Sebastian Blood quotes from Arrow

Sebastian Blood

Sooner or later, we all go through a crucible. I'm guessing yours was that island. Most believe there are two types of people who go into a crucible. The ones who become stronger from the experience and survive it, and the ones who die. But there's a third type. The ones who learn to love the fire and choose to stay in their crucible because it's easier to embrace the pain when it's all you know anymore.

Brother Cyrus told me he killed you.

Arrow

Guess he's not as strong as you'd hoped. Where did you get the Mirakuru? Who gave you the formula?

Blood

It was a gift. A gift I would use to save this city from itself.

Slade

So your campaign begins.

Blood

The city needs a leader. And putting the copycat hoods up to assassinating the mayor was just the first step. The vigilante... he destroyed the centrifuge and the serum along with it.

Slade

I will arrange for you to receive another sample of my blood, and then you can mass produce the serum again. When I ask you not to confront the vigilante, you will listen. Remember, your mask can be worn by another.

Blood

You know who he is under that hood, don't you?

Slade

I know exactly who is. He's my friend.

Blood

That's why you don't want him dead.

Slade

Death would be a release from this life, and his sentence has yet to be carried out. I'm going to tear everything he cares about away from him. Destroy those who choose to follow him. Corrupt those he loves. Once he has lost everyone and everything he values, I will drive an arrow through his eye.

Blood

As a young boy, I was plagued by nightmares. Every night, I would wake up in a cold sweat, frightened and alone. It was my father's face that haunted me. [Shows his mask] And this is how I saw him. The embodiment of desperation and despair. I made this mask to conquer my fears. And to remind myself why I fight, every day, to give this city's most desperate a chance. All I ever wanted to do was help people, Oliver.

Oliver

Help me believe. Where's the cure?

Blood

Slade Wilson will not rest until he honors the promise that he made you.

Oliver

I won't be so easy to kill once we level the playing field.

Blood

He's not interested in killing you. Not until he's taken away everything and everyone you love.

Oliver

After he murdered my mother, he said one more person had to die.

Blood

Whoever you love the most.
