Felicity: A Fern. It thrives on the light. I thought since আপনি were living here now, the place could do with a little sprucing.
Oliver: I let আপনি buy me a bed.
Felicity: আপনি were sleeping on the floor.
Felicity: I'm going to head out, too. I have to pull an early shift at work today, which may অথবা may not be the most depressing thing I've ever said.
Oliver: But we're still on for tomorrow night?
Felicity: Absolutely. I am going to turn আপনি into corporate master of the universe. Those board members are going to be begging to sell কুইন Consolidated back to আপনি and your backers.
Oliver: Congratulations, John. And not just on the baby. আপনি and Lyla are happy.
John: Well, আপনি know, আপনি should try it some time.
Oliver: Last girlfriend, she's in the League of Assassins. My girlfriend before that, she shot my girlfriend before that. I'm not... not exactly a catch at the moment.
John: Maybe Felicity will change all that.
Oliver: It's... It's not the right time.
John: Things are as good now as they ever will be, Oliver. And আপনি প্রণয় her. আপনি even told her so.
Oliver: I was trying to fool Slade.
John: Yes. Except now the only person you're fooling is yourself. Thanks again.
Oliver: Hey, hey! How was work?
Felicity: "It" is not work. It is a soul crushing exercise in misery that offers health and dental. Suffice it to say, I am highly motivated to help convince the board to sell আপনি back the company. Unfortunately, আপনি don't really have the qualifications to run কুইন Consolidated, but what আপনি do have is passion. আপনি care about the company and the people that work there. That's what আপনি have to get across to them. আপনি got to speak from the heart.
Oliver: Felicity... Would আপনি like to go out to ডিনার with me?
Felicity: I'm being serious here, Oliver.
Oliver: So am I.
Felicity: I don't want read... too much into this, but are আপনি asking me out on a date? Like an actual date? Like a... date-date?
Oliver: Su-- I mean, implication being with ডিনার that you...
Felicity: Usually I'm the one talking in sentence fragments.
Oliver: Would like to go to ডিনার with me?
Felicity: Yes.
Oliver: Queen, party of two.
Felicity: Hi.
Oliver: Hi.
Felicity: Hi.
Felicity: What?
Oliver: Nothing. I'm just--
Felicity: Nervous?
Oliver: Yeah.
Felicity: Line forms behind me.
Oliver: Scotch. Neat.
Felicity: Just the water for me, thanks.
Oliver: Are you-- Are আপনি sure? The booze might sort of help with the whole--
Felicity: The alcohol is not going to mix well with the three benzos I took.
Oliver: Am I being crazy? I mean, what do we have to be nervous about?
Felicity: Well, we've already exhausted every topic that one would normally talk about on a first তারিখ and a সেকেন্ড তারিখ and a third date, and every date, actually, and I've already seen আপনি shirtless. Multiple times. Shirtless, all the time.
Felicity: Thank you.
Oliver: Thank you.
Oliver: There are still a few things that আপনি don't know about me.
Felicity: Please. name one.
Oliver: The five years that I was away... I wasn't always on Lian Yu.
Felicity: I thought so. Where were you?
Oliver: Hong Kong... for one. And I have been thinking a lot recently about... My time there. The choices that I had to make.
Felicity: Those years sound like they were full of a whole lot of suck.
Oliver: I'm sorry. I'm just a little out of my element. The entire time that I was gone, I could never... completely trust someone. And when that goes on for so long, আপনি stop... seeing people for people. আপনি see... threats. অথবা targets. And when I decided to come home, I... I just didn't know how to turn that part of me off. Then I walked into your office. আপনি were the first person that I could see as a... a person. There was just something about you.
Felicity: Oh, yeah, I was chewing on a pen.
Oliver: It was red. Do আপনি remember when I told আপনি that because of what we do, I didn't think that I could be with someone that I... that I could really care about?
Felicity: Yeah, I remember.
Oliver: So maybe I was wrong.
Felicity: Oliver, are you--
Oliver: We need to talk.
Felicity: I don't want to talk. Which for me, I know, is a little unprecedented. But... As soon as we talk, it's over.
Oliver: I'm so sorry. I thought that I could be me and The Arrow... But I can't. Not now. Maybe not ever.
Felicity: Then say never. Stop... Dangling maybes. Say it's never going to work out between us. Say আপনি never loved me, say you--
Oliver: Felicity... Don't ask me to say that I don't প্রণয় you.
Felicity: I told আপনি as soon as we talked... It would be over.
