  • 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.
I Shouldn’t Even Be Alive….unless it was for a reason

{Let’s pretend I call a press conference and in answer to a question….}

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.
Tony Stark: The truth is…
Tony Stark: I am Iron Man. {Sanjay “on the air” Connare}

If you keep defying the odds, either you’ll lose or there’s a reason you keep defying them. Am I a superhero?
