Quotes 

• John Diggle : What you got?

  Curtis Holt : There was a break-in last night at Sunderland Corp.

  John Diggle : Why didn't we get an alert? Felicity has us wired...

  Curtis Holt : Up the wazoo. I know. I'm trying to figure it out. I mean, we're basically the Big Brother of Star City. Not in a creepy way.

  [switching computers] 

  Curtis Holt : Oh, okay, this makes more sense now.

  John Diggle : Laurel.

  Curtis Holt : Yeah, who works with Cayden James, who can hack any security system to bypass any alerts, such as ours.

• John Diggle : What did they steal?

  Curtis Holt : Nano-thermite. It's a metastable, intermolecular composite.

  [seeing John doesn't understand] 

  Curtis Holt : A reactive particle. You know, like a mint inside of a soda. Alone, harmless, but together, kaboom, as in "kill lots of people", not "spill grape juice all over your Cub Scout"...

  John Diggle : What are they targeting, Curtis?

  Curtis Holt : I don't know. Nano-thermite needs to be combined in order to be combustible, but once it is, there are many, many, many possibilities.

  John Diggle : Can you narrow it down?

  Curtis Holt : No, but Felicity might be able to.

• Felicity Smoak : Hey. Talk fast. Oliver's arraignment is in two minutes.

  Curtis Holt : Laurel and Cayden James got their hands on a mess of nano-thermite last night.

  Felicity Smoak : That means they'll be in the market for an accelerant.

  Curtis Holt : Yeah. What kind of accelerant? That's a really long list.

• Felicity Smoak : The nano-thermite heist, did it involve a computer hack?

  Curtis Holt : It involved Cayden James, so what do you think?

  Felicity Smoak : I think that you can backtrace his hack, maybe you can get into his system.

  Curtis Holt : Can you come back and do this? Because you're, like, way better at this than I am.

• Felicity Smoak : We have a problem. We have a massively huge problem. And considering it's in the same week Oliver has been arrested.

  John Diggle : What is it?

  Felicity Smoak : The nano-thermite, when combined with the explosive, creates a thermobaric weapon.

  John Diggle : What's a thermobaric weapon?

  Felicity Smoak : It disperses what is essentially a cloud of fire and then pressure-cooks everything within 200 yards.

  Curtis Holt : I'm guessing we're giving up hope that Cayden James has to cook a lot of turkeys for Thanksgiving.

• Felicity Smoak : Should we order our traditional Thanksgiving meal?

  Curtis Holt : I can call Big Belly Burger.

  Rene Ramirez : I'm gonna crush my French fries and pretend they're mashed potatoes.

• Felicity Smoak : Maximum damage for a thermobaric bomb is Starling Stadium.

  Rene Ramirez : [realizing something]  Today's Thanksgiving.

  Curtis Holt : Yeah, we just covered that when we talked about ordering turkey burgers.

  Rene Ramirez : Wow. I'm saying, Billy Joel's playing there tonight. Sold-out crowd.

  [seeing their looks of surprise] 

  Rene Ramirez : I happen to like a wide variety of music, and "The Stranger" is a treasured piece of rock and roll history.
