[Rene's wedding toast]
ReneTrue love is... so special that we all dream about it. And when I look at Oliver and Felicity, I'm reminded of how I felt about my wife on our wedding day. We were so in love. We would do anything for each other, I mean, no matter what. And that is the epitome of Oliver and Felicity. Yeah, I mean, you guys have had your struggles, but you always worked through it. These are two of the most genuine people in the world, and they deserve all the happiness, and... I'm so fortunate to call them my friends. So please raise a glass to true love. [raises his glass] Oliver and Felicity.
Rene Ramirez
I wanna help, too.
I think you've done enough.
Rene
Sorry about before, but I get it now. I'll do whatever you need.
What I need is to trust that when I do ask for your help, you're not immediately gonna make the problem worse.
He said he was sorry. Let us help.
Yeah, we could canvass the city.
Look what happened the last time you went looking for Samson. Pass.
Rene
Ragman should be here.
Overwatch, do you have a 20 on Ragman?
I texted him, like, 10 times and then 10 more, but nada.
Maybe he's sick. I mean, the flu's been going around, and by the looks of those rags, he does not hit the drycleaner very often.
CChurch
How you feeling, my friend?
Rene
You can keep it up with the foreplay, but I'm never giving you what you want.
CChurch
You remind me of this other guy I once tortured. Maybe bigger. More muscle on the frame. I was conversing with this son-of-a-bitch, just like you and I have been conversing for the past...what? Twenty hours or so? Knuckles hurt, even with the brass. Needed a shower, my lady was waiting for me. This guy would just not give me what I needed. Not unlike you. So I said to myself, "Tobias, make this guy feel pain like nobody who's ever lived". And then it clicked. It's not the pain that breaks people. It's fear. Fear of that pain. Of what that pain brings. What happens next. [gets up and walks off]
Rene
You're not gonna finish the story?
CChurch
Huh? Oh. I got what I wanted from that guy. So you might want to think about that the next time I ask you a question.
[Rory gives Curtis a liquid filled glass]
Oh, thanks. What is this?
Regan family schnapps recipe, it's strong and a little sweet, just like you. I thought we could use some, considering the circumstances. [turns to Evelyn] Would you care for some?
Umm... Rory, she's seventeen.
So? My dad was giving me this stuff since I was eleven.
Rene
[takes the glass] And what a fine weirdo you turned out to be. [drinks some schnapps] Look, if this meeting is because we learned Oliver's a killer, I got news for you: it's not news.
Killing Damien Dahrk and Church's guys is one thing, but having a secret kill-list...
Yeah, and he never even told us about it. Something completely different.
Well what's not different is him not telling us stuff. Have any of you noticed that when it comes to information sharing there seems to be two different teams?
It's only gotten worse since Diggle's been back.
Make up your mind guys! Are you pissed 'cause Oliver killed people or that he doesn't tell us everything?
How about both? How about I'm pissed that the guy who only shares the important information with his inner circle used to be a serial killer?
Which, again, he didn't tell us about.
Look, we all want to believe in Oliver's crusade, but how are we supposed to follow him into a battle when his first instinct is to hide the truth from us? First it's "I used to be a serial killer," what's tomorrow revelation going to be? I don't know how to operate with that in the back of my mind.
Rene
Think in "Flashpoint", I maybe dated her in high school?
It's an alternate timeline, not an alternate reality.
Rene
What's that supposed to mean?
It means - and no offense - like in a multiverse of possibilities, there's no world where Thea goes out with, you know, someone like you.
Rene
What's that supposed to mean, "someone like me"?
It means you're not my type.
Rene
Weird, man. She was dead and now she's not.
That's time travel for you.
Rene
Well, I don't mean about Laurel being back is what's weird. It's how you all reacted to it, like it's happened before. [Oliver stares at Rene, who then realizes.] It's happened before.
The Lance sisters have a habit of coming back to life. [walks off]
Rene
Wait, what?
The power went off, and the dampener along with it.
Rene
And Goldilocks huffed and puffed and blew the door down.
That's not exactly how her power works.
Is there something wrong with Cisco's specs? Because didn't we just replicate the pipeline's security system?
Rene
Damn, Blondie!
I'm sorry, would everyone just relax? I put tracking nanites in her water, the same ones we used to find Malcolm.
Well, that makes everything better!
Isn't that exactly how you used Anarky to find Darhk last year?
Could we have the room please?
Rene
Seriously? This is getting good.
Rene
So Mom and Dad are going twelve rounds upstairs?
They're just having a discussion.
Rene
Look, I know that I took the teasing too far earlier. I can be an acquired taste, but I'm sorry to hear about Paul and that I made you feel worse about it.
Thanks. That's really big of you.
Rene
So what are you doing down here?
Well, since the Black Siren's cry works on a more powerful frequency then Laurel's, these [gestures noise-cancelling ear buds] are useless. So, I was trying to see if there's a way to make the dampener portable, so that next time we go up against her...
Rene
You can take her powers away. Awesome.
Yeah, well, my ideas are one thing. Executing them is another.
Rene
You don't get it, do you?
Rene
That maybe instead of beating yourself up about what you can't do, take a moment and appreciate what you can do. 'Cause it's pretty badass.
[Tina sees Oliver, Curtis and Rene, all in costume, coming toward her.]
TBTina Boland
Wow. Costume warehouse having a fire sale I didn't know about? What do you want?
You're a vigilante, and a metahuman. For the past three years, you've been working alone.
We have a proposition for you. [off Oliver's look] Oh. Sorry, you were doing fine. You... you.. you take it here.
We'd like you to join us. And give you a home. A team. And a place to better train in the use of your power.
TTina
I can take care of myself. Oh, uh, and if you get in my way, I'll send the three of you back to Star City with your nuts in a sling. [walks to the edge of the roof and jumps off.]
Rene
I thought that went pretty good.
Eighteen people, by the way.
Rene
What?
The mall shooting. Eighteen people killed, twelve injured, one's a quadriplegic now.
Rene
Look, I know where you're going with this, but the Feds had assault weapons banned for years and it did nothing.
Rene
Sorry, hoss, but if the bad guys got guns, then I'm strapping up, too.
These are two inventions of mine: two autonomous mini-drones. One with offensive and the other with defensive capabilities.
Rene
So, what, you can't handle yourself on the field, you gotta give yourself a pair of balls? [considers] That was... that was too harsh, wasn't it?
You thi.. yeah, it was, um, but you know what, you recognized it.
Rene
Yeah, 'cause I... I'm tryin'... tryin' to work on it.
Really? Oliver can't go after Chase himself, so he finds guys who can.
Rene
He let them steal from a company that was barely hanging on. Oliver put hundreds of jobs on the line, and I know he knows that 'cause I was in the same briefing.
Speaking of which, why haven't you gone back into City Hall?
Because Lance banned him 'til Chase is taken off the board. Something to do with Rene threatening to pop a cap in his ass.
If Diggle's the new Oliver, and I'm obviously the new Felicity - don't hate... which one of you guys is the new Diggle?
DRDinah and Rene
[together] I am.
Rene
Seriously? You've been here like, what, ten minutes? You don't even have a code name.
Fine. You're the new Digg. [turns back to her computer]
The fact that she was not padding it... I mean, that's extremely Digg-like. You see the...
Rene
Okay. You're the new Digg.
[Dinah smiles and winks at Curtis.]
[Team Arrow and ARGUS are searching for Chase inside an old-time video arcade, when Curtis notices something.]
We have to move right now.
Rene
See something?
Yes! This... is "Maximum Force". It's vintage. We can not let anything happen to this.
Rene
I'm more worried about something happening to me.
