Quotes 

• Clark Kent : I'm telling Lois my secret.

  Oliver Queen : Okay, that's officially the biggest news *I've* heard all day. Why now?

  Clark Kent : I saw the future... recently.

  Oliver Queen : Okay, now, *that's* officially the biggest news I've heard all day. You know you sound crazy when you talk like that, right?

  Clark Kent : In the future, Lois already knew about me. What I didn't see is how I told her and when. My instincts have always been to keep my secret, but then I see five minutes of the future that seems to good to be true, and...

  Oliver Queen : You came over here hoping that I would try to talk you out of telling her, right?

  Clark Kent : No. Maybe.

• Tess Mercer : So let me get this straight. Lois finds a necklace, gets possessed by an Egyptian Goddess, and now is flying around like Amelia Earhart, minus the plane.

  Oliver Queen : Just another Friday night in Metropolis. Who's ready for the weekend?

• Clark Kent : If I remember correctly, coming out to Lois did *not* have a happy ending. You told Lois the truth, and she dumped you.

  Oliver Queen : That - We broke up. Look, Lois and I were never really meant to be together. Clark, she loves you. That makes you a lucky man. Take it from me, living without love is not really living, it's just sort of existing. The question you have to ask yourself is what are you willing to risk for love?

• Oliver Queen : Just typical, you know? Just when we need a lesson on how to de-Isis Lois, professor Hawkhead takes a sabbatical.

• Tess Mercer : Did I drive halfway across town just for an apology?

  Clark Kent : No. It's so we could both give you something.

  Oliver Queen : That's right. Other than our solar-powered friend over here doing that cool eyeball zap through the amulet thing that he did. We couldn't have done it without you.

  Clark Kent : You took care of Cat, and you figured out how to put Isis back in the amulet. You're pretty impressive with a low-tech laptop, too.

  Oliver Queen : Now let's see what you can do with something a little more powerful. Like Watchtower. Welcome to the team.

  Tess Mercer : Thank you.

• Clark Kent : Lois found Osiris' heart, and now I can't find her.

  Oliver Queen : Well, she still does have one more layover before our nonstop to hell. She has to reunite the heart...

  Tess Mercer : With the body to make Osiris whole.

  Oliver Queen : There's a sarcophagus at the exhibit. It's rumored to hold an ancient priest of the underworld. Now, I'm thinking...

  Tess Mercer : That high priest is actually Osiris.

  Oliver Queen : You stole my thunder there, Tess.

• Clark Kent : Every one of those crates has the name of the museum on it. If Isis saw that, she'll know where the artifacts are headed.

  Oliver Queen : Well, it's only a matter of time before we become permanent residents of the underworld, and we have no idea how to get this Egyptian genie back in her bottle.

  Tess Mercer : You don't, but I might.

  Oliver Queen : [she sits down at his desk]  Sure, yeah, just go ahead and make yourself at home. Please do it somewhere else. Off the laptop.

  Tess Mercer : You don't trust me still. Oliver, I get it, but you need to take a step back and look at the bigger picture.

  Oliver Queen : Yeah, like the one that you're trying to paint yourself into? Our team, we protect secrets. We don't keep them from one another. I'm not sure you know the difference.

  Tess Mercer : Lex kept a record of all of LuthorCorp's active excavation sites. Unfortunately, he also deleted it. However, nothing in cyberspace is totally lost. So it might take me a little bit of time with your low-tech laptop here, but I think that I could reconstruct the files.

  Clark Kent : Time is not a luxury we have. Please hurry.

  Oliver Queen : Where are you going?

  Clark Kent : Try and prevent the end of the world.

• Oliver Queen : Egyptians believed that a person's soul remained in their heart. So when Sade dismembered Osiris' body and scattered all the pieces...

  Clark Kent : He wanted to make sure that his soul never found peace.

  Oliver Queen : Exactly, but the mighty Isis vowed to resurrect Osiris. So she recovered his body piece by piece, but she was never able to find the burial jar containing his heart. And to make sure that she never did, Sade trapped her spirit in an amulet.

  Clark Kent : Now that she's back, she's gonna finish what she started. If we can find that jar, then she'll find us.

  Oliver Queen : Oh, Clark, because of his lost soul, Osiris was doomed to rule the underworld for all eternity. If Isis succeeds in resurrecting him, his kingdom will also rise. She will literally unleash hell on Earth.

• Oliver Queen : [learning Clark wants to tell his secret to Lois]  I hate to break it to you, but I say go for it. Coming out was the best thing I ever did. I can finally be myself around here. And it turns out, people actually like the real me.

  Clark Kent : That is an understatement.

  Oliver Queen : Look at this. "For breakfast after a long night keeping us safe." This is the sweetest thing. Oh, and...

  [holding up a box of ceral with Green Arrow on the front] 

  Oliver Queen : ...my new favorite cereal.

• Oliver Queen : The Isis myth isn't just about some goddess, it's about what people are willing to risk for love.

  Clark Kent : I had my lecture on love for the day.

