Quentin Lance
- Quentin Lance: I'll be gone in a minute.
- Quentin Lance: Just wait. Listen, back there at my office, I-I... I've never heard you sound so scared. It made me realize you were serious.
- Laurel Lance: Diaz is a monster. You can't even imagine what it's been like.
- Quentin Lance: Okay, back on the Earth where you're from, you got a guy named Damien Darhk, a real son of a bitch.
- Laurel Lance: Yeah.
- Quentin Lance: Well, I worked for him. I did whatever he wanted to keep my Laurel safe. And then when I betrayed him... he killed her.
- [handing her the signed executive order]
- Quentin Lance: What I'm trying to say is I know what it's like to do a bad thing for a good reason.
- Laurel Lance: You signed it.
- Quentin Lance: On one condition. You let me help you get away from this guy.
- Laurel Lance: I've known a lot of bad men. And they've been filled with anger and with hate, but not Diaz. He's not filled with anger inside because he's not even human inside. I watched him burn a man alive over a childhood grudge. If I cross him, what is he gonna do to me?
- Quentin Lance: Well, I'm not gonna let him do anything to you, all right?
- Laurel Lance: Yeah, because you're gonna protect me because you're the mayor. You're not the mayor of anything.
- Quentin Lance: Okay, listen, I'm gonna protect you, because I refuse to let what happened to my Laurel happen a second time.
- Quentin Lance: Are you proud of yourself, huh, turning a father's grief against him? As far as I'm concerned, you're worse than Diaz.
- Laurel Lance: You have no idea what he's capable of.
- Quentin Lance: I know what you're capable of. You can bring walls smashing down. You really expect me to believe that you are scared of a thug like Diaz?
- Laurel Lance: He is so much more than just a thug. And yes. Yes, I am scared. And you should be scared, too. So just sign the damn paper.
- Quentin Lance: I made this so easy for you, didn't I? I-I let you into my home, set you up, the law books, everything. I bet you and Diaz, you must've just loved that.
- Laurel Lance: Hate me all you want. I'm sure I deserve it. But I need you to sign this, or he's gonna kill you.
- Quentin Lance: Now that the daughter act is shot, there's no need for you to be in my home, is there? All right. So when I get home tonight, please, I just... I'd like you to be gone, all right? Please just be gone.
- Laurel Lance: Quentin...
- Quentin Lance: Please get out of here now!
- [she hesitates]
- Quentin Lance: Now!
