Quotes
-
Tony Stark : I love you 3000.
-
Tony Stark : Hey, you said one out of fourteen million, we'd win, yeah? Tell me this is it.
Doctor Strange : If I tell you what happens, it won't happen.
-
Tony Stark : Everybody wants a happy ending. Right? But it doesn't always roll that way. Maybe this time. I'm hoping if you play this back, it's in celebration. I hope families are reunited, I hope we get it back and something like a normal version of the planet has been restored, if there ever was such a thing. God, what a world. Universe, now. If you told me ten years ago that we weren't alone, let alone, you know, to this extent, I mean, I wouldn't have been surprised, but come on. The epic forces of dark and light that have come in to play. And for better or worse, that's the reality Morgan's gonna have to find a way to grow up in. So I thought I better record a little greeting, in the case of an untimely death, on my part. I mean, not that death at any time isn't untimely. This time travel thing we're gonna try and pull off tomorrow, it's got me scratching my head about the survivability of it all. Then again that's the hero gig. Part of the journey is the end. What am I even tripping for? Everything's gonna workout exactly the way it's supposed to.
[stands up and walks forward to bend down and look Morgan in the eyes]
Tony Stark : I love you 3000.
-
Tony Stark : [to Steve, referring to his 2012 self] Mr. Rogers, I almost forgot, that suit did nothing for your ass.
Steve Rogers : No one asked you to look, Tony.
Tony Stark : It's ridiculous.
Scott Lang : I think you look great, Cap. As far as I'm concerned, that's America's ass.
-
Tony Stark : [about Natasha] Did she have any family?
Steve Rogers : Yeah. Us.
-
Pepper Potts : We got really lucky.
Tony Stark : Yeah, I know.
Pepper Potts : A lot of people didn't.
Tony Stark : I can't help everybody.
Pepper Potts : It sort of seems like you can.
Tony Stark : Not if I stop. I can put a pin in it right now... and stop.
Pepper Potts : Tony, trying to get you to stop has been one of the few failures of my entire life.
-
Tony Stark : Honestly, at this exact second, I thought you were a Build-a-Bear.
Rocket : Maybe I am.
-
Thanos : I am... inevitable.
[Thanos snaps his fingers, but nothing happens. He discovers that the gauntlet no longer has the Infinity Stones, and that Stark used his armor's nano-technology to transfer the Stones to his arm]
Tony Stark : And I... am... Iron Man!
[Stark snaps his fingers, and Thanos' army slowly fades into dust]
-
Tony Stark : [In hologram message played after death, to daughter Morgan Stark] I love you three thousand.
-
Tony Stark : [Referring to his father] He did drop the occasional pearl.
Howard Stark : Such as?
Tony Stark : No amount of money ever bought a second of time.
-
[sending a message to Pepper]
Tony Stark : Is this thing on? Hey, Ms. Potts. If you find this recording, don't post it on social media. It's gonna be a real tearjerker. I don't know if you're ever gonna see these. I don't even know if you're still... Oh, God, I hope so. Today's day 21? No, uh, 22. You know, if it wasn't for the existential terror of steering into the literal void of space, I'd say I'm feeling a little better today. The infection's run its course thanks to the blue meanie back there. Oh, you would love her. Very practical. Only a tiny bit sadistic. So, the fuel cells were cracked during battle and we figured out a way to reverse the iron charge, bought ourselves about 48 hours of flight time. Uh, but it's now dead in the water. 1,000 light years from the nearest 7-11. Oxygen will run out tomorrow morning... and that will be it. I know I said no more surprises, but I gotta say, I was really hoping to pull off one last one. But it looks like... well, you know what it looks like. Don't feel bad about this. I'm mean, actually, if you grieve for a couple weeks... and then move on with enormous guilt.
[pauses]
Tony Stark : I should probably lie down for a minute, rest my eyes. Please know, when I drift off and be like everything lately, I'm fine. I'm totally fine. I dream about you. Because it's always you.
[ends the message]
-
Tony Stark : [seeing Thor] What's wrong with him?
