CurtisWhy don't you like us talking about this (gun control)?
I just don't like you guys arguing... while I'm trying to work.
Curtis
Why not? There's nothing wrong with a little healthy debate, Felicity.
It's not healthy if it doesn't accomplish anything and it's not... gonna accomplish anything.
[Curtis walks away, then stops and turns around.]
Curtis
Actually... I disagree. Not about the part of it not accomplishing anything, but this idea that it's not healthy. We used to talk about things as a society, you know. We'd debate and we would argue, and we still respected each another after.
Yeah, somewhere along the line, that just became...
CFCurtis and Felicity
Rude.
Curtis
Yeah. It became impolitic to talk politics. Can't help but wondering that maybe that's why our country is the way it is today.
Curtis
These are two inventions of mine: two autonomous mini-drones. One with offensive and the other with defensive capabilities.
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?
Curtis
You thi.. yeah, it was, um, but you know what, you recognized it.
Yeah, 'cause I... I'm tryin'... tryin' to work on it.
Curtis
I don't believe it.
Really? Oliver can't go after Chase himself, so he finds guys who can.
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.
Curtis
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.
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]
Curtis
The fact that she was not padding it... I mean, that's extremely Digg-like. You see the...
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.]
Curtis
We have to move right now.
Curtis
Yes! This... is "Maximum Force". It's vintage. We can not let anything happen to this.
I'm more worried about something happening to me.
[Oliver, Lyla and Dinah are investigating the death of an ARGUS agent killed in an elevator.]
[using his radio] Felicity, Curtis, we have a camera.
Curtis
Roger, Roger. We have clearance, Clarence. What's our vector, Victor?
Curtis
What's next from my favorite power couple?
Curtis
Yeah. I thought that you and Oliver... You guys aren't hooking up again?
Oh no, no, God no! Why would you even think that?
Curtis
Well because every time I come by, you guys are in the middle of exchanging longing looks for each other.
Curtis
Oh Felicity.
We look nothing like that.
Curtis
Oh, how I wish I didn't break up with him.
Curtis
Oh we were so happy together.
Curtis
Look, I know that he hurt you by not telling you about his son, but–
It's not about William. It's about what William represents.
Curtis
Oliver having sex with another woman.
No. But thank you for that visual. William is symptomatic of a larger problem between Oliver and I.
Curtis
That being?
Curtis
Right, your man who put his life in your hands a couple of thousands of times.
Trusting me as Overwatch is one thing, but we're talking about his son, Curtis. His child! Oliver doesn't trust me enough to share important information, and crucial information, with me. What's the point of being in a relationship at all?
Curtis
I'm not gonna say that Oliver Queen plays great with others.
Curtis
But he can still change that about himself. You know what he can't change?
Curtis
That way he looks at you. You both owe it to each other to see, Felicity.
Gotta say, this team is never boring. I didn't think I'd be doing this when I woke up this morning.
Curtis
Oliver and Felicity might suffocate! How can you be so glib?
You've met me, right? And how come your toy balls can't float down here and do this for us?
Curtis
For the 1000th time Rene, they're called T-Spheres! But if you want, call them by their proper name.
Curtis
Kodo and Podo. You know, Dar's thieving little ferrets on The Beastmaster. Let's just say, a young Marc Singer was quite helpful in me discovering my homosexuality.
And my heterosexuality. On an open channel by the way.
Curtis
Look, I can't get my T-Spheres because they are in the bunker, and therefore fried. So, whatever.
I swear those two are going to make the cutest couple one day.
So we had to move off the Sampson stakeout?
Yes. Because John and you were reenacting the paleo version of my favorite scene from Witness.
Curtis
[off Oliver's look] Harrison Ford almost getting buried under the corn in the barn silo.
Ah, that's the one. [She and Curtis fist bump.]
Oh, right. And for those of us who haven't seen every movie ever, they mean it was a trap.
Curtis
Who hasn't seen Witness?
[At Oliver's surprise birthday party]
I love the cake. Where did you get it?
How 'bout the number "six"? Is that for the number of members of the team?
Curtis
It's cool.
Actually, I ordered the cake for a six-year-old, because I wasn't sure that I could order a Green Arrow cake for a grown man.
Curtis
Well, hey, Oliver's a child at heart, right? [off Oliver's look] That is the concussion talking, yep. For sure.
I'm really sorry about that, Curtis.
Curtis
Well, it's okay. But you should know, that if I had my T-spheres, I would have....
Curtis
[chagrined] ... Would have still been on the floor.
[to Malcolm] Get them to the plane, make sure that everyone stays safe. [hands Curtis communicators] Comms. Just in case something goes wrong.
Curtis
You mean "When", right?
[handing Felicity a computer tablet] It's detailed satellite imagery of the island. Again, just in case.
[Felicity kisses Oliver.]
We're gonna make it through this.
You can't know that for sure. I didn't want to regret not kissing you. When it comes to the two of us, I regret enough as it is.
[smiling] Let's talk more about this when we're off the island. [hugs Felicity]
Curtis
This could destroy our whole lives.
It's hard to think that before, my biggest worry was getting a new job. And now, it's about whether or not we'll end up in jail.
Curtis
I thought you were sitting pretty from your Palmer Tech settlement.
Uh, yeah, from, like, a year ago.
Curtis
What are you gonna do? Assuming that we're all not in jail?
I mean, I'd definitely rather go to Iron Heights than work at Tech Village again. That place was horrendous. What about you? I mean, you've been out of a job as long as I have.
Curtis
Not really. I've been doing some free-lance coding in my spare time.
You what? What? What spare time?
Curtis
Yeah. Tell me about it. Barely any. But I did not take a dime from Paul in the divorce, and a man's gotta eat.
So you, like, just had a secret job this whole time, you didn't tell anyone about it?
Curtis
I thought we all, like, had, like, secret jobs.
Curtis
Except for John, maybe. What does he do for money? That's something that's been perplexing me.
Well, he's... he's married to the director of A.R.G.U.S.
Curtis
Ah, yeah, that's right.... She doesn't make a lot of money.
