- The Legend: I swear on my kids' lives.
- Billy Butcher: You hate your fucking kids.
- The Legend: So would you, if you met them.
- Crimson Countess: Ben? Is that really you? You look so young.
- Soldier Boy: You don't.
- Crimson Countess: I'm so, so sorry. It wasn't my idea. God, you got to believe me. I-I...
- Soldier Boy: How much the the Russians pay you? Hmm?
- Crimson Countess: They didn't.
- Soldier Boy: What? They didn't pay you anything? I loved you. All those years... that they burned me and that they pumped me full of poison, I held onto the hope that you would come. That you would save me. Because I still loved you.
- Crimson Countess: I didn't love you. I hated you. We all did.
- Soldier Boy: You're that asshole from the lab.
- Billy Butcher: That's right. I'm the arsehole that let you out. Russian Porta-Loos, eh? You want the Countess's head on a spike, don't you? Well, she's in there, yours for the taking. Consider it a gesture of good faith.
- Soldier Boy: Good faith for what?
- Billy Butcher: I was thinking that you and I could come to a little arrangement. What you lot call a team up.
- Little Nina: You know, Sergei, there is this absolute natural law. That law, it says you do not fuck me, I fuck you.
- [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]
