From what Dinah tells me, there's not much need for vigilantes anymore.
Lance's term ends in April. He's endorsing me to replace him.
As Mayor?
No, as "Bald Guy with an Attitude". Yeah, as Mayor.

It's about Oliver. Not exactly him, but who his sacrifice brought back.
Like me.
And Tommy. Moira. But not me. The other me. Your Laurel.
Look, we don't exactly know the rules of this whole resurrection thing.
Yes, we do. You're all of the people who Oliver would've wanted his sacrifice to bring back. And Laurel, she ... She would have been on that list, too... if it wasn't for me. Oliver's death, it fixed everything else. Why didn't it fix this, too?
Because, sweetheart, there is nothing about you that needed to be fixed.
Prochnost.
Ugh. I didn't know you spoke Russian.
No. That's what Oliver used to say every time he drank this stuff.
What exactly is this stuff?
Vodka.
Yeah. It tastes like turpentine.
With faint hints of nail polish remover.
So what's the plan?
I plan on getting as drunk as humanly possible.

For a long time, I hated Oliver Queen. I blamed him for the death of my youngest daughter, I blamed him for the violence in my city, I interrogated him, I hunted him, persecuted him. I've never been more wrong in my life. Oliver Queen wasn't just a hero. He was a good man. He was an honorable person. The fact that he didn't start out that way makes him, in my book, even more honorable. He stands as a reminder to all of us that anyone can change. So will this. [unveils a bronze statue of Oliver as Green Arrow]
[speaking at Oliver's funeral] The Oliver that I met eight years ago is not the one that we say goodbye to today. Oliver always told me that in order to save his city, he had to become someone else, he had to become something else. I always thought that meant becoming the Green Arrow, but ... Today I realized that meant becoming a better man, the best man he knew how to be, and he took all of us with him on that journey. He changed everything. Oliver brought heroes into the world, he inspired heroes, he inspired all of us here. I was his brother and Oliver Queen was mine. Of course, life will go on. It always does. But how, what twists and turns it will take, I can't say. I don't know what the future holds, except to say expect the unexpected. Oliver may be gone, but his mission endures. That mission lives on, Oliver lives on in the people he inspired. Some will take that mission to the rest of the world, maybe even beyond that. Because if the past 8 years has shown us anything, it's that this universe is far bigger than any of us could've dared imagine, even if it is a little less bright without him in it.

My name is Oliver Queen. For five years, I was stranded on an island with only one goal: survive. Now I will fulfill my father's dying wish - to use the list of names he left me and bring down those who are poisoning my city. To do this, I must become someone else. I must become something else.

Opening voiceover
My name is Oliver Queen. For seven years I have fought with only one goal: to save my city. But now a new threat has emerged. A danger so severe that it has forced me to leave my family in order to face it. And it won't be enough for me to just be the Green Arrow. To prevent the crisis that's coming, I'm gonna have to become someone else. I'm gonna have to become something else.
