Quotes 

• Oliver Queen : What?

  Thea Queen : Nothing. It's just... It's shocking that you know who Voldemort is.

  Oliver Queen : Well, I'm not immune to pop culture. I read a few of the "Harry Potter" books.

  John Diggle : Really? I was gonna bet Thea that you just saw the movies.

  Oliver Queen : They were movies?

• Laurel Lance : Well, at least now we know this stops the bees.

  Curtis Holt : I wish it was that simple, but not that we've played that card, they've undoubtedly adapted to it, but we just beat a group of robot bees using a superhero doohickey, and it that's not high-five worthy, I don't know what is.

  Oliver Queen : Curtis, now is not the time for high-fives.

• Curtis Holt : These bees, they're tiny computers, okay? With Felicity trapped inside, you guys are gonna need someone to hack them. But I'll have to "bee" careful.

  [he laughs, but sees no one else is] 

  Curtis Holt : It's too soon for bee puns, right?

  Oliver Queen : Let's assume that it is.

• Oliver Queen : [Curtis has found his way into the Bunker]  Forget the how. What are you doing here?

  Curtis Holt : I saw the bee hive on the news. Felicity's in there.

  John Diggle : Yeah, we were just about to mount a rescue operation.

  Curtis Holt : Do you guys even know what that is?

  Quentin Lance : That is an army of robotic bees. Yeah. That's my life now.

• Laurel Lance : What's wrong?

  Thea Queen : Alex has a new job interview... With Ruve Darhk.

  Oliver Queen : What?

  Thea Queen : She's looking for a new Chief of Staff for the April 6th election.

  John Diggle : Oh, I still don't see why you can't just put yourself back in the race, Oliver.

  Oliver Queen : You know, voters... They hate flip-flopping and that would be a pretty big one.

  Thea Queen : I can't let him work for the wife of the prince of darkness.

  Laurel Lance : And what if he got a better offer?

  Oliver Queen : Are *you* gonna run for mayor?

  Laurel Lance : Palmer Tech. They're hiring a new head of public relations.

  Oliver Queen : Ah.

  Laurel Lance : I just heard that... from someone...

  Oliver Queen : Laurel, she's not Voldemort, and I'm fine. That's a good idea. You should tell Alex to talk to Felicity.

  Thea Queen : Mmm-hmm...

  Oliver Queen : What?

  Thea Queen : Nothing, it's just... It's shocking that you know who Voldemort is.

  Oliver Queen : Well, I mean, I'm not immune to pop culture; I read a few of the Harry Potter books.

  John Diggle : Really? I was gonna bet Thea that you just saw the movies.

  Oliver Queen : There were movies?

• Oliver Queen : [All training on the mats in the bunker]  Thea, your back foot's sliding out.

  Thea Queen : No, it's not!

  Oliver Queen : Just because you can't see me, doesn't mean I'm not there. You've got to sense my presence even when I'm not in your eye-line.

  John Diggle : What advice would you give to me? Humor me.

  Oliver Queen : You're getting tired, you're dropping your shoulder, and you're opening yourself up.

  Oliver Queen : [Oliver throws him off the mat]  So you took your morning run from six miles to what? Maybe two?

  John Diggle : [Oliver helps Diggle up]  Yeah, well, taking care of a toddler is a marathon in itself. Right, but when you sacrifice your endurance, you're losing steam too early in our sessions. Let's go again.

  Thea Queen : I'll pass. I keep running out of excuses for my new bruises, and they're from *you*, not bad guys.

  Laurel Lance : The streets have gone quiet since we took Darhk off the board.

  Oliver Queen : His organization hasn't been. HIVE is still out there.

  John Diggle : Yeah, and when they rear their head, we'll take care of them, but we have to celebrate our victories. If we don't, we forget what we're fighting for.

• Laurel Lance : I know you're hurting, but you can't take it out on Curtis.

  Oliver Queen : I'm not taking it out on Curtis--I just need him to see.

  Laurel Lance : See what?

  Oliver Queen : That this is not a good life. I walked away from it, and I was happy. For the first time in eight years, I was content.

  Laurel Lance : So why did you come back?

  Oliver Queen : I came back because of Felicity. She convinced me that we could do this job, that we could save the city, and not... surrender to the darkness, but I don't... I don't think that we can.

  Laurel Lance : You're only saying that right now because you're in ten different kinds of pain, but the harsh truth is that Felicity... She broke up with you because of your choices. Because of the lies that you told. You, Oliver. Not the Green Arrow.

  Oliver Queen : I know. It just doesn't seem fair that I can save a city, and not save my relationship.

  Laurel Lance : Oliver, life's not fair... Whether you're in Star City or Ivy Town, but you're right--You *can* save this city. You do it every night. You're a beacon of hope to people. I just wish that you would try and use some of that hope for yourself.

• Curtis Holt : I'm beginning to see why you and Felicity didn't work out.

  Oliver Queen : Probably deserved that.

  Curtis Holt : Look, I'm all for hugs and learning, but like you said, there's still danger.

  Oliver Queen : Yeah.

  Curtis Holt : [Quickly]  ... And you are a very scary man.

• Oliver Queen : You son of a bitch!

  [begins to fight Reiter] 

  Baron Reiter : [takes the upper hand]  My victory is inevitable, Mr. Queen. Just think, all this power came from the life essence of one man. Imagine in what I will become when dozen of lives are sacrificed in my name.

  Oliver Queen : You'll become a monster.

  Baron Reiter : No, a God. Let me show you.

  [grabs Oliver's neck] 

  Baron Reiter : [the powers begin to lose effect]  No, I need more!
