- Oliver Queen: I'm taking you somewhere to explain why I'm what I'm doing.
- Anatoly Knyazev: I spent a year on this island. You never told me there was a bar.
- Oliver Queen: How is it coming with...
- Felicity Smoak: William?
- Felicity Smoak: Yep. I'm actually having trouble finding him. Samantha did a *really* good job at hiding herself and William.
- Oliver Queen: Well, if Felicity Smoak can't find him, I feel better about Chase not being able to, so... thank you.
- [He touches her shoulder in appreciation; she smiles brightly]
- [Oliver shows up to the Robert Queen Applied Sciences building wearing the Green Arrow uniform after a three-week hiatus]
- Mr. Terrific: Nice! What made you decide to put it back on.
- Green Arrow: Felicity has a way with words.
- Robert Queen: [Playing old video file] What is a family without a soul? You can right my wrongs. You can be better than I was. You can save this city.
- Felicity Smoak: [Whistling] No pressure, or anything...
- Felicity Smoak: [Oliver chuckles] Is this the video you said your father left for you?
- Oliver Queen: Yep. He left one for Thea, too. I never showed it to her.
- Felicity Smoak: Why not?
- Oliver Queen: Because he asked her to always watch over me, and I didn't want to burden her with that.
- Felicity Smoak: Hmm, sounds like typical Oliver Queen thinking.
- Felicity Smoak: [Oliver exhales loudly] Why are you rewatching it?
- Oliver Queen: I wanna know how I missed it.
- Felicity Smoak: Missed what?
- Oliver Queen: He's a murderer. I mean, he helped Merlyn start the Undertaking. I've never deluded myself into thinking he's a saint, bu too take a man's life, cover it up... It's like I didn't know him at all.
- Felicity Smoak: Has i occurred to you that this is exactly what Chase wants?
- Oliver Queen: Mmm-hmm.
- Felicity Smoak: Okay, the question was rhetorical-- Of course, it's occurred to you; of course this is what Chase wants...
- Oliver Queen: Chase wants to destroy the basis for everything that we are doing here, and that crusade began with my father. Everything that I've done... Everything has in some way been about honoring him.
- Felicity Smoak: Your father inspired you to save this city, and you did. At this point, who cares why? You're not a killer. The people you care about are not suffering because of you. Their life, my life is better because you decided to become the Green Arrow. Well, whenever you decide to become the Green Arrow again.
- Oliver Queen: I know you're right--I believe you're right, but every time I try to take a step forward, it feels like the past is pulling me back.
- Felicity Smoak: Probably because you're letting it.
- Oliver Queen: Yeah.
- Felicity Smoak: Maybe it's time to stop living for your father and start living for yourself. Leave the past in the past.
- Thea Queen: [Entering bunker from elevator] Well that's a lot of satisfied-looking faces.
- Curtis Holt: And Adrian Chase is warming up a cell at A.R.G.U.S. as we speak.
- [Looking at Oliver]
- Curtis Holt: Did you want to deliver that news? 'Cause I don't...
- Oliver Queen: That's fine.
- Felicity Smoak: Okay, so Oliver dropped this truth bomb on him, and then he was just like a marionette with his strings cut off... So epic.
- Dinah Drake: Great, but there are a lot of bad guys left on the streets, okay?
- Rene Ramirez: Damn girl, you know how to kill a mood?
- Oliver Queen: Rene's right.
- Rene Ramirez: Ohhh, say that again.
- Oliver Queen: You're right--For tonight, we should enjoy the win.
- John Diggle: Agreed. So, first round's on me.
- Dinah Drake: Yes!
- Felicity Smoak: Woo, yes!
