Supergirl, Season 2

[Winn walks in as James is bandaging his ribs]

Winn:
I thought male corsets went out of style in the late 1800's.

James:
Nah, I was just, um... I was shooting some hoops last night and hurt some ribs.

Winn:
[touches him in the ribs] You're a terrible liar, Olsen. So I hacked into this security footage taken at the Federal Reserve that got attacked last night. The same place I told you about yesterday. [shows James his image from the footage] Great disguise by the way. What were you thinking?

James:
You wouldn't understand.

Winn:
Well, then, enlighten me! Because all I see here is a crazy dude with a baseball bat and a ski mask and a death wish.

James:
My whole life, I have been a sidekick. I have hidden behind my camera. All my best friends wear capes and they're heroes and they save people, and I want to do something good for the world, and I feel like I've waited too long already. Winn, you found the work you're supposed to do at the D.E.O. I haven't, not here. But I feel like this is it.

Winn:
I hate to break it to you, dude, but you don't have superpowers.

James:
I know! But I can do this. We can do this.

Winn:
I'm sorry, "we"?

James:
Yes, "we". I mean, I have a black belt and you're right, I don't have powers. You can make me a suit, you can build me a weapon, and together we can level the playing field. C'mon.

Winn:
No, no, no, I can't do it.

James:
You helped Kara!

Winn:
There's a difference! She can fly, you're just tall.

James:
You know, watching my dad's camera get destroyed reminded me of something. He gave his life protecting this country, and if I do this, I can honor him.

Winn:
Or you can end up just like him.

James:
Winn, I'm gonna continue being that crazy guy with the baseball bat and the ski mask... with or without you.

Winn:
James, guys like us, we are here to give people information, right? To fight with knowledge. There is no shame in that man! You gotta think this, through. You're gonna get yourself killed.
