Quotes 

• Chloe Sullivan : Didn't you see my texts? I lost Oliver. He was tracking some armed men, followed them under the monorail, and then it was like a massive mute button went on. No radio, no beacon, nothing.

  Clark Kent : I'm sure it's fine. Just because he doesn't check in...

  Chloe Sullivan : You know, unlike some people, Oliver actually follows protocol.

  Clark Kent : What protocol?

  Chloe Sullivan : Exactly.

• Clark Kent : You want to fill us in on what happened?

  Chloe Sullivan : Definitely.

  Oliver Queen : Absolutely. Uh, so let's see. One minute, I am saving someone's bacon. Uh, next thing I know, I'm the only pig on a Pork Chop Express. Some harpy gets on a monitor. She starts telling me this is the welcome wagon and she's recruiting heroes for the U.S. of A.

  [to Clark] 

  Oliver Queen : I'm guessing you didn't get the Evite.

• Chloe Sullivan : Every surveillance feed is down. ATMs, traffic lights, convenience stores. It's like someone threw a big blanket over the whole area.

  Clark Kent : [the feeds come back up]  You fixed it.

  Chloe Sullivan : Or whoever did this finished what they started.

• Chloe Sullivan : Thanks for keeping my seat warm at Watchtower.

  Oliver Queen : Well, you're welcome. Don't get used to it.

  Chloe Sullivan : Oh, but your timing is so good. I mean, if you hadn't flipped back Castle's electric switch when you did, I would have been...

  Oliver Queen : Chloe...

  Chloe Sullivan : But, uh, you know, I kind of liked being out in the field, knowing I had a warm bed to come home to.

  Oliver Queen : That's very, very funny. It scared the life out of me.

  Chloe Sullivan : You better be careful, Ollie. I'm gonna start to think you're falling for me.

• Chloe Sullivan : Boy, am I glad to see your friendly face. Did you, uh...

  Clark Kent : No. I didn't tell her anything.

  Chloe Sullivan : At least we have that.

  Clark Kent : I'm sorry, Chloe. I'm sorry for everything.

  Chloe Sullivan : I think we're both a day late and a dollar short in that department.

• Clark Kent : I abandoned you. I keep seeing you on the sidelines, but the truth is, with Watchtower, you're right in the middle of the game.

  Chloe Sullivan : You didn't abandon me, Clark. You pushed me out of the way.

  Clark Kent : Maybe I thought you'd be safer there.

  Chloe Sullivan : Maybe you just didn't trust me. I've broken your confidence in me, Clark. You saw Watchtower as Big Brother and you turned away. And the less you confided in me, the less you have to depend on me. It's smart. Probably.

  Clark Kent : I didn't give you enough credit. You're the one who brought us together. You're the one who saw our potential.

  Chloe Sullivan : That potential's gonna be short-lived. Waller saw our faces, and she's not gonna stop coming after us.

• Chloe Sullivan : Sylvester Pemberton came to warn me about Checkmate the moment that he was attacked by...

  Oliver Queen : Icicle. Huh. Well, either that's quaintly coincidental, or he's working for the same lovely lady whose gaze wilts small trees. What do you think?

  Chloe Sullivan : Last I heard, he was in the psych ward at Met Gen.

  Oliver Queen : Let's go.

• Chloe Sullivan : Now that Green Arrow is officially on Checkmate's radar, I think it might be a good idea for you to just hang your tights for one night. Go civilian.

  Oliver Queen : Well, t-they're not tights.

  [seeing her amused grin] 

  Oliver Queen : They're not tights. But I see your point. Yeah. Hm. Unfortunately for me, uh, that means attending a LuthorCorp shareholder dinner, which... yeah, I'd rather be shot at.

• Clark Kent : Did this woman give you her name?

  Oliver Queen : Nope. No name. Just, uh, that her organization was called Checkmate.

  Chloe Sullivan : Wait a minute. Checkmate? When Sylvester Pemberton from the Justice Society was murdered, he warned me that they came after us and they'll come after you. His dying word was "check".

  Clark Kent : If he meant Checkmate, these are the same people who took down the JSA.

• Chloe Sullivan : I searched the archived security footage that was taken from the cameras across the city. This was taken a few hours ago.

  Clark Kent : [seeing a picture of John Jones with someone]  That was right after I confronted him. Who's he talking to?

  Chloe Sullivan : We got a hit from the passport agency. Edward Lott. He's the CEO of a consumer manufacturing company. He seems pretty high-profile for a secret-agent man.

  Oliver Queen : Well, maybe they recruit people that are already established in the private sector.

  Clark Kent : Or plant them there.

  Chloe Sullivan : [her computer beeps]  You're not gonna be happy here he was planted next. Within an hour after this footage was taken, he was on the list of Metropolis General morgue.

  Oliver Queen : Whoa, slow down, guys. You can't think John murdered this guy. Come on, now.

  Chloe Sullivan : Clark, I'll come with you. I can run some...

  [he whooshes away] 

  Chloe Sullivan : ...support on-site.

  Oliver Queen : Looks like you got benched.

• Clark Kent : Where is that?

  Chloe Sullivan : That's where I saw Oliver last.

  [zooming in] 

  Chloe Sullivan : John Jones?

  Clark Kent : Well, your buddy system works.

  Chloe Sullivan : I didn't call him.
