Iron Man (Character)
from Iron Man (2008)

Iron Man (2008)

Tony Stark: [toasting after giving a weapon's demonstration] To Peace.

Christine Everheart: Mr. Stark! Christine Everheart, Vanity Fair magazine. Can I ask you a couple of questions?
Hogan: [whispers to Stark] She's cute.
Tony Stark: [whispers to Hogan] She's alright?
[turns around]
Tony Stark: Hi!
Christine Everheart: Hi.
Tony Stark: Yeah. Okay, go.
Christine Everheart: You've been called the Da Vinci of our time. What do you say to that?
Tony Stark: Absolutely ridiculous. I don't paint.
Christine Everheart: And what do you say to your other nickname, the Merchant of Death?
Tony Stark: That's not bad. Let me guess... Berkeley?
Christine Everheart: Brown, actually.
Tony Stark: Well, Ms. Brown. It's an imperfect world, but it's the only one we got. I guarantee you the day weapons are no longer needed to keep the peace, I'll start making bricks and beams for baby hospitals.
Christine Everheart: Rehearse that much?
Tony Stark: Every night in front of the mirror before bedtime.
Christine Everheart: I can see that.
Tony Stark: I'd like to show you firsthand.
Christine Everheart: [exasperated] All I'm looking for is a straight answer...
Tony Stark: [removing his shades] You see, my old man had a philosophy. Peace means having a bigger stick than the other guy.
Christine Everheart: That's a great line, coming from a guy selling the sticks.
Tony Stark: My father helped defeat Nazis. He worked on the Manhattan Project. A lot of people, including your professors at Brown, would call that being a hero.
Christine Everheart: And a lot of people would also call that war-profiteering. Have you ever lost an hour of sleep your whole life?
Tony Stark: I'd be prepared to lose a few with you.
[cut to Stark's bedroom]

Virginia 'Pepper' Potts: [walking in on Stark's robots trying to get him out of the Iron Man suit] What is going on here?
Tony Stark: Let's face it, this is not the worst thing you've caught me doing.
Virginia 'Pepper' Potts: Are those bullet holes?

Tony Stark: [reading the newspaper] "Iron Man." That's kind of catchy. It's got a nice ring to it.

[after testing the suit's capabilities]
Tony Stark: Yeah. I can fly.

[last lines]
Tony Stark: There's been speculation that I was involved in the events that occurred on the freeway and the rooftop...
Christine Everheart: 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...
Tony Stark: 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.
Christine Everheart: I never said you were a superhero.
Tony Stark: Didn't?
Christine Everheart: Mmm-mmm.
Tony Stark: 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.
Rhodey: [whispers to Tony] Just stick to the cards, sir.
Tony Stark: Yeah, okay.
Tony Stark: [holds up his notes and pauses, then puts them down] The truth is... I am Iron Man.

Tony Stark: 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 Stark: 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.

Tony Stark: Give me a scotch. I'm starving.

Rhodey: You crazy S.O.B! You owe me a plane!
Tony Stark: Yeah, well, technically he hit me...

Nick Fury: [quoting Tony Stark from his press conference] "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.
Tony Stark: Who the hell are you?
Nick Fury: Nick Fury, Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Tony Stark: [nonchalantly] Ah.
Nick Fury: I'm here to talk to you about the Avenger Initiative.

Virginia 'Pepper' Potts: You are supposed to be half way around the world by now.
Tony Stark: How'd she take it?
Virginia 'Pepper' Potts: Like a champ.
Tony Stark: Why are you trying to hustle me out of here?
Virginia 'Pepper' Potts: Your flight was scheduled to leave an hour and a half ago.
Tony Stark: It's funny, I though with it being my plane and all that it would just wait for me to get there...
Virginia 'Pepper' Potts: Tony I need to speak to you about a couple of things before I get you out...
Tony Stark: I mean doesn't it kind of defeat the whole purpose of having your own plane if it departs before you arrive?

