Colonel.
Major.
Yeah.
Let's take it inside.
Clear the area.
Sir! I'm gonna have to ask you to exit the donut.
I told you I don't wanna join your super secret boyband.
No, see, I remember, you do everything myself.
How's it workin out for you?
I'm sorry, I don't wanna get off on the wrong foot, do I look in the patch or the eye?
Honestly I'm a bit hungover I'm not sure if you're real or if...
I am very real. I'm the realest person you're ever gonna meet.
- Just my luck. Where is the staff here? - Oh, that's not lookin too good.
It's getting worse.
We've secured the perimeter, but I don't think we should hold it for too much longer.
- You're fired. - That's not up to you.
- Tony... I want you to meet agent Romanoff - Hi
I'm a Shield shadow and I was tasked to you by Dr. Fury.
I suggest you apologize.
You've been very busy.
Made your girl your CEO, you've given away all your stuff.
You let your friend fly away with your suit.
- If I didn't know better... - You don't know better.
I didn't give it to him. He took it.
He took it? You're Iron Man and he just took it?
Little brother walked in there kicked your ass and took your suit?
Is that possible?
According to Mr. Stark's database security guidelines
There are redundancies to prevent unauthorized usage.
- What do you want from me? - What do we want from you? No, no, no!
What do you want from me.
You have become a problem, a problem I have to deal with.
- Contrary to your belief, you are not the center of my universe. - Yeah I get it.
I have bigger problems than you in the Southwest region to deal with. Hit him.
Are you gonna steal my kidney and sell it?
Could you please not do anything awful for 5 seconds?
What did you just do to me?
What did we just do for you.
That's lithium dioxide. It's gonna take the edge off. We're trying to get you back to work.
- Give me a couple of boxes and I'll be right as rain. - It's not a cure, it's just to break the symptoms.
- Then the lag is gonna be an easy fix. - Trust me I know I'm good at this stuff.
I've been looking for a suitable replacement for palladium.
I've tried every combination, every permutation of every known element.
Well, I'm here to tell you you haven't tried them all.
Hey, hey, hey. Special delivery.
Candygram!
I brought you something.
- We got you the bird, pal. - This is not my bird.
What do you mean? That's the bird.
I pulled a lot of strings to get this bird.
- It's a great bird. - It's a beautiful bird.
- We got this all the way from Russia. - Hey man, it's not my bird.
Well listen, even if it's not the bird, I mean this is a gorgeous bird.
I mean, look, don't get so attached to things, learn to let go.
Wait a minute. Jack, what is that?
Is that... That's not a helmet. What is that?
Ivan... What's this? Jack?
Is that a helmet? It doesn't look like a helmet to me. How are you supposed to get a head in there?
- Jack, could you put your head in there? - No. - Try to put your head in there.
Go ahead, try to put your head in there.
See Ivan, he can't put his head in there. That's...
That's not a helmet, it's a head.
I need to put a guy in there.
I need to fit a person in that suit, you understand?
Drone better.
What? Drone better? Why is drone better?
Why drone better?
People make problem.
Trust me, drone better.
Ivan, you know I like you. I got you the bird.
You said no problem. That's what you said to me, you said no problem.
Now I need suits. The government wants suits.
Like Iron Man, you understand?
That's what the people want. That's what's gonna make them happy.
Hey, man...
Don't get to attached to things.
Learn to let go.
These drones better steal the show, Ivan.
You understand? They better rock my world, Ivan.
Unbelievable.
This ought to get the Senate off my ass.
- It's functional? - Fully mission-capable.
Good. Get Hammer down here to weaponize it.
Sir?
Justin Hammer's making a weapons presentation at the expo.
We'd like this to introduce it.
Sir, I don't believe that the expo is...
Colonel, the world needs to see this fast.
We've got to make this happen.
- Yes general, but the... - It's also an order.
Yes, sir.
Good work, Colonel. You've made your country proud.
Thank you, sir.
That thing in your chest is based on unfinished technology.
No it was finished, it's never been particularly effective until
I've miniaturized it and put it in my...
No, Howard said that the arc reactor was a stepping stone to something greater.
He was about to kick off an energy race
That was gonna dwarf the arms race.
He was on to something big, something so big
that it was gonna make the nuclear reactor look like a AAA battery.
Just him? Or was Anton Vanko in on this too?
Anton Vanko is the other side of that coin.
Anton saw it as a way to get rich.
When your father found out he had him deported.
When the Russians found out he couldn't deliver they shipped his ass off to Siberia
and he spent the next 20 years on a vodka fuel rage.
