Quotes 

• Oliver Queen : [watching Hawkman slowly hit a few keys on the laptop]  Really?

  Carter Hall : I miss my typewriter.

  Oliver Queen : You miss the telegraph.

  [swats him away] 

  Oliver Queen : Just get away, 8-track.

• Oliver Queen : Clark, come on. Now the whole world thinks I'm a terrorist. I mean, that's not exactly something you want on your fortune 500 bio or at your wedding, so...

  Clark Kent : Well, that's too bad, 'cause I was just about to invite you to be my best man. You're the guy who stands next to me on the worst days of my life. And I want you there for the best one, too.

  Oliver Queen : Hey, I - you kidding? Absolutely. Thank you.

  Carter Hall : All I can say is when it comes to planning the wedding, just nod. A *lot*.

  Oliver Queen : Well, you would know, right? I mean, you married Shayera, what, a hundred times now?

  Dr. Emil Hamilton : Well, I've heard of relationships that withstand the test of time, but that's remarkable. Oh, or not, I suppose. For you.

• Carter Hall : Even though I married Shayera a hundred times, I had to lose her that many, as well. Now, I know I don't usually get all warm and fuzzy, but I am sorry. About Chloe.

  Oliver Queen : You're not gonna hug me now, are you?

• Lois Lane : I'll get you help. Okay?

  Carter Hall : No. It's too late. Hey. I'm a pro at dying, remember?

  Clark Kent : I should have been there, Carter. I'm sorry.

  Carter Hall : Can't always be you, Clark. This is all our fight. Listen. Listen! This is what we do. And my passing means I'll be with Shayera again.

  Clark Kent : I owe you so much, I don't even know how to begin to thank you.

  Carter Hall : You just did. You hold on to her. Because there has to be a balance, Clark. We can't do what we have to do if there's an emptiness in our hearts. Remember that.

  Clark Kent : I will. I promise.

  Carter Hall : Oh, I am sorry I won't be able to help you fight the darkness. But you have all the help that you need.

• Carter Hall : So much for going off the grid.

  Clark Kent : Carter. What are you doing here?

  Carter Hall : Probably the same thing as you... looking for answers. Besides, I've adopted a rule over the centuries... don't go underground until you're dead.

• Clark Kent : I promised Lois she and I would be together. But what if we can't? I mean, literally. If her only relationship was with The Blur and not Clark Kent, I'm not sure what kind of marriage that'll be.

  Oliver Queen : Wait a second. Don't tell me you're thinking about canceling the wedding, because, I got to tell you, I just started working on the speech, and It's looking good.

  Carter Hall : You're not supposed to be here.

  Oliver Queen : Well, you're not supposed to be here, either. All right? So I guess that makes three of us. What are we doing? We're supposed to be heroes. We're supposed to be setting an example for the kids. We can't even follow orders. Even if we gave them.

• Oliver Queen : I was thinking about Slade and that mega mark darkness thing.

  Carter Hall : Omega.

  Oliver Queen : Well, whatever. Anyway, the darkness has to be driving everything somehow. Right? Because I've seen hatred before. And I've never seen anything like this.

  Carter Hall : Well, live long enough and you will. I've seen this level of hatred before. Humanity's darkest hours. The Spanish Inquisition. The Third Reich.

  Clark Kent : You're saying the darkness has been here before.

  Carter Hall : Several times. But every time it looked like the world would be consumed by hatred and darkness, another force arose, a much brighter one, to send the darkness back.

  Clark Kent : And you had something to do with that? Well, this time it's us. And we need to start by stopping Slade.

  Carter Hall : Well, that's easier said than done. Justice isn't only blind right now, it's broken. There's no way the authorities will keep that... dog in a cage.

  Clark Kent : Maybe they won't, but I might have a place to put him until we can make things right. A place where he can't hurt anybody.

• Courtney Whitmore : It's not just the government against us, now the people have turned on us, too.

  Black Canary : With Slade alive, we can't exist. He knows too much about us.

  Carter Hall : So until Slade's been dealt with, it's got to be radio silence between us.

  Clark Kent : We have to go underground. Our lives as we knew them are over. Courtney Whitmore, studying abroad. Carter Hall, on sabbatical.

  Carter Hall : And Clark Kent?

  Clark Kent : Gone.

  Oliver Queen : So now we're all card-carrying members of the fugitive club.

  Clark Kent : We have to protect the secrets we still have. So until it's safe... I'm shutting down Watchtower.

• Clark Kent : You gonna stitch that up yourself or call Emil?

  Oliver Queen : You should see the other guys.

  Clark Kent : I did. On television. Why didn't you call me?

  Oliver Queen : It's... it's my fault. I-I figured you could use some time alone with Lois.

  Carter Hall : I told the human speed bag you'd want to know he got his bell rung.
