Slade Wilson : So instead of marrying the blonde, you marry Ra's al Ghul's daughter?
Oliver Queen : Uh... Nyssa talks too much.
Slade Wilson : She hasn't explained your beef with Chase.
Oliver Queen : My past is coming back to haunt me.
Slade Wilson : Seems to be a recurring theme with you, kid.
Oliver Queen : I don't know why.
Slade Wilson : It's not really complicated. You suffer from survivor's guilt. You can't get over the death of your father.
Oliver Queen : Adrian Chase has nothing to do with my father.
Slade Wilson : Kid, when it comes to you, everything has to do with your father. You and I are not dissimilar. We are both wanted by our pasts, and the only way to bury that ghost is by forgiving yourself.
Oliver Queen : Forgiving myself for what?
Slade Wilson : You blame yourself for your father's suicide and everything else that has gone wrong since. You need to forgive yourself for your sins.
Oliver Queen : You say that like it's easy.
Slade Wilson : It is the hardest thing in this world.

[first lines]
Oliver Queen : The name of the island they found me on is Lian Yu. It's Mandarin for purgatory.
-
Oliver Queen : Curtis worked this up for Dinah. It's gonna control your Canary Cry, but it's also gonna bypass the sonic dampener.
Dinah Drake : Oh, I love that Curtis. This may hurt a bit.
Rene Ramirez : Just sing, canary.
Quentin Lance : Actually... it's Black Canary.
-
Oliver Queen : I have no interest in this being a fair fight.
Nyssa al Ghul : Is that why you released the animals from their cages?
Digger Harkness : Oh, come on, love. That is no way to start a new friendship.
Nyssa al Ghul : Look at me again like that, and I'll feed you your eyes.
Malcolm Merlyn : You're not her type, anyway.

[last lines]
Adrian Chase : You won. Your son has his father back, and he learned exactly who his father was. Just like you learned who your father was, right? Here, on these very same waters.
Oliver Queen : What?
Adrian Chase : William's younger than you were, so he's gonna be fine. And you have each other.
Oliver Queen : What are you saying?
Adrian Chase : Which is good, Oliver. That's good. Because it's gonna be lonely without mom and Felicity.
[he pulls a revolver from his jacket pocket and puts it to his temple]
Oliver Queen : No, wait, Adrian!
[gunshot; after a moment, the bombs Chase planted on the island begin to detonate]
-
Digger Harkness : Why does he get a weapon and I don't?
Oliver Queen : I trust him more than you.
Digger Harkness : Didn't he kill your mother?
Oliver Queen : You listen to me very carefully. You help me take down Chase, you walk. You screw with me even a little bit, and I will put you right back into that hole.
-
Oliver Queen : [handing Felicity a tablet] That's detailed satellite imagery of the island. Again, just in case.
[she kisses him]
Oliver Queen : What was that for?
Felicity Smoak : Just in case.
Oliver Queen : We're gonna make it through this.
Felicity Smoak : You can't know that for sure. I didn't want to regret not kissing you. When it comes to the two of us, I regret enough as it is.
Oliver Queen : Let's talk more about this when we're off the island.
-
Slade Wilson : Would you like to explain what's going on?
Oliver Queen : I'd like to talk to you for a minute. You seem...
Slade Wilson : What, in possession of all my marbles? The Mirakuru wore off a long time ago, kid. I mean, I remember everything that happened. I'm not trying to escape that. I'm not trying to escape that, but it feels like some bad dream. Now, regardless of my sanity, why do you want to help me after everything I've done?
Oliver Queen : There is man here on the island named Adrian Chase. He's holding my friends and my family hostage, including Thea... and my son.
Slade Wilson : Since when do you have a son?
-
Oliver Queen : Slade, are you gonna help me or not?
Slade Wilson : I think I'm stating the obvious when I say I killed your mother, and for that alone you should have killed me.
Oliver Queen : Maybe what's happening now is the reason I didn't.
-
Oliver Queen : The RPG that took out the plane came from over there, and the call from my son originated just west of here.
Digger Harkness : Hostages could be in either place.
Slade Wilson : Or neither. This is a large island.
Malcolm Merlyn : I'll check the RPG site.
Nyssa al Ghul : I'll accompany you.
Malcolm Merlyn : Oh, it's almost like you don't trust me, Nyssa.
Nyssa al Ghul : No. It's exactly like I don't trust you.
-
Adrian Chase : It's all over. But only if you do it. Do it, Oliver, and show everyone - show yourself - who you really are.
Oliver Queen : NO!
