Point...

Oliver to Clark after he saves him: If you hadn't ran off,
you could've picked your own name. You don't wanna play for the team,
that's fine. Be smart about it. Meaning to be more careful?

Clark: Point taken. Meaning "I've learned my lesson and be more careful"?
  

Top answer

'Be smart about it' means to think about something before you do it, or make a logical decision, so it can have the sense of 'being more careful/cautious', yes. The idea is 'think first, then act', 'Point taken' means to accept somebody's comment/point/argument/rationale. So here Clark is basically saying "You're right, good idea.

'Be smart about it' means to think about something before you do it, or make a logical decision, so it can have the sense of 'being more careful/cautious', yes. The idea is 'think first, then act',

'Point taken' means to accept somebody's comment/point/argument/rationale.

So here Clark is basically saying "You're right, good idea. I'm wrong, I wasn't thinking clearly."

Sometimes the subtitles aren't even saying the same thing as the actors.

Well I don't know about that. Sometimes they really do write something different
but overall the meaning is the same.
