Felicity and Oliver in “Unfinished Business”

Felicity

For the past four years, I have watched you do whatever you had to, whatever it took to stop the people threatening this city. How can you stand there and not ask me to do the same thing?

Oliver

Because, over the past four years, you, more than anyone else, have seen the toll that it has taken on me.

Felicity

And I told you--

Oliver

-- Yes, I under... I understand. I agree, that I should not shelter you from making hard decisions. But you want to talk irony? Fine. You were willing to sell your soul to destroy a threat that I created. [stumbles over his next words]

Felicity

One of the reasons I fell in love with you was you were always willing to do what was right. No matter what the cost. Even if it's unbearably hard. It's what makes you you. So how can I be any different? You have sacrificed your soul, for the team, for the city, and for me. You don't... have to carry that burden any longer. Let me do it.

Oliver

Felicity, I'm.... I can't.

Felicity

Then you'll have to stop me.