Tony Stark: What are you trying to get rid of me for? You got plans?
Virginia 'Pepper' Potts: As a matter of fact, I do.
Tony Stark: I don't like it when you have plans.
Virginia 'Pepper' Potts: I'm allowed to have plans on my birthday.
Tony Stark: It's your birthday?
Virginia 'Pepper' Potts: Yes.
Tony Stark: I knew that. Already?
Virginia 'Pepper' Potts: Yeah, isn't that strange? It's the same day as last year...
Tony Stark: Well, get yourself something nice for me.
Virginia 'Pepper' Potts: I already did.
Tony Stark: Yeah? Nice?
Virginia 'Pepper' Potts: Oh, it's very nice, yes... very tasteful. Thank you, Mr. Stark.
Tony Stark: You're welcome, Ms. Potts.

Rhodey: Hey Tony.
Tony Stark: I'm sorry. This is the fun-vee. The hum-drum-vee is back there.
Rhodey: [after rescuing Stark] So how was the fun-vee?

[first lines]
Tony Stark: 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, Forest...
Jimmy: We can talk, sir.
Tony Stark: Oh, I see. So it's personal.
Ramirez: No, you intimidate them.
Tony Stark: 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.
Ramirez: I'm an airman.
Tony Stark: Well you have actually excellent bone structure there. I'm kinda having a hard time not looking at you now. Is that weird?
[soldiers laugh]

Tony Stark: You got a family?
Yinsen: Yes, and I will see them when I leave here. And you, Stark?
Tony Stark: [quietly] No.
Yinsen: So you're a man who has everything, but nothing.

Tony Stark: We gotta go. Come on, move with me. We got a plan, and we're going to stick to it.
Yinsen: This was always the plan, Stark.
Tony Stark: Come on, you're going to go see your family again.
Yinsen: My family's dead. I'm going to see them now, Stark. It's okay. I want this.
[Stark is silent for a moment]
Tony Stark: Thank you.
Yinsen: Don't waste two lives.
[dies]

Tony Stark: [after crash-landing in the desert] Not bad.

Tony Stark: Hmmm. Your eyes are red. Tears for your long lost boss?
Virginia 'Pepper' Potts: Tears of joy, maybe. I hate job hunting.
Tony Stark: Yeah, well, vacation's over.

Virginia 'Pepper' Potts: Tony, you have to go to the hospital. The doctor has to look at you.
Tony Stark: I don't have to do anything. I've been in captivity for three months. There are two things I want to do. One, I want an American cheeseburger, and the other...
Virginia 'Pepper' Potts: That's not going to happen.
Tony Stark: It's not what you think. I want you to call for a press conference now.
Virginia 'Pepper' Potts: Call for a press conference? What on earth for?
Tony Stark: Yeah, Hogan, drive. Cheeseburger first.

Tony Stark: Pepper, uh, how big are your hands?
Virginia 'Pepper' Potts: What?
Tony Stark: How big are your hands?
Virginia 'Pepper' Potts: I don't understand why...
Tony Stark: Get down here. I need you.

Virginia 'Pepper' Potts: [referring to Stark's old heart machine] What do you want me to do with this?
Tony Stark: That? Destroy it. Incinerate it.
Virginia 'Pepper' Potts: You don't want to keep it?
Tony Stark: Pepper, I've been called many things. Nostalgic is not one of them.

Virginia 'Pepper' Potts: [upon seeing Stark wearing a machine around his arm] I thought you said you were done making weapons?
Tony Stark: It isn't. This is a flight stabilizer. It's completely harmless.
[Stark is blasted back by the force of the machine]
Tony Stark: I didn't expect that.

Tony Stark: How'd it go?
[Stark sees a pizza box on the table]
Tony Stark: Oh, that bad huh?
Obadiah Stane: Just because I brought pizza back from New York doesn't mean it went bad.

