Damian: No, I don't want to.

Oliver: R'as stabbed [Thea] right over there.

Oliver: We can get a rug.

Hypable's best TV quotes of the week included the following Felicity line...

Felicity: "I get to be bossy today because I’m the boss of a multi-million dollar corporation. I know I should be nervous, I know, but I’m not. I’m actually really excited.”
 

Felicity is excited about her first day of being the CEO of Palmer Technologies. As usual, she’s talking a mile a minute, and over-narrating, but we love her for it.

Nyssa: You're not doing this out of love. You're doing this out of grief.

 

Felicity: See this?

Oliver: No. In my defense, I flunked biology.

 

Felicity: I don't like you going out there without backup.

Oliver: I'm not. I have you.

 

Thea: Okay, I'll just go on a killing spree. Thank you for the fatherly advice.

 

 

Oliver: You missed quite a show tonight.

Diggle: Sorry I couldn't help out. It's a long story.

Felicity: Omigawd, it is NOT a long story. It is the shortest story in history. Two guys go take on criminals without asking for backup and nearly get killed in the process. You know, I haven't said anything up til now because I was hoping that the two of you would remove your heads from your own asses without assistance. Turns out I was wrong.

 

Oliver: You said that violence is the one thing these people respond to. It doesn't seem to be working.

Guard: What do you have in mind? Harsh language?

 

Felicity: Maybe you need something to get your mind off all this, like a little side project.to clear you head.

Curtis: Like gambling?

 

Felicity: I hope we learned a lesson on the benefits of trusting our friends with our problems.

Diggle: You mean like your boyfriend?

Felicity: You're supposed to be more evolved than him.

Oliver: Hmm?

Felicity: Sorry, but he is.

 

Curtis: Have you ever considered how ironic your name is? Felicity refers to the ability to find appropriate expression for one's thoughts, which is not something you're particularly good at.

 

Curtis: Does the board of directors know there's a secret elevator in the building?

 

Curtis: Since when are you such a badass?

Felicity: Since always.

Curtis: Okay, I have multiple questions.

Felicity: Obviously there's a very long explanation for this. The short version is that I work with the Green Arrow, this man is trying to kill me, well, us, sorry, and I'm taking us down to the only place we're going to be safe.

 

Diggle: You took a bullet for me.

Oliver: They were meta human tattoo playing cards.

Diggle: Still counts, Oliver.

Thea: Well, this is horrible. What kind of secret lair has windows?

 

Oliver: We're going to need some money.

Felicity: Don't you mean more money?

 

Oliver: I've been trying to get in touch with you.

Lance: What is it you came to tell me? You're running for President now?

 

Oliver: I had Thea procure a couple kilos of cocaine.

Lance: Your mayoral campaign is off to a fantastic start.

 

Oliver: Captain Lance-

Lance: What? I don't get a code name like the rest of you?

 

Curtis: Why haven't you been answering my texts?

Felicity: Your texts were 911, OMG, ASAP, and five exclamation points. I do not have time to respond to something that doesn't contain at least one actual word.

 

Lance: You know I've got a heart condition, right?

Oliver: For years you've looked at me with such contempt, utter disdain. So I'm wondering - do I have that same look on my face now?

 

Oliver: I didn't even graduate from college, although in my defense I did go to four of them.

Diggle, on  hearing Oliver is going to be running for mayor:  "But why does that person have to be you? I mean, don't get me wrong, but you're not a politician."

Oliver: Are you old enough to vote, Alex?

Thea: I owned a bar when I wasn't even old enough to drink.

 

Alex: Your personal Chappaquiddick.

Thea: The game from Harry Potter?

 

Felicity: Curtis, I need you to do something for me.

Curtis: Felicity, look at me. Gym clothes, gym bag - do either of those suggest anything to you?

Felicity: Physical fitness, but then I remembered you're a tech guy.

Curtis: I'm also a bronze medal decathlete.

Felicity: Bronze medal, huh?

 

Felicity: This is your overlord, Felicity Smoak.

Thea: We have a PA system?

Oliver: Yet another decision I might live to regret.

 

Lance: You gotta admire [Laurel's] consistency. She keeps [sara]'s death a secret from me. She keeps her resurrection a secret from you.

 

Felicity: Her marble collection's a little incomplete.

 

John Constantine: What? You've never seen magic before?

 

Oliver: I don't have the right to be mad at anyone for keeping secrets.

 

Oliver: I need you to punch me in the face.

 

Felicity: How many of these have you drank?
Curtis: It's drunk, actually, and many.

Felicity: I tell you Ray's in trouble and your first response is "You need a shower!"

 

Felicity: I will, however, accept your undying support and back rub.

 

Oliver: You know, your mom doesn't really take no for an answer.

Felicity: You've faced down Mirakuru soldiers and the League of Assassins. Are you honestly telling me that you couldn't say no to my mom?

Oliver: She said she missed you and then she texted me one of those emojis with the single tear.

Felicity: You have been texting with my mother. How long has that been going on?

Diggle: You guys think we can find a better time to fight about this?

