QUOTES
Victoria Sinclair: Now that’s the face of a guy who’s down on his luck.
Oliver Queen: Well, I think my luck’s about ready to turn around. I don’t remember seeing you around, earlier.
Victoria Sinclair: Well, maybe not. But I’ve seen you before. Your type.
Oliver Queen: And what type is that exactly?
Victoria Sinclair: The player who can’t find the game to satisfy him.
Oliver Queen: I’ll admit I’ve lost a certain lust for life… but luckily not other things.
Victoria Sinclair: Then play a game with me.
Oliver Queen: I’m all in
Chloe Sullivan: You were living like you had a death wish, Oliver. You had to face your demons if you were gonna make it out alive, and I had to push you over the ledge in order to pull you back.
Oliver Queen: Did you have to push with a 3-ton truck?
Chloe Sullivan: I didn’t think a tricycle would be a strong enough point.
Clark Kent: All right, Lois. You show up with every shark movie known to man and 11 loads of laundry when I’ve seen you take socks to the dry cleaner. Are you okay?
Lois Lane: I’m fine. Why wouldn’t I be fine? I’m totally not fine. Even if it is stupid, but – but it’s not stupid. It’s Oliver’s birthday today, and we always go out for beer pongs on our birthdays. But today is about to be yesterday in T-minus…
Lois Lane: …negative minutes. It’s over. He totally missed it. How does a guy with nine different phone numbers not return a phone call?
Clark Kent: Probably just celebrating with someone else.
Lois Lane: Wow. Tall, dark, and single. Go figure. Do you know something? You would tell me if you did, right?
Clark Kent: I’m sure Oliver’s just fine. But paying him a visit wouldn’t hurt.
Oliver Queen: You do know, of course, look absolutely ridiculous in that, right? And I got a great tailor. Hook you up with a little color maybe.
Clark Kent: Nice to see you finally discovered something worth living for after all.
Oliver Queen: Yeah. More like a rediscovery, actually. You’ve done a hell of a job keeping the world safe on your own, Clark. I’m here to help you now.
Clark Kent: Good. Something tells me, soon the world will need all the help we can get.
