John Diggle : Of course, life will go on. It always does. But how? What twists and turns it will take I can't say. I don't know what the future holds... except to say expect the unexpected. Oliver may be gone, but his mission endures. That mission lives on, Oliver lives on, in the people he inspired. Some will take that mission to the rest of the world. Maybe even beyond that. Because if the past eight years has shown us anything, it's that this universe is far bigger than any of us could have dared imagine... even if it is a little less bright without him in it.

John Diggle : [using the Salmon Ladder] Hoo. You know, I actually should have tried that sooner. It's not that hard, actually.
Rene Ramirez : That's because your arms are the size of telephone poles.
-
Rene Ramirez : [leaving the bunker for the last time] I'm gonna miss this place.
John Diggle : We all will.
-
John Diggle : Prochnost.
Roy Harper : Ugh. I didn't know you spoke Russian.
John Diggle : No. That's what Oliver used to say every time he drank this stuff.
Dinah Drake : What exactly is this stuff?
Rene Ramirez : Vodka.
Roy Harper : Yeah. It tastes like turpentine.
Dinah Drake : With faint hints of nail polish remover.
Roy Harper : So what's the plan?
Laurel Lance : I plan on getting as drunk as humanly possible.
-
John Diggle : At least bring me for backup.
Oliver Queen : How many times are we gonna go over this, Diggle?
John Diggle : You know, I went through Byrne's financials. Every month, he gives over a million dollars to this outfit called Black Armada. You know who they are?
Oliver Queen : Private security firm. Former Special Forces.
John Diggle : That's right, and you don't think it's a good idea to bring a former soldier of your own?
Oliver Queen : No.
John Diggle : You know what I think? I don't think you really want me there.
Oliver Queen : Oh. Thanks for finally getting my point.
John Diggle : I don't think you want me there because you're afraid I will stop you from committing cold-blooded murder.
Oliver Queen : You think your role is to keep the body count low.
John Diggle : There's a way you can stop him tonight without killing him. You could take him to prison, you could see that justice is served.
Oliver Queen : The man traffics in human beings. Killing him is justice.
John Diggle : But at what cost? You say your mission will never end. Well, trust me, it will end a lot sooner if you lose who you are.
-
John Diggle : What's this?
Oliver Queen : The next name on the list.
John Diggle : John Byrne. What's the CEO of a beer company have to do to deserve an arrow between the eyes?
Oliver Queen : Well, the company is a front. He's using his trucks to ferry a very different type of commodity.
John Diggle : Drugs?
Oliver Queen : People.
John Diggle : Human trafficking? Where does this end? How many names are on your list?
Oliver Queen : Too many to cross off. Listen, Diggle. This doesn't end. The mission is never over.
-
John Diggle : Finally. What the hell happened?
Oliver Queen : Jimmy Tarallo gave me a few problems.
John Diggle : And by a few, you mean a dozen men armed with knives?
Oliver Queen : No. I mean 22 with machetes.
John Diggle : Queen, you shouldn't be doing this alone.
Oliver Queen : You're not ready to go into the field, Diggle.
John Diggle : Yeah? Well, when I signed on, I told you I was here to keep the body count low. That includes you.
Oliver Queen : Well, I'm fine.
John Diggle : And Tarallo?
Oliver Queen : A little less so.
-
John Diggle : If you still think Oliver's mission's finished, tell that to William when we get him back.
Dinah Drake : We will get him back. But, John, William was kidnapped outside of Star City.
John Diggle : I'm sure that will make him feel a whole lot better.
Dinah Drake : I reached out to Felicity.
John Diggle : Yeah, me, too. Radio silence. I asked Sara to check on her.
Felicity Smoak : [entering] Ah. I haven't seen this many people down here in a while.
-
John Diggle : Byrne didn't really have a good night, did he?
Oliver Queen : He had a better night than you think. He's being arraigned in the morning.
John Diggle : Hmm.
Oliver Queen : Plenty of people in this book that deserve to die, plain and simple, but probably not everyone. Let's consider Mr. John Byrne to be proof of concept.
