Quotes 

• Felicity Smoak : This is so completely unfair.

  John Diggle : Yeah, seems to be a lot of that going around lately. So, you got Oliver's girlfriend fired?

  Felicity Smoak : He told you? Of course he told you. Well, did he also tell you it was a mistake? I mean, on my part at least.

  John Diggle : Felicity...

  Felicity Smoak : I'm putting the toothpaste back in the tube, okay?

  John Diggle : And how is that going?

  Felicity Smoak : Well...

  John Diggle : Felicity, what's going on with you?

  Felicity Smoak : What do you mean?

  John Diggle : This week it was Oliver's girlfriend. Last month, he tells me you're getting involved in some stuff you shouldn't be involved in?

  Felicity Smoak : Well, that is a matter of perspective considering that that "stuff" helped get *you* out of prison, and General Walker's gunsights.

  John Diggle : What're you talking about?

  John Diggle : [Felicity opens up Pandora files]  Pandora?

  Felicity Smoak : It's a data cache compiled by a group of hacktivists called Helix. They collect electronic dirt on literally billions of people, including General Walker, so when I asked for it to get you off, they... That's a bad choice of words... They gave me the whole package.

  John Diggle : And you're still in bed with these people?

  Felicity Smoak : What? You make it sound like it's a bad thing. Pandora's just a tool.

  John Diggle : [Scoffing]  Sounds to me like this could be a weapon.

  Felicity Smoak : Okay, and is there a problem if it is?

  John Diggle : It depends, Felicity.

  Felicity Smoak : On what?

  John Diggle : On how you use it.

• John Diggle : Hey, Oliver's out of the hospital and headed to City Hall. Any word from Dinah?

  Felicity Smoak : Um, she's at the precinct trying to recover that piece of Vigilante's visor.

  John Diggle : What about you, Felicity? And don't tell me that it's traffic cams; we both know there on autopilot.

  Felicity Smoak : I sent Thea something to sway Councilman Kullens. Apparently, he's the swing vote on Oliver's impeachment.

  John Diggle : Pandora?

  Felicity Smoak : Officially, his wife died in a car crash... Unofficially, she crashed the car on purpose.

  John Diggle : Suicide?

  Felicity Smoak : He used his clout to cover it up, so I'm guessing he's not gonna want it uncovered.

  John Diggle : And you are okay with this, right?

  Felicity Smoak : I think the city needs Oliver to keep being Mayor.

  John Diggle : Felicity, Kullens is not a criminal; he's a human being.

  Felicity Smoak : He's a politician--that's hardly the same thing.

  John Diggle : A human being that went through a very tragic accident... A very private one. Come on, this isn't you.

  Felicity Smoak : Well, it pretty much is.

  John Diggle : [sighing]  Okay, do you know what your superpower is?

  Felicity Smoak : Computers?

  John Diggle : Empathy. Big reflexive, pure empathy.

  Felicity Smoak : Well, maybe I'm fresh out.

  John Diggle : Because of Billy.

  Felicity Smoak : It's a dark world... And for the past four years, I have watched you and Oliver and Laurel and Thea and Roy... I've watched all of you use a little darkness to fight it.

  John Diggle : That's true. Sometimes, we do fight fire with fire, but every time we do, Felicity... Every single time, we risk being burned.

• Curtis Holt : It's working... It's actually tracking the rest of the visor.

  Dinah Drake : Let's take down this SOB.

  Curtis Holt : Without Oliver?

  Felicity Smoak : If Vigilante gets to him, we'll be doing this without Oliver permanently.

  Curtis Holt : [Simultaneously]  Let's suit up.

  John Diggle : [Simultaneously]  Suit up.

  Curtis Holt : Oh... Sorry, I thought since Oliver's gone, I would, probably-- But it makes more sense probably for you...

  Curtis Holt : [Diggle walks off quickly]  I'll make sure I work on the timing there. Promise.

  Felicity Smoak : [Grabbing Curtis' arm and spinning him]  Balls.

  Curtis Holt : My T-Spheres... Don't call 'em "balls".
