Black Siren quotes from Arrow

Black Siren

I don't know anything about changing timelines, but I am something of an expert on vengeance, and getting it... it doesn't do anything but cause you more pain.

Mia

So, what, you're an expert on talking people out of murder?

Black Siren

Kind of. I had to when Felicity wanted to take down Ricardo Diaz.

Mia

My mom tried to kill someone?

Black Siren

No. Because I talked her out of it. And, look, I get it; you and your mom, you're both women who won't allow themselves to be talked out of anything, and I appreciate that. But Felicity, she never regretted changing her approach. So maybe you should try doing things differently, too.

Dinah

Hey. If you want me to stop training Zoe, I will.

Rene

Nah. I can't keep her in a bubble, just like you can't stop being a cop and I can't stop running for office.

Black Siren

So don't. Not all of the future was bad, right? Just do the good stuff.

Dinah

Come on. I mean, the Canary Network's not a bad idea. Could be useful.

Rene

Then why wait for a future we can start making right now?

Black Siren

You must be the Monitor.

Monitor

How do you know?

Black Siren

Because no human would actually wear something so ridiculous.

Monitor

You ache for the world you lost, and I possess the power to restore it.

Black Siren

You can bring back my Earth.

Monitor

The recovery of your universe would require a single task.

Black Siren

What kind of task?

Monitor

You must betray Oliver Queen.

Anatoly

Oh, Laurel, there's something I want to say.

Black Siren

What? One last hilarious Russian joke for the road?

Anatoly

Sorry to doubt you. I guess leopard really can change spots. Or in your case, bird, feather.

Black Siren

I thought you said you weren't sentimental.

Anatoly

Maybe I change, too, like you.

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.

Black Siren

Why would the Monitor let me see Quentin one last time?

Oliver

It was a reward, for not betraying me.

Black Siren

Didn't really think rewards were his brand.

Oliver

No. We were wrong about him.

Black Siren

And Lyla was right? That's annoying. So why did you have to learn to let Lance go?

Oliver

Because deep down, I still believed that I could fight my fate. Now I know I can't.

Oliver

You know, I, uh... I never expected to be on a mission with you like this, you know. I'm glad you're here.

Black Siren

No offense, but shouldn't this Kodak moment be with you and someone else?

Oliver

What?

Black Siren

You and Mia.

Oliver

Oh. Trying to give her a little space.

Black Siren

Sure you're not trying to avoid a difficult conversation?

Oliver

I'm pretty sure she doesn't want to talk to me, Laurel.

Black Siren

Oliver, don't be an idiot, okay? All that girl wants to do is live up to her father.

Oliver

Fine. All this father wants is to complete this mission so that my kids actually have a world to live in. We are almost there. Come on.

Black Siren

Oliver. A piece of advice. Don't leave this island with more regrets than you already have buried here.