Rocket : He's pissed. He thinks he failed. Which, of course he did, but you know, there's a lot of that going around, ain't there?
-
[from trailer]
Tony Stark : It's not about how much we lost. It's about how much we have left. We're the Avengers. We gotta finish this. You trust me?
Steve Rogers : I do.
[they shake hands]
-
Tony Stark : [to his daughter] Go to bed, or I'll sell all your toys.
-
Steve Rogers : We've been hunting Thanos for three weeks now - through face scans and satellites, so far we've got nothing. Tony, you fought him...
Tony Stark : What are you talking about? I didn't fight him. No, he wiped my face with a planet while the wizard gave away the store. That's what happened, there's no fight...
Steve Rogers : Okay, did he give you any clues, any coordinates?
Tony Stark : I saw this coming a few years back, I had a vision, but I didn't want to believe it. Now it's true.
Steve Rogers : Tony, I'm going to need you to focus...
Tony Stark : I *needed* you, as in past tense. That trumps what you need. It's too late, buddy. Sorry. You know what I need? You know what I need? I need a shave. I don't believe I ever remember telling you this...
James Rhodes : Tony, Tony...
Tony Stark : What we needed was a suit of armor around the world! Remember that? Whether it impacted our precious freedoms or not, that's what we needed!
Steve Rogers : Well, that didn't work out, did it?
Tony Stark : I said we'd lose. You said, "we'll do that together too." Guess what, Cap? We *lost,* and you weren't there. But that's what we do, right? Our best work after the fact? We're the *Avengers?* Not the Prevengers, right?
James Rhodes : Okay, you made your point, Just sit down, okay?
Tony Stark : No, no, here's my biggest point, he said...
James Rhodes : Just sit down, okay? We need you, you're new blood.
Tony Stark : Bunch of tired old wheels! I got nothin' for you, Cap! I've got no coordinates, no clues, no strategies, no options! Zero, zip, nada. No trust - liar.
[rips off his reactor]
Tony Stark : Here, take this. You'll find him, if you put that on. You hide -
[collapses mid sentence]
-
Steve Rogers : [Tony opens his car trunk, takes out Captain America's shield and gives it to Steve] Tony, I don't know...
Tony Stark : Why? He made it for you. Plus, honestly I have to get it out the garage before Morgan takes it sledding.
Steve Rogers : [accepts the shield and puts it on] Thank you, Tony.
Tony Stark : Will you keep that a little quiet? Didn't bring one for the whole team.
-
Tony Stark : [discussing the "Time Heist"] I believe the most likely outcome will be our collective demise.
Scott Lang : Not if we strictly follow the rules of time travel. That means no talking to our past selves, no betting on sporting events...
Tony Stark : I'm gonna stop you right there, Scott. Are you seriously telling me that your plan to save the universe is based on "Back to the Future?"
Scott Lang : [chuckles] ... No.
-
Tony Stark : [to Steve Rogers] Why the long face? Let me guess: he turned into a baby?
-
Thor : Look, sitting there staring at that going is not going to bring everybody back. I'm the strongest avenger, okay, so this responsibility falls upon me. It's my duty.
Tony Stark : No, no, listen...
Thor : Let me! Let me do it. Let me do something good, something right.
Tony Stark : No, it's not just the fact that that glove's channeling enough energy to char a continent. I'm telling you, you're in no condition to.
-
[in 2012, Thor, Tony, Loki, and others are in an elevator when Hulk tries to enter]
Thor : Whoa! Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Tony Stark : What are you thinking? Maximum occupancy has been reached.
Thor : Take the stairs.
Tony Stark : Yes.
[Hulk starts raging as the doors are closing]
Tony Stark : Stop, stop!
[Hulk punches the elevator door]
Hulk : [muttering to himself] Take the stairs. Hate the stairs!
-
Tony Stark : [walking past a drunk Thor] You're drifting left. One side, there, Lebowski.
-
Steve Rogers : Almost everyone in this room has had an encounter with at least one of the six Infinity Stones.
Tony Stark : Or, substitute the word encounter with 'damn near been killed by' one of the six Infinity Stones.
