After being held captive in an Afghan cave, billionaire engineer Tony Stark creates a unique weaponized suit of armor to fight evil.
There’s been speculation that I was involved in the events that occurred on the freeway and the rooftop…
– Tony Stark
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…
– Christine Everheart
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.
– Tony Stark
I never said you were a superhero.
– Christine Everheart
Didn’t?
– Tony Stark
Mmm-mmm.
– Christine Everheart
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.
– Tony Stark
Just stick to the cards, man.
– Rhodey
Yeah, okay.
– Tony Stark
The truth is…
– Tony Stark
I am Iron Man.
– Tony Stark
Tony, you know that I would help you with anything, but I cannot help you if you’re going to start all this again.
– Virginia ‘Pepper’ Potts
There is nothing except this. There’s no art opening, no charity, nothing to sign. There’s the next mission, and nothing else.
– Tony Stark
Is that so? Well, then I quit.
– Virginia ‘Pepper’ Potts
You stood by my side all these years while I reaped the benefits of destruction. Now that I’m trying to protect the people I’ve put in harm’s way, you’re going to walk out?
– Tony Stark
You’re going to kill yourself, Tony. I’m not going to be a part of it.
– Virginia ‘Pepper’ Potts
I shouldn’t be alive… unless it was for a reason. I’m not crazy, Pepper. I just finally know what I have to do. And I know in my heart that it’s right.
– Tony Stark
Pepper, uh, how big are your hands?
– Tony Stark
What?
– Virginia ‘Pepper’ Potts
How big are your hands?
– Tony Stark
I don’t understand why…
– Virginia ‘Pepper’ Potts
Get down here. I need you.
– Tony Stark
We gotta go. Come on, move with me. We got a plan, and we’re going to stick to it.
– Tony Stark
This was always the plan, Stark…
– Yinsen
Come on, you’re going to go see your family. Get up.
– Tony Stark
My family is dead, Stark… and I’m going to see them now. It’s okay, I want this… I want this.
– Yinsen
Thank you for saving me.
– Tony Stark
Don’t waste it… don’t waste your life, Stark.
– Yinsen
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 provocative, the imagery anyway.
– Tony Stark
Yeah, I can fly.
– Tony Stark
You got a family?
– Tony Stark
Yes, and I will see them when I leave here. And you, Stark?
– Yinsen
No.
– Tony Stark
So you’re a man who has everything… and nothing.
– Yinsen
Am I making you uncomfortable?
– Tony Stark
Oh, no, I always forget to wear deodorant and dance with my boss in a room full of people I work with in a dress with no back.
– Virginia ‘Pepper’ Potts
Well, you look great, you smell great. But I could fire you if that would take the edge off.
– Tony Stark
I don’t think you could tie your shoes without me.
– Virginia ‘Pepper’ Potts
I’d make it a week.
– Tony Stark
A week, really? What’s your social security number?
– Virginia ‘Pepper’ Potts
Five…
– Tony Stark
“Five?” You’re missing just a couple of digits.
– Virginia ‘Pepper’ Potts
Right, the other eight. Well, I have you for the other eight.
– Tony Stark
Good boy…
– Tony Stark
Hmmm. Your eyes are red. Tears for your long lost boss?
– Tony Stark
Tears of joy. I hate job hunting.
– Virginia ‘Pepper’ Potts
Yeah, well, vacation’s over.
– Tony Stark
What is going on here?
– Virginia ‘Pepper’ Potts
Let’s face it, this is not the worst thing you’ve caught me doing.
– Tony Stark
Are those bullet holes?
– Virginia ‘Pepper’ Potts
How ironic, Tony! Trying to rid the world of weapons, you gave it its best one ever! And now, I’m going to kill you with it!
– Obadiah Stane
Day 11, Test 37, Configuration 2.0. For lack of a better option, Dummy is still on fire safety.
– Tony Stark
If you douse me again, and I’m not on fire, I’m donating you to a city college. Seriously, we’re just gonna start off with 1% thrust capacity. And three… two… one.
– Tony Stark
Please don’t follow me around with it either because I feel like I’m going to catch on fire spontaneously. Just stand down. If something happens, then come in.
– Tony Stark
Give me a scotch. I’m starving.
– Tony Stark
They say that the best weapon is the 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. I present to you the newest in Stark Industries’ Freedom line. Find an excuse to let one of these off the chain, and I personally guarantee, the bad guys won’t even wanna come out of their caves. Ladies and gentlemen, for your consideration… the Jericho.
– Tony Stark
Evening, JARVIS!
– Tony Stark
Welcome home, sir…
– Jarvis
“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.
– Nick Fury
Who the hell are you?
– Tony Stark
Nick Fury. Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.
– Nick Fury
Ah.
– Tony Stark
I’m here to talk to you about the Avenger Initiative.
– Nick Fury
This looks important!
– Tony Stark
“Proof that Tony Stark has a heart.”
– Virginia ‘Pepper’ Potts
I feel like you’re driving me to court martial. This is crazy. What did I do? I feel like you’re gonna pull over and snuff me. What, you’re not allowed to talk? Hey, Forrest!
– Tony Stark
We can talk, sir.
– Jimmy
Oh, I see. So it’s personal.
– Tony Stark
No, you intimidate them.
– Ramirez
Good God, you’re a woman! I honestly, I couldn’t have called that. I mean, I would apologize, but isn’t that what we’re going for here? I thought of you as a soldier first.
– Tony Stark
I’m an airman.
– Ramirez
Well, you have actually excellent bone structure there. I’m kinda having a hard time not looking at you now. Is that weird?
– Tony Stark
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.
– Virginia ‘Pepper’ Potts
You must be the famous Pepper Potts.
– Christine Everheart
Indeed I am.
– Virginia ‘Pepper’ Potts
After all these years, Tony still has you picking up the dry cleaning.
– Christine Everheart
I do anything and everything Mr. Stark requires. Including occasionally taking out the trash. Will that be all?
– Virginia ‘Pepper’ Potts
Don’t ever, ever, ever, ask me to do anything like that, ever again!
– Virginia ‘Pepper’ Potts
I don’t have anyone but you.
– Tony Stark
I’ve never really had a taste for this kind of thing, but I must admit I’m deeply enjoying the suit!
– Obadiah Stane
