Oliver Queen quotes from Arrow

Oliver

But I'm very particular about what it is I put in my body.

Felicity

I noticed. [Oliver stares] I said, not noticed. Right?

Tommy

Can I talk to you about something?

Oliver

Tommy, every time you want to talk to me about something and that something is Laurel you look like you're about to tell me you have a terminal disease.

Slade Wilson

Obviously you were never a Boy Scout.

Oliver

[sarcastically] Yeah? What tipped you off?

Slade

You'd better hurry. The wolves come out at night.

Oliver

There're wolves here? Right, of course there are, because what would the worst place on earth be without wolves?

Slade

The only thing that'll keep them out is fire.

Oliver

Well, y'know, you're welcome to help! [Slade lights the wood with a lighter.] Seriously? I've been working on this for two hours!

Slade

I know, I was watching you. Thank you...for the entertainment.

Oliver

I know this. They picked the one book that I read in college.

Slade

What the hell are you talking about?

Oliver

It's a quote from The Odyssey: "Of all creatures that breathe and move upon the earth, nothing is born that is weaker than man."

Slade

[after Oliver laughs] What?

Oliver

I'm trapped on an island, and my only friend is named Wilson.

Oliver

Hmm. It's not how I typically get my information.

Felicity

How do you typically do it?

Oliver

I find the person, and then I put the fear of God into them until they talk. [Felicity does a take.] But we can try your way.

Slade

You're not going to last an hour out there.

Oliver

Well, I guess you better hope I get back in 45 minutes, then.

Oliver

Hey, I need your bike.

Are you kidding me?

Oliver

No. [knocks him unconscious]

Felicity

The first time anyone's ever been grateful for traffic cameras.

Why are you doing this? I’m exactly like you. I only steal from the rich.

Oliver

[shocks the Dodger in the chest with his own tazer] I’m not Robin Hood.

Slade

That's broken. It got busted during the crash.

Oliver

Did you try to get it to work?

Slade

I'm better at pulling things apart.

Oliver

My father was a pilot and he used to do his own maintenance.

Slade

So you're hoping that aircraft maintenance is genetic?

Oliver

No, I used to help him and I liked it. Then I got pretty good at it. So maybe I-

Slade

You should be training for the inevitable fight that's looming.

Oliver

I think I have a better chance of making the radio work.

Oliver

We can't just sit here and wait for Fyers to come and kill us.

Slade

I did have one idea. If you go into the forest and gather as much bamboo as you can find...

Oliver

Yeah?

Slade

We could build ourselves a boat like they did on Gilligan's Island.

Your father's been poisoned. An assassin named Floyd Lawton laces his bullets with curare. I've dealt with this before. We need to dilute the poison in bloodstream.

Tommy

I said stay the hell back!

In three minutes he's paralyzed. In four minutes, he suffocates. If you don't let me help you now, he's dead before anybody gets here!

Tommy

Help. How?

Fresh blood buys him time to get to the hospital.

Tommy

A blood transfusion? That's insane!

It's the only way. He needs your blood. You're out of time. You need to make a decision right now.

Tommy

Why should I trust you?

Oliver

[pulls off his hood showing his face to Tommy] Because you always have.

Diggle

Oliver, if you still didn't have feelings for this girl, you would have followed a different solution than letting her extort you into killing someone.

Oliver

So what do you want me to do? You want me to kill her?

Diggle

I think you would have along time ago if she looked like me instead of the T-Mobile girl. She's a stone cold killer, Oliver.

Helena

Sorry, am I... interrupting something?

Oliver

We were just... talking about you.

Helena

And here I thought you didn't care much about me.

Diggle

Still don't.

Oliver

Helena.

Diggle

Yes, or as I like to call her, your psycho ex-girlfriend.
