Quote of the Week, 7th December 2014

A weekly feature highlighting the best quotes on TV as picked by the Spoiler TV team this past week. We'd love to hear your picks too so please sound off below the article.


ARROW, "The Brave and the Bold", 3rd December, 2014

Tonya Papanikolas: Barry "My mother was murdered in front of me, too. But I don't use my personal tragedies as an excuse to just torture whoever pisses me off."
Oliver "I'm sorry, Barry. I'm not as emotionally healthy as you are." also picked by sandi

Oliver "To do what I do, Barry, it takes conviction. But more often than not, it's the will to do what's ugly. Every time I do that, I'm trading away little pieces of myself. So you asked what's wrong with me. That's what's wrong. Because the part that I'm trading away is Oliver Queen. And lately I've been feeling like there's nothing left except The Arrow."
Barry "I think you're full of crap. ... Look, you've convinced yourself that everything you've been through took away your humanity. But I think it's because of your humanity you made it through. You wouldn't have survived, much less come out the other end a hero - somebody who wants to do good - if you didn't have a light inside of you."

Bradley Adams: Barry "You were wrong. When you told me I could inspire people, you said you couldn't but you were wrong. You can inspire. Not as the Arrow. That guy's a douche, but as Oliver Queen."


BLACK-ISH, "Colored Commentary", 3rd December, 2014

Tonya Papanikolas: Dre's boss "My wife knows nothing about nothing. That's what you get when you make small talk on a Southwest flight."

Rainbow "Are you trying to make me stab you? I can't believe you did that to me again!"
Dre "Hold up. Are you saying I threw you under the bus by NOT throwing you under the bus?"
Rainbow "Yes!"
Drew "I don't understand the rules."

Mary "My loyal subjects. I reassure you that your king and your queen remain untouched. These murderous traitors who invaded the castle tonight have achieved nothing. Have altered nothing, and will die for nothing."

THE 100, "Fog of War", 3rd December, 2014
