Oliver Queen quotes from Arrow

Oliver

I spoke to Malcolm.

Moira

You what? He could have killed you. He killed your father.

Oliver

No, he didn't. After the "Gambit" went down, Dad and I both made it to the life raft. Then we drifted, for days. In the end, there wasn't enough food and water for both of us. So he shot himself in the head.

Moira

I don't want to hear this.

Oliver

He sacrificed himself so that I could live. Do you really think that I could go on living knowing that you sacrificed thousands more in my name? Mom. Please. You have to help me stop Malcolm. We need to know where the device is.

Malcolm

Welcome, gentlemen. I've been waiting for you. I wanted to see you watch your city die.

Oliver

Where's the transmitter?

Malcolm

Somewhere I can easily get to it.

Diggle

I doubt it. You'd be too dead.

Malcolm

Don't struggle. It's over. There was never any doubt in the outcome. Don't worry. Your mother and sister will be joining you in death.

Oliver

[stabs Malcolm with arrow] Thank you for teaching me what I'm fighting for. But my father taught me how.

Oliver

The city still needs saving. But not by the Hood. Or some vigilante who's just crossing names off a list. It needs something more.

Diggle

It needs a hero, Oliver.

Felicity

It's too bad The Hoods kind of ruined your nickname.

Oliver

No, it's good. I don't want to be called The Hood anymore.

Diggle

Okay. So what do you want to be called? [close up of the green arrow on the shaft]

Shado

You've come very far in a few months. Don't beat yourself up.

Oliver

Apparently that's his job.

Slade

And I love my job.

Felicity

Did you know I went to M.I.T.? Guess what I majored in? Hint - Not the secretarial arts.

Oliver

Felicity! We all need to have secret identities now. If I'm going to be Oliver Queen CEO, then I can't very well travel down 18 floors every time you and I need to discuss how we spend our nights.

Felicity

And I love spending the night with you. [she pauses as she realises what she's just said] 3, 2, 1. I worked very hard to get where I am, and it wasn't so I can fetch you coffee.

Diggle

Well, it could be worse. My secret identity is his black driver.

Oliver

Ms. Smoak. Would you get my guest and I some coffee?

Felicity

You know, I would, Mr. Queen, but it seems that someone has broken the coffeemaker. [whispers] Violently.

Shado

No island, no place, can make you something you're not.

Oliver

So I've always been a killer?

Shado

Everyone has a demon inside of them. The "dao de jing" recognizes the yin and the yang, opposing forces inside all of us. The darkness and the light. The killer and the hero.

Oliver

Hey.

Laurel

Please do not ask me if I am okay because I am sick of everyone asking me that.

Oliver

I would never do that.

Laurel

Good.

Oliver

Are you okay?

Diggle

You know, Oliver, somebody once told me that secrets have weight. The more you keep, the harder it is to keep moving.

Oliver

You see how hard I work out.

Sara

There were things that I did; things that I had to do to survive. Things that there's no forgiveness for.

Oliver

Well, that's the thing about forgiveness--you can't get it until you ask for it.

Felicity

This is Knyazev's man inside the prison. A guard.

Oliver

He'll know where in the Gulag Lyla is being held.

Felicity

When all hell breaks loose, you need to meet us at the rendevous point with Lyla, or...

Diggle

Or I'm a permanent Russian.

Felicity

What were you thinking?

Oliver

What?

Felicity

Over 64 million woman over the age of consent in Russia and you sleep with her.

Oliver

So... We're not doing the "What happens in Russia stays in Russia"?

Felicity

We're still in Russia.

Oliver

What do you want?

The Count

World peace and personal satisfaction. Though not necessarily in that order.

Felicity

Mrs. Queen, welcome back to the company.

Moira

Thank you.

Felicity

You look fabulous. Really. Better than ever. Did you do something to your hair?

Moira

Yes. I shampooed it without eight woman and a guard watching me.

Felicity

[giggles] Is it okay to laugh? Because I was ordered not say anything about you being in prison just to avoid any awkward exchanges.

Oliver

[whispers to Felicity] Like that one.
