Quentin Lance quotes from Arrow

Oliver

We've had this exact conversation already.

Quentin

What are you talking about?

Oliver

Fully aware how this is going to sound. Quinton, I'm trapped in some sort of... time loop, where the same events keep repeating themselves.

Quentin

Like Groundhog Day.

Oliver

Sure. Except this one ends with a lot of people dead, including the two of us.

Quentin

So you're telling me we're-we're in some kind of a alternate reality based on the plot of a Bill Murray movie?

Black Siren

Well, I was gonna go with a Tom Cruise flick, but basically. Also just really glad that you believe me.

Quentin

Well, it's not the craziest thing you ever told me.

Quentin

You know, getting hunted like this in a space like this is kind of like what I was doing to you all those years ago. Remember? Sort of makes sense I'd go out like this now, don't you think?

Oliver

Would you please just save your strength?

Quentin

For what? Oliver, you take care of these guys, there'll be more behind them, there will be more behind them. There is no saving me from this! Okay? You ever think that's the point? Maybe you're not supposed to.

Oliver

I'm not giving up. And you're not giving up, either.

Quentin

Oh, no, no, no. I'm not giving up. Maybe I'm giving in. You see, I've been outrunning death for a while now. The siege, the island, but when Diaz shot me, that felt different, like I was finally at the end, and I made my peace with that. And maybe it's time you did, too.

Oliver

What made you decide that I wasn't your enemy anymore? What changed your mind?

Quentin

Heh. Oh, you know, my daughters, for one. Because I didn't raise dummies, and, uh, you know, if they were okay with you, then I figured I should be, too. Yeah.

Oliver

They trusted me, and you trusted them.

Quentin

Yeah. They got me to listen to what I always knew in my gut, that we were on the same side, and fighting for the same goal, and it just took me a while to get there. Sorry.
