Quotes 

• Felicity Smoak : This is so completely unfair.

  John Diggle : Yeah, seems to be a lot of that going around lately. So, you got Oliver's girlfriend fired?

  Felicity Smoak : He told you? Of course he told you. Well, did he also tell you it was a mistake? I mean, on my part at least.

  John Diggle : Felicity...

  Felicity Smoak : I'm putting the toothpaste back in the tube, okay?

  John Diggle : And how is that going?

  Felicity Smoak : Well...

  John Diggle : Felicity, what's going on with you?

  Felicity Smoak : What do you mean?

  John Diggle : This week it was Oliver's girlfriend. Last month, he tells me you're getting involved in some stuff you shouldn't be involved in?

  Felicity Smoak : Well, that is a matter of perspective considering that that "stuff" helped get *you* out of prison, and General Walker's gunsights.

  John Diggle : What're you talking about?

  John Diggle : [Felicity opens up Pandora files]  Pandora?

  Felicity Smoak : It's a data cache compiled by a group of hacktivists called Helix. They collect electronic dirt on literally billions of people, including General Walker, so when I asked for it to get you off, they... That's a bad choice of words... They gave me the whole package.

  John Diggle : And you're still in bed with these people?

  Felicity Smoak : What? You make it sound like it's a bad thing. Pandora's just a tool.

  John Diggle : [Scoffing]  Sounds to me like this could be a weapon.

  Felicity Smoak : Okay, and is there a problem if it is?

  John Diggle : It depends, Felicity.

  Felicity Smoak : On what?

  John Diggle : On how you use it.

• Reporter : [On TV]  News of the cover-up sent shockwaves through City Hall, forcing Council members into enacting a rarely-used impeachment clause. Mayor Oliver Queen's administration might be over.

  Felicity Smoak : [Felicity mutes the TV]  That woman never reports the news.

  Oliver Queen : [Oliver walks in]  It'll work out. I'm just waiting for my opening

  Felicity Smoak : There's that optimism again.

  Oliver Queen : Chase is re presenting me, so I'm gonna beat this.

  [Deep breath] 

  Oliver Queen : How are we doing with the data pull from Prometheus' mother's house?

  Felicity Smoak : The sniffer pulled about a petabyte worth of data. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack, but I am working on it.

  Oliver Queen : Good. There's something else that I could use your help with.

  Felicity Smoak : Okay.

  Oliver Queen : Susan Williams.

  Felicity Smoak : Oh.

  Oliver Queen : She's not returning my calls.

  Felicity Smoak : Am I really the best person to come to or love-life advice?

  Oliver Queen : Well, she's not returning my calls since you and Thea got her fired.

  Felicity Smoak : Well, in my defense, I didn't know that was gonna be Thea's play.

  Oliver Queen : I know, but I still need your help because Thea is not budging.

  Felicity Smoak : Look, I know how severely problematic what I'm about to say is, but Susan is your girlfriend, so if anyone is going to fix it, I think it has to be you.

  Oliver Queen : I'm trying, but like I said, she's not returning my calls, and you may have noticed, I'm sort of facing impeachment this week.

  Felicity Smoak : Okay... Yeah, I'll do my best.

  Oliver Queen : Thank you very much.

  Felicity Smoak : [Oliver starts to walk off. Felicity gently grabs his arm and he spins back to face her]  Um, for what it's worth, and everything I know about politics I got from Keepin' It 1600, but I do think you're gonna beat this thing.

  Oliver Queen : What makes you so sure?

  Felicity Smoak : To Star City, Mayor Oliver Queen is a hero.

• John Diggle : Hey, Oliver's out of the hospital and headed to City Hall. Any word from Dinah?

  Felicity Smoak : Um, she's at the precinct trying to recover that piece of Vigilante's visor.

  John Diggle : What about you, Felicity? And don't tell me that it's traffic cams; we both know there on autopilot.

  Felicity Smoak : I sent Thea something to sway Councilman Kullens. Apparently, he's the swing vote on Oliver's impeachment.

  John Diggle : Pandora?

  Felicity Smoak : Officially, his wife died in a car crash... Unofficially, she crashed the car on purpose.

