Arrow, Season 2

Oliver:
The city still needs saving. But not by the Hood. Or some vigilante who's just crossing names off a list. It needs something more.

Diggle:
It needs a hero, Oliver.

Felicity:
It's too bad The Hoods kind of ruined your nickname.

Oliver:
No, it's good. I don't want to be called The Hood anymore.

Diggle:
Okay. So what do you want to be called? [close up of the green arrow on the shaft]

Thea:
What happened? Are you hurt?

Roy:
Fender bender.

Laurel:
He totaled his car playing Hood Junior.

Roy:
At least it wasn't my car.

Felicity:
Did you know I went to M.I.T.? Guess what I majored in? Hint - Not the secretarial arts.

Oliver:
Felicity! We all need to have secret identities now. If I'm going to be Oliver Queen CEO, then I can't very well travel down 18 floors every time you and I need to discuss how we spend our nights.

Felicity:
And I love spending the night with you. 3, 2, 1. I worked very hard to get where I am, and it wasn't so I can fetch you coffee.

Diggle:
Well, it could be worse. My secret identity is his black driver.

Oliver:
Ms. Smoak. Would you get my guest and I some coffee?

Felicity:
You know, I would Mr. Queen, but it seems that someone has broken the coffeemaker. Violently.

China:
They still won't see you as anything more than the enemy. You'll never be anything but a criminal to them. Which means you'll never be a hero.

Arrow:
As long as this city is safe, it doesn't matter.

Shado:
No island, no place, can make you something you're not.

Oliver:
So I've always been a killer?

Shado:
Everyone has a demon inside of them. The "dao de jing" recognizes the yin and the yang, opposing forces inside all of us. The darkness and the light. The killer and the hero.

Quentin:
What the hell are you doing? I thought you were done killing people!

Arrow:
He'll live.

Quentin:
Yeah, but he'll report me to my lieutenant!

Arrow:
He won't talk to anyone.

Quentin:
What makes you so sure?

Arrow:
Because he has another shoulder. [digs the arrow deeper into Tony Daniel's shoulder]

Quentin:
So how did you get the charges dropped?

Laurel:
Your friend Pike and I have been working together on the anti-vigilante task force. Do you remember?

Quentin:
Hmm. Last year you were working with the Arrow. What a difference a few months makes.

Laurel:
The Arrow?

Quentin:
Yeah. Seems more appropriate than the Hood.

Sebastian Blood:
Sooner or later, we all go through a crucible. I'm guessing yours was that island. Most believe there are two types of people who go into a crucible. The ones who become stronger from the experience and survive it, and the ones who die. But there's a third type. The ones who learn to love the fire and choose to stay in their crucible because it's easier to embrace the pain when it's all you know anymore.

Oliver:
Hey.

Laurel:
Please do not ask me if I'm okay, because I'm sick to death of everyone asking me that.

Oliver:
I would never do that.

Laurel:
Good.

Oliver:
You okay?

Sin:
You have family in Starling?

Sara Lance:
Yeah. My father, he's a - he's a policeman. And my sister, she's a lawyer.

Sin:
Well, they must be proud of their masked delinquent.

Sara:
Yeah, they think I'm dead.

Sin:
Oh, cool. My folks think I'm dead, too. That, or they wish I'd never been born.

Diggle:
You know, Oliver, somebody once told me that secrets have weight. The more you keep, the harder it is to keep moving.

Oliver:
You see how hard I work out.

Assassin:
Guns' are a coward's weapon. What are you without your sidearm?

Quentin:
[shoots assassin] A guy with a spare.

Sara:
Dig, you may be a three-tour special forces veteran, but I was trained by the people that make the special forces look like a kindergarten class so step aside, or be put down.

Diggle:
It's your funeral Sara.

Sara:
It wouldn't be my first.

Diggle:
Who are you people? NSA? CIA?

Amanda Waller:
My name is Amanda Waller.

Diggle:
I thought you A.R.G.U.S. guys were supposed to be more subtle.

Amanda:
For us, this was subtle.

Diggle:
Then I want to see Lyla Michaels.

Amanda:
So do I. Agent Michaels has gone dark.

Diggle:
Lyla's missing? What happened?

Amanda:
She was running down a lead in Moscow. She's missed two of her scheduled call-ins.

