View Quote Jim Rhodes: [On the phone with Tony, after seeing the suit in action] This isn't a game. You do not send civilian equipment into my active war zone. Do you understand me? Do you understand that?

Jim Rhodes: What?
Tony Stark: IT'S ME!
[screen shows the suit hanging on the bottom of a jet]

View Quote Jim Rhodes: [talking over phone] What the hell is that noise?
Tony Stark: I'm driving with the top down.

Tony Stark: Funny how that works, huh?
Jim Rhodes: Yeah. Speaking of funny, we got a weapons depot that was just blown up a few klicks from where you were being held.
Tony Stark: Well, I'd say that's a hot spot. Sounds... [takes a breath] like someone stepped in and did your job for you.
Jim Rhodes: Why do you sound out of breath, Tony?
Tony Stark: I'm not. I was just jogging through the canyon.
Jim Rhodes: I thought you were driving.
Tony Stark: Right, I was driving... to the canyon... where I'm going for a jog.
Jim Rhodes: You sure you don't have any tech in that area I should know about?
Tony Stark: Nope.
Jim Rhodes: Good, because we got a lock on something and we're about to blow it to kingdom come.
Tony Stark: [Two F-22 Raptors fall in position behind Stark] Whoops, there's my exit!

Tony Stark: I don't want to see this on your MySpace page. Please, no gang signs.
[The soldier lowers his hand]
Tony Stark: No, throw it up. I'm kidding. I love peace. I'd be out of a job with peace.

View Quote Pepper Potts: I thought you were finished making weapons?
Tony Stark: It is. This is a flight stabilizer. It's perfectly harmless.

View Quote Tony Stark: [After seeing the gold 3-D render of his suit] A little ostentatious, don't you think?
Jarvis: [dripping with sarcasm] What was I thinking? You're usually so discreet.
Tony Stark: Tell you what. Throw a little hot-rod red in there.
Jarvis: Oh yes. That should help you keep a low profile.

View Quote Tony Stark: [As they're dancing] Am I making you uncomfortable?
Pepper Potts: Oh, no, I always forget to wear deodorant and dance with my boss in a room full of people I work with in a dress with no back.
Tony Stark: Well, you look great, you smell great. But I could fire you if that would take the edge off.
Pepper Potts: I honestly don't think you could tie your shoes without me.
Tony Stark: I'd make it a week.
Pepper Potts: Really. What's your social security number?
Tony Stark: [long pause] Five.
Pepper Potts: Five? Yeah, you're missing just a couple of digits there.
Tony Stark: The other eight? But I've got you for the other eight.

Yinsen: My family is dead Stark. And I'm going to see them now. It's okay. I want this. I want this.
Tony Stark: Thank you for saving me.
Yinsen: Don't waste it. Don't waste your life, Stark.

View Quote Tony Stark: Do you have a family?

Tony Stark: Well, get yourself something nice from me.
Pepper Potts: I already did.
Tony Stark: And?
Pepper Potts: Oh, it was... very nice. Very tasteful. Thank you, Mr. Stark.

View Quote Tony Stark: I just want you to reach in, and gently lift the wire out.
Pepper Potts: Is it safe?
Tony Stark: Yeah. It should be fine. It's just like Operation, just don't let it touch the socket or it'll go beep.
Pepper Potts: What do you mean operation?
Tony Stark: It's just a game. Nevermind. Just gently lift the wire, ok? Alright.
Pepper Potts: You know, I—I, uh—I don't think that I'm qualified to do that.
Tony Stark: No, no you're fine.You are the most capable qualified trustworthy person I've ever met. You'll do great. Is it too much to ask? 'Cause--
Pepper Potts: Ok, ok.
Tony Stark: —I really need your help here.
Pepper Potts: Oh. Ah. Ew, there's pus!
Tony Stark: It's not pus. It's an inorganic plasmic discharge, it's from the device, not my body.
Pepper Potts: It smells.
Tony Stark: Yeah, it does.

View Quote Tony Stark: 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. 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.
Press Reporter #1: Mr. Stark, what happened over there?
Tony Stark: I had my eyes opened. I came to realize that I had more to offer this world than just making things that blow up. And that is why, effective immediately, I am shutting down the weapons manufacturing division of Stark Industries.