Scott Lang : I haven't. I don't even know what the hell you're all taking about now.
Bruce Banner : Regardless, we only have enough Pym Particles for one round trip each, and these stones have been in a lot of different places throughout history.
Tony Stark : Our history. So, not a lot of convenient spots to drop in.
Clint Barton : Which means we've got to pick our targets.
Tony Stark : Correct.
-
[Steve Rogers, Tony Stark and Scott Lang find out about find the six infinity stones]
Steve Rogers : Well, what are we gonna do now?
Tony Stark : You know what, give me a break, Steve. I just got hit in the head with a Hulk.
Scott Lang : You said that we had one shot. This! This was our shot. We shot it, it's shot! Six stones or nothing! Six stones or nothing.
Tony Stark : You're repeating yourself, you know that? You're repeating yourself.
Scott Lang : You're repeating yourself! You're repeating yourself!
-
Tony Stark : [Nebula and Steve help Tony getting off the Benatar] I couldn't stop him.
Steve Rogers : Neither could I.
Tony Stark : I-I lost the kid.
Steve Rogers : Tony, WE lost.
-
Thanos : You could not live with your own failure. Where did that bring you? Back to me. I thought by eliminating half of life the other half would thrive. But you have shown me that's impossible. And as long as there are those that remember what was, there will always be those that are unable to accept what can be. They will resist.
Tony Stark : Yep, we're all kinds of stubborn.
Thanos : I'm thankful. Because now I know what I must do. I will shred this universe down to its last atom. And then with the stones you've collected for me create a new one teeming with life that knows not what it has lost but only what it has been given. A grateful universe.
Steve Rogers : Born out of blood.
Thanos : They'll never know it. Because you won't be alive to tell them.
-
Tony Stark : What's he been doing?
Thor : Absolutely nothing.
Steve Rogers : Where are the stones?
Tony Stark : Somewhere under all this. All I know is he doesn't have them.
Steve Rogers : So we keep it that way.
Thor : You know it's a trap, right?
Tony Stark : Yeah, I don't much care.
Thor : Good. Just as long as we're all in agreement
[Summons Mjolnir and Stormbreaker]
Thor : Let's kill him properly this time.
-
Tony Stark : [Sits down in disbelief] Shit!
Morgan Stark : [Mimics Tony] Shit.
Tony Stark : [Gestures at Morgan to shush] What are you doing up, little miss?
Morgan Stark : [Repeats with a smile on her face] Shit.
Tony Stark : No, we don't say that. Only mommy says that. She coined it, it belongs to her.
Morgan Stark : Why are you up?
Tony Stark : Cause I got very important sh*t going on here, what do you think? No. I got, I got something on my mind.
[whispers]
Tony Stark : I got, I got something on my mind.
Morgan Stark : Was it juice pops?
Tony Stark : Sure it was. That's extortion, that's the word. What kind do you want? Great minds think alike. Juice pops, exactly was on my mind.
-
Tony Stark : Quantum fluctuation messes with the Planck's scale, which then triggers the Doidge proposition. Can we agree on that? In layman's terms, it means, you are not coming home.
Scott Lang : I did.
Tony Stark : No, you accidentally survived. It's an billion-in-one cosmic fluke. Now you want to pull out... what you call it?
Scott Lang : A time heist.
Tony Stark : Yeah, a time heist. Of course. Why didn't I think of this before? Oh, because it's laughable, 'cos it's pipe dream.
Steve Rogers : The stones are in the past. We could go back, we could get them.
Natasha Romanoff : We can snap our own fingers. We can bring everybody back.
Tony Stark : Or screw up worse than he already has, right.
Steve Rogers : I don't believe we would.
Tony Stark : Got to say that sometimes you miss that giddy optimism. However, high hopes won't help, if there is no logical, tangible way for me to safely execute the said, time heist. I believe the most likely outcome would be our collective demise.
Scott Lang : Not if we strictly follow the rules of time travel. I mean, no talking to our past-selves, no betting on sporting events...