  John Diggle : Suicide?

  Felicity Smoak : He used his clout to cover it up, so I'm guessing he's not gonna want it uncovered.

  John Diggle : And you are okay with this, right?

  Felicity Smoak : I think the city needs Oliver to keep being Mayor.

  John Diggle : Felicity, Kullens is not a criminal; he's a human being.

  Felicity Smoak : He's a politician--that's hardly the same thing.

  John Diggle : A human being that went through a very tragic accident... A very private one. Come on, this isn't you.

  Felicity Smoak : Well, it pretty much is.

  John Diggle : [sighing]  Okay, do you know what your superpower is?

  Felicity Smoak : Computers?

  John Diggle : Empathy. Big reflexive, pure empathy.

  Felicity Smoak : Well, maybe I'm fresh out.

  John Diggle : Because of Billy.

  Felicity Smoak : It's a dark world... And for the past four years, I have watched you and Oliver and Laurel and Thea and Roy... I've watched all of you use a little darkness to fight it.

  John Diggle : That's true. Sometimes, we do fight fire with fire, but every time we do, Felicity... Every single time, we risk being burned.

• Felicity Smoak : Vigilante changes artillery supplier every week. Every lead goes cold. We could really use a break right about now.

  Dinah Drake : [On Comms]  I think I got something.

  Felicity Smoak : Yes! I totally manifested that. What do you got?

  Dinah Drake : When my sonic cry hit Vigilante, it knocked off a small piece of his visor. It looks like it's lined with some kind of circuitry.

  Felicity Smoak : Well that means it's manufactured. I think I can link it back to where he bought it from.

  Curtis Holt : I think I can do you one better. My T-Spheres can actually track the tech to the individual user.

  Rene Ramirez : Except they won't be ready till the iPhone 16 is released...

  Curtis Holt : Ye of little faith...

  Dinah Drake : [On Comms]  What's a T-Sphere?

  Rene Ramirez : Curtis' balls.

  Curtis Holt : They're something really fascinating and of my own personal invention. I realized that quantum computation could be used to...

  Dinah Drake : Alright, yeah... Forget I asked. I'll bring you guys the visor, okay?

  Felicity Smoak : Copy that, we're here. Curtis, this is on you now.

  Curtis Holt : Challenge accepted.

  Rene Ramirez : Hey, seriously man, what's up with your balls? I mean, you were literally gonna throw those things in the trash.

  Curtis Holt : Paul called... Asked me to dinner, like a date. Like... I'm gonna get my man back.

  Rene Ramirez : I told you, Hoss, some piece of tech ain't gonna...

  Curtis Holt : Look, I know Paul... He wouldn't be asking me to go out to dinner if he wasn't ready to reconcile.

• Curtis Holt : It's working... It's actually tracking the rest of the visor.

  Dinah Drake : Let's take down this SOB.

  Curtis Holt : Without Oliver?

  Felicity Smoak : If Vigilante gets to him, we'll be doing this without Oliver permanently.

  Curtis Holt : [Simultaneously]  Let's suit up.

  John Diggle : [Simultaneously]  Suit up.

  Curtis Holt : Oh... Sorry, I thought since Oliver's gone, I would, probably-- But it makes more sense probably for you...

  Curtis Holt : [Diggle walks off quickly]  I'll make sure I work on the timing there. Promise.

  Felicity Smoak : [Grabbing Curtis' arm and spinning him]  Balls.

  Curtis Holt : My T-Spheres... Don't call 'em "balls".

• Thea Queen : Hold on, I need a favor.

  Felicity Smoak : Okay, if this is about Susan Williams, I'm already on it.

  Thea Queen : No, it's about the impeachment. You said that Pandora has dirt on a lot of people, right?

  Felicity Smoak : Yeah, if by "a lot of people" you mean "everybody", then yeah.

  Thea Queen : What about Councilman Kullens?

  Felicity Smoak : Last time I checked,d he's part of "everybody", why?

  Thea Queen : You know why.

  Felicity Smoak : Oh. Oh! You wanna blackmail him?

  Thea Queen : No, it's not blackmail... It's politics.
