- Green Arrow: Overwatch, we're on site.
- Felicity Smoak: Excuse me?
- Green Arrow: Well, I thought that it was time you got a code name. What do you think?
- Felicity Smoak: It's perfect.
- Green Arrow: Was gonna go with Oracle, but it was taken.
- Oliver Queen: The doctor said your condition is permanent, and I don't think that it's healthy or productive for either of us to... live in denial, but I have seen people speed and shrink and fly. We watched a friend of ours come back from the dead. That is the world we live in now. And I will not stop searching it until we find a way to make you walk again.
- Laurel Lance: Felicity, she makes her own choices, you know. I am sure that's one of the reasons why you love her so much.
- Amanda Waller: I'm afraid you've overextended your welcome, Mr. Diggle.
- John Diggle: Which is A.R.G.U.S. speak for "Get the hell out of here".
- Amanda Waller: You always were a quick study.
- John Diggle: So how many evil organizations are you associated with? I'm beginning to lose count.
- Andy Diggle: What are you talking about?
- John Diggle: Shadowspire! Your old Army buddies are in Starling City. They tortured and killed an A.R.G.U.S. agent and abducted two others.
- Andy Diggle: Look, I have nothing to do with them anymore. After I got discharged, they cut ties. They only want enlisted men.
- John Diggle: How the hell could I not see this? You were with me the entire time!
- Andy Diggle: Because you saw what you wanted to see. Look, you wanted to believe that the Army had straightened me out. Look, I'm your brother, but I'm not built like you. I didn't take to the military like you did. You saw the world as something to be fixed. I only saw it as broken, so I made sure I had enough to survive in it.
- John Diggle: Good job.
- Andy Diggle: It was like you said. It was the only way to get us both in here.
- John Diggle: Just remember whose idea this was.
- Andy Diggle: Eh, what were you expecting, a kiss from the president?
- Andy Diggle: Who would think the reward for confiscating an opium shipment would be additional duty guarding it?
- John Diggle: What you expect, a kiss from the president?
- Andy Diggle: Look, I know how Shadowspire operates. If they're consistent, they'll use the nearest freeport as a base of operations. The best place to hide illicit things is right next to legitimate ones.
- Amanda Waller: You really don't know her that well at all, do you?
- Lyla Michaels: Michaels is one of my most trusted agents. She knows better than anyone that I'm perfectly capable of watching you execute every person in this room, and I'll still never give you the Rubicon access codes.
- Lieutenant Joyner: Hmm. Is that right, Ms. Michaels?
- Lyla Michaels: It's right. It's why I left. Amanda Waller doesn't make decisions based on the values of human life.
- Lieutenant Joyner: Pity.
- [Lt. Joyner shoots Amanda]
- Lieutenant Joyner: Well, Ms. Michaels, most trusted agent, looks like you now have 20 minutes.
- Andy Diggle: Uh, how you end up working out of a basement or wherever we are and fighting crime with a guy who wears a green hood?
- John Diggle: Well, he's a good man, and we're not fighting crime, Andy. We're taking a city that's holding itself together, and we are helping. Don't you remember when that was your mission?
- Felicity Smoak: What are you doing here?
- Felicity Smoak: Well, I was at home, feeling more self-pit than I have in my entire life when it hit me... This is who I am. I wanted to come along on your awesome superhero adventure because I wanted to help people. And the old me was so angry at the world. That anger never accomplished anything; it just created more anger, and some seriously bad personal style choices. I wanted to do some good in the world
- Oliver Queen: [Felicity hits Oliver on the knee] Ow!
- Felicity Smoak: That was a good speech. I thought you'd be a little more impressed.
- Oliver Queen: It was a good speech, but...
- Felicity Smoak: But... How did it go again? I know you, and I do, you're probably thinking what happened was your fault. I'm here to tell you that it's not, and that it's not mine either. Its' the fault of only one man, and he is an extremely on-the-nose and alliterative name.
- Felicity Smoak: [Oliver laughs through his tears] And we're going to stop him... Not out of guilt or vengeance or regret. We are going to stop him because it's what we do... It's who we are.
- Oliver Queen: That was a good speech.
- Felicity Smoak: Yeah?
- Oliver Queen: I'm very happy to hear it.
- Oliver Queen: [to Felicity] One more thing from me. The doctor said your condition is permanent, and I don't think it's healthy or productive for either of us to live in denial, but I have seen people speed and shrink and fly. We watched a friend of ours come back from the dead--*that* is the world we live in now, and I will not stop searching it until we find a way to make you walk again.
- Oliver Queen: [Felicity shows her a picture of her in college] Wow! When you said you made some bad personal style choices, you weren't kidding.
- Felicity Smoak: This is the old me. A rebellious, brunette hacker who didn't listen to anyone else's rules but her own.
- Oliver Queen: You're not that person anymore.
- Felicity Smoak: Nope.
- Oliver Queen: What you did last night was amazing.
- Felicity Smoak: I *was* really badass.
- Oliver Queen: Yeah.
- Felicity Smoak: Though the old me probably would have stolen the plans for Rubicon and released them as some sort of political statement.
- Oliver Queen: The old me would have snapped Joyner's neck.
- Felicity Smoak: Yeah.
- Oliver Queen: We've both grown.
- Felicity Smoak: Thank you for always being on my side.
- Oliver Queen: No place I'd rather be.