Not quite the environment you wanna raise a kid in.
His son you had the misfortune of crossing paths with in Monaco.
You told me I hadn't tried everything. What do you mean I haven't tried everything?
What haven't I tried?
He said that you were the only person with the means and knowledge
to finish what he started.
He said that?
Are you that guy? Huh? Are you?
Because if you are then you can solve the riddle of your heart.
I don't know where you get your information, but he wasn't my biggest fan.
- What do your remember about your dad huh? - He was cold, he was calculating...
He never told me he loved me he never even told me he liked me.
So it's a little tough for me to digest what're you telling me he said the whole future is riding on me
and he's passing it down... I don't get that.
We're talking about a guy whose happiest day
was when he shipped me off to boarding school.
That's not true.
Well, then clearly you know my dad better than I did.
As a matter of fact I did.
He was one of the founding members of The Shield.
- What? - I got a two o'clock.
Wait, wait, what's this?
- Okay, you're good, right? - No I'm not good.
- You got this, right? - Got what? I don't even know what I'm supposed to get.
Natasha will remain a floater at Stark with her cover intact
and you remember Agent Colson right?
Yeah.
Oh, and Tony...
Remember, I got my eye on you.
We've disabled all communications, no contact with the outside world.
Good luck.
Please...
First thing I need a little body work. I'll put in a little time at the lab.
If you could send of your goon squad down to the Coffee Bean across the street or Starbucks, that'll be nice.
I'm not here for that. I've been authorized by
Director Fury to use any means necessary to keep you on premises.
- If you attempt to leave - Right - or play any games
I will taze you and watch
Supernanny while you drool into the carpet. Okay?
- I think I got it, yeah. - Enjoy your evening's entertainment.
Think this is the power source?
Major, this is not a scientific exercise.
Let's just focus on arming it, alright?
Yes, sir.
Oh, yes!
Oh, yes, yes, yes!
Is it my birthday?
You gotta.. what did you do? What did you do?
- Is this what I think it is? - Yes it is.
Hammer, I want to know what you're gonna do for us.
What am I gonna do for you?
First thing I'm gonna do for you is I'm gonna upgrade your software,
I'm talking about firepower.
Well you're talking to the right guy.
Claridge Hi-Tec semi-automatic 9 mm pistol.
Too downtown? I agree.
M-24 shotgun pump action.
5-round magazine, but you know what, you're not a hunter.
What am I talking about? I'm getting rid of it.
This is the FN-2000 from Belgium.
They do make something better than waffles.
It's beautiful, but I can tell this isn't disco enough for you
so I'm gonna put it right here.
You're looking at a Milkor 40 mm grenade launcher. Tear gas, smoke.
Hippie control. You're tough.
Let me tell you something, Size does matter.
Don't let anyone tell you different.
This is an M134 7.62 minigun. Six individual barrels.
The torso taker, powder maker.
Our boys in uniform call it Uncle Gazpacho or Puff the Magic Dragon.
Okay.
These are the Cubans baby. These are the Cohibas, the Montecristos...
That's a kinetic-kill sidewinder vehicle
with a secondary cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine RDX burst.
It's capable of busting a bunker under the bunker you just busted.
If it were any smarter it would write a book.
A book that would make Ulysses look like it was written in crayon.
And would read it to you.
This is my Eiffel Tower, This is my Rachmaninoff's Third.
My Pieta. It's completely elegant, it's bafflingly beautiful.
And it's capable of reducing the population of any standing structure to zero.
I call it the Ex-Wife.
That's the best I got.
How are you gonna do this? Give me something. You're like a sphinx.
I can't read you.
I think I'll take it.
- Which one? - All of it.
All of it?
Action.
Everything is achievable through technology.
Better living, robust health.
And for the first time in human history...
the possibility of world peace.
I'm Howard Stark. And everything you'll need for the future,
can be found right here.
City of Future, City of of Tomorrow? Hang on.
I'm Howard Stark.
And everything you'll need in the future can be found right here.
So, from all of us in Stark Industries I would like to personally...
Tony? What are you doing back there? What is that?
Put it back. Put it back where you got it from.
Where is your mother? Maria...
Go on, go, go, go...
Sorry I think we got the...
I'll come in in there...
Are you waiting on me?
So from all of us in Stark Industries I'd like to personally show you...
my ass.
I'd like to... This... I can't... We have this don't we?
That looks ridiculous.
Everything...
is achievable...
through technology.
