• Jarvis : Mark 42 inbound.

  [Stark sees the MK42 armor flying toward the battlefield] 

  Tony Stark : I'll be damned. The prodigal son returns.

  [Stark summons Mark 42 to come to him, but it hits a pole and breaks into pieces] 

  Tony Stark : Whatever.

  Aldrich Killian : You really didn't deserve her, Tony. It's a pity. I was so close to having her... perfect.

  [jumps down to confront Tony] 

  Tony Stark : OK, OK, wait, wait, slow down, slow down! You're right... I don't deserve her. Here's where you're wrong: she was already perfect.

  [Stark summons the Mark 42 pieces to assemble on Killian and attach him against the wall] 

  Tony Stark : Jarvis, do me a favor and blow Mark 42.

  Aldrich Killian : NOOO!

  [the suit explodes] 

• Aldrich Killian : No more false faces... You said you wanted the Mandarin? You're looking right at him! It was always me, Tony, right from the start! I AM THE MANDARIN!

  [Pepper, glowing with Extremis, swats him away with a pole and looks at Tony, who thought she was dead] 

  Tony Stark : I got nothing.

• Aldrich Killian : The early bird gets the worm, but it's the second mouse that gets the cheese.

• Aldrich Killian : [referring to Trevor Slattery]  You have met him, I presume?

  Tony Stark : Yeah, Sir Laurence Oblivier.

  Aldrich Killian : I know he's a little over the top sometimes. It's not entirely my fault. He has a tend... he's-he's a stage actor. They say his Lear was the toast of Croydon, wherever that is. Anyway, the point is, ever since that big dude with a hammer fell out of the sky, subtlety's kinda had its day.

• Pepper Potts : You think he'll help you... he won't.

  Aldrich Killian : It's more, uh, embarrassing than that. You're here as my, uh...

  Pepper Potts : Trophy.

  Aldrich Killian : Yeah.

• Maya Hansen : [puts a gun to her head]  Let him go! What's going to happen to your men, what's going to happen to YOU?

  [Killian shoots Maya] 

  Aldrich Killian : [to Stark]  Well, the good news is, a high-level position has just been vacated.

• Aldrich Killian : [about to Extremis-punch Stark]  Close your eyes. You don't want to see this happening.

  [brings down his fist...] 

  Tony Stark : [cuts off Killian's hand]  Yeah, be with you in a minute...

• Aldrich Killian : It's a beautiful day, Mr. Savin.

• [spoiler] 

  Aldrich Killian : But as I looked out over that city - nobody knew I was there, nobody could see me, no one was even looking - I had a thought that would guide me for years. Anonymity, Tony. Thanks to you, it's been my mantra ever since.

  [glances at Maya] 

  Aldrich Killian : Right? You simply rule from behind the scenes. Because the second you give evil a face - a bin Laden, a Gaddafi, a Mandarin - you hand the people a target.

• [from trailer] 

  Aldrich Killian : The whole world's gonna be watching.
