Susanna Thompson: Moira Queen

Quotes 

• Oliver Queen : For the past year, I have stood by your side... and I have fought, because I didn't to believe that you were this... monster. And I needed to believe that still had a mother.

  Moira Queen : You do, Oliver. Oliver, I only lied about Thea to protect her from Malcolm.

  Oliver Queen : No, you lied because that is what you do. And that is who you are, Mom. Lies. And now you have made a liar out of me. Because Thea can never find out about Merlyn. And she can never learn the truth about us. Which is that as of right now, we have no relationship. I will keep up appearance for Thea's sake. And publicly I will support your campaign. But privately... you and I are done.

• Moira Queen : I hope my decision to run against you for mayor against you doesn't affect your relationship.

  Sebastian Blood : Out of respect for that relationship, can I offer for some advice?

  Moira Queen : Please.

  Sebastian Blood : Get out. Now.

  Moira Queen : The fact that you are advising me to get out before I announce my candidacy suggests that you are threatened.

  Sebastian Blood : I'm apprehensive about destroying my friend's mother.

  Moira Queen : I can take care of myself.

  Sebastian Blood : Really? During your trial you portrayed yourself as a fragile creature living under Malcolm Merlyn's thumb. So, which is it? The woman strong enough to lead this city, or the one too weak willed to save it?

  Moira Queen : The one who should not be underestimated.
