Justin Hartley: Oliver Queen, Green Arrow

Quotes 

• Clark Kent : Whoever that is, he can't just operate on Jones.

  Oliver Queen : Why? 'Cause he's Martian? I get it, Clark. It's fine. He's in good hands with Emil. Trust me. After I got poisoned, I figured, you know, guys like us, could probably use a specialist on payroll.

  Clark Kent : Since when did Jones become one of us?

  Oliver Queen : Well, he's gotten me out of a few tight scrapes with the police, Clark.

  Clark Kent : He wanted to meet with me after his shift to talk about something - I don't know what it was. If he hadn't sacrificed his abilities to save my life, that bullet wouldn't have left a scratch.

  Oliver Queen : And now you feel guilty, and that's your thing, I get it - that's great. But standing here doing nothing isn't going to solve anything.

• Oliver Queen : Wow. I sure hope your s'mores are worth the drive.

  Tess Mercer : Wouldn't want you to spoil your appetite. We're going to dinner. I'd like to discuss a merger.

  Oliver Queen : A merger? What kind of merger?

  Tess Mercer : Any kind you want. Don't keep me waiting.

• Clark Kent : I don't know how many favors you had to call in. Thank you for getting me out of trouble with the police.

  John Jones : It was the least I could do.

  Clark Kent : You could have used some backup out there. Why didn't you call me in sooner?

  John Jones : For the same reason I've had to pull you from the brink of death before.

  [to Oliver] 

  John Jones : The same reason you let your guard down last night. Pride. After knowing what it's like to... truly feel powerful... to have the ability to change fate... it's hard to admit when you can't do it alone.

  Oliver Queen : I guess going solo's really caught up with us lately, huh?

  Clark Kent : You know, for everything Danny's crew did wrong, I have to say... knowing there's always someone there who has your back... that kind of brotherhood can make you feel like you could do anything.

• Green Arrow : We gotta stop meeting like this.

  [he dodges a swung piece of pipe, and knocks Officer Simmons down; the cop killer flees] 

  Green Arrow : You're welcome.

  Officer Talbert : [on comms]  Damn it, Turpin, move in.

  Dan Turpin : Turn around. Show me your hands.

  Green Arrow : That's not bad. It's not every day someone gets the drop on me.

• Green Arrow : You're Joe's partner, right?

  Dan Turpin : His name is Clark Kent. This isn't about him, okay?

  Officer Talbert : [on comms]  You got the shot, Danny. Come on, take it.

  Green Arrow : It's not too late for you. You don't have to do this.

  Dan Turpin : Why don't you capes just mind your own damn business, huh? You don't know these guys like I do. I got a family at home.

  Green Arrow : When your little boy asks you who you saved today, you can tell him you killed a man in cold blood.

  Dan Turpin : It ain't like that.

  Green Arrow : I knew you were a part of this, but Clark actually trusted you. He thinks you just lost your way.

  Officer Talbert : Take the shot, Danny.

  Green Arrow : Man, if this is what you need to do... to find yourself, then... then do it. You do it, you pull the trigger and you can prove Clark wrong. Be a real hero.

• Oliver Queen : Imagine my surprise when I stumble upon Metropolis' finest going gangland. Thug's a really good look for you and your crew, by the way.

  Clark Kent : They're not all bad, Oliver. Some of them are out there every day risking their lives and their families trying to do the same thing we are.

  Oliver Queen : Yeah, I'm sure you're right. You know, I always forget, how many parolees did we rough up last month? Do you remember?

  Clark Kent : Of all people, I thought you would understand that this isn't just black and white.

  Oliver Queen : No matter how noble their intentions when they started, Clark, these people have gone too far.

  Clark Kent : And you never have? Danny watched that guy kill his partner. Tell me you've never been tempted to look in the eyes of someone who just committed so much pain and just...

  Oliver Queen : Kill him? Kill him for the greater good? You gonna stand there and tell me that's what you believe?

  [Clark doesn't respond] 

  Oliver Queen : I didn't think so.

  Clark Kent : Look, what I'm saying is that saving someone, truly saving them, is not about knocking them out and throwing them in a dark room. It's about helping them find their way back to the right side.

  Oliver Queen : [showing him a coroner's report]  You know what, Clark? Some people are beyond saving. That's the suspect that Jones tracked down. He didn't find his way back to custody, Clark. He did, however, manage to find his way to the bottom of a river. Now, these cops are taking the law into their own hands. How many more people have to die before you do anything?

  Clark Kent : All right, look, I have narrowed it down to Simmons and Talbert. Both have sniper training.

  Oliver Queen : Great. You sit here and you play detective. I'm gonna go make sure your boys don't get a chance to put another person in the hospital.
