Did you even bother to listen yourself in court? You spoke from your heart. Yeah, big surprise, by the way, you do have one. You said the hardest thing to do was to be a hero when no one expects you to be; the easier path is to be a criminal.
You know, you've been telling people for six months now you've changed. It wasn't until I saw you in that courtroom that I actually believed it. Do not throw that away just because it's getting hard now.
Yeah. Of course I'm angry. You threaten my life, but I don't like apologies. You cannot take away mistake by wishing it so. In my line of work, you make choice, you do not look back.
Well, then you embrace demons. No more half measures. When I work with Oliver in Russia, he was not villain, but he did what needed to be done. You remind of him then.
But the old Green Arrow, he wasn't the best. He saw the world in black and white, but now you - you know there's gray out there, too. Maybe that makes you a better hero.
This is me, Oliver, not because I was influenced by Laurel or Anatoly. This is me because of you. You were the one that decided all on your own that you were going to sacrifice yourself, leaving your son and your wife alone at home as sitting ducks for Diaz. And the best part of the whole thing is that you didn't even ask how you felt about it.
What am I supposed to do with an apology, Oliver? I'm just supposed to move on? While you were gone, I had to figure out how to survive. And I am glad that I did because the old me, she was weak.
This event is messed up. Rich folk and politicians fronting like they don't care about prison reform. If everybody in here gave a crap, they'd use that money to help people in hard-up neighborhoods and who end up in the system because they don't have anything else. What?
Felicity is dead. And before that, she had a plan to blow up an entire city. So I'm not sire exactly why I'm supposed to care about what happened to her. I'm just sorry I dragged you all into this.
You were already gone. It was right before everything. It symbolizes the 4 pillars of heroism - courage, compassion, selflessness, and loyalty. We all got them as a reminder that no matter what happened, if one of us was in trouble, the other ones would be there. That's why Roy came with you back to Star City. He saw the symbol written on the inside of your father's bow.
The world is not a fair place. Innocent people die while the guilty go free. The system is broken, filled with corruption, greed, and apathy. The people who are supposed to protect us are failing us. Criminals continue to walk the streets because no one is willing to stop them. The world may not be fair, but everyone deserves justice and someone looking out for them.
