Hughie and Annie in “Unfinished Business”

Hughie

Thanks for picking me up. I'm sure you wanna tell me to go fuck myself.

I'm not saying anything.

Hughie

'Cause if you did wanna say that, I mean, you could. [sighs]

What happened?

Hughie

Uh... Butcher. Just out of nowhere, knocked me out.

Did he tell you?

Hughie

Tell me what?

That Temp V is fatal. If you shot up any more, you'd probably be dead right now. [Hughie stares at her] Oh, my fucking God, he didn't tell you! That asshole!

Hughie

Saved my life.

Saved your life? It looks like he gave you a concussion.

Hughie

He stopped me from taking more V. [pause] Have you ever had pizza rolls?

Like… middle school sleepover pizza rolls?

Hughie

Yeah. Dad bought them in bulk after Mom left. Every night, we'd have pizza rolls, watch Remington Steele, try not to touch her spot on the couch. And he never fought back for her or anything. Just sat there eating pizza rolls. I spent so much time thinking he was… sad and–and weak. Just a loser. But you know what? Dad… was there. Taking care of me during the worst days of his life, just trying to keep the lights on and a… and a roof above our heads. He wasn't weak. I just, I–I didn't know what strength was. Annie, I'm–I'm so sorry. I've been an asshole. I never should have… I–I never should've put any of this onto you.

Thank you for saying that.

Hughie

Literally every neuron in your brain is screaming "I told you so", so why don't you just say it before your head explodes?

Oh, my God! I fucking told you so!

Hughie

Feel good to get that out?

So satisfying.
