Quotes 

• Adrian Chase : As agreed. Dwarf star particles that powers Merlyn's weapon.

  Oliver Queen : Thank you.

  Adrian Chase : And now you're going to tell me what you're gonna do with them?

  Oliver Queen : Not destroy a city. Don't worry.

  Adrian Chase : You're from a parallel universe, aren't you? The Hood from another reality?

  John Diggle : How did you know that?

  Adrian Chase : Bruce Wayne once told me that if you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.

  Oliver Queen : Well, as The Hood from a parallel universe, may I offer you some advice? Change "The Hood" to Green Arrow. Trust me.

• Mar Novu : It never ceases to impress - humanity's capacity for invention. Hmm. Infinite number of worlds, and not a single one where man fails to emerge from caves and hold dominion over the Earth.

  Oliver Queen : What are you doing here?

  Mar Novu : Reminding you what you are doing here, which does not include interfering with the events of this Earth.

  Oliver Queen : I have no intentions of interfering.

  Mar Novu : Well, you're not here to confront Malcolm Merlyn with your suspicion that he is the Dark Archer.

  Oliver Queen : Well, I went to applied sciences last night th retrieve the dwarf star particles just like you asked me to.

  Mar Novu : You make it sound like a trifle. Those specific particles can only be found only on this Earth out of a multitude.

  Oliver Queen : My point is when I arrived, Malcolm had already stolen them. You know what might help? If I actually knew why I was after them.

  Mar Novu : That I have tasked you should be reason enough. Or have you come to doubt your commitment to this mission?

  Oliver Queen : No, I have not.

• Tommy Merlyn : She's got a point. It's a lot of drama for the past 24 hours. Maybe we should reconsider Oliver's welcome home party.

  Malcolm Merlyn : No, no, no, no. It'll just look like we're trying to cover something up.

  Oliver Queen : Yeah. And I missed tequila.

• John Diggle : You know, Oliver, it's interesting that we're revisiting where we first met. You going at it alone is like deja vu. I thought you and I were past that.

  Oliver Queen : This is new. It's bigger. And I'm not going to ask you to take the risk it involves.

  John Diggle : Oliver, that's the thing about being brothers. You never, ever have to ask.

  Oliver Queen : Can you just believe me when I you tell this is different?

  John Diggle : Yeah. Felicity told me. Some godlike being talking about the end of the universe? What didn't she tell me, Oliver?

  Oliver Queen : A crisis is coming, John. He's seen what happens. He's watched me die.

• Dinah Drake : You should've stayed on that island.

  Oliver Queen : Back on my Earth, you had a better teacher.

• Oliver Queen : The city's lucky to have a hero like you in it.

  Laurel Lance : Wow. That might be the nicest thing you've ever said to me. Thank you.

• Oliver Queen : [knocking Dig out]  You always fall for this move.

• Dark Archer : You don't have to do this.

  Green Arrow : I was thinking the same thing. This is not what Thea would have wanted!

  Dark Archer : Well, that's funny. You know what she used to say?

  Green Arrow : "The dead don't want anything."

  Dark Archer : It's one of the benefits of being dead.

• Oliver Queen : Tommy's planning his very own Undertaking.

  John Diggle : Don't worry. We'll stop him.

• Oliver Queen : John, I appreciate the assist, but I still have to do this on my own.

  John Diggle : Right, because you think you have to die, right?

  Oliver Queen : No. I know I'm gonna die.

  John Diggle : And I know that I don't have to accept that.

  Oliver Queen : If I let let you help me, you will get hurt or you will get killed. And it will be because of me.

  John Diggle : You don't know that.

  Oliver Queen : I *do* know that! Because everyone else in my life is either dead or alone. Look at the Earth that we're on. I've been gone twelve years. My mother's alive. Tommy's alive. Laurel's alive.

  John Diggle : Thea is dead. And, yes, Tommy's alive. But he's trying another Undertaking with Rene and Dinah helping, who, if you haven't noticed, are very bad people here. Oliver, this world isn't better. It's much, much worse. You know why? Because you weren't in it.

  Oliver Queen : I've known you long enough to know I can't talk you out of this. You better have a good plan.

• Oliver Queen : The Dark Archer stole dwarf star particles, and is planning to use them to level the Glades tonight.

  Adrian Chase : And you know that how?

  Oliver Queen : Because I was just with him. Tommy Merlyn is the Dark Archer.

  Laurel Lance : Are you sure?

  Oliver Queen : He blames the Glades for what happened to Thea.

• Adrian Chase : If you wanted to level an entire neighborhood, how would you do it?

  John Diggle : I'd use an earthquake machine.

  Adrian Chase : That sounds like science fiction to me. And Merlyn stole dwarf star particles, which would make for a very real weapon. Overlaying the blast radius with a map of the Glades should allow us to pinpoint its optimal location.

  John Diggle : [to Oliver]  He's like you, Curtis, and Felicity all rolled into one.

  Adrian Chase : I could only narrow it down to four square blocks.

