Paul Blackthorne: Quentin Lance

Quotes 

• Thea Queen : Thank you for coming.

  Quentin Lance : Well, I almost didn't. 'Cause I... I screwed up, didn't I?... People got hurt. Now it seems like you figured it out that, you know, I'm drinking again, and you know, I understand... I don't wanna be any trouble. I'm just sorry it didn't work out, you know.

  Thea Queen : [Quentin starts to leave]  Okay, you know Quentin, that's not going to work for me.

  Quentin Lance : What?

  Thea Queen : You leaving, and-and hitting the bottle again, okay? No, I think we can do better than that.

  Quentin Lance : I've been to meetings.

  Thea Queen : Not a meeting--a job. How does Deputy Mayor sound?

  Quentin Lance : [Chuckling]  You want to, to hire a drunk to be your deputy mayor, huh? What, Oliver's approval ratings are not low enough?

  Thea Queen : If we were hiring a drunk, that would be a very good point, but that is not what we are doing. We are hiring the former captain of the SCPD who... Who just los this daughter and is honoring her memory by dedicating himself to the city that she loved. Okay, what do you think about that one?

  Quentin Lance : Why, I think maybe the wrong Queen ran for mayor.

  Thea Queen : Look, Ollie told me you said you needed a reason to stay sober, so I--I thought maybe this could be it.

  Quentin Lance : Yeah, maybe it could.
