[Homelander gives his speech in front of a crowd of Christians]
A terrible tragedy befell our nation last week. Terrible. Now, let's not mince words about this. We were attacked.
[The crowd starts applauding and cheering. Cut to Stillwell nervously watching the event from her office.]
America was attacked. Some people… They want me to come out here and speak empty platitudes to you all. A little bit of corporate talk. But I don't wanna do that. I can't do that. You wanna know why?
Why?
Because I believe that what God wants me to do is get on over there, find the filthy bastards that masterminded this… whatever cave they're in, and introduce them to a little thing called God's judgment! That's what I think! Sounds like the American thing to do! Sounds like the right thing to do! But no! No, no, no, no, no! Apparently, I gotta wait for Congress to say it's okay! [pause; the crowd boos in response] Right? I say, I answer to a higher law.
[The crowd cheers for him again]
Wasn't I chosen to save you?! Is it not my God-given purpose to protect the United States of America?!
[As the crowd chants his name, Homelander spreads his arms out, floats up in the air, and slowly hovers over to them]
Psalm 58:10: "The righteous shall rejoice when he sees the vengeance, and he will bathe his feet in the blood of the wicked!"
