[Tony looks up, anger blazing again in his own eyes.] Well, you have a funny way of apologizing. "I ditched your dad with another supervillain, you need to come help me in my quest to take over the world so he doesn't get horribly murdered before you ever even get to see him again"? Not really what I was looking for! Was that supposed to be what convinced us to take you back? You took every chance you had to hurt us and drive us further away, and you're mad because we didn't come running after you?! What did you expect? Gah!

[Tony throws up his hands and stands abruptly. He starts pacing, fuming.] You-- you keep doing this, acting like it's my fault that you got hurt when you were doing it to yourself! You turned your back on us, not the other way around. God, Gene, you expect people to feel sorry for you, but any time you have a chance to make things right, you piss it away, and turn on anyone who might have been willing to help!

[Tony wants to grab Gene by the shoulders and shake some goddamn sense into him. Don't you see? Don't you see what you're doing? How can you still be so dense?]

You can't-- you can't do something horrible, and then just monologue about how you only did it because you were sad, and expect that to suddenly make it okay!
