Francis X. McCarthy: Board Member #1

Quotes 

• Board Member #1 : Mercer's taking too many risks.

  Board Member #2 : Lex took a gamble on her, and it's paying off. Look at the success she's had with the Daily Planet.

  Board Member #1 : Lex didn't know she was funneling all of LuthorCorp's holdings into one highly experimental bio-weapon. And now she's lost the prototype. I move for a vote of no confidence.

  Board Member #3 : Yeah, I second the motion.

  Board Member #1 : All those in favor of making a change?

  Oliver Queen : [entering]  Aye. That is, I agree it's time for a change, but not quite how you mean it.

• Board Member #1 : Oliver Queen, what are you doing in enemy camp?

  Oliver Queen : I'm actually the one who called this meeting. Tess sends her regrets, but she's on her way to Dubai overseeing some of our international interests.

  Board Member #1 : What do you mean "our"?

  Oliver Queen : With Tess' cooperation, I've purchased controlling interests in LuthorCorp.

  Board Member #1 : If that barracuda went behind our backs and helped you with a hostile takeover...

  Oliver Queen : Mm-mm. You know, I-I really don't think that the LuthorCorp board should be lecturing me on ethics, ma'am.

  [as he talks, a Newton's cradle begins swinging back and forth by itself] 

  Oliver Queen : After all, you've been using the world as your own personal playground for way too long.

  Board Member #1 : The world is much better off because of the Luthors. And no pampered playboy is going to destroy their legacy.

  Oliver Queen : [noticing the cradle stop]  Everybody down!
