Half-hour 'till the ball drops.
Tony Stark, great speech man!
I gave a speech?
How was it? - Edifying. - Unintelligible.
Really? That's my favorite kind, a winning combo.
Hey, uh, where are we going? - Uh, to town on each other,
Okay, you can see my research, but that's... I'm not going
Mr. Stark, Ho Yinsen. - Hey, I finally met a man called
I'd like to introduce you to our guest, Doctor Wu.
Oh this guy. - Mr. Stark.
Hey.
Perhaps another time?
Bern, Switzerland 1999
The old days
I never thought they'd come back to bite me
Why would they?
Hey Tony! Aldrich Killian, I'm a big fan of your work.
My work? - Who is he? He means me.
Well, of course, but Miss Hansen, my organization has been
Oh wow, he made it. He made the cut.
What floor you going to, pal? - Well now, that is an
The ground floor, actually, of a proposal I'm putting
It's a privately-funded think tank called "Advanced Idea
She'll take both. One to throw away and one to not call.
"Advanced Idea Mechanics" or AIM for short, you get it?
I see that 'cause it's on your t-shirt.
Ladies, follow the mullet. Ladies first.
Thank you. I'll call you.
I am titillated by the notion of working with you.
I'm going to ditch these clowns; I'll see you up on the
I'm just going to try to get my beef wet real quick if you
I'll see you up there!
Damn betcha.
Come on; I thought that was just a theory.
Well... it was
If I'm right, we can access the area of the brain that
That's incredible.
Essentially, you're hacking into the genetic operating
Exactly.
Can you not touch my plant? It's not... she doesn't like
She's not like the others. Come on, let's go to the
Happy, leave her ficus alone. - No, seriously, don't
And you're starting with plants? For now, yes.
I'm calling it "Extremis" - Well, its - human application
Dentra-degree vitalization
Disease prevention
Even limb regrowth
You're the most gifted woman I've ever met
Wow... - In Switzerland
That's better. - This week
You almost bought it, didn't you?
This is what I'm talking about, the glitch. - Have you
We're good.
Stay down
You're right on me...
What the hell was that?
What the hell was that? - It's a glitch in my work... -
Glitches happen. - Oh, it's not Y2K...
Hey, Happy New Year - Happy New Year - Happy New Year
Alright, I'll see you in the morning, okay? Good night.
You good? - Yep. - I'll be right outside. - Okay, cool.
So, why am I telling you this? Because I had just created
And I didn't even know it.
Yeah, those were good times.
Then I moved on.
After a brief soiree in an Afghan cave, I said "Goodbye"
I forgot that night in Switzerland.
These days I'm a changed man.
I'm different now.
I'm... well, you know who I am.
... Sir, please may I request just a few hours to
Nope!

As you wish, sir. I've also prepared a safety briefing for
Which I will.
Alright, let's do this.

Hi Dummy. How did you get that cap on your head? You
Hey. Hey! What are you doing out of the corner? You know
Blood on my mat; handle it.
Sir, may I remind you that you've been awake for nearly 72
Focus up ladies. Good evening
And welcome to the birthing suite.
I am pleased to announce the imminent arrival of your

Jarvis - drop my needle
Crap
Alright, I think we got this. Send them all.
Probably just a little fast... slow it down. Slow it down
Cool it, will you Jarvis?
Come on.
I ain't scared of you.
I'm the best
As always sir, a great pleasure watching you work.
I guess 72 hours is a long time between siestas
Didn't think it could get any worse
Then they had to go and turn on the TV.
That's when 'He' happened.
Some people call me a terrorist
I consider myself a teacher
America...
Ready for another lesson.
In 1864 in Sand Creek, Colorado,
The U.S. military waited until the friendly Cheyenne
Waited to attack and slaughter the families left behind
And claim their land
39 hours ago, the Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait was
I did that.
A quaint military church, filled with wives and children
The soliders were out on manuvers.
The "Braves" were away.
President Ellis, you continue to resist my attempts to
And now, you've missed me again
You know who I am. You don't know where I am
And you'll never see me coming.
... and now that we seem to be back, let's recap some of
American airways were hijacked.
The nation remains on high alert.
All attempts to find the Mandarin have so far proved
Central to my administration's response to this terrorist
I know him as Colonel James Rhodes.
The American people will soon know him as the Iron
And how is President Ellis responding?
By taking the guy they call "War Machine" and giving him a
The same suit but painted red, white, and blue, look at
And they've also renamed him Iron Patriot
You know, just in case the paint was too subtle
It tested well with focus groups, alright?
I am Iron Patriot. - Listen.
War Machine was a little too aggressive, alright. This
So what's really going on? With Mandarin
Seriously, can we talk about this guy?
It's classified information, Tony.
Okay, there've been nine bombings - Nine...
The public only knows about three.
But here's the thing... nobody can ID a device.
There's no bomb casings - You know I can help
Just ask. I got a ton of new tech. I got a prehensile
Bomb disposal

