- Lyla Michaels: POTUS and SECDEF has taken us to Defcon-2.
- John Diggle: Just two? They're optimistic.
- Lyla Michaels: They don't want to cause a panic. The president asked me if the fate of the world is resting in the hands of an IT girl, a criminal, and two guys in Halloween costumes.
- Oliver Queen: They're not Halloween costumes.
- Malcolm Merlyn: Lonnie Machin is here. He's killed five of Damien's men that we know about.
- Thea Queen: There's plenty of ways I can respond to that but I'm gonna go with "good".
- Lyla Michaels: Rubicon is a fail-safe against nuclear Armageddon. A.R.G.U.S. designed it to be 100% unhackable.
- Oliver Queen: No, she can do it. She's the best.
- Felicity Smoak: Well, actually, that woule be my father, as far as Rubicon is concerned. It uses Fourier protocols. Noah practically wrote the book on them.
- [seeing Oliver's expression]
- Felicity Smoak: The world is facing nuclear Armageddon. My pride and my general dislike for my father can take a backseat for the next twenty plus hours.
- John Diggle: Felicity, this isn't about pride. Your father's a criminal. He can't be trusted.
- Felicity Smoak: I'm not saying we should trust him. I'm saying we need to.
- Malcolm Merlyn: [about Darhk's 'ark'] The predictability was a terrible flaw in the design.
- Thea Queen: Predictability is your flaw, too. Every time my life starts to suck, you show up.
- Oliver Queen: I'm not gonna pretend to understand what you're going through.
- John Diggle: Well, Oliver, you've been through this with your mother, which is why I can't quite understand why you're putting the fate of the world in the hands of another evil parent.
- Oliver Queen: I'm not trusting Kuttler. I trust Felicity. And we should just let her do her job, okay?
- Oliver Queen: [after entering the bunker after almost getting killed] I can't get ahold of Thea.
- Felicity Smoak: It's okay, she got ahold of me.
- Felicity Smoak: [Felicity hugs Oliver tightly and pulls back to look at him] Thanks for not being dead.
- Quentin Lance: Uh, aren't we all gonna be if you're away from your computer?
- Felicity Smoak: I should've taken more processors on my way out.
- John Diggle: They made a mistake letting you go... They'll see it.
- Felicity Smoak: And if they don't, I'm taking revenge plan suggestions.
