Iron Man

Christine Everheart: Mr. Stark, you've been called the Da Vinci of our time. What do you say to that? Tony: Absolutely ridiculous, I don't paint. Everheart: What do you say to your other nickname, "The Merchant of Death"? Tony: That's not bad.

Pepper Potts: I have your clothes here; they've been dry-cleaned and pressed. And there's a car waiting for you outside that will take you anywhere you'd like to go. Everheart: You must be the famous Pepper Potts. Pepper: [smiling] Indeed I am. Everheart: After all these years, Tony still has you picking up the dry cleaning. Pepper: I do anything and everything Mr. Stark requires. Including, occasionally, taking out the trash. [still smiling] Will that be all?

Tony: We gotta go. Come on, move with me. We have a plan, and we're going to stick to it. Yinsen: This was always the plan, Stark. Tony: Come on, you're going to go see your family. Get up. Yinsen: My family is dead, Stark. And I'm going to see them now. [sees Tony is upset] It's okay. I want this. I want this. Tony: Thank you for saving me. Yinsen: Don't waste it. Don't waste your life, Stark. [dies]

Tony: 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. I saw young Americans killed by the very weapons I created to defend them and protect them. And I saw that I had become part of a system that is comfortable with zero accountability. Press Reporter #1: Mr. Stark, what happened over there? Tony: I had my eyes opened. I came to realize that I had more to offer this world than just making things that blow up. And that is why, effective immediately, I am shutting down the weapons manufacturing division of Stark Industries. [reporters become agitated]

Tony: A little ostentatious, don't you think? J.A.R.V.I.S.: What was I thinking? You're usually so discreet. Tony: Tell you what. Throw a little hot-rod red in there. J.A.R.V.I.S.: Oh yes. That should help you keep a low profile. [seconds later] The render is complete. Tony: Hey, I like it. Fabricate it, paint it. J.A.R.V.I.S.: Beginning automated assembly. Estimated completion time is five hours. Tony: Don't wait up for me, honey.

Tony Stark: I was out of town for a couple months, in case you didn't hear. Christine Everhart: Is this what you call accountability? It's a town called Gulmira. Heard of it? Tony Stark: When were these taken? Christine Everhart: Yesterday. Tony Stark: I didn't approve any shipment. Christine Everhart: Well, your company did. Tony Stark: Well, I'm not my company. Obadiah Stane: Please, do you mind? Tony Stark: Have you seen these pictures? What's going on in Gulmira? Obadiah Stane: Tony, Tony. You can't afford to be this naive. Tony Stark: You know what? I was naive before, when they said, "Here's the line. We don't cross it. This is how we do business." If we're double-dealing under the table... Are we?
