Curtis Holt quotes from Arrow

Diggle

[to the team] Let's move out. [leaves to get ready]

Curtis

Did he forget to say "Suit up"? Or was "Let's move", like, his version of "Suit up"? Because personally, I like "Let's suit up", 'cause then it just lets you know that you--

[together] Go suit up, Curtis!

Curtis

Yeah, go suit up. [Leaves to go suit up.]

Curtis

You know, I might not be able to figure out where she's (Black Siren) headed, but I might be able to figure out where she was. Now sonic cries leave ripples in the air. I might be able to back trace where Laurel's been and maybe even find out a pattern. Maybe even determine where she's operating out of.

Diggle

I heard two "mights" and two "maybes", but I'll take it.

Felicity

We have a problem. We have a massively huge problem. And considering it's in the same week Oliver's been arrested--

Diggle

What is it?

Felicity

The nanothermite when combined with the explosive creates a thermobaric weapon.

Diggle

What's a thermobaric weapon?

Felicity

It... disperses what is essentially a cloud of fire, and then pressure cooks everything within two hundred yards.

Curtis

I'm guessing we've given up hope that Cayden James has to cook a lot of turkeys for Thanksgiving.

Felicity

Got it. Maximum damage for a thermobaric bomb is Starling Stadium.

Rene

Today's Thanksgiving!

Curtis

Yeah, we just covered that when we talked about ordering turkey burgers.

Rene

I'm saying Billy Joel's playing there tonight. Sold-out crowd. [off the others' looks] I happen to like a wide variety of music, and The Stranger is a treasured piece of rock-and-roll history, yeah.

Rene

Hey, man, new Team Arrow's kickin' ass.

Curtis

You know what? I really have to say that we should change our name. Like, what do you guys think of "The Outsiders"?

Dinah

Ooo, ah, I think it was a really awesome book.

Rene

Officers marching. Guns out. City under siege. It's like Escape from Detroit.

Curtis

I don't know whether to correct you, or to just embrace your attempt to reference one of my favorite John Carpenter films.

Rene

Huh?

Dinah

I think the point is that people are scared. It's not good.

Oliver

[approaching with Diggle] They should be scared. That's why they need us.

Curtis

When you say "us", do you mean just you and it's a passive dig at our team --[to Diggle] No pun intended -- or do you mean all of us and you recognize our own team as being independent --

Diggle

Curtis, we got your message. Thanks for reaching out.

Felicity

Cayden sure has a lot of junk in his server for someone who's as Type A as you say he is.

Alena

Well, brilliant people are often slobs. Or so I tell myself. And my dates.

Curtis

Showoff. I can't even get a date.

Rene

I knew this would happen.

Curtis

What?

Rene

We work with Oliver, we get in trouble. The guy's a walking deathtrap.

Anatoly

[jumps out and tackles Curtis, putting him in a stranglehold.] Who do you think taught him about that?

Dinah

I know I'm the last person who should be giving you relationship advice.

Curtis

Yet, you're about to give me some.

Dinah

It's more of a life philosophy. Just live in the moment. Because you can only see the stuff that's ahead of you, you don't know what's at the end of the road.

Dinah

What'd you find?

Curtis

How Stent's been making his money. And it's not from defrauding pensions. He's been peddling black-market arms.

Rene

What kind of dumbass leaves his entire criminal enterprise online?

Curtis

He was actually pretty smart about it. Kept himself clean, off the radar, activities washed through a series of shell corporations. I just happen to be smarter. Boo-yah.

Rene

Back in town a week and you're already sneaking out of A.R.G.U.S. behind Papa Dig's back? I'm so proud.

Felicity

[fist bumping] Thanks, man.

Curtis

Don't encourage her.

I read through your mission report on the Switzerland op. Director Michaels signed off, but I noticed a few abnormalities.

Diggle

Sir, if this is regarding the 23 minutes of unaccounted time in our field log, it's because we took a pit stop... for chocolate.

Curtis

When in Rome, right? [offering the box of chocolates] Do you want some? You should have some.

Actually, I'm diabetic.

Curtis

[withdrawing it] Oh, okay. Don't have some.

Black Siren

We planted a tracker on the Silencer's belt. Obviously, Diaz must have found it and is using it as bait against us.

Dinah

How did you manage that? You were nowhere near the Silencer at the CDC.

Curtis

That thing at the CDC was you guys?

Rene

Uh, Felicity wasn't near her. I was. We snuck her out together.

Dinah

So you two captured the Silencer?

Rene

But Felicity and Laurel were the ones that tortured her.

Black Siren

Actually, I convinced her not to. You're welcome.

Diggle

[to Felicity] So now you're working with Laurel?

Black Siren

I'm standing right here.

Dinah

To be fair, she did help shut down that illegal psychiatric program at Slabside.

Rene

Wait. Hold on a sec. You're gonna give me crap about working with the new Green Arrow, and meanwhile, you're siding with the Black frickin' Siren?

Black Siren

Again, still here.

Curtis

Look, I know these are bad people, but what we're doing is inhumane.

Diggle

Curtis, restoring the program is the only way we can get Dante without A.R.G.U.S. oversight.

Curtis

And that makes it right? How can you be okay with that?

Diggle

I'm not. I'm not. We are fighting evil that most people don't even know exists. And sometimes that means making very difficult decisions, Curtis. The bombs are just a failsafe. That's all.

Curtis

There has to be a better way.

Diggle

I wish there were.

Diaz

This is the Dragon. A.R.G.U.S. is coming for you.

Curtis

And we'll be sure to send him your regards when we do. [Diaz stops his van] What's the matter? You look like you've heard a ghost.

Diaz

What the hell just happened?

Curtis

Well, first, I overrode the explosive program A.R.G.U.S. put inside your head with a virtual reality simulation that started running about twenty minutes before you remembered getting your sedative. Then I owned your ass.

Diaz

You're dead.

Curtis

No. See, that all happened in your head, too. By the way, harsh.
