Ra's and Felicity in “Unfinished Business”

You have a great fire within you. I can see now why Oliver loves you.

Felicity

If you knew the first thing about love, you would not be ripping Oliver away from his family.

I am merely helping him fulfill his destiny.

Felicity

Yeah, I know all about the "survive my sword" prophecy, and I'm here to tell you that I could really give a crap. Me and John, and God help me, Malcolm, are not going to let this happen. And we have friends, and we have resources, and we will go to war to get Oliver back.

You know, many lifetimes ago, I loved a woman immeasurably. And she loved me. And we had a son, and then a daughter. And for many years, I felt I was the most fortunate man in the world. My life was bliss. And one night, a man came to my door and he gave me a horrible choice: to leave without saying a word to them, or to stand and watch them tortured and then killed. And I left without a farewell. And to spare them pain, I endured an agony worse than death.

Felicity

Sounds like you gave up too easily.

If there's one immutable truth about life, it is often more cruel than it is fair, and rarely provides an opportunity for any of us to find closure. And all your posturing and all your threats of war will merely delay the inevitable, and causing you to forfeit you the opportunity you have… that was denied me. You need to tell Oliver goodbye. Tell him how much you love him. Tell him whatever it is your heart needs to express. And do it now. Before he is lost to you forever.
