Quotes 

• Tess Mercer : The Red Queen, I presume.

  Martha Kent : Don't turn around. Slowly set the disk on the floor and slide it back to me.

  Tess Mercer : Sorry I sent your mind-reader packing.

  Martha Kent : Don't be. I'm not a fan of his tactics, but he got the job done.

  Tess Mercer : You meant for me to get away. How did you know I'd come here?

  Martha Kent : You're predictable.

  Tess Mercer : You may be really good at staying one step ahead of Checkmate, but you don't know the first thing about me.

  Martha Kent : You say you're saving the planet, but you really only care about yourself. You figured out Maxwell's charade because you know in your heart that Oliver's declaration of love was a lie. You can't comprehend what it means to truly protect someone you love. And stay away from Clark Kent. If you're not careful, you'll end up on the wrong side of the coming Apocalypse.

• Tess Mercer : You know, you had me going until you made Oliver confess his love. You just had to go that one step too far.

  Maxwell Lord : We know you have the Book of Rao.

  Tess Mercer : You try any more head games, and my torture won't be virtual.

• Tess Mercer : Zod. He burned you. Okay, we have to get out of here. Did this guy tell you what he wants?

  Oliver Queen : I don't know what the hell he wants. He said something about someone named the Red Queen and a gold disk, a bunch of aliens. Really great stuff. It sounded right up your alley.
