- Laurel Lance: Tommy?
- Tommy Merlyn: Yeah.
- Laurel Lance: Is Thea okay?
- Tommy Merlyn: Oh, yeah. She just ate some bad crab cakes.
- Laurel Lance: Are you sure it wasn't something she drank?
- Tommy Merlyn: Don't worry, I got this. You can go back inside. Keep having fun. Looked like you were having a nice little do-si-do with the good doctor.
- Laurel Lance: Tommy, I'm gonna let you in on a little-known secret about Dr. Carter Bowen: the man is a gigantic ass. And the only reason why I danced with him is because he wrote a massive check to CNRI. Why would you think anything else?
- Tommy Merlyn: I guess when it comes to you, I tend not to think straight.
- Oliver Queen: My father made mistakes. He hurt people. When people are hurt, people are in trouble, they tend to make the wrong choices. Right, Derek? But those choices don't have to define you. They don't have to define who your family will be. Because there's always one moment when you can turn it all around. If my father had another chance, I think he'd do things differently, but time ran out for him.
- Derek Reston: How poetic. That doesn't help me get my house back, now does it?
- Oliver Queen: No, it doesn't. No, all I can offer you is an apology and a job. Queen Consolidated has subsidiaries all over the country. I make one phone call, you start next week. So what do you say?
- Derek Reston: How about "I still have some pride left"? Now, I don't need charity from the son of the man who screwed me over.
- Oliver Queen: Okay.
- [Oliver pulls a business card out of his pocket and puts it on the table]
- Oliver Queen: You change your mind?
- [Oliver stands up to leave]
- Oliver Queen: You and I have one thing in common. We're both dealing with the consequences of my father's actions. What he did then, that's on him. What we do now, that's on us.
- Tommy Merlyn: Wow. You look just really lovely.
- Laurel Lance: Lovely. Well, it's nice that you've extended your vocabulary from words like hot and mega hot.
- Tommy Merlyn: You can just say thank you, you know.
- John Diggle: Please tell me you're not going where I think you're going.
- Oliver Queen: Diggle, why do you even ask?
