Oliver in “Unfinished Business”

Oliver

Stop! Stop! Please! I know what you're feeling right now. I'm feeling it, too: a sense of helplessness, of hopelessness. I don't know how we even begin to process what might happen to us right now. But there are a few things that I do know. I know that this city has been through tough times before, and we have pulled through. We survived the Undertaking. We survived the Siege. We survived the Outbreak. And somehow, some way, we will survive this. A friend of mine told me that living in Star City takes a special kind of tenacity. But we do live here. Because this is our home. This. Is. Our. Home. It is our friend, our family, our lives. And we will not, we will not throw those precious gifts away by descending into chaos. We will look to each other for hope. We will cling to each other for strength. And if we do that, no matter what happens, we can all stand here united.