Tony...
You're too young to understand this right now so I thought I would put it on film for you.
I built this for you.
And someday you'll realize that it represents a whole lot more than just people's inventions.
It represents my life's work.
This is key to the future.
I'm limited by the technology of my time.
But one day you'll figure this out.
And when you do... you will change the world.
What is and always will be my greatest creation...
is you.
Hi, sir.
- $6. - I don't have any...
- No sir, that's too much. - No it's fine, take that.
Take it, take it.
I don't like people hand me things so if you could just drop that there that would be great.
- Are you Iron Man? - Sometimes.
We believe in you!
It was an illegal seizure of trademarked property.
- Ms. Potts, Mr Stark is... - Here.
- He refuses to... - I don't. It's fine. I'll just be a second.
It's our position that Stark has the means to maintain proprietary ownership of the Mark II platform.
When Mr. Stark announced he was the Iron Man
he was making a promise to America.
Obviously he did not.
Now we learn that his secretary,
a woman named Virginia "Pepper" Potts,
has been appointed CEO of Stark Industries executive.
What are her qualifications?
No.
- Ms. Potts is doing nothing to manage the terrible situation... - Mute.
Bert, don't tell me that we have the best patent lawyers in the country
and then not let me pursue this.
I'll get this stuff out of here.
Well then, tell the President to sign an order.
We'll talk about it at the expo.
Hammer's giving some presentation tomorrow evening.
- Will Tony Stark be there? - Will I?
- No, he will not. - I'd like to be.
- Got a minute? - No.
Come on, you just got off the phone. 30 seconds.
29 ... 28 ...
I was driving over here, and I thought I was coming basically to apologize, but I'm not.
- You didn't come here to apologize? - That goes without saying, and I'm working on that.
But I haven't been entirely up front with you
and I just wanna try to make good,
Can I move this? This is crazy I got ferris wheel...
No.
Do you know how short life is?
And if I never got to express...
and by the way somewhat revelatory to me,
I don't care... I mean, I care, it would be nice,
I'm not expecting you to... Look, here's what I'm trying to say.
Let me just stop you right here, okay, because if you say "I"
one more time, I'm gonna actually hurl something at your head, I think.
I am trying to run a company. Do you know have any idea what that entails?
Yes.
People are relying on you to be Iron Man, and you've disappeared.
All I'm doing is putting out your fire and taking the heat for it.
I am trying to do the job that you were meant to do.
Did you bring me strawberries?
Did you know that there is only one thing on earth that I am allergic to?
You're allergic to strawberries, uh-uh.
This is progress, Pepper. I knew there was correlation between you and this...
- I need you... - And I need you too, that's what I'm trying to say.
to leave now.
Ms Potts.
- Hi, come on in. - Wheel's up in 25 minutes.
Thank you.
Anything else, boss?
- I'm good Hap. - I'll be just... another minute.
I lost both the kids in the divorce.
No.
Are you blending in well here, Natalie?
Here at Stark... Enterprises.
Your name is Natalie, isn't it?
I thought you two didn't get along.
- No, that's not so. - It's just me you don't care for.
No? Nothing?
Actually while you're here maybe you and Natalie could discuss the matter of personal belonging.
Absolutely.
- I'm surprised you could keep your mouth shut. - You're good. You are mind-blowingly duplicitous.
How do you do it?
You're a triple impostor. I've never seen anything like it.
Is there anything real about you? Do you even speak Latin?
Fallaces sunt rerum species.
Which means? What did you just say?
It means you can either drive yourself home or I can have you collected.
You're good!
Jarvis, could you kindly backform a digital wireframe?
I need a manipulable projection.
1974 Stark Expo model scanning complete, sir.
- How many buildings are there? - Am I to include the Belgian waffles stand?
It was rhetorical, just show me.
What does that look like to you, Jarvis?
Not unlike an atom.
In which case, the nucleus... would be here.
Highlight the Unisphere.
- Notice the footpaths. Get rid of them. - What is it you're trying to achieve, sir?
I'm discovering,... correction, rediscovering...
... a new element.
Lose the landscape and the shrubbery there, trees,
parking lots, exits, entrances.
Structre protons and neutrons
using flags the pavillions as the framework.
Dead for almost 20 years...
...still taking me to school.
The proposed element should serve as a viable replacement for palladium.
Thanks, Dad.
Unfortunately, it is impossible to synthesize.
Get ready for major remodel, fellas! We're back in hardware mode.
How did you break the perimeter?
That was like three years ago. Where have you been?