Diggle:
What are you doing about it?

Amanda:
Speaking to you. Even if we knew where in Russia Lyla is, my superiors believe sending in an extraction team could cause an international incident. As far as they're concerned, she's already framed a picture on our lobby wall.

Diggle:
Why are you telling all me of this?

Amanda:
Because I know how you and Oliver Queen spend your nights.

Felicity:
This is Knyazev's man inside the prison. A guard.

Oliver:
He'll know where in the Gulag Lyla is being held.

Felicity:
When all hell breaks loose, you need to meet us at the rendevous point with Lyla, or...

Diggle:
Or I'm a permanent Russian.

Felicity:
What were you thinking?

Oliver:
What?

Felicity:
Over 64 million woman over the age of consent in Russia and you sleep with her.

Oliver:
So we're not doing the "What happens in Russia stays in Russia?"

Felicity:
We're still in Russia.

Deadshot:
If I say she's in there, what's keeping you from shooting me?

Diggle:
Honor. You should try it sometime.

The Count:
You should know I find post-hoc negotiations distasteful.

The Count:
Quiet please, I'm threatening!

Felicity:
Vertigo! Gotcha!

The Count:
That's funny, you took the words right out of my mouth.

Merlyn:
There are parts of the world where death is an illusion, I've been to one. I've learned to be very convincing.

Felicity:
Mrs. Queen, welcome back to the company.

Moira:
Thank you.

Felicity:
You look fabulous. Really, better than ever. Did you do something to your hair?

Moira:
Yes. I shampooed it without eight woman and a guard watching me.

Felicity:
[giggles] Is it okay to laugh? Because I was ordered not say anything about you being in prison just to avoid any awkward exchanges.

Oliver:
Like that one.

[Merlyn enters the Queen Manor]

Moira:
And I thought it couldn't hurt to add extra security guards.

Merlyn:
It hurt them. [tosses guns to the floor] Badly. Have you prepared Thea?

Moira:
No. You will not go near Thea, you will not speak to her and you will never set foot in this house again.

Merlyn:
I set you free, Moira. Your life belongs to me.

Moira:
I am through being afraid of you.

Merlyn:
You think you can stop me? Even the vigilante couldn't kill me.

Moira:
No, he couldn't. But I know someone who can. Ra's al Ghul.

Merlyn:
How do you know that name?

Moira:
Well, I didn't. Until you mentioned Nanda Parbat. The League of Assassins, however twisted their aims, believes very deeply in a code of honor. Your undertaking betrayed that code.

Merlyn:
You told Ra's I'm alive?

Moira:
He was so grateful to hear it. Because he so very much wants to kill you himself. So my advice to you, Malcolm... Run.

Arrow:
Who are you?

Cyrus Gold:
Merely a follower.

Arrow:
Of who?

Cyrus:
My brother.

Arrow:
Did he give you the Mirakuru? Did he inject you with it?

Cyrus:
No. He saved me with it.

Oliver:
Roy, this is going to hurt.

Roy:
My anger is dulling the pain.

Sin:
[holding a bottle of vodka] This will dull it better.

Oliver:
Barry. The rat poison that you gave me... are there any side effects?

Barry:
Uh, yeah, I think hallucinations, maybe. And excessive sweating. Are you sweating excessively?

Felicity:
You're hallucinating? What do you see?

Oliver:
A girl named Shado that that was with me on the island.

Felicity:
Shado. Sara. How many women were you marooned with? Are you sure this wasn't Fantasy Island?

Brother Blood:
Brother Cyrus told me he killed you.

Arrow:
Guess he's not as strong as you'd hoped. Where did you get the Mirakuru? Who gave you the formula?

Brother Blood:
It was a gift. A gift I would use to save this city from itself.

Slade:
So your campaign begins.

Blood:
The city needs a leader. And putting the copycat hoods up to assassinating the mayor was just the first step. The vigilante... he destroyed the centrifuge and the serum along with it.

Slade:
I want you to arrange another sample to receive another sample of my blood, and than you can mass produce the serum again. When I ask you not to confront the vigilante, you will listen. Remember your mask, can be worn by another.

Blood:
You know who he is under that hood, don't you?

Slade:
I know exactly who is. He's my friend.

