Oliver Queen quotes from Smallville

Oliver

(capturing a centipede) All right, here's the deal. Normally I don't eat anything with more than 99 legs on it, but I haven't eaten in days. Kind of a bummer for both of us, right?

Oliver

You saved my life, Chloe. Both the myth... and the man.

Oliver

Five dozen roses? Wow. That's subtle.

Lois

[to Oliver] Well, I wasn't going to give it to you, but the tights... you're totally pulling it off.

Lex

You should see him in a tutu.

Oliver Queen

Lex Luthor... with a girl that he doesn't have to inflate.

Oliver

This is funny. You know, the way Lois talked about you, I thought you were gonna be a little bit more of a...

Clark

Little more what? Of a geek?

Lois

Well, you're not exactly jumping the velvet ropes at nightclubs, so...

Clark

It's really nice to see that Lois has found someone who can overlook her personality.

Oliver

Oh, don't worry about it, Clark. If I lived under the same roof with such a beautiful woman, I probably would mask my feelings in sarcasm, too.

Oliver

[discussing Lois investigating the Green Arrow] Look, forget about this guy for the weekend. I can have you in Cancun by sunset, sipping margaritas.

Lois

Well, as much as I'd love to be your beach bimbo, the only person I'll be spending my weekend with is into leather and has a perverted fetish for archery.

Oliver

Clark, you have abilities I couldn't even dream of. And I admire that you use them to save the people you're close to.

Clark

But?

Oliver

But there's a whole world of people out there, Clark. They need us. With your potential... you can't wait for them to come to you. When you're ready to do something about that, you let me know.

Oliver

Clark, I was wondering if my security system would keep someone like you out.

Clark

Looks like you need an upgrade.

Oliver

Or you need to learn how to knock.

Oliver

I was thinking about developing a boxing-glove arrow, and then I thought, "come up with something a little fancier". [shoots an arrow] Contained Electromagnetic Pulse. Knocks out everything electrical within an 8-foot radius: cameras, laser systems... pacemakers. That last one was a joke, Clark.

Clark

I'm laughing on the inside.

Oliver

Maybe we'll get lucky one day and it'll bubble to the surface.

Clark

Making the wrong choices and living with the consequences... it's not easy, is it?

Oliver

Speaking from experience, huh?

Clark

More than I'd like.

Oliver

You know, we all make bad choices, Clark. All we can do is hope to make the right ones in the future, right?

Clark

You're looking awfully healthy.

Oliver

It's called exercise, Clark. It's something we mere mortals have to do from time to time.

Clark

According to the Daily Planet, the Green Arrow was shot last night.

Oliver

If I was shot, don't you think I'd be laying in a hospital or a morgue? I'm not bulletproof like you are, Clark.

Oliver

Apparently, you were too busy using your powers to bale hay than to realize there's a crime wave in Metropolis. Let me ask you a question. Are you ever gonna get off your ass and finally do something for a change?

Clark

I didn't come here to be insulted.

Oliver

Well you know what? There's the door. I don't remember you being invited.

Clark

Oliver, what's going on with you?

Oliver

Clark, I don't need to take advice from someone whose only worry in life is to protect his own identity.

Clark

Oliver, you're not a killer!

Oliver

No, but he is, Clark. You and I both know the world's a better place without Lex Luthor.

Clark

That's not for us to decide.

Clark

What made you come to your senses?

Oliver

Actually, you did. This whole time, I just wanted to be like Clark Kent, you know? I wanted to... I wanted to have the ability to bring justice to the world without having to worry about getting killed in the process. And then something occurred to me, and I realized that Clark Kent would never take another man's life. I came within an inch of doing just that. I'm not even in your league.

Clark

Oliver, you do a lot of good in this world. You don't need to be indestructible to be a hero.

Oliver

Rain check?

Lois

Sure. I'll just put it next to the rest of the umbrellas you keep handing me. I mean, is it just me or is this relationship all interruptus and no coitus?
