John Diggle quotes from Arrow

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

Diggle

How did you know that?

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

Oliver

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

Oliver

Why are you in Hong Kong? I thought you were with the Crescent Order.

I was, until I gave Nyssa the lotus cure to save your sister, and they called for my head.

Diggle

So you decided to become a vigilante?

My son died in this city. No more Akios will die here as long as I'm here to protect them. That explains what I'm doing here.

Diggle

It's all you, man.

Lyla

Johnny... What's really going on here? You've never been one to shy away from risk.

Diggle

I'd never seen a world just disintegrate right in front of my face. I know what we do requires risk. I've always accepted that, but this is different, Lyla. Seeing a universe just disappear, I don't know, it's like... like looking into the eye of God. It changes you. It changed me. I can't risk losing you. I can't risk that.

Lyla

No one knows the future. All we can do is enjoy the time we have with the people we love and make our choices from a place of strength, not fear, and if the world ends today, there is no one I'd rather have by my side.

Diggle

Wait. So an hour ago, I was just with Ben Turner's 6-year-old child, and now he's an adult now, and now I'm his father?

Rene

At least you didn't throw up like you usually do. Just saying.

Lyla

I'm sorry our first meeting had to be this. I envisioned getting to know my future son over a meal, not en route to a plane crash.

Connor

Mm, this... this feels about right for our family. Most of our milestones got interrupted by some sort of international emergency or another.

Lyla

Yeah. I guess your dad and I weren't really there for you and JJ.

Connor

You were there when it counted. Besides, I was beyond proud to be the son of the two superspies that co-founded Knightwatch.

Diggle

You never mentioned that.

Connor

I think maybe I wasn't supposed to. Time travel rules and all.

Diggle

Prochnost.

Roy

Ugh. I didn't know you spoke Russian.

Diggle

No. That's what Oliver used to say every time he drank this stuff.

Dinah

What exactly is this stuff?

Rene

Vodka.

Roy

Yeah. It tastes like turpentine.

Dinah

With faint hints of nail polish remover.

Roy

So what's the plan?

Laurel

I plan on getting as drunk as humanly possible.
