-
Thea Queen : Well, it looks like the Green Arrow is the hero again, whoever he is.
Quentin Lance : Yup. And the mayor ain't doing too bad, either. The Sentinel has got your approval rating back up to 70%.
Oliver Queen : What? Was it ever that high?
Quentin Lance : Eh, no, it wasn't. Uh, anyway, listen, if you'll excuse me, I gotta go find Rene and remove his head from his ass.
-
Oliver Queen : Why did you involve William? That's my boy. He's an innocent.
Adrian Chase : So was my wife, man, but you involved her. I already told you, Oliver, everyone that you care about suffers. Everyone.
-
Thea Queen : We should go get a drink tonight. We haven't celebrated your birthday in... I can't remember how long.
Oliver Queen : I remember the last time we celebrated yours.
Thea Queen : Oof. God, we decided we would never talk about that again.
Oliver Queen : Four years? You've changed a lot, Speedy.
Thea Queen : We both have... I'm just not sure I have for the better.
Oliver Queen : I'm sure. Look Thea, being happy doesn't mean you don't have issues. It just means that you're working on them.
Thea Queen : When did you become all zen-like and well-adjusted? You should celebrate *that* tonight as well as your birthday.
Oliver Queen : I appreciate that, but I already have plans.
Thea Queen : With who? Please say *not* Susan Williams...
Oliver Queen : Uh, it... No, with Felicity.
Thea Queen : As in a date?
Oliver Queen : As in... I don't know if it's a date.
Thea Queen : But you're hoping that it is?
Oliver Queen : It's dinner. People go to dinner.
Thea Queen : See, I don't believe you, but I find it incredibly cute.
[Oliver sighs as he leaves]

Malcolm Merlyn : Are you expecting someone?
Oliver Queen : Yes, I am, because Chase is working with at least Black Siren, Evelyn Sharp, Talia al Ghul, and whatever army she's currently controlling.
Malcolm Merlyn : So you called in reinforcements. If I wasn't such a confident individual, my ego might be bruised.
Oliver Queen : Malcolm, your ego is what I'm gonna need you to keep in check.
Malcolm Merlyn : Why? Who did you reach out to?
Nyssa al Ghul : [entering] Husband. Mr. Merlyn. I assume you still have no title.
Malcolm Merlyn : No.
Oliver Queen : Malcolm.
Malcolm Merlyn : I will not work with her.
Nyssa al Ghul : I told you.
Malcolm Merlyn : I'd sooner slice her throat.
Nyssa al Ghul : Try to, you mean
Oliver Queen : Malcolm, you said you were willing to do whatever it takes to get Thea back. So here we are!

Felicity Smoak : Freeze, jerk wad!
[Oliver raises his arms in surrender]
Felicity Smoak : Sorry. I knew it was you, but what if it wasn't "you" you? You know, multiple Earths, evil twins, et cetera. "Et cetera" being the scariest thing I've said all day.
[putting down the rifle she's holding]
Felicity Smoak : I hate this thing. I'm a little on edge. I'm actually really looking forward to being holed up at an A.R.G.U.S. safe house.
Oliver Queen : I don't want you in the safe house. I want you down here with me.
Felicity Smoak : What? No. Why? I... I can run comms remotely, okay? And if Malcolm Merlyn has proven anything, it's that when it comes to the League of Assassins, locks are more like suggestions.
Oliver Queen : I can handle Talia all Ghul and whatever acolytes she's fighting with. Where I need you is down here with me so that both of us can try to stop Chase.
-
Oliver Queen : [holding a gun to Chase's head] I am not going to kill you. I am never going to give you the satisfaction of being the man that you think I am.
-
Oliver Queen : You're not pulling my strings anymore, Adrian.
Adrian Chase : At least you admit that I have been. Hey, but just so that we're clear, the moment I get on that transfer chopper, my friends have orders to kill yours.
Oliver Queen : We'll see about that.
[smirking, Chase is led away, then stops]
Adrian Chase : Think you're about to get a phone call.
-
[Someone drops down from the rafters. Oliver grabs an arrow from Thea's suit and hurls it in their direction]
Malcolm Merlyn : I see your sense of hospitality remains intact.
Oliver Queen : You are not welcome here, Malcolm.
Malcolm Merlyn : Do you aim to cu toff my other hand, Oliver?
Oliver Queen : Maybe. You gonna tell another person about my son?
