Quotes 

• Oliver Queen : What's going on? Where are the others?

  Curtis Holt : Somewhere not here.

  Felicity Smoak : This really shouldn't come as any sort of a surprise to you.

  Oliver Queen : It's not surprising. We chose the wrong people.

  Curtis Holt : Including me, right?

  Oliver Queen : Curtis, do you know what the purpose of this exercise is?

  Curtis Holt : To figure out the purpose of this exercise?

  Oliver Queen : No, it's to work together, because that's the only way that you win. That is what I have been trying to teach all of you.

  Curtis Holt : Well, maybe there's a reason why you couldn't. We don't trust you.

  Oliver Queen : That's on you.

  Curtis Holt : No man, that's on *you*. Because you don't trust us, because you don't want us.

  Felicity Smoak : Okay, this is a setback, bu the can salvage this. Like... They'll listen to you. Can you just tell them how Oliver usually approaches things and...

  Curtis Holt : I tried that. I told them all about how you and Speedy and Spartan were a family. And even though you were tough and scary and even a little abusive, they clearly trusted you and stood by you. But then it hit me... No they didn't--they left, and now I know why. You don't respect people. You don't know how to have partners. You don't build people up, you tear them down. I thought I could trust you, that *we* could trust you, but I was wrong... And that's why I'm out too.

• Felicity Smoak : You let Church almost kill you so that you could recruit Ragman.

  Oliver Queen : I was betting that his heroism would trump his vengeance.

  Felicity Smoak : That's a big risk to take on a stranger, don't you think?

  Oliver Queen : Yeah, well, not done yet. Hey, are you alright?

  Felicity Smoak : Yeah, fine.

  Oliver Queen : Thank you all for coming.

  Rene Ramirez : I only came 'cause blondie said there'd be an apology.

  Oliver Queen : Well, blondie made a good point... You're not just joining up with the Green Arrow...

  Oliver Queen : [Takes his hood and mask off]  You'd be joining up with me.

  Evelyn Sharp : The Green Arrow is the mayor?

  Curtis Holt : I had the same cognitive dissonance.

  Rene Ramirez : I hope you don't think I'm gonna apologize for the trash I talked about you.

  Oliver Queen : No more than I'm going to apologize for the tough training, but I understand that you all need to trust me. This is as far as I know how to go.

  Curtis Holt : You're sort of asking without asking if we want to come back, right?

  Felicity Smoak : [Beaming with pride]  That's exactly what he's doing.

  Curtis Holt : Okay, good. Then I'm in.

  Evelyn Sharp : Me too.

  Oliver Queen : Wild Dog?

  Rene Ramirez : I'll fight any war long as I trust who's leading me into battle, but we have *got* to rethink this code name.

  Oliver Queen : [They shake hands]  Not a chance.
