[Pepper catches him in Iron Man suit.]

Virginia 'Pepper' Potts: What's going on here?

Tony Stark: Let's face it, this is not the worst thing you've ever caught me doing.

Tony Stark: Damn right I'm not. I'm an army.

Christine Everheart: Tony Stark! Christine Everheart, Vanity Fair magazine

Tony Stark: Hi, yeah okay, go.

Christine Everheart: Mr. Stark, you've been called the Da Vinci of our time; what do you say to that?

Tony Stark: Absolutely ridiculous, I don't paint.

Christine Everheart: What do you say to your other nickname, the 'Merchant of Death'?

Tony Stark: That's not bad.

Tony Stark: They say the best weapon is one you never have to fire. I prefer the weapon you only need to fire once. That's how dad did it, that's how America does it, and it's worked out pretty well so far.
