The Ring
"Felicity?"
"Ahh! Oliver! You shouldn't sneak up on people like that. We've talked about this before. Am I going to have to put a bell around your neck?"
"What are you hiding behind your back?"
"Um… Uh… nothing."
"Show me."
"No."
"Come on felicity, let me see."
"NO! Go away, can't a girl have some privacy around here. Shoo."
"Fe-li-ci-ty… why did you just turn away from me."
"Frack… see I'm not hiding anything."
"You're only showing me one hand. Take your other hand out of your pocket."
"No, my hand's cold."
"Mhmmm… so your left hand's cold but your right one isn't? You know I can warm that hand right up for you."
"Oliver, please can you just go upstairs and shower, or take your shirt off, or something."
"I showered in foundry before I left, and I don't really need to go upstairs to take off my shirt. I can do that right here, you've seen it all before.
"Ugh. Why are you being such a pain in the ass tonight?"
"…."
"I'm hungry, can you please make us some dinner."
"We had dinner back at the foundry, remember? You demolished your burger and half of mine while I was on the salmon ladder. There's no way you're hungry again. Now…"
"Hey! Let go of my arm…"
"You're not going anywhere until you show me what you're hiding."
"I already told you I don't want to."
"I can do this all night."
"Come on Oliver, can't you drop it, just this once."
"No."
"I need to use the bathroom."
"No you don't."
"Yes I do. I really need to pee. Please let go of my arm."
"Fine. Hey Felicity, try using liquid soap. It should do the trick."
"..."
"I thought you really needed to pee."
"Dammit Oliver, you know, don't you?"
"Mmhmm."
"I'm so sorry."
"Hey, you have nothing to be sorry about."
"But I ruined your big surprise, or whatever special thing you had planned."
"Yeah, well it wouldn't be the first time someone's ruined those plans for me."
"Huh… oh my god... you mean back in…"
"Yep."
"When Thea and Laurel interrupted desert?"
"Mmmhm"
"Oh god, now I feel worse for ruining everything."
"Felicity, look at me. I don't care if my plans were ruined, there's only one thing I care about and that's your answer. Now will you show me your hand?"
"I love it Oliver. It's beautiful."
"It was my mother's ring. So does this mean the answer is yes?"
"Yes to what? I didn't hear a question… yet."
"Felicity. I love you more than anything else in this world, and I know that you're the only person I want to spend the rest of my life with. When I look into your eyes, I see a reflection of the two of us and the life I hope we'll share together. I'm head over heels in love with you, and now I'm on my knees…Felicity Smoak, will you marry me?"
"Yes! Of course I'll marry you. Took you long enough to ask. I've been trying that ring on every day for the last two months."
"I know, and I've spent two months trying to catch you red handed."
"So you've known all this time and you didn't say a word!"
"Yep"
"..."
"Felicity, I love you and I'm going to spend the rest of my life showing you how much."
"I love you too... Oliver! Put me down! What are you doing?"
"What do you think I'm doing? I'm taking my fiancée upstairs to celebrate."
