Quotes 

• Oliver Queen : [tosses Diggle an ice-pack]  I'd say thanks, but I really don't think that would cover it.

  John Diggle : Well, like I told your cop friend, I was just doing my job. Besides, I think I'm the one who should be thanking you.

  Oliver Queen : [confused]  For what?

  John Diggle : The knife.

  Oliver Queen : The knife. I got lucky.

  John Diggle : That was a kitchen knife. It wasn't even weighted properly, yet you threw it for accuracy across a ten-foot room.

  Oliver Queen : Exactly. I got lucky.

• Oliver Queen : I got lucky.

  John Diggle : I'm not the man you wanna take for a fool, Mr. Queen. You understand me?

  Oliver Queen : Yes.

  John Diggle : I think I'm just beginning to understand what kind of man you are.

  Oliver Queen : Shouldn't take you very long. I'm shallow.

• Moira Queen : I hired you to protect my son. Now, I'm not a professional bodyguard, but it seems to me that the first requirement of the job is staying close to the person you're protecting.

  John Diggle : I've never had a client who didn't want my protection before, ma'am.

• John Diggle : Home is a battlefield.

• Quentin Lance : [after Diggle saves Oliver and Laurel from assassins]  Mr. Diggle, thank you. You feel free to run as many red lights as you want in this city, all right?

  John Diggle : I was just doing my job, sir.

  Quentin Lance : No, your job is protecting him.

  [advances on Oliver] 

  Quentin Lance : It seems that whenever you're around one of my daughters, people die.

• [last lines] 

  John Diggle : Will you be going out tonight, sir?

  Oliver Queen : Definitely.

• Oliver Queen : [apologizing for ditching Diggle]  Sorry to give you so much grief.

  John Diggle : I served three tours in Afghanistan, Mr. Queen. You don't even come close to my definition of grief.
