• [watching Homelander's talk show appearance after Soldier Boy's attack] 

  Homelander : You think it really was Edgar and the mayor? Maybe Jake Tapper. Just trying to fuck with me? Make me look ridiculous?

  Queen Maeve : Or maybe, you're just a paranoid malignant narcissist who thinks everything is about you.

  Homelander : [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?

  Queen Maeve : What are you talking about?

  Homelander : 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.

  Queen Maeve : Oh, John. John! Come on. You're talking crazy. I'm not cooking anything up with Butcher. Let's talk about this.

  Homelander : 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?

  Queen Maeve : [leans forward and whispers in his ear]  From the start... I hated you. But what's more... I fucking pitied you.

  Homelander : [struggling to keep his rage under control]  You're completely and utterly alone. You're getting old and bitter. *You* pity *me*?

  [chuckles incredulously] 

  Homelander : That's actually kinda funny, don't you think?

  [leans into Maeve's face with a sinister smile] 

  Homelander : Hey. You wanna know something else that's funny?

  [looks over Maeve's shoulder and raises his eyebrows; Maeve turns to look and Black Noir suddenly attacks her]