When's the last time you got a good night's sleep? -
People are concerned about you, Tony. I'm concerned about
You gonna come at me like that? - No, look, I'm not trying
-tator. - Would you mind signing my drawing?
If Richard doesn't mind. You alright with this, Dick? -
What is your name? - Erin.
By the way, I liked you in "A Christmas Story".
Listen, the Pentagon is scared.
After what happened in New York... aliens, come on.
They need to look strong.
Stopping the Mandarin is a priority, but it's not - It's
No, it's not, quite frankly.
It's American business.
Are you okay?
I broke the crayon. - Are you okay, Mr. Stark?
Take it easy. Tony...
.... How did you get out of the wormhole?
Tony - What'd you say?!
Sorry. Have to check on the suit... make sure...
Check the heart, check the, check the, is it the brain?
No sign of cardiac analomy or unusual brain activity
Okay, so I was poisoned?
My diagnosis is that you've experienced a severe anxiety
Me?
Come on man, this isn't a good look. Open up. - Sorry, I
Badge... badge... badge
Badge, guys. I put a memo in the toliet; come on.
Tony has got them in his basement, they're wearing party
Uh-huh. So, you're suggesting that I replace the entire
What I'm saying is that the human element of Human
We should start phasing it out immediately.
What!? - Excuse me, Bambi
Did you just say that? - Security
Happy, okay, I am thrilled that you're now the Head of
However, - I do appreciate it
Since you've taken the post, - You don't have to thank me.
We've had a rise in staff complaints of 300 percent
Thank you. - That's not a compliment.
"That's not a compliment"? It is a compliment! Clearly
Excuse me. - Yes? - Miss Potts, your four o'clock is here.
Did you clear this four o'clock with me? - Happy, we'll
But right now I have to go deal with this very annoying
How so?
I used to work with him, and he used to ask me out all the
I don't like the sound of that.

