Quotes 

• Laurel Lance : Diaz is in A.R.G.U.S. custody. He's not running around free. Trust me. I would be thrilled to see his head explode, but is it really worth the consequences?

  Felicity Smoak : Yes, it is worth every consequence. I have to protect my family.

  Laurel Lance : By family you mean you, Oliver, and your baby?

  Felicity Smoak : What, are you psychic now?

  Laurel Lance : Well, there's no wine or champagne and no caffeine on this mission, and that - that is a pregnant lady amount of chocolates you just consumed.

  Felicity Smoak : I ate that much chocolate before I was pregnant.

• Felicity Smoak : You want to know why I didn't kill Diaz. I wanted to. I was ready to. But then I realized killing Diaz wasn't going to prove anything. The whole reason I wanted Diaz dead was to protect our family, and... what our family needs is a fresh start, one in the light just like you're doing. I want our children to know that they are the most important thing to us and that we would do anything... anything for them.

  Oliver Queen : You said "children".

  Felicity Smoak : I'm pregnant.

• Felicity Smoak : You don't get to go free.

  Ricardo Diaz : Honey, didn't we go through this already? You don't have what it takes.

  Felicity Smoak : [cocking her gun's hammer]  I do, and I'm not scared of you, and I am stronger than you are, which is why I'm not going to kill you.

  [from behind, Dig knocks Diaz out] 

  Felicity Smoak : I thought Dante was the objective.

  John Diggle : He is the objective, just not the priority. Not this time.

• Felicity Smoak : Okay, Operation Blow the Head Off the Dragon is officially a go. I overrode A.R.G.U.S.'s security protocols and accessed the bomb in Diaz's brain, which means as soon as Dig's Ghost Initiative mission's over, one click.

  [snapping her fingers] 

  Felicity Smoak : Boom!

  Laurel Lance : [on her phone, distracted]  That's great.

  Felicity Smoak : High score on "Candy Crush"?

  Laurel Lance : I'm working.

  Felicity Smoak : I'm sorry. I didn't realize that being a fake lawyer was more interesting than getting revenge on the bastard who killed Quentin.

• Felicity Smoak : The Ghost Initiative sounds a lot like Task Force X.

  Oliver Queen : Didn't Lyla shelve that years ago?

  John Diggle : She did, but there's now a more immediate, more dangerous target that the brass at A.R.G.U.S., even above Lyla, is preventing us from pursuing. We're using the Ghost Initiative to go after this target without their oversight.

  Felicity Smoak : Well, I love a spontaneous OTA moment as much as the next person, but you didn't really come here to tell us about resurrecting an old A.R.G.U.S. defunct program, did you?

  John Diggle : It's not about the program. It's about who's in it. Ricardo Diaz.

  Felicity Smoak : You have to be joking. You're working with the man who threatened and tried to kill my entire family?

  Oliver Queen : I think it's important to hear what John has to say.

  John Diggle : Look, working with this monster is a small price to pay for bringing down a much larger threat. Diaz was the only one we could use to get close to this guy, and I promise you he is a million times worse.

• Felicity Smoak : So Diaz is just walking around free right now in exchange for intel?

  John Diggle : He's not free, Felicity. He has a bomb in his head. If he makes one misstep... we are taking every precaution.

  Felicity Smoak : Well, I understand why Curtis left.

  Oliver Queen : Hey.

  Felicity Smoak : You can't really be okay with this.

  Oliver Queen : No. But I-I trust John, and I believe that he would only take a step like this if he had no other choice.

  John Diggle : There was no other choice. And I hate that it came to this, but Lyla and I believe that using the Ghost Initiative is the best way to take down this threat.

  Felicity Smoak : You realize that this is the second time you have prioritized your job over keeping your friends safe?

  John Diggle : Working with A.R.G.U.S. does keep you safe, because it makes the world safe.

  Felicity Smoak : You can keep telling yourself that.

• Oliver Queen : Just got off the phone with John. He and Lyla are gearing up for a Ghost Initiative op. They asked me to be in the field.

  Felicity Smoak : In the field with whom, exactly? Diaz?

  Oliver Queen : I told John it was your decision. Whatever you decide after the mission, I will back any move that you want to make against Diaz.

• Oliver Queen : I know why you've been acting so strange lately, right?

  Felicity Smoak : You do?

  Oliver Queen : Yeah.

  Felicity Smoak : I was gonna tell you. There's just been so much going on. I...

  Oliver Queen : You're planning to kill Diaz.

  Felicity Smoak : [covering]  Yeah. Uh, so I'm guessing there is a speech coming.

  Oliver Queen : Felicity, I think there's a better way. I-I think that, but that's my choice. I have no right whatsoever to make yours. Right after I got out of Slabside, I-I didn't realize or totally understand the-the pain that you were dealing with. I just want you to get closure because I want us to be able to move forward. I hope you change your mind, but if you don't, I swear I will not stand in your way.

  Felicity Smoak : Thank you.

  Oliver Queen : I have your back no matter what.

  Felicity Smoak : Tell John you're coming on the mission. And so am I.

• Lyla Michaels : Overwatch, what's your status?

  Felicity Smoak : The feed is live, but five of the cameras are down in the southeast corridor. One guess as to why.

  Lyla Michaels : That's where we'll find Dante and the princess. They don't want eyes on the exchange.

  John Diggle : Hold on. What the hell is Director Bell doing here?

  Lyla Michaels : Son of a bitch. He's Dante's source.

  Ricardo Diaz : Looks like somebody owes me an apology.

• John Diggle : Well, Diaz will be taken back to Slabside for reneging on his side of the deal. This time, he'll stay there.

  Oliver Queen : Still need to think about Dante. He's not gonna forget what happened tonight.

  Felicity Smoak : I won't, either. You could've gone after Dante, but you chose Diaz.

  John Diggle : Last year, I had the opportunity to catch Diaz, and I let it slip through my fingers. I wasn't gonna make the same mistake twice.

  Felicity Smoak : Well, what about Dante being the greater threat?

  John Diggle : When I knew there was a choice between catching Diaz or Dante, all I could think about was what letting Diaz go meant to you last time, Felicity, so in that moment, I decided that sometimes the best choice is to just protect your family, and that's exactly what you two are.