John Diggle : That people can be redeemed?
Oliver Queen : That one day I'll be able to trust you.
-
Rene Ramirez : Hey, hey.
John Diggle : Hey, man. You all right?
Rene Ramirez : Everything good. Why do I get the sense that answer disappoints you?
-
Lyla Michaels : [searching for William] Damn it!
John Diggle : What?
Lyla Michaels : He's not here.
John Diggle : Curtis said there's a bunch of places he could still be.
Lyla Michaels : Well, we need to find him.
John Diggle : We will.
Lyla Michaels : We *have* to find him, Johnny.
John Diggle : We will, Lyla. Are you okay?
Lyla Michaels : Oliver put our family back together. What happens if... if we can't do the same for his?
John Diggle : Lyla, look at me. We can, and we will, I promise. We will.
-
Rene Ramirez : So when's Felicity get to town?
John Diggle : I don't know if she's coming.
Rene Ramirez : It's her husband's funeral, man.
John Diggle : Which is exactly why I think she might miss it. I don't know, Rene. She has a nanny watching Mia right now. Felicity hasn't even made it out of bed. I have no idea how to help her.
-
Rene Ramirez : Lance's term ends in April. He's endorsing me to replace him.
Roy Harper : As mayor?
Rene Ramirez : No, as a bald guy with an attitude. Yeah, as mayor. What about you, D?
Dinah Drake : Mayor, uh... for now at least, Lance actually just offered me a promotion to Chief of Police.
John Diggle : Guys, look. I know how this looks. I just don't feel like this is over.
Dinah Drake : Yeah. You're not reading the same comstat reports I am.
John Diggle : We're a month out of this Crisis, Dinah, and there's tons that we don't know. But what I do know is this: though Oliver's gone, his mission is far from over.
-
Dinah Drake : I think we're all still trying to process it. Not only Oliver's death... but what he leaves behind.
Rene Ramirez : It's a hell of a legacy. Not just a city of heroes, a world of heroes.
Marcia Pedowitz : When I started this project, it was intended to explore the history and the pitfalls of vigilantism in Star City. I never thought this documentary would have to be retooled to be a memorial.
John Diggle : Nothing really ever, um, happens the way you expect it to happen, and that was, uh, certainly the case with Oliver and his mission. He always said he would go it alone, and that the mission would never... be over. I'm glad he was... wrong about the first part... heartbroken he was wrong about the second.
-
Rene Ramirez : So... you're moving on. So what's next for you?
John Diggle : Lyla accepted a promotion in Metropolis, so we're all gonna move there after the funeral.
Dinah Drake : So am I. I'm not gonna take the promotion. Just no point being police in a safe city, and there are lots of cities that still need saving.
Rene Ramirez : Damn, and here I am getting to be elected in a few months, and you guys decide to move away. Kind of hard not to take that personally.
John Diggle : Don't worry, Rene. You are gonna be a great mayor, because you're a great man.
Rene Ramirez : I learned from the best.
Dinah Drake : Oliver.
Rene Ramirez : And the two of you.
-
John Diggle : Thank you all for coming, some on very short notice. Oliver made the ultimate sacrifice for his friends and his family. Now a part of his family needs our help. This is our most important mission. Suit up.
-
Rene Ramirez : Dig, what's going on?
John Diggle : The end of the line. You were right. The mission's over. Just took me a while to accept that. I think accepting that meant accepting that Oliver was really gone. You know, Sara said that before Oliver died that he became something else. I'd like to think that somehow, someway, he's still here.
Rene Ramirez : I'd drink to that.
Dinah Drake : As long as it's no more of that god-awful vodka.
-
Felicity Smoak : That's... Mia.
Sara Lance : Must be a lot to take in.
Felicity Smoak : Yeah. That's the... understatement of the millennium. She became a hero.
John Diggle : Well, she had good parents.
Sara Lance : Do you... you want to meet her?
Felicity Smoak : I don't know. She... she might be here, but she's... she's also at home, waiting for me, and I get to see her grow up. I'm not sure I want to rush that.
