Black Siren quotes from Arrow

Black Siren

Nice outfit. Except for I would have gone with fishnets.

Black Siren

I've known a lot of bad men, and they've been filled with anger and with hate. But not Diaz. He's not filled with anger inside because he's not even human inside. I watched him burn a man alive over a childhood grudge. If I cross him... what is he gonna do to me?

Black Siren

So tell me, what happened between you and Oliver? Did he find someone else? Were you not tall enough? [pause] Do you have a sister? Because I hear he loves sisters.

Felicity

Oliver seems to think that because you look like Laurel, that you can become her.

Black Siren

And what do you think?

Felicity

I think you should get used to living in cages. There's a part of him that blames himself for Laurel's death. It's who he is. So when he looks at you, he doesn't just see Laurel, he sees a shot at redemption.

Black Siren

Wow it must be really frustrating... that he doesn't listen to you.

Felicity

No, I'm used to it.

Quentin

Don't move! I said, "Don't move".

Black Siren

Well, this feels familiar. Maybe this time you'll... aim for the heart?

Quentin

I'm sorry.

Black Siren

For shooting me or for leaving me for dead?

Quentin

You were trying to hurt my friend.

Black Siren

Oh, so, so you choose your friend over your own daughter?

Quentin

[cocks the hammer on his gun] Don't make me do this, Laurel. Please don't make me do this.

Black Siren

So now I'm Laurel. [walks right up beside Quentin, who lowers his gun.] Don't torture yourself. Because if we were back on Lian Yu, and the roles were reversed... [whispering] I would have pulled the trigger. [walks off, while Quentin simply stays where he is.]

Black Siren

When you had me raid their bunker and plant that mini-cam two months ago...

Cayden

Is this the outcome I had in mind? Quite so, Miss Lance. Although I must confess, things have worked out even better than I anticipated.

Anatoly

[entering] Hardly impressive. Left to his own devices, Oliver Queen will always push away those closest to him.

Vincent

So, we've got 'em fighting with each other instead of fighting us.

Ricardo Diaz

Please tell me that isn't your whole master plan.

Cayden

Oh, not at all, Mr. Diaz. In fact, I think it fair to say that this... is only the beginning.

Black Siren

I'm not like Sobel. I'm not gonna change, I'm not gonna just wake up one day and be your Laurel.

Quentin

No, no. You'll always be you. But you can be better.

Black Siren

Why would I? We live in an ugly world, and the only way to survive is... is to be ugly right back.

Quentin

You've done some pretty unspeakable things. Have you ever stopped to ask yourself why? Basically, you grew up without a father. My guess, you spent your whole life looking for one. Zoom. Adrian Chase. Cayden James. All those men are gone now. Including Cayden James. He was killed last night.

Black Siren

Well, it looks like I have an opening for a new domineering father figure. Feel free to send in your application.

Anatoly

Is it "Laurel" or "Laurel" these days? So confusing, this doppelganger business. But you seem to figure it out.

Black Siren

Diaz killed Cayden.

Anatoly

He told me. No honor among thieves. Or crime lords, I guess. Oh, well.

Black Siren

Diaz manipulated the both of us. Lied to the both of us. This whole time, he's had his own agenda. That doesn't bother you?

Anatoly

I'm not sentimental. I'm Russian. I'm in this city for two reasons only. One... is revenge... against Oliver Queen. And two is money. I'm happy to work with whoever can get me either.

Black Siren

You're in this city because the Bratva cast you out.

Anatoly

Well, there's that, too.

Diaz

Patience. It's one of the most important virtues a person can have.

Black Siren

Meaning?

Diaz

If you think short-term, you're gonna drift moment to moment. You want something big, something truly remarkable? You gotta think long-term.

Honey! Ease up. It's a thirty-year-old single malt.

Black Siren

Call me "Honey" again, and I might only break your legs. [samples the scotch, then sets both glasses down and walks away]

[whisper to Diaz] I like this one.

Black Siren

So, the whole plan of yours has gotten a little complicated.

Diaz

Anything worth wanting shouldn't be simple.

Black Siren

Hmm. Not my philosophy. Plans are like men. It's best to avoid the complicated ones.

Diaz

Aw, shucks. You think I'm not complicated.

Black Siren

Back at that bar, you were talking about Jerry like he's still haunting you

Diaz

"Jesse". It's "Jesse". And he does. Little bastard was right. "You're a loser."

Black Siren

Well, not anymore. Hey! Now... you're a king. Forget about him.

Diaz

I can't. I was afraid of Jesse for so long that all I had was my fear. So I... I named that fear... the Dragon.

Black Siren

That's cute.

Diaz

I lived with the Dragon for so long. It's all I had. Now being a part of the Quadrant, I'm gonna have something else: the type of power where I'll never be nothing again.

Black Siren

You remind me of the guy that brought me here, to this Earth. He... he had so much hate inside of him. Took control over him.

Diaz

I control the Dragon. It doesn't control me.

Quentin

Not for nothing, but apart from your face, there's one thing you got in common with my Laurel.

Black Siren

And what's that?

Quentin

Neither of you would let somebody else tell you what to do or have you running scared.

Black Siren

You think your Laurel would stand up to Diaz.

Quentin

I know it.

Black Siren

Well, maybe, if she were a little smarter, she wouldn't have gotten herself killed.

Black Siren

Thank you for coming.

Sara

[slightly emotional] How is he?

Black Siren

In surgery. The doctors, they're optimistic, but... but I thought you should really be here.

Sara

Thank you.

Black Siren

This is probably really strange for you, right?

Sara

A little. Are you, um... are you like my Laurel?

Black Siren

[shakes her head] Hardly at all.

Black Siren

Isn't baby-sitting a little below your pay grade?

Dinah

Way below, but the SCPD is going to keep you safe, whether you want us to or not.

Black Siren

OK, fine, whatever. Suit yourself. You might as well make yourself useful while you're here and go get me a coffee. Two sugars, no cream.

Dinah

That's never happening.
