Stan Edgar, Butcher and others in “Unfinished Business”

Stan Edgar

Homelander's a friend. Why would I betray him?

Because you're a ruthless bastard.

Edgar

That's hurtful.

You turned a racist piece of shite into America's sweetheart. Now, what word would you use?

Edgar

[pause; sips water] Stormfront's good at making people angry. Angry people want Compound V. Compound V raises our stock price. Look, I'd have preferred V remained a secret, but we play with the cards we're dealt. It's not ruthless; it's prices per share. That's all.

Maybe you should take a look in the mirror, mate. 'Cause that bitch should bother you.

Edgar

Of course she does. But it's not about me. I can't lash out like some raging, entitled maniac. That's a white man's luxury.

So it's just business, then, eh?

Edgar

When, Mr. Butcher, in history, has it ever been about anything different?
