I never got to say goodbye to my father. There's questions I would've asked him. I would've asked him how he felt about what his company did, if he was conflicted, if he ever had doubts. Or maybe he was every inch of man we remember from the newsreels.
- Admit it-- This isn't the worst thing you've caught me doing.
- 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.
- You got a family?"
"Yes, and I will see them when I leave here. And you, Stark?"
"No."
"So you're a man who has everything, and nothing.
- —Tony Stark and Ho Yinsen
- Mr. Stark."
"Yeah?"
"Agent Coulson."
"Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, the guy from the..."
"Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division."
"Whew! God, you really need a new name for that."
"Yeah, I hear that a lot.
- —Phil Coulson and Tony Stark
- I am Iron Man.
- You think you're the only superhero in the world? Mr. Stark, you've become part of a bigger universe. You just don't know it yet."
"Who the hell are you?"
"Nick Fury. Director of S.H.I.E.L.D."
"Ah."
"I'm here to talk to you about the Avengers Initiative.
- —Nick Fury and Tony Stark
- Mr. Stark, we need to talk."
"You have reached the life model decoy of Tony Stark. Please leave a message."
"This is urgent."
"Then leave it urgently.
- —Phil Coulson and Tony Stark
- This is beyond you, metal man. Loki will face Asgardian justice."
"He gives up the cube, he's all yours. Until then, stay out of the way. Tourist.
- —Thor and Tony Stark
- That man is playing Galaga! He thought we wouldn't notice, but we did.
- It's good to meet you, Dr. Banner. Your work on anti-electron collisions is unparalleled. And I'm a huge fan of how you lose control and turn into an enormous green rage monster.
- Yeah. Big man in a suit of armor. Take that off, what are you?"
"Genius, billionaire, playboy philanthropist."
"I know guys with none of that and worth ten of you. I've seen the footage. The only thing that you really fight for is yourself. You're not the guy to make the sacrifice play. To lay down on the wire and let the other guy crawl over you."
"I think I would just cut the wire."
"Always a way out. You know you may not be a threat but you better stop pretending to be a hero."
"A hero? Like you? You're a laboratory experiment, Rogers. Everything special about you came out of a bottle.
- —Captain America and Iron Man
- What have I to fear?"
"The Avengers. It's what we call ourselves, sort of like a team. 'Earth's Mightiest Heroes' type thing."
"Yes, I've met them."
"Yeah. Takes us awhile to get any traction, I'll give you that one. But, let's do a head count here: Your brother, the demigod; a super soldier, a living legend who kind of lives up to the legend; a man with breath-taking anger management issues; a couple of master assassins, and you, big fella, you've managed to piss off every single one of them.
- —Loki and Tony Stark
- And there's one other person you pissed off. His name was Phil.
- —Tony Stark to Loki
- I have an army."
"We have a Hulk!
- —Loki and Tony Stark
- You guys ever try shawarma? There's a shawarma joint about two blocks from here. I don't know what it is, but I want to try it.
- A famous man once said, ‘we create our own demons’. Who said that? What does it even mean? It doesn’t matter; I said it because he said it, so now he was famous and then basically getting said by two well-known guys. I don’t…argh. Let me start again.
- I got the bombings Cap. Make her pay.
- —Anthony Stark to Steve Rogers about Ophelia Sarkissian
- There are HYDRA Agents all over the NY Public Library, here’s where the first bombs went off. I can handle these guys, so no support for Iron Man.
- Wow, these guys don’t really like to read. Don’t worry old grannies; Iron Man is here to save you and your books!
