Quotes

Oliver Queen : [tosses Diggle an ice-pack] I'd say thanks, but I really don't think that would cover it.
John Diggle : Well, like I told your cop friend, I was just doing my job. Besides, I think I'm the one who should be thanking you.
Oliver Queen : [confused] For what?
John Diggle : The knife.
Oliver Queen : The knife. I got lucky.
John Diggle : That was a kitchen knife. It wasn't even weighted properly, yet you threw it for accuracy across a ten-foot room.
Oliver Queen : Exactly. I got lucky.
-
Oliver Queen : I got lucky.
John Diggle : I'm not the man you wanna take for a fool, Mr. Queen. You understand me?
Oliver Queen : Yes.
John Diggle : I think I'm just beginning to understand what kind of man you are.
Oliver Queen : Shouldn't take you very long. I'm shallow.
-
Oliver Queen : All that time plotting my return at the island, I didn't realize how hard it would be to reconnect with Mom, Thea... Laurel... and I didn't... I didn't know how painful it would be to keep my secret. You asked me to save the city. To right your wrongs. I will. I swear. But to do that, I can't be the Oliver that everyone wants me to be, which means sometimes, to honor your wishes... I need to dishonor your memory. I'm sorry...
-
Oliver Queen : [voice over] I wanted to give Martin Sommers the chance to confess in face of court's justice. But he chose to go after someone I care about instead. He's still going to face justice. It'll just be a different kind.
-
Oliver Queen : I'm sorry.
Laurel Lance : You've apologised already.
Oliver Queen : And it will never be enough.
-
Oliver Queen : [about Green Hood news report] This guy gets more air time than the Kardashians.
-
Oliver Queen : Where are you going?
Thea Queen : Uh... somewhere loud and smoky. And don't bother trying to pickpocket my stash this time, 'cause I'm gonna go get drunk instead.
Oliver Queen : Thea. Do you think this is what dad would want for you?
Thea Queen : Dead people don't want anything. It's one of the benefits of being dead.
Oliver Queen : I was dead. And I wanted a lot.
Thea Queen : Except for your family. You've been home a week, and all you do is avoid mom, ignore Walter, and judge me. Don't wait up.
-
Oliver Queen : [apologizing for ditching Diggle] Sorry to give you so much grief.
John Diggle : I served three tours in Afghanistan, Mr. Queen. You don't even come close to my definition of grief.
-
Oliver Queen : Before the island i was a jerk, but now i'm a damaged jerk.
-
Oliver Queen : I hired you to protect my son. Now, I'm not a professional body guard, but it seems to me that the first requirement would be managing to stay next to the man that you're hired to protect!
-
Oliver Queen : My mother wants me to join the company. Yeah, take my rightful place.
Laurel Lance : I can't exactly picture you as master of the universe.
-
Oliver Queen : [opening narration] The day I went missing... was the day I died. Five years in hell forged me into a weapon which I use to honor a vow I made to my father who sacrificed his life for mine. In his final moments, he told me the truth. That our family's wealth had been built on the suffering of others. That he failed our city and that it was up to me to save it and right his wrongs. But to do that without endangering the people closest to me I have to be someone else. I have to be... something else.
-
Oliver Queen : [narrating] Martin Somers. Laurel's targeted the worst of Starling City, so it's no surprise his name is on my father's list. The city's police and the DA can't stop him. Or won't. Laurel thinks she's the only one willing to bring him to justice. She's wrong.
-
Oliver Queen : [narrating] Laurel was right. I can't be the Oliver my mother wants me to be and still keep the promise I made to my father. I have to be the person I need them to see me as.
