Quotes 

• Samanda Watson : My agreement with your husband, it gives you immunity. It doesn't make us allies.

  Felicity Smoak : Diaz attacked me while I was in protective custody. My husband is in prison. I had to send my son away. Your deal with Oliver ruined my life and the city's. All I'm asking of you is to hold up your side of the bargain.

  Samanda Watson : I'm sorry you were attacked, but it's not my fault your husband's in prison. It was his choice to put on that hood, and it was his choice to turn himself in. Go home. Enjoy your freedom. Leave the crime fighting to me.

  Felicity Smoak : My husband spent the last six years fighting for the people of this city, risking everything, and now he sits in prison, his life on the line, while this monster gets to walk free. That isn't justice.

• Felicity Smoak : [watching surveillance of Agent Watson]  I guess her heart isn't completely made out of stone.

  Rene Ramirez : Bugging the FBI? Maybe not the best move for our immunity deal.

  Felicity Smoak : I'm going with the "ask for forgiveness instead of permission"-type thing.

• Rene Ramirez : When you said you were done with the A.R.G.U.S. way, you weren't joking.

  Felicity Smoak : John has priorities other than catching Diaz. I don't. I really appreciate you wanting to help. And letting me sleep on your couch, which is a lot more comfortable than it looks.

• Dinah Drake : If this is illegal, I don't want to know about it.

  Rene Ramirez : Oh, D, why you always gotta expect the worst?

  Samanda Watson : [entering]  You make it easy, Mr. Ramirez.

  Dinah Drake : Okay. Okay, what the hell is going on here?

  Felicity Smoak : We know how to get Diaz. And we need your help.

  Samanda Watson : I thought I made myself clear, Ms. Smoak.

  Felicity Smoak : You did, and then I figured out how to set a trap at the CDC.

  Samanda Watson : How did you know about the...

  Felicity Smoak : I bugged your office.

• Felicity Smoak : I backtraced the Silencer's hack.

  Rene Ramirez : [sotto]  Wait, we're calling her the Silencer now?

  Felicity Smoak : It's better than "the belt lady".

  Rene Ramirez : Noted.

• Rene Ramirez : This was a bad idea.

  Felicity Smoak : We didn't have a choice.

  Rene Ramirez : Listen, I'm not a superfan of Agent Watson, but we got her in trouble.

  Felicity Smoak : We didn't make her do anything. We have been sitting and waiting for the law to catch Diaz. For once, I am tired of waiting.

  Rene Ramirez : I get that, but...

  Felicity Smoak : Isn't this kind of what we've been doing the whole time, stepping in when the system fails? Isn't that sort of a vigilante M.O.? Sometimes you have to cross the line for that.

  Rene Ramirez : Listen, nobody believes in that more than me. I'm just not sure that's what this is.

  [it's revealed they have the Silencer restrained in chains] 

• Samanda Watson : This is quite the setup.

  Felicity Smoak : Yeah, the CDC takes their security a lot more seriously than the FBI. No offense.

  Samanda Watson : None taken. You thought about getting into cyber security? Legally?

  Felicity Smoak : I haven't done "legally" in a very long time.

  Samanda Watson : What scared you off, all that nasty due process?

  Felicity Smoak : You mean the rolls and rolls of red tape? No, I just prefer to spend my time actually catching criminals.

  Samanda Watson : I know the law isn't perfect.

  Felicity Smoak : If it were, Diaz would be in prison, William would be at home, and I wouldn't jump five feet every time I hear a door slam, but here we are.

• Samanda Watson : Just because the system is flawed doesn't mean it shouldn't exist. Even someone like Ricardo Diaz needs a lawyer, a fair trial. We protect the rights of people who don't deserve them 'cause it's the only way to protect them for everyone.

  Felicity Smoak : And yet here you are tonight, going off-book.

  Samanda Watson : Well, it's like you said before, as long as I catch a bad guy, all is forgiven, right? And then we go get justice the old-fashioned way. In court.

  Felicity Smoak : Let's hope.

• Felicity Smoak : On a scale of one to unemployment, how much trouble is she in?

  Dinah Drake : Well, she wasn't supposed to be here in the first place, Diaz escaped with the compound, and we have no idea where or how he's planning on using it.

  Felicity Smoak : So, a lot?

• Samanda Watson : Thanks for coming.

  Felicity Smoak : I'm guessing you didn't call me in to tell me you're getting promoted?

  Samanda Watson : I've been reassigned; desk jockey job back in D.C.

  Felicity Smoak : And I'm guessing that new gig takes you far away from the Diaz investigation.

  Samanda Watson : That's the idea.

  Felicity Smoak : I hope you're not expecting an apology.

  Samanda Watson : I'm not. I knew I was putting my career on the line when I agreed to work with you and your team. I believe that good law enforcement does make up for the bad, and I always will. But going off the books to catch Diaz? That was the right thing to do. You don't deserve to live without your family. You're a good person, Felicity.

  Felicity Smoak : Hmm. I never thought I'd hear myself say this, but I'm very sorry to see you go, Agent Watson.

  Samanda Watson : I'm sorry Diaz and his crew got away. I mean, things would have turned out different if we'd gotten at least something on that son of a bitch.

  Felicity Smoak : I know, I know. I'm with you. Square one sucks.

• Rene Ramirez : I've been dying to get the band back together, and get that son of a bitch Diaz. What's he want at the CDC?

  Felicity Smoak : Finding that out is the easy part.

  Rene Ramirez : What's the hard part?

  Felicity Smoak : Getting into the CDC. You heard the bossman. The only way we get in there is with federal clearance.