[accidentally burning his restored car collection by hovering above them]
Tony Stark: Okay, this is where I don't want to be.

Tony Stark: [to Jarvis, before doing a flying test run] Sometimes you gotta run before you can walk.

Tony Stark: Where'd you get that dress?
Virginia 'Pepper' Potts: It was a birthday present... from you, actually.
Tony Stark: I got great taste, don't I? You, uh, wanna dance?
Virginia 'Pepper' Potts: Oh, no, thank you.
Tony Stark: [leading her to the dance floor] All right, come on.

Rhodey: [talking over phone] What the hell is that noise?
Tony Stark: I'm driving with the top down.
Rhodey: Well, I need your help right now.
Tony Stark: Funny how that works, huh?
Rhodey: Yeah. Speaking of funny, we got a weapons depot that was just blown up a few klicks from where you were being held.
Tony Stark: Well, I'd say that's a hot spot. Sounds...
[takes a breath]
Tony Stark: like someone stepped in and did your job for you.
Rhodey: Why do you sound out of breath, Tony?
Tony Stark: I'm not. I was just jogging through the canyon.
Rhodey: I thought you were driving.
Tony Stark: Right, I was driving... to the canyon... where I'm going for a jog.
Rhodey: You sure you don't have any tech in that area I should know about?
Tony Stark: Nope.
[Two F-22s rise behind Iron Man]
Rhodey: Good, because we got a lock on something and we're about to blow it to kingdom come.

Rhodey: [answering his phone during the attack on Iron Man] Hello.
Tony Stark: Hi, Rhodey, it's me.
Rhodey: Sorry?
Tony Stark: The thing you asked me before, it was me.
Rhodey: This isn't a game! You do not send civilian equipment into my active war zone. Do you understand me? Do you understand that?
Tony Stark: It's not a piece of equipment, it's a suit! It's ME!

Virginia 'Pepper' Potts: Tony, you know that I would help you with anything, but I cannot help you if you're going to start all this again.
Tony Stark: There is nothing except this. There's no art opening, no charity, nothing to sign. There's the next mission, and nothing else.
Virginia 'Pepper' Potts: Is that so? Well, then I quit.
Tony Stark: 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?
Virginia 'Pepper' Potts: You're going to kill yourself, Tony. I'm not going to be a part of it.
Tony Stark: 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.

Rhodey: [seeing Stark in the Iron Man suit] That's the coolest thing I've ever seen.
Tony Stark: Not bad, huh?

Jarvis: Sir, it appears his suit can fly.
Tony Stark: Duly noted. Take me to maximum altitude.
Jarvis: Sir, at 19% power, the odds of reaching that altitude...
Tony Stark: [cutting in] I know the math! Do it!

Tony Stark: [recording a log as he tests his rocket boots] Day 11, Test 37, Configuration 2.0. For lack of a better option, Dummy is still on fire safety.
[turns to robot]
Tony Stark: If you douse me again, and I'm not on fire, I'm donating you to a city college.
[performs test then lands]
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.

Pratt: Is it true that you went twelve-for-twelve with the Maxim Girls last year?
Tony Stark: That is an excellent question. Yes and no. March and I had a scheduling conflict but fortunately the Christmas cover was twins.

Tony Stark: [explaining to Jim Rhodes as to why he was late for his plane] I got stuck doing a piece for Vanity Fair.

Tony Stark: [to Jimmy, who's raising his hand] You're kidding me with the hand up, right?
Jimmy: Is it cool if I take a picture with you?
Tony Stark: Yes, it's very cool.
[Jimmy hands Pratt his camera and poses with a peace sign]
Tony Stark: I don't want to see this on your myspace page. Please no gang signs.
[Jimmy lowers hand]
Tony Stark: No, throw it up. I'm kidding. Yeah, peace. I love peace. I'd be out of a job for peace.

