A Matter of Trust (2016)

Paul Blackthorne: Quentin Lance

Quotes 

• Oliver Queen : Thank you all for coming. I'd like to address head-on and with brutal honesty that some recent reports regarding my administration, reports that suggest while the voters may have elected me, others have been making making decisions in my stead. The truth of the matter is that every decision made by any member of my administration is my decision. The buck, as they say, stops with me. When you are charge, everything that your team does is on you, and I trust my team. That team will include former police captain Quentin Lance will be serving beside me as Deputy Mayor.

  Quentin Lance : Appreciate the vote of confidence, Mr. Mayor.

  Oliver Queen : You're the right man for the job, trust me.

• Oliver Queen : [to Reporters in conference room]  Thank you all for coming. I'd like to address head-on and with brutal honesty some of the recent repots regarding my administration. Reports that suggest that while the voters may have elected me, others have been making decisions in my stead. The truth of the matter is that every decision made by any member of my administration is my decision. The buck, as they say, stops with me. Because when you are in charge, everything that your team does is on you, and I trust my team. That team will include former Police Captain Quentin Lance who will be serving beside me as Deputy Mayor.

  Quentin Lance : [Quentin puts his hand out to shake Oliver's]  I appreciate the vote of confidence, Mr. Mayor.

  Oliver Queen : You're the right man for the job, trust me.
