- Laurel Lance: I got a look at the laptop before it got shot up, and there were blueprints on the screen.
- Oliver Queen: So they are gonna take down another building. Felicity?
- Felicity Smoak: I know. The first time we met, the first thing you asked me to do was pull data off a damaged laptop. It's kind of romantic.
- Quentin Lance: How you kept this up for four years, huh... this double life, these secrets, lying? I mean, I...
- Oliver Queen: I'm trying not to live that way anymore. Trying.
- Quentin Lance: You know, in AA we say you're only as sick as the secrets you keep. You're looking pretty healthy these days. Let's just hope I can get back to that place with Donna.
- Oliver Queen: For what it's worth, you're in a tough spot, and you're trying to keep her safe. You know, sometimes a lie isn't wrong if it's for the good of someone that you love.
- Curtis Holt: After my surprise was blown on my gift, I wanted to finish it as soon as possible.
- Felicity Smoak: [Curtis hands her a small, wrapped box] Thanks! We forgot to register for, uh, microchips.
- Curtis Holt: Actually, it's neither micro nor a chip. It's an implantable biostimulant.
- Felicity Smoak: And why would I need an implantable...
- [realization dawns on her]
- Felicity Smoak: ...biostimulant?
- Curtis Holt: For walking.
- Oliver Queen: Excuse me. Curtis...
- Curtis Holt: In a perfect world, it'll work in time for you to walk down the aisle. I mean, but it's pretty cutting edge, so I can't promise anything.
- Felicity Smoak: You're telling me that this little piece of technology's gonna help me walk again?
- Curtis Holt: After it's implanted in your spine, yes.
- Paul Holt: He's been trying to crack it for a while, but he needed a power source; something that would last a lifetime.
- Felicity Smoak: Palmer Technologies' power cell.
- Curtis Holt: Exactly. Once I solved that, I knew this might actually work.
- Felicity Smoak: [getting emotional] Oh, my god. I don't know what to say.
- Oliver Queen: I do. Curtis, you're terrific. Thank you.
- Curtis Holt: [they shake hands] Well, don't thank me yet. Still has to work.
- Felicity Smoak: It'll work. I know it will. You, come with me. We're about to make my mother very happy.
- Felicity Smoak: That was fast.
- Curtis Holt: You sound surprised. I don't know whether to be flattered or insulted.
- Felicity Smoak: I really need you to take a look at these engagement party invites. My mom's been hounding me.
- Oliver Queen: The envelope is very pink.
- Felicity Smoak: I know. Wait! Don't...
- [Oliver opens the invitation and glitter explodes everywhere]
- Felicity Smoak: ...open it.
- John Diggle: Should have totally seen that one coming.
- Felicity Smoak: I'm so sorry. What do you think?
- Oliver Queen: Maybe less glitter.
- Felicity Smoak: You look good in glitter.
- Donna Smoak: [to protect her from Darhk, Quentin wants to put their relationship on hold] My ex-husband was a lying son of a bitch. Only two good things came out of that marriage: my daughter and my B.S. detector, which is flawless, and right now, yeah, it's... it's red-lining.
- Quentin Lance: Donna, please don't be...
- Donna Smoak: Don't Donna... oh, my god. Don't "Donna" me. You know what? This is actually very simple. You either respect me enough to tell me the truth or you don't.
- [Quentin doesn't know what to say]
- Donna Smoak: Clearly you don't.
- Felicity Smoak: Curtis, why is my face on your screensaver?
- Curtis Holt: At the risk of early termination, um... none of your business.
- Felicity Smoak: Curtis!
- Curtis Holt: Please don't ask. I'm, like, super bad with secrets. Okay, it's an early wedding gift, but it's really bad luck if you see it, so stop trying to see it.
- Felicity Smoak: Okay, I think you're getting your wedding traditions confused, but fine, I will let it go. Lucky for you, I have more important concerns.
- [handing him the shot-up laptop]
- Felicity Smoak: I maxed out the computer power in the lair again, and I was hoping maybe your mainframe might have better luck.
- Curtis Holt: I'll do my best.
- Felicity Smoak: [turning to leave] Thank you. Really? Me on a screensaver. Hmm. Whatever this surprise is, it better be good.
- Curtis Holt: Oh, it will be.
- Quentin Lance: Donna called it quits.
- Oliver Queen: Oh. I'm sorry to hear that.
- Quentin Lance: Yeah, yeah, me, too. You're lucky you're with someone you don't need to keep secrets from.
- Oliver Queen: Did Alex call with the new poll numbers?
