Charles: John, you watched a mugging. That's weird.
John: In competitive behavior, someone always loses.
Charles: Well, my niece knows that, John, and she's about this high.

View Quote Bill Cox: You designed the software, you find me a way in.

But if you can make him listen Beth, if you can make him do what I want, you'll all walk away from this unpleasantness, unscathed. Not because I'm a nice man, simply because there'll be no reason for me to hurt you. Make sense? Can I rely on your cooperation?

Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015) as Vision

View Quote Tony: I get first crack at the big guy. I'm the one he's waiting for.
Vision: [Walking past] That's true. He hates you the most.
View Quote Vision: You're afraid.
Ultron: Of you.
Vision: Of death. You're the last one.
Ultron: You were supposed to be the last. Stark asked for a savior…and settled for a slave.
Vision: I suppose we're both disappointments.
Ultron: [Chuckles] I suppose we are.
Vision: Humans are odd. They think order and chaos are somehow opposites, and try to control what won't be. But there is grace in their failings. I think you missed that.
Ultron: They're doomed.
Vision: Yes. [Pause] But a thing isn't beautiful because it lasts. It is a privilege to be among them.
Ultron: You're unbearably naïve.
Vision: Well,... I was born yesterday.
[Ultron leaps to attack Vision only to be destroyed off-screen]
View Quote Vision: I'm sorry, that was odd. Thank you.
Rogers: Thor, you helped create this?
Thor: I've had a vision. A whirlpool that sucks in all hope of life and at its centre is that. [points to the Mind Stone]
Banner: What, the gem?
Thor: It's the Mind Stone. It's one of the six Infinity Stones, the greatest power in the universe unparalleled in its destructive capabilities.
Rogers: Then why would you bring it here?
Thor: Because Stark is right.
Banner: Oh, it's definitely the end times.
Thor: The Avengers cannot defeat Ultron.
Vision: Not alone.
Rogers: Why does your Vision sound like J.A.R.V.I.S.?
Stark: We reconfigured J.A.R.V.I.S.'s matrix to create something new.
Rogers: I think I've had my fill of new.
Vision: You think I'm a child of Ultron?
Rogers: You're not?
Vision: I'm not Ultron. I'm not J.A.R.V.I.S.. I'm uh... I am...
Wanda: I looked in your head and saw annihilation.
Vision: Look again.
Barton: Yeah. Her seal of approval means jack to me.
Thor: Their powers, the holes in our heads, Ultron himself, they all came from the Mind Stone and nothing compared to what it can unleash. But with it on our side-
Rogers: Is it? [to Vision] Are you... on our side?
Vision: I don't think it's that simple.
Barton: Well better get real simple real soon.
Vision: I am on the side of life. Ultron isn't. He will end it all.
Stark: What's he waiting for?
Vision: You.
Banner: Where?
Barton: Sakovia, he's got Nat there too.
Banner: If we're wrong about you; if you're the monster that Ultron made you to be...
Vision: What will you do?. I don't want to kill Ultron. He's unique, and he's in pain. But that pain will roll over the Earth, so he must be destroyed. Every form he's built, every trace he's built on the net. We have to act now, and not one of us can do it without the others. Maybe I am a monster. I don't think I'd know if I were one. I'm not what you are; I'm not what you intended. So there may be no way that you can trust me, but we need to go.
[Vision holds Thor's hammer to him. After a brief, awkward pause, Thor takes his hammer and Vision walks off.]
Thor: Right... [pats Stark on the shoulder] Well done.
Rogers: Three minutes. Get everything you need.

Tony Stark: Tell you what. Throw a little hot-rod red in there.
Jarvis: Oh yes. That should help you keep a low profile.
View Quote 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!!
View Quote [After end-credits. Tony reaches home]
Tony Stark: Jarvis.
Jarvis : [distorted] Welcome home, Sir.
[Tony notices a figure by the window]
Nick Fury: "I am Iron Man…" Think you're the only super hero 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?
[The man walks into the light]
Nick Fury : Nick Fury, Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.

View Quote [Last words] It's alright. It's alright. I love you. Wanda Maximoff / Scarlet Witch
View Quote Vision: Wanda, it's time.
Scarlet Witch: No, don't.
Vision: We can't stop him, we can't. Look at me, you have the power to destroy the stone, you must do it, please... we are out of time.
Scarlet Witch: I can't.
Vision: You can. If he gets the stone half the Universe dies. It shouldn't be you, but it is. It's alright, you could never hurt me. I just feel you.
