Oliver Queen quotes from Smallville

Victor

Ollie found me. I was living on the streets. He gave me a warm meal, roof over my head.... and a reason to go on living.

Oliver

Did he just say something nice about me?

Maybe he's starting to rust.

Clark

A.C., how'd you fall into all this?

I got into a little trouble sinking a whaler off the coast of Japan.

Victor

A little trouble? That's what you're gonna go with? Ollie had to save your scaly butt from getting filleted.

I would have gotten out of it.

Oliver

Before or after they packed you into a thousand little tin cans?

Victor

Well, at least he would have been dolphin-safe.

Fish jokes. That's all I ever get are fish jokes.

Oliver

Green Arrow to Watchtower, Boy Scout's out of the woods.

Clark

"Boy Scout"?

Oliver

Maybe if you hadn't run off all half-cocked, you could have picked your own code name.

Oliver

Ever since my parents died, I've jumped around from city to city, from continent to continent and in all those years, not once have I regretted leaving anyone. But then I met you.

Lois

Then stay.

Oliver

I can't. Because there are more important things in this world than what I want.... and what I love. Someday I can explain why.

Lois

Don't expect me to be waiting around for that when you get back.

Oliver

I'm not coming back, Lois. At least not any time soon. I'm sorry. I never wanted to hurt you.

Lois

Well, you finally got around to it anyway, didn't you?

Oliver

This is it, the moment, right? The moment that I'm gonna regret for the rest of my life, isn't it?

Lois

Yes.

Clark

Impulse, Cyborg, Aquaman, Green Arrow. What do you guys call your team?

Bart

I don't know. I've been thinking, you know, that we need something cool. We need something like.... like-

Oliver

I was thinking about something with the word "justice" in it. After all, that's what Lex is gonna get a big dose of.

Lois

(slapping Oliver across the face) That's for breaking my heart!

Oliver

(wincing) Really? 'Cause it felt like it was for not calling when I got back in town.

Lois

Oh, that one will come when you're least expecting it. Will you put a shirt on or something?

Oliver

The whole jumping to conclusions thing before you get the full story? How's that working out for you?

Lois

Huge time-saver.

Oliver

I missed you... more than you can possibly know.

Lois

If you think that glistening-muscle-answering the door in your bare chest routine was gonna work... you were dead on.

Dinah Lance

I'm not really a team player.

Oliver

Good. Then you'll fit right in.

Oliver

Lois?

Lois

Oh, don't even think of looking at me now. So, in all those nights together, somewhere between brushing teeth and spooning in the sheets, you didn't think that it might be a good time to mention that you prowl the streets with green leather and a compound bow?

Oliver

Well, I don't usually bring the compound bow.

Lois

Oh, so now he's a funny hero. I can't believe you didn't tell me that you were Green Arrow!

Oliver

Hard to imagine why when you're taking it so well.

Lois

You think the lacerating ropes and platinum fembot... might have something to do with my lack of empathy? So, what? Little Ollie got bored with dodgeball in P.E... and decided to play William Tell? Whoa... wait a second. I kissed Green Arrow last year when you were standing there with me in the alley!

Oliver

Yeah. I remember that with precise detail.

Lois

I can't believe you! You, who were supposedly my boyfriend, arranged for me to be lip-locked with some wannabe hero!

Oliver

I'd be careful, Clark. Pretty soon, you'll be sporting a homemade costume and leading a double identity just like the rest of us.

Dinah

You might want to try a little more formfitting.

Oliver

(walking in on Lois and Clark at the jewelry store) What are you two doing here?

Lois

Oliver! Uh, didn't get the invitation yet?

Oliver

Invitation to what?

Lois

Uh, tell him, cupcake.

Clark

(shooting Lois a look) Wh... Lois and I are... we're getting married.

Clark

Tell me you're sober.

Oliver

Let me tell you something— I wish I wasn't sober. I can be in a cabana in Aruba right now. Instead, I'm in the middle of downtown on a rooftop with you guys.

Clark

You didn't hear me complain when I had to put on green leather to protect your identity.

Oliver

Clark, you made out with my girlfriend, man. What did you have to complain about?

Oliver

Hallmark didn't have any "Welcome back to Earth" cards. So...

Clark

It's nice to see everyone has a key to this place.

Oliver

That still doesn't explain how you're hacking into that crystal, Chloe. It's not hooked up to anything, there's no computer here.

Chloe

Do I tell you how to shoot your arrows? I don't think so.

Lana

So Oliver Queen moonlights as Green Arrow. Does Clark know about you?

Oliver

I think I can safely say he knows more of my secrets than he does yours. You're not going to tell me you're down here on vacation fishing for marlin, are you?

Lana

We both know that two hours ago more than 430,000 megagigs of LuthorCorp RAM and ethernet cables were running through this place.

Oliver

Sounds like we each came here with a score to settle.

I can't ever totally make it up to you or your friends but I would like to try to make sure that something like this doesn't happen again.

Oliver

Here's a thought... don't do it again.