God, you look great. I... I... I can't... what on Earth

And please, call me Aldrich.
Uh, you were supposed to be issued a security badge -
Yes? - We're good.
You sure? - Yes.
Stand down. - I'm going to linger
Thank you. - Right here, okay.
It's very nice to see you, Killian.
Hey, guy
Merry Christmas
After years dodging the president's ban on "immoral
My think tank now has a little something in the pipeline.
I'm gonna turn your lights down.
Regard the human brain
Uh, wait, hold on, hold on; that's, that's the universe,
But if I do that...
That's the brain, strangely memetic though, wouldn't you
Wow, that's amazing! - Thanks, it's mine.
What? - This... you're inside my head.
It's a live feed. Come on up, I'll prove it to you.
Come on.
Pinch my arm. I can take it. Pinch me.
What is that? - The primary somatosensory cortex
It's the brain's pain center, but this... is what I wanted
Now, "Extremis" harnesses our bioelectrical potential
And it goes... here.
This is essentially an empty slot, and what this tells us
Hello? - Is this forehead of Security?
What? You know, look, I got a real job. What do you want?
Let me tell you something, you know what happened when I
I had to leave while I still had a shred of dignity.
Now I got a real job; I'm watching Pepper.
What's going on? Fill me in.
For real? - Yeah.
Alright, so she's meeting up with this scientist... rich
I couldn't make his face at first
And you know I'm good with faces. - Oh yeah, you're the
Yeah, so I run his credentials, I make him. Aldrich
Switzerland. - Right, right, exactly.
Killian, I don't remember that guy - Of course you don't
At first it was fine, they were talking business, but now
His what? - Big brain, and she likes it.
Here, let me show you. Hold on. See?
Look at what? You watching them? Flip the screen and then
I'm not a tech genius like you, just trust me, get down
Flip the screen, then I can see what they're doing. - I
Don't talk to me like that anymore. You're not my boss.
Alright, I don't work for you, and I don't trust this guy.
Relax. I'm just asking you to secure the perimeter. Tell
You know what? You should take more of an interest in
This woman is the best thing that ever happened to you
And you're just ignoring her. - A giant brain?
Yeah, there's a giant brain, there's a shifty character...
I'm going to follow this guy. I'm going to run his plates
I miss you, Happy. - Yeah, I miss you too but the way it
Now you're off with the 'superfriends'... I don't know
Hey I hate to cut you off, do you have your taser on you?
Imagine if you could hack into the hard drive of any
It would be incredible.
Unfortunately, to my ears it also sounds highly
As in enhanced soldiers, private armies, and Tony is not-
Tony, Tony
You know, I invited Tony to join AIM
13 years ago and he turned me down
But something tells me now there is a new genius on the
It's going to be a "no", Aldrich... as much as I'd like to
I can't say that I'm not disappointed, but as my father
"Failure is the fog through which we glimpse triumph."
It's very deep, and I have no idea what it means.
Well, he was kind of an idiot, my old man.
I'm sure I'll see you again, Pepper.
Happy - The car is ready... if you're ready to go.
Yes, I just um, God, I forgot my other thing so I'm just
I'm sorry I'm late. I was... what is that?!
You're wearing this in the house now? What is that, like
Yeah, something like that. You know everybody needs a
Oh, and you have to wear your hobby in the living room?
Oh hey, did you see your Christmas present?
Yes, I did. I don't know how I could have missed that
Is it gonna fit through the door? - Well actually, uh,
So, uh, tense? Good day?
Oh shoulders, a little naughty. Naughty girl.
I don't want to harp on this, but did you like the custom
Did I like it? - Nailed it, right? - Wow.
I appreciate the thought very much. So why don't you lift
Huh, yup, damnit. No can do.
You want to just kiss it on the, uh, facial slit?
Why don't I run down to the garage and see if I can't find
