Tommy Merlyn quotes from Arrow

Tommy

You know, ironically if we get any more people in here we're gonna violate the fire code.

Tommy

Apparently he wants to mend some fences, but thanks to him I can't afford a fence, so I can only assume he has some other agenda.

Tommy

By my rough estimate, you have not had sex in 1839 days. As your wingman, I highly recommend Carmen Golden.

Oliver

Which one is she?

Tommy

The one that looks like the chick from Twilight.

Oliver

What's Twilight?

Tommy

You're so better off not knowing.

Tommy Merlyn

Wow. You look just really lovely.

Laurel

Lovely. Well, it's nice that you've extended your vocabulary from words like hot and mega hot.

Tommy

You can just say thank you, you know.

Oliver

Who are you? Where's my friend Tommy Merlyn? The guy who once rented out a football stadium so that he could play strip kickball with models?

Tommy

That guy needed a swift kick in his lazy ass.

Tommy

I'm learning you're not much of a morning snuggler.

Laurel

And I'm learning that you don't like to wake up at any hour that ends in a.m.

Tommy

Yeah, that's true.

Tommy

Can I talk to you about something?

Oliver

Tommy, every time you want to talk to me about something and that something is Laurel you look like you're about to tell me you have a terminal disease.

Malcolm

I'm being honored by the Starling City Municipal Group. They're honoring me with their annual humanitarian award.

Tommy

What, they ran out of actual humans to give it to?

Your father's been poisoned. An assassin named Floyd Lawton laces his bullets with curare. I've dealt with this before. We need to dilute the poison in bloodstream.

Tommy

I said stay the hell back!

In three minutes he's paralyzed. In four minutes, he suffocates. If you don't let me help you now, he's dead before anybody gets here!

Tommy

Help. How?

Fresh blood buys him time to get to the hospital.

Tommy

A blood transfusion? That's insane!

It's the only way. He needs your blood. You're out of time. You need to make a decision right now.

Tommy

Why should I trust you?

Oliver

[pulls off his hood showing his face to Tommy] Because you always have.

Oliver

Oh, look at these. What sort of business has a lost and found that's just filled with women's underwear?

Tommy

Best business ever? Ohh, having this much fun should be against the law.

Quentin

Oh, if wishing made it so.

Quentin

You look after them, all right?

Tommy

I spend most nights at your daughter's anyway. [beat] There was probably a better time to tell you that.

Quentin

Probably not.

Malcolm

She bled out into the pavement while people passed and did nothing. Your mother build her clinic in the Glades because she wanted to save this city. It can't be saved, because the people there don't want to be saved.

Tommy

So you kill them all?

Malcolm

[furious] YES! They deserve to die. All of them! The way she died!

Tommy

[a hallucination] Get up, Oliver.

Arrow

Tommy?

Tommy

You're not gonna die down here.

Arrow

I'm sorry, Tommy. I let you die...

Tommy

You didn't let me die, Ollie. You fought to save me, because that's what you do, what you have always done. You fight to survive. I know I called you a murderer, but you are not. You are a hero. You beat the island. You beat my father. So fight, Oliver. Get up and fight back.

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.

Please state your name for the record.

Tommy

Thomas Merlyn. "Tommy" 's fine, if you want.

Mr. Merlyn, you were declared dead May 15, 2013.

Tommy

That night, my father destroyed a large portion of the city. With a heightened scrutiny on my family, I took the opportunity to fake my own death to protect my identity as the Hood.

Three years ago, Roy Harper confessed to being the Hood.

Tommy

To protect me. And then he was attacked in prison. I have lived with that guilt for three years. I am not about to let Oliver take the blame for me the same way that Roy did. And that's why I'm here. To set the record straight.
