General Shreve, Baron Reiter, Konstantin Kovar. You keep looking for new fights when the real fight has been in front of you all along. Your father literally wrote it for you, a list of all the Yurieviches and Kovars in Starling City.
He told me he left me a message.
And yet you still don't return home. Why do you deny your father's wish for you?
You saw the reason tonight. I am not the man that my father raised. Not anymore.
You're afraid. Of what's happened to you, of what you've become, and you're running from it.
How do you know all this?
Because I've been there. And I can help you find your way back. You think yourself a monster.
No. I am a monster.
[Talia brings out a trunk.]
There is a monster inside you, yes. But it is not you.
I don't see the difference.
No. You need to create one. [opens the trunk, takes out a uniform] You need to give the monster an identity. It's only when the monster becomes someone else -- something else -- that you're free to be Oliver Queen.
