- Peggy Carter

"I'll-I'll get Howard on the line. He'll know what to do." "There's not enough time. This thing's moving too fast and it's heading for New York. I gotta put her in the water." "Please don't do this. W-we have time. We can work it out."

"I understand you're not happy with your meal." "You work here?" "Unfortunately, no. (Presses a fork into his side) Just to be clear, this is pressed into your brachial artery, it may be dull but I'm determined. Keep smiling. Once you start to bleed, you'll lose conciousness in fifteen seconds, you'll die in ninety unless someone comes to your aid. Now given your recent behavior, how likely do you think that is to happen? To prevent this not entirely unfortunate event from occurring, I suggest you find another place to eat. Do we understand each other?" "Yeah!" "Good. Oh, And one more thing... tip generously."

"Both, I imagine." "Your line of work requires support. People who care about your wellbeing, who will be there to stitch up your wounds." "If I allow people to get close to me, I'm putting them in danger." "So your solution is to remove yourself from the world you wish to protect. Where's the sense in that? There is not a man or woman, no matter how fit he or she may be, who is capable of carrying the entire world on their shoulders." "Steve was."

"All of my inventions are in your lab." "Then why is your moustache so sad?"

- Howard Stark and Peggy Carter

"What the hell do you think of me?" "I think you're a man out for his own gain no matter who you're charging. You are constantly finding holes to slither your way into in the hope of finding loose change, only to cry when you're bitten by another snake. You're a man who says "I love you" whilst looking over a woman's shoulder into the mirror. Steve Rogers dedicated his mind, his body, his life to the SSR and to this country, not to your bank account. I made the same pledge, but I'm not as good as Steve was. I forgot my pledge running around for you like a corporate spy. So thank you, Howard, for reminding me who Steve was and what I aspire to be. For all I know, you did steal your inventions."

- Howard Stark and Peggy Carter

"If you want to get to know New York--if you want to get know any place, you have to start with the people first." "I talk to people." "Real people with real jobs. Not the, uh, phony, superficial ones that pervade the city. Uh, you should start with Brooklyn first." "But I-I'd rather see the Statue of Liberty." "Oh, she'll still be there. But what she represents, the spirit of Lady Liberty, is founded is found in its people." "Wow. You sounded like Captain America just now." "That's not a bad thing."

"You sure you wanna get on that plane? Commandos could always use another good fighter. We just need to come up with a nickname for you." "Tempting, but I think it's time I put my days on the front lines behind me. Someone needs to mind the wheel back in the States. And I suppose someone needs to convince the SSR of Howard's innocence, wanker or not. I'll miss you." "Miss you, too, Peg. Wait a second. Miss you... Miss Union Jack! Whaddya think, fellas? Huh?" "Never speak again." "Okay."

"You think Ginger Rogers is a Russian assassin?" "You should have seen her eyes when I escorted her from Mr. Stark's villa. The darkest gates to the abyss."

Two... Wait. What if there are people behind this mirror that we're breaking?" "Then they may get hurt, there'll be a spray of glass." "I see. One... Two... Wait! What if those hypothetical people behind the mirror have guns?" "Then we may get hurt, there'll be a spray of bullets." "I see. One... Two... Three! (The two break the mirror) No people. Everybody wins." "I've just thought of something." "We're still attached to a table." "We are still attached to a table."

- Peggy Carter and Edwin Jarvis

It's just not the same." "You were always so dramatic. Look, you saved the world. We rather mucked it up." "You didn't. Knowing you helped found S.H.I.E.L.D. is half the reason I stayed." "The world has changed, and none of us can go back. All we can do is our best, and sometimes, the best that we can do, is to start over."

- Peggy Carter and Steve Rogers
