Supergirl, Season 5

James:
So, how long you been living in my aunt's house?

Simon Kirby:
Couple months. Sometimes we crash with friends, sometimes we just camp out in the woods.

James:
Where are your parents?

Simon:
Haven't seen my dad since I was... five? My mom got busted last winter stealing a space heater from the hardware store. The judge wouldn't even give her a chance to explain. They gave her ten years for stealing a 30-buck heater.

James:
Since when does petty theft get you that kind of time?

Simon:
It's a racket. The cops, judges, lawyers, everyone's in on it. They keep the prison full, the prison keeps their pockets lined.

James:
How's nobody stood up against them? Called these guys out?

Simon:
Like who? Nobody's gonna speak up and risk themselves. Anyways, you can't beat the system, so what's the point?

James:
There is a point, Simon. You have to stand up and fight against injustice.

Simon:
Everyone's just out for their own skin. It's the way it is.

James:
Not on my watch.
