Quotes 

• Oliver Queen : We all know that we operate better on our own. Now, I would for you to be onboard with this, but if you're not, I would just - I would ask you to stay out of our way.

  John Diggle : Oliver, I will always have your back. But you've giving up on this partnership before you're really giving it a chance, as if you're up against a clock I don't know about. So what don't I know about?

  Felicity Smoak : We're having a baby.

  John Diggle : Really?

  Oliver Queen , Felicity Smoak : Yeah.

  Felicity Smoak : It's a little early. We're not telling anybody yet.

  John Diggle : That's amazing! This is wonderful! It would also explain a hell of a lot.

  Oliver Queen : We don't want a child born into a city like this. Our mission is not complete.

  Felicity Smoak : So we're going to go about this the only way that we know how, without politicians and without a precinct. We're going to do this the Team Arrow way.

  John Diggle : OK, and that would work for a while. And the, uh, then I have to say, we will be right back to where we started, Oliver. Without a team, you in prison, us on the run, and a city no closer to being saved than where we started.

  Oliver Queen : Our partnership with the force is not working.

  John Diggle : Then we have to find a way to make it work. Compromise, do whatever you have to do because if you want a new future for this baby of yours, it won't be come by doing the same thing we used to do. We have to - We have to be something else... Something better.

• John Diggle : I got you something.

  Felicity Smoak : [deadpan]  Gee, you shouldn't have.

  John Diggle : Well, it was the only thing that Lyla said helped her with her nausea. They're ginger candy chews.

  Felicity Smoak : Oh, god. I'll try anything.

• Dinah Drake : James Midas is in SCPD lockup. We got what we need to put him away for a very long time. Thank you for doing it the legal way.

  Oliver Queen : Thank you for letting us do it our way.

  Rene Ramirez : And for joining us. We missed you, Canary.

  Dinah Drake : I missed her, too. Thank you for reminding me of that.

  Felicity Smoak : Wait. Why do I get the feeling the Canary flight was a one-night-only kind of thing?

  Dinah Drake : I'll be back in the field, just, uh... without my Cry. When my nerve was ruptured, it created lasting damage.

  Oliver Queen : I'm... I'm sorry, Dinah.

  John Diggle : Well, Dinah, Cry or no Cry, you are the Black Canary. You proved that tonight.

• Dinah Drake : You know what else we did tonight? We forced Pollard's hand. I leveraged her relationship with Midas to convince her to sign off on creating a special vigilante task force. We're still sanctioned by the SCPD, but we're operating as our own unit out of the Bunker in our suits.

  Oliver Queen : And the anti-vigilante law?

  Dinah Drake : It's on her desk for repeal. She's gonna sign it.

  Rene Ramirez : So we're like the black ops for the SCPD now? That's cool.

  John Diggle : I'm just glad we're all back. It feels right.

  Oliver Queen : I'll second that. It's nice to be part of a team again.

• Sergeant Bingsley : Did you not listen to anything I said in training? Following protocol is not optional.

  Oliver Queen : Your protocols are flawed.

  Sergeant Bingsley : That's not the problem. The problem is your refusal to participate in our system.

  Rene Ramirez : We don't need a lecture on how to handle ourselves on the field.

  Oliver Queen : Clearly, there was a miscommunication.

  Sergeant Bingsley : Is that what you call it? I call it a disaster!

  John Diggle : Okay, we just need to simmer down...

  Sergeant Bingsley : Because of you, we have no evidence! Without the evidence, we'll be lucky to put them away for a year. How we do things matters!

  Oliver Queen : Then you're doing things the wrong way!
