Who the fuck do you think you are? What, you think I don't see it? Trying to undermine me, steal my team.
Hold on a minute.
Let me tell you right now, it won't work. I'm the face of The Seven! Not you! Me! I still score higher in every demo that counts: 18 to 34, 18 to 49, 25 to 54! They all love me!
[sarcastically] Well, congratulations. I mean, this constant need to be loved by everyone is kinda pathetic, but um… Yay! [beat; Homelander activates his laser eyes] Okay. Okay, calm down. [pause; Homelander's eyes return to normal] I clearly pushed you a little far. I'm sorry. Look, I'm… I'm just trying to help.
Really? How? By taking what's mine? Let me tell you something right now: I built this team from the ground up, and there is no fucking way that anyone is gonna take it away from me.
You spent $273 million on that "Saving America" bullshit, and I am running circles around you with five guys on laptops churning out memes. I practically pay them with Arby's gift cards. You… You can't win the whole country anymore. No one can. So why are you even trying? You don't need fifty million people to love you. You need five million people fucking pissed. Emotion sells, anger sells. You have fans, I have soldiers. [pause] Look, I know that you probably won't believe this. I think that you are the best of us. I think that you are everything we should be. You just need a little help connecting with your audience. You know, change with the times. God knows I did.
[beat] I don't need help connecting with my audience. Thank you.
Okay. Well, just know I'm always here. Door is always open for anything.
