Clint Barton quotes from Hawkeye

Clint Barton

There are several reasons why I'd never wear a flashy costume. My job is to be, number one, a ghost. Number two, my wife would divorce me if I put something like this on. And number three, uh… I'm not a role model. I'm sorry, Kate. I'm not a role model to anyone. Never have been.

Clint Barton

[looks at plaque] Natasha, I really need to talk to you right now. You were the bravest of us all, weren't you? Loyal, stubborn. You always had to win, didn't you? And for a stupid orange rock. I replayed that a million times in my head hoping for a different outcome, but I do my best every day to earn what you gave me. Just wanna say... just wanna say I miss you, and I'm so sorry for what I am about to do.

Clint

[to Kate] You took on Kingpin all by yourself. Not many people walk away from somethin' like that. And I'm so proud of you.

Did you turn your hearing aid off?

Clint Barton

I know what happens, I was there. You know who wasn't there? It was that guy: Ant-Man.

Mommy, Mommy, a superhero!

Wow, Stevie! You wanna say hi?

Kate Bishop

[points to girl with bow and arrow] Hey, look, I think that one's you.

Clint Barton

No, that's Katniss Everdeen. Let's go.

Kate Bishop

Your problem's branding.

Clint Barton

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 Bishop

No, it's branding.

Clint Barton

What are you, 18?

Kate Bishop

I'm 22.

Clint Barton

Yeah, same thing.

Clint

Look, I gotta find a place to stash you. Safe. So I can recover the suit and clean your mess.

Kate

Stash me? I'm not a bag of money.

Clint

No, you're not. A bag of money'd be useful to me.

Kate

I actually do know a place about 10 blocks away. Would a bag of money know a place?

Clint

When did everybody start saying, "I love you," to everybody all the time?

Kate

That was my mom. Since when did your heart shrink three sizes?

Clint

When a little girl in a ninja costume stole my Christmas.

Kate Bishop

We gotta walk the dog.

Clint Barton

[Unable to hear her] You weren't wrong.

Kate Bishop

He's been cooped up all day. I'm not sure how long a dog can...

Clint Barton

When you called yourself one of the world's greatest archers.

Kate Bishop

Oh my god, you really think so? I won't lie, I wasn't sure how well I...

Clint Barton

[Cutting her off] We probably should walk the dog, don't you think? He's been cooped up all day.

Clint Barton

We need a car.

Kate Bishop

Can we take this one?

Clint Barton

I'm not smashing a '72 Challenger, come on!

Kate Bishop

You lost your family in the blip?

Clint Barton

Yeah. Like half the world.

Kate Bishop

God, that must have been devastating.

Clint Barton

Yeah, there are no words.

Kate Bishop

Is that where you met the Ronin?

Kate Bishop

It's you, isn't it?

Clint Barton

Everybody dealt with the Blip in their own way. I continued to do what I was trained to do.

Kate Bishop

Protect people.

Clint Barton

Hurting people. Investigating first, but in the end, my job was always been to hurt people.

How do you know that?

Your secret whistle with Nat. She talked about you all the time, Yelena.

She did? What did she say?

Clint

She told me about how you got separated as kids. She was flying that plane. I asked her if she was scared. All she could think about is that you were safe. That never changed, Yelena. She loved you. And always wanted you safe.

You got so much time with her.

Clint

Yes, I did.

[gets more emotional] It shouldn't have gone this way. If I was there, I could have stopped it. I could have... I could have changed it.

Clint

Nothing was gonna stop her, Yelena. You know Natasha. [Yelena sobs] She made her choice. We're gonna have to find a way to live with that.

I loved her so much.

Clint

Me too.