Blood:
That's why you don't want him dead.

Slade:
Death would be a release from this life, and his sentence has yet to be carried out. I'm going to tear everything he cares about away from him. Destroy those who choose to follow him. Corrupt those he loves. Once he has lost everyone and everything he values, I will drive an arrow through his eye.

Shrapnel:
Freedom. Liberty. Justice. To long have the people of this city suffered under the shackles of a corrupt government. Slaves to self-interested politicians and their lobbyist puppeteers. I declare war on them all. [Remotely blows up a building]

Oliver:
How's Barry?

Felicity:
He's still sleeping... I prefer sleeping to coma, because coma sounds, you know, not fun.

Quentin:
You know, most cops they meet their informers in the back seat of a cruiser or maybe a coffee shop or something. What's with the mask?

Oliver:
Gift from a friend.

Quentin:
You've got friends?

Shrapnel:
Drop the bow! I have charges planted all over Starling. I drop this stick, they all blow. Did you just hear what I said?

Arrow:
Yep [Shoots the wire connecting the button to the detonator]

Oliver:
I'm sorry.

Felicity:
Were you apologizing to me or were you talking to your quiver?

Oliver:
I didn't snap at my quiver.

Felicity:
Kind of more than snapped.

Oliver:
I know and I'm sorry.

Felicity:
I understand that this Mirakuru thing has you freaked out and I have been at Central City a lot.

Oliver:
Felicity, it's not that. When you are there, it just makes me realize how much i need you here. At the beginning I was going to do all of this by myself, and now with you and Diggle... I rely on you.

Felicity:
Does that mean I have a shot at employee of the month?

Oliver:
No, because you're not my employee, you're my partner.

Arrow:
Hello Laurel.

Laurel:
You're late.

Arrow:
I had to circle around to make sure there wasn't a SWAT team waiting for me again.

Diggle:
Doesn't exactly mean that Sebastien Blood is the man in the skull mask.

Felicity:
His last name is Blood. That can't be a good sign.

Diggle:
Felicity, he's dedicated his life, risked his life to help the people of the Glades and in his spare time he's a murderer, trying to create an army of human weapons?

Felicity:
You're a personal bodyguard who fights crime at night with his billionaire boss. Not a lot of people show their real face in public.

Felicity:
I have good news and bad news. I suggest the good news first to soften the blow of the bad news. [Oliver stays silent] Okay, dealer's choice.

Felicity:
At least the security cameras are from this century.

Arrow:
Again!

Roy:
You know, I slapped water out of a bowl yesterday. And I slapped water out of a bowl the day before.

Arrow:
You must be getting pretty good at it.

Roy:
Yeah, well I can't wait to get attacked by a dog dish.

Oliver:
We'll find out when we find him.

Sara:
And when we do, you can't tell him.

Oliver:
Tell him what?

Sara:
Don't talk to me like I'm other people. You've got that look on your face. The same one you had after the first time we kissed. Pure guilt.

Oliver:
Because I am guilty, Sara! Ivo killed Shado because of me.

Sara:
That's not true! And even if it was, nothing good comes from telling Slade that you think you're responsible for the death of the women he loved. Love's the most powerful emotion, and that makes it the most dangerous.

Diggle:
How's it going with Roy?

Oliver:
Not well.

Diggle:
I don't know the kid all to well, but he seems to be five kinds of angry.

Oliver:
You might be underestimating. Roy was mad at the world before he was injected with Mirakuru.

Oliver:
You hacked into a prison system network?

Felicity:
Is that judgment I'm hearing?

Oliver:
Pride.

Felicity:
Iron Heights just put out a bulletin for Ben Turner, A.K.A Bronze Tiger, which B.T.W. is a terrible nickname, because tigers are not bronze.

Oliver:
Turner escaped?

Felicity:
He killed ten guards on the way out.

Diggle:
You'd think that would make the news.

Felicity:
Iron Heights does better at keeping secrets than it does at keeping prisoners.

Arrow:
Now you. Go slowly!

[Roy starts punching the pole quickly]

Arrow:
Stop! This is not about learning to throw a punch! This is about learning to control your strength.