Agent Phil Coulson: Mr. Stark.
Tony Stark: Yeah?
Agent Phil Coulson: Agent Coulson.
Tony Stark: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, the guy from the...
Agent Phil Coulson: Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division.
Tony Stark: Whew! God, you really need a new name for that.
Agent Phil Coulson: Yeah, I hear that a lot.

[repeated line]
Virginia 'Pepper' Potts: Will that be all, Mr. Stark?
Tony Stark: Yes, that will be all, Miss. Potts.

Tony Stark: This looks important!
[rips out Iron Monger's optic cables]

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: Am I making you uncomfortable?
Virginia 'Pepper' Potts: 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.
Tony Stark: Well, you look great, you smell great. But I could fire you if that would take the edge off.
Virginia 'Pepper' Potts: I don't think you could tie your shoes without me.
Tony Stark: I'd make it a week.
Virginia 'Pepper' Potts: A week, really? What's your social security number?
Tony Stark: [he pauses]
Tony Stark: Five...
Virginia 'Pepper' Potts: [smiling] "Five?" You're missing just a couple of digits.
Tony Stark: Right, the other eight. Well, I have you for the other eight.

Yinsen: [amazed at the arc reactor] That could run your heart for fifty lifetimes!
Tony Stark: Yeah... or something big for fifteen minutes.

Tony Stark: Whatcha reading, platypus?
Rhodey: Nothing.
Tony Stark: Come on sourpatch.
Rhodey: I'm not sour.
Tony Stark: Don't be mad.

Rhodey: You don't respect yourself, so I hardly expect you to respect me...
Tony Stark: I said I was sorry! Hey, get two drinks...
Rhodey: I don't want a drink...
[later, Stark throws a party in the plane]
Rhodey: [slightly drunk] That's what I'm talking about! See, I'm up every morning, putting on my uniform, and all I get to see are naked MALE bodies! I mean, what's wrong with a bit of Booty?

Yinsen: We met, you know, in Bern.
Tony Stark: Really? I don't remember.
Yinsen: [chuckling] Of course not. If I had been that drunk, I wouldn't have been able to stand, let alone give a lecture on integrated circuits.

[Stark and Potts carry out an arc reactor transplant]
Virginia 'Pepper' Potts: Don't ever get me to do that again! Find someone else!
Tony Stark: Who else? I only got you.

[JARVIS gives Stark an arc reactor]
Tony Stark: Good boy...

Tony Stark: [pats someone on the back] Hey Hef.
['Hef' turns around, and it's actually Stan Lee]

Tony Stark: Why aren't you wearing those pyjamas I gave you?
Obadiah Stane: Good night, Tony...

Tony Stark: [seeing wires running out of his chest] What the hell did you do to me?
Yinsen: What I *did* was save your life. That is an electromagnet, connected to a car battery. I removed as much shrapnel from your chest as I could, but there are still some pieces left. I've seen plenty of injuries like that. We call those casualties with them "the Walking Dead," because in a week they're dead. The magnet should prevent them from reaching your heart.

Yinsen: Did you see that? Those are *your* weapons... in the hands of those murderers! Is this what you want? Is this what you wish the legacy of the great Tony Stark to be?
Tony Stark: I build them a missile they'll kill me. If I don't they'll kill me. Either way, I'll be dead in a week.
Yinsen: Then this should be a very busy week for you, won't it?

Jarvis: Perhaps, if you intend to visit other planets, we should improve the exosystems.
Tony Stark: Connect to the sys. co. Have it reconfigure the shell metals. Use the gold titanium alloy from the seraphim tactical satellite. That should ensure a fuselage integrity while while maintaining power-to-weight ratio. Got it?

