- Hughie Campbell: Butcher, can I uh...
- [Butcher breathing heavily]
- Hughie Campbell: What are you doing?
- Billy Butcher: Contingency. In case things go ass over tit at the lab.
- [Hughie starts closing the door]
- Hughie Campbell: I want to try some.
- Billy Butcher: [looks at Hughie] Don't be daft. This shit is poison, Hughie. A lad like you don't want no part of it.
- Hughie Campbell: What, you mean like a loser? A fuckup?
- Billy Butcher: Sooner or later, Homelander will find Ryan. Okay? It's just a matter of time. I have to do this, all right? You don't.
- Hughie Campbell: Annie's in just as much danger. Homelander almost lasered me in half in front of her, and it was like... it was like I was back with every bully that I ever had, just taking it. And then she had to SAVE me AGAIN.
- [Butcher puts on his vest, Hughie was suspicious]
- Hughie Campbell: Butcher, please. Please. Please. Because right now, I am so angry that I can't even BREATH.
- [Hughie exhales]
- Billy Butcher: It's shittier. It's not power. It's punishment. You don't deserve none of it.
- [he walks out and opens the door]
- Hughie Campbell: What, and you do?
- Billy Butcher: Get ready to go.
- [he starts closing the door]
- Hughie Campbell: Wait, wait, d-d-do the others know?
- Billy Butcher: No, they do not. And if they find out, I'll put you in a fucking coma.
- Mother's Milk: Any idea what this Supe gun is supposed to look like?
- Billy Butcher: Ain't the joy in the discovery, eh?
- A-Train: Who asked you? Back there. Who the fuck asked you for your opinion?
- The Deep: [offended] I am a member of this team.
- A-Train: Please.
- [looks around, then raises his voice slightly]
- A-Train: Homelander's a great man.
- [lowers his voice]
- A-Train: But the way that you kiss his ass is fuckin' gross.
- The Deep: Hey, man. Look, I get it, okay? This is tough. Y'know, me handpicked by Homelander to come back, and you on your way out again. And a rebrand? Oh, this late in the game? Ouch. The new A-Train. How'd that work out for Eagle the Archer when he became Eagle the Rapper? Oh, that's right, it fucking didn't. It's just sad, man.
- A-Train: You're like Ashton Kutcher fucked a clownfish. You're a joke, and you're so dumb, you don't even know it.
- The Deep: [gets in A-Train's face and whispers angrily in his ear] Oh, yeah? Well, how 'bout I tell Homelander who really leaked all that Nazi shit on Stormfront?
- A-Train: How 'bout I tell him you fished the Flight 37 video out of the Atlantic and gave it to Maeve?
- [Deep shoves him away]
- The Deep: What, come on! Run at me, bro! I forgot your legs don't fuckin' work!
- [A-Train punches him hard in the chest]
- The Deep: [doubled over in pain] You gill-punched me!
- A-Train: Yeah!
- The Deep: Motherfucker!
- [he tackles A-Train into the wall, but both collapse to the ground, groaning in pain; Homelander walks up to them]
- Homelander: Boys, boys, boys...
- [he helps Deep to his feet and pats him on the back, then looks down at A-Train still on the ground]
- Homelander: A-Train... just stay there and rest those useless fuckin' legs.
