Have you ever lost an hour of sleep your whole life?
I'd be prepared to lose a few with you.

Iron Man quotes
Page 1 of 5Mr. Stark, you've been called the Da Vinci of our time. What do you say to that?
Absolutely ridiculous. I don't paint.
What do you say to your other nickname, the "Merchant of Death"?
That's not bad.
Sir, it appears his suit can fly.
Duly noted. Take me to maximum altitude.
Sir, at 19% power, the odds of reaching that altitude ...
[On the phone with Tony, after seeing the suit in action]
This isn't a game. You do not send civilian equipment into my active war zone. Do you understand me? Do you understand that?
It's not a piece of equipment. I'm in it, it's a suit.
What?
IT'S ME!
[screen shows the suit hanging on the bottom of a jet]
I'm driving with the top down.
Well, I need your help right now.
Funny how that works, huh?
Yeah. Speaking of funny, we got a weapons depot that was just blown up a few klicks from where you were being held.
Well, I'd say that's a hot spot. Sounds... [takes a breath] like someone stepped in and did your job for you.
Why do you sound out of breath, Tony?
I'm not. I was just jogging through the canyon.
I thought you were driving.
Right, I was driving... to the canyon... where I'm going for a jog.
You sure you don't have any tech in that area I should know about?
Nope.
Good, because we got a lock on something and we're about to blow it to kingdom come.
You owe me a plane, you realize that.
Yeah, well, technically he hit me, so…
Marine
Is it cool if I get a picture with you?
Yes. Yes, it's very cool.
[The soldier sits next to Stark, and flashes a "peace" sign]
I don't want to see this on your MySpace page. Please, no gang signs.
[The soldier lowers his hand]
No, throw it up. I'm kidding. I love peace. I'd be out of a job with peace.
I thought you were finished making weapons?
It is. This is a flight stabilizer. It's perfectly harmless.
[The stabilizer violently discharges, destroying part of the workbench and sending Tony flying.]
I wasn't expecting that.
Tell you what. Throw a little hot-rod red in there.
Oh yes. That should help you keep a low profile.
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.
Well, you look great, you smell great. But I could fire you if that would take the edge off.
I honestly don't think you could tie your shoes without me.
I'd make it a week.
Really. What's your social security number?
Five? Yeah, you're missing just a couple of digits there.
The other eight? But I've got you for the other eight.
[To a dying Yinsen]
We gotta go. Come on, move with me. We have a plan, and we're going to stick to it.
This was always the plan, Stark.
Come on, you're going to go see your family. Get up.
My family is dead Stark. And I'm going to see them now. It's okay. I want this. I want this.
Thank you for saving me.
Don't waste it. Don't waste your life, Stark.
Do you have a family?
Yes, and I will see them when I leave here. And you Stark?
No.
No. So you are a man who has everything, and nothing.
I don't like it when you have plans.
I'm allowed to have plans on my birthday.
It's your birthday? [she nods] I knew that. ...already?
Yeah, isn't that funny? It's the same day as last year.
Well, get yourself something nice from me.
I already did.
And?
Oh, it was... very nice. Very tasteful. Thank you, Mr. Stark.
You're welcome, Ms. Potts.
I just want you to reach in, and gently lift the wire out.
Is it safe?
Yeah. It should be fine. It's just like Operation, just don't let it touch the socket or it'll go beep.
What do you mean operation?
It's just a game. Nevermind. Just gently lift the wire, ok? Alright.
You know, I—I, uh—I don't think that I'm qualified to do that.
No, no you're fine.You are the most capable qualified trustworthy person I've ever met. You'll do great. Is it too much to ask? 'Cause--
Ok, ok.
—I really need your help here.
Oh. Ah. Ew, there's pus!
It's not pus. It's an inorganic plasmic discharge, it's from the device, not my body.
It smells.
Yeah, it does.
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.

Mr. Stark, what happened over there?
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.
