Agent Carter quotes

Did you knowingly sell military-grade technology to enemies of the United States?

Howard Stark

Not knowingly.

Did you do it unknowingly?

Howard Stark

Now, by definition, that would be impossible to answer.

Jack Thompson

If you don't mind, these surveillance reports need to be filed, and you're really so much better at that kind of thing.

Peggy Carter

What kind of thing is that, Agent Thompson? The alphabet? I can teach you. Let's start with words beginning with "A".

Daniel Sousa

[about Thompson] Poor guy. Heard he got his personality shot off in Iwo Jima.

Peggy Carter

You can't be serious.

Howard Stark

I try not to be, but sometimes it just slips out anyway.

Peggy Carter

You're new to espionage, aren't you?

Edwin Jarvis

Far from it. Last summer, I caught the cook pocketing the good spoons.

You can threaten me all you want, but I'm not talking.

Jack Thompson

I'm not here to make you talk, Miles. I'm here to make you sing.

Peggy Carter

It's so hard getting straight answers out of people nowadays. Whatever happened to a nice cup of tea and a civilized interrogation?

Peggy Carter

Comfortable back there, Mr. Jarvis?

Edwin Jarvis

Perfectly, thank you. These racks of explosives have distracted me from the smell of stale milk.

Roger Dooley

Do I even need to ask?

Ask what?

Roger Dooley

Yeah, I guess you're right. I used to strap a chair to my ass and take long walks around the neighborhood, too.

Edwin Jarvis

Your line of work requires support. People who care about your well-being, who'll be there to stitch up your wounds.

Peggy Carter

If I allow people to get close to me, I'm putting them in danger.

Edwin Jarvis

So your solution is to remove yourself from the world you wish to protect? Where's the sense in that? There is not a man or woman, no matter how fit he or she may be, who is capable of carrying the entire world on their shoulders.

Peggy Carter

Steve was.

Edwin Jarvis

From what Mr. Stark has told me, Captain Rogers relied heavily on you for courage, strategy, and moral guidance. You were his support. Your desire to help others is noble. But I doubt you'll find much success unless you allow others to help you.

Edwin Jarvis

In polite society, one telephones ahead before trespassing.

Peggy Carter

I imagine strange women traipsing through the property isn't a completely unusual occurrence.

Edwin Jarvis

That's a fair point.

Jack Thompson

It's funny. A lot of stuff gets stolen from Howard Stark — cars, bombs, death rays.

Edwin Jarvis

Actually, the death ray's accounted for. It's in Nevada, I believe.

Angie Martinelli

I got a bottle of Schnapps and half a rhubarb pie. Let's see which one makes us sick first.

Edwin Jarvis

Mr. Stark believed the intruder had some advanced technological assistance.

Peggy Carter

Mr. Stark believes brushing your teeth requires advanced technological assistance.

Angie Martinelli

I know how you feel: Blindsided. Like when my cousin Ralphie got hit by a bus. Granted, he did just knock off a newsstand, but still. Big shock.
