Quotes 

• Lois Lane : [sees Oliver and Chloe]  Hey guys! Come here. Sit with us.

  Clark Kent : [speaking to Chloe]  Quiet weekend at home, huh?

  Chloe Sullivan : Trust me, we had no idea the two of you would be here.

  Lois Lane : And we had no idea there was even a "you two," which I think is perfect. I think fate has brought us together.

  Oliver Queen : Well it's ah...

  [everyone exchanges awkward looks] 

  Oliver Queen : It's a little less fate, actually.

  Chloe Sullivan : More fame.

  Oliver Queen : [agreeing with Chloe]  Fame.

  Chloe Sullivan : This is so far off the beaten path that even the society pages couldn't find Star City's most eligible bachelor here.

  Lois Lane : You mean *ex-bachelor*.

  Chloe Sullivan : Okay, enough about that. How did you guys manage to find the road less traveled?

  Clark Kent : Well, I found their brochure at the apartment. I figured Lois wanted to come here.

  Lois Lane : What brochure?

  Chloe Sullivan : That wasn't Lois' brochure, Clark. That was mine.

  [awkward looks are again exchanged] 

  Clark Kent : How was I supposed to know that Oliver...?

  Chloe Sullivan : You weren't. That's the point.

  Oliver Queen : [Clark looks over at Oliver for help]  Oh, don't look at me. I learned long ago not to assume what belongs to who in that apartment. You gotta use context clues.

  Lois Lane : Yeah, speaking of clues let's talk about Mr. Green, in the bedroom, with my cousin.

  Oliver Queen : There it is.

  Clark Kent : Lois, I think they came here for brunch.

  Lois Lane : Good point.

  [smiles some what threateningly at Chloe] 

  Lois Lane : Look Chloe, there's food.

  Chloe Sullivan : [Lois grabs Chloe by the arm and drags her outside]  Woah!

  Oliver Queen : [Clark and Oliver are at a loss for words]  There's little jellies.

• Silver Banshee : I was denied vengeance, just as I was denied power. But now I shall have both.

  Oliver Queen : I'm all about the girl power really, but, I got to be honest with you, I don't see you breaking through any glass ceilings with that hair.

• Oliver Queen : You know what we could do - we could pretend not to see them.

  Chloe Sullivan : Oh come on, Ollie, throw up the white flag - it's Lois. She makes Susan B. Anthony look like a quitter.

• Oliver Queen : [awkwardly making conversation]  So... you, uh... save any orphans recently, old ladies, maybe, anything like that?

  Clark Kent : I did stop a bank robbery.

  Oliver Queen : Yeah. That's nice. That's fun stuff.

• Oliver Queen : Speaking of Clark, for future reference and, you know, strictly for environmental purposes, the next time you wanna take a shower with someone, Chloe, you can just ask me.

  Chloe Sullivan : I can't remember blacking out and I wish I could forget waking up.

  Oliver Queen : Really? Well, it couldn't have been that bad, right? I mean, wasn't there a time when you would have given just about anything to stare at that farmer's tan in all its glory, I'm guessing?

  Chloe Sullivan : That was a long time ago, like, in a Smallville far, far away. I mean, okay, yeah. I did love Clark, a lot. And I waited for years for him to see that, to see... me. But even with his x-ray vision, he never did. I think more than that, I just wanted someone who would get me. And as good a friend as Clark is, he's never gonna be that person. Which is fine. Really. I mean, those wounds healed over a thousand super-saves ago. Now there's just scars.

  Oliver Queen : It's Clark's loss.

  Chloe Sullivan : What about your loss? I'm sure that Lois didn't have to drag you into the woods kicking and screaming.

  Oliver Queen : Uh... yeah, that's... the funny thing about scars, you know. They're always there. It doesn't mean they haven't healed. Sometimes they can be kind of cute, too, you know. You have one in particular that I'm partial...

  Chloe Sullivan : [kissing to shut him up]  Shh.

• Oliver Queen : It's a spoon. I bought you a spoon, one of those little... people collect 'em. I-I thought about getting you, uh, some of those little decorative soaps. But ultimately, you-you didn't really need either one of 'em, did you?

  Chloe Sullivan : I don't know about that. I mean, I'm more partial to sporks myself, but a girl can never have too many... spoons?

  Oliver Queen : Yeah, well, I never should have wrapped up that Pandora's box to begin with and second-guessed myself, or us. From now, I won't.

  Chloe Sullivan : Maybe we should just say that next time, you won't take advice about relationships from Clark Kent.

• Oliver Queen : Who told Chloe to go walk in the woods, anyway? Was it Hansel and Gretel, do you suppose?

  Silver Banshee : It's not much farther.

  Oliver Queen : Well, I hope she left a trail of breadcrumbs, 'cause if she didn't, we might never find our way out of here.

  Silver Banshee : Oh, I'll be leaving these woods.

  [pushing him up against a tree] 

  Silver Banshee : But you won't.

• Oliver Queen : Well, Lois... you got any bagpipes to go with that outfit there, lassie? That means you guys are having a little fun. It's cute. Uh, listen, I-I'm looking for Chloe. She took a walk a while ago, she hasn't returned, and I'm getting a little worried about her.

  Silver Banshee : I was just with her, actually.

  Oliver Queen : You were? Okay.

  [realizing] 

  Oliver Queen : Oh, right. Yeah, okay. So, just lay it on me.

  Silver Banshee : Why don't I take you to see Chloe instead? You will never win a woman's heart by waiting for her to come to you.

• Chloe Sullivan : [seeing a wrapped gift on the bed]  Unless Christmas came early this year, that better not have my name on it.

  Oliver Queen : Oh, well, maybe you've just been especially good this year. Maybe... a guy shouldn't take someone like you for granted.

  Chloe Sullivan : I didn't think you were, Ollie. Clark said something, didn't he?

  Oliver Queen : It's just a gift.

  Chloe Sullivan : No, no, no, it's a slippery slope. "Just because" gifts are never just because. There's always some unspoken part, like "I'm sorry" or "I-I feel very strongly about you", both of which are complicated. Oliver, I wanted to keep things simple. You know, with, like, no strings or ribbons.

  Oliver Queen : [she picks up her coat]  Wait, wait, hold... wait, where are you going?

  Chloe Sullivan : I'm going for a walk. When I come back, can we just hit the reset button and play our favorite indoor game again?
