Laurel Lance quotes from Arrow

He let this happen.

View quote →

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]

Laurel

It's true. This city isn't lacking masks.

Heroes. Which is why I no longer need to be one.

Felicity

What are you saying?

[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.

Thea

So what are you gonna call yourself now? Everybody thinks Roy was the Arrow.

Well he won't need a code name if he's headed back to Ivy Town.

[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.

Laurel

What are you talking about?

The man leading the Ghosts is Damien Darhk.

Laurel

Darhk left Star City months ago. Why would he come back?

Did Ra's tell you anything about Darhk that would give us any idea about his agenda?

He said that Damien Darhk had a hive of operatives at his disposal.

Hive. That was the exact word he used?

Yes. Why? Does it mean something to you?

[Diggle flashes back]

Who would want to kill Andy?

Deadshot

I don't know their names. Just an alias. H.I.V.E.

[back in the present day]

No. No, nothing.

He left behind evidence.

Fingerprints.

Laurel

How'd you get the owner to part with his windshield?

I bought his truck. It's one of the benefits of your girlfriend inheriting a multi-billion dollar conglomerate. We have money now.

Laurel

You've been investigating this for two years and you haven't told anyone?

It's a family thing Laurel. I would think you. of all people, would understand keeping secrets when it comes to the death of a sibling.

Laurel

I do. And because I do, I can tell you carrying a burden like that never ends in any way but bad.

View quote →

Why didn't you come to me with this?

Laurel

Come to you for what? Your expertise with magical resurrection? Or that judgmental look on your face?

For help finding your sister, Laurel, before she gets hurt, or she hurts anyone else. And If I have a judgmental look on my face right now, it's because you played with forces that you do not understand, and now people are dying because of it.

View quote →

Laurel, come with me.

Laurel

Is Thea okay?

No. Not only is Thea hospitalized, but she has Merlyn influencing her to kill people.

Laurel

What are you talking about?

Oh, just another thing that happened on your secret trip to Nanda Parbat.

Laurel

Hey! I didn't tell you that I took my sister to Nanda Parbat because I knew that you wouldn't approve. Why didn't you tell me that you took Thea?

What does that have to do with anything?!

Laurel

It's the hypocrisy that I can't stand. What? It's okay for you to do whatever you have to for your sister, but it's not okay for me to do the same to mine?

Sara was dead. Thea wasn't.

Laurel

Then why didn't you tell me about Thea seven months ago? Because you don't see me as an equal.

What? Oh, come on, Laurel, of course I see you as an equal.

Laurel

No, you don't! You never have. You never told me that you were the Arrow–

Keep your voice down!

Laurel

You never supported me becoming the Black Canary, and you never would have told me that there's a way to save my sister. My sister, she's out of her mind right now because of something that I did, a decision that I made. Did you ever just stop and think for one second about what I might be going through? I'm sorry about what happened to Thea. I really am. I love your family, I always have. I just wish that sometimes you would give a damn about mine.

Laurel, you were right... I haven't always been the best friend for you but... I'd be grateful for the opportunity to try to start to be.

Laurel

How can I say no to the man who helped me save my sister's soul?

Laurel

Oliver, we'll find them.

Not even the ghosts know where they are. Did you learn anything from the hotline?

Laurel

Only how many crazy/bored people there are in the city. Don't go there.

Where?

Laurel

Your go-to place. Where you sit there and say that's all your fault.

Well, it is my fault. I'm the one who outed Darhk.

Laurel

I know. I seem to remember us all being there when you did.

I ran for Mayor because I can protect myself and that all of you could, too.

Laurel

And you were right, we can.

I know, but you didn't sign up for this.

Laurel

Oliver, we can take care of ourselves and that's including Felicity. You inspired a lot of people.

Well, Thea, and John, and Felicity, inspiration is not what they need tonight. But somewhere, someplace there is a ghost that's going to talk to me.

Laurel

And if there isn't?

Then I'm going to take great pleasure in trying to make them.

Laurel

Ollie, what are you thinking?

That I should have done a better job keeping an eye on her. She told me the blood-lust came back two months ago and I didn't even know. I've been focused on the campaign, and I've been running back and forth to Central City, and I...

Felicity

How is it that you always manage to blame yourself for everything?

That's his superpower. Guilt Arrow.

Quentin

[after building collapsed] It's like the big bad wolf huffed and puffed or something.

Laurel

This wolf being Darhk.

Laurel

[about Mari] She's a friend. A hero in Detroit they call Vixen.

Mari and I had an animated encounter last year and we've stayed in touch.

Laurel

I know how passionately you love and how much it hurts once that love goes away.

You know, between Merlyn, Slade Wilson and Ra's al Ghul, I thought I'd be a little... tougher than this by now.

Laurel

That's a different type of pain. And this takes longer to heal.

[Team Arrow is looking at Darhk's idol.]

Why does that thing creep me out the way it does?

Laurel

Because it's creepy.

There's something I haven't told you guys.

Thea

Shocker. [Oliver gives her a look] Sorry.

I've seen this idol before.

Laurel

What? Where?

Lian Yu.

Laurel

You really love not talking about that place, don't you?

Darhk

You know, you're lucky I'm not the man that you think I am, Miss Lance. If I were the man that your father so vehemently claims, you'd be in a lot of trouble right now, wouldn't you?

Laurel

Are you threatening an assistant district attorney?

Darhk

Oh, no, no, no. Not at all. Just merely trying to figure out where your father gets these vicious ideas from. Ooh! Oh. I hope his mind isn't starting to go. You know, dementia is sometimes an aftereffect of long-term alcoholism.

Laurel

You're a son of a bitch.