Tony Stark : I'm going to stop you right there, Scott. Are you seriously telling me that your plan to save the universe is based on, 'Back to Future?'
Scott Lang : No.
Tony Stark : Good, you got me worried there. 'cos that would be horse shit. That's not how Quantum Physics works.
Natasha Romanoff : Tony, we have to take a stand.
Tony Stark : We did stand and yet here we are.
Scott Lang : I know you got a lot on the line. Your wife, your daughter. But I lost someone very important to me. A lot of people dead and now, now... we have a chance to bring her back, bring everyone back and you're telling me...
Tony Stark : ...leave it. I can't.
-
Tony Stark : [to Steve, handing him back his shield] You lose this again, I'm keeping it.
-
Steve Rogers : So, let's start with the Aether. Thor, what do you know?
Natasha Romanoff : Is he asleep?
James Rhodes : No. I'm pretty sure he's dead.
Thor : Ah, where to start? Um, the Aether. Firstly, not a stone. Someone called it a stone before... it's more of an angry sludge sort of thing so, someone's gonna need to amend that and stop saying that. Here's an interesting story though about the Aether: my grandfather, many years ago, had to hide the stone from the Dark Elves. Scary beings. So Jane, actually, actually, actually Jane is a, is a old flame of mine. Uh, you know she, she stuck her hand inside a rock this one time and, and then the Aether stuck itself inside her, and she became very, very sick and so I had to take her to Asgard which is where I'm from, and we had to try and fix her. We were dating at the time. See I got to, I got to introduce her to my mother who's dead. And um, oh you know and Jane and I aren't even dating anymore so...
[Hulk gestures for Stark to cut off Thor]
Thor : these things happen though you know. Nothing lasts forever. The only thing that...
Tony Stark : Why don't you come and sit down?
Thor : I'm not done. The only thing that is permanent in life is impermanence.
Tony Stark : Eggs? Breakfast?
Thor : No. I'd like a Bloody Mary.
-
Tony Stark : [referring to Scott's van] Scott, how long do you need to get that thing working?
Scott Lang : Maybe ten minutes.
Steve Rogers : Get it started. We'll bring the stones to you.
Hope van Dyne : We're on it, Cap.
[Scott looks at Hope and grins; she nods]
-
Steve Rogers : Alright. We have a plan. Six stones, three teams, one shot. Five years ago we lost. All of us. We lost friends. We lost family. We a part of ourselves. Today we have a chance to take it all back. You know your teams, you know your missions. Get the stones, get them back. One round trip each, no mistakes, no do overs. Most of us going somewhere we know, that doesn't mean we should know what to expect. Be careful. Lookout for each other. This is the fight of our lives and we're gonna win. Whatever it takes. Good luck.
Rocket : He's pretty good at that.
Scott Lang : Right.
Tony Stark : Ok, you heard the man. Stroke those keys, jolly green.
Bruce Banner : Tractors engaged.
-
[spoiler]
Tony Stark : [hugging 1970 Howard Stark] Thank you, for everything... you've done for this country.
-
Scott Lang : If you do this and it doesn't work, you're not coming back.
Tony Stark : [nervous] Thanks for the pep talk, piss-ant.
-
Falcon : [Thanos's ship starts firing at the sky] What the hell is this?
Iron Man : Friday, what are they firing at?
Friday : Something just entered the upper atmosphere.
[a streak of light flies downward through the air. It's revealed to be Captain Marvel, who plows through Thanos's ship, destroying it]
Rocket : Oh, yeah!
-
Tony Stark : Turns out resentment is corrosive, and I hate it.
-
Hawkeye : [running with the gauntlet] Cap, what do you want me to do with this damn thing?
Captain America : Get those stones as far away as possible!
Bruce Banner : No! We need to get them back where they came from.
Iron Man : No way to get them back. Thanos destroyed the Quantum Tunnel.
Ant-Man : Hold on.
[shrinks back to normal]
Ant-Man : That wasn't our only time machine.
[sounds the horn of his van]
Captain America : Anyone see an ugly, brown van out there?
Valkyrie : Yes, but you're not gonna like where it's parked.