A crowbar? Yeah... - Oh, except there's been a radiation
I'll take my chances. - That's risky
At least let me get you like a Hazmat suit
or a Geiger counter or something like that
Busted. - This is a new level of lame.
Sorry. - You ate without me, already?
On date night?
He was just - You mean you
Well yeah, I just mean we were just... just hosting you
And yes, I had a quick bite. I didn't know if you were
Or you were having drinks with Aldrich Killian.
What?
Aldrich Killian? What are you checking up on me?
Happy was concerned - No, you're spying on me.
I'm going to bed. - Hold on. Come on. Pep-
Hey, I admit it! My fault. Sorry.
I'm a piping hot mess. It's been going on for a while... I
Nothing's been the same since New York. - Oh really?
I didn't notice that, at all.
You experience things and then they're over and you still
Gods, aliens, other dimensions... I'm just a man in a can.
The only reason I haven't cracked up is probably because
Which is great. I love you; I'm lucky.
But honey... I can't sleep.
You go to bed, I come down here. I do what I know; I
The threat is imminent.
And I have to protect the one thing that I can't live
That's you. And my suits; they're uh...
Machines. - They're part of me.
A distraction. - Maybe.
I'm gonna take a shower. - Okay.
And you're going to join me. - Better.
Tony!
Power down!
I must have called it in my sleep... that's not supposed
I'll recalibrate the sensors.
Just let me catch my breath, okay? Don't go, alright?
I'm going to sleep downstairs. Tinker with that.
Can you regulate? - Yes, I can regulate.
Are you sure about that? - Yes.
It's a decent batch.
Don't say I never did nothing for you. - Thank you... I
Ah, I'm sorry, buddy.
What're ya doing, buddy?
You out by yourself? A little date night? Watching your
Yeah, a little movie called "The Party's Over"
Starring you and your junkie girlfriend, and here's the
No kidding... that doesn't belong to you.
Savin! Help! Help me!
A true story about fortune cookies
They look Chinese. They sound Chinese.
But they're actually an American invention
Which is why they're hollow, full of lies, and leave a bad
My disciples just destroyed another cheap American knock-
The Chinese Theater. Mr. President,
I know this must be getting frustrating
But this season of terror is drawing to a close
And don't worry... the big one is coming: your graduation.
Hi. - Oh, uh. - Mind leaving that on? - Sure. - Sunday
That's the show. He thinks it's elegant.
One more thing... make sure everyone wears their badges.
We're awaiting the arrival of Tony Stark. We're hoping
His reaction to the latest attack.
Mr. Stark!
Our sources are telling us that this is another Mandarin
Anything else you can tell us?
Hey Mr. Stark! When is somebody going to kill this guy?
Is that what you want?
Here's a little Holiday greeting I've been wanting to send
I just didn't know how to phrase it until now.
My name is Tony Stark and I'm not afraid of you
I know that you're a coward so I've decided
That you just died, pal.
I'm gonna come get the body.
There's no politics here; it's just good, old-fashioned
There's no Pentagon; it's just you and me.
And on the off-chance you're a man, here's my home
10880, Malibu Port, 90265.
I'll leave the door unlocked. That's what you wanted,
Bill me.
I've compiled a Mandarin database for you, sir,
Drawn from S.H.I.E.L.D., F.B.I., and C.I.A. intercepts.
Initiating virtual crime scene reconstruction.
Okay, what do we got here?
His name is an ancient Chinese war mantle
Meaning "advisor to the King"
South American insurgency tactics
Talks like a Bapist preacher
There's lots of pagentry going on here... lots of theatre.
Close. - The heat from the blast was in excess of 3000
Any subjects within 12.5 yards were vaporized instantly.
No bomb parts found in a 3-mile radius of the Chinese
Talk to me, Happy.
When is a bomb not a bomb?
Any military victims? - Not according to public records,
Bring up the thermogenic signatures again, factor in 3000
The oracle cloud has completed analysis.