  Laurel Lance : So we split up, find it on foot.

  Oliver Queen : No, we don't. Thea died in the Glades. We find out where, we find Tommy.

  Adrian Chase : What are you, some kind of psychic?

  Oliver Queen : Maybe I'm just ten steps ahead of you.

• Oliver Queen : Adrian, this is John Diggle. He's my... bodyguard.

  Adrian Chase : You need a bodyguard?

  Laurel Lance : He's not a bodyguard. And I thought you didn't need our help.

  Oliver Queen : I've been wrong before.

• Oliver Queen : I'm looking for Felicity Smoak.

  Not Felicity : [amused laugh]  Like Felicity Smoak would slum it in I.T. instead of running Smoak Tech.

• Laurel Lance : So, how much small talk do I have to endure before you tell me what it is exactly you're doing on my Earth?

  Oliver Queen : Yeah, it's a long story.

  Laurel Lance : Why don't you start by telling me what you were doing on Lian Yu? You know, if you wanted to pretend to be back from the dead, you could've just shown up in town.

  Oliver Queen : I wasn't given a choice. I was sent to your Earth, and I arrived on Lian Yu.

• Tommy Merlyn : So, uh, things you missed while you were gone. I got married and divorced twice. Ah, let's see. What other gossip did you miss?

  Oliver Queen : Our parents getting married.

  Malcolm Merlyn : It's, um...

  Moira Queen : Complicated.

• Laurel Lance : Oh, good! You're still here.

  Oliver Queen : What's going on?

  Laurel Lance : The city's under attack.

  Oliver Queen : By who?

  [At that very moment, a huge wall of antimatter crashes through a section of the entire Starling City Police Department, vaporizing the entire residents of Earth-2, including Rene Ramirez and Dinah Drake] 

  Laurel Lance : We have to get the hell out of here!

  John Diggle : Go where?

  Oliver Queen : Home, to Earth-1! Cisco's device.

  John Diggle : Right.

  [takes Cisco Ramon's transdimensional device out of his jacket and activates it. A transdimensional portal opens up] 

  Moira Queen : [runs straight towards Oliver and stops several feet away from him]  Oliver!

  Oliver Queen : [turns his head and looks at the Earth-2 version of Moira Queen]  Mom?

  [Moira reaches out with her hand and is vaporized by the wall of antimatter. Oliver turns to John Diggle] 

  Oliver Queen : Diggle, you gotta go. Go now!

  John Diggle : Right.

  [goes through the transdimensional portal] 

  Tommy Merlyn : [runs straight towards Oliver and Laurel and stops several feet away from them]  What's happening?

  [Oliver turns his head and looks at the Earth-2 version of Tommy Merlyn and watches helplessly as Tommy is vaporized by the wall of antimatter] 

  Laurel Lance : Oliver!

  [Oliver hesitates momentarily, stunned by what he saw] 

  Laurel Lance : Oliver!

  [Oliver sees the wall of antimatter coming straight for them, and heads straight for the transdimensional portal along with Laurel] 

  Oliver Queen : Laurel, come on!

  [He and Laurel go through the portal together as the wall of antimatter vaporizes what's left of the Starling City Police Department and all of Earth-2 into oblivion] 

• Tommy Merlyn : So I've been thinking it over, and you really were on Lian Yu, because if you had been here, you would've been protecting our sister. So the question is, why are you running around in The Hood's hood?

  Oliver Queen : It doesn't matter.

  Tommy Merlyn : Yes, it does! The Hood is running around this city thinking that he is saving it, and nothing can save it. You don't understand the cancer that has taken over this city.

  Oliver Queen : My God, this is the Undertaking. You stole the dwarf star particles because you want to destroy the Glade and get vengeance for Thea.

  Tommy Merlyn : How could you know that? And what happened to you on that island?

  Oliver Queen : What happened to you while I was on the island?

  Tommy Merlyn : While you were gone, the city has been rotting. It can't be saved!

  Oliver Queen : That's not true, Tommy. I have seen Starling City come back from darker moments than this. It can be redeemed. You can be redeemed.

  Tommy Merlyn : You don't understand what I've seen. You don't how I found our sister. Every time I close my eyes, I see her body lying there, cold, on a dirty floor. So I swore that I would get vengeance on the Glades for what it did to Thea, and I'm not going to let her down. Not again!

  Oliver Queen : That's not gonna make you feel better, Tommy.

  Tommy Merlyn : I don't care about feeling better. I just want the Glades to suffer.

  Oliver Queen : You're a better man than this.

  Tommy Merlyn : That was a different me.

• Green Arrow : I know how devastating it must have been to lose Thea, because we're only as good as the people we have in our lives. I lost people, too, Tommy. I lost people closer to me than I could possibly explain to you. Every one of those losses brings with it a choice between darkness and light. Make the right choice. Are you gonna kill thousands of innocent people, or are you gonna be the man I know you are?

  Tommy Merlyn : [powering his machine down]  That was a pretty good speech.
