Malcolm Merlyn: The predictability was a terrible flaw in the design.Thea Queen: Predictability is your flaw, too. Every time my life starts to suck, you show up.
John Diggle: You got something?Felicity Smoak: Yeah, an apology. I never should've let you think that you could have prevented what happened to Laurel, not even for a second. I was just dealing with my own guilt for not being there.John Diggle: You have nothing to be sorry about, Felicity. If I had listened to Oliver and not trusted my brother, Laurel would be alive.Felicity Smoak: No, you don't know that.John Diggle: Oliver keeps saying the same thing, except I keep going through this over and over again in my head and it-- It's true. Only thing I don't quite get is how I could have been so blind.Felicity Smoak: Well, Andy's your brother, you know? We make exceptions for family.John Diggle: Yeah, and I'm the one constantly telling Oliver not to have a blind spot for family.Felicity Smoak: And here you are, taking the blame for something that's not your fault. You're just one illegitimate child away from a really awesome Oliver Queen impersonation. But just like we tell Oliver, what happened was not your fault, and Laurel would have wanted you to know that.
Save a man's life once, get a silver star. Save it twice, bring a tux.
Please. I know what you're feeling right now, I'm feeling it too, the sense of - of helplessness, of hopelessness. I don't know how we even begin to process what might happen to us right now, but there a few things that I do know, I know that this city has been through tough times before and we have pulled through. We survived the Undertaking. We survived the Siege. We survived the outbreak, and somehow, someway, we will survive this. A friend of mine told me that living in Star City takes a special kind of tenacity, but we do live here, because this is our home. This is our home! It is our friend, our family, our lives. And we will not - we will not throw those precious gifts away by descending into chaos. We will look to each other for hope. We will cling to each other for strength, and it we do that, no matter what happens, that we all can stand here united.
