What If...? quotes

Peggy

I'm sorry. You were meant to be the one to end the war.

Steve

Now you will. And don't worry about me. I never was much of a dancer anyway.

Peggy

Maybe you haven't found the right partner.

You're an agent. You're not qualified for field duty.

Captain Carter

Then you better promote me. "Captain" has a nice ring to it.

Howard

Drowning your troubles? I thought you Brits were supposed to be resilient.

Peggy

[sarcastic] Just the men, apparently.

Howard

Can I give you a word of advice?

Peggy

I'd rather you didn't.

Howard

Flynn's a moron. Lucky for you, I'm a genius. [puts the box containing Peggy's costume on the table]

Peggy

What's this?

Howard

This was supposed to be your USO "let's go sell some war bonds" costume, but I made a few upgrades.

Peggy

Your covert skills need work...

Howard

Then this is gonna be awkward. [slams the shield onto the table]

Steve

[wearing an armored battle suit resembling the Iron Man Mark I armor] Stark made me some new dancing shoes. What do you think?

Captain Carter

Well, then we better start dancing.

Peggy

The way people view me has changed. I'm no longer screaming to be heard, to be seen, to be in the room.

Steve

To be respected. Must be nice. I'm still that skinny kid from Brooklyn, now just in a big metal suit.

Peggy

You're more than the suit. The suit is nothing without the man inside it. You're my hero, Steve. I mean, you're a hero.

Steve

You're my hero, too.

Howard

Red, green, blue... Who paints a button blue?!

Captain Carter

Don't tell me the American playboy needs help pushing buttons.

Howard

Hedy Lamarr and I spent a weekend together, but she wasn't teaching me German!

Who are you? Identify yourself!

Star-Lord T'Challa

Who, me? I am just an ordinary junker. [unmasks and steps into the light] But there is one name you may know me by.

Oh, my. Star-Lord! I'm a huge fan of your work! What are you doing here?

Star-Lord T'Challa

That was not the reaction I was expecting.

You know, if we wanted to have some real fun, we'd make like the old days and sell this bad boy to the highest bidder.

T'Challa

If we made like the old days, you'd only have half of your teeth. Besides, wouldn't you rather use it to jump-start the Krylorians' dying star, save their system from extinction? You know as well as I, no treasure is worth as much as the good that can be done with it.

I'm a big enough man to admit when I'm wrong. T'Challa here showed me there was more than one way to reallocate the universe's resources.

T'Challa

Sometimes the best weapon in your arsenal is just a good argument.

Aye, aye, commander. Although I still assert my plan was not without its merits.

Pretty sure it's still just genocide, big guy.

And I'm pretty sure it's efficient.

T'Challa

The collection is much bigger than I anticipated. All this suffering, and for what?

Howard

My guess: he's compensating for something big. Or small, if you catch my drift, eh?

T'Challa

You are quite articulate for a duck.

Howard

That, sir, is very close-minded.

T'Challa

I've always felt at home up here. But now, knowing everything, I'm not quite sure where I belong.

Seen a lot of space travelers in my day, kid. And if I learned anything from watching you, on any planet, among any people, there ain't no place in this galaxy where you don't belong. Where you wanna be, that's the question, isn't it? You're just gonna have to follow your heart on that one, Mr. Star-Lord.

Coulson

[about Thor] Suspect is caucasian male, mid-twenties, with...Really great hair.

Fury

Excuse me...?

Coulson

It's an accurate description. Sir, he’s gorgeous.

Fury

[answering a cell call from Natasha] I'm a little busy here, Widow.

Natasha

Oh, good. We'll start a support group. I've got General Ross, a dozen snipers and a few tanks. What are you dealing with?

Fury

Space Vikings.

Natasha

Showoff.

Fury

Declaring war on this planet will not bring your prince back!

[stops Loki] Wait. He's not wrong. The All-Father would want us to listen.

Fury

We have the same enemy here. The person who killed your brother also killed two of my people. Good people. We should be working together.

Loki

We are not allies.

Fury

Then let me help you. I promise, when I find your brother's killer, you will have your pound of flesh.

Loki

[takes the staff that a member of the Einherjar has handed him] What a fascinating choice of words. But I shall require the entire corpse.

Fury

You need to give me time.

Loki

[glances at the sun, then turns back to Fury] Very well. You have until the next rise of Midgard's sun to deliver my brother's assassin, or I will reduce this planet to ash and ice.

Coulson

[nervously] Why do you need my password?

Natasha

[sighs] I need to get into the Avengers Initiative files, but I'm locked out of the system. And wanted for murder.

Coulson

I'm not telling you my password, Romanoff.

Natasha

Why not?

Coulson

Because I'm not.

Natasha

Coulson. Clint was your friend, too.

Coulson

#SteveSteveSteveIHeartSteve0704.

Natasha

Wow. Good one, Coulson.

Coulson

What?

Natasha

No, nothing. That's great. Thank you.
