Quotes 

• Oliver Queen : What?

  Thea Queen : Nothing. It's just... It's shocking that you know who Voldemort is.

  Oliver Queen : Well, I'm not immune to pop culture. I read a few of the "Harry Potter" books.

  John Diggle : Really? I was gonna bet Thea that you just saw the movies.

  Oliver Queen : They were movies?

• Felicity Smoak : Brie Larvan.

  Donna Smoak : You know this whackadoodle?

  Felicity Smoak : I had a run-in with her last year.

  Donna Smoak : If this Brie Larvan is coming for you, we need to get you out of here.

  Felicity Smoak : No, no, no. I don't think she knew who I was. She's after something else.

  Thea Queen : She said something about an implant.

  Felicity Smoak : A biostimulant microchip. There's only one working prototype.

  Thea Queen : Where is it?

  Felicity Smoak : In the base of my spine.

• Laurel Lance : What's wrong?

  Thea Queen : Alex has a new job interview... With Ruve Darhk.

  Oliver Queen : What?

  Thea Queen : She's looking for a new Chief of Staff for the April 6th election.

  John Diggle : Oh, I still don't see why you can't just put yourself back in the race, Oliver.

  Oliver Queen : You know, voters... They hate flip-flopping and that would be a pretty big one.

  Thea Queen : I can't let him work for the wife of the prince of darkness.

  Laurel Lance : And what if he got a better offer?

  Oliver Queen : Are *you* gonna run for mayor?

  Laurel Lance : Palmer Tech. They're hiring a new head of public relations.

  Oliver Queen : Ah.

  Laurel Lance : I just heard that... from someone...

  Oliver Queen : Laurel, she's not Voldemort, and I'm fine. That's a good idea. You should tell Alex to talk to Felicity.

  Thea Queen : Mmm-hmm...

  Oliver Queen : What?

  Thea Queen : Nothing, it's just... It's shocking that you know who Voldemort is.

  Oliver Queen : Well, I mean, I'm not immune to pop culture; I read a few of the Harry Potter books.

  John Diggle : Really? I was gonna bet Thea that you just saw the movies.

  Oliver Queen : There were movies?

• Oliver Queen : [All training on the mats in the bunker]  Thea, your back foot's sliding out.

  Thea Queen : No, it's not!

  Oliver Queen : Just because you can't see me, doesn't mean I'm not there. You've got to sense my presence even when I'm not in your eye-line.

  John Diggle : What advice would you give to me? Humor me.

  Oliver Queen : You're getting tired, you're dropping your shoulder, and you're opening yourself up.

  Oliver Queen : [Oliver throws him off the mat]  So you took your morning run from six miles to what? Maybe two?

  John Diggle : [Oliver helps Diggle up]  Yeah, well, taking care of a toddler is a marathon in itself. Right, but when you sacrifice your endurance, you're losing steam too early in our sessions. Let's go again.

  Thea Queen : I'll pass. I keep running out of excuses for my new bruises, and they're from *you*, not bad guys.

  Laurel Lance : The streets have gone quiet since we took Darhk off the board.

  Oliver Queen : His organization hasn't been. HIVE is still out there.

  John Diggle : Yeah, and when they rear their head, we'll take care of them, but we have to celebrate our victories. If we don't, we forget what we're fighting for.

• Felicity Smoak : [Thea walks into Felicity's office]  You people are like Tribbles today What's up? Everything okay with...

  Donna Smoak : Oliver?

  Felicity Smoak : Your night job... You know, that thing you do at night.

  Thea Queen : Yeah, no... That's fine. Ollie is-is fine too. It's actually about Alex. Um, he's no longer working on the campaign, so I was...

  Felicity Smoak : [Felicity's phone rings]  Oh my God, it's Mr. Dennis. I have a board meeting. You know what? He's a jerk... He can wait. What did you want to ask me about Alex.

• Thea Queen : I thought we were locked out.

  Felicity Smoak : Well, I'm going to have to see if I haven't lost my touch... And I have to see if my mom and the board members made it to safety.

  Thea Queen : You *really* should not have given Brie what she wanted.

  Felicity Smoak : I'm sick of people being put in vulnerable positions.

  Thea Queen : Yeah, well, now there's nothing stopping her from bringing those bee things back on us.

  Felicity Smoak : Well at the very least, it buys us, the team... Your team--time.

  Thea Queen : Ollie's going to be fine... He always is.

  Felicity Smoak : Well, unfortunately, in Oliver's case "he always is" isn't an accurate predictive metric. I'm sorry, I'm just sick of worrying. I'm sick of the violence...

  Thea Queen : Yeah, so am I, okay? Of course I am, but we put up with it... We push past it, because what we do is important, okay? We have to be that beacon of hope. Nobody else is.

  Felicity Smoak : You're the beacon of hope. I quit the team because I couldn't stand to work with Oliver, but... But now that I'm out, I look at life from a different perspective. I mean, look around you... Thea, we're in a Die Hard movie with bees. Maybe I'm meant for great things, maybe I'm not, but whatever it is, it's not this. I'm sorry... I'm not coming back.
