Quotes 

• Reporter : Mr. Queen, why are you being arrested again?

  Oliver Queen : I have voluntarily, uh, handed myself over to the FBI.

  Reporter : Can you comment any further?

  Oliver Queen : Yes, I can.

  [looks at the TV camera] 

  Oliver Queen : I am the Green Arrow. I realized that I denied that claim with the same conviction with which I'm speaking now. I have let good people stand accused of things that I've done. Roy Harper is not the Green Arrow. Tommy Merlyn is most certainly not the Green Arrow. These are two names on a long list of people who hav given so much and sacrificed everything in the name of my crusade. Some of them gave their lives in the pursuit of one simple objective - to save our city. Star City still needs saving. Last night, we dealt our enemy a critical blow, but there is still work to be done, so I'm looking to the people of this city, I'm looking to my allies, to my friends, to my partners... and asking them to continue, to keep fighting. I'm asking them to complete our mission... to save our city.

• Quentin Lance : We've come a long way, you and me

  Oliver Queen : It's been getting better since the first time you arrested me.

  Quentin Lance : You know, I've always been curious - how'd you beat that lie detector anyway?

  Oliver Queen : It just comes down to keeping a regular heart rate.

  Quentin Lance : I got a pacemaker that does that.

  Oliver Queen : I didn't know you had a pacemaker.

  Quentin Lance : I got it after that Mirakuru business a few years back. The old ticker couldn't take that pounding. Heh.

  Oliver Queen : Yeah.

  Quentin Lance : Truth be told, I don't know if I could take it now.

  Oliver Queen : Yes, it can, OK, because you're tough. Laurel is tough, too, so trust me and this will all work out.

• Oliver Queen : Agent Watson told me about your call with Zoe.

  Rene Ramirez : I thought I was gonna die in that room. I just wanted to say good-bye.

  Oliver Queen : Tell her how proud you are of her?

  Rene Ramirez : There's not enough words to say how much.

  Oliver Queen : I feel the same way about you, Rene. When I first met you, I - I didn't think that were much more than a thug in a - heh - in a ridiculous costume.

  Rene Ramirez : You're no prize yourself, hoss.

  Oliver Queen : I judged you. For far too long, I judged you, and that was a mistake. I'm sorry. I think that you're a good man, Rene. I think that you're the type of man that this - this city deserves.

  Rene Ramirez : I know it seems like I don't give a crap about what anyone thinks, but this means a lot.

• Samanda Watson : You tell Diaz you want to see Laurel, proof of life. We follow you to her, her to Diaz.

  Quentin Lance : You go in there guns blazing, my daughter takes the first bullet.

  Samanda Watson : From what Oliver tells me, she's not actually your daughter, and she's a criminal that made her own bed. This isn't a hostage situation. Our objective has changed.

  Quentin Lance : Oliver, please.

  Oliver Queen : We can keep her safe.

  Quentin Lance : How? The first thing he'll do when he sees you coming is kill her!

  Oliver Queen : I think this is a risk we need to take.

  Quentin Lance : Yeah? Would you be taking that risk if this was *our* Laurel, or is that the kind of risk that got her killed in the first damn place?

• Oliver Queen : Diaz clearly has a third base of operations we don't know about.

  Rene Ramirez : Yo, hoss. Mask?

  Samanda Watson : Mr. Queen and I have come to an understanding. Even if we didn't, your identity is hardly a well-kept secret, Mr. Ramirez.

  Rene Ramirez : So you're done trying to throw us in jail?

  Oliver Queen : Everyone has immunity from prosecution, Rene. The FBI recognizes that Diaz is the clear and present danger.

  Rene Ramirez : Better late than never, I suppose.

  Felicity Smoak : That immunity deal does include me, right, because I'd really like not to spend the rest of my life in prison if I can avoid it.

• Quentin Lance : Anyone ever tell you it's rude to sneak up on people?

  Oliver Queen : Diaz?

  Quentin Lance : He's gonna kill her.

  Oliver Queen : I won't let that happen, Quentin.

  Quentin Lance : What about Watson, huh? Doesn't seem so important to her.

  Oliver Queen : Just let me worry about Samanda Watson and let me try to keep Laurel safe.

  Quentin Lance : I don't see how you can, Oliver.

  Oliver Queen : You can start by trusting me, please. I mean, I've earned it. We've known each other for a very long time, Quentin.

  Quentin Lance : Heh. A lifetime.

• Quentin Lance : You did good, Oliver.

  Oliver Queen : Thank you. It's not over yet.

  Quentin Lance : It is for you. Am I wrong?

  [Oliver shakes his head] 

  Quentin Lance : I've been dealing with Samanda Watson for months. There's no way she was gonna help you without strings attached, but those strings, Oliver, that's a hell of a sacrifice.

  Oliver Queen : I had to look at the way that I've been doing things. It's not working. I lost my city, I lost my team. There's a penance for that.

  Quentin Lance : It just seems a little drastic.

  Oliver Queen : Coming from the guy who just took a bullet for his daughter. Quentin, I hope I took the time to tell you, uh... you're a really good father.

  Quentin Lance : So are you.

  Oliver Queen : I had a good example.

  Quentin Lance : Yeah. Your dad was a good man.

  Oliver Queen : I'm not talking about my dad.

• Green Arrow : We're on site.

  Felicity Smoak : The FBI has graciously given me control of their keyhole satellites, which I got to say are a lot easier to operate when they aren't being hacked.
