Oliver Queen quotes from Smallville

Clark

Quiet weekend at home, huh?

Chloe

Trust me, we had no idea the two of you would be there.

Lois

And we had no idea there was even a "you two", which I think is perfect. I think fate has brought us together.

Oliver

Well, it's a... it's... it's a little less fate, actually.

Chloe

(cuts in) More fame.

Oliver

(mumbles) Like fame.

Chloe

This inn is so far off the beaten bath that even the society pages couldn't find Star City's most eligible bachelor here.

Lois

You mean ex-bachelor.

Lois

Let's talk about Mr. Green, in the bedroom, with my cousin.

Oliver

And there it is.

Tess

Black on black, that's hard for you to pull off.

Oliver

Well, it's easier than you think. (pauses)

Tess

(realizes something) Green Arrow.

Clark

I let myself in.

Oliver

Terrific. You, uh, hop up to the helipad or just superspeed past security, Clark?

Clark

I used the elevator.

Oliver

How human of you.

Rick Flag

Your satellite was tracking them -- symbols that looked just like The Blur's, which makes him the person of interest. But what's your connection to all this?

Oliver Queen

Man, I told you. You got this whole thing wrong, okay? I'm what you call a good guy here! I'm not guilty of anything here except trying to save the world! All right? And I would tell you who from but I don't think you'd believe me.

Rick Flag

Try me.

Oliver Queen

These little green guys from outer space. (laughs)

Lois Lane

There is a guy out there, Gordon Godfrey, and he thinks that Green Arrow is my ex-boyfriend.

Oliver Queen

He does?

Lois Lane

Hmm.

Oliver Queen

You know I think we just leave him alone. You know let the blowhard eventually blow himself out, and in the meantime I can handle a few slings and arrows. I'm sure you can too.

Lois Lane

Oliver, Godfrey's got proof! He has a secret chapter about you, and he's gonna post it online tomorrow. He knows who you are.

Oliver Queen

Maybe people deserve to know the truth.

Lois Lane

People deserve to be saved. And it's safer for you to be in the shadows, it's safer for all the heroes.

Oliver Queen

Maybe, or maybe the cost of keeping my secret is getting too high, and it's time to pay the piper.

Lois Lane

If you're not seriously gonna stand up and kick this creep to the curb, then I will!

Clark Kent

In the future, Lois already knew about me. What I didn't see is how I told her and when. My instincts have always been to keep my secret, but then I see five minutes of the future that seems too good to be true, and--

Oliver Queen

You came over here hoping that I would try to talk you out of telling her, right?

Clark Kent

No. Maybe.

Oliver Queen

Well... I hate to break it to you, but I say go for it. Best thing I ever did. I could finally be myself. And it turns out people actually like the real me.

Clark Kent

If I remember correctly, coming out to Lois did not have a happy ending. You told Lois the truth, and she dumped you.

Oliver Queen

That - we broke up. Look, Lois and I were never really meant to be together. Clark, she loves you. That makes you a lucky man. Take it from me, living without love is not really living, it's just sort of existing. The question you have to ask yourself is what are you willing to risk for love?

Tess Mercer

So let me get this straight. Lois finds a necklace, gets possessed by an Egyptian Goddess, and now is flying around like Amelia Earhart, minus the plane.

Oliver Queen

Just another Friday night in Metropolis. Who's ready for the weekend?

Clark Kent

(to Oliver, as they are talking in the loft) You got to go.

Oliver Queen

What, the window? What are we, 16?

Clark Kent

Now.

Tess Mercer

No need to worry, my friend.

Oliver Queen

I think it's a little early for "friend". "Friendly" -- I can do that. I can be friendly.

Tess Mercer

I'll take it. I was beginning to think the best I could do was "frenemy".

Oliver Queen

I don't even know what that means. We've, uh... We've survived tax audits and typhoons together, Tess. I think we're practically like family at this point.

Tess Mercer

We've come a long way. From the middle of the ocean to the top of the city.

Oliver Queen

I can work with that.

Almost done, Mr. Queen.

Oliver Queen

What's with the secret workout room here, huh? Is this a, uh, a secret tryout for the NFL?

Slade Wilson

You're strong and extremely agile with coordination that's off the charts.

Oliver Queen

I'm human.

Slade Wilson

Well, I commend your performance. We'd love to have someone with your gifts serve our country. Help us bring in your less cooperative cohorts.

Oliver Queen

Look, I'll be your poster boy. I'll say your words, I'll be your face, but it ends with me, you understand? Now, there are people out there who want to believe in you. They want to believe in this country. Give them a chance to prove that, to be the heroes that we all need.

Slade Wilson

You got nerve, I like that. But your draft card wasn't a two-for-one special. Please, allow me to make a more convincing argument.

Oliver Queen

Clark, come on. Now the whole world thinks I'm a terrorist. I mean, that's not exactly something you want on your Fortune 500 bio or at your wedding, so...

Clark Kent

Well, that's too bad, 'cause I was just about to invite you to be my best man. You're the guy who stands next to me on the worst days of my life. And I want you there for the best one, too.

Oliver Queen

Hey, I -- you kidding? Absolutely. Thank you. (shakes Clark's hand)

Carter Hall

All I can say is when it comes to planning the wedding, just nod. A lot.

Oliver Queen

Well, you would know, right? I mean, you married Shayera, what, a hundred times now?

Dr. Emil Hamilton

Well, I've heard of relationships that withstand the test of time, but that's remarkable. Oh, or not, I suppose. For you.

Carter Hall

Even though I married Shayera a hundred times, I had to lose her that many, as well. Now, I know I don't usually get all warm and fuzzy, but I am sorry. About Chloe.

Oliver Queen

You're not gonna hug me now, are you?

Chloe Sullivan

You're not hallucinating, Oliver, and you're not insane. Trust me.

Oliver Queen

Really? Well, that's kind of hard to believe, considering you just materialized out of a wall.

Chloe Sullivan

I've got to get you out of here.

Oliver Queen

Chloe? Hate to rain on your program, but I'm in a straightjacket. I'm in a cell in a lockdown wing of a hospital. I-I'm not going anywhere.

Chloe Sullivan

Only if you believe that's true. Simple mind over matter. Because I believe everything I see is fake, I'm not limited by it. I have power. The sooner you believe everything you see is fantasy, the sooner you can manipulate it. Break free of it.

Oliver Queen

(straightjacket disappears) How'd you do that?

Chloe Sullivan

I didn't. You did.
