Pastor: I'm- I'm not really sure what you're saying, son.
Billy: I'm saying that if there is some geezer up there with a big white beard, he's a world heavyweight cunt.
Mother's: What?
Pastor: I-I'm sorry, did you just call God a C-word?
Billy: Yeah. He's got a hard-on for mass murder and giving kids cancer, and his big old answer, to the existential clusterfuck that is humanity, is to nail his own bleeding son to a plank. That is a cunt move. Come on, even you got to agree with me there.
Mother's: Hey, hey, hey, please...
Billy: We should lob a fucking nuke at him, get it over and done with. You know what I'm saying?
Mother's: We're sorry, sir. We apologize. My man...

What, if... if you're gay or if you're... Gandhi you're going to hell? I mean... And if you have sex before marriage, that's... that's not immoral. That's human. What's immoral is the guy who shoved his dick in my face.
[crowd gasps again]
The: [watching from the Seven's meeting room] Shit.
Madelyn: [watching from her office] Shit.
Annie: [Looks over at her mom and then back to the crowd] Here's the truth. Anyone who tells you they know the answers is lying. And I know, I know, I'm supposed to be this hero-idol-symbol-whatever, but... I don't know what the hell I'm doing. I'm just as scared and confused as the rest of you. I'm done pretending, and I'm done taking any more shit.

- Go back to homelander.
Hughie: So what they do is they take boxes full of that stuff and they ship it to hospitals all across the country. And apparently the latest one is going to the NICU at Mercer Hospital. It's in... it's midtown I think.
Mother's: You are a natural, kid. You're like the fucking... Rain Man of fucking people over.