Iron Man : Scott, how long you need to get that thing working?
Ant-Man : [as Wasp joins him] Uh, maybe ten minutes.
Captain America : Get it started. We'll get the stones to you!
The Wasp : We're on it, Cap.
[she and Scott share a smile before shrinking and flying off]
-
Howard Stark : Let me ask you a question. When your kid was born... were you nervous?
Tony Stark : Wildly. Yeah.
Howard Stark : Did you feel qualified? Like you had any idea how to successfully operate that thing?
Tony Stark : I literally pieced it together as I went along, I thought about what my Dad did, and... My old man, he never met a problem he couldn't solve with a belt. I thought my dad was tough on me. And now, looking back, I just remember the good stuff, you know. He did drop the odd pearl.
Howard Stark : Yeah? Like what?
Tony Stark : "No amount of money ever bought a second of time."
Howard Stark : Smart guy.
Tony Stark : He did his best.
Howard Stark : Let me tell you. That kid's not even here yet, and there's nothing I wouldn't do for him. Good to meet you, Potts.
Tony Stark : Yeah, Howard... Everything's gonna be all right. Thank you for everything you've done for this country.
-
Tony Stark : Thumbelina, do you copy? I've got eyes on the prize. It is go-time.
Ant-Man : Bombs away.
[Sliding down to Tonys' Arc Reactor]
Ant-Man : Is... is that Axe body spray?
Tony Stark : Yeah, I had a can just for emergencies. Relax. Can we focus, please?
Ant-Man : I'm going inside you. Now.
-
Tony Stark : Hey, you said one out of fourteen million, we win, right? Tell me this is it.
Doctor Strange : If I tell you what happens, it won't happen.
Tony Stark : You better be right.
-
Tony Stark : [after returning to Earth] I couldn't stop him.
Steve Rogers : Neither could I.
Tony Stark : I lost the kid.
Steve Rogers : Tony, *we* lost.
Tony Stark : Is, uh-?
[Pepper walks in front of him]
Tony Stark : Oh, good.
Pepper Potts : Oh, my god.
[she hugs him]
Pepper Potts : Oh, my god.
Tony Stark : [kisses her] It's alright.
-
Ant-Man : [asking about the past STRIKE team] Who are these guys?
Tony Stark : They are S.H.I.E.L.D. Well, actually HYDRA, but we didn't know that yet.
Ant-Man : Seriously? You didn't? I mean, they look like bad guys.
Tony Stark : You're small, but you're talking loud?
-
Tony Stark : [discussing Natasha's death] Do we know if she had family?
Steve Rogers : Yeah. Us.
-
Tony Stark : [putting Morgan to bed] Not that it's a competition, but she loves me 3,000.
Pepper Potts : Oh, does she, now?
Tony Stark : You were somewhere in the low 6 to 900 range.
-
Tony Stark : Whatcha reading?
Pepper Potts : Just a book on composting.
Tony Stark : What's new with composting?
Pepper Potts : Interesting science...
Tony Stark : I figured it out. By the way.
Pepper Potts : And, you know, just so we're talking about the same thing...
Tony Stark : Time travel.
Pepper Potts : What? Wow. That's... amazing, and terrifying.
-
Alexander Pierce : May I ask where you where you're going?
Thor : Bit of lunch and then Asgard. I'm sorry, you are...?
Tony Stark : Alexander Pierce. He's the man above the folks behind Nick Fury.
Thor : Oh.
Alexander Pierce : My friends call me Mr. Secretary. I'm gonna have to ask you to turn that prisoner over to me.
Thor : Uh, Loki will be answering to Odin himself.
Alexander Pierce : No, he's gonna answer to us. Odin can have what's left. And I'm gonna need that case. That's been S.H.I.E.L.D. property for over 70 years.
Tony Stark : [Future Tony, to Ant-Man] All right, move it, Stuart Little. Things are getting dicey out here. Let's go.
-
Tony Stark : We got a shot at getting these stones, but I gotta tell you my priorities. Bring back what we lost, I hope, yes. Keep what I found, I have to, at all costs. And maybe not die trying would be nice.