- I was doing some stuff. - Yeah, well, me too and it worked.
Hey, I'm playing for the home team, Colson You and all your Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers.
Let me work, or break my balls?
What's this doing here?
That's it.
Bring it to me.
- You know what this is? - It's exactly what I need to make this work.
Lift the coil.
Go, go! Put your knees under it. There you go.
And...
- Drop it. - Okay.
Perfectly level.
- I'm busy. What do you want? - Nothing.
Good bye. I've been reassigned.
Director Fury wants me in New Mexico.
- Fantastic, the land of enchantment. - So I'm told.
- Secret stuff. - Something like that.
- Good luck. - Bye.
- Thanks. - We need you.
- Yeah, more than you know. - Not that much.
Initializing prismatic accelerator.
Approaching maximum power.
That was easy.
Congratulations, sir.
You have created a new element.
Sir, the reactor has accepted the modified core.
I will begin running diagnostics.
Hey, Ivan.
I got Senator Stern here. Thought we'd swing over and look at some of the drone designs.
- The drone is not going to be ready. - Not ready... What do you mean?
It can make presentation not demonstration.
- What the hell is the difference? - Presentation, no fly, no shoot.
Wait. What can we make 'em do, I mean,
This is a weapons demonstration.
I can make salute.
You can make salute, what do you mean make salute?
What the hell does that mean, Ivan?
It's not what we agreed to, okay.
You promised me suits, and then you promised me drones.
- Hey man, everything will be okay. - This is not what I wanted.
Hey, there he is, the bird man.
Oh, now you like the bird, is that right?
Is that your bird? I'm confused.
You said it wasn't, but now it's like you're best of pals.
You love that bird, don't you?
You know what? Take the bird.
Take his pillows too. Both of them.
And shoes, take his shoes.
I took your stuff.
How does that make you feel? You feel bad?
Good. Cause that's how I feel!
We had a contract!
I saved your life and you give me suits.
That was our deal. And you did not deliver.
I don't know if you're a genius or a fraud.
I don't know what you are!
Something really, really great fell into my lap.
If it hadn't, I'd be at your mercy tonight.
Now I have a piece of Stark tech, and I pimped out myself.
Now your overpriced paperweights are gonna look like a backdrop to my demonstration.
You dig what I'm gettin' at here?
I don't know if you noticed, but I don't speak Russian!
I'm gonna leave now. I'm gonna go to the expo. Maybe I'll even get laid.
See these guys? They're your babysitters. They are not to be trifled with.
When I get back, we're gonna renegotiate the terms of our agreement.
And you're gonna make good on our arrangements.
Because if you don't, you're gonna be exactly what you were when I found you,
a dead man.
You got that?
Maybe you can watch me on TV.
Dummy. You. Can we clean up this mess?
- Incoming call with a blocked number, sir. - Phone privileges reinstated.
Lovely.
- Colson, how's land of enchantment? - Hey, Tony, how you doin'?
- I doubled cycle. - You what?
You told me double cycle's more power. Good advice.
- You sound pretty spitely for a dead guy. - You too.
- Trace it. - Sir.
Now the true history of Stark name will be written.
- Jarvis, where he is? - Accessing the Oracle grid.
Eastern seaboard.
What your father did to my family over 40 years
I will do to you in 40 minutes.
Sounds good, let's get together and hash it out.
Tri-state area. Manhattan and outlying boroughs.
I hope you're ready.
Call trace incomplete.
- Sir. - You wanna run some tests, run 'em.
And assemble the suit while you're at it put it together now.
- We are unclear as to the effects... - I don't wanna hear it, Jarvis!
It tastes like coconut... and metal.
I'll keep the car down here, alright. - Thank you Happy.
Justin Hammer, his presentation will begin shortly in the main pavilion.
That's what I'm talking about! Thanks for coming.
Ladies and gentlemen, for far too long
this country has had to place its brave men and women in harm's way.
But then the Iron Man arrived and we thought that
the days of losing lives were behind us.
Sadly that technology was kept out of reach.
That's not fair. That's not right.
- And it's just too bad. - Oh, lord...
Regardless it was an impressive innovation one that grabbed headlines the world over.
Today, my friends, the press is faced with quite a different problem.
They are about to run out of ink.
Get that out of here.
Ladies and gentlemen...
...today I present to you
...the new face of the United States military!
The Hammer drone!
Army!
Navy!
Air Force!
Marines!
That's a hell of a lot better than some cheerleaders, let me tell you.
