Mother's Milk and Edgar in “Unfinished Business”

You know, my father spent his whole life fighting Vought. And here I am, smoking a fuckin' cigar with Stan Edgar.

Edgar

I remember your father, you know. He was impressive. Over thirty Ivy League attorneys at Vought, and one small-time Harlem lawyer made them work weekends and holidays.

Damn fuckin' straight he did.

Edgar

But he couldn't win. It's why, ultimately, you won't win either. You're fighting an unbeatable foe. You know that, right?

Who? Vought?

Edgar

Please. It's more powerful than Vought. Or Homelander. More powerful than nature or life itself. It's profit and loss; supply and demand; the elegant flow of currency across the globe. We're just cogs in a great machine... and we all have our part to play. Say you kill Soldier Boy, or Homelander, or even release this virus. When superheroes go out of fashion, something else will just take their place. Because corporations must still grow. Money must still be made. The machine must still be fed. That is the way of the world.

Motherfucker. When this is all over... you're aiming to run Vought again, ain't you?

Edgar

Like I said. We all have our part to play.

[pause] If that day ever comes... I have a part to play, too. And that's to put a bullet in your fuckin' skull.
