Echo Kellum: Curtis Holt

Quotes 

• Felicity Smoak : [after Oliver's speech] 

  Felicity Smoak : [Simultaneously]  Great speech.

  Susan Williams : [Simultaneously]  Great speech.

  Felicity Smoak : [Felicity and Susan look at each other cautiously. Susan moves closer to Oliver]  What she said...

  Susan Williams : Uh, Felicity, right?

  Felicity Smoak : Yeah, you must be the super hot reporter.

  Susan Williams : Um, uh thank you.

  Felicity Smoak : What I meant to say was, this is my--this is my boyfriend Billy.

  Detective Billy Malone : It's nice to see you again, Mayor Queen.

  Oliver Queen : [Shaking hands]  Billy, please call me Oliver.

  Curtis Holt : [Curtis walks up to Felicity]  Hey, um, we're actually gonna head out.

  Felicity Smoak : Everything alright?

  Curtis Holt : It will be.

  Felicity Smoak : [Turning back to Oliver]  So, you guys wanna go on a double-date something, or...?

  Felicity Smoak : [Oliver gives her a silent 'please don't' look]  No... Cool.

• Paul Holt : [Walks in as Curtis is hanging up with Rory]  Who's Rory?

  Curtis Holt : He's a friend of mine from my Palmer Tech days... Saw what happened on the news and was just check in on me.

  Paul Holt : You're the world's worst lair, Curtis... It's one of the reasons I married you.

  Curtis Holt : What are you talking about?

  Paul Holt : You know exactly what I'm talking about.

  Paul Holt : The late nights out, canceled dinners, the inexplicable accidents... I can't do this anymore. You have to tell me what's going on.

  Curtis Holt : How do I put this? I work with the Green Arrow.

  Paul Holt : You... You work with the Green Arrow?

  Curtis Holt : Yeah.

  Paul Holt : [Chuckling disbelievingly]  Come on...

  Curtis Holt : [Hurt]  It's *not* impossible.

  Paul Holt : You're helping the guy who's going around, putting arrows into people?

  Curtis Holt : Well yeah, but only bad people, and only the ones who really try to put up a fight. Most guys we just try to send to jail.

  Paul Holt : This is completely insane.

  Curtis Holt : Yes, I know that, but... When you're actually doing it, it's different. It feels amazing, empowering, almost a little inspiring.

  Paul Holt : You lied to me... For months.

  Curtis Holt : To keep you safe.

  Paul Holt : To keep me safe? And what about you? You've been hurt how many times since you started this?

  Curtis Holt : I actually lost track.

  Paul Holt : Which is why you need to stop!

  Curtis Holt : Stop what?

  Paul Holt : This! Being a vigilante!

  Curtis Holt : I made a commitment.

  Paul Holt : You made one to me too. Last time I checked, our vows didn't include me worrying every night about whether or not you were going to make it home alive the next morning.

  Curtis Holt : Paul...

  Paul Holt : You can be a vigilante, or you can be married to me, but you can't do both... I can't do both.

  [Paul leaves]