Jarvis: Yes. Shall I render using proposed specifications?
Tony Stark: Thrill me.
[as Jarvis works on the render, Tony watches benefit at the Disney Concert Hall on TV]
Jarvis: The render is complete.
Tony Stark: A little ostentatious, don't you think?
Jarvis: What was I thinking? You're usually so discreet.
Tony Stark: [gazes at a 1930s hotrod] Tell you what. Throw a little hotrod red in there.
Jarvis: Yes, that should help you keep a low profile. The render is complete.
Tony Stark: Hey, I like it. Fabricate it. Paint it.
Jarvis: Commencing automated assembly. Estimated completion time is five hours.
Tony Stark: [looks at his watch] Don't wait up for me, honey.

[playing backgammon]
Tony Stark: [rolling a 6 and 5] Sheesh o besh.
Yinsen: Good roll.

Tony Stark: I think we need to look at the arc reactor again.
Obadiah Stane: Ah, come on. The arc reactor, that's a publicity stunt! Tony, come on. We built that thing to shut the hippies up!
Tony Stark: It works.
Obadiah Stane: Yeah, as a science project. The arc was never cost affective. We knew that before we built it. Arc reactor technology, that's a dead end, right?
Tony Stark: Maybe.
Obadiah Stane: Huh? Am I right? We haven't had a breakthrough in that in what? 30 years.
Tony Stark: That's what they say. Could you have a lousier poker face? Just tell me, who told you? Who told you?
Obadiah Stane: Never mind who told me. Show me.
Tony Stark: It's Rhodey or Pepper. It's Rhodey or Pepper.
Obadiah Stane: I want to see it.
Tony Stark: Okay, Rhodey.
[Tony reveals to Obadiah the arc reactor in his chest]

Blonde Girl: Tony! Remember me?
Tony Stark: [walking by] Sure don't.

Rhodey: [standing by Stark's airplane] Three hours! Three hours you've kept me standing here!
Tony Stark: [walking past him] Waiting on you now.

Tony Stark: I just want you to reach in, and you're just gonna gently lift the wire out.
Virginia 'Pepper' Potts: Is it safe?
Tony Stark: Yeah, it should be fine. It's like Operation. You just don't let it touch the socket wall or it goes "beep."
Virginia 'Pepper' Potts: What do you mean, "Operation"?
Tony Stark: It's just a game, never mind.

Tony Stark: [playing Craps] We're gonna let it ride! Give me a hand, will you? Give me a little something-something.
[woman blows on his dice]
Tony Stark: Okay, you too.
Rhodey: I don't blow on a man's dice.
Tony Stark: Come on, honey bear.
[Rhodey taps Tony hand causing him to roll the dice]
Tony Stark: There it is. Lieutenant Colonel Rhodes rolls! And...
Dealer at Craps Table: Two craps. Line away.
Rhodey: That's what happens.
Tony Stark: Worse things have happened.

[during the attack by the Ten Rings]
Tony Stark: Gimme a gun! Gimme a gun!

[Stark's car, the winner of a race, arrives at the airport]
Tony Stark: I thought I lost you back there!
Hogan: You did, sir.

[Everhart shows Stark some photos]
Christine Everheart: [disgusted at Stark's evident hypocrisy] Is this what you call accountability?
[Stark looks at photos of Stark Industries weapons in Afghanistan]
Tony Stark: When were these taken?
Christine Everheart: Yesterday.
Tony Stark: I didn't authorize this.
Christine Everheart: No, but your company did!
Tony Stark: I'm not my company!

Christine Everheart: You've been called the Da Vinci of our time, what do you think of that?
Tony Stark: Absolutely ridicolus, I don't paint.
Christine Everheart: How about your other nickname, "The Merchant of Death"?
Tony Stark: That's not bad.

[special feature]
Tony Stark: [after losing $3 million at craps] What's better, winning all that money or not caring about it?

The Invincible Iron Man (2007) (V)

Rhodey: That's a first. You scared off a woman.
Tony Stark: Easy to do when you look like Frankenstein.

Tony Stark: You don't belong with these murderers. Why are you doing this?
Li Mei: The Mandarin will rise, and many will die in the East and the West. Their souls will be offered as payment for ...
Tony Stark: Ok, that's the company line.