Roy:
First water slapping. Now this. When are you gonna run out of ways to make me looks STUPID?!? [Punches and breaks the pole] All I'm learning is new ways to get pissed off, and in case you haven't noticed, I'm already pretty good at that.

Arrow:
There is nothing wrong with anger Roy. Anger is energy, but you need to learn to channel it in a positive way.

Sara:
Okay, Laurel, I wasn't trying to be a bitch.

Laurel:
The title of your autobiography.

Quentin:
You never did tell me how you joined up with the Arrow. Where did you two even meet?

Sara:
Vigilante club

Oliver:
Because if half of the stories I've heard about Ra's al Ghul are true and Sara kills his daughter, we all will pay.

Nyssa al Ghul:
[To a dying Sara] If you want to be with your family so badly, they can join you in eternity.

Oliver:
For the past year, I have stood by your side... and I have fought, because I didn't to believe that you were this... monster. And I needed to believe that still had a mother.

Moira:
You do, Oliver. Oliver, I only lied about Thea to protect her from Malcolm.

Oliver:
No, you lied because that is what you do. And that is who you are, Mom. Lies. And now you have made a liar out of me. Because Thea can never find out about Merlyn. And she can never learn the truth about us. Which is that as of right now, we have no relationship. I will keep up appearance for Thea's sake. And publicly I will support your campaign. But privately... you and I are done.

William Tockman:
The strongest of all warriors are these two - time and patience. It's from War and Peace. 14,040 pages. It takes a while, but it's worth the read. Tolstoy knew that patience was the epitome of strength. It takes fortitude to stand still, just as it is a sign of weakness or cowardliness to move when you should of NOT.

Oliver:
Sara, when you come back from the dead you get a party. It's a Queen family tradition.

Laurel:
Are you done?

Oliver:
Yeah, I'm done. I'm done taking the blame and I'm done caring. Why don't you go have a drink. Get wasted. Go to Verdant. I'll pay for it. I have loved you for half of my life but I'm done running after you

Oliver:
Are you sure you don't want to go to the hospital?

Felicity:
Nuh uh. You guys never go to the hospital. Besides, Dig gave me some of those aspirins. Are you spinning?

Oliver:
[whispers to Diggle] Aspirins?

Diggle:
[whispers back] Oxycodone.

Oliver:
Oh.

[After a while]

Oliver:
Diggle had mentioned that maybe you were feeling a little left out.

Felicity:
What? No! I'm just used to being your girl. I mean not your girl... girl... your girl. I know it sounds like the same word but it means something different in my head.

Oliver:
Hey, you will always be my girl Felicity.

Laurel:
Because I realized that, that I went on that boat with you, too. And I've been slowly drowning for all of these years and after every heartbreak or setback or loss, I sank deeper into the dark water. And so when I saw you, so beautiful and so alive, I realized that I'm not those things. Not anymore. So please, please don't hate me Sara. Please.

Dr. Anthony Ivo:
It's harder than it looks, isn't it? Killing an unarmed man.

Oliver:
It seemed pretty easy when you murdered Shado.

Ivo:
I didn't murder her, Oliver.

Oliver:
Ivo, you shot her in the head.

Ivo:
I gave you a choice! You chose Sara. You blame me, but that's because you can't face your own guilt. I loaded the bullets, yes, I pulled the trigger, but you... you aimed the gun. And you hold yourself responsible. Don't you?

Oliver:
Yes. But that doesn't mean I won't kill you.

Slade:
[to Oliver] To kill you now would be a mercy. You cannot die until you have suffered the same way I have suffered, until you have known complete despair, and you will, I promise.

Diggle:
Coffee?

Felicity:
Hot cocoa.

Diggle:
What, no marshmallows?

Felicity:
I'm out.

Amanda:
I don't need you to get the nerve agent out. I need you to get your team in.

Diggle:
My team?

Amanda:
They're designated Task Force X.

Deadshot:
Give me a break, this ain't no task force. Let's call it like it is. Welcome to the Suicide Squad.

Felicity:
Robbery in progress.

[Oliver looks blankly]

Felicity:
Still in the crime fighting business, right?

Lyla Michaels:
This past few months have been amazing. We've done more playing than talking.

Diggle:
That's because, when we talk, we tend to get divorced.

Amanda:
Who do you want to kill more than me?