- Felicity Smoak: Well, Bethany Snow's right. He doesn't have to. Experts are saying that you already won.
- Oliver Queen: Experts aren't the voters.
- Felicity Smoak: Okay. Well, you at least have one voter in your camp.
- [singsong]
- Felicity Smoak: Me!
- Oliver Queen: [kissing her] Only one that matters.
- Laurel Lance: Okay, so clearly we're not gonna find Darhk by tailing his wife.
- John Diggle: Yeah, well, it's not like we have a lot of moves left to make. Darhk has gone, well, dark ever since Machin attacked his family.
- Oliver Queen: But Darhk is not afraid of Machin. He's just... his plan's gone to a new phase.
- Thea Queen: And how do you know that?
- Oliver Queen: Because H.I.V.E. spent months trying to cripple this city's leadership. They discouraged people from running for mayor. They even tried to co-op my candidacy.
- Felicity Smoak: Yeah, then Mrs. Evil threw her hat in the ring.
- Oliver Queen: There has to be a reason. Darhk did not try and destroy Star City so that his wife could be mayor. There's something that we're not seeing.
- Laurel Lance: A 602's breaking and entering. Why would they need backup in the form of a police captain?
- Quentin Lance: I told you. We're shorthanded. Don't worry. It's not a job for Black Canary.
- Oliver Queen: Can you hack the fire alarm? We need to evacuate the building.
- Felicity Smoak: It's an old system--it might take me a minute.
- Thea Queen: [Fire alarm goes off. They both look at Thea, who just pulled the fire alarm] Yeah, I learned that in high school.
- Oliver Queen: [Referring to debate questions] You pretty much nailed them all...
- Oliver Queen: Stop sounding so surprised, please.
- Thea Queen: Well, you did spend your education nailing chicks, not doing social studies.
- Thea Queen: Why didn't you tell me you went to college with Samantha Clayton?
- Oliver Queen: I was with Samantha Clayton while I was dating Laurel, and I'm not proud of that, so...
- Thea Queen: So why did mom pay her a million dollars?
- Oliver Queen: Thea, I told you, mom is...
- Thea Queen: Ollie, I um... I looked her up. Right after you guys broke up, she moved to Central City. She's got a son named William... Who's about as old as that check is.
- Oliver Queen: Okay, Thea.
- Thea Queen: When we were in Central City, I knew something was bothering you, and I knew it just wasn't Vandal Savage. I mean, now it makes sense. William's your son, isn't he?
- Thea Queen: Yes, he is.
- Thea Queen: Why haven't you told anyone?
- Oliver Queen: Because Samantha said that the only way I could see him is if I promised not to tell him, or anyone else, that I'm his father.
- Thea Queen: God, that is... That is brutal. Are you okay?
- Oliver Queen: I thought I was doing okay. I spent a lot of time convincing myself that I was... That I was trying to do the right thing, but then, you know, you brough this--the thing with the check--and I'm not... It's not your fault, but it's... You bring it up right when we're trying to plan an engagement party, so I'm left to think... How can I marry Felicity if there is this lie between us?
- Thea Queen: It's not a lie, okay? It's a promise that you are keeping to the mother of your child.
- Oliver Queen: That doesn't make it right, Thea.
- Thea Queen: Look at it from Samantha's perspective--as far as she knows, you are a rich playboy who slept with a bunch of women and got her pregnant.
- Oliver Queen: I'm not that person anymore.
- Thea Queen: Now you're the Green Arrow. Anyone who comes into your life is automatically a target. What Samantha is asking for you to do, as hard as it may be, it is the right thing to do. I know you want to tell Felicity, and trust me, I would *love* to be an aunt, but you have got to do the right thing for your son here. As hard as this may be for you Ollie, keeping William a secret is keeping him safe.
- [Cell phone vibrates; Oliver exhales]
- Felicity Smoak: Okay, I have a million questions, but first--Why would HIVE try to attack the debate?
- Oliver Queen: To take me out and discourage anyone else from running.
- Thea Queen: Okay, but Darhk's wife is here at ground zero, so it doesn't really make sense to...
- Oliver Queen: Unless Darhk's demolition team is gonna wipe everyone out except for Ruve.
- Felicity Smoak: Leaving Mrs. Darhk a sympathetic survivor instead of the pot of evil strew that she actually is.
- Felicity Smoak: [after being flashed by the photographer] I literally can't see a thing right now.
- Oliver Queen: [Oliver picks up a glass of champagne from the tray and hands it to Felicity] I think the cure for that is champagne.
- Felicity Smoak: [Felicity takes the glass] Ah, Dr. Queen, I do believe you are right.
