Batwoman Season 2 Episode 13 Quotes

Cluemaster: How did you solve Cluemaster's riddle?
Sophie: I know it's just my first day but a little advice. Don't advertise the crime you're about to commit if you don't want to get caught.

Sophie: I'm sorry your view of mankind is so bleak.

Do you know why it's called beginner's luck? I'll give you a clue. It's because it's unexpected and because it doesn't last.