Felicity: John? I thought only Oliver's line was open.

Diggle: Nope. Mine is open.

Thea and Laurel: And mine.

Sara: I don't remember there being so much chatter on these missions.

 

Felicity: Chatty Cathy you're up.

Oliver: Chatty Cathy?

Felicity: Your new code name. The only one appropriate enough I could think of to use in polite company.

This was one of my of lines of the season! DD was me about a lot of the PT scenes since s3. I understand most or at least some, but it like listening to white noise. Especially considering a lot of it is made up mumbo jumbo.

Felicity: I've heard of having money to burn, but stealing money to burn - that's new.

 

Felicity: If you're looking for something to do, why not try, I don't know, declare yourself undead, try getting your company back?

 

Ray: I'm a recently undead billionaire CEO. My time is at a premium.

 

Alex: It's black tie so you need a tux.

Thea: Which one? [Oliver]'s got like fifty.

 

Oliver: I thought you failed civics class.

Thea: D minus, thank you.

 

Felicity: This has to be a better way than how you usually spend your evenings, dressing in leather and tying people up.

 

Oliver: Maybe I should get [the Arrow] to endorse me.

 

Felicity: I just remembered I got that thing in the whatever with the what's it.

 

Diggle: You almost got yourself killed.

Oliver: I've been a lot closer to almost killed.

 

Diggle: Just because you have a blind spot for your family, don't expect me to as well.

 

Felicity: Let's just say you no longer corner the market on not being as dead as people think.

 

Ray: You gotta admire the irony. Demian Darhk keeping his army of bad guys in a defunct loony bin.

 

Oliver: Everyone clear on the plan?

Thea: I wasn't the first eighty times we went over it but now I think I got it.

Diggle: "“My brother needs me. My green brother.”

 

Nope.  Just nope.  I LOVED, "My brother needs me," (looks at Oliver who he has just saved) but HATE "My GREEN brother."  Statsgirl automatically misremembered it (out of self defense I assume) and now I'm stuck on wishing they'd actually said "My brother IN green."  That's a good line, still a bit cheesy but something a human being might say.  But "My GREEN brother?"  Painful. 

 

Edited:  Ack!  "The GREEN one." is equally awful.  Thank you for explaining at least WHY they phrased it like that, even if I also thought "Kill the green one." was cringe worthy.

He actually said, "The green one." It was supposed to be a callback to when Andy said "Kill the green one," but that wasn't very obvious, especially because I wasn't even sure Oliver and Dig would have heard that? Given that they were on a roof and Andy was quite a ways away, but whatever. Dumb line, good sentiment, I agree.

Oliver: Can I ask you a question?

Felicity: Now? Here? I mean, what's the question?

 

Malcolm: I had my minions looking into it.

Thea: You love having minions.

 

Curtis: Is it just me or did you hire the U.S. Army as your caterers?

Diggle: Actually they're Marines. Hi, I'm John Diggle. I work security for Mr. Queen.

Curtis: Curtis Holt. I work for Mr. Queen's girlfriend. This is my husband Paul.

Felicity: Wow, a hottie. Nice work, Curtis.

[everyone looks at each other]

Felicity: What? Wait, was that weird?

Paul: A little.

Felicity: Don't worry. You're handsome, duh, but you bat for the other team and I'm practically engaged. And by practically engaged I mean NOT engaged at all, right? But anything could happen eventually - in, like, years. In another galaxy.

 

[Felicity sees Donna and Quentin with their arms around each other]

Felicity: Mom? I am never going to be able to unsee this.

Donna: Sorry, honey. Sweetie, I would like you to meet my boyfriend, Quentin.

Felicity: He's your boyfriend?

Quentin: She's your mother?

Donna: What?

Quentin: Did you say boyfriend?

Donna: I'm sorry, do you guys know each other?

Quentin: I thought it was just like a date or something.

Felicity: Can I talk to my mom for a second?

Quentin: Listen, Laurel doesn't know.

Felicity: Yeah, I'm going to hit myself over the head with something very heavy so that I don't know either.

 

Oliver: Did you learn anything from the hotline?

Laurel: Only how many crazy/bored people are in this city.

 

Malcolm: Honestly, Oliver, this place is even easier to break into than your last lair.

 

Malcolm: We're pressed for time. Suffice it to say I'm a little less dead than most people think.

 

Oliver: What are you doing here?

Malcolm: My daughter's in danger. Shouldn't your first question be, "What took you so long?"

 

Laurel: Can you give us the room?

Malcolm: Happily. I have enough father-daughter drama in my life as it is. Good luck.

Quentin: Thank you.

 

Felicity: I really hate to be the one to break this to you, Oliver, but you are not the boss of me.

It's funny.  I didn't hear the part where Donna said, "I think it's me!" until after reading this quote and then going and watching it again.  The first time (ok, the first few times) I watched that scene all I heard was a squeeing sound.  Practically in a decibel my ears don't pick up.

Fave 410 quotes...

