- Oliver Queen: Thank you.
- Anatoly Knyazev: Bandages, least I could do.
- Oliver Queen: Not for the bandages, Anatoly. Thank you for giving me the chance to take out Diaz.
- Anatoly Knyazev: What makes you think that's what I was doing?
- [seeing Oliver's look]
- Anatoly Knyazev: Maybe I wanted to see for myself.
- Oliver Queen: See what?
- Anatoly Knyazev: Which one of you had honor. Just like you wanted, no? And you allow yourself to be captured so I bring you to Diaz.
- Oliver Queen: You know, I just thought that I could count on you to be the man I knew. That man was my friend.
- Anatoly Knyazev: Hurry up with bandages. I have plan to get you out of here.
- Dinah Drake: The Quadrant. You know, I heard about these guys when I was working undercover. I never could get anyone to confirm their existence.
- John Diggle: Yeah, well, they are real. Very, very real. We were tracking this one, Cassamento, hoping she would lead us to Diaz.
- Curtis Holt: Yeah, we were hoping the Scorpions would lead us to Diaz, too. Got some intel they were planning a huge thing tonight.
- Dinah Drake: We just figured it was drugs. Turns out it was an ambush. The Quadrant wanted the Scorpions dead.
- Curtis Holt: They wanted us dead, too. It's a good thing you guys showed up when you did.
- Rene Ramirez: You probably want a "thank you" or something, huh?
- John Diggle: What I want is to apologize, Rene. My feelings on how you guys conducted yourselves aside, things got really out of hand. And I'm sorry for the part that I played in it.
- Anatoly Knyazev: [conversing in Russian] Baseball is like chess. Lots of strategy. But you also have to be very strong and fast.
- Bratva #1: That man is fat.
- Anatoly Knyazev: So are you, Maxim. Maybe you should be playing baseball too, eh?
- Curtis Holt: You know, I'd almost forgotten how awesome it is being a team, working together. It's almost like Captain Planet or the Power Rangers, or whatever reference you guys would understand.
- Ricardo Diaz: We had an agreement, if I recall. I put you on the floor, you leave the city.
- Oliver Queen: That assumed a fair fight.
- Ricardo Diaz: Potato, po-tah-to. But I have a certain pang of, uh, conscience. I changed my mind. You can stay in the city... for 25 to life.
- [Oliver looks behind him as patrol cops enter]
- Ricardo Diaz: I'm thinking about moving up your trial.
- [one of the cops whacks Oliver in the knee; he falls to the ground groaning in pain]
- Ricardo Diaz: How's next week for you?
- [another cop handcuffs him]
- Ricardo Diaz: Don't even think about getting bail. I got a lot of friends at the courthouse.
- Rene Ramirez: Every time I think about going out there again, all I can think of is Zoe. What's gonna happen to her if something happens to me?
- Zoe Ramirez: [entering] I'll be fine, dad.
- Curtis Holt: Uh...
- Rene Ramirez: Uncle Curtis and I were just talking about...
- Zoe Ramirez: How you both wear masks and go and fight bad guys? It's way obvious. And you and Dinah talk way louder than you think you do?
- Curtis Holt: Really?
- [whispering]
- Curtis Holt: Really?
- [normally]
- Curtis Holt: Oh, yeah, I can actually hear it. It's pretty loud.
- John Diggle: What's on your mind?
- Rene Ramirez: I can't stop thinking about dying. Middle of the fight, I just froze. PTSD fritz-out. I mean, actually, it wasn't so much about dying as it was about...
- John Diggle: Leaving Zoe without a father.
- Rene Ramirez: Yeah, you get it. You got a kid younger than Zoe. How do you deal with it?
- John Diggle: I don't, man. Not out here. When I put this holster on, I leave "Daddy" home. I put the walls of compartmentalizing up hard, Rene. You've been out of the game for a month; over a month. It'll come back to you. Just give it some time.
- Quentin Lance: I'll be gone in a minute.
- Quentin Lance: Just wait. Listen, back there at my office, I-I... I've never heard you sound so scared. It made me realize you were serious.
- Laurel Lance: Diaz is a monster. You can't even imagine what it's been like.
- Quentin Lance: Okay, back on the Earth where you're from, you got a guy named Damien Darhk, a real son of a bitch.
- Laurel Lance: Yeah.
- Quentin Lance: Well, I worked for him. I did whatever he wanted to keep my Laurel safe. And then when I betrayed him... he killed her.
- [handing her the signed executive order]
- Quentin Lance: What I'm trying to say is I know what it's like to do a bad thing for a good reason.
- Laurel Lance: You signed it.
- Quentin Lance: On one condition. You let me help you get away from this guy.
- Laurel Lance: I've known a lot of bad men. And they've been filled with anger and with hate, but not Diaz. He's not filled with anger inside because he's not even human inside. I watched him burn a man alive over a childhood grudge. If I cross him, what is he gonna do to me?
- Quentin Lance: Well, I'm not gonna let him do anything to you, all right?
- Laurel Lance: Yeah, because you're gonna protect me because you're the mayor. You're not the mayor of anything.
- Quentin Lance: Okay, listen, I'm gonna protect you, because I refuse to let what happened to my Laurel happen a second time.
- Quentin Lance: Are you proud of yourself, huh, turning a father's grief against him? As far as I'm concerned, you're worse than Diaz.
- Laurel Lance: You have no idea what he's capable of.
- Quentin Lance: I know what you're capable of. You can bring walls smashing down. You really expect me to believe that you are scared of a thug like Diaz?
- Laurel Lance: He is so much more than just a thug. And yes. Yes, I am scared. And you should be scared, too. So just sign the damn paper.
- Quentin Lance: I made this so easy for you, didn't I? I-I let you into my home, set you up, the law books, everything. I bet you and Diaz, you must've just loved that.
- Laurel Lance: Hate me all you want. I'm sure I deserve it. But I need you to sign this, or he's gonna kill you.
- Quentin Lance: Now that the daughter act is shot, there's no need for you to be in my home, is there? All right. So when I get home tonight, please, I just... I'd like you to be gone, all right? Please just be gone.
- Laurel Lance: Quentin...
- Quentin Lance: Please get out of here now!
- [she hesitates]
- Quentin Lance: Now!
