[Firecracker sees Homelander sitting on the couch in the Seven common room]
Homelander… How was L.A.? Did you catch tonight's Truthbomb?
I did indeed. And it was a real barn-burner. Well done.
[smiles] Thank you, sir. That means the world.
[pause] How's sеx with my father? [Firecracker's smile disappears] Is he good at it? Are you thinking about me when you're making love to him?
I never meant to cross a line or offend you in...
Oh, no. No, no, no, no. Don't fret, little one. I don't care about the sеx, really. But I do care about your little chats after sеx.
Sir, whatever Soldier Boy told you, I can assure you that I...
You mean your inner turmoil when it comes to me and, uh... Jesus? Are you thinking of Jesus when you're praising me?
No, you are my one and only savior.
You say that, but your jagged little heart is whirring like a hummingbird. [sighs; gets up from the couch] You're supposed to worship me, love me and me alone.
I do.
I believed in you. Turns out, you don't believe in me. [pause] I need you to collect your things and leave.
But I do believe in you. I love you! I'm the only one here who ever has! I gave you everything! I gave you my soul! Everybody else here, they're just... They're just scared of you. Or they want something from you, but I have always loved you for you. Just the strongest, smartest, best man on Earth.
[scoffs] Man?
No, no, no, no, no. [gets in front of Homelander] A god. No. No, the God. My Lord, that look you used to get when you'd suckle me? I felt like Mother Mary herself. I felt blessed to nourish someone as important as you. [pause; Homelander sighs] But nothing I ever did was good enough, was it? You cast me out into the cold, which was so much worse than never feeling your warmth in the first place. So all I have been tryin' to do is to get you to see me the way that you used to. Hell, only reason I was with Soldier Boy was that your reflected light is better than no light at all. Please, sir. I love you. We all need love, don't we? Even God.
[Homelander reaches his hand out to touch Firecracker's cheek, then kills her by impaling her head on the left wing of an eagle statue]