[letting him go, he takes Chase's gun and empties the bullet from the chamber, then throws the gun away]
Oliver Queen : That's who I was. That's who I was before! It's not who I am now. You can blame me for your father's death for the rest of your life. I am done blaming myself for mine.
-
Oliver Queen : Right now, we need to focus on finding the others. Where are they?
Evelyn Sharp : I wish I knew so I could tell you to go screw yourselves.
Malcolm Merlyn : Why did Chase split up all the hostages?
Evelyn Sharp : Why does Chase do anything?
[to Oliver]
Evelyn Sharp : So far, he hasn't laid out a single hoop you could keep yourself from jumping through. Maybe leaving me here was part of the plan.
-
Oliver Queen : Where's my son?
Adrian Chase : I love this. Even now at the end, you're still ten steps behind.
Oliver Queen : Where is my son?
Adrian Chase : William? Good name. Sort of a sweet kid, actually. You sure he's yours?
Oliver Queen : ADRIAN, WHERE IS MY SON?
Adrian Chase : If you want to get your son back, you know what you have to do.
Oliver Queen : I know what you want me to do, and I won't do it. I'm not gonna kill you. No matter what you do, that is never going to happen.
Adrian Chase : Never say never.
-
Felicity Smoak : Oliver!
Slade Wilson : Keep your voice down.
Thea Queen : What the hell is he doing here?
Oliver Queen : Where's William?
Samantha Clayton : I don't know. We were separated. Oliver, what is going on?
Slade Wilson : Why are they unguarded?
Digger Harkness : Seems pretty obvious to me, mate.
[Evelyn, Talia, and a pair of her soldiers drop down from the trees behind them]
Digger Harkness : It's a trap.
Talia al Ghul : [Oliver moves to draw an arrow from his quiver] Don't even think it, Oliver. Or your son loses his mother.
Digger Harkness : Oh, and don't worry about that gun, mate. Mr. Chase gave me this nice new one.
[he pulls a gun out of his waistband, cocks it, and aims it at Deathstroke]
Digger Harkness : Along with a better offer.
-
Felicity Smoak : We are not leaving you here.
Oliver Queen : I need to focus, and that means getting you out of harm's way.
[to Evelyn]
Oliver Queen : And despite my better instincts, when this is all over, I will come back for you.
Evelyn Sharp : When this is all over, you'll be dead.
-
Adrian Chase : For an absentee father, your devotion is impressive. You're all worried about your kid when everyone else that you care about's on an island about to get blown up sky high.
Oliver Queen : My friends and my team can take care of themselves.
-
Adrian Chase : I knew it would come to this. Your son is dead, Oliver.
Oliver Queen : I don't believe you. Because you're a liar. You're lying to me to manipulate me into doing what you want. But Adrian, here's the thing. If you're telling the truth... if you killed my son... I am never going to be the person you want me to be. Not ever.
-
Oliver Queen : John, you need to get to the plane and make sure that everybody is safe. Felicity can talk you in.
John Diggle : Oliver, what the hell is going on?
Oliver Queen : Chase has put explosive charges all over the island. You need to get to plane and you leave when you get there.
Rene Ramirez : What are you gonna be doing?
Oliver Queen : I'm going after my son.
Quentin Lance : What if Chase is telling the truth?
Oliver Queen : I don't believe him. I can't believe him. But either way, Adrian Chase is not getting off this island.
-
Adrian Chase : Don't do that. Even if you had a shot, you've already told me that you wouldn't kill me. Or have circumstances finally changed? If I die, everyone you care about dies, except your son. But if you don't kill me, I kill him.
Oliver Queen : [fighting back tears] You son of a bitch.
Adrian Chase : William or everyone else. You choose, right now. Either way, it proves me right, huh? Either way, it's exactly like I told you. Everyone around you, everything you touch, dies.
-
Thea Queen : What the hell are you doing?
Oliver Queen : What do you mean?
Thea Queen : I mean Slade Wilson and Malcolm Merlyn.
Oliver Queen : Thea...
Thea Queen : No. We are orphans because of those two.
Oliver Queen : You know what I'm up against here.
Thea Queen : Yeah, so why are you sending Curtis and me away?
Oliver Queen : Because I neeed the two of you to keep Felicity and Samantha safe. We need to get them off of the island.
Thea Queen : Okay, Curtis can handle it.
Oliver Queen : I can understand if you don't want to go with Malcolm.
Thea Queen : Damn right I don't.
Oliver Queen : And I do not want to rely on Slade Wilson. There's nothing about the situation that's ideal, Thea. I need your help, Speedy, and this is how you help me.
