Iron Man 3 Quotes

Tony If he's right about the location, we're 20 minutes from where Pepper is.

Rhodey But we also have to figure out this Vice President thing.

Tony Right. I wonder who I'm calling right now. Oh! That's the Vice President.

Rodriguez Hello?

Tony Sir, this is Tony Stark.

Rodriguez Welcome back to the land of the living!

Tony We believe you're about to be drawn into the Mandarin campaign. We gotta get you somewhere safe as soon as possible.

Rodriguez Mr. Stark, I'm about to eat honey-roast ham surrounded by the Agency's finest. The President is safe on Air Force One with Colonel Rhodes. I think we're good here.

Rhodey Sir, this is Colonel Rhodes! They're using the Iron Patriot as a Trojan Horse. They're gonna take out the President somehow. We have to immediately alert that plane!

Rodriguez OK, I'm on it. I'll have security lock it down. If need be, they can have F-22s in the air in thirty seconds. Thank you, Colonel.

Rhodey Rhodes and Stark out.

Secret Service Agent Everything OK, sir?

Rodriguez Couldn't be better.

Rodriguez Love you, babe.

Tony Stark Where are your parents?

Stark Which happens. Dads leave. No need to be a pussy about it.

Savin Hey, kid! What would you like for Christmas?

Harley Mr. Stark, I am so sorry.

Savin Nope. I think he was trying to say, "I want my goddamn file.

Tony You know, and thank you, by the way, for listening. But something about just getting it off my chest and putting it out there in the atmosphere instead of holding this in. I mean, this is what gets people sick, you know. Wow. I had no idea you were such a good listener. To be able to share all my intimate thoughts, my experiences with someone, it just cuts the weight of it in half, you know. It's like a snake swallowing its own tail. Everything comes full circle. And - and the fact that you've been able to help me process...

Bruce So?

Tony You with me?

Bruce I was, yeah. Where - we were at, uh -

Tony Actively napping?

Bruce I - I was - I - I - I drifted.

Tony Where did I lose you?

Bruce Elevator in Switzerland.

Tony So you heard none of it?

Bruce I'm sorry. I'm not that kind of doctor. I'm not a therapist. It's not my training.

Tony So?

Tony What? The time?

Bruce Temperament.

Colonel James Rhodes This is the Mandarin?

Tony Stark I know, right? It's embarrassing!

Tony Stark You walked right into this one: I've dated hotter chicks than you.

Ellen Brandt Is that all you've got? A cheap trick and a cheesy one-liner?

Stark Sweetheart, that could be the name of my autobiography!

Tony Stark A famous man once said, "We create our own demons." Who said that? What does that even mean? Didn't matter. I said it cause he said it. So now, he was famous and it was basically said by two well-known guys. I don't... uhh... I'm gonna start again. Let's track this from the beginning

Harley You're a mechanic, right?

Tony Right.

Harley You said so.

Tony Yes, I did.

Harley Why don't you just build something?

Tony Okay. Thanks, kid.

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!!!!

Tony Stark And so, as Christmas morning began, my journey was at its end. You start with something pure. Something exciting. Then come the mistakes, the compromises. We create our own demons. As promised, I got Pepper sorted out. Took a little tinkering. But then I thought "why stop there?" Of course there are people who say progress is dangerous, but then I bet none of those idiots ever had to live with a chest full of shrapnel. And now, neither will I. Let me tell you: that was the best sleep I'd had in years. So if I were to wrap this up tight with a bow or whatever, I guess I'd say my armor, it was never a distraction or a hobby, it was a cocoon. And now, I'm a changed man. You can take away my house, all my tricks and toys. One thing you can't take away...I am Iron Man.
