Oliver Queen quotes from Smallville

Chloe

You already know what you really want. We all do. We just don't listen.

Oliver

And you're sure this is it?

Chloe

This is where I belong.

Aquaman online. Canary online. Cyborg online. Impulse online.

Oliver

Arrow online.

Chloe

Watchtower is officially online... let's get to work.

Oliver

So the needs of the Cornfield Killer outweigh the needs of the rest of the world, is that it?

Chloe

Oliver, it's complicated—

Oliver

Oh, it's complicated, yeah. That's the same thing your psychopathic boyfriend told me.

Tess

Where the hell are your pants?

Oliver

Yeah... yeah, I hid my pants.

Clark

Oliver, is this your idea of fun now that you've hung up your bow?

Oliver

Should have known it was you. Clark Kent, the king of buzzkill. You and your pet rock put on a hell of a barbecue, but I had my money on Doomsday, so...

Clark

You can try and play it off as a joke. But I know that the loss of Jimmy affected us both.

Oliver

Well, I guess God's got a sick sense of humor. Oh, I'm sorry. I shouldn't be taking your name in vain.

Clark

I'm trying to make up for what happened, not add myself to the casualty list.

Oliver

Yeah, well, I can't get my thrills leaping tall buildings or outrunning speeding bullets. We mere mortals, we have to rely on a tweaked-out Ducati and the open road.

Oliver

Nice to play. I just started asking myself who knew about Lex, about Toyman. The things I'd given up, what I tried to do. Then it all occurred to me. Dinah shattered the glass in the warehouse, Bart rescued me from the car, Victor faked the computers, and Watchtower kept an eye on the whole thing. Right?

Chloe

You were living like you had a death wish, Oliver. You had to face your demons if you were ever going to make it out alive. And I had to push you over the ledge in order to pull you back.

Oliver

Did you have to push with a 3-ton truck?

Chloe

I didn't think a tricycle would be a strong enough point.

Lois

So... what was that about?

Oliver

Uh-oh. I've seen that look before, usually right before you sock me in the jaw.

Clark

I heard you were back.

Oliver

You do know, of course, you look absolute ridiculous in that, right? And I got a great tailor, hook you up with a little color, maybe.

Clark

Nice to see you finally discovered something worth living for after all.

Oliver

You've done a hell of a job keeping the world safe on your own, Clark. I'm here to help you now.

Clark

Good. Something tells me...soon the world will need all the help we can get.

Oliver

You know, Clark, if you wanna bury me in the desert for going on that date with Lois... you could've at least taken me to Nevada.

Clark

Oliver, let's not...

Oliver

I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm still gonna put up a fight. But maybe we could've hit the Strip before the main event, you know what I mean? Maybe a little Blue Man Group... maybe a little Carrot Top. You know, what I'm getting you next year for Christmas is a sense of humor.

(off screen) At last, the apprentice heeds his master's call. (fires arrow that knocks Oliver's bow out of his hands) You know why you're here?

Oliver

(removes his sunglasses and hood) Vordigan, our pathes split a long time ago.

You took your vows Oliver. Now its time to fulfill them.

Oliver

You embracred me as your own son, but I can't follow in your footsteps.

Oliver

(walking into Watchtower) Anyone home?

Chloe

What's up?

Oliver

Nothing, actually. I, uh, I thought I'd stop by and see if anyone's hungry.

John Jones

I could use some dinner. Chloe?

Chloe

Uh, sure. You're buying, Mr. Queen.

John Jones

Don't look at me, I'm living off a policeman's salary.

Oliver

Ah, fine. Dessert's on you.

John Jones

On Mars, we never had dessert. But I have grown especially fond of cookies.

Oliver

Where are the other Super Friends?

Chloe

Still waiting for them to ring me back. See, this is why I keep asking everyone to come up with some sort of standardized trouble alert. The team needs structure.

Oliver

Is that what we're lacking? You're really on a kick lately. Personal phone conversations... bank records... Amazon wish list.

Chloe

Big sister's watching.

Oliver

Is that my e-mail? Chloe, I'll have you know that those messages between me and Canary were purely platonic.

Chloe

Can we skip your virtual love life and actually focus on the job here?

Chloe

Slow night?

Oliver

Figured I'd squeeze in some target practice... and a single malt.

Chloe

Did you bring enough for the rest of the class?

Oliver

Help yourself, professor. You're running a little low on allegory tonight. Bumpy day?

Chloe

Not the smoothest. Someone asked me when the last time I had a good time was, and I didn't have an answer.

Oliver

I don't think anyone can fault you for being on the edge, Chloe. Hell, if anyone can relate it's me. I get it.

Chloe

Yeah, you can.

Oliver

You know... sometimes you got to take your fun where you can get it. And sometimes... it's right in front of your face. You just have to want to see it. Come on.

Chloe

How do I know when to let go?

Oliver

It's all about your heart. Just listen. Right there in between the beats. That's when you let go.

Oliver

A lot of women have used me for my money, I never expected it from you.

Chloe

I wasn't stealing from you Oliver, I was borrowing the cash. I'm buying insurance for the entire planet.

Chloe

All the I.D.'s I gave Clark have computer tracking chips in them. I want to keep an eye on the visitors from another planet.

Oliver
