Quotes 

• John Diggle : Curtis, Rene, you take upstairs. Me and Dinah will secure down here.

  Curtis Holt : Split up? What? Have you guys never seen a horror movie before? Wait, Rene.

• Rene Ramirez : This is turning out to be one hell of a first day on the job.

  Curtis Holt : Yeah. Look at us, working together again, being targeted by a homicidal maniac. Feels like a Monday.

• [Curtis is about to release a T-sphere] 

  Dinah Drake : Hey, don't, Curtis.

  Curtis Holt : Why not?

  Rene Ramirez : What if someone spots that thing flying around? Might as well have a freaking neon sign that says, "Hey, murderer, we're here."

• Curtis Holt : What's that, some A.R.G.U.S. fan mail?

  John Diggle : No, not exactly.

  Curtis Holt : Oh, this is some "I Know What You Did Last Summer" creepiness.

• John Diggle : How's the search for Dante coming?

  Curtis Holt : Good. We were able to backtrace the number Diaz called. It belongs to Dante's contact in Egypt. A guy by the name of Virgil. If we're able to bring him in, we'll have Dante.

  John Diggle : Fantastic. And we would have you to thank for it. Excellent work, Curtis.

  Curtis Holt : Too bad I might not be around for my victory lap.

  John Diggle : What are we talking about here?

  Curtis Holt : There's no good way to say this, but I've been offered a job at the Kohler Humanitarian Institute in D.C. I would be able to create tech that would be able to help people all over the world.

  John Diggle : Curtis, I know you're not happy with the Ghost Inititative, but I was hoping that we could get past that. Besides, the work you're doing right here at A.R.G.U.S. is already helping people all over the world.

  Curtis Holt : I know you believe that, John. I'm just not sure that I do.

• Curtis Holt : Wow, this is a lot of blood.

  Rene Ramirez : I thought Kullens was in jail for helping Diaz.

  John Diggle : Yeah, well, apparently, he had a very good lawyer, because he got out a month ago.

  Oliver Queen : Any chance this connects with the two body drops we were looking at last week?

  Dinah Drake : Kullens did have this throat slit, same as the other two. I mean, the only difference is that Kullens was the only victim to leave behind one of these notes. Look familiar? I spoke to the families of the other victims, and they did get notes, as well. They just didn't turn them in.

• John Diggle : Eight murders over the course of two months.

  Dinah Drake : And this is definintely the same guy we're dealing with?

  Curtis Holt : Yeah. Analysis of the wound confirms the same angle of entry in all the murders here and in Central City.

  Rene Ramirez : The question is why pack up and bring the fun here?

  John Diggle : Yeah. That really is the missing piece of the puzzle, isn't it?

• John Diggle : Doesn't seem to be any obvious connection between the victims.

  Curtis Holt : Actually, maybe there is. They all had elevated levels of magnesium in their blood.

  Dinah Drake : But their tox screens came back clear.

  Curtis Holt : Well, that's because increased magnesium alone isn't a red flag, but if you combine that with decreased levels of red blood cells, then you have a drug called Mivacurium. It's a neuromusclar blocking agent.

  Dinah Drake : Captain Singh said it looked like the victims had been immobilized. It's because they had been drugged.

  Curtis Holt : Mivacurium is extremely rare. In fact, there's only been one shipment in the past month to Star City, to a condemned house in the Glades addressed to a John Doe.

• John Diggle : I've been thinking about what you said, about wanting to do something different.

  Curtis Holt : Okay, suddenly I'm getting nervous about where this is going.

  John Diggle : No need. I just talked with Lyla, and we both agree that, Curtis, we cannot afford to lose a talent like yours, so... A.R.G.U.S. wants to make you the head of its Science and Technology division.

  Curtis Holt : You want me in charge of the entire division?

  John Diggle : The entire division. You'll be shaping the future of A.R.G.U.S., Curtis.

  Curtis Holt : Wow.

  John Diggle : You can make all the decisions, just like you wanted.

  Curtis Holt : I don't know what to say.

  John Diggle : Say you'll do it, man. Just stay here in Star City, you can keep working with the team. I think it's the best of both worlds. Think about it.