Virginia 'Pepper' Potts: What have you gotten yourself into?
Tony Stark: I'll explain later, Pep. Right now I need into my office.
Virginia 'Pepper' Potts: That's going to be a bit difficult since I have S.H.I.E.L.D. agents crawling up my ...
Tony Stark: Pepper, I know. Can you arrange it?

Tony Stark: Interactive ex-suits. With these things, one person can accomplish what it would take dozens, exploration of any hostile environments, deep sea, volcano, space, anything. These armors will change the world. And since the next place on the map is on the floor of the Atlantic, the aqautic model is going to get me there.

Rhodey: Why don't you just own up to it, Tony? You didn't trust me enough to be a part of this project.
Tony Stark: Rhodey ...
Rhodey: I mean, I'm your closest friend. I've always been in your corner.
Tony Stark: Come on, Rhodey. You're making this personal. We're friends. Why are you overreacting?
Rhodey: I'm the only one who sees it for what it is. Remember when your father took your stuff and put it into his weapon program, how betrayed you felt? Well, guess what, Tony. You're just like him.

Li Mei: I told you, I have a responsibility.
Tony Stark: I know, to stop the Mandarin.
Li Mei: Not to stop him, to ensure his resurrection.
Tony Stark: What are you saying? You mean, joining the Jade Dragons, the things you said to me...
Li Mei: I am the last descendent of The Mandarin. It falls to me. I must be his vessel so he may walk the earth again.

Tony Stark: I have two orders of business. One
[opens the door]
Tony Stark: I am promoting James Rhodes to chief engineer for advanced technologies.
Rhodey: Thanks, man.
Tony Stark: You've earned it. And two, I'm handing control of the company over to my father.
Howard Stark: What?
Tony Stark: It's yours, Dad. The future of the company is now yours to decide.
Howard Stark: You know, I've always seen this as a father-son enterprise.
Boyer: Wonderful news, Tony, Howard. We'll support you both 110%.
Howard Stark: Shut up, Boyer. My first order of business...
Howard Stark: [to the board] you're all fired.

Boyer: Uh, Tony, let me get straight to the point. We've just learned that *someone* has been buying up stock. So much stock that this board no longer has any controlling interest.
Tony Stark: And you suspect that *I'm* that someone?
Boyer: Well, yes.
Tony Stark: You're correct. Stark Enterprises is mine!

Iron Man (2008) (VG)

Tony Stark: [destroying weapons, tanks, and helicopters during the Stark Weapons mission] ...I am really kicking ass out here.
Jarvis: I don't understand this 'ass kicking' reference, sir.
Tony Stark: Jarvis, remind me to develop a personality for you later.

[after completing the Mark I suit]
Tony Stark: Look at it. It's gorgeous.
Yinsen: Very nice, Stark. Our captors will love it.
Tony Stark: It's not for them. It's for us. We're getting out of here.
Yinsen: Ah, I see. And what happens with this?
Tony Stark: What? Are you kidding? I'm gonna build more. This is a work of art. I've never designed anything like it. Just look at it. This is the future, Yinsen.

Virginia 'Pepper' Potts: Tony, what's happened to you?
Tony Stark: Pepper, listen. I never should've made it out of that cave. Now, I know what I have to do.
Virginia 'Pepper' Potts: I don't understand.
Tony Stark: My life's work, everything I built! Countless lives RUINED by my inventions! I HAVE TO DESTROY THEM!
Virginia 'Pepper' Potts: You can't do this alone! It's too much!
Tony Stark: I don't have a choice. Make sure Obie does what I told him. He'll need convincing. Look, I-I have to go on a... business trip.
Virginia 'Pepper' Potts: What trip? There's nothing on your calendar.
Tony Stark: Just came up.

