Kate BishopA plunger arrow? What is the trick, that it's completely useless?
KateWhen I was younger, aliens invaded. And I was alone. And I was terrified. But then I saw you, Clint, fighting aliens with a stick and a string. I saw you jump from that building even though you can't fly, even though you don't have superpowers. And I thought, "if he could do that, then I didn't have to be scared." You showed me that being a hero isn't just for people who can fly or shoot lasers out of their hands, it's for anyone, who's brave enough to do what's right, no matter the cost.
What an unexpected surprise.
Kate BishopAll surprises are unexpected.
Mommy, Mommy, a superhero!
Wow, Stevie! You wanna say hi?
[boy runs straight past Clint and Kate, to a band of street performers dressed up as superheroes]
Kate Bishop[points to girl with bow and arrow] Hey, look, I think that one's you.
No, that's Katniss Everdeen. Let's go.
Kate BishopYour problem's branding.
No, my problem is you. And this ninja suit, and the people trying to kill you because of this ninja suit. The whole thing's a problem that I'm going to solve today, so I can go home to my family.
Kate BishopNo, it's branding.
What are you, 18?
Kate BishopI'm 22.
Yeah, same thing.
Look, I gotta find a place to stash you. Safe. So I can recover the suit and clean your mess.
KateStash me? I'm not a bag of money.
No, you're not. A bag of money'd be useful to me.
KateI actually do know a place about 10 blocks away. Would a bag of money know a place?
When did everybody start saying, "I love you," to everybody all the time?
KateThat was my mom. Since when did your heart shrink three sizes?
When a little girl in a ninja costume stole my Christmas.
What's this I hear about a fire in your apartment last night?
KateI can explain. Can we talk? Without the interloper?
Please.
No, no, it makes perfect sense that she would hostile. She likely feels displaced by me, and she's testing our new dynamic. She both desires my approval, yet wants to set firm boundaries. She feels threatened by me, and you know what? I can understand why. I bought a book. About being a stepdad.
KateMoney well spent, Jack.
Kate BishopWe gotta walk the dog.
[Unable to hear her] You weren't wrong.
Kate BishopHe's been cooped up all day. I'm not sure how long a dog can...
When you called yourself one of the world's greatest archers.
Kate BishopOh my god, you really think so? I won't lie, I wasn't sure how well I...
[Cutting her off] We probably should walk the dog, don't you think? He's been cooped up all day.
We need a car.
Kate BishopCan we take this one?
I'm not smashing a '72 Challenger, come on!
Kate BishopYou lost your family in the blip?
Yeah. Like half the world.
Kate BishopGod, that must have been devastating.
Yeah, there are no words.
Kate BishopIs that where you met the Ronin?
[Clint stays silent]
Kate BishopIt's you, isn't it?
Everybody dealt with the Blip in their own way. I continued to do what I was trained to do.
Kate BishopProtect people.
Hurting people. Investigating first, but in the end, my job was always been to hurt people.
Well, you know what they say… life is short. You never know what you're gonna get. (Eleanor laughs) What? What'd I say? Did I say something wrong or…
KateEvery time you use one of the those aphorisms, they are… wrong.
What? No. That can't be right, is it? Darling. Please.
The other day, you said, "Absence makes the heart grow older."
Because that's what it does. No. Really?
Yeah. Honey. Come here. Aw. You're making my heart grow older.
Is this what heroes do? Arrest their mothers on Christmas?
KateI'm sorry. I love you, Mom.
