John Diggle:
What is this about, Malcolm?

Malcolm Merlyn:
Well, this isn't going to be easy for all of you to believe...

Felicity Smoak:
Because you're a sociopath and a liar.

Malcolm Merlyn:
Be that as it may, this would be much quicker for all of us if we can fast forward through this cynicism and reach the conclusion that I am telling you the truth.

John Diggle:
About what?

Malcolm Merlyn:
Oliver. His allegiance with the League is a charade.

Felicity Smoak:
Why would you even begin to play with our emotions like that?

Malcolm Merlyn:
This plan was born the moment Oliver realized that he had to capitulate to Ra's to save Thea.

John Diggle:
And instead of sharing this plan with us, he trusted you?

Laurel Lance:
The man who had my sister murdered.

Malcolm Merlyn:
Well, I am better practiced in the art of deception. And no offense, none of you are particularly good actors.
