Iris West's Hilarious Line in The CW DC Crossover Wasn't In The Script

12/22/2016 11:58 pm EST

In The Flash portion of The CW's "Invasion!" crossover, after Supergirl (Melissa Benoist) memorized everyone's name in the giant airplane hangar, Iris West (Candice Patton) delivered one of the funniest lines during the entire four-show crossover event.

"Barry, so Oliver Queen is the Green Arrow?" Iris asked. Her speedster boyfriend confirms Oliver's secret identity with a quick: "Yeah." Without missing a beat, she quips, "Oh my God, he just got so much hotter."

TV Line likes Iris's quote so much that they ranked it #73 on their 75 Best TV Quotes of 2016. After the article was posted on Thursday, Patton responded to the quote's inclusion on the list by revealing a nice little tidbit. "Much more behind this line," she tweeted. "This line wasn't in the original script." She added in the next tweet: "But let it be known, I can't take credit for it at all."

Based on the characters from DC, The Flash is from by Bonanza Productions Inc. in association with Berlanti Productions and Warner Bros. Television, with executive producers Greg Berlanti (Arrow, Supergirl), Andrew Kreisberg (Arrow, The Flash), Sarah Schechter (Arrow, DC's Legends of Tomorrow) and Aaron and Todd Helbing.