Take away everywhere that there's been a Mandarin attack.
Nope.
That. You sure that's not one of his?
It predates any known Mandarin attack.
The incident was the use of a bomb to assist a suicide.
The heat signature is remarkably similar.
That's two military guys...
Ever been to Tennessee, Jarvis?
Creating a flight plan for Tennessee.
Are we still at "ding-dong"? We're supposed to be on total
Come on, I threatened a terrorist. Who is that?
There's only so much I can do, sir, when you give the
Right there's fine.
You're not the Mandarin, are you? Are you? - You don't
Why I am not surprised? - Don't take it personally, I
Gluten-free waffles, sir. - That's right.
Look, I need to be alone with you, someplace not here...
Normally, I'd go for that sort of thing, but now I'm in a
It's... with her. - Tony,
Is somebody there? - Yeah, it's Maya Hansen.
Old botanist pal that I used to know, barely.
Please don't tell me that there is a 12-year-old kid
He's 13. No, I need your help. - What for? Why now?
Because I read the papers, and, frankly, I don't think
I'll be fine.
I'm sorry.
With Happy in the hospital, I didn't know we were
We weren't.
And old girlfriends - She's not really.
No, not really. It was just one night.
Yep. - That's how you did it, isn't it?
It was a great night. - Well... you know - Yeah.
You have saved yourself a world of pain. - What? - Trust
We're going out of town.
Okay, we've been through this. Nope. - Yep!
The man says no - Immediately and indefinitely.
Great idea. Let's go. - I'm sorry. That's a terrible idea.
Tony, this is how normal people behave. - I can't protect
Is this normal? - Sadly, that - Yes, this is normal!
Is very normal - It's a big bunny, relax about it!
Calm down! - I got this for you.
I'm aware of that. - You still haven't even told me that
You don't like it?!
We are leaving the house; that's not even up for
What? - Do we need to worry about that?
I got you. - I got you first.
Like I said, we can't stay here.
Move! I'm right behind-
Get her, I'm going to find a way around.
Stop stopping! Get her; get outside! Go!
Oh my God. Tony!
Sir, Miss Potts is clear of the structure.
Jarvis, where's my flight power?! Working on it, sir. This
That's one.
Sir, the suit is not combat-ready.
That's two.
Tony!!
Sir, take a deep breath.
Flight power restored.
Sir.
Sir! - Alright, kill the alarm.
That's the emergency alert triggered by the power dropping
Snow? Where are we, upstate?
We are 5 miles outside of Rose Hills, Tennessee.
Why?!
Jarvis! Not my idea! What are we doing here; this is
I prepared a flight plan.
This was the location.
Who asked you? Open the suit. - I think I may be
That's brisk!
Maybe I'll just cozy back up for a bit. - I actually think
Jarvis.
Jarvis?
Don't leave me, buddy.
Stark Secure Server: Now transferring to all known
Pepper, it's me.
I've got a lot of apologies to make and not a lot of time,
I'm so sorry I put you in harm's way. That was selfish and
Also, it's Christmas time. The rabbit's too big. Done.
Sorry.
And I'm sorry in advance because... I can't come home yet
I need to find this guy. You gotta stay safe. That's all I
I just stole a poncho from a wooden Indian.
Let's get you comfy.
You happy now?
Freeze!
Don't move. - You got me.
Nice potato gun.
Barrel's a little long.
Between that and the wide gauge, it's going to diminish
And now you're out of ammo. - What's that thing on your
It's a electromagnet. You should know, you've got a box of
What does it power?
Oh my God!
Is that Iron Man? - Technically, I am.
Technically, you're dead.
A valid point. - What happened to him?
Life. I built him; I take care of him.
I'll fix him.
Like a mechanic. - Yeah.
If I was building Iron Man and War Machine,
It's Iron Patriot now. - That's way cooler!
No, it's not.
Anyway, I would have added in the retro-
Retroreflective panels? - To make him stealth mode.
You want a stealth mode? - Cool, right?
That's actually a good idea. Maybe I'll build one.
Not a good idea!
What are you doing? You're going to break his finger? He's in pain; he's been injured. Leave him alone.
Sorry. - Are you?
Don't worry about it; I'll fix it.
So, uh, who's home? - Well, my mom already left for the
I guess he won 'cause that was six years ago.
Which happens, dads leave. No need to be a pussy about it.

