Tommy Merlyn: You can just say thank you, you know.

Tommy Merlyn: I'm learning you're not much of morning snuggler.

Cyrus Vanch: Time's running out, and still no visit from your friend. I might have overestimated his fondness for you.
Laurel Lance: Assault with intent and kidnapping. You're gonna rot in prison for life this time.
Cyrus Vanch: That's assuming your hooded BFF saves you. And his chances of survival are not so great. He's going up against armed men with their fingers on the trigger of guns that fire up to six hundred rounds per minute. Now, I'm no Einstein, but that is a lot of bullets. And even if he were to take them out, I have two sharpshooters on the roof. And even if he were to get by them, what's he gonna do against the veritable army of sons of bitches that I've got waiting for him? Now, as I said, I'm no Einstein, but I can count to twenty-four. And in case you're wondering, I was, so I studied up on my news footage; twenty-four is the exact number of arrows he carries in his quiver and fléchettes around his forearm.
Cyrus Vanch: Lose the bow, Merida.

We buried an empty coffin. because her body was at the bottom of the ocean where you left her. it should have been you.
Oliver Queen: I know it is too late to say this but I am sorry.

Sara Lance: I know you have a lot of questions.
Laurel Lance: Nope.
Sara Lance: How could you not have any questions?

Quentin Lance: Baby, don't to this...
Laurel Lance: Dad, I swear, if you say one more word.
Sara Lance: Laurel, look, I know you're angry. And you have every right to be. Please don't take this out on Dad. If you need someone to blame, blame me.
Laurel Lance: Oh, I do blame you, Sara. Every single thing that's gone wrong with our lives is your fault. You got on that stupid boat with my boyfriend. You didn't call us to tell us that you were still alive, even though it probably would have saved Mom and Dad's marriage. And you brought some crazy assassin into Starling City who nearly killed Mom and poisoned me. You. You stole my whole life away from me. Now get out.

Sara Lance: Laurel, look, I know you're angry. And you have every right to be. Please don't take this out on Dad. If you need someone to blame, blame me.

Laurel Lance: I would hope not.
Kate Spencer: Unfortunately, Adam was not authorized to offer you your job back. I'm sorry. But nothing has changed.
Laurel Lance: Yes, it has.
Kate Spencer: Excuse me?
Laurel Lance: You are going to rehire me, Kate. Unless you feel like explaining to the press that your own assistant district attorney was the brilliant mastermind behind tonight's hostage crisis.
Kate Spencer: Welcome back. I have to say, I am impressed. I would have thought blackmail was a little dark for you.
Laurel Lance: Someone recently told me, once you let the darkness inside, it never comes out.

Slade Wilson: Don't worry. I'm not here to harm you.
Laurel Lance: Go to hell!
Slade Wilson: All in good time, I'm sure. But before then, I have come to Starling City to see Oliver Queen suffer.
Laurel Lance: Oliver... what? Why?
Slade Wilson: Because he's not the man you think he is.
Laurel Lance: And how would you know that?
Slade Wilson: Because I know Oliver Queen is... the Arrow.

Laurel Lance: You thought about telling me... the night of the undertaking.
Oliver Queen: I thought about telling you almost every night.
Laurel Lance: Why didn't you? Tommy knew. Didn't he? You were with him. You were with him at the end.
Oliver Queen: His last words were about you. He wanted to know if you were safe. Sorry I couldn't save him. And my mother. But I can save you. And Thea. I can save the city if this ends tonight.
Laurel Lance: No. No! You can't commit suicide, Ollie. You won't do that to me. Or to Sara, or to your friends. Or to Thea. Oliver... She just lost her mother. Losing you would destroy her.
Oliver Queen: But she'll be alive.
Laurel Lance: I don't know about hoods and masks or human weapons or any of this. But I know you. I know you like I know my own name. And I realize it may sound crazy in light of your secret, but I know who you are in your bones, Oliver. And that person - that person doesn't give up. That person, he always finds a way.
Oliver Queen: Not this time.
Laurel Lance: You're wrong. You want to protect the people who you love? Then the only way to do that is to stop Slade Wilson.
Oliver Queen: Laurel, I can't!
Laurel Lance: Yes, you can! By stopping Sebastian Blood, because Sebastian is working for Slade Wilson.
Laurel Lance: I have proof. Slade Wilson killed your mother so Sebastian could become mayor.
Oliver Queen: You were right about him. The man in the skull mask works for for Slade Wilson. And this entire time, it was Sebastian.
Laurel Lance: What's happening is bigger than you and Slade. The city needs the Arrow.

Sara Lance: You don't know, Laurel, about me. About who I am, and who I've become.
Laurel Lance: I know you're a hero.
Sara Lance: I'm not a hero... Laurel. I'm the furthest thing from it. I am "Ta-er Sah-fer." That was my new name. Because of the woman that I was, the girl that I was, was gone.
Laurel Lance: I'm not going to pretend that I've been through anything that you have. But one thing that I've learned in the past year is that these things... they don't break us. They make us who we are.
Sara Lance: And what I am... is irredeemable.
Laurel Lance: What was that word you said before?
Sara Lance: Ta-er Sah-fer.
Laurel Lance: What does that mean?
Sara Lance: It means "The Canary".
Laurel Lance: If you're so far gone and so irredeemable... then why would they know you by such a beautiful name?

Nyssa al Ghul: You have my condolences. And that of my father, Ra's al Ghul.
Laurel Lance: I don't want your condolences. And I definitely don't want your fathers. She died with arrows in her chest. Did you think that would have happened if she hadn't met you? You were the one who that showed her the darkness inside. You, and your father.
Nyssa al Ghul: I know you grieve. But so do I. I didn't show Sara the darkness, Laurel. It was already inside of her when we met. When I found her, alone, starving and terrified, I protected her. I took Sara into my heart and loved with all my soul. And that jacket... I gave it to Sara as a gift. You are not fit to wear it.
