Katie Cassidy: Laurel Lance

Quotes 

• Oliver Queen : Looks like an arrow wound.

  Laurel Lance : Because it is an arrow wound.

  Oliver Queen : Where'd it come from?

  Laurel Lance : Your sister's bow.

  Oliver Queen : What?

  Laurel Lance : Look. I don't mean to blindside you with this, which why I wanted to talk to Felicity - you know, empathy and all that - but your sister is not the hero you think she is.

  Oliver Queen : What are you talking about?

  Laurel Lance : Ben Turner saw her at Slabside the night Diaz was murdered. It wasn't another inmate that killed Diaz. It was Emiko.

  Oliver Queen : That makes no sense.

  Laurel Lance : Well, I figured you say that, so I did more digging, and there are no records of her that exist past the age of 15, no fingerprints. And when I followed her last night to find out more, she tried skewering me with an arrow.

  Oliver Queen : OK. I've seen her skills up close. She doesn't miss. If she wanted you dead, you'd be dead.

  Laurel Lance : Oh. Maybe I should be thankful, then.

  Oliver Queen : Once upon a time, I actually shot Roy Harper and Barry Allen. It was to illustrate a point. My guess is that her point is she doesn't want to be stalked anymore.

  Laurel Lance : Or maybe sister has brother wrapped around her little finger. You know, the Oliver I knew, he had a blind spot for family, and I'm guess you do, too.

  Oliver Queen : It's called loyalty. I know that's a concept you don't totally understand.

  Laurel Lance : I have nothing to gain here. I am only trying to do what's right. Why can you not see that?

  Oliver Queen : There has to be more to this, and I will look into it if you will promise to stay out of it.

  Laurel Lance : I already wish I would have. Good luck.

• Laurel Lance : Are you here to give me another lecture or...

  Dinah Drake : The Halcones lieutenant, Gustavo Hernandez, was found dead an hour ago.

  Laurel Lance : Really? Am I supposed to be sad about that or something?

  Dinah Drake : Well, we had him in custody to prevent that. That is, of course, until your office said we had to turn him loose.

  Laurel Lance : Well, he made bail. You're the one who said I had to do things the right way, so I let him loose, and here we are back to square one.

  Dinah Drake : Well, actually, we're not. Hernandez's death spooked one of Gonzalez's other lieutenants, and, uh, he's gonna testify. Isn't that convenient?

  Laurel Lance : You think I did this.

  Dinah Drake : I'm not exactly hearing a denial.

  Laurel Lance : I shouldn't have to give you one. I think I've done more than enough to have earned the benefit of the doubt from you.

  Dinah Drake : I saw how you looked at that man, and it was the same look that you gave Vinnie right before you executed him.

  Laurel Lance : I have busted my ass being a good D.A., trying to play by the rules, but no matter what I do, you always just see me as the Black Siren.

  Dinah Drake : You're right. You're right, and I am sorry, but I don't know who you really are, Laurel. I don't, and I don't think that you do either. I think that's what scares me the most.

• Laurel Lance : What is so important that couldn't be handled over the phone?

  Dinah Drake : Do you remember our conversation about playing by the rules, about doing things the right way is usually the hard way?

  Laurel Lance : Why do I feel a lecture coming on?

• Dinah Drake : The Halcones kingpin, Ramiro Gonzales, we had a witness who was ready to nail him for criminal conspiracy until we found out his confession was coerced by the D.A.

  Laurel Lance : You wanted the city cleaned up, right? I'm cleaning.

  Dinah Drake : You are an officer of the law. You have to play by it. You know, with Team Arrow working alongside the SCPD, this city has a real chance of turning things around, and it's never gonna happen if our D.A. is a criminal.

  Laurel Lance : All of those guys are guilty. You'd rather see them kicked than me bend a couple of... of little rules to make sure their charges stick?

  Dinah Drake : Yes, because if anyone finds out what you've been up, they're all gonna get off on technicalities, and you're gonna get fired.

  Laurel Lance : Fine, but I'm sure there's a reason you brought this up in the first place.

  Dinah Drake : You have a second chance. SWAT brought in one of Ramirez's lieutenants last night, Gustavo Hernandez. He's looking to deal, and I want you to put that kingpin behind bars. Just need you to do it the right way.

  Laurel Lance : You really know how to take the fun out of everything.

• Laurel Lance : Do you know who I am?

  Gustavo Hernandez : You're the D.A. who used to be a vigilante. Yeah, I know you.

  Laurel Lance : Good. Because I know you, too. Drug trafficking, embezzlement, manslaughter. Murder?

  Gustavo Hernandez : So this is the part where you offer me a deal to make it all go away, right?

  Laurel Lance : Hmm. If it were up to me, I'd let you rot, or worse. But luckily for you, it's your boss who we're after. Ramiro Gonzales.

  Gustavo Hernandez : And you think that a plea deal's enough to flip me?

  Laurel Lance : Hey. I've got enough evidence here to convict you of three felonies, one using a deadly weapon, and that was in a day. Imagine what I could do in a week.