Tony Stark: I'm not the problem here. It's the Maggia! They're the ones supplying criminals with weapons.
Col. James 'Rhodey' Rhodes: No! The problem, Tony, is you're fighting a war! And you're not a soldier!
Tony Stark: You're damn right I'm not! I'm an army! And I don't care how rich Maggia made me. I'm gonna bury them!

Obadiah Stane: I'm not giving anything up. I did what I had to do to save your father's company.
Tony Stark: No. You crossed the line, Obie. Dad never would've gone along with ANY of this!
Obadiah Stane: Your father understood business. This is beyond you.
Tony Stark: Business? This is Insanity!
Obadiah Stane: Insanity is thinking you could build these weapons and then... look away when people use them. This is the real world, Tony. It's time you started living in it.
Tony Stark: You know what? This is a waste of time. I'm not letting you do this.
Obadiah Stane: You seem to think you hold the cards here, Tony. Ms. Potts would probably disagree.
Tony Stark: What?
Obadiah Stane: Did you think I wouldn't find out what she was doing?
Tony Stark: If you hurt her...
Obadiah Stane: Don't force my hand then!
Tony Stark: It doesn't have to be this way, Obadiah. But I AM coming for Pepper
Obadiah Stane: You always do what you want, Tony. I'll do... what I must!
[Suits up as Iron Monger]

Iron Man: So, Rhodey. You're gonna be my "wingman?"
Col. James 'Rhodey' Rhodes: Everything's always a joke with you.
Iron Man: Who whizzed in your cornflakes, buddy?

Col. James 'Rhodey' Rhodes: And who's holding down the company fort while you're out there?
Iron Man: Uh, not my problem. I'm the idea guy. I let suits like Stane handle the day-to-day.
Col. James 'Rhodey' Rhodes: You'll never change, Tony.
Iron Man: And why should I?

[Iron Monger's suit is damaged]
Jarvis: I have located a weakness in Stane's suit. You must engage up-close proximity.
Iron Man: What, give him a hug?
Jarvis: That is the only way, sir.
Iron Man: Bleh!

Ultimate Avengers (2006) (V)

Iron Man: Uh, sorry, folks. That's all for today. I'm late for a tune-up.

[referring about Thor]
Giant Man: Who's the chick with the hammer?
Iron Man: Whoever she is, I'm glad she's on our side.

Captain America: [about the Hulk] Hank, Iron Man! Slow him down!
Iron Man: [sarcastically] Sure, no problem.

Tony Stark: [to Natalia] Are you really Russian, or are you just trying to make an impression?

Tony Stark: Let's start with your name.
Black Widow: Not here. In private.
Tony Stark: Is this private enough?
Black Widow: Natalia... Romanoff.
Tony Stark: As in the Black Widow?
Nick Fury: I prefer to call her my Number One.

Tony Stark: [to Natalia] I'm free for nightcaps later. Interested? You can bring your gun.

Next Avengers: Heroes of Tomorrow (2008) (V)

[first lines]
James Rogers: Can we hear it again? Please.
Torunn: More - tell us the story more! Please.
Tony Stark: Okay, one more time and then it's off to bed.

Ultron: Struggling until the end. Illogical. You must realize the end is here.
Tony Stark: No. Still hope.
Ultron: False. Hope is a human delusion.

Tony Stark: Can you help us get out of the city?
Hawkeye: Yeah, right. Help the guy who created Ultron, who got my dad killed? What do you think my father would have done, Stark?
Tony Stark: Clint? He would have punched me in the face, then he would have helped me.
Hawkeye: Wow. You really knew my dad.

Azari: This plan seemed a lot better when Torunn and the Hulk were involved.
Tony Stark: Whether you know it or not, you've prepared for this all your lives.
Torunn: [raises sword] Aye, we did! And today we meet our destinies!
Hawkeye: She means that in a good way, right?
Azari: Probably better if we don't know.

Tony Stark: So, are you up for a little avenging?
James Rogers: Avengers, assemble!

Iron Man: Sunfire, it's an honor to be working with you!

