Katherine McNamara: Mia Smoak

Quotes 

• Mia Smoak : What do you have against our parents? Seems like you came out all right. You're super-rich.

  Adult William Clayton : Well, let's see. Oliver, being my dad, got my mom killed. Then he and Felicity promised to stay in my life after my grandparents took custody, and then I never heard from them again, and my whole justification for it, you know, that it's hard for publicly recognized vigilantes to raise children, sort of went out the window when I found out they actually had another kid, which means that they just didn't want me.

  Mia Smoak : Being the kid they wanted wasn't so great, either. If you hate Felicity so much, why are you wasting all this time trying to find out where she is?

  Adult William Clayton : Because of this.

  Mia Smoak : A rock?

  Adult William Clayton : Felicity gave it to me when I was a kid, and it's how she sent out her distress signal, now nearly two decades later.

  Mia Smoak : And you held onto it all this time. It's actually really sad.

• Adult William Clayton : You know, parents aren't perfect. They love us the best way they can. Ahh, maybe I was just trying to do the same.

  Mia Smoak : My whole life, my mom told me that our dad was a hero, but everything in this city says the opposite, that all of our problems today are because of him and the other vigilantes. You knew him back then. Was he a hero?

  Adult William Clayton : Yeah, he really was, and, you know, I'm starting to think that this rock was supposed to lead me to you. Family was always the most important thing to my... our parents.

  Mia Smoak : Damn it, you are here to just talk me into joining you.

  Adult William Clayton : Well, did it work?

• Mia Smoak : So? Fill me in. What do you guys have so far?

  Adult William Clayton : The same bomb plans you have, plus a map of tunnels into the Glades.

  Mia Smoak : Cube in a cube.

  Adult William Clayton : You know it?

  Mia Smoak : Felicity used to force this stuff on me. Little, uh, mother/daughter bonding time before I wised up. There's another solve.

  [working the Rubik's Cube] 

  Mia Smoak : Cube in a... cube... in a cube.

  Adult William Clayton : [a hidden compartment opens]  No way. Huh.

• Mia Smoak : What is that?

  Adult William Clayton : I think it's a mini-cassette. My grandparents had an answering machine that used these.

  Mia Smoak : What's an answering machine?

  Adult William Clayton : It's not important. What is important is the message that's on this tape.

  Mia Smoak : Can you hack it, or...

  Adult William Clayton : No, you can't hack this. It's encryption through obsolescence. It's pretty genius, actually.

  Mia Smoak : Yeah, so genius you can't listen to it.

  Adult William Clayton : We'll figure it out.

  Mia Smoak : I hope so, because this could be the key to finding our mom.

• Adult William Clayton : My sister? No. That's not possible.

  Mia Smoak : I wish it wasn't, but here I am. Now get the damn gun off me.

  Adult Zoe Ramirez : He will when you stop lying.

  Dinah Drake : It just doesn't make any sense. We all knew Oliver and Felicity. They never had a daughter.

  Mia Smoak : Guess you didn't know them as well as you think.

• Mia Smoak : I thought you had Archer. Why do you need all this old junk?

  Adult William Clayton : Because as advanced as Archer is, it was designed for the Glades. This system was built for Star City. So who am I looking for again?

  Mia Smoak : Uh, some guy. Paul Loiseau. SCPD has him listed as the only eyewitness to Felicity's murder. I'm guessing she paid him to say she was there.

  Adult William Clayton : Says this guy committed suicide about a week ago.

  Connor Hawke : Wait. That was right when we started looking into Felicity's disappearance.

  Dinah Drake : What about the coroner?

  Adult William Clayton : Another suicide.

  Adult Zoe Ramirez : Star City's bad, but not that bad. Someone's taking these people out, but why?

• Dinah Drake : So Felicity uncovers a bomb plot, but before she can tell anybody, the party responsible fakes her death. Now they're tying up loose ends.

  Roy Harper : So why not just kill her?

  Dinah Drake : Because they needed her. You were the last one to talk to Felicity. What did she say?

  Mia Smoak : Just the usual bull about how the city's not safe and she wanted me to get out of town.

  Connor Hawke : It might not have been bull this time.

  Mia Smoak : You guys are just junkies looking for your hero fix. My mom is the only person I care about, and I'm gonna go look for her myself without any of you.

• Mia Smoak : You think just 'cause we're related, I'm not gonna kick your ass out of here?

  Adult William Clayton : That was the hope, yeah.

  Mia Smoak : If you're here to convince me to join your little merry band of heroes, save your breath.

  Adult William Clayton : Actually, I was just hoping that we could commiserate about how much our parents suck. I never had anyone to do that with before.
