Thea Queen quotes from Arrow

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.

[about Roy] You know you're dating a moron, right?

Thea

It's my first and last thought of every day.

Crap. I like her.

Moira

There's only one way this night can end and we both know that, don't we, Mr. Wilson?

Oliver

Mom!

Moira

Please tell me both my children will live.

Thea

Mom! What are you doing?! Mom!

Moira

Thea, I love you. Close your eyes, baby!

Oliver

NO!

Slade

You possess true courage. I am truly sorry you did not pass that on to your son.

Thea

If you're going to kill me, just... get over with it.

Kill you? Why? Because you shot me? I'm glad you did.

Thea

You're sick.

Perhaps. How else to explain the fact not a year ago, your brother held to a gun to my face as well.

Thea

Tommy.

He lacked conviction. The strength to pull the trigger, but not you, Thea. You are made of iron. You are truly my daughter, and I could not be more proud.

So why did you reach out to me?

Thea

You reached first.

Still.

Thea

I don't want to feel this pain again. I don't want to hurt or get hurt ever again, and you seem like someone who could teach me how not to.

Thea

I didn't come all the way to South America to have you poison me, did I?

[chuckles] It's a meditative tea. It will activate your mind and body.

Thea

I think I'm gonna need a little bit more than tea to learn to use one of those. [Nods at the swords]

The Sōhei Buddhist warriors believed that first you must fight with your mind, then your sword. I remember when I was training to be a warrior, I began just like you, devastated by my wife's death. I was angry and hurt. The pain was unbearable. Like this. [Pours boiling water over his hand]

Thea

You're out of your mind! Put your hand in here!

Every warrior must learn the simple truth: that pain is inevitable and suffering is optional.

Thea

Please don't... don't do what I think you're going to do.

You asked me to teach you. [Pours boiling water over Thea's hand]

Thea

I was afraid you wouldn't react well to the idea of me taking his money.

Oliver

It's blood money, Thea! You don't know what Malcolm Merlyn is capable of!

Thea

I know what his money is capable of - renting me this really sweet loft.

Oliver

Listen to me. He's alive, and if you take his money, he has a hold on you.

Thea

I think you're being a little melodramatic. I'm his daughter, okay? He's not gonna put me in danger.

Oliver

He's responsible for the death of 503 innocent people, including your brother.

Thea

Now that is a card you do not get to play.

Thea

Dad, I could have killed you.

Heh. It’s cute that you think so.

Thea

You smell like smoke. Korean barbecue?

Oliver

C4. Yeah.

Tommy

You shouldn't grow up too fast.

Thea

Yeah, well, you're not my brother.

Tommy

You're right, no, I'm not. But I think about him every single day. For the first time, I'm glad he's gone. 'Cause seeing you like this would break his heart.

Thea

It's funny how Ollie seems to care more about me now that he's dead than he did when he was alive.

Slade

Come on, then. You've earned it.

Oliver

Thea, don't!

Thea

He killed Mom!

Oliver

And he will continue to pay for his crimes, but not like this! You're a not a killer!

Thea

Yeah, tell that to Sara!

Oliver

What happened to Sara is not on you! What happens to him is! All this is what Malcolm wanted. He freed Slade to prove we're killers because he wants you to be just like him. You got to prove to him that you're not

Thea

How could you make me kill a friend?

He should not have told you that.

Thea

I trusted you. I let you into my life. How could you have done this to me?

Because you are my daughter, Thea, and I care about you.

Thea

Oh, God, that's sick. And not even remotely true!

You do not understand the danger we face from Ra's al Ghul!

Thea

Just stop! Stop using him as an excuse. The only person I'm afraid of right now is you.

Please, do not do this...

Thea

Please, stop. I will work with you to stop Ra's. Because that's what my brother says we need to do. So I will be your student. I'll be your partner. Even if I have to, I will be your soldier. But never again will I be your daughter.

Thea

Jason, I have a '67 Mustang that need a little work on it. Someone said you were the guy to see.

Roy

You came to the right place.

Oliver

Be safe out there, okay?

Thea

As safe as anybody with a mask on can be. But, actually, I was thinking, um, maybe I can call myself the Red Arrow.

Oliver

Hmm. I think I already told everyone to call you Speedy.

Thea

So what are you gonna call yourself now? Everybody thinks Roy was the Arrow.

Diggle

Well he won't need a code name if he's headed back to Ivy Town.

Oliver

[looks at Felicity] Well I guess I need a code name. Felicity and I, we have missed this. We've missed all of you. And the city is far worse off than we thought.

Laurel

What are you talking about?

Oliver

The man leading the Ghosts is Damien Darhk.

Laurel

Darhk left Star City months ago. Why would he come back?

Diggle

Did Ra's tell you anything about Darhk that would give us any idea about his agenda?

Oliver

He said that Damien Darhk had a hive of operatives at his disposal.

Diggle

Hive. That was the exact word he used?

Oliver

Yes. Why? Does it mean something to you?

Diggle

Who would want to kill Andy?

Deadshot

I don't know their names. Just an alias. H.I.V.E.

Diggle

No. No, nothing.
