Pepper Potts: Acknowledgment and Assistance
Pepper Potts I have your clothes here; they've been dry-cleaned and pressed. And there's a car waiting for you outside that will take you anywhere you'd like to go.
Everheart You must be the famous Pepper Potts.
Pepper Indeed I am.
[smiling]
Everheart After all these years, Tony still has you picking up the dry cleaning.
Pepper I do anything and everything Mr. Stark requires. Including, occasionally, taking out the trash. Will that be all?

Tony Stark's Transformation and Accountability
Tony I never got to say goodbye to my father. There's questions I would've asked him. I would've asked him how he felt about what his company did, if he was conflicted, if he ever had doubts. Or maybe he was every inch of man we remember from the newsreels. I saw young Americans killed by the very weapons I created to defend them and protect them. And I saw that I had become part of a system that is comfortable with zero accountability.
Press Reporter #1 Mr. Stark, what happened over there?
Tony I had my eyes opened. I came to realize that I had more to offer this world than just making things that blow up. And that is why, effective immediately, I am shutting down the weapons manufacturing division of Stark Industries.

Design Choices and Discreetness in Iron Man
Tony A little ostentatious, don't you think?
J.A.R.V.I.S. What was I thinking? You're usually so discreet.

The Balance of Fear and Respect
Tony Stark / Iron Man Is it better to be feared or respected?" I say, is it too much to ask for both? With that in mind I humbly present you the crown jewel of Stark Industries Freedom Line. It's the first missile system to incorporate our proprietary Repulsor Technology. They say that the best weapon is one that you never have to fire. I respectfully disagree. I prefer the weapon you only have to fire once. That's how Dad did it, that's how ] does it…and it's worked out pretty well so far. Find an excuse to let one of these off the chain, and I personally guarantee you the bad guys won't even want to come out of their caves. For your consideration…the Jericho.
