[Hughie sees Kimiko suffering from radiation exposure inside a homemade uranium chamber while Butcher and Frenchie watch]
What the fuck is going on in here?
[to Frenchie] The second she's ready, we go the next dose, alright?
"Next dose?" Are you kidding?! Look at her! What are you doing?
Plan fuckin' B, my son. If at first you don't succeed, find another hole to fuck. See, Soldier Boy's flashy tіt blast got me thinkin', he–he weren't born with that power. The Ivans gave it to him through a consistent application of scientific methodology.
FrenchieThey threw an atom bomb worth of radiation at him.
Right. So, usin' the research we nicked from 'em a few donkeys back, me and Frenchie are doin' the same thing to Kimiko. She gets Soldier Boy's power, she tіt-blasts Homelander, bees and fuckin' honey.
So when we kept asking what you two were up to, and you kept saying, "Mind your fuckin' business, cunt," it was this?
Butcher, this is... the most insane-ass shit I ever heard. In a few weeks, you're gonna somehow do what it took the Russians over a decade?
Yeah, 'cause unlike the Ivans, we got us a livin', breathin' supercomputer bunked down in student services.
Sage? All she does is self-medicate and binge Love Island. This could fucking kill Kimiko. Frenchie…
Frenchie
No. It's not my wish.
Fuck Butcher. Who cares what he wants?
[Kimiko coughs and stumbles out of the uranium chamber]
Not Butcher. [panting heavily] Me. It's my call.
Oh Father's up to something big at Vought Studios, but we don't know what. Could be a trap.
Frenchie
Could be.
[to Frenchie] You stay here with Kimiko and Sage. We'll bust into the studio, nab the holy twat, stomp on his bollocks till he gives us Homelander's next move. And then I'll do the cunt and we'll call it an honest day's work, yeah?
No. Quit acting like we're going on a milk run. It's over. [voice breaking] We lost.
[beat] Posh Spice was easily the most shit member of the squad. Could barely sing or dance. No discernible talent whatsoever. Wasn't even featured on "Wannabe", but did that stop her? No. You look at her now... still married with Becks. Fifteen engagement rings, 32 Vogue covers, inducted by Prince William into the Order of the bloody British Empire. Even I doubted her move into women's apparel, but her line is a staple at Paris fuckin' Fashion Week. You see, despite her obvious disadvantages–includin' a tragic inability to smile–she never gave up, and we ain't givin' up either.
MSMother's Milk
[shakes his head] Your fuckin' pep talks.
Frenchie
Terrible.
Ah, bollocks. That was a fuckin' knockout.
[Frenchie taps on a wall to divert Homelander away from Kimiko and Sister Sage. Homelander immediately comes to Frenchie and sees him inside the homemade uranium chamber.]
The Frenchman. [opens the door] Where are the others? Where's Sage?
[Frenchie says nothing and smirks while giving Homelander the middle finger]
Oh, ha-ha-ha. [pause; walks into the chamber] You don't really think you're gonna recreate Soldier Boy's little party trick, do you?
Frenchie
We already did... and they're coming for you as we speak. So gargle my hairy nutsack, you Nazi putain. And gargle on this.
[Frenchie flips a lever up to expose Homelander and himself to radiation. They both groan in pain as their faces start blistering.]
Frenchie
Look at you. I bet you never danced a day in your life.
