Hughie and Butcher in “Unfinished Business”

Hughie

How are we gonna get the guys back?

We're on our own. We've gotta get to Stillwell before the walls close in.

Hughie

Who gives a fuck about Stillwell?! We have to go back for them!

You don't get it, Hughie. We got about a couple hours before they find us, and that's if we're lucky. We gotta hit back and hit back now.

Hughie

You're abandoning them. I mean, they all… They risked their… Mother's Milk has a daughter.

They'd want us to finish the job.

Hughie

Your job! Your job, not theirs! It's all about Homelander, isn't it?

And A-Train. This is your fuckin' shit, too, Hughie. I promised you payback, didn't I?

Hughie

Mallory give you the same speech back in the day?

Yeah. Yeah, she did, but she broke her promise. I'm keepin' mine.

Hughie

[laughs in disbelief] I'm so fucking stupid. You never cared about me… or Robin, did you? I was just useful to you.

Fuck, Hughie. Of course you're useful. I mean, that's why you're here, innit? Now, we just gotta take one more step… Yeah? Come on.

Hughie

No. We have to save them.

For fuck's sakes, Hughie. We don't have time for this shit right now, okay? We get Stillwell. Now, get in the fuckin' car!

Hughie

Then what? Becca comes back from the dead? Robin, too? This is never gonna stop! It's just gonna be more blood and… awfulness!

[gets in Hughie's face] That's the fuckin' game. If you don't like to play, why did you join the fuckin' team?

Hughie

Mallory's right. You're just gonna drag us all down with you. Not me. Not anymore.

You're a fuckin' pathetic cunt and an insult to Robin's memory.

Hughie

I think I'm doing this for her.

…Goodbye, Hughie.