But as revolutionary as this technology is,
there will always be a need for a man to be present at the theater of war.
Ladies and gentlemen, today I am proud to present to you the very first prototype
the variable threat response battle suit
and its pilot Air Force Lt. Col. James Rhodes.
What?
For America and its allies, Hammer Industries, is reporting...
We got trouble.
Tony, there are civilians present.
I'm here on orders. Let's not do this right now.
Give them a wave.
All these people are in danger. We gotta get them out of here.
You gotta trust me for the next five minutes.
I tried that and I got tossed around your house, remember?
I think he's working with Vanko.
Vanko is alive?
- Where is he? - What?
Where is Vanko?
- Who? - Tell me.
What are you doing here, man?
- Is that you? - No, I'm not doing that, it's not me.
I can't move. I'm locked up, I'm locked up.
Get out of here! Go! The whole system's been compromised!
Let's take it outside.
No!
- Jarvis, break in, I need to own him. - Yes, sir.
Tony, I'm locked on I have target locked.
- On what? - On you.
Tony on your six.
- What's going on, what's happening? - The software's been overwritten.
What? What do you mean it's been overwritten?
- I think he slaved the drones. - It is impossible.
- Call the guards - All the phones are down, sir.
- Then call their cells. - Their cell phones are not working either, sir.
- He's locked us out of the mainframe. - Who's locked you out of the mainframe?
Please, please, go away. I got this handled.
- Have you now? - Yes I do.
In fact, if your guy hadn't showed up
This wouldn't be happening Please now, go away!
Thank you.
Listen we gotta get these bitches outta here.
You're gonna tell me who's behind this.
Who's behind this?
Ivan. Ivan Vanko.
- Where is he? - He's at my facility.
- I need NYPD please. - No, no, no honey.
Don't call the authorities!
Step aside.
Tell me everything you know. Go.
- How we doing Jarvis? - Remote reboot unsuccessful.
- No one's answering the phone, what's going on? - Get in the car. Take me to Hammer Industries.
I'm not taking you anywhere.
- Fine. You want me to drive? - No, I'm driving. Get in the car.
Nice work, kid.
- You got multiples coming down on you. - Let's get this away from the expo.
When we arrive I need you to watch the perimeter.
I'm gonna enter the facility and take down the target.
- Watch the road. - I got it.
Listen, listen, a pack has peeled off and headed back to the expo.
Got it.
I'm closing on you! It's coming in hot, Tony! Watch it.
- Stay in the car! - I'm not staying in the car.
- I said stay in the car. - What are you wearing?
Look, I'm not letting you go in there alone.
- You wanna help? Keep the car running. - Okay.
Hey, you can't come in here!
Each set of drones is communicating in its own unique language.
- Choose one and focus on that. - Have you tried Russian? Why don't you try Russian.
I got 'em!
- Rhodey, you're still locked on? - Yeah.
Drop your socks and grab your crocs, we're about to get wet on this ride.
Wait, wait!
He's gone!
Sorry buddy, had to thin out the herd.
What's your twenty?
- What are you doing? - I'm rebooting Rhodey's suit.
Tony!
Reboot complete.
- You got your best friend back. - Thank you very much, Agent Romanoff.
Well done with the new chest-piece. I'm reading significantly higher output and your vitals all look promising.
Yes, for the moment I'm not dying. Thank you.
- What do you mean you're not dying? Did you say you're dying? - That you?
No, I'm not. Not anymore.
- What's going on? - I was going to tell you. I didn't want to..
- You're gonna tell me you really were dying? - You didn't let me.
- Why didn't you tell me that? - I was gonna make you an omelette and tell you!
Hey, hey, save it for the honeymoon. You got incoming, Tony.
Looks like the fight's coming to you.
- Great. Pepper? - Are you okay now?
- I'm fine. Don't be mad. I will formally... - I am mad.
...apologize when I'm not fending off a Hammeroid attack!
- We could've been in Venice. - Oh, please...
Rhodes!
Snap out of it, buddy! I need you.
They're coming. Come on let's roll. Get up.
Oh man, you can have your suit back.
- Are you okay? - Yeah, thanks.
- Tony, look... I'm sorry. - Don't be.
- No I should've trusted you more. - I'm the one who put you in this position. Forget it.
No it's your fault. I just wanted to say I'm sorry.
Thank you. That's all I want to hear, partner.
They're coming in hot. Any second. What's the play?
Well we wanna take the high ground, okay. So let's take
the biggest gun up on that ridge. - Got you.
