Quotes 

• Zatanna Zatara : Bravo. You found my book *and* pull it off in style.

  Green Arrow : I wish I could say I've had the pleasure.

  Zatanna Zatara : Oh, please, Oliver. Ask a billionaire for help, and then a vigilante steals *exactly* what I ask for? You need to work on your sleight of hand.

  Oliver Queen : [Takes his mask off]  Yeah...

• Chloe Sullivan : Ollie, when did this happen? One day I'm on the fast track for my dream career as the intrepid reporter, and then I blink and all of a sudden, I'm this underqualified shrink for meteor-infected kids who will probably wake up to be psycho killers, while Lois and Clark are walking the beach with matching press passes together. Oh, and did I mention that I was actually able to hold on to "happily ever after" for about 2.3 seconds before my marriage imploded?

  Oliver Queen : Is this the part where you belt out the soprano's aria and drive a dagger into your corset?

  Chloe Sullivan : Right. Sorry for the operetta. It's just, I would love to know how she does it.

  Oliver Queen : You know, Chloe, if I didn't know you any better, I'd say there was a hint of jealousy in there.

  Chloe Sullivan : No. It's just... with all these Debbie ups and downers lately, it... I guess it would be really nice to leave it all behind and be back in the bullpen.

• Green Arrow : [after knocking out two guards at Luthercorp]  Sorry, guys. I'll make sure you get a nice Christmas bonus.

• Oliver Queen : Now, why do I get the feeling you're not my 10:00 from the steel union?

  Zatanna Zatara : [offering a handshake]  Zatanna. We weren't properly introduced.

  Oliver Queen : Zatanna. You lose a bet with that name?

• Oliver Queen : Ready?

  Chloe Sullivan : Ready as you are.

  Oliver Queen : Yeah. Chloe. This will mean leaving your old life as a reporter behind. You sure you wanna say goodbye to that forever?

  Chloe Sullivan : You know, yesterday, I wouldn't have been able to answer that question. But after spending the day at the Daily Planet, I realized... that's someone else's life.

  Oliver Queen : You know, it's interesting, everyone seems to have so much clarity after a dose of the Zatanna dust. Almost makes me wish I had my turn at the magic lamp, too.

  Chloe Sullivan : I'll save you the heel blisters. You already know what you really want. We all do. We just don't listen.

  Oliver Queen : [taking a Bluetooth earpiece]  And you're sure this is it?

  Chloe Sullivan : This is where I belong.

• Oliver Queen : What is this? You drop by to kick my ass again? So much fun for me the first time.

  Zatanna Zatara : I came to apologize. I just...

  Oliver Queen : Bound by steel. Right? That's what you said to be backwards. Bound by steel? I had plenty of time to mull that over when you, uh, you left me there strung up to either die or have my identity revealed.

  Zatanna Zatara : I can't ever totally make it up to you or your friends, but I would like to try to make sure that something like this doesn't happen again.

  Oliver Queen : Here's a thought. Don't do it again.

• Oliver Queen : I know how difficult the sacrifices you made must have been. Especially considering how hell-bent you were on getting what you wanted. Well, anyway, in the end you made the tough choice, and, um... I can respect that.

  Zatanna Zatara : Just know that there are far more dangerous people out there in the world than me. People with much greater control of the genuinely nasty magics than I do. So...

  [giving him what looks like a tarot card] 

  Zatanna Zatara : ...if you ever run into my kind of mischief again... call me. And wherever I am, this time, I'm on your side.

  Oliver Queen : So I guess this means you're taking your show on the road.

  Zatanna Zatara : Thinking about taking a little bit of time off to... do some light reading. If I'm ever gonna do my father proud, I've got a lot of catching up to do.

  Oliver Queen : Uh, so... what, what is this, exactly? Some kind of magic spell to summon you? I just hold it up, say your name a couple times and, uh, poof, you appear?

  Zatanna Zatara : It's my phone number.

• Oliver Queen : You know, this isn't just a how-to guide on upping your stage presence. There's some really dark stuff in here, Zatanna.

  Zatanna Zatara : You don't get it. The sick irony of my ability is that I can grant so many wishes. Everyone's but mine.

  [he moves to throw it into the fire] 

  Zatanna Zatara : No! Please... don't. It's the only way I can bring my father back.

  Oliver Queen : I'm sorry.

  [he tosses it in, but she summons it before it reaches the flames] 

  Oliver Queen : Not good.

• Oliver Queen : You mind telling me what drives a lovely young woman such as yourself to track down an unsuspecting CEO at a nightclub and then again at his office?

  Zatanna Zatara : I need your help.

  Oliver Queen : You don't scream "charity case".

  Zatanna Zatara : My father left me an estate in Shadowcrest, so money isn't an object.

  Oliver Queen : Shadowcrest.

  [realizing] 

  Oliver Queen : John Zatara? The maestro of magic? He was your father?

  [she nods] 

  Oliver Queen : Well, I'm sorry. I know what it's like to lose family.

  Zatanna Zatara : Yeah. I lost more than my father. I lost his entire legacy recorded in a book that's been passed down through generations. There's a Bible's worth of my heritage in those pages. When my father died, Mr. Luthor acquired that book at auction.

  Oliver Queen : Well, no offense, Zatanna, but, uh, you're the daughter of the world's greatest magician. Can't you just, I don't know, wiggle your nose and pull it out of a hat or something?

• Oliver Queen : You okay?

  Chloe Sullivan : Yeah. Birthdays just make me a little reflective.

  Oliver Queen : What do you say we get you out of your head and into the party, huh? Come on.

  Chloe Sullivan : [entering the party and seeing Lois having a good time]  See? Case in point. That was supposed to be my life.