 

Felicity: “I have never been more ready to have a bunch of guys poking around inside me. Doctors. Doing doctor things.”

 

Donna: "It's such a small world."
Laurel: "Microscopic."

 

Diggle: “But you've come so far, Oliver. You've recovered a humanity that you lost, when I first met you. I know you want payback for what Darhk did to Felicity, but don't lose what made her fall in love with you in the first place."

 

Felicity: “My point being is, we didn't really exchange any vows, so the whole ‘for better, for worse’ thing doesn't really apply here.”
Oliver: “What are you talking about?”
Felicity: “And maybe the real reason you haven't been here is because –“
Oliver: “Felicity. (Pulls ring out of his pocket) The nurse, she took this off of you in the E.R. How dare she. (Puts ring on her finger) For better, for worse.”

 

Oliver: “We go out every night. Suiting up, risking our lives. Fighting assassins and meta-humans and all the worst kinds of people. She's stronger than all of us.”
Laurel: “You won't get an argument from me.”

 

Oliver: “Want to come with me?”
Felicity: “Yeah. I'd go anywhere with you.”

Laurel: Well, I'm sure there's a murderer out there who appreciates your lack of initiative.

 

Diggle: So exactly how many evil organizations are you associated with? I'm beginning to lose count.

 

Oliver: I just thought if you got behind a keyboard again that things would just start to feel normal.

Felicity: I love how playing superhero is what we consider normal.

Oliver: I thought it was time you got a code name.

 

Joyner: You look pretty good for a dead man.

Andy: And here I thought I put on weight.

 

Oliver: The doctor said your condition is permanent and I don't think that it's healthy or productive for either of us to live in denial. But I have seen people speed and shrink and fly. We watched a friend of ours come back from the dead. That is the world we live in now. And I will not stop searching it until we find a way to make you walk again.

Oliver: "Mission accomplished."

 

Felicity: "It's the fault of only one man and he has an extremely on-the-nose and alliterative name. And we're going to stop him, not out of guilt or vengeance, or regret. We are going to stop him because it's what we do. That's who we are."

Robo voice: Well, well. Whoever you are, let me just say I am very impressed. No one's ever been able to break through my encryption before. Bravo.

Felicity: Thanks. I would take that as a compliment if it wasn't coming from some nutjob trying to destroy the internet.

Robo voice: Why would I want to take down the net? Not only is it where I work, I'm addicted to funny cat videos.

 

Oliver: Any luck?

Felicity: Why do you always ask me that? If I had any luck looking what I'm looking for, I would be telling you about it instead of looking for it!

 

Oliver: I'm working on something.

Thea: If it's a pedophile for me to kill, Malcolm's already been pitching that one hard.

 

Malcolm: So you're going to go, hood in hand, to Damian Dahrk? I am the Demon's Head. I have my resources. And I know how to put my ear up against a door. Leaving the epic stupidity of your plan aside, Thea's right. This isn't either of our decisions.

Oliver: Malcolm, do you want her to die?

Malcolm: Of course not. Do you have any idea how badly I want to put a knife in her hand and force her to slit someone's throat? I've come this close to dragging someone in here for her to kill. And the reason I don't is because that would be about my feelings and not Thea's. Oliver, sometimes the greatest act of love is no action at all. It's her life. It's her choice.

Oliver: If you cared about Thea, then curing her bloodlust wouldn't come with any conditions.

Nyssa: She is my sister in law. You are my husband.

Oliver: I am not your husband!

 

Oliver: Who are you at war with?

Nyssa: I just told you I want you to kill Malcolm Merlyn. Try to guess.

 

Malcolm: Let me see if I've got this right. There's a magic potion that could cure Thea's blood lust that we've never heard of that Nyssa conveniently has. I've been holding off telling you this for years, Oliver. You're very handsome, not especially bright.

 

Guard: We found [Laurel] at the perimeter. She claims to be a friend.

Nyssa: She speaks the truth - at least until she defiled my beloved and stood idly by while I was left to rot in a dungeon.

 

Nyssa: You [defeated Malcolm] before.

Oliver: That was before I knew he was my sister's father.

Nyssa: So he dies so his child can live. Didn't your father make a similar bargain?

 

Noah: Strange watching your baby girl drinking coffee.

Felicity: Yeah, it'd probably be a little less strange if you'd seen your baby girl in the last eighteen years.

 

Felicity: This is one of your crazier ideas, and that is a competitive field.

 

Malcolm: In deference to good taste, we will forego the removal of shirts.

 

Malcolm: You've grown even more foolish with experience.

 

Oliver: You are Ra's al Ghul.

Nyssa: Thank you, husband.

 

Felicity: Doesn't every long awaited father-daughter reunion end with the dad being taken away in handcuffs?

 

Oliver: I think that remorse is a pretty clear indicator that you are a very different person from [your father].

Felicity: Maybe Thea and I could make t-shirts, join a club.

 

Felicity: Are you punishing yourself for betraying Malcolm?

Oliver: Is that insane?

Felicity: Yes.

 

Malcolm: I haven't come empty handed.
