Justin Hartley: Oliver Queen

Quotes 

• Oliver Queen : [to a group of reporters]  Thank you all for coming. I brought you here to make an announcement. People have these so-called vigilantes all wrong. There's only one way for me to set the record straight. I am Green Arrow.

• Lois Lane : Who's your mama?

  Oliver Queen : Is that a trick question? What, uh... what is this?

  Lois Lane : That is the only copy on the chapter of Green Arrow that Godfrey was gonna reveal today. Yours truly picked Godfrey's pocket, so you can rest assured that your secret is safe.

  Oliver Queen : Hmm.

  Lois Lane : "Wow, Lois. 007's got nothing on you. You're a brilliant and talented super sleuth."

  Oliver Queen : Thank you. I appreciate it. I know how much trouble you must've gone to to get this. But... I can't, uh... I can't have the people that I love fighting my battles for me anymore, Lois.

  Lois Lane : What is this? Does this have anything to do with why Chloe took an extended vacation?

• Oliver Queen : Chloe's not catching a tan on a beach somewhere like I told you she was. The truth is... she left. And I don't think she's coming back.

  Lois Lane : What happened? Is she okay?

  Oliver Queen : She's okay. She's fine. But when a person that you love knows your secret, it becomes their secret, too. And she was willing to give up everything to protect it, which, unfortunately, included me.

  Lois Lane : Wait. I-I think that she probably just needs space. I know how she feels about you. She'll be back.

  Oliver Queen : Well, I hope you're right. This has gone on long enough.

  Lois Lane : What's happening? What are you doing, Oliver?

  Oliver Queen : Doing what I have to.

• Oliver Queen : Mom. Hey, dad. I've been, um... really trying to live my life in a way that would make you, uh, proud. Of me. I, uh, sort of feel like I've let you down. You always said the most important thing was taking care of others, and I, uh... I tried. But I failed at that. The woman that I, uh, that I love... she... she sacrificed everything to protect me. And, I'm... sort of trying to figure out how to live with that. I can't have other people risking their lives for me. This has to stop. I'm sorry.

• Lois Lane : Wow. "Mortal Kombat" meets wood-chipper. I like it. Too bad you have more to worry about right now than a 2x4.

  Oliver Queen : Ah, I'm glad to see that Africa managed to survive the whole Lois Lane invasion. Tell me, what brings little miss cut-and-run back to town?

  Lois Lane : Destiny.

  Oliver Queen : That old thing?

  Lois Lane : Mm-hmm.

  Oliver Queen : You know, you're not fooling anyone racking up all these airline miles. I know all about pre-emptive strikes, okay? You hurt them first, you don't have to worry about the ways you're gonna eventually let them down later on. Then you give 'em whiplash racing back because you regret it.

  Lois Lane : Easy with the dress-down, buddy. I just ran for the hills because I thought that I was gonna mess things up for Clark. We are so different; not a bad different. I just don't know how his chocolate and my peanut butter are gonna mix.

  Oliver Queen : Huh. I've never known you to surrender to anyone. Or anything.

• 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 : Mm-hmm.

  Oliver Queen : You know, I think we just leave him alone. You know, let the blowhard eventually blow himself out. 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 : Well, maybe people deserve to know the truth.

  Lois Lane : People deserve to be saved. And it is safer for you if you're in the shadows. It's safer for all the heroes.

  Oliver Queen : Maybe. Or maybe the cost of keeping my secret is too high and it's time to pay the piper.

  Lois Lane : If you're not gonna seriously step up and kick this creep to the curb, then I will.
