I think John's right. I think you're struggling with doing nothing. With Roy, with Ray. But right now, you need people to help you. You need to let them. Maybe there is something more going on with you then just what's happening with Roy and this meta-human. You have sacrificed everything to be the Arrow, even you and me. But, whether or not you break Roy out Iron Heights, there is no more Arrow. Ra's took that from you.
Oliver
I was told once that a man cannot live by two names. Well, right now I can't live by either. So, I don't know who I am.
I'm afraid I will never forgive myself for leaving you here.
Oliver
You told me once that life's precious and that you wanted more from it than I could offer you. Don't give up on that. The only way that I'm gonna survive this is if I know that you're out there living your life, happy.
Oliver Queen can't. The Arrow can't. Both those men tried and both those men failed. You remember what you said to me during the night we spent together in Nanda Parbat? You're no longer either of those men. You've become... someone else. Become something else. This... is different now. Because despite your best efforts, you've allowed yourself to feel something. I know you think that's a weakness, it's not. It's your key to beating Ra's. Don't fight to die. Fight to live.
When I started this... I wanted to keep as far away from it as possible. Because that has always been my instinct. To go it alone. But the truth is, is that we won tonight because I wasn't alone. I thought that this crusade would only end with my death. But even if I had died tonight, it would live on because of you. [points at Laurel] And you. [points at Ray] Oh, and you. [looks at Thea]
[walks over to Felicity] Ra's took the Arrow identity from me. I couldn't be that person even if I wanted to be. And I don't want to be. I told you that I couldn't be the Arrow and be with you. I wanna be with you. You told me that I have become someone else and I would like to discover a little more about that person, if you'll come with me.
I was furious to think that you trusted Malcolm Merlyn more than you trusted me, but then I realized that I'm not angry at you, I'm angry at myself for thinking you're someone that you clearly aren't.
Oliver, after everything we've been through, man, I couldn't fathom why you didn't trust me. Then I realized you couldn't. It's not who you are. You don't trust. You don't love. You were able to fool Ra's and join the League because inside you are every bit as dark as they are.
Well he won't need a code name if he's headed back to Ivy Town.
Oliver
[looks at Felicity] Well I guess I need a code name. Felicity and I, we have missed this. We've missed all of you. And the city is far worse off than we thought.
Yeah. Turns out Central City is missing one. A Jeremy Tell. Cisco says we should call him "Double-Down", which doesn't exactly make sense, since he was getting a tattoo when the Dark Matter wave hit.
Oh, my God. It is not a long story. It is the shortest story in history. Two guys go take on criminals without asking for backup and nearly get killed in the process. You know, I haven't said anything up till now, because I was hoping that the two of you would removes your heads from your own asses but turns out I was wrong.
No, no, no. This is the part where I talk and you two listen. The both of you nearly got killed out there tonight because you didn't have each other's back.
I'm gonna take this to a guy at Palmer Tech to find out how some lunatic meta turns tattoos into lethal weapons. If you two haven't resolved your issues by the time I get back, I'm gonna find a bunch of Mirakuru soldiers to knock some sense into you.
We got lucky. Oliver, there was a time when I would've taken a bullet for you. And I don't know if I would do that now. Which means that when we're out there, we are not out there together. You crossed a line, man. And the fact that you could do that again sits in the back of my head somewhere.
Oliver
I get it! I get it. I understand that I crossed a line. I understand that I lost your trust. What I don't understand is why you won't give me a chance to earn it back.
