Lois Lane

Teenagers.

It's a matter of calibration.

She's a good kid. She'll learn.


Superman :

So, what's your excuse?


Lois Lane

Meaning?


Superman :

You volunteered to be their hostage?


Lois Lane

Well, better me than someone else.


Superman :

You have to stop doing things like that.


Lois Lane

No, what I have to do is get The Story.


Superman :

Other reporters do their jobs without 

needing me to save them every time.


Lois Lane

Other reporters don't have the access I do.


Superman :

To The Stories? Or to Me?


Lois Lane : Both.

Must be awful being You.

Most powerful Man in The World and 

You still can't control The Women in Your Life.
