Arrow quotes

Diggle

Stall all you want. Eventually you're gonna break. And when you do, I'll be right here. Last chance before I bring her in. [it's revealed he's talking to JJ] Did you or did you not eat this entire box of cookies?

Lyla

[entering] It's okay, honey. You just got a little hungry, didn't you? Now you have a tummyache. Well, now we know what happens when we eat too much sugar, right? [JJ nods] Come on, let's go say hi to Ella. She has lots of fun stuff planned while dad and I are out of town.

Diggle

I was working on him for twenty minutes, and you get him to confess in fifteen seconds?

Lyla

I'm his mother, and your boss. We leave in five.

Oliver

We had a deal!

A deal that means nothing now that Brick got what he wanted. With Yorke gone, we're finally free to have some fun. Brick's got a game going on right now in the mess hall. All thanks to you.

First rule of prison, trust no one.

Ah. The kid's right. Now, how'd he manage to figure that out before you did?

This is quite the setup.

Felicity

Yeah, the CDC takes their security a lot more seriously than the FBI. No offense.

None taken. You thought about getting into cyber security? Legally?

Felicity

I haven't done "legally" in a very long time.

What scared you off, all that nasty due process?

Felicity

You mean the rolls and rolls of red tape? No, I just prefer to spend my time actually catching criminals.

I know the law isn't perfect.

Felicity

If it were, Diaz would be in prison, William would be at home, and I wouldn't jump five feet every time I hear a door slam, but here we are.

Lyla

You followed me?

Diggle

Well, I wouldn't have had to if you had told me the real reason why we're in Zurich, Lyla.

Lyla

It's not what it looks like.

Diggle

Really? That's good. That's good, because it looks like you just handed over sensitive A.R.G.U.S. intel to a criminal.

Lyla

I thought you'd have a little more faith in me than that.

Diggle

I did until this very moment. Lyla, just... tell me what's going on. The truth.

Lyla

I caught wind of something. Money changing hands that's... bigger than anything we've been up against. I ran it up the chain, but kept getting stymied by the brass. Not enough evidence.

Diggle

What, so you're going behind A.R.G.U.S.'s back?

Lyla

Didn't expect judgment from someone who's spent so much time delivering justice in the shadows.

Diggle

Lyla, that's not what I'm saying. Listen to me. I just... I just can't believe you would hide this from me. After everything we've been through, I thought the one thing we agreed on is that there will be no more secrets between us.

Lyla

I was trying to protect you. I wasn't keeping secrets. You didn't want to take up Oliver's mantle, and I respect that. But being the Director of A.R.G.U.S. has shown me that there is far more evil in the world than people willing to fight it, and... I can't stand around anymore and just watch, Johnny. Sometimes you have to cross the line for the greater good. I would expect you to understand that.

Recidivism is the likelihood that a violent criminal offender will commit another violent crime when set free. That is what I'm trying to prevent, but I believe everyone here has a chance at redemption, even people like you.

Oliver

I don't need your help, and I don't need redemption.

You don't?

Oliver

[quietly] No.

How many people have you hurt besides the prisoners and guards you sent to the infirmary?

Oliver

I don't know.

How many people have you murdered? Hmm? Would you say you have violent tendencies?

Oliver

I would say I'm trying to protect my family.

Rene

Any luck?

Felicity

No. Actually think she might be enjoying herself. We're gonna need to turn up the heat.

Rene

Any hotter, she'll turn into soup.

Felicity

No, I meant turn up the stakes, do whatever it takes to make her give us the information.

Rene

You don't mean torture?

Felicity

I don't not mean it.

Rene

Felicity, you don't know what you're saying. Torturing someone is a line you do not want to cross. When the Navy discharged me for what I did to a prisoner, I learned the lesson about the cost to my humanity because I still have nightmares of what I did, even though I saved lives. So when Tobias Church tortured me for over twenty hours, it was the universe paying me back. That's evil for evil.

Felicity

I'm sorry about that. I am. Church broke you. You gave up Oliver's identity, Rene. It worked. She tried to kill Dinah and Laurel and us. Diaz hired her. He's not gonna stop coming after us until we are all dead.

Black Siren

How'd you get past my SCPD detail?

