Total Jesus iconography there.

"Now there's a question. First, I want to walk into a bar and drink it. And then I'm going to start a fight with five men and win. And then I am going to make use of a truly staggering number of prostitues - some of whom I may have once been married to. Following which, I will buy drugs. I will, in fact, show them a large pillowcase and instruct them to fill it with drugs.

...And I'm putting it all on the expense account."

Black Canary: "Keep it in your quiver, Trickshot. *Jerk.*"
Green Arrow: "*Score.*"
