Thea Queen : You know how many times I've wished that I could thank the Arrow for things he's done for this city?
Oliver Queen : Probably as many times as I've wished we could have this conversation.
Thea Queen : Did Mom know?
Oliver Queen : The night that she died, she told me that... she'd known for a while. I was worried that you'd be angry.
Thea Queen : Only 'cause you broke my window. Although I did kind of kick your ass.
Oliver Queen : You didn't. But you did have a good teacher.
Thea Queen : You were looking for Malcolm that night.
Oliver Queen : We know about each other.
Thea Queen : Wait, Malcolm knows that you're the Arrow?
Oliver Queen : I am amazed that he didn't tell you.
Thea Queen : Then why did you tell me? Why now?
Oliver Queen : Because Ra's al Ghul is coming for us. All of us. And the only chance that we have to survive is to work together. To trust each other.
Malcolm Merlyn : He's right.
Thea Queen : No. No, no, he's not. I turn my back on everyone I know, including my own brother, because you told me that was nobody else I could trust.
Malcolm Merlyn : I was only trying to protect you.
Thea Queen : By driving a wedge between me and Ollie? You manipulated me.

Thea Queen : You smell like smoke. Korean barbecue?
Oliver Queen : C4. Yeah.
Thea Queen : It's nice that we can tell each other this stuff now.
Oliver Queen : It is, actually.
Thea Queen : You always had the lamest excuses.
Oliver Queen : Lame excuses are sort of an occupational hazard.
Thea Queen : What was tonight's hazard?
Oliver Queen : Roy and I were looking for the man that escaped from the courthouse earlier today. Found a bomb instead.
Thea Queen : Yeah, I don't know how you do it. Just risk your life out there for people every night.
Oliver Queen : It's my job. It is my job to keep the people of this city safe. And that includes you, too, Speedy. Listen to me. I'm always going to hate Malcolm Merlyn. But right now he's a necessary evil.
Thea Queen : But we can take care of ourselves.
Oliver Queen : Not against Ra's al Ghul. You have to trust me on this.
Thea Queen : I do. But I don't trust him. I can't. And I won't.

Laurel Lance : I know what you're going to say, but I risked myself for this city while you were gone. That should earn me some respect.
Oliver Queen : This isn't about respect. And it's not about you risking your life. I understand that you miss Sara. And I understand when you go out there like this, all of that pain goes away.
Laurel Lance : It's the only time it ever does.
Oliver Queen : And that relief isn't real. It's a drug.
Laurel Lance : If you're implying...
Oliver Queen : You an addict. And just like booze and pills, that high you're chasing every night is endangering your life.
Laurel Lance : Go to hell, Oliver. You don't get to play that card with me. Ever. And if there is anyone who is using adrenaline to hide the pain of real feelings and real life, it's you.

Malcolm Merlyn : It's been weeks since your return. I thought it was past time we spoke. Nanda Parbat is remote, but I wouldn't delude yourself into thinking that Ra's al Ghul missed your televised return to Starling City.
Oliver Queen : And your point, Malcolm?
Malcolm Merlyn : We can't merely wait for Ra's to mobilize his forces. It's time to bring Thea into the fold.
Oliver Queen : She's not ready to know my secret.
Malcolm Merlyn : I disagree. But in any case, if we have to protect Thea and to defeat the League, the three of us need to join forces. But I don't see how we can do that if she is still to believe that her brother is a reformed playboy and failed businessman.

Thea Queen : I thought that I was stronger. I thought that I could keep myself safe.
Oliver Queen : Who was he?
Malcolm Merlyn : One of Ra's agents.
Oliver Queen : Roy, can you give us a minute?
Thea Queen : Really hope you're expecting a thank you.
Malcolm Merlyn : No parent needs gratitude for saving their child.
Thea Queen : I didn't ask to be a part of this. I didn't ask for any of this. Maybe you're right. Maybe we can't do this without him. But I am never going to forget the things you've done. Or the person that you are.
Malcolm Merlyn : Understood. But before we can begin, there's something only the two of you can do. Ra's al Ghul preys upon the fears of his enemies. Conquer your own fear, and you will eliminate that critical advantage. For you, there's only one place on earth uniquely suited to doing that.

Oliver Queen : My family's going to be looking for me. Everyone is going to be looking for me!
Amanda Waller : Because your mother issued a press release? We erased your message before she could hear a word of it. Be glad. If she had heard it, your mother would be dead right now.
Oliver Queen : You would never risk the exposure.
Amanda Waller : Hmm, you're right. Your mother's too public a figure. But your sister on the other hand. What's her name? Thea? Did you know she's developed something of a substance abuse problem since you've been gone? I guess the straing of losing two family members must have been too much for her to bear. One day, someone just find her in the back of a car, dead with a needle in her arm. Poor Speedy.
Oliver Queen : You stay away from my sister.
Amanda Waller : I will, if you answer one question. Where are the Yamashiros?
