Quotes 

• Rene Ramirez : True love is so special that we all dream about it, and when I look at Oliver and Felicity, I'm reminded of how I felt about my wife on our wedding day. We were so in love. We would do anything for each other, I mean, no matter what, and that is the epitome of Oliver and Felicity. Yeah. I mean, you guys have had your struggles, but you always work through it. These are two of the most genuine people in the world, and they deserve all the happiness, and I'm so fortunate to call them my friends. So please raise a glass to true love. Oliver and Felicity.

• Dinah Drake : You okay?

  Curtis Holt : Me? Oh, yeah. Of course. Just because I'm divorced doesn't mean that I can't handle celebrating people getting married.

  Dinah Drake : Well, I'm not that into weddings, either.

  Rene Ramirez : [sarcastic]  Shocker.

  Dinah Drake : Well, the idea of spending the rest of your life with one person seems... pretty unrealistic and, uh, also pretty boring. That's probably why I've had so many busted engagements.

  Curtis Holt : Say what?

  Rene Ramirez : What?

  Dinah Drake : [receiving a text]  Be right back.

  Rene Ramirez : What, were you just gonna leave on that bombshell, that's what you're gonna do?

  Dinah Drake : [non-committally]  Hmm.

  Rene Ramirez : Is it me, or has she been acting weird lately?

  Curtis Holt : Oh, no. She's definitely been on UpSwipz. She's been secretly texting with somebody for weeks now.

  Rene Ramirez : Good for her.

• Thea Queen : This is only a courtesy dance because your speech was so sweet.

  Rene Ramirez : I have my moments. You okay?

  Thea Queen : Yeah. You know, just, um, thought a friend might have come. Would have been nice to see him.

  Rene Ramirez : Oh, it's a "him"? I'm guessing he's more than just a friend, then. Weddings make you nostalgic for the ones you love. I definitely miss my wife and my family. You know, for what it's worth, I did see the DJ checking you out.

  Thea Queen : Oh, no, no. I... I don't do DJs. I had a thing once. It did not work out.

• Curtis Holt : Remember that thermobaric bomb that Cayden stole? Well, this will multiply the blast radius twenty fold easily.

  John Diggle : That's the entire city, and then some.

  Rene Ramirez : Look, I want to save Lance as much as anyone, but he wouldn't want this. I mean, he wouldn't want us to just hand over something so dangerous to some psycho.

  Oliver Queen : Yeah, well, that's exactly what we're going to do. Curtis is gonna sabotage it.

  Curtis Holt : Curtis is gonna do what, now?

  Oliver Queen : The amplifier doesn't have to work. We just need Cayden James to think that it works long enough for us to get Quentin back.

• Rene Ramirez : Dinah isn't the witness, Oliver.

  Oliver Queen : You don't know that.

  Rene Ramirez : Yes, I do, 'cause it's me. I'm the one who's testifying against you.

• Rene Ramirez : Agent Watson came to me. She said she had proof that I was Wild Dog and that she was gonna use it against me to make sure that I never saw Zoe again. She said she had a solid case against you, and that she was gonna arrest you either way. You were going down. I just couldn't make the trip with you.

  John Diggle : You should have told us, Rene. We could have figured something out.

  Rene Ramirez : There was nothing to figure out, hoss. Right? There is no other way.

  Felicity Smoak : Yeah, now we'll never know.

  Oliver Queen : Rene... get out.

  [nobody moves] 

  Oliver Queen : Get. Out.

• Curtis Holt : How can you eat this?

  Rene Ramirez : You ask me that every time.

  Dinah Drake : He means at a time like this.

  Rene Ramirez : Stress makes me hungry. So does guilt. I just... I screwed up. You know, Oliver was right to kick me off the team.

  Dinah Drake : You were in an impossible position.

  Rene Ramirez : Yeah, and when you're in an impossible position, that's why there's a team, D. Just like Dig said.

• Rene Ramirez : You're uncharacteristically quiet, hoss.

  Curtis Holt : Just hung over, doing some processing. I'm actually doing a lot of processing.

  Dinah Drake : Oliver spying on us, you mean?

  Curtis Holt : Not gonna pretend there's not a difference between the three of us and the three of them, you know, the original three, but...

  Dinah Drake : Spying on us? I mean, come on. It crosses a line.

  Curtis Holt : Yeah. And I just don't like the way that it makes me feel. Now I'm stressed.

  [he grabs Rene's burger and takes a bite] 

  Curtis Holt : Wow. It's good. It's real good.

• Wild Dog : Thanks for having me back, man.

  Green Arrow : Let's get our friend back. This where Cayden James wants to make the exchange?

  Felicity Smoak : Yep. It's a no-brainer he picked this place. It's a digital black hole. There's no cameras, insulated walls. Once you guys get inside, I'm totally blind.

  John Diggle : But that means so is he.

  Green Arrow : Get the amplifier working?

  Mr. Terrific : I hope so, 'cause otherwise we'd be handing a crazy psychopath the means to crater the entire city.

  [seeing Arrow's look] 

  Mr. Terrific : I mean yes. Yes, it's ready.

  Green Arrow : I will handle the exchange. You three be my eyes and ears. The priority is extracting Quentin, but if we get a chance to take Cayden James into custody, we take it. Whatever we're going through here, whatever issues we have, let's put it aside and get the job done.

• Black Canary : No sign of Lance or Laurel.

  Wild Dog : We can't see anything from up here. Let's search the building.

  John Diggle : Green Arrow said stay put until he makes the exchange.

  Wild Dog : What? We're... we're his eyes and ears and we can't even look around?

  Felicity Smoak : Guys, we need you as backup.

  Mr. Terrific : Well, maybe if you bugged Lance like you bugged us, we'd know where he was.

  Felicity Smoak : Whoa, whoa. We didn't bug you guys. We tracked your GPS. It's totally different.

  Mr. Terrific : [turning off his comm]  Bugging me now.

  Felicity Smoak : You know I can hear you through Wild Dog's comms. You know that, right?

• Oliver Queen : Moving off of your position, was that your call or Curtis'?

  Curtis Holt : Look, I was right there beside...

  Rene Ramirez : It was my call. And it turned out to be the right one.

  Oliver Queen : You got lucky, Rene. Doesn't make it the right call.

• Rene Ramirez : Look, man. I know you're pissed at me, and I don't care, because you left us blind out there, and I wasn't gonna let Lance die just because you didn't trust us enough to go off leash and look for him.

  Oliver Queen : When we are in the field, there is a clear chain of command, plain and simple.

  Rene Ramirez : I've been the same guy tonight that I've always been since you brought me onto this team.

  Oliver Queen : Rene, yes, that's true. You have; sometimes, you go your own way.

  Rene Ramirez : That's right.

  Oliver Queen : And I put up with it because I trusted you.

  Rene Ramirez : What's that supposed to mean?

  Oliver Queen : You got a second chance tonight, my friend, and you broke our trust again. You don't get a third. You're off the team.

  Rene Ramirez : Just like that?

  Oliver Queen : Just like that.

  Rene Ramirez : [turning to leave]  It's been real, y'all.

  Dinah Drake : Yeah, I hate to say it, but Oliver is right. We're a team. We need to... we need to trust each other, need to believe in each other. I don't believe in you anymore.

  John Diggle : Dinah.

  Dinah Drake : Don't. It's too late. I'm out, too.
