Quotes 

• Dinah Drake : Tell me what you need.

  Oliver Queen : I need some sleep.

  Dinah Drake : I think I can do one better. FBI transfers can get lost. Locks can be left open.

  Oliver Queen : I appreciate that, but if I make myself a fugitive, then obviously I'm making William an orphan.

  Dinah Drake : Gotta do it the right way.

  Oliver Queen : Yeah. I gotta do it the right way.

  Dinah Drake : Okay. Good night.

• Cayden James : I know what you're thinking. Where's the horrifically huge bomb? This is going to be an incredibly insightful evening.

  Green Arrow : Where is it?

  Cayden James : Your generation is so impatient. Why can't you just savor the anticipation? There is no bomb, so relax.

  Green Arrow : And all of this?

  Cayden James : To get your attention. To talk, that's all. It's not like I have your number.

  Green Arrow : You're insane.

  Cayden James : Thomas Szasz, the renowned psychiatrist and and psychoanalyst, says that there's no such thing as insanity. Revenge, on the other hand... is very real.

  Green Arrow : Revenge. I've never even met you.

  Cayden James : And yet you cost me something dear to me... someone very dear... My son. That's why I have arranged this little tête-à-tête... so that when your city burns, you'll know why.

• Oliver Queen : Please tell William not to worry.

  Felicity Smoak : You tell him yourself when you get home.

  Oliver Queen : I'm sorry, do you have half a million dollars lying around?

  Felicity Smoak : Actually, I do.

  Oliver Queen : What?

  Felicity Smoak : The first round of the angel investments for Curtis' and my startup came through.

  Oliver Queen : No. I can't let you do that.

  Felicity Smoak : I can't let you not let me.

• Quentin Lance : I'm assuming all of those squirrely looks mean that the girl in question is... is what, Laurel's evil twin?

  Oliver Queen : She's working with Cayden James, a criminal we've been tracking for some time. I have been wrestling over whether or not to tell you.

  Quentin Lance : Well, I'm glad you didn't, 'cause I don't want anything more to do with her.

  Oliver Queen : Well, Quentin, now that you know?

  Quentin Lance : I will distract myself clearing your good name.

• John Diggle : I told Felicity not to bother you with this.

  Oliver Queen : Which part? You being in the hospital? The experimental steroid? Or... the nerve damage that has affected you for months? Are you gonna be all right?

  John Diggle : I'll be fine. I didn't want you to worry, Oliver, which is why I didn't tell you.

  Oliver Queen : No. No, John, you didn't tell me because you knew I'd never let you go out there compromised, and that I'd certainly never let you compromise the team. I've been mad at you before, John. This... is the first time I've ever been disappointed.

  John Diggle : Oliver, you gave up the right to judge me when you gave up that hood.

  Oliver Queen : You don't get to claim the moral high ground here, my friend.

  John Diggle : Oh, I'm not, Oliver. But I apologized to people who I endangered - the team, Oliver. The team. My obligation begins and ends with them. I don't owe you a damn thing.

  Oliver Queen : For the sake of our friendship, I hope that's withdrawal talking.

• John Diggle : I put on this hood because you asked me to.

  Oliver Queen : Don't blame me for this.

  John Diggle : I'm not blaming you, Oliver. I blame myself for putting your needs, your goals, even your family, above my own. I've done that from the very beginning. That was my biggest mistake.

  Oliver Queen : That was your biggest mistake? Mine was trusting you to be the Green Arrow.

• Oliver Queen : [sitting with a comatose Thea]  Hey, Speedy. I miss you. I miss chatting. They say that, um... people in comas can hear other people talking to them. If you can hear me, just wake up, all right? Please. 'Cause I need you now.

• John Diggle : You remember last year when the Dominators put us into this alternate Star City?

  Oliver Queen : Yeah. Kind of difficult to forget.

  John Diggle : We got to see what our perfect life would be. Mine was being the Green Arrow. So you asking me to take the mantle was not selfish. It was giving me the one thing in the world that I never knew I wanted.

• Oliver Queen : Felicity thinks that Cayden James is going after Starling Stadium. There's gonna be 35,000 people there tonight.

  John Diggle : You're the mayor. Shut it down.

  Oliver Queen : I tried. Getting arrested is not doing a lot for my credibility.
