Laurel Lance quotes from Arrow

Thea

I could use some advice. I'm sort of dating this guy who would definitely be described as a bad boy. I've figure as someone who's dated a gajillion of them...

Laurel

I haven't dated a gajillion. [Thea stares] All right, guilty as charged. You want my advice? Run. As fast as you possibly can.

Oliver

Laurel, if you wanna have a dinner, or coffee, I don't know... Call me.

Laurel

Why?

Oliver

[pauses] I don't wanna be on an island anymore

Laurel

I only bring this up because your mom busted me yesterday, and obviously we can't hang out at my house?

Oliver

Why? Because your father threatened to tase me the last time that I closed the door to your bedroom?

Laurel

What are you trying to say?

Oliver

That you you know me better than anyone, and that you are more important to me than anyone. I just I didn't wait to long to say it. [Laurel kisses him]

Laurel

You didn't wait to long. [wraps her legs around his waist] You're right on time.

Thea

What happened? Are you hurt?

Roy

Fender bender.

Laurel

He totaled his car playing Hood Junior.

Roy

At least it wasn't my car.

Quentin

So how did you get the charges dropped?

Laurel

Your friend Pike and I have been working together on the anti-vigilante task force. Do you remember?

Quentin

Hmm. Last year you were working with the Arrow. What a difference a few months makes.

Laurel

The Arrow?

Quentin

Yeah. Seems more appropriate than the Hood.

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?

Arrow

Hello Laurel.

Laurel

You're late.

Arrow

I had to circle around to make sure there wasn't a SWAT team waiting for me again.

Sara

Okay, Laurel, I wasn't trying to be a bitch.

Laurel

The title of your autobiography.

Oliver

Hey!

Laurel

You are unbelievable! You lecture me on how I need to repair my relationship with Sara when you're the one who messed it up in the first place. By screwing her! And now you're doing it again.

Oliver

You're right This is all my fault.

Laurel

Yeah. Yeah, it is.

Oliver

And is losing your job, doing drugs and being a drunk, is that my fault? Is that your family's fault? Or are you going to blame Tommy for dying?

Laurel

Screw you, Oliver.

Oliver

I have stood by you through everything– the DUI, losing your job, Laurel I was concerned about your well-being when you were trying to get my mother the death penalty!

Laurel

Yeah, you've been a real stand-up kind of guy.

Oliver

Laurel, do you think you're the only one that is having a hard time?! Do you think you're the only one with family issues? You have– you have no idea what is going on with my family right now. But I am still standing here. And you are still blaming everybody but yourself.

Laurel

Are you done?

Oliver

Yeah, I'm done. I'm done taking the blame and I'm done caring. Why don't you go have a drink. Get wasted. Go to Verdant. I'll pay for it. I have loved you for half of my life but I'm done running after you

Laurel

Helena, you don't have to do this.

Helena

Yes, I do. Because once you let the darkness inside, it never comes out.

Slade

Don't worry. I am not here to harm you.

Laurel

Go to hell.

Slade

All in good time, I'm sure. But before then, I've come to Starling City to see Oliver Queen suffer.

Laurel

Oliver? What? Why?

Slade

Because he's not the man you think he is.

Laurel

How would you know that?

Slade

Because I know Oliver Queen is The Arrow.

Laurel

I know who the Arrow is.

Quentin

Don't say another word. Don't say anything. Listen to me, there was a time when I would have sold out my badge to find out his name, you know that. But then I realized I didn't care who he was. In fact, I didn't want to know who he was.

Laurel

Why not?

Quentin

Because I knew if I knew who he really was he would become a person, okay? Maybe he has a family, friends, people to care about him, someone with a life. Then he couldn't be what I needed him to be, what this city needs him to be. See, Arrow - the man under the hood isn't important. Can you imagine what it's like to be him? What he has to live with? Day in, day out? What that's gotta be like?

Oliver

What's this for?

Laurel

Because you're important to me.

Laurel

You're really cute when you're mopey.

Oliver

I'm not mopey.

Laurel

Mopey's your default Ollie. It's part of your smoldering charm.

Oliver

I do have smoldering charm.
