You think it really was Edgar and the mayor, maybe Jake Tapper? Just trying to fuck with me? Make me look ridiculous?
Or maybe, you're just a paranoid malignant narcissist who thinks everything is about you.
[smiles slyly] Mmm, it's not paranoia if they're really out to get you, though. And you, Maeve... You're out to get me, aren't you?
What are you talking about?
William Butcher. I can smell him all over you. You really will do anything to hurt me, won't you? So, what are you and William cooking up, hmm? Maybe you two brought that supervillain to town.
Oh, John. John, come on! You're talking crazy. I'm not cooking anything up with Butcher. Let's talk about this.
Don't you dare fucking "John" me. You're not gonna weasel your way out of this. You know, the real tragic thing in all of this is that more than anyone, I knew what it was like for you. Swarmed everywhere we went. Every little mistake, front-page news. It is lonely at the top, yes. But at least we had each other. We were lonely together. And I loved you in my own... way. But you... what happened? Was anything about us ever real? Hmm?
[beat; leans forward and whispers in his ear] From the start... I hated you. But what's more... I fucking pitied you.
You're completely and utterly alone. You're getting old and bitter. You pity me? [chuckles] That's actually kinda funny, don't you think? [leans into Maeve's face with a sinister smile] Hey… You wanna know something else that's funny?
[Homelander looks over Maeve's shoulder and raises his eyebrows. When Maeve turns to look, Black Noir suddenly attacks her.]