Oliver:
Slade Wilson is alive.

Amanda:
You killed him. It's not possible.

Oliver:
Everything is possible where Slade is concerned. And I need your help to find him.

Amanda:
I might have something.

Oliver:
What?

Amanda:
There's a new player we've been tracking, a mercenary. He's left a trail of bodies from Macau to Istanbul to Lisbon. A trail that leads right here to Starling. We've been calling him Deathstroke.

Sara:
[to Diggle and Felicity] What do you guys think?

Felicity:
Oh I think if the Huntress shows up you should totally kick her ass.

Laurel:
Helena, you don't have to do this.

Helena:
Yes, I do. Because once you let the darkness inside, it never comes out.

Huntress:
[on seeing Sara] Oliver sure does like to dress up his girls.

Felicity:
Oliver, where are you? Are you okay?

Oliver:
I'm with Lance as Oliver, and he just called the Arrow.

Felicity:
Oh. Oh! It's getting really hard to keep track of who knows whose secret identity.

Helena:
You know, I thought I'd feel different now that he's dead, but I don't. And you always told me that killing him wouldn't change anything. You were right.

Oliver:
But I was wrong, too.

Helena:
About what?

Oliver:
I thought I could help you. To stop you from being a killer, but... I was just starting. And I was a killer, too.

Helena:
And what are you now?

Oliver:
I'm trying to be better.

Oliver:
They're calling you Deathstroke.

Slade:
That's a bit flamboyant. I like it.

Oliver:
With Slade out there, I don't have time for the company.

Felicity:
Well, you have to make time, Oliver. At least three hours. The annual board meeting. There's absolutely zero way that the CEO can avoid being there. And I know it's been a while, so in you case you've forgotten, that's you. Do you remember where you put your business suit? Or do you keep it in a cool glass case, too?

Roy:
I can't just stop thinking what's the worst that can happen if I just told her the truth.

Felicity:
Well, I told a guy the truth and he got struck by lightning. To be fair, probably won't happen again, statistically.

Moira:
[to Oliver]From the moment your children are born you worry what the world might do to them, but you never stop to think what you might do to them, that we can be our worst enemy.

Slade:
Don't worry. I am not here to harm you.

Laurel:
Go to hell.

Slade:
All in good time, I'm sure. But before then, I've come to Starling City to see Oliver Queen suffer.

Laurel:
Oliver? What? Why?

Slade:
Because he's not the man you think he is.

Laurel:
How would you know that?

Slade:
Because I know Oliver Queen is The Arrow.

Felicity:
I'm a bomber. I can't believe I'm a bomber. I wonder if I can list that on my resume of special skills.

Laurel:
I know who the Arrow is.

Quentin:
Don't say another word. Don't say anything. Listen to me, there was a time when I would of sold out my badge to find out his name, you know that. But then I realized I didn't care who he was. In fact, I didn't want to know who he was.

Laurel:
Why not?

Quentin:
Because I knew if I knew who he really was he would become a person, okay? Maybe he has a family, friends, people to care about him, someone with a life. Then he couldn't be what I needed him to be, what this city needs him to be. See, Arrow - the man under the hood isn't important. Can you imagine what it's like to be him? What he has to live with? Day in, day out? What that's gotta be like?

Arrow:
[talking about Roy] Slade, he's just a kid!

Slade:
Who's here only because you pushed him away. You're the one person he looked up to, and for that you crushed his soul.

[Laurel hugs Oliver]

Oliver:
What's this for?

Laurel:
Because you're important to me.

Oliver:
Alright, we need to deal with Slade figure out what his next move is. I know Slade, he is not gonna stop till...

Slade:
[shows up] Welcome home. [beats Sara, Diggle and Oliver] Don't forget who taught you how to fight, kid.

Felicity:
Is the fact that he's lying there freaks me out a little make me a bad person?

Diggle:
Felicity, I don't think there's a force on earth that can make you a bad person.

Moira:
There's only one way this night can end and we both know that, don't we, Mr. Wilson?

Oliver:
Mom!

Moira:
Please tell me both my children will live.

Thea:
Mom! What are you doing?! Mom!

Moira:
Thea, I love you. Close your eyes, baby!

Oliver:
NO!

Slade:
You possess true courage. I am truly sorry you did not pass that on to your son.

