John Diggle quotes from Arrow

Felicity

Is the fact that he's lying there freaks me out a little make me a bad person?

Diggle

Felicity, I don't think there's a force on earth that can make you a bad person.

Oliver

[talking about Thea] Thanks for taking care of her.

Diggle

Lucky for me, she's not as good at disappearing as you are.

Felicity

I don't even know why I'm crying. I didn't even like Moira. Terrible thing to say about someone after they've just died. In my defense, she was not nice. She was diabolical. Not a word you often hear at someone's funeral.

Diggle

You're not crying for her, Felicity, you're crying for Oliver.

Felicity

Where is he? How could he not be here?

Diggle

I don't know...

If Oliver's smart... He ran back to his island to hide. But maybe he'll attend your funerals.

Oliver

She's dead because of me. Five years ago, I could have cured Slade, and that would have prevented all of this. And now, all the people left that I care about, we're all in his crosshairs. It ends tonight.

Felicity

How?

Oliver

I turn myself over to Slade. I end this vendetta.

Diggle

Oliver, you think this ends with you turning yourself over to Slade?

Oliver

Yes, I do. After she was gone... he told me that one more person had to die, and then it would end. This ends for Slade when he kills me.

Felicity

I don't accept that. You shouldn't either. You can't just accept things, Oliver. If I had accepted my life, I would be a cocktail waitress in Vegas like my mother, and I never would have gone to college, and I never would have moved a thousand miles away to work at Queen Consolidated, and I never would have believed some crazy guy in a hood when he told me I could be more than just some IT girl. Please, don't do this.

Oliver

Felicity...someone once told me that the essence of heroism is to die so others can live.

Diggle

It's not that simple, Oliver.

Oliver

Yes, it is. Slade's whole plan was to take everything from me, and he did. He wins. All that's left is for me to die.

Felicity

No, there has to be another way.

Oliver

There isn't.

Diggle

Clinton Hogue. I have some questions for you.

Go to hell.

Diggle

You sure that's how you want to play it?

You think I've never taken a beating before?

Diggle

Pal, you're going to wish I beat you.

Felicity

Hi. I'll be your interrogator.

Is this a joke?

Felicity

Clinton Hogue. Social security number 306003894.

What the hell's this supposed to be?

Felicity

Oh, look at this. You have a bank account in the Cayman Islands. Wow. $2 million, quite the little nest egg. But... looks like you just approved a wire transfer of $1 million to a charity here in Starling City. Very generous. What should I do with the rest?

Diggle

Greenpeace.

Felicity

Great cause! And they really appreciate support.

You bitch!

Felicity

Bitch with wi-fi.

Felicity

Last time I didn't notice; it's actually kind of beautiful here. Don't get me wrong, I'm counting the seconds until we shove off minefield island.

Diggle

So you think that'll be enough to hold him, A.R.G.U.S.'s super max?

Oliver

Him and anyone else we send here. This battle may be over, but there will be others. Starting with getting my family's company back.

Felicity

That's not going to be easy since you're poor now. You're going to have to get a job. If Slade doesn't scare you, that's got to.

Oliver

Do you know anyone hiring ex-billionaires with superior archery skills?

Oliver

Congratulations John. And not just on the baby. You and Lyla are happy.

Diggle

Well you know, you should try it some time.

Oliver

Last girlfriend? She's in the League of Assassins. My girlfriend before that? She shot my girlfriend before that. Listen, I'm... not exactly a catch at the moment.

Diggle

Maybe Felicity will change all that.

Oliver

It's not the right time.

Diggle

Things are as good now as ever will be Oliver. And you love her. You even told her so.

Oliver

I was trying to fool Slade.

Diggle

Yes, except now the only person you're fooling is yourself.

Arrow

Send his photo to Roy. Get me Felicity.

Diggle

Got it.

Felicity

I can't talk right now, I'm at work. Could I ask you guys to wait one moment? Someone's calling for tech support! You're going to get me so incredibly fired. Okay, I'm hacking into the city's database, I am running facial recognition now.

Arrow

Do you like Italian?

Felicity

What?

Arrow

For tonight. You like Italian right? Everyone likes Italian.

Felicity

Oliver, you're in the middle of a high speed chase.

Arrow

I'm multitasking!

Oliver

Diggle!

Diggle

Behind you! [throws Oliver a gun.]

Oliver

I never said I didn't know how to use a gun.

Hey! Secret identity?

Barry

They're married!

We're not married.

Barry

Or together. Whatever, he told her about me.

Barry

You didn't...?

Diggle

I keep secrets for a living, man.

Barry

Ah. My bad.

Lyla

You... you're...

Barry

The Flash. Sushi?

Diggle

He's not coming back. Oliver. I know you don't want to believe it, Laurel, God knows I don't but, he's not coming back.

Laurel

Are you? Are you coming back?

Diggle

I don't know. For the first time since I met Oliver Queen I don't know what happens next. I know it's silly, but I still like to think of myself as Oliver's bodyguard. I just couldn't protect him. It's funny. He was worried something would happen to me.

Diggle

OK. The point is, if we're going to do this without Oliver, Felicity, we have to trust each other.

Felicity

You don't get it. There is no 'this' without him. It's done. I'm done.

Diggle

Sometimes, me and Oliver come down here after, you know, tough nights. He would pour this, look up and say "Prochnost."

Roy

What does that mean?

Diggle

I have no earthly idea. To Oliver.

Roy

To Oliver.

Roy

You think you're the only person who can stand up for Thea?

Oliver

I'm trying to figure out why you're standing up to me!

Diggle

Alright. Maybe we just need to throttle back.

Felicity

No! We need this. Oliver, you were gone, dead, at least we thought you were, and we had to go on with our lives and doing that meant not doing things your way.

Oliver

Fine. I'm back now!

Felicity

That doesn't mean we can go back! And you do not have the right to come back here and question everyone's choices.

Diggle

No, you weren't gone. You were dead and all of us, including me; we were ready to hang it up.

Oliver

Why didn't you?

Diggle

Because we realized we weren't just fighting for you, we were fighting for ourselves. That includes Roy and, yes, that includes Laurel.

Oliver

She's not a soldier.

Diggle

Neither were you.

Oliver

It's not the same thing and you know that.

Diggle

What I know, Oliver, is that you started something, something strong enough to live on past you. Question is, can you live with what it's become?
