Tony Stark: I feel like you're driving me to court martial. This is crazy. What did I do? I feel like you're gonna pull over and snuff me. What, you're not allowed to talk? Hey, Forest...
Jimmy: We can talk, sir.
Tony Stark: Oh, I see. So it's personal. All right.
Ramirez: You intimidate them, sir.
Tony Stark: Good god, you're a woman! I honestly couldn't have called that. I mean, I would apologize, but isn't that what we're going for here? I thought of you as a soldier first.
Ramirez: I'm an airman.
Tony Stark: Well you actually have excellent bone structure there. I'm having a hard time not looking at you now. Is that weird?
Tony Stark: [to extinguisher robot.] Please don't follow me around with it either, because I feel like I'm going to catch on fire spontaneously. Just stand down. If something happens, then come in.
Tony Stark: You stood by my side all these years while I reaped the benefits of destruction. Now that I'm trying to protect the people I've put in harm's way, you're going to walk out?
Virginia 'Pepper' Potts: You're going to kill yourself, Tony. I'm not going to be a part of it.
Tony Stark: I shouldn't be alive, unless it was for a reason. I'm not crazy, Pepper. I just finally know what I have to do. And I know in my heart that it's right.
Tony Stark: Pepper, I've been called many things. Nostalgic is not one of them.
Tony Stark: Hmmm. Your eyes are red. Tears for your long lost boss?
Virginia 'Pepper' Potts: Tears of joy, maybe. I hate job hunting.
Tony Stark: Yeah, well, vacation's over.
Tony Stark: Remember that night?
Pepper Potts: What night? Oh, the night where we danced and went up to the roof and you went down to get me a drink and you left me up there?
Tony Stark: Uh-huh.
[Tony Stark is getting his picture taken with an army guy and the army guy makes a peace sign with his fingers.]
Tony Stark: Peace. Yeah, I love peace. I'd be out of a job with peace.
Yinsen: That could run your heart for fifty lifetimes!
Tony Stark: Yeah... Or something big for fifteen minutes.
Christine Everheart: Have you ever lost an hour of sleep your whole life?
Tony Stark: I'd be prepared to lose a few with you.
Yinsen: That doesn't look like a missile... What are you building, Stark?
Tony Stark: I'm working on something big.
Tony Stark: No one's allowed to talk, is that it? You're not allowed to talk?
Driver: No, you intimidate them.
Tony Stark: Good God! You're a woman!
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.
Chosen answer: It was basically a prototype made from, to quote Stane, "a box of scraps." It was not strong enough to last, especially when it came to powering Tony's high tech armor armor upgrades.
