Quotes 

• John Diggle : The device has been neutralized.

  William Clayton : [sighing in relief]  I guess things have never not been tense around here, huh?

  Curtis Holt : Yeah. I like to cope by stress eating. Gummy bear?

  William Clayton : [taking one]  Thanks.

• Curtis Holt : Look at us - Holt and Smoak 2.0.

• Oliver Queen : We set up one team to go after Grant, one team to detroy the relay device. But we also need to keep the public calm this time.

  Dinah Drake : Well, last I checked, the police are still good, and I'm still captain, future be damned

  Rene Ramirez : I'll join you. I gotta do something for the Glades from there.

  William Clayton : What about the three of us?

  Oliver Queen : William, I think it would be best if you stayed and helped Curtis. Mia and Connor, I'd like for the two of you to come with us. Like Rene said, we have to do things differently this time. Agreed?

  [as he glances at them both, they nod in agreement] 

  Oliver Queen : All right.

  Curtis Holt : This is my favorite part.

  Oliver Queen : Suit up.

• Curtis Holt : Do you want the long version or the short version? Please say the long one, because I would love to geek out on this science. Did you know that...

  Oliver Queen : Curtis.

  Curtis Holt : Short it is. Whatever it is, it is possible to replicate, but there's a catch; well, a couple catches, actually.

  Oliver Queen : Okay.

  Curtis Holt : One, I don't have the tools to do it. Two, it is super illegal because it requires plutonium, you know, the bomb-making kind. Luckily, there's a guy, a military general.

  Oliver Queen : Okay. Where is he?

  Curtis Holt : Russia.

• Green Arrow : Stay close, please.

  Mia Smoak : Where are we?

  Curtis Holt : [on comms]  You're in the service tunnels underneath the city. Basically, you are all in "The Shawshank Redemption".

  Mia Smoak : The Shawshank what?

  Curtis Holt : "The Shawshank Redemption". It's... are there no movies in the future?

  Green Arrow : Curtis!

  Curtis Holt : Oh, right. Staying on task. Sorry. I'm a little out of practice, guys.

• Curtis Holt : So, Grant is trying to one-up his father. Siege version 2.0 is tonight, and this time, Mirakuru's out and coordinated bomb attacks are in.

  Oliver Queen : How many?

  Laurel Lance : Lots. And Grant has them all connected to a remote detonator. Probably a phone.

  Curtis Holt : The good news is, and I use that term very loosely, uh, is that he set up a relay device underneath downtown.

  Dinah Drake : So we disable the relay device, we turn off the bomb.

  Mia Smoak : Okay, what about Grant?

  Connor Hawke : He's holed up underground, but the lines converge at Water Street.

  Oliver Queen : History repeats itself.

  John Diggle : Well, maybe we can stop the attack by running the same play we ran last time.

  Rene Ramirez : [entering]  No. Someone told me the only way to change the future is to start doing things differently now.

  John Diggle : Rene, look...

  Rene Ramirez : John, we're good. You, too, Connor. I can't be mad at either of you for something I will never let happen.
