The Ties That Bind (2018)

Emily Bett Rickards: Felicity Smoak

Quotes 

• Oliver Queen : Does this absolutely have to be done onsite?

  Felicity Smoak : It absolutely does if you absolutely want it to work.

• Oliver Queen : I shouldn't have pushed you away. I should have trusted you to keep yourself safe, and I should have trusted my abilities to help keep you safe.

  Felicity Smoak : Thank you.

  Oliver Queen : Yeah.

  Felicity Smoak : It's good to know after all these years that you can stil learn something.

  Oliver Queen : Nah, I still have a ways to go.

  Felicity Smoak : That's true. So what now?

  Oliver Queen : I have an idea.

• Lyla Michaels : Everything okay?

  Felicity Smoak : Yeah. It's just... it's so nice to see how you and John, you know, work when you're in the field, because you're so in sync. How do you do it?

  Lyla Michaels : You're asking for marital advice? Now?

  Felicity Smoak : Sorry. Yeah, totally terrible timing. It's just that, like, Oliver doesn't even want me here. So I just thought maybe a tip or two would work.

  Lyla Michaels : We always knew our lives would be high risk. Eventually we got to a point where worrying about that seemed less important than enjoying the time we have together, even if that was on a battlefield.

  Felicity Smoak : Oh, that's so sweet.

  Lyla Michaels : Also, getting divorced helps.

• Felicity Smoak : I just spoke to Rene, Dinah, and John. They're okay.

  Oliver Queen : Good. Wait. What about Curtis?

  Felicity Smoak : He's okay. His boyfriend isn't. He has to go into surgery.

  Oliver Queen : Starling General is not secure.

  Felicity Smoak : No, no, no. Lyla sent them to the A.R.G.U.S. medbay. They're gonna be okay.

  Oliver Queen : Quentin?

  Felicity Smoak : Quentin said that Diaz isn't gonna attack the mayor. He's too much in the public eye. But Laurel's in the wind.

• Felicity Smoak : I'm gonna just take a wild guess and say that this isn't one of those conversations that starts with, like, "I love you. You were brave. You go. That was awesome."

  Oliver Queen : No. This is a conversation that happens because I love you.

  Felicity Smoak : Okay.

  Oliver Queen : You promised me you would stay put.

  Felicity Smoak : Well, I didn't exactly promise.

• Oliver Queen : You promised you wouldn't do anything stupid. You charged into a firefight.

  Felicity Smoak : Which was a calculated risk.

  Oliver Queen : Did you calculate how close Ricardo Diaz came to shooting you in the back of the head?

  Felicity Smoak : We got what we wanted.

  Oliver Queen : That's not...

  Felicity Smoak : And if I'm right, what we wanted has the list of everyone in the city that Diaz controls. This could help us get our home back from Diaz, Oliver. We could actually save our city this time around. I think that's a little bit more important that "what ifs".

  Oliver Queen : This is why I started working alone again.

  Felicity Smoak : Yeah. You know what? I tried convincing myself that that was the right move, too, but it's not, because we're married and we're supposed to be each other's strength. So there is no "alone" for us anymore.

  Oliver Queen : It's not that simple, and you know it.

  Felicity Smoak : God. I'm really gonna start needing you to see it that way.
