Joseph, I understand being alone, but it doesn't give you the right to kill him.

Oliver

Thea: Why do you have a gun?
Roy: Because I'm no good with knives.

I don't like the idea that somebody dangerous is out there. Somebody else. Because, typically, they don't show my level of restraint.

Oliver

Oliver

Me being happy isn't what's important right now.

Oliver

Helena: You won't shoot me. You're not a murder, remember?
Oliver: But you are and if I let you go, that blood will be on my hands. I'm sorry.

Then let's talk about Helena. Oliver, if you didn't still have feelings for this girl you would have thought of a different solution than letting her extort you into killing someone.

Det. Lance

Tommy: Why should I trust you?
Oliver: Because you always have.
Tommy: Oliver.

Oliver
