This text appears to be a transcript of a dialogue or scene from a TV show or movie, likely a **dramatic confrontation** between two characters.

Oh my God, come on, are we serious, Oliver? What are you trying to prove, man? Evelyn betrays you, you killed people for less. I'm not going to kill her. I won't just let her go. What happened if you didn't kill her? You please, okay? You have made your point, Oliver. Tell, I don't know, I don't know. I'm gonna kill you. Finally, we're getting somewhere. Confess, you killed my father because he was a name on a list, and that's not really true, is it? The list was just an excuse, the hood, the disguise, just an excuse. The idea that all this is some heroic crusade is just an excuse. That's true for what? Ah, tell me you, tell me, Oliver, you tell me. I know what's going on through your mind, Oliver. You're thinking that you can get yourself free from those chains, slam me to the ground, and snap my neck just like I did to Evelyn. There it is, here's the look I've been waiting to see.

but it's not just about stopping me, is it? No, there's something else in there. Confess, Oliver. You don't kill because you have to. So why? Why do you do it? Because I wanted to. What? I want to. I wanted to, and I liked it. You.
