Juliana Harkavy: Dinah Drake • Black Canary

Irreconcilable Differences

Dinah Drake • Black Canary

Dinah Drake: You okay?
Curtis Holt: Me? Oh, yeah. Of course. Just because I'm divorced doesn't mean that I can't handle celebrating people getting married.
Dinah Drake: Well, I'm not that into weddings, either.
Rene Ramirez: [sarcastic] Shocker.
Dinah Drake: Well, the idea of spending the rest of your life with one person seems... pretty unrealistic and, uh, also pretty boring. That's probably why I've had so many busted engagements.
Curtis Holt: Say what?
Rene Ramirez: What?
Dinah Drake: [receiving a text] Be right back.
Rene Ramirez: What, were you just gonna leave on that bombshell, that's what you're gonna do?
Dinah Drake: [non-committally] Hmm.
Rene Ramirez: Is it me, or has she been acting weird lately?
Curtis Holt: Oh, no. She's definitely been on UpSwipz. She's been secretly texting with somebody for weeks now.
Rene Ramirez: Good for her.

Oliver Queen: I know that you've been meeting with the vigilante in secret.
Dinah Drake: You followed me?
Oliver Queen: I did.
Dinah Drake: Whatever business I have with Vince is none of yours.
Oliver Queen: It is when it threatens to put me in prison and keep me away from my son.
Dinah Drake: What the hell are you talking about?
Oliver Queen: I'm talking about being arrested off the statement of someone who knows my identity, somebody on this team.
Dinah Drake: And you think it was me? What, because I didn't tell you about Vince?
Oliver Queen: I think you have given me no reason to trust you.

Curtis Holt: How can you eat this?
Rene Ramirez: You ask me that every time.
Dinah Drake: He means at a time like this.
Rene Ramirez: Stress makes me hungry. So does guilt. I just... I screwed up. You know, Oliver was right to kick me off the team.
Dinah Drake: You were in an impossible position.
Rene Ramirez: Yeah, and when you're in an impossible position, that's why there's a team, D. Just like Dig said.

Rene Ramirez: You're uncharacteristically quiet, hoss.
Curtis Holt: Just hung over, doing some processing. I'm actually doing a lot of processing.
Dinah Drake: Oliver spying on us, you mean?
Curtis Holt: Not gonna pretend there's not a difference between the three of us and the three of them, you know, the original three, but...
Dinah Drake: Spying on us? I mean, come on. It crosses a line.
Curtis Holt: Yeah. And I just don't like the way that it makes me feel. Now I'm stressed.
[he grabs Rene's burger and takes a bite]
Curtis Holt: Wow. It's good. It's real good.

Black Canary: No sign of Lance or Laurel.
Wild Dog: We can't see anything from up here. Let's search the building.
John Diggle: Green Arrow said stay put until he makes the exchange.
Wild Dog: What? We're... we're his eyes and ears and we can't even look around?
Felicity Smoak: Guys, we need you as backup.
Mr. Terrific: Well, maybe if you bugged Lance like you bugged us, we'd know where he was.
Felicity Smoak: Whoa, whoa. We didn't bug you guys. We tracked your GPS. It's totally different.
Mr. Terrific: [turning off his comm] Bugging me now.
Felicity Smoak: You know I can hear you through Wild Dog's comms. You know that, right?

Rene Ramirez: Look, man. I know you're pissed at me, and I don't care, because you left us blind out there, and I wasn't gonna let Lance die just because you didn't trust us enough to go off leash and look for him.
Oliver Queen: When we are in the field, there is a clear chain of command, plain and simple.
Rene Ramirez: I've been the same guy tonight that I've always been since you brought me onto this team.
Oliver Queen: Rene, yes, that's true. You have; sometimes, you go your own way.
Rene Ramirez: That's right.
Oliver Queen: And I put up with it because I trusted you.
Rene Ramirez: What's that supposed to mean?
Oliver Queen: You got a second chance tonight, my friend, and you broke our trust again. You don't get a third. You're off the team.
Rene Ramirez: Just like that?
Oliver Queen: Just like that.
Rene Ramirez: [turning to leave] It's been real, y'all.
Dinah Drake: Yeah, I hate to say it, but Oliver is right. We're a team. We need to... we need to trust each other, need to believe in each other. I don't believe in you anymore.
John Diggle: Dinah.
Dinah Drake: Don't. It's too late. I'm out, too.

Dinah Drake: You have to stop contacting me. I've done all I'm willing to do for you.
Vincent Sobel: I'm not here to ask for a favor.
Dinah Drake: Then what do you want?
Vincent Sobel: I miss you, D. That dress reminds me of the one you wore for the Guzman op.
Dinah Drake: Don't do that. Don't try to dip me in nostalgia. I don't even know who you are anymore, Vince. The man I knew would never, *could* never, kill an innocent person.
Vincent Sobel: The people I've killed weren't innocent.
Dinah Drake: Oh, no? Well, what about that cop you accidentally shot last month?
Vincent Sobel: Collateral damage.
Dinah Drake: What?
Vincent Sobel: Are you trying to tell me that there hasn't been any in the war the Green Arrow's fighting?
Dinah Drake: No. No. There hasn't.
Vincent Sobel: Sounds like I'm not the only one who's changed. The Dinah Drake I knew was never this naive.
Dinah Drake: Oliver brought me back from a very dark, very bad place. He stopped me from becoming you.
Vincent Sobel: The only difference between him and me is that I don't lie to myself about what I'm doing. Look, I may not be a saint, but I do know this. I care about you. I always have and always will.
Dinah Drake: Don't contact me. Leave town. And if I catch you out in the field again, I won't let you get away a second time.

Vincent Sobel: Guess we should both be glad I didn't leave town like you said.
Dinah Drake: Oh, thanks. That's really what I needed right now, an "I told you so".
Vincent Sobel: You okay? You don't look it.
Dinah Drake: I don't really want to talk about it.
Vincent Sobel: Then why'd you reach out?
Dinah Drake: 'Cause I had no one else to call.
Vincent Sobel: I'll try not to be insulted by that.
Dinah Drake: I really needed someone who believed in me. I needed a friend.
Vincent Sobel: Friends. I can do that.
