Arrow quotes

Felicity

But there is one thing I need to ask you to do. And you're not going to want to.

Oliver

Well, if it's you asking, I'll do it.

Felicity

Kill him. You have to kill Ra's al Ghul. This is a duel... Oliver, with one of the most dangerous men that has ever walked the Earth.

Oliver

I wouldn't be doing it if I didn't think I can win.

Felicity

I don't doubt that. I don't doubt that you can beat him. I am terrified that you won't kill him. Because that's not who you are anymore. And I am so afraid that Ra's al Ghul will use your humanity against you.

Oliver

Felicity, I honestly don't know if I'm a killer anymore. But I do know two things - the first is that whoever I am, I am someone who will do whatever - whatever - it takes to save my sister.

Felicity

And the second thing?

Oliver

I love you.

I was 11 years old when I killed my first man. I remember the look in his face when the light went out behind his eyes. Such a sudden change, almost imperceptible, between life and death. And I felt ashamed. I had stolen from that man the most precious gift of all - life. But I also felt something else - pride, because I had taken up arms against someone who sought to do ill against my family. And I realized what I had done was necessary. You see... I had replaced evil with death. And that... is what the League exists to do. And I have killed several thousand more men since then. And the world is better for it.

Oliver

You've taken your last life.

No. . . . You have lived your last day.

You should take pride. You survived longer than most. [Oliver makes one final attack, catching Ra's arm and nearly overpowering him. However, Ra's counters and incapacitates Oliver with a blow to the throat.] Don't be afraid, my son. Death comes for us all. We can only evade it so long. Consider this an honorable exit. [stabs Oliver through the chest, speaks in Arabic] Forgive and have mercy upon him... Excuse him and pardon him... Make honorable his reception... Protect him from the punishment of the grave... And the torment of fire.

Ms. Smoak is correct. I orchestrated the matter to eliminate the death warrant Ra's placed on my head. Oliver was that way. His death means my own.

Felicity

[coldy] Good!

Diggle

He's not coming back. Oliver. I know you don't want to believe it, Laurel, God knows I don't but, he's not coming back.

Laurel

Are you? Are you coming back?

Diggle

I don't know. For the first time since I met Oliver Queen I don't know what happens next. I know it's silly, but I still like to think of myself as Oliver's bodyguard. I just couldn't protect him. It's funny. He was worried something would happen to me.

Diggle

OK. The point is, if we're going to do this without Oliver, Felicity, we have to trust each other.

Felicity

You don't get it. There is no 'this' without him. It's done. I'm done.

Ray

You make it sound like using an advanced exoskeleton to fight crime and save the city is a Looney Tunes idea.

Thea

Dad, I could have killed you.

Heh. It’s cute that you think so.

Felicity

And by help, you mean money and counsel, and not a suit powered by... dwarf star alloy that fires lasers at people?

Ray

Well, they aren't lasers. That would be ridiculous. They're compressed hard light beams.

Ray

[to Felicity] See? That's why I need a technosuit.

Diggle

Sometimes, me and Oliver come down here after, you know, tough nights. He would pour this, look up and say "Prochnost."

Roy

What does that mean?

Diggle

I have no earthly idea. To Oliver.

Roy

To Oliver.

Ray

I gotta be honest, I'd feel a little more confident in your aeronautic abilities if you knew, for instance, that helicopters don't actually have keys.

Felicity

They don't have keys?

Ray

No.

Felicity

Is it on the roof?

Ray

Yeah, it's on the roof.

Ray

I thought you weren't gonna help with my suicide mission.

Felicity

Well, that's the thing. With my help, you might not wind up dead.

Looks like we got ourselves a real live superhero here. You that red streak I've been hearing about on TV?

Wrong city.

Quentin

It doesn't mean I can't help the Hood Squad off the books.

Felicity

We call ourselves Team Arrow. Well, actually, that's just me, but...

Quentin

I just got everything we have on Brick from evidence lockup.

Felicity

Okay. I'll send Arsenal over once the next brushfire's put out.

Quentin

Arsenal? What, are you guys just pulling names out of a hat now?