What's in it for me? - Salvation. What's his name?
Who? - The kid that bullies you at school, what's his
How'd you know that?
I got just the thing.
This is a pinata for a cricket. I'm kidding; it's a very

What's your name? - Harley
And you're? - The mechanic

You know what keeps going through my head?
Where's my sandwich?
Stark Secure Server - Retinal scan verified.
Pepper, it's me.
I've got a lot of apologies to make and not a lot of time,
I'm so sorry I put you in harm's way. That was selfish and
Why were you at the house tonight? What was so important
I think that my boss is working for the Mandarin.
So if you still want to talk about it, I suggest we get
Your boss works for the Mandarin you think, but Tony says
That figures. What I actually am is a biological DNA coder
This boss of yours, does he have a name? Yeah, Aldrich
Well we took the house down sir, but there's no sign of a
I see. - No Stark.
I have to go.
The Master is about to record and he's a little...
Well you know how he gets.
Keep your appointment tonight and call me when it's done.
Alright everybody. No talking and no eye contact, unless
The Master is travelling.
Well then, what are we waiting for?
The sandwich was fair, the spring was a little rusty, the
By the way, when you said your sister had a watch, I was
She's six! Anyway, it's limited edition.
When can we talk about New York? - Maybe never, relax
What about the Avengers, can you talk about them? - I
Hey kid, give me more space.
What's the official story here? What happened?
I guess this guy named Chad Davis, used to live
Won a bunch of medals in the army,
One day, folks said he went crazy and made, you know, a
Then he blew himself up right here.
Six people died, right? - Yes.
Including Chad Davis? - Yea.
Doesn't make sense.
Think about it. Six dead, only five shadows.
Yeah, but people said these shadows are like the mark of
Except the bomb guy, he went to Hell on account of he
That's why there's only five - Do you buy that?
That's what everyone says.
You know what this crater reminds me of? - I have no idea;
That giant wormhole, in um, in New York.
Does it remind you? - That's manipulative. I don't want to
Are they coming back? The aliens? - Maybe, can you stop?
Remember when I told you that I have an anxiety issue?
Does this subject make you edgy? - Yeah, a little bit.
Can I just catch my breath for a second? - Are there bad
Do you have medication? - Nope.
Do you need to be on it? - Probably.
Do you have PTSD? - I don't think so.
Are you going completely mental? I can stop, do you want
Remember when I said to stop doing that? I swear to God,
Ah man, you did it, didn't you? You happy now? - What did
Hey, wait up! Wait, wait.
What the hell was that? - Your fault, you spazzed me out.
Okay, back to business. Where were we?
The guy who died... relatives? Mom? Ms. Davis, where is
Where she always is. - See, now you're being helpful.
Sorry. Lady, this uh,
Thank you - Nice haircut, suits you.
Nice watch. - Yeah, limited edition.
Oh, I don't doubt it.
Well have a good evening.
Ms. Davis, Mind if I join you?
Free country. - It sure is.
Alright
Where'd you like to start? - I just want to say I'm sorry
I want to know what you think happened
I brought your damn file. You take it and go.
Whatever was in here, he wanted no part of it.
Clearly, you were waiting for someone else. Supposed to
Yeah.
Ms. Davis, your son didn't kill himself; I guarantee you
What? - As a weapon
You're not the person who called me after all, are you?
Actually, I am.
Hey, hey! What's all this about? The hell's going on here?
It's called an arrest.
Sheriff, is it? - Yes ma'am, it is. And you are?
Homeland Security. We good here? - No, we're not good.
I need a little more information than that. - Well, I
Yeah, well, why don't you get on the horn to Nashville and
Alright, you know what, I was hoping to do this the smart
The fun way's always good
Deputy, get this woman and-
Hey hot wings, you wanna party? You and me, let's go.
Crazy, huh? - Yeah.
Watch this.
You walked right into this one; I've dated hotter chicks
That's all you got? Cheap trick and a cheesy one-liner?
Sweetheart, that could be the name of my autobiography.
Let me go! - Help me! Help me!
Hey kid, what would you like for Christmas? - Mr. Stark, I
No, no, I think he was trying to say "I want my goddamn
It's not your fault kid.
Remember what I told you about bullies?
You like that, West World? That's the thing about smart guys
We always cover our ass.
You're welcome!
For what? Did I miss something? - Me saving your life.
A: Saved you first, B: Thanks, sort of
And C: If you do someone a solid, don't be a yutz alright,
Unlike you?
Admit it: you need me. We're connected.
What I need is for you to go home, be with your mom, keep
And stay connected to the telephone because if I call you
Can you feel that? We're done here.
Move out of the way or I'm going to run you over. Bye kid.
I'm sorry kid. You did good. - So now you're just going to leave you here, like my dad?
Yeah. Wait, you're guilt-tripping me, aren't you? - I'm
I can tell. You know how I can tell?
'Cause we're connected.
It was worth a shot.
What happened to the picture?
The entire East coast... the satellites are down.
We have an unauthorized broadcast
Mr. Vice President, I think you should see this
Oh my God, not again. Is the President getting this?
Mr. President
Only two lessons remain.
I intend to finish this before Christmas morning.
Meet Thomas Richards. Good strong name, good strong job.
Thomas here is an accountant for the Roxxon Oil
And I'm sure he's a really good guy.
I'm going to shoot him in the head, live on your
The number for this telephone is in your cell phone.
Imagining how it got there
America, if your president calls me in the next half-
Go.
How did he hack my phone? - We can't allow terrorists to

Sold it to the Mandarin.
What happened? Fun fact
Before he built rockets for the Nazis
The idealistic Werner von Braun dreamed of space travel...
You know what he said when the first V2 hit London?
The rocket performed perfectly
It just landed on the wrong planet.
See we all begin wide-eyed... "pure science"

Okay, Trevor, what'd you tell him? - I didn't tell him
Nothing?

Phew, it's good to be back. Hello, by the way. - Oh, hello
All personnel, Stark is loose and somewhere in the

Everything okay, sir? - Couldn't be better.
I love you, little one

And what about the suit I'm wearing? - The armor is now at
That's gonna have to do.
Oh, here he comes, here he comes, get a quick picture. -
Is everything all right, Colonel?
It is an honor, Mr. President
If you're gonna do it, do it.
That's not how the Mandarin works. - Sir.
Air Force One's been compromised.
Internal shots, temperature spikes. - Get me eyes on it
Is that Rhodes?
The President. Now.
He's not here.
Try the jet stream. Speaking of which, go fish!
Walk away from that, you son of a bitch.
How many in the air? - Thirteen, sir.
How many can I carry? - Four, sir.