- Where do you wanna be? - Where you going? - What are you talking about?
- I mean me. - I have a big gun, you are not the big gun.
- Tony, don't be jealous. - No it's subtle with all the bells and whistles.
- It's called being a bad ass. - Fine.
- Alright. You go up top. I'll draw 'em in. - But don't stay down here
it's the worst place to be.
- Okay you got a spot. Where's mine? - It's the kill box, Tony, okay, this is where you go to die.
- See that? - Yea, yea, nice.
Rhodey...
Get down!
Wow. I think you should lead with that next time.
Yeah, sorry boss, I can only use it once. It's a one-off.
I told you that five minutes ago.
That's your guy here.
- Excuse me? - Sir, you're placed under arrest.
Hands behind your back, sir.
I'm trying to help here.
I get it. I see what you're doing. Trying to pin this on me, huh?
That's good. You start to think like a CEO. Taking out the competition.
I like that. You think you're making a problem for me?
I'm gonna make a problem for you. I'm gonna be seeing you again, real soon.
When they get here, I think you should station them at the Southeast and both West exits.
We shut down the seven train in and out of Willets Point already.
Well, have city buses there to ferry people to operating lines.
You coming with us?
No, I'm gonna stay until the park is clear.
Heads up you got one more drone incoming. This one looks different.
Repulsor signature is significantly higher.
Good to be back.
This ain't gonna be good.
I got something special for this guy. I'm gonna bust his bunker with the ex-wife.
The what?
- Hammer tech? - Yeah.
We got this.
Rhodes! I got an idea.
You wanna be a hero?
- What? - I can really use a sidekick.
- Put your hand up. - This is your idea?
- Yup. - I'm ready, I'm ready, go go go.
Hit him!
You lose.
All these drones are rigged to blow We gotta get out of here man.
Pepper?
Oh my god, I can't take this anymore!
- You can't? - I can't take this.
What do you mean, look at me!
My body literally cannot handle the stress. I never know if you're gonna kill yourself...
or wreck the whole company...
I think I did okay!
I quit. I'm resigning.
That's it.
What did you just say? You're done?
Surprising, I mean not surprising.
I get it. You don't have to make any excuses.
- I'm not making any excuses. - Well you actually were just making excuses.
I wasn't making an excuse but I'm actually very justified.
You deserve better.
You've taken such good care of me.
I've been in tough spot you got me through it, so.
- Right? - Thank you.
- Yeah. - Thank you for understanding.
- Let's start clean up. - I'll handle the transition. It'll be smooth.
What about the press? Because you only had the job for a week. That's gonna be...
- With you it's like dog years. - I know.
I mean it's like the President.
Weird.
No it's not weird.
- It's okay, right? - Yeah.
I think it was weird.
You guys look like two seals fighting over a grape.
- I had just quit - You don't have to do that.
- I heard the whole thing. - You should get lost.
I was here first. Get a roof.
- I thought you were out of one-liners? - That's the last one.
- You kicked ass back there, by the way. - Thank you. You too.
Listen, my car got taken out in the explosions
so I'm gonna have to hang on to your suit for a minute, okay?
Not okay with thats.
It wasn't a question.
I don't understand...
I don't think I want you looking at that.
I'm not sure it pertains to you anymore.
Now this, on the other hand, is agent Romanoff's assessment of you.
Read it.
Personality overview: Mr Stark displays compulsive behavior.
In my own defense, that was last week.
Prone to self-destructive tendencies. I was dying.
I mean, please, aren't we all?
Textbook narcissism?
Agreed.
Recruitment assessment for Avenger Initiative, Iron Man, yes.
- I gotta think about it. - Read on.
Tony Stark not recommended?
That doesn't make any sense. How can you approve me but not approve me?
I got a new ticker, I'm trying to do right by Pepper.
I'm in a stable-ish relationship.
Which leads us to believe at this juncture we'd only like to use you as a consultant.
You can't afford me.
Then again I will waive my customary retainer
in exchange for a small favor.
Rhodey and I are being honored in Washington
and we need a presenter.
I'll see what I can do.
It is my honor to be here today
to present these distinguished awards to Lt. Col. James Rhodes
and Mr. Tony Stark who is of course
a national treasure.
Thank you Lieutenant Colonel for such an exceptionally distinguished performance.
- You deserve this. - Thank you, sir.
Mr Stark, thank you for such an exceptionally distinguished performance.
You deserve this.
Oh sorry.
Funny how annoying a little prick can be, isn't it?
Let's get a photo.
