Oliver Queen
- Clark Kent: You're upset and in no condition to go up against the darkness.
- Oliver Queen: And you're in a *better* condition?
- Clark Kent: Right now, I don't have a choice. Now, stay put.
- [waits until Clark is gone]
- Oliver Queen: Like hell.
- Oliver Queen: [Locked in a car truck] You know, when I said I wanted to spoon earlier, this isn't really what I had in mind.
- Chloe Sullivan: We're lying alone together in the dark, okay? I think that counts for something.
- Oliver Queen: Yeah, you're probably right. This is definitely the most romantic of my recent kidnappings.
- Oliver Queen: I know how hard you worked to disappear, but I'm gonna be in the spotlight for the rest of my life. I was kidding myself with this whole "trying to be normal" thing. I thought I was, um... giving up my identity by coming out, but, uh... all I did was change it. 'Cause I am who I am. It's time I stopped hiding from that. I made this bed. Now I have to sleep in it.
- Chloe Sullivan: Well, you don't have to do it alone.
- Oliver Queen: Really? So, I got a question for you. When people see this adorable blonde, and you are, on this adorable blond's arm, what'll they call you?
- Chloe Sullivan: Let's start with girlfriend, and go from there?
- Oliver Queen: Okay. "Girlfriend" sounds kind of high school.
- Chloe Sullivan: [laughing] Shut up. I'm serious.
- Chloe Sullivan: Do you know, I'm supposed to be meeting someone here. Oliver Queen, of all people. Even with the Registration Act behind him, the world still knows him as the Green Arrow.
- Oliver Queen: [wearing a disguise to look inconspicuous] Well, he probably can't even leave the house without wearing some kind of ridiculous disguise. Makes it, uh, pretty hard to live a normal life, I'm guessing. You know, I heard he lost his company to, uh... Lionel Luthor.
- Chloe Sullivan: Well, you wouldn't want to have dinner with me in his place, would you?
- Oliver Queen: Me? No. What would your boyfriend say about that? I mean, I heard he's a pretty tough guy.
- Chloe Sullivan: Well, I can't exactly call him my boyfriend.
- Oliver Queen: I think Oliver Queen would be an absolute fool to let someone like you get away.
- Chloe Sullivan: You're damn right.
- Chloe Sullivan: [Oliver and Chloe have stolen another couple's reservations and had dinner] That was delicious.
- Oliver Queen: [grunts in agreement]
- Hostess: But, oh my God right?
- [referring to the shared joke over the stolen reservations]
- Oliver Queen: [Oliver sees the Hostess approaching and fears being "caught"] Oh.
- Hostess: Phone call from your wife, Mr. Jones.
- [hands Oliver a cordless telephone receiver and turns to Chloe]
- Hostess: You want my advice? You catch a cab, and you let him take that limo back home. Alone.
- Oliver Queen: [both Chloe and Oliver are enjoying the irony of the moment immensely] I don't know.
- [speaks into the receiver]
- Oliver Queen: Hello, dear.
- [Chloe puts her head on the table so she doesn't burst out laughing]
- Oliver Queen: You all right?
- Chloe Sullivan: I escaped the villain of the piece with nary a mark on my bones.
- Oliver Queen: I would expect nothing less. You know, the whole "woman who doesn't exist" thing gets a little less mysterious when yearbooks come into play, right?
- Chloe Sullivan: Yeah, they're kind of a breadcrumb.
- Oliver Queen: Meaning what? You, uh... feeling lost, Chloe?
- Chloe Sullivan: I have been so many things over the years. Doe-eyed sleuth, intrepid reporter, Watchtower.
- Oliver Queen: Business-suited cyber-savior?
- Chloe Sullivan: It worked, right?
- Oliver Queen: Yeah.
- Chloe Sullivan: I've always wound up defining myself by some group or cause or other person. Um... I haven't felt like Chloe si... well, Chloe 1.0, anyway, since...
- [indicating her yearbook picture]
- Chloe Sullivan: ...well, her. And then I erased it all. I gave it all away. I think that's why I've been struggling to define myself against you. I'm... I'm afraid I'm gonna lose the last little bit of me that I have left.
- Oliver Queen: No matter what happens, I know who you are.
- Chloe Sullivan: I know. And that's why I have never questioned the love I feel for you.
- Oliver Queen: All right, all right, enough of this. What'd you guys do with Mrs. Jones, huh? Huh?
- Agent Simon: We were just about to ask you the same thing.
- Chloe Sullivan: What? Am I the only one who's confused here?
- Agent Simon: We know you aren't the Joneses. Who are you?
- Oliver Queen: Yeah, he's-he's right. We should, uh... introduce ourselves.
- [they proceed to beat up the agents in the room, then stop short as they're about to club each other]
- Oliver Queen, Chloe Sullivan: I love you.
- Oliver Queen: Mr. and Mrs. Jones weren't married at all. They, uh... they were on a stakeout. FBI.
- Chloe Sullivan: [holding up an FBI badge] I know. We just wiped the floor with their backup. They probably couldn't break their cover until they found out how we were connected to the missing agents.
- Oliver Queen: From what the late Mrs. Jones said, their cover was blown, which means Mr. Jones is probably in grave danger.
- Chloe Sullivan: [entering a room in which she noticed the door was ajar] I think that's a definite.
- Oliver Queen: What makes you say that?
- Chloe Sullivan: [showing him x-rays of skulls with the omega symbol brand] Call it a hunch.
- Oliver Queen: No one's answering up front.
- Chloe Sullivan: Yeah, and the last thing we want is for a billionaire superhero ex-fugitive to get caught kicking in the front door of a sex club.
- Oliver Queen: Yeah, not today, anyway. We sure this is the right place?
- Chloe Sullivan: Yeah, it's owned by a guy named Desaad. The feds have been keeping an eye on it for weeks. Some guy from the Bureau came in here for a little bit of relaxation, and at his checkup the next week...
- Oliver Queen: There was an Omega on his skull.
- Chloe Sullivan: Yeah. Turns out he wasn't the only one.
- [as she talks, he acrobatically scales the building to an open window]
- Chloe Sullivan: Every one of those x-rays belongs to someone who was a visitor at this club. You know, the Joneses may have gotten made, but they had no idea what they were getting themselves into.
- [turning and seeing him]
- Chloe Sullivan: Hey!
- Oliver Queen: Right. Which is why it's our job to get Mr. Jones out of it.
- Chloe Sullivan: Well, don't leave Goldilocks out in the cold.
- Oliver Queen: If the darkness has anything to do with this, the last thing I want is for you to get caught in the crossfire.
