Quotes 

• Felicity Smoak : How'd things go with Oliver? Is he OK?

  Laurel Lance : He's fine. He hates me, he thinks I'm a monster, and he doesn't want my help, but he's fine.

  Felicity Smoak : Oh. OK. Listen. I mean, prison's obviously been rough on Oliver. I mean, that's the whole point of prison. Duh! But he doesn't know the new you. I mean, he just knows the old, scarier, murdery version of you.

• Felicity Smoak : Why do bad guys always pick the creepiest places?

  Laurel Lance : Oh, wait, was that a serious question?

  Felicity Smoak : Well, I mean, you used to be a bad guy - well, gal - so I figured you'd know.

• Rene Ramirez : This doesn't look like official D.A. business.

  Laurel Lance : Did we have to invite him?

  Rene Ramirez : Are you two, like, friends now?

  Felicity Smoak : It's a long story. But the punchline is that the Silencer and Diaz are inside, which means we're finally gonna get a chance to bring them down.

  Rene Ramirez : And you know this how? Oh, wait. Let me guess. Long story.

  Felicity Smoak : Can we just leave it at that? So, are you in?

  Rene Ramirez : [cocking his pistol]  You really gotta ask?

• Laurel Lance : We planted a tracker on the Silencer's belt. Obviously, Diaz must have found it and is using it as bait against us.

  Dinah Drake : How did you manage that? You were nowhere near the Silencer at the CDC.

  Curtis Holt : That thing at the CDC was you guys?

  Rene Ramirez : Uh, Felicity wasn't near her. I was. We snuck her out together.

  Dinah Drake : So you two captured the Silencer?

  Rene Ramirez : But Felicity and Laurel were the ones that tortured her.

  Laurel Lance : Actually, I convinced her not to. You're welcome.

  John Diggle : [to Felicity]  So now you're working with Laurel?

  Laurel Lance : I'm standing right here.

  Dinah Drake : To be fair, she did help shut down that illegal psychiatric program at Slabside.

  Rene Ramirez : Wait. Hold on a sec. You're gonna give me crap about working with the new Green Arrow, and meanwhile, you're siding with the Black frickin' Siren?

  Laurel Lance : Again, still here.

  Felicity Smoak : [to Rene]  You're working with the new Green Arrow?

• Laurel Lance : This is Oliver Queen's current condition. He has been psychologically tortured, harrassed, and assaulted. Upon information and belief, Mr. Queen also had the opportunity to escape Slabside, but instead smuggled information out to help his fellow inmates.

  Judge Napier : And you feel these things should negate his conviction?

  Laurel Lance : Yes. Oliver Queen made a deal with the FBI to protect his city, but the FBI failed to hold up their end of the bargain. Meanwhile, Diaz has continued to commit numerous other crimes, and nearly succeeded in murdering Mr. Queen's wife and child while they were in federal witness protection.

  Judge Napier : Anything further, Ms. Lance?

  Laurel Lance : Your Honor, the hardest thing to do is to be a hero when no one expects you to be. The easier path is to be a criminal. The past six months, Oliver Queen has chosen the hard road and has been a hero in terrible conditions. And since the FBI has not held up their end of the deal, Oliver Queen deserves to be a free man.

• Dinah Drake : Hey, Laurel. You look a little upset. Why don't we go cool off?

  Laurel Lance : Get out of my way.

  Dinah Drake : It seems like you were about to open your mouth and do something you're going to regret, counselor.

  Laurel Lance : I'm not an attorney, as you've reminded me many times.

  Dinah Drake : You sure looked like one in that courtroom today.

  Laurel Lance : Yeah, well, it doesn't matter, does it? Oliver's not getting out of prison. Now if you don't mind, I have some unfinished business with that judge.

  Dinah Drake : Did you even bother to listen yourself in court? You spoke from your heart. Yeah, big surprise, by the way, you do have one. You said the hardest thing to do was to be a hero when no one expects you to be; the easier path is to be a criminal.

  Laurel Lance : What do you care, anyway? If anybody knows the true me, the real me, it's you.

  Dinah Drake : You know, you've been telling people for six months now you've changed. It wasn't until I saw you in that courtroom that I actually believed it. Do not throw that away just because it's getting hard now.

• Laurel Lance : No, you don't wanna do this, trust me.

  Felicity Smoak : Yes, I do!

  Laurel Lance : No, you don't! We need him to help Oliver.

  Felicity Smoak : What do you mean?

  Laurel Lance : I made a deal with the feds. A trade. Diaz for your husband. If Oliver agrees to assist him with his case against Diaz, he'll be a free man again.

  Felicity Smoak : Oliver's coming home?

  Laurel Lance : Yeah.

• Oliver Queen : What do you want?

  Laurel Lance : Try sounding a little bit more grateful, Ollie. I had to file an emergency motion just to get in here to see you. And it's a good thing that I did, because you look like crap.

  [taking pictures of his injuries] 

  Laurel Lance : Just need to document...

  Oliver Queen : Hey!

  Laurel Lance : ...your injuries really fast.

  Oliver Queen : What are you doing?

  Laurel Lance : We got the Level Two psych records from wherever, or whoever, you had sneak them out of Slabside; how did you do that, by the way?

  [before he can say anything] 

  Laurel Lance : No, no, no. Never mind. Don't tell me. It's better for your case if I don't know.

  Oliver Queen : What do you mean "my case"?

  Laurel Lance : Your case.

  Oliver Queen : Wait. What, are you working with Jean Loring?

  Laurel Lance : No. I'm working with your wife.

  Oliver Queen : Felicity would have told me if she was working with you. And the only reason that you would ever help me, or anyone, is if there was something in it for you.

  Laurel Lance : That's not true.

  Oliver Queen : Yes, it is. You're the reason that Diaz got away in the first place. Do you remember?

  Laurel Lance : You know, the Ollie I knew, he had a hard time taking responsibility for his failures, too.

  Oliver Queen : You know what's amazing? You're nothing like her. So go ahead, and pretend to be Laurel, my Laurel, for as long as you want. You never will be, ever. Stay away from my wife.
