Hughie and Butcher in “Unfinished Business”

Hughie

If you and M.M. still think–

Oh, for fuck's sakes, Hughie. Knock it off with this V1 shite! You're doin' me fuckin' head in! [sees his dog Terror eating out of the trash] Oi, Terror. Cut it out. Come on. [to Hughie] Now, listen. If we do find that stuff, we're not makin' any fuckin' vaccines out of it, alright? We're not the department of fuckin' health. We burn that shit before Homelander gets his paws on it, and that's that.

Hughie

Well, if you wanna kill yourself, knock yourself out, but why do you have to decide for the rest of us?

Oh, 'cause I'm fuckin' right! 'Cause I've always been right! I've been tellin' you lot from the fuckin' start the sky is fallin', and guess what? The sky fuckin' fell.

Hughie

Well, you kinda helped bring it down.

Oh, don't give me that bollocks. Listen, Homelander thinks he's a fuckin' god. Once he becomes immortal, he's gonna start killin' like one, and we are talkin' millions of people. Now, are you tellin' me you're honestly happy to risk all of that for a life on the run with your girl, knowin' that you could've stopped it? You can live with that, can ya?

Hughie

What if it was Becca? You'd just let her die?

…I did let her die.

Hughie

Look… I know that Homelander comes first. I really do. All I'm asking is that we try. Annie and Kimiko deserve that much.
