Quotes 

• Oliver Queen : What?

  Thea Queen : Nothing. It's just... It's shocking that you know who Voldemort is.

  Oliver Queen : Well, I'm not immune to pop culture. I read a few of the "Harry Potter" books.

  John Diggle : Really? I was gonna bet Thea that you just saw the movies.

  Oliver Queen : They were movies?

• John Diggle : Looks like we have ourselves a taller, more dude-like version of Felicity.

• Oliver Queen : [Curtis has found his way into the Bunker]  Forget the how. What are you doing here?

  Curtis Holt : I saw the bee hive on the news. Felicity's in there.

  John Diggle : Yeah, we were just about to mount a rescue operation.

  Curtis Holt : Do you guys even know what that is?

  Quentin Lance : That is an army of robotic bees. Yeah. That's my life now.

• Laurel Lance : What's wrong?

  Thea Queen : Alex has a new job interview... With Ruve Darhk.

  Oliver Queen : What?

  Thea Queen : She's looking for a new Chief of Staff for the April 6th election.

  John Diggle : Oh, I still don't see why you can't just put yourself back in the race, Oliver.

  Oliver Queen : You know, voters... They hate flip-flopping and that would be a pretty big one.

  Thea Queen : I can't let him work for the wife of the prince of darkness.

  Laurel Lance : And what if he got a better offer?

  Oliver Queen : Are *you* gonna run for mayor?

  Laurel Lance : Palmer Tech. They're hiring a new head of public relations.

  Oliver Queen : Ah.

  Laurel Lance : I just heard that... from someone...

  Oliver Queen : Laurel, she's not Voldemort, and I'm fine. That's a good idea. You should tell Alex to talk to Felicity.

  Thea Queen : Mmm-hmm...

  Oliver Queen : What?

  Thea Queen : Nothing, it's just... It's shocking that you know who Voldemort is.

  Oliver Queen : Well, I mean, I'm not immune to pop culture; I read a few of the Harry Potter books.

  John Diggle : Really? I was gonna bet Thea that you just saw the movies.

  Oliver Queen : There were movies?

• Oliver Queen : [All training on the mats in the bunker]  Thea, your back foot's sliding out.

  Thea Queen : No, it's not!

  Oliver Queen : Just because you can't see me, doesn't mean I'm not there. You've got to sense my presence even when I'm not in your eye-line.

  John Diggle : What advice would you give to me? Humor me.

  Oliver Queen : You're getting tired, you're dropping your shoulder, and you're opening yourself up.

  Oliver Queen : [Oliver throws him off the mat]  So you took your morning run from six miles to what? Maybe two?

  John Diggle : [Oliver helps Diggle up]  Yeah, well, taking care of a toddler is a marathon in itself. Right, but when you sacrifice your endurance, you're losing steam too early in our sessions. Let's go again.

  Thea Queen : I'll pass. I keep running out of excuses for my new bruises, and they're from *you*, not bad guys.

  Laurel Lance : The streets have gone quiet since we took Darhk off the board.

  Oliver Queen : His organization hasn't been. HIVE is still out there.

  John Diggle : Yeah, and when they rear their head, we'll take care of them, but we have to celebrate our victories. If we don't, we forget what we're fighting for.
