Your honor, the hardest thing to do is to be a hero when no one expects you to be. The easier path is to be a criminal. The past six months, Oliver Queen has chosen the hard road and has been a hero in terrible conditions. And since the FBI has not held up their end of the deal, Oliver Queen deserves to be a free man.

Laurel

I know that if anyone can find out what happened. It's the Green Arrow.

Stanley

Oh my god, you're "Shawshanking" out of here.

Stanley

Stanley: That whole Dunbar thing, I didn't have a choice! I didn't have a choice! And all those other people had it coming!
Oliver: You killed other people before Dunbar?
Stanley: Honestly, what you and I do is not so different, right? So, like we make such a great team.

Diaz: They don't see you as Green Arrow in here. You're just a number. It's pretty dehumanizing, isn't it? Bet you weren't thinking about that when you were locking these people up in here.
Oliver: Well, I'm not going to do that to you. I'm gonna end you.
Diaz: You're gonna die today and I'm gonna be the one who's gonna do it.

Guard: You have failed this city, Oliver Queen.
Oliver: Diaz that's enough! Let him go!
Diaz: You speak and people do as you say. That's how it goes? Doesn't matter if you're right or wrong? Not this time. Not anymore. [Slits guards throat] How's that feel? How's it feel, somebody else playing god?

Rene: Rich folk and politicians fronting like they actually care about prison reform. If everyone in here actually gave a crap, they'd use that money to help people in hard-up neighborhoods who end up in the system because they don't have anything else...What?
Dinah: You ever think about running for office?

Max Fuller: Hey man, I know we've had some bad history...
Oliver: You had your bodyguards kick the crap out of me and Tommy at your club.
Max: Right, well you slept with my wife. Well, now my ex-wife. Dude, all of that is in the past, okay. Dude, you're the freaking Green Arrow.
Felicity: Well I'm Felicity, I'm the wife of the freaking Green Arrow. It sounded a little less strange in my head.

Hey dad. Turns out Oliver's more like you then I thought. More like me too. But I'm giving up, not ever.

Ms. Queen

Dinah: Well there is another option, we go to the Glades.
William: I thought we weren't welcome there.
Dinah: Well we're not, but she is.
Zoe: No. No way.
Dinah: Zoe, we don't know when or where this is going to happen right? And by the time we found out, it could be too late. I don't like the idea either but we need resources.
Zoe: I guess it's time to pay my dad a visit.

Barry: Could you pull that thing up because my vigilante identity's not public, and I'd like to keep it that way!
Oliver: This is not your real face!!
Barry: It might end up being my real face if we don't sort this mess out, so could ya?!
Oliver: [pulls up hood] Happy??
Barry: Ecstatic.

Barry: Guys, take a look at this. [uncovers the Bat signal] Do you still think he's a myth?
Oliver: Yeah!
Barry: [whispering] Batman's real.

Arrow Quotes

I thought you took that book off your father's dead body. How could he have been so chatty?

Diggle

She was my sister. I couldn't be angry because she was dead. I couldn't grieve because I was so angry, that's what happens when your sister dies while screwing your boyfriend.
