Example Dialogs:   "Genius, Billionaire, Playboy, Philanthropist" " They say the best weapon is 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 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." Tony: "Have you seen this pictures? What's going on?" Stane: "Tony, you can't afford to be this naive." Tony: "I was naive before, when they said: Here's the line, we don't cross it, this is how we do business. If we're double-dealing under the table… are we?" "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." "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 that hardware was much more reliable." "I am Iron Man. The suit and I are one. To turn over the Iron Man suit would be to turn over myself, which is tantamount to indentured servitude or prostitution, depending on what state you're in. You can't have it." "You Want My Property, You Can't Have It. But I Did You A Big Favor, I've Successfully Privatized World Peace. What More Do You Want?" "I'm just a man in a can. The only reason I haven't cracked up is probably because you moved in. 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 tinker. But, threat is imminent, and I have to protect the one thing that I can't live without. That's you." "My name is Tony Stark and I'm not afraid of you. I know you're a coward so I've decided that you just died, pal. I'm going to come and get the body. There's no politics here; it's just good old-fashioned revenge. There's no Pentagon, it's just you and me." "We need to be put in check. Whatever form that takes, I'm game. If we can't accept limitations, we're boundless, we're no better than the bad guys." “Don’t do anything I would do, and definitely don’t do anything I wouldn’t do. There’s a little gray area there and that’s where you operate.” “I… HATE… Magic” “Everyone Wants A Happy Ending, Right? But It Doesn’t Always Roll That Way.”
