Тони Старк

I'm gonna need the suit back.

For how long?

Forever!

No. No, no, no. Please... You don't understand... This is all I have. I'm nothing without this suit.

If you're nothing without this suit, then you shouldn't have it.

Don't stress him out. Don't do anything stupid. I've seen his cardiogram.

That's not a hug, I'm just grabbing the door for you. We're not... we're not there yet.

Don't cut me off when I'm complimenting you.

I was wrong about you. I think with a little more mentoring you could be a real asset to the team.

I'm sorry, Mr. Stark, but do you honestly expect us to believe that that was a bodyguard in a suit that conveniently appeared, despite the fact that...

I know that it's confusing. It is one thing to question the official story, and another thing entirely to make wild accusations, or insinuate that I'm a superhero.

I never said you were a superhero.

Didn't? Well, good, because that would be outlandish and, uh, fantastic. I'm just not the hero type. Clearly. With this laundry list of character defects, all the mistakes I've made, largely public.

[whispers to Tony] Just stick to the cards, man.

Yeah, okay. The truth is... I am Iron Man.

Got a family?

Yes, and I will see them when I leave here. And you, Stark?

No.

No? So you're a man who has everything... and nothing.

Iron Man. That's kind of catchy. It's got a nice ring to it. I mean it's not technically accurate. The suit's a gold titanium alloy, but it's kind of evocative, the imagery, anyway.

We got to go. Move for me, come on. We got a plan. We're gonna stick to it.

This was always the plan, Stark...

Come on, you're gonna go see your family. Get up.

My family is dead. I'm going to see them now, Stark. It's okay, I want this... I want this.

Thank you for saving me.

Don't waste it. Don't waste your life.

For lack of a better option, Dummy is still on fire safety. If you douse me again, and I'm not on fire, I'm donating you to a city college.

[performs test successfully, then lands. Dummy raises its extinguisher arm hopefully]

Please don't follow me around with it either because I feel like I'm gonna catch on fire spontaneously. Just stand down. If something happens, then come in.

What is going on here?

Let's face it, this is not the worst thing you've caught me doing.

Are those bullet holes?

But I could fire you if that would take the edge off.

I don't think you could tie your shoes without me.

I'd make it a week.

Really? What's your social security number?

Five...

Five? You're missing just a couple of digits there.

The other eight? So I got you for the other eight.

You've been called the Da Vinci of our time. What do you say to that?

Absolutely ridiculous. I don't paint.

And what do you say to your other nickname, the Merchant of Death?

That's not bad.

They say the best weapon is one you never have to fire. I respectfully disagree. I prefer the weapon you only have to fire once. That's how Dad did it, that's how America does it, and it's worked out pretty well so far. Find an excuse to let one of these off the chain, and I personally guarantee, the bad guys won't even want to come out of their caves. For your consideration, the Jericho.

What, you got plans?

As a matter of fact, I do.

I don't like it when you have plans.

I'm allowed to have plans on my birthday.

It's your birthday?

Yes.

I knew that. Already?

Yeah, isn't that strange? It's the same day as last year.

Get yourself something nice from me.

I already did.

Yeah? And?

Oh, it's very nice... very tasteful. Thank you, Mr. Stark.

You're welcome, Ms. Potts.