Sara:
That's not true. I wanted to kill Roy because that's what I do. That's who I am. I spent six years in the darkness and I looked into the eyes of the devil and I gave him my soul.

Oliver:
I can help you get it back.

Sara:
No. You deserve someone better. You can harness that light that's still inside of you, but I'm not that person and I never will be.

Laurel:
You're really cute when you're mopey.

Oliver:
I'm not mopey.

Laurel:
Mopey's your default Ollie. It's part of your smoldering charm.

Oliver:
I do have smoldering charm.

Oliver:
[talking about Thea] Thanks for taking care of her.

Diggle:
Lucky for me, she's not as good at disappearing as you are.

Felicity:
I don't even know why I'm crying. I didn't even like Moira. Terrible thing to say about someone after they've just died. In my defense, she was not nice. She was diabolical. Not a word you often hear at someone's funeral.

Diggle:
You're not crying for her, Felicity, you're crying for Oliver.

Felicity:
Where is he? How could he not be here?

Diggle:
I don't know...

Isabel Rochev:
If Oliver's smart... He ran back to his island to hide. But maybe he'll attend your funerals.

[Anatoly works on fixing the submarine]

Anatoly Knyazev:
Like riding bicycle. Underwater.

Oliver:
Submarines have torpedoes, right? Can't we blast our way out?

Anatoly:
I can see why you two are made for each other. You like your explosions.

Oliver:
It ends tonight.

Felicity:
How?

Oliver:
I turn myself over to Slade. I end this vendetta.

Diggle:
Oliver, you think this ends with you turning yourself over to Slade?

Oliver:
Yes, I do. After she was gone... he told me that one more person had to die. And then it would end. This ends for Slade when he kills me.

Felicity:
I don't accept that. You shouldn't either. You can't just accept things, Oliver. If I had accepted my life, I would be a cocktail waitress in Vegas like my mother, and I never would have gone to college, and I never would have moved a thousand miles away to work at Queen Consolidated, and I never would have believed some crazy guy in a hood when he told me I could be more than just some IT girl.

Diggle:
Clinton Hogue. I have some questions for you.

Clinton Hogue:
Go to hell.

Diggle:
You sure that's how you want to play it?

Clinton:
You think I've never taken a beating before?

Diggle:
Pal, you're going to wish I beat you.

Felicity:
Hi. I'll be your interrogator.

Clinton:
Is this a joke?

Felicity:
Clinton Hogue. Social security number 306003894.

Clinton:
What the hell's this supposed to be?

Felicity:
Oh, look at this. You have a bank account in the Cayman Islands. Wow. $2 million, quite the little nest egg. But... looks like you just approved a wire transfer of $1 million to a charity here in Starling City. Very generous. What should I do with the rest?

Diggle:
Greenpeace.

Felicity:
Great cause! And they really appreciate support.

Clinton:
You bitch!

Felicity:
Bitch with wi-fi.

Oliver:
You're a good man, Anatoly. If this is goodbye, be safe.

Anatoly:
I will see you soon. You and Sara.

Oliver:
I meant what I said. If we're not back in an hour, you sink the freighter and get yourself home.

Anatoly:
I think maybe I prefer Bahamas.

Quentin:
Lieutenant. Listen to me, these guys, have you seem them? Huh? Have you seen these guys? They do not go down. We gotta call in the National Guard.

Lt. Frank Pike:
That's a call for the mayor. And he hasn't made that yet.

Quentin:
And he won't. Mayor Blood let this happen.

Frank:
What?

Quentin:
Trust me. Blood's behind this.

Frank:
Look, even if I believe you, I don't have that kind of authority.

Quentin:
Well, in an emergency, the chief of police does, so get him on the line.

Frank:
Chief's dead.

Quentin:
Well, then... There's only one more guy to we can call. You're not gonna like it.

Frank:
The vigilante.

Quentin:
The Arrow. Lieutenant, I know he's breaking the law. But what we're up against, it's not about the law. It's about survival. We got masks tearing our city to pieces, and we're gonna need a mask to stop 'em.

Frank:
Make the call.

Sara:
You don't know, Laurel, about me. About who I am, and who I've become.

Laurel:
I know you're a hero.