  Oliver Queen : Fair enough. Her husband Osiris was killed by his brother Set out of jealousy; I guess being an only child does have some perks.

• Tess Mercer : You seem far away.

  Oliver Queen : Sometimes you have to watch things from a distance in order to see them more clearly. You were right, about me turning into a caricature of myself.

  Tess Mercer : I shouldn't have said that.

  Oliver Queen : The show I was putting on, the, uh... the Green Arrow girls, was, uh, emptiness I was trying to fill. I was lying to myself and, uh... you were one of the only ones that would call me on it.

  Tess Mercer : Another one of those is Chloe.

  Oliver Queen : God, I miss her. I miss her laugh and, uh, her strength, the way her eyes lit up when I entered the room. She really loved me. I gave her a secret that was too hard to hold on to. She paid the price for keeping it.

  Tess Mercer : Oliver, when it comes to you... no price was too high for Chloe.

  Oliver Queen : I guess you can still spot real love. I'm sorry for what I said.

  Tess Mercer : Don't be. It's the truth. And there hasn't been a lot of that in my life. Just like there hasn't been a lot of love.

• Oliver Queen : [offering Tess Chloe's spot as Watchtower]  You really think we can trust her?

  Clark Kent : We'll find out.

• Oliver Queen : There's gotta be an easier way for a girl to get a date in this town.

  Isis : Your heart is brave, but I can see it belongs to a lonely soul. A warrior with a vacant heart. You try to fill it, but the harder you try, the emptier it becomes.

  Oliver Queen : Yeah, well, I may be lonely, but I'm still gonna kick your Egyptian ass.

  Isis : If you truly meant to harm me, you would have done so by now. But you do not wish to hurt this body.

  Oliver Queen : Childhood hang-ups. I was taught never to hurt a girl.

  Isis : And I was taught never to hesitate.

  Oliver Queen : [dodging a power blast]  The answer was in Lex's files. Sunlight through the amulet.

  [dodging another blast] 

  Oliver Queen : That's what'll trap you again, isn't it?

  Isis : But in the dead of night, where will you find the light of sun?

  Oliver Queen : That's a good question.

• Oliver Queen : I'll make sure to relay your message about Cat to Clark. In the meantime, he and I can take care of the blonde and her bombshell.

  Tess Mercer : You don't have to throw me out, Oliver. I'm just trying to protect Clark.

  Clark Kent : [whooshing in]  Protect me from what?

  Oliver Queen : Apparently the third wheel of your bullpen bust thinks that Lois is the Blur.

  Tess Mercer : Which is why I erased all the security footage of Lois crumpling a metal door with her hand and throwing a security guard across a warehouse. Cat saw what she saw, but at least now she can't prove it.

• Clark Kent : Oliver, we need help. And there's one other person we can call. Tess.

  Oliver Queen : Did you hit your head? A, Tess can't be trusted. B, she can't do what Chloe did. No one can take Chloe's place.

  Clark Kent : I hope you brushed up on your Egyptian history.

  Oliver Queen : Courtesy of a once-lovely, now-livid museum curator. I canceled tonight's gala. Adrianna was not thrilled to hear that news. I told her a friend had unexpectedly flown in.

  Clark Kent : Please tell me these books are gonna explain what happened to Lois.

• Oliver Queen : Yeah, uh, so I'm not really sure about the spotlight, you know. To me, it seems a little...

  Adrianna Tomaz : Necesssary. I want everyone to see you the moment you start down from the skylight.

  Oliver Queen : You want me to zip-line in?

  Adrianna Tomaz : Oh, it'll make the gala. We'll set you up with a wire and harness. Imagine their faces as you come flying in. Daring, invincible. Fans will love you.

  Oliver Queen : Yeah, all right, yeah, yeah, no, I like it. Uh, but I'm not gonna need the wire. I'll just go ahead and use my grappling gun for that.

  Adrianna Tomaz : Oh, our insurance doesn't cover that. Which reminds me, do you have a helmet?

  Oliver Queen : Uh...

  Adrianna Tomaz : Okay, no harness, no helmet.

• Adrianna Tomaz : So, after our guys finishing moving everything over to the exhibit hall, we'll set up a platform next to the sarcophagus which is where... you'll land. And then the Green Arrow girls will come out.

  Oliver Queen : Green Arrow girls? Really?

  Tess Mercer : Billionaire by day and hero by night. Oliver, you're better than Christmas.

• Tess Mercer : Isis: A Tale of Eternal Love. That's quite a title you chose.

  Oliver Queen : You know, my love life may not be in the same shape it was when I started funding this project, but, uh... I still believe in the story.

  Tess Mercer : And you're hoping that wherever she may be, some feisty little blonde is gonna get the message.

  Oliver Queen : [moving to leave]  Excuse me.

  Tess Mercer : If only you were still the same guy that Chloe fell for and not a caricature of him. What are you up to, Oliver?

  Oliver Queen : This city has embraced me. I'm trying to give something back.

  Tess Mercer : Groupie love isn't real love, Oliver. You used to know that.

  Oliver Queen : Do you even know what real love looks like anymore?
