Quotes 

• Oliver Queen : You do know, of course, look absolutely ridiculous in that, right? And I got a great tailor. Hook you up with a little color maybe.

  Clark Kent : Nice to see you finally discovered something worth living for after all.

  Oliver Queen : Yeah. More like a rediscovery, actually. You've done a hell of a job keeping the world safe on your own, Clark. I'm here to help you now.

  Clark Kent : Good. Something tells me... soon the world will need all the help we can get.

• Oliver Queen : The last time I trust a woman with a dragon tattoo.

• Chloe Sullivan : You were living like you had a death wish, Oliver. You had to face your demons if you were gonna make it out alive, and I had to push you over the ledge in order to pull you back.

  Oliver Queen : Did you have to push with a 3-ton truck?

  Chloe Sullivan : I didn't think a tricycle would be a strong enough point.

• Victoria Sinclair : Now that's the face of a guy who's down on his luck.

  Oliver Queen : Well, I think my luck's about ready to turn around. I don't remember seeing you around, earlier.

  Victoria Sinclair : Well, maybe not. But I've seen you before. Your type.

  Oliver Queen : And what type is that exactly?

  Victoria Sinclair : The player who can't find the game to satisfy him.

  Oliver Queen : I'll admit I've lost a certain lust for life... but luckily not other things.

  Victoria Sinclair : Then play a game with me.

  Oliver Queen : I'm all in.

• Chloe Sullivan : Oliver. Oh, my god, are you okay?

  Oliver Queen : South of there by a few horror movies.

• Oliver Queen : Chloe, I'm not the only one you put at risk.

  Chloe Sullivan : If you're worried about our little club and Lex, don't be. I played my cards close to my chest.

  Oliver Queen : And Lois was what? She was, uh, just another ace up your sleeve?

  Chloe Sullivan : No. I never meant for her to get involved. She was chasing after you when she accidentally ended up storming the field. That's when Victoria went off script.

  Oliver Queen : I could have killed her.

  Chloe Sullivan : No offense to your manhood, but I made sure that your gun was loaded with blanks, just in case. I trust you, Oliver, just... not that much.

  Oliver Queen : Did Clark know about this?

  Chloe Sullivan : You can't be serious. Clark would never in a million years risk what needed to be done.

  Oliver Queen : Well, he's led a different life than we have, hasn't he? I can't expect him to know me like you do. The places that I had sunk to, the depths you must have had to go to bring me back. Thank you.

  Chloe Sullivan : You proved it to yourself. Even with your face in the gutter, you still had the hero in your heart.

  Oliver Queen : You saved my life, Chloe. Both the myth and the man.

• Lois Lane : So. What was that about?

  Oliver Queen : Uh-oh, I've seen that look before. Usually... right before you sock me in the jaw.

  Lois Lane : Tempted. But if you're unconscious, you can't answer any questions, like who the hell was that dragon lady?

  Oliver Queen : Okay... she was, um... a psycho ex-girlfriend who watched "Fatal Attraction" too many times.

  Lois Lane : So what am I, the bunny? Oliver, you really need to take a dip in the sane-chick pool. I mean, that dress... that was a bigger Red Scare than Cold War Russia.

  Oliver Queen : Although, I-I thought you wore it pretty well.

• Oliver Queen : You never should've been dragged into this mess I made of my life, and, uh... I'm sorry.

  Lois Lane : Was the mess so bad that cleaning it up seemed harder than throwing it all away?

  Oliver Queen : Um...

  Lois Lane : I saw the video. That's enough to send anyone on a binge. Why didn't you come talk to me?

  Oliver Queen : Pride. Fear. And, um... regret. Lois, the truth is, I've been fighting my demons for so long, I just... wanted this war to end.

  Lois Lane : And you felt like there was nothing in life worth fighting for?

  Oliver Queen : I never felt that way when I was with you. I mean, uh... I just, I-I just, I think what I mean is I-I, uh... I lost sight of... what was good in my life. I know things between you and me have changed, right?

  Lois Lane : Some things haven't changed. Ollie, I will always be here for you. And if you forget that again... I *will* knock you out.

• Oliver Queen : You know, true gamesmen... they don't cheat by stacking the deck.

  Victoria Sinclair : Well, everything was aces until your girlfriend showed up. As always, I had to play the hand I was dealt.

  Oliver Queen : So why don't you just let her go?

  Victoria Sinclair : You didn't play by my rules. Why should I play by yours? You were supposed to shoot her.

  Oliver Queen : See, that's what I don't understand. You could've killed her yourself. You could've shot me when I walked through the door. Why set the scene?

  Victoria Sinclair : One can tie up loose ends with a simple square knot, or one can choose the more elegant cloverleaf. It's all a matter of style. Oh, and I'd say I'm sorry for taking your money, except in your case, it hardly matters. You can't take it with you.

  Oliver Queen : [taking cover as she fires her gun]  So how do I know this isn't just part of your game?

  [the gunfire continues] 

  Oliver Queen : Right.

• FBI Agent : I apologize for the way you've been treated, Mr. Queen.

  Oliver Queen : You know who I am?

  FBI Agent : Mm-hmm. And we know about the game. We've been tracking this group for some time. Their M.O. is to target wealthy individuals and, eventually, hack their bank accounts.

  Oliver Queen : Really? I never thought I'd be happy she didn't want me, just my money.