Sara:
I'm not a hero... Laurel. I'm the furthest thing from it. I am "Ta-er al-Sahfer." That was my new name. Because of the woman that I was, the girl that I was, is gone.

Laurel:
I'm not going to pretend that I've been through anything that you have. But one thing that I've learned in the past year is that these things... they don't break us. They make us who we are.

Sara:
And what I am... is irredeemable.

Laurel:
What was that word you said before?

Sara:
Ta-er al-Sahfer.

Laurel:
What does that mean?

Sara:
It means "The Canary".

Laurel:
If you're so far gone and so irredeemable... then why would they know you by such a beautiful name?

Oliver:
I didn't know, Felicity. Five years ago, I was a completely different person. And I had... no idea that something like this was even... possible. I couldn't have imagined. When you and Diggle brought me back to Starling City, I made a vow to myself that I would never let anything like the Undertaking happen again.

Felicity:
What's happening now is not your fault.

Oliver:
Yes, it is. I have failed this city. Yao Fei. Shado. Tommy. My father, my mother. All that I ever wanted to do is honor those people.

Felicity:
You honor the dead by fighting. And you're NOT DONE fighting! Malcolm Merlyn, The Count, The Clock King, the Triad - everyone who was trying to hurt this city, you stopped them. And you will stop Slade.

Oliver:
I don't know how.

Felicity:
Neither do I. But I do know two things: You are not alone. And I believe in you.

Blood:
As a young boy, I was plagued by nightmares. Every night, I would wake up in a cold sweat, frightened and alone. It was my father's face that haunted me. [Shows his mask] And this is how I saw him. The embodiment of desperation and despair. I made this mask to conquer my fears. And to remind myself why I fight, every day, to give this city's most desperate a chance. All I ever wanted to do was help people, Oliver.

Oliver:
Help me believe. Where's the cure?

Blood:
Slade Wilson will not rest until he honors the promise that he made you.

Oliver:
I won't be so easy to kill once we level the playing field.

Blood:
He's not interested in killing you. Not until he's taken away everything and everyone you love.

Oliver:
After he murdered my mother, he said one more person had to die.

Blood:
Whoever you love the most.

Nyssa:
I'm Nyssa, daughter of Ra's al Ghul. Heir to the demon.

Felicity:
Felicity Smoak. M.I.T. Class of '09.

Deathstroke:
You must have quite a bit of faith in this cure if you've come alone.

Arrow:
We didn't come alone.

[the League of Assassins arrive]

Thea:
If you're going to kill me, just... get over with it.

Merlyn:
Kill you? Why? Because you shot me? I'm glad you did.

Thea:
You're sick.

Merlyn:
Perhaps. How else to explain the fact not a year ago, your brother held to a gun to my face as well.

Thea:
Tommy.

Merlyn:
He lacked conviction. The strength to pull the trigger, but not you, Thea. You are made of iron. You are truly my daughter, and I could not be more proud.

Slade :
Where am I?

Oliver :
As far away from the world as I could get you. Where you can't hurt anyone ever again.

Slade :
That's your weakness, kid. You don't have the guts to kill me.

Oliver :
No. I have the strength to let you live.

Slade :
Oh, you're a killer. I know, I created you. You've killed plenty.

Oliver :
Yes, I have. You helped turned me into a killer when I needed to be one. And I'm alive today because of you. I made it home because of you. And I got to see my family again. But over the past year, I needed to be more... but I faltered. But then I stopped you. Without killing. You helped me become a hero, Slade. Thank you.

Slade :
You think I won't get out of here? You think I won't kill who you care for?

Oliver :
No, I don't. Because you're in purgatory.

Slade :
I keep my promises, kid. I keep my promises! I keep my promises.

Felicity:
Last time I didn't notice; it's actually kind of beautiful here. Don't get me wrong, I'm counting the seconds until we shove off minefield island.

Diggle:
So you think that'll be enough to hold him, A.R.G.U.S.'s super max?

Oliver:
Him and anyone else we send here. This battle may be over, but there will be others. Starting with getting my family's company back.

Felicity:
That's not going to be easy since you're poor now. You're going to have to get a job. If Slade doesn't scare you, that's got to.

Oliver:
Do you know anyone hiring ex-billionaires with superior archery skills?
