- 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 al-Sahfer." 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 al-Sahfer.
- 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?
- Oliver Queen: I didn't know, Felicity. Five years ago, I was a completely different person. And I had... no idea that something like this was even... possible. I couldn't have imagined. When you and Diggle brought me back to Starling City, I made a vow to myself that I would never let anything like the undertaking happen again.
- Felicity Smoak: What's happening now is not your fault.
- Oliver Queen: Yes, it is. I have failed this city. Yao Fei. Shado. Tommy. My father, my mother. All that I ever wanted to do is honor those people.
- Felicity Smoak: You honor the dead by fighting. And you're not done fighting! Malcolm Merlyn, The Count, The Clock King, the Triad - everyone who is trying to hurt this city, you stopped them. And you will stop Slade.
- Oliver Queen: I don't know how.
- Felicity Smoak: Neither do I. But I do know two things: You are not alone. And I believe in you.
- Oliver Queen: Hey. I need you to stay with Roy.
- Felicity Smoak: Okay. Oliver, John - um, maybe this is obvious, but are we sure this isn't a trap?
- Oliver Queen: No.
- Felicity Smoak: I'm just saying, if you guys don't come back alive, I'm going to be really pissed.
- Oliver Queen: You're a good man, Anatoly. If this is good-bye, be safe.
- Anatoly Knyazev: I will see you soon. You and Sara.
- Oliver Queen: I meant what I said. If we're not back in an hour, you sink the freighter and get yourself home.
- Anatoly Knyazev: I think maybe I prefer Bahamas.
- Sebastian Blood: As a young boy, I was plagued by nightmares. Every night, I would wake up in a cold sweat, frightened and alone. It was my father's face that haunted me. And this is how I saw him. The embodiment of desperation and despair. I made this mask to conquer my fears. And to remind myself why I fight, every day, to give this city's most desperate a chance. All I ever wanted to do was help people, Oliver.
- Oliver Queen: Then help me believe. Where's the cure?
- Sebastian Blood: Slade Wilson will not rest until he honors the promise that he made you.
- Oliver Queen: I won't be easy to kill once we level the playing field.
- Sebastian Blood: He's not interested in killing you. Not until he's taken away everyone and everything you love.
- Oliver Queen: After he murdered my mother, he said one more person had to die.
- Sebastian Blood: Whoever you love the most.
- Quentin Lance: Lieutenant. Listen to me, these guys, have you seem them? Huh? Have you seen these guys? They do not go down. We gotta call in the National Guard.
- Frank Pike: That's a call for the mayor. And he hasn't made that yet.
- Quentin Lance: And he won't. Mayor Blood let this happen.
- Frank Pike: What?
- Quentin Lance: Trust me. Blood's behind this.
- Frank Pike: Look, even if I believe you, I don't have that kind of authority.
- Quentin Lance: Well, in an emergency, the chief of police does, so get him on the line.
- Frank Pike: Chief's dead.
- Quentin Lance: Well, then... There's only one more guy to we can call. You're not gonna like it.
- Frank Pike: The vigilante.
- Quentin Lance: The Arrow. Lieutenant, I know he's breaking the law. But what we're up against, it's not about the law. It's about survival. We got masks tearing our city to pieces, but we're gonna need a mask to stop 'em.
- Frank Pike: Make the call.
- Sebastian Blood: I hope you can beat him with this. For all our sakes. And when this is over, I promise you... I will do everything in my power to rebuild Starling City. And I just won't make it what it was. I will make it better. Like I always planned.
- Oliver Queen: You really think after everything that's happened, after what you've done, that they'll still let you be mayor?
- Sebastian Blood: Why not? No one know that I've done anything but try and save this city. And if you tell anyone about my mask, I will tell them about yours.
- Oliver Queen: Do what you have to, Sebastian.
- Sebastian Blood: We had a deal.
- Slade Wilson: And do you feel that I've not lived up to my end of it?
- Sebastian Blood: Those are innocent people. Dying out there. You do not need to kill them.
- Slade Wilson: Yes, I do! I made a promise to someone once, and I will uphold it.
- Sebastian Blood: So this is really all about you just trying to hurt Oliver Queen?
- Slade Wilson: I vowed to him that I would take away everything and everyone he loves. And he loves this city.
- Sebastian Blood: But this city... it's mine, too.
- Slade Wilson: Not anymore. As of tomorrow night, it will be nothing but rubble, ash, and death. A land only good for one thing. Graves.
