Thea Queen quotes from Arrow

Thea

A bunch of superheroes in a farm house? I feel like I've seen that in a movie before.

Oliver

We need a secure location.

What's wrong with S.T.A.R. Labs?

Oliver

Well, absolutely nothing, if you forget about the revolving door you guys installed so the bad guys can come and go as they please.

Remind me again what happened to your old lair, or the one before that...

Thea

If you're here to give me a Christmas present, you can keep whatever knife or torture device you plan on giving me.

No presents, nothing gift wrapped, at any rate.

Thea

You know you should be a nurse in your new life. You're a natural at it.

Roy

Only problem is I'm a one-patient man, and I'm already committed to you.

Thea

Is that why you're leaving? Look, I get it. Star City still has too many people who can recognize you.

Roy

You know, I thought about staying anyway. For you.

Thea

You know what you could do for me? Go and live an amazing life. Get married, have a couple of kids, get a minivan, just go be normal. There's nothing in this world that would make me happier then that.

Roy

You know if I could do all of this over again, I would do every single one of those things with you.

Thea

Me too.

Roy

I love you Thea Queen.

Thea

I love you Roy Harper.

Felicity

Please tell me the nails are the clue and not what's on the laptop's hard drive because there are 3 nails running straight through this thing.

Thea

Yeah. The bad guys went a little crazy with the nail gun.

Oliver

[about Felicity] Laurel, she's not Voldemort, and I'm fine. That's a good idea. [to Thea] You should tell Alex to talk to Felicity.

Thea

[suppressing a smile] Mm-hm.

Oliver

What?

Thea

Nothing. It's just... it's shocking that you know who Voldemort is.

Oliver

Well, I mean, I'm not immune to pop culture. I read a few of the Harry Potter books.

Diggle

Really? I was gonna bet Thea that you just saw the movies.

Oliver

There were movies?

Felicity

I was never in it for that (the thrill). Not ever. I wanted to make a difference. Be part of that beacon of hope you speak of.

Thea

So come back. Rejoin the team.

Felicity

I think I figured out another way. It's actually that insane bee-lady who gave me the idea, ironically. To remake this company. To use the technology that helped me walk again, to make people's lives better. To make Palmer Tech into the beacon of hope.

Diggle

Why does that thing creep me out the way it does?

Laurel

Because it's creepy.

Oliver

There's something I haven't told you guys.

Thea

Shocker. [Oliver gives her a look] Sorry.

Oliver

I've seen this idol before.

Laurel

What? Where?

Oliver

Lian Yu.

Laurel

You really love not talking about that place, don't you?

Malcolm

[whistles twice, then says "woof"] I know. The predictability was a terrible flaw in the design.

Thea

Predictability is your flaw, too. Every time my life starts to suck, you show up.

Thea

You realize you just accused the police department of being corrupt, at the police department gala?

Oliver

I answered a question.

Thea

And you also just put blame on the police department instead of taking responsibility for the city's crimes.

Oliver

You know I'm taking responsibility.

Thea

Yes – the other guy. But as the mayor, it looks like you're sleepwalking. Okay? Showing up late again is not helping that perception.

Thea

So he's trying to call the Green Arrow out.

Quentin

Yeah, except he doesn't know he already has him.

Thea

Alright, well, you need to go do something.

Quentin

Well, that was gonna be my line to you.

Thea

For the first time in a long time, I'm really starting to feel like myself again. I'm not a killer, I'm not a vigilante, I am a normal version of me. And I just think after everything that happened with Laurel, I really needed to know that life like this was even possible. And now that I do, I don't want to give it up.

Quentin

Yeah, yeah, I get where you're coming from. I do. I lost my job, I lost my daughter, I lost my girl, and you know, I just wanted to hit pause on the world, you know?

Thea

Yeah.

Quentin

But then I listened to Oliver's speech, and that's when I realized I can't do that. I can't hit pause. I need to get on with my life, even if that life isn't what I want it to be.

Thea

Well, as promised, I will stay on until I can find a more qualified and experienced replacement.

Oliver

I don't want experience. I want someone that I can trust, Speedy, and that person is you.

Thea

I messed up Ollie. Big time.

Oliver

No, Thea, you didn't. Follow me.

Oliver

Thank you all for coming. I'd like to address head-on, and with brutal honesty, some of the recent reports regarding my administration. Reports that suggest that while voters may have elected me, others have been making decisions in my stead. Truth of the matter is, that every decision made by any member of my administration is my decision. The buck, as they say, stops with me. Because when you are in charge, everything that your team does is on you, and I trust my team. [Quentin walks in from a side room] That team will be include former police captain Quentin Lance, who'll be serving beside me as Deputy Mayor.

Quentin

I appreciate the vote of confidence, Mr. Mayor.

Oliver

You're the right man for the job. Trust me.

Quentin

You are not actually flirting with that woman.

Thea

She can literally ruin your career.

Oliver

I haven't done anything yet.

Quentin

Oh my g– wow!

Thea

I hate that he just said "yet".

Quentin

Alright, so we're here. Where's here?

Thea

It's a place called New Oasis.

Quentin

Rehab?

Thea

You need it Quentin.

Quentin

I don't think so, not with everything that's going on right now, it's just not the time.

Thea

This is exactly the right time. And you know it. Everything has just been an excuse, keeping you away from feeling what you need to.

Quentin

I suppose you're gonna tell me exactly what that is.

Thea

I don't have to.

Quentin

Laurel.

Thea

I know you think that you've dealt with your grief on this, but all of this drinking is saying otherwise.

Quentin

It just hurts, it just hurts so much, it just hurts so much.

Thea

Yeah, I know. I know.

Quentin

And the worst thing is knowing how ashamed she'd be of me right now.

Thea

She wouldn't be ashamed of you Quentin, she would be concerned, okay? Just like I am.

Quentin

You know, I used to get shot at for a living. I don't know what it is about this building that's got me so scared.

Thea

We're afraid of things we don't know. Especially when we've been living in pain this long. It's hard to even accept the idea of being happy.

Quentin

Yeah. When did you become so wise?

Thea

I've been through a lot the last four years.

Quentin

Yeah, your mother would be proud of you.

Thea

Why don't you go in there and make Laurel proud of you?

Quentin

What about being Deputy Mayor?

Thea

It'll be waiting for you, right when you get back. I promise.

Quentin

Thanks, for everything.

Thea

Thank me by getting better.

Rene

Think in "Flashpoint", I maybe dated her in high school?

Rory

It's an alternate timeline, not an alternate reality.

Rene

What's that supposed to mean?

Rory

It means - and no offense - like in a multiverse of possibilities, there's no world where Thea goes out with, you know, someone like you.

Rene

What's that supposed to mean, "someone like me"?

Thea

It means you're not my type.

Thea

It's like what you were saying at that Christmas party. Mom and Dad would be proud.

Oliver

They might not be proud if they knew that I created something like Prometheus.

Thea

There's two types of every legacy, two versions of what we leave behind: the good and the bad. You just really have a lousy habit of focusing only on the bad.
