Thea Queen quotes from Arrow

Thea

[to Oliver] You're not my father. And you're barely my brother.

Thea

You don't want to believe it because you have this perfect image of Mom in your head. That's not who she is, Ollie. She's a liar. And a cheater. And you really don't know her at all.

Thea

Well, looks like the real estate value of the Glades just went up. [off Oliver's look] It's called gallows humor.

Thea

You know, there are times that I feel like my life completely fell apart when Roy left. From the bloodlust to Malcolm to the coma. Knowing he was out there, that he was okay, it made my life just a little bit easier. Ever since Mom died, I haven't known much of anything other than the fact that I want to make sure that he is safe! And I will do whatever it takes to make sure that happens.

Moira Queen

You're grounded for two weeks.

Thea Queen

Grounded? I've never been grounded.

Moira

Well, you never committed larceny before.

Thea

Since when do you care?

Moira

I've always cared. I'm your mother.

Thea

Look, we've had a good thing for the last five years. Why mess with that now?

Moira

No, we are paying off store owners to keep your record clean, so clearly, it hasn't been working.

Thea

And you're going to teach me? It's Oliver, isn't it? His judgmental hypocrisy is rubbing off on you.

Moira

No, I don't need Oliver to teach me how to parent you. You'll be home by 4:00.

Thea

Or what? You're going to call the cops on me? Tell them I say hi.

Thea

And you get me this. I mean, it's an arrowhead.

Oliver

Oh, man. Thea, I bought that in the gift shop at the Beijing airport. Now I'm sort of happy I didn't buy you the shot glass with the panda on it, 'cause then you'd be worried I was Panda Man.

Moira

I expect you to be there.

Oliver

I have plans.

Moira

That's fine. Brunch is tomorrow.

Thea

Hmm. inches from a clean getaway.

Moira

Well, you too, Thea.

Oliver

Snap.

Thea

Nobody says that anymore.

Oliver

What?

Thea

[on the phone] Mom says I'm supposed to remind you to pick her up for lunch.

Oliver

Was I supposed to have lunch with her today?

Thea

She says she left you, like, five messages. Just bite the bullet and have a Cobb salad with the woman.

Oliver

You know, Thea, sometimes it's difficult to remember which one of you is my mother. [hangs up on her]

Thea

You bailed on your party.

Oliver

It seemed like the right move. I mean, like you said, it... wasn't the best timing.

Thea

OK, but when I was saying I was saying that, that was me being a bitch.

Thea

I've seen the movie before.

Oliver

Cut me some slack. I've been gone for a while and apparently I missed the cinematic genius that is Zach... Galifianak... is(?)

Thea

You didn't show up for the job I got you.

Roy Harper

Yeah, I had second thoughts on parking your brother's Bentley.

Thea

What, being a valet is beneath you?

Roy

No, but accepting charity from some rich girl is.

Thea

Why are you so obsessed with the fact that I have money? You know, money isn't everything.

Roy

[scoffs] Spoken like someone who's got it. Now, uh, if you excuse me, I need to get back to my life of crime.

Thea

Why do you have a gun?

Roy

Because I'm no good with knives.

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.

Thea

Eavesdrop much?

Roy

Ah, what I lack in height, I make up for in wicked good hearing.

Roy

You go see your mom yet?

Thea

I thought about what you said.

Roy

And?

Thea

And... I'll go see her when you stop going out at night looking to clean up the streets.

Roy

What does one thing have to do with the other?

Thea

I guess they're both things that are never going to happen.