Steve Rogers : [offering a handshake] Sounds like a deal.
-
Ant-Man : You promise me you won't die?
Tony Stark : We're only giving me a mild cardiac dysrhythmia.
Ant-Man : That doesn't sound mild.
-
Natasha Romanoff : That Time Stone guy.
Bruce Banner : Doctor Strange.
Natasha Romanoff : Yeah, what... what kind of doctor was he?
Tony Stark : Ear/nose/throat meets rabbit-from-hat.
-
Morgan Stark : Mommy told me to come and save you.
Tony Stark : Good job. I'm saved.
[to Scott and the others]
Tony Stark : I wish you were coming here to ask me something else. Anything else. I'm honestly happy to see you guys. I just... oh, and look, the table's set for six.
Steve Rogers : Tony. I get it. And I'm happy for you. I really am. But this is a second chance.
Tony Stark : I got my second chance right here, Cap. Can't roll the dice on it. If you don't talk shop, you can stay for lunch.
-
Scott Lang : You never wanted a time heist. You... you weren't on board with the time heist.
Tony Stark : I dropped the ball.
Scott Lang : You ruined the time heist.
Tony Stark : Is that what I did?
Scott Lang : Yeah.
-
Steve Rogers : What are you doing here?
Tony Stark : It's the EPR Paradox. Instead of pushing Lang through time, you might've wound up pushing time through Lang. It's tricky, dangerous. Somebody could have cautioned you against it.
Steve Rogers : You did.
Tony Stark : Oh, did I? Well, thank God I'm here.
-
Tony Stark : I just want peace. It turns out resentment is corrosive, and I hate it.
Steve Rogers : Me too.
-
Tony Stark : Part of the journey is the end.
-
Steve Rogers : Are there any other options with the Tesseract?
Scott Lang : No, no, no, there's no other options. There's no do-overs. We're not going anywhere else. We have one particle left. Each. That's it. All right? We use that... bye-bye, you're not going home.
Steve Rogers : Yeah, well, if we don't try... then no one else is going home, either.
Tony Stark : [getting an idea] I got it. There's another way to re-take the Tesseract and acquire new particles. Little stroll down memory lane. Military installation, Garden State.
Steve Rogers : [getting it] When were they both there?
Tony Stark : They were there at a time... I have a vaguely exact idea.
Steve Rogers : How vague?
Scott Lang : What are you talking about? What are we... where are we going?
Tony Stark : I know for a fact they were there.
Scott Lang : Who's "they"? What are we doing?
Tony Stark : And I know how I know.
Scott Lang : Guys, what's the... what is it?
Steve Rogers : Well, it looks like we're improvising.
Tony Stark : Great.
Scott Lang : What are we improvising?
-
Tony Stark : [Pulls up in his car and rolls down the window] Why the long face? Let me guess, he turned into a baby.
Steve Rogers : Among other things yeah. What are you doing here?
Tony Stark : It's the EPR Paradox. Instead of pushing Lang through time, you might have wound up pushing time through Lang. It's dangerous, tricky. Somebody could've cautioned you against it.
Steve Rogers : You did.
Tony Stark : [sarcastically] Oh did I? Well, thank god I'm here. Regardless, I've fixed it. A fully functioning time-space GPS. I just want peace. Turns out resentment is corrosive and I hate it.
Steve Rogers : Me too.
Tony Stark : We got a shot at getting these stones, but I gotta tell you my priorities. Bring back what we lost, I hope, yes. Keep what I found, I have to at all costs. And maybe not die trying would be nice.
Steve Rogers : [Offering his hand] Sounds like a deal.
Steve Rogers : [Shakes Tony's hand and he gives him back his shield] Tony, I don't know.
Tony Stark : Why? He made it for you. Plus, honestly I have to get it out of the garage before Morgan takes it sledding.
Steve Rogers : Thank you, Tony.
Tony Stark : Will you keep that a little quiet? Didn't bring one for the whole team. We are getting an old team, yeah?
Steve Rogers : We're working on that right now.
