Quotes 

• Lois Lane : My dad was a general, and he cared about me. But I learned really early that his role in the world was a lot more important than being a father. And, you know what, for good reasons. And Ollie's life is... demanding, too.

  Clark Kent : Lois, just because someone's life has great responsibility doesn't mean your life has to take second place.

  Lois Lane : Of course it does, Clark. Can you imagine what it would be like to look into somebody's eyes and know that their destiny is so much greater than yours that you will never compete?

  [starting to cry] 

  Lois Lane : You will always be left behind.

  Clark Kent : That would be hard for anyone, but...

  Lois Lane : No, I can't be left behind one more time. You know, where Ollie's life is going, there's not room for me in it, and I know he'd never admit that, so... I had to. I just, um... I can't face another heartbreak on the road.

  [he gives her a supportive hug] 

  Lois Lane : Besides, you know, why settle for hot, rich, and famous when I can hang out with you?

• Clark Kent : Why don't you try to think about someone other than yourself for once?

  Oliver Queen : I'm selfish? You know, some of us sacrifice being with the people that we really care about so that we can go make a difference. What do you do? You sit around in domestic bliss curled up on a couch while a world of trouble spins outside your door!

• Chloe Sullivan : All right, I've sort of been doing this sidekick side-job for Oliver.

  Clark Kent : What?

  Chloe Sullivan : Look, Clark, a girl has gotta pay for her bills. And I mean, let's face it. You kind of fill my pro bono quota.

  Clark Kent : His missions are dangerous. And the fact he's taking you with him...

  Chloe Sullivan : No, no. It was just Internet interception... that ended up having a vicious ninja lady attached to it who chased me on to the roof and then almost beheaded me and went rappelling over the side of the building. Which I've got to admit, was really smoking cool.
