[Oliver is shooting tennis balls with his arrows]
Where's Felicity with the list of potential targets?
She's working on it, it's a big city.
Yeah.
Something tells me it's not the only thing weighing on you.
How are the recruits?
Taking a little time out.
I expected them to be upset with me, and that's fine, but John, they seemed horrified.
I wouldn't call it that, just a bit surprised. Look on the bright side, it does show how far you've come. I haven't seen that guy in a long time. And the way the kids reacted, I think it proves how much you've changed.
Except I haven't. I killed Damien Dahrk, and I haven't stopped since. [shoots a tennis ball]
Yeah well, don't forget who you're talking to man. I know firsthand what it's like to be a murderer. I know the difference between a good kill and one made out of pure rage. You killed Damien Dahrk, Oliver, because you had to. You took down Church's men because you had to. The list was something different. You were targeting lawyers, stockbrokers. You were killing as a first resort, not a last.
Now Prometheus is just dredging all that up again. I want to move forward. I'm trying to move forward. But I... [takes a deep breath] I feel stuck.
I think you're being hard on yourself, which is a bit annoying 'cause it's usually mine and Felicity's job. But Oliver, in that official capacity, I think you are moving forward. I think you're evolving. I think you're growing.
What makes you so sure?
Because that guy with the list wouldn't have even thought to ask the question.