That came out of nowhere.
Gimme some good news man. - I think they all made it. -
Yeah, but I missed the President.
You couldn't save the President with the suit, how are you
Uh, say Jarvis, is it that time? - The "house party"
Correct.
Hi.
You think he's gonna help you... he won't.
Having you here is not just to motivate Tony Stark; it's
You're here as my, um - Trophy.
Good evening, sir.
Welcome aboard, Mr. President.
You ever heard of an elephant graveyard? Well, two years
This is the Roxxon Norco.
Of course you remember when she spilled 100 million
Thanks to you, not one fat cat saw a day in court.
What do you want from me?
Uh, nothing, sir.
I just needed a reason to kill you that would play well on
You see, I've moved on. I've found myself a new political
At this time tomorrow, he'll have your job.
String him up.
Come on.
You're not gonna freak out on me, right? - I hope not.
Oh my god.
He's strung up over the oil tank; they're gonna light him
Public execution. - Yeah, death by oil.
Broadcast will commence shortly. Take final positions.
Okay, that's great. Now give me cameras A through E and do

Is that? - Yep.
Are those? - Yeah.
Merry Christmas, buddy.
Jarvis, target Extremis heat signatures. Disable with
What are you waiting for? It's Christmas.
Take 'em to church.
Jarvis, get Igor to steady this thing.
This is how you've been managing your downtime, huh? -
Heartbreaker? Help Red Snapper out, will ya?
Nice timing. - Oh yeah, that's awesome. Give me a suit,
Oh, I'm sorry. They're only coded to me.
What's that mean? - I got you covered.
Good evening, Colonel. Can I give you a lift? - Very
Sir, I've located Miss Potts. - About time.
Stop, put it down, put it down, put it down.
See what happens when you hang out with my ex-girlfriends?
You're such a jerk. - Yup, we'll talk about it at dinner.
Come on, a little more, baby.
Is this guy bothering you?
Don't get up!
Is it hot there?
Stuck? Feel a little stuck?
Like a little turtle, cooking in his little turtle suit?
Tony
She's watching.
I think you should close your eyes.
Close your eyes.
Close your eyes; you don't want to see this.
Yeah, you take a minute.
Jarvis, give me a suit right now!
Aw, come on!
Mr. President! Just hold on, alright? I'm coming.
Just hold on. Hold on.
Buh-bye.
Brace yourself!
You look damn good, Mr. President, but I'm gonna need that
The President is secure, Tony. I'm clearing the area.
Nice work. - Ready sir? - What do you mean "ready"?
Pep, I got you. Relax, I got you. Just look at me.
Honey, I can't reach any further, and you can't stay
You gotta let go. I'll catch you, I promise.
What a shame; I would have caught her.
Well here we are, on the roof
Mark 42 inbound. - Well I'll be damned.
The prodigal son returns.
Whatever.
You really didn't deserve her, Tony.
It's a pity. I was so close to having her... perfect.
Okay, okay, wait, wait, slow down, slow down. Okay, you're
But here's where you're wrong:
She was already perfect.
Jarvis, do me a favor and blow Mark 42.
NOOOO!!
No more false faces.
You said you wanted the Mandarin. You're looking right at
It was always me, Tony, right from the start. I am the
I got nothing.
Jarvis, subject at my 12 o'clock is not a target,
What? Oh what, are you mad at me?
Honey.
Oh my god.
I was really violent.
You just scared the devil out of me. I thought you were -
Who's the hot mess now? - Still debatable.
Probably tipping your way a little bit. Why don't you
Hmm? Sports bra, the whole deal.
You know I think I understand why you don't want to give
What I am gonna complain about now?
Well, it's me. I'll think of something.
Don't touch me. No, I'm gonna burn you! - No, no
You're not hot.
Am I gonna be okay?
No, you're in a relationship with me, everything will
But I think I can figure this out, yeah.
I almost had this 20 years ago when I was drunk. I think I
That's what I do. I fix things.
And all your distractions?
Uh, I'm gonna shave them down a little bit.
Jarvis, hey. - All wrapped up here, sir. Will there be
You know what to do.
The "clean slate" protocol, sir?
Screw it, it's Christmas. Yes, yes.
Okay so far? You like it?
It'll do.
And so, as Christmas morning began, my journey had reached
You start with something pure, something exciting
Then come the mistakes
The compromises
We create our own demons.
It's great to see you.
As promised, I got Pepper sorted out; it took some
But then I thought to myself,
"Why stop there?"
Of course, there are people who say progress is dangerous.
But I'll bet none of those idiots ever had to live with a
And now... neither will I.
Let me tell you: that was the best sleep I'd had in years.
It's okay, it's okay. - No!
So if I were to wrap this up tight with a bow or whatever,
I guess I'd say my armor was never a distraction or a
It was a cocoon.
And now, I'm a changed man.
You can take away my house,
All my tricks and toys
One thing you can't take away...
I am Iron Man.