Felicity

You know I went to MIT, right? It's, like, Harvard for computer geeks, with an acceptance rate of 6.7%, so if I can get in there, I can get in... pretty much anywhere. Except for here, which is why I had to resort to saying that we were sorority sisters.

Black Siren

I used to be just like you.

Felicity

Well, that I find hard to believe.

Black Siren

On my Earth, I loved my father, and my Ollie, but they were taken away from me because they were murdered. It's when you lose the people who matter most, once you get through the grief, you get angry. You want revenge, and I took it. But the darkness... it swallows you the more you feed it, and digging yourself back out to the light, it's... it's really hard. In fact, I wish someone would have warned me before I got blood all over my hands the first time. Then maybe that way, I would have been more like your Laurel.

Felicity

I don't know what else to do.

Black Siren

We need to play the long-term game here. I need you to use that big brain of yours and think.

Hi, Roy. William.

William

Wh... what are you doing here?

I'm with the vigilante resistance. One of the few left fighting to save Star City.

Roy

Is your dad here, too?

My dad wouldn't be caught dead in Star City.

Dinah

This map shows secret routes in and out of the Glades. Where did you get this?

William

Felicity. She's the one who sent us to Star City.

Dinah

No, that's impossible. William, I'm so sorry to be the one to tell you this, but... Felicity Smoak is dead.

Dinah

Since when are you two friends?

Felicity

Well, we decided to start a support group for women who've been attacked by Diaz.

Black Siren

Or his assassins. Do you care to join?

Dinah

Uh, thanks, I'll pass, but, hey, maybe you should get back to witness protection and you should on back to Earth Two before you both remember you hate each other.

Talia

You've seen what happens to people who go into that room. They come out in body bags.

Oliver

Talia, we are doing this my way, or we're not doing it at all.

Talia

You'd risk both our lives to help these prisoners, despite knowing that every last one is a murderer or worse?

Oliver

These people are being treated like they are disposable. No one deserves that.

Talia

Tell me, did you feel that compassion when you rammed a sword through my father's chest?

Oliver

No, because back then, I still allowed the monster that you helped unleash take over.

Talia

Don't insinuate that my father's death was my fault.

Oliver

Look. I - Ra's' death was my fault. I couldn't see past what he intended to do to my city, so I didn't stop and think about his family, and for that, I am truly sorry. I know you hate me... But I was your student once, and we trusted each other completely. We need to find that trust again because it is the only way both of us will get what we want.

I read through your mission report on the Switzerland op. Director Michaels signed off, but I noticed a few abnormalities.

Diggle

Sir, if this is regarding the 23 minutes of unaccounted time in our field log, it's because we took a pit stop... for chocolate.

Curtis

When in Rome, right? [offering the box of chocolates] Do you want some? You should have some.

Actually, I'm diabetic.

Curtis

[withdrawing it] Oh, okay. Don't have some.

Black Siren

[on the phone] That doesn't make any sense. Mr. Queen has two hours of visitation left this month, so I suggest you get it straighted out, or I will have the U.S. Attorney so far up your ass that you'll have to turn to the left and cough.

Felicity

Whew! I mean, no offense to Black Siren, but I actually think you're scarier as an attorney.

Black Siren

Black Siren gets results.

I'm disappointed in you, 4587. It's always so unfortunate when a study doesn't work out. But this failure is especially painful.

Oliver

You're a monster.

We could have done such great things together, helped so many people.

Oliver

This isn't helping people!

I misjudged you. I thought after our work together, you were committed to breaking your family's cycle of violence.

Oliver

My father pushed people away. He kept secrets. And I made those same mistakes. But if I choose to break this cycle, I'm gonna do it my way.

I suggest you hold very still, 4587.

Oliver

My name... is Oliver Queen!

Anatoly

I play hero once before, and Diaz killed all of my brothers as punishment. Never again.

Felicity

Oliver was your brother, too, and he would want you to help us get Diaz.

Anatoly

Yeah, but Oliver tried to do the same thing. Look where he is now. No. Time for me to go somewhere nice, tropical. Maldives maybe.

Felicity

I think it's really hard to travel when you're on Homeland Security's most wanted list.

Anatoly

Yes, but I am not on no such... You are threatening me?

Felicity

Call it an enthusiastic suggestion. A couple minutes in Roslov's office, you download his hard drive, you'e on your way to the Maldives.

Anatoly

You're not Felicity Smoak I remember.
