[The Boys are all covered in blood and guts after impaling The Deep's whale with their speedboat.]
[spits out whale blood] Fuckin' diabolical! Where's Hughie?!
[Butcher sees Hughie lying down inside the whale carcass in utter shellshock]
Hughie! Oh, geez. You alright? Come on, son. We gotta leg it. Deep's here, and The Seven won't be too far behind.
Um, you know what? You know, you guys go ahead. You guys go ahead. I'm good.
Eh? What?
Just gonna sit here and wait, if you don't mind.
What the fuck are you waitin' for?!
[sighs] My second wind.
Alright, son. Come on. [tries to get Hughie up] Come on.
GET YOUR FUCKING HANDS OFF OF ME!
Geez! Alright, fine. Suit yourself. [pause; to M.M. and Frenchie as he gets out] C'mon, let's go!
Whoa, we can't leave the kid, man.
Pinocchio is stayin' put. Have at it.
[Later, M.M. is able to convince Hughie to join them, but Hughie is still in a daze as they try to escape through the sewers.]
Hey, the kid's fallin' apart. You know that, right?
Well, what'd you expect? He's a fuckin' civilian.
No, no, no. It's not just him. It's all of us.
[to Hughie] Move the feet. Just move the feet, come on. Move.
We're at our breaking point–at each other's throats–and you keep pushin' us and pushin'. It's like–
Right over the fuckin' finish line. We just need to keep our shit together a little bit longer, okay? We hand that cunt over, and I get Becca, and you get your girls.
Butcher–
We're right fuckin'–
Butcher! Butcher, we're right there. Hughie's not gonna make it. And you need that kid more than any one of us. He's your canary.
My canary?
You let your canary die, how you gonna know when you've gone too far?
Oh… I mean, what a load of bollocks. [pause; looks briefly at Hughie] Hell, I tried, alright? The kid doesn't want a part of me, so fuck him.