Malcolm Merlyn : Last time I was down here, I saved your life.
Oliver Queen : Do you really think that gives you pass for serving up William to Damien Darhk?
Malcolm Merlyn : I'm sorry about that--I wasn't thinking clearly. I let me emotions get out of hand...
[Waving his non-existent hand]
Malcolm Merlyn : That is all in the past.
Malcolm Merlyn : The only thing I can concerned about now is saving my daughter.
-
Malcolm Merlyn : I admire you, Oliver. It takes a special kind of idiot to actually get dumber with time.
Oliver Queen : I am not in the mood, Malcolm.
Malcolm Merlyn : Human connections are what keep us human, and it's sad that it's a psychopath that has to point this out to you. You can't live on an island--you've already tried, but you are always going to have people in your life, Oliver, and they will always need you. Better or worse, baggage and all, and if you can't accept that, your past is gonna stay your anchor.
Oliver Queen : We are very capable people, and we are going to find a way to rescue everyone.
-
Oliver Queen : [Raising their glasses] Thank you all so much for doing this. Cheers. I almost forgot what it was like to celebrate a birthday.
John Diggle : That's because we're usually saving the city from being destroyed this time of year.
Quentin Lance : This uh, it's like summer break for you guys. What are you gonna do, huh?
Curtis Holt : I've always wanted to see Florence--the city in Italy, not the woman or her weird machines.
John Diggle : I"m gonna teach J.J. how to fish. Few days with my son on the water--that will be heaven.
Felicity Smoak : I was thinking the Pacific Crest Trail, for a night.
[Felicity is watching Oliver is he gives her a bright, knowing look]
Felicity Smoak : For, you know, just one night under the stars, and then definitely a manicure-pedicure afterwards.
John Diggle : What about you, Oliver? We know you got City Hall and all, but...
Oliver Queen : Yeah, it keeps me busy, but I--I need to buy some socks.
[the group looks at him scoffing in disbelief]
Oliver Queen : Everybody has their thing--I need socks bad.
John Diggle : Socks it is.
Felicity Smoak : Hey, we all need socks.
Thea Queen : [after watching Oliver and Felicity gazing at each other longingly] Uh, well I think we could all use another piece of cake, right?
Quentin Lance : Yeah, sure.
Curtis Holt : You know, actually, I'm good. Had about three or four slices myself.
John Diggle : [Diggle walks back and places his hands on Curtis' shoulders] You need cake, son.
Curtis Holt : Oh, okay. Oh... Yeah, yeah. I need that , yeah.
[DIggle and Curtis join the others to leave Oliver and Felicity alone]
-
Oliver Queen : [after Diggle and Curtis leave for "cake"] That was subtle.
Felicity Smoak : So subtle. I guess since the dinner at Chez Marta was a ruse, they think we deserve some alone time.
Oliver Queen : Do we? Well, I mean, I didn't know if it was a...
Felicity Smoak : We can take it one step at a time.
Oliver Queen : I would like that very much.
Felicity Smoak : This is hard for you, huh?
Oliver Queen : Hypothetically dating my ex-fiance? No, it's...
Felicity Smoak : Wow, no... I meant summer vacation, as they are now calling it.
Oliver Queen : It's incredibly hard. It's borderline impossible.
Felicity Smoak : We won... Oliver, we won. Just take a step back, you know. You can put your feet up, no matter the state of your socks. You could just, God forbid, relax.
[Fixing his tie]
Oliver Queen : Yeah.
-
Thea Queen : [Oliver blows out his candles] I love the cake--where did you get it?
Felicity Smoak : Lord Mesa Bakery.
John Diggle : What's with the number 6? Is that for the number of members of the team?
Curtis Holt : It's cool.
Felicity Smoak : Actually, I ordered the cake for a six-year-old because I wasn't sure that I could order a Green Arrow cake for a grown man.
[Oliver points to his forehead as if to say 'good thinking']
Curtis Holt : Well hey, Oliver's a child at heart, right?
[Oliver looks at him silently disagreeing]
Curtis Holt : That is the concussion talking, yep--for sure.
Oliver Queen : I'm really sorry about that, Curtis.
Curtis Holt : No, that's okay. But you should know that if I'd had my T-Spheres, I would have...
Oliver Queen : Would've what?
Curtis Holt : [Felicity looks at both of them in amusement] Would've still been on the floor.
Oliver Queen : I"m very sorry.
