Aaron Ashmore: Jimmy Olsen

Quotes 

• Chloe Sullivan : Was Davis holding Jimmy in the basement?

  Dr. Emil Hamilton : They're lucky to be alive.

  Chloe Sullivan : [tenderly touching his arm]  Jimmy, I'm so sorry.

  Jimmy Olsen : Whatever you do, Chloe... just stay away from that monster.

• Oliver Queen : My God, what's he done with Chloe?

  Davis Bloome : I'd never hurt Chloe. She, uh... She - she saved me.

  Jimmy Olsen : No way. Now, Chloe might be a sucker for the strange, but she's not crazy.

  Davis Bloome : Bit of advice - you really don't want to upset me now.

  Oliver Queen : Yeah, trust me, I know. I've seen your horns. You give the whole new meaning to the term "Bridezilla."

  Jimmy Olsen : You're the beast.

• Jimmy Olsen : I was hoping that you could spot me 600 bucks, stat. My mechanic called a code blue on my alternator.

  Oliver Queen : Well, you work here. What are they paying you, in Shirley Temples?

  Jimmy Olsen : They, uh... they let me go. Cutbacks. I mean, you know how that is.

  Oliver Queen : I do. That's why I'm pretty sure it's not your car that needs the fix, buddy.

  Jimmy Olsen : You think that I'm lying? I got three bus tranfers to prove it.

  Oliver Queen : Listen, I know a really great place you can go to. Get back to being yourself. It's very discreet, staff's very supportive. Food's great. Now, if you're worried about paying for your treatment, don't. 'Cause I can take care of that for you, okay?

  Jimmy Olsen : Great. You gonna drive me there, too? 'Cause my car doesn't work.

• Oliver Queen : Hey, you okay?

  Jimmy Olsen : Aside from being snatched by a crazed serial killer? Yeah, I'm great.

  Oliver Queen : Any idea who did this?

  Jimmy Olsen : Not to sound like a broken record, but it was Davis Bloome.

• Jimmy Olsen : Tell me that your search team has a read on that beast.

  Oliver Queen : I have people on every continent, Jimmy, but so far, no. No castle to storm.

• Oliver Queen : You know, I'm not sure the beast you need to be fighting is out there, Jimmy. I think maybe, uh... maybe it's in here.

  Jimmy Olsen : Look, if this is another attempt to turn me into the poster boy for rehab, cancel the photo shoot, 'cause I'm not interested.

  Oliver Queen : I didn't call you here for a lecture. Just this.

  [offering him a check] 

  Oliver Queen : It's the, uh, money you asked for. For your car.

  Jimmy Olsen : Forget it. I don't... I don't need your handout.

  Oliver Queen : Oh, this is not a handout. It's your first paycheck.

  Jimmy Olsen : Oh. Let me guess, it's got twelve steps attached to it.

  Oliver Queen : Well, only if you decide not to take the elevator to your office. The truth is, there's an opening on my staff, and something tells me you'd be perfect for it. I ran a little background check on you. It seems to me there's more to your story than, uh... you write on your cover letter.

  Jimmy Olsen : Unfortunately, what you see is what you get. I'm a mediocre photographer turned failed bartender. And I don't remember seeing a job posting for that on CareerBuillder.com.

• Oliver Queen : Everybody knows you take great action shots. What I didn't realize until recently was... when called upon, you're pretty damn good in action, as well.

  Jimmy Olsen : You make it sound like I'm some kind of hero. Trust me, I'm not.

  Oliver Queen : I wouldn't be so sure. You figured out Davis Bloome's serial killer secret before any of us did. You took on the beast all by yourself. It takes guts. You got good instincts, Jimmy. That's enough for me.

  Jimmy Olsen : Yeah. Well, thanks to those instincts, my life is really awesome these days.

  Oliver Queen : Well, if you don't like it, change it. Why don't you start by accepting my offer?

  Jimmy Olsen : What's the catch?

  Oliver Queen : [amused laugh]  No, no, no catch. No catch, just work. Uh, and a lot of it. It's a full-time gig. What do you say?

• Jimmy Olsen : Why did you do it? Come on. Every killer's got a sob story. You know, I heard that a... unhappy childhood, that's... that's pretty popular.

  Davis Bloome : You wouldn't understand.

  Jimmy Olsen : Of course not, because you, uh... you brooding types, you guys are all so complicated.

  Oliver Queen : Jimmy, come on, man. Chill out.

  Jimmy Olsen : No! No, that monster destroyed my life and brainwashed Chloe, and he's trying to ruin hers, too!

  Davis Bloome : You have no idea what Chloe really wants! We have to be together.

  Oliver Queen : Davis, hey. Hey, man, uh, look, I know what it's like to jones after a girl. Really, I do, but you can hold on a little bit longer, okay? You have to. Chloe's on her way.

  Davis Bloome : Oh, I hope so. I really do, because if she's not, the only way that I can control myself is if I kill one of you.

  Jimmy Olsen : Then kill me. Because you've taken everything from me. All that's left is scar tissue.

• Oliver Queen : This road you're on, man, it-it is lonely, all right? Now, if you need someone to talk to, if you need a friend... then I'm that guy, but, uh... I'm not gonna give you any money for drugs.

  Jimmy Olsen : You know, I thought after everything that happened that we could be friends. But seeing you don't trust me, I guess not.