Iron Man: Storm, I don't get it, why would Xavier agree to work with Magneto?

Iron Man: Magneto, ever thought of helping, rather than hurting mankind?

Iron Man: I hate to admit it Magneto, but you're really a talented fighter.

Iron Man: I used to think Wolverine was the most stubborn man alive. That was until I met you, Bishop!

Iron Man: [after being taken out by a primitive yet effective weapon, a log] Now, that was embarrassing.

Black Widow: [about the Chitauri mothership] Can you get through its defenses?
Iron Man: Hey, piece of cake. Except for that big cannon. Not a fan of the big cannon.

General Nick Fury: Stark, do you need a medic?
Tony Stark: Only if he moonlights as a mechanic.

[while selecting an Iron Man costume model]
Jarvis: I've always fancied the design and color scheme of the tailwind model.
Tony Stark: Nah, I believe heavy equipment is in order. The War Machine. Sturdy, impervious...
Jarvis: And handles like 10-tons of tractor.
Tony Stark: Yeah, but it's got some sweet guns.

Iron Man: These readings show M.O.D.O.K. is now more powerful than Doom.
Falcon: That fractal stone has really gone to his head. Get it? You see, it's lodged in his forehead. It's right in the middle there, between the eyebrow and his...
Wolverine: He's nothing but a head. Where else would it get stuck?
Thor: Oh, M.O.D.O.K., lord of the villains? Odin's doughnuts, it can not be.
Iron Man: Yeah, it can. Fortunately, I'm working on the S.A.P.S.S. S.A.P.S.S., the Stark Anti-Power Sucking System. That'll give us some protection.
Falcon: Uh, well, even so, that hyper head is already in the Hulk's class.
Hulk: Ugh, Hulk not in Hulk's class.
Hulk: [pokes his chest] Ow. Hulk got strong.

Hulk: Oh, Hulk feel wind-chil factor.
[Hulks pants drop again]

Iron Man: Can you do me a favor and say "moose and squirrel"?

[last lines]
Tony Stark: What would you say if I told you we're putting a team together?
Gen. Thaddeus 'Thunderbolt' Ross: Who's "we"?

Tony Stark: Mmm, the smell of stale beer and defeat. You know I hate to say "I told you so", General, but that super-soldier program was put on ice for a reason. I've always felt hardware was much more reliable.
Gen. Thaddeus 'Thunderbolt' Ross: Stark.
Tony Stark: General.
Gen. Thaddeus 'Thunderbolt' Ross: You always wear such nice suits.
[referring to Iron Man]
Tony Stark: Touche.
Tony Stark: I hear you have an unusual problem.
Gen. Thaddeus 'Thunderbolt' Ross: You should talk.
Tony Stark: You should listen. What if I told you we were putting a team together?
Gen. Thaddeus 'Thunderbolt' Ross: Who's "we"?

Marvel: Ultimate Alliance (2006) (VG)

Iron Man: [leveling up] Time for an upgrade!

Iron Man: Glad to see you remember me, Crimson Dynamo. It's been a while since I kicked your tin-plated butt.

Iron Man: Could have fooled me. You look like something from the early 1960's.

"The Super Hero Squad Show: Night in the Sanctorum (#1.9)" (2009)

[the Squad bunks with the Punisher in the Battle Van]
Iron Man: Thanks Punisher, we really appreciate this.
The Punisher: Hmmph, we're nothing by white blood cells, hunting the infection called crime. A sickness that sneaks in through the cracks, the way brussels sprouts sneak onto a plate of delicious macaroni and cheese. Sure, the city looks safe. Just push the bruessels sprouts to one side, right? Wrong! No matter where you put them, their vile, vegetable juices corrupt the whole plate. I'm out here to keep those stinkin' sprouts off the mac & cheese! Keep them from leaving the store in the first place!

[Awkward silence as Stark and Fury stare at the thief]
Nick Fury: RUN!
