- John Diggle: Helena Bertinelli. Daughter of mob boss Frank Bertinelli.
- Felicity Smoak: Or as I like to call her, Oliver's psycho ex-girlfriend hell-bent on revenge against her father.
- Black Canary: Ex-girlfriend?
- Oliver Queen: That's what you took from that sentence?
- Quentin Lance: Listen, I know you don't exactly believe in reading perps their Mirandas, but you can't just toss a guy out of a window.
- Black Canary: He shot you.
- Quentin Lance: And I'm still here, ain't I? Just next time, show a little restraint.
- Black Canary: That was me showing restraint.
- Felicity Smoak: According to the SCPD, the guy that gave Helena a ride into town is a 22-year-old Poly Sci major at SCU, and a member of Gamma Tau, which totally explains the whole "I didn't know I was aiding and abetting a known felon" thing. Anyone with boobs can get a frat boy to do anything.
- Oliver Queen: I was a frat boy.
- Felicity Smoak: I rest my case.
- John Diggle: At least she didn't kill him. That's something.
- Felicity Smoak: Oliver, where are you? Are you okay?
- Oliver Queen: I'm with Lance as Oliver, and he just called the Arrow.
- Felicity Smoak: Oh. Oh! It's getting really hard to keep track of who knows whose secret identity.
- Helena Bertinelli: Last time this happened, I threw you out a window.
- Black Canary: I was holding back. I won't do that again.
- Helena Bertinelli: You know, I thought I'd feel different now that he's dead, but I don't. And you always told me that killing him wouldn't change anything. You were right.
- Oliver Queen: But I was wrong, too.
- Helena Bertinelli: About what?
- Oliver Queen: I thought I could help you. To stop you from being a killer, but... I was just starting. And I was a killer, too.
- Helena Bertinelli: And what are you know?
- Oliver Queen: I'm trying to be better.
- Kate Spencer: Look, on behalf on the entire D.A.'s office, I have to apologize. Adam Donner's employment here has been terminated. Obviously we had no idea what he was plotting.
- Laurel Lance: I would hope not.
- Kate Spencer: Unfortunately, Adam was not authorized to offer you your job back. I'm sorry. But nothing has changed.
- Laurel Lance: Yes, it has.
- Kate Spencer: Excuse me?
- Laurel Lance: You are going to rehire me, Kate. Unless you feel like explaining to the press that your own assistant district attorney was the brilliant mastermind behind tonight's hostage crisis.
- Kate Spencer: Welcome back. I have to say, I am impressed. I would have thought blackmail was a little dark for you.
- Laurel Lance: Someone recently told me, once you let the darkness inside, it never comes out.
- Slade Wilson: It's a dangerous city. You shouldn't be out in the streets alone.
- Thea Queen: Mr. Wilson?
- Slade Wilson: Please. Call me Slade.
- [Lance calls the Arrow and Oliver's mobile rings. Lance notices and looks over]
- Oliver Queen: [shows his phone's display to Lance] It's my mom.
- [Oliver steps away and takes Lance's call for the Arrow]
- Oliver Queen: [disguised Arrow voice over phone] Detective.
- Quentin Lance: Helena Bertinelli just took ten hostages. Laurel's one of them.
- Oliver Queen: Yeah, I'm aware of the situation.
- [Oliver hangs up and calls Felicity]
- Helena Bertinelli: Well, this is irony for you, Dad. Didn't you have Jimmy D'Agostino's body buried under the building next door?
- Frank Bertinelli: I'm sorry, my girl.
- Helena Bertinelli: Now you're about to die, I'm sure you are.
- Frank Bertinelli: No. I'm sorry for taking that little girl I used to take to ballet class. Go on ski trips with. The one I used to help with math homework. Oh, she hated math. Sorry that I caused her so much hurt. 'Cause she brought me so much joy.
- Arrow: Helena! Don't kill him. You can never come back from that.
- Helena Bertinelli: It's too late. I'm already gone. Bye, Dad.
