[to Moira] The Oliver you lost might not be the one they found.

S1 E15Unfinished Business
Why are you here, Ollie?
To apologize. It was my fault. I want to ask you not to blame her.
For what? Falling under your spell? How could I possibly blame her for doing the same thing I did?
I never meant...
She was my sister. I couldn't be angry because she was dead. I couldn't grieve because I was angry. That's what happens when your sister dies while screwing your boyfriend. We buried an empty coffin because her body was at the bottom of the ocean where you left her. It should have been you.
I know it is too late to say this but I am sorry.
Yeah, I am sorry, too. I had hoped you'd rot in hell a lot longer than five years.
By my rough estimate, you have not had sex in 1839 days. As your wingman, I highly recommend Carmen Golden.
Which one is she?
The one that looks like the chick from Twilight.
What's Twilight?
You're so better off not knowing.
Laurel, you always saw the best in me. Right now, that's what you're doing, looking at me and you wondering if that island changed me somehow, if it made me a better person, It didn't. Stay away from me, otherwise I am just gonna hurt you again, but this time it will be worse.
You know what, Oliver. You are wrong, that island did change you, at least now you are honest.
[Voiceover] She says the island changed me. She has no idea how much. There are many more names on the list. Those who rule my city through intimidation and fear. Every last one of them will wish I had died on that island.
I'm a lawyer. I live to argue.
I'm your father. I live to keep you safe.
How am I supposed to stay away from you if you won't stay away from me?
I...
What are you doing here, Ollie?
My sister took...she put it out to me that I have been distant since I got back and that it would probably be a good idea if I let somebody in.
So, you thought to start with the first person you pushed away?!
I did that to protect you, and I saw you yesterday and I realized that I hurt you.
My mother wants me to join the company. Yeah, take my rightful place.
I can't exactly picture you as master of the universe.
I thought I didn't need police protection any more.
I thought I didn't need a reason to see my own daughter.
[speaking to his father's tombstone] I didn't know how painful it would be to keep my secrets. You asked me to save the city, to right the wrong. I will, I swear, but to do that, I can't be the Oliver that everyone wants me to be, which means that sometimes...to honor your wishes, I need to dishonor your memory.
So how was your evening, sir?
You mean after I said I had to go the bathroom at dinner and never came back?
I guess from now on I'll be watching you pee.
You're grounded for two weeks.
Grounded? I've never been grounded.
Well, you never committed larceny before.
Since when do you care?
I've always cared. I'm your mother.
Look, we've had a good thing for the last five years. Why mess with that now?
No, we are paying off store owners to keep your record clean, so clearly, it hasn't been working.
And you're going to teach me? It's Oliver, isn't it? His judgmental hypocrisy is rubbing off on you.
No, I don't need Oliver to teach me how to parent you. You'll be home by 4:00.
Or what? You're going to call the cops on me? Tell them I say hi.
[to Oliver] You're not my father. And you're barely my brother.
I admire your work. Guess you won't be extending me any professional courtesy.
We're not in the same line of work. Your profession is murder.
You've taken lives.
For the good of others. You're out for yourself.
You don't think much of me, do you?
Actually, sir, I have a very high regard for how... perceptive you are.
