Confronting Loneliness and Inner Darkness
Yelena I understand. We all feel like shit sometimes. And loneliness? I get that. I get it. And that darkness gets pretty inticing. And then it starts to feel a little bit like...
Bob A void.
Yelena ...Yep. A void.
Bob What do you do about it?
Yelena ...You shove it way down. You just...push it down.
Bob That's great. That's really good advice.
Yelena You're welcome.
Finding Strength in Togetherness
Yelena You came for us. What did you see? Are you okay?
Bucky Oh I'm fine. I've got a great past, so I'm totally fine.
[sarcastically]
Walker Yeah this place is messed up.
Alexei We're here together. That's what matters.
Reflections on Life and Mortality
Ava So, that woman back there that I... You knew her?

Walker ...Okay it's an incinerator.

Ava And what did you do exactly? Because I seem to remember you getting your ass beat way worse than mine.
Yelena Yeah! Yeah! I suck! I'm terrible! We're all terrible! Ava, you're not a hero! You're not even a good person!
Ava ...Bitch.
Yelena See?
Alexei Slowdown, Um-nichka-
Yelena Alexei I am not your um-nichka! I haven't heard from you or seen you in a year!
Walker Okay, go easy on him-

Yelena No, you know you're a piece of trash Walker. So does your family.
Walker Jesus.
Yelena We're all losers. And we lost.
Confronting the Past: A Tense Exchange
Walker Okay, well look at the facts. The infamous Ghost, a S.H.I.E.L.D. reject on the run from 15 nations? The dead one over there, she destroyed half of Budapest.
Yelena Don't talk about her like that-
Walker -And you. A former Red Room assassin. God only knows the blood on your hands.
[referring to Yelena]
Ava Pretty ludicrous coming from the dime store Captain America.
Walker I'll have you know I was actually the official Captain America, so...
Yelena Yeah, for like two seconds.
[scoffs]
Ava Before you publicly murdered an innocent man on the streets. Do I have that right?
Walker Really? Define innocent. Hey look, I'm a decorated combat veteran. I have a loving wife and son. Let's be honest, you guys are just cheap mercenaries. So clearly I'm supposed to bring you in.
Yelena That was funny. Thank you, we needed that.
[chuckling]

Yelena What I said to you before was wrong, Bob. You can't stuff it down. You can't hold it in all alone. No one can. We have to let it out. We have to spend time together. And even if it doens't make the emptiness go away, I promise it will feel lighter.
[putting her hand on Bob's arm]
Bob How do you know?

Bob ...Okay.
[nodding slowly]

Ava Pardon me for the inconvenience. I mean, I only spent my entire life in labs hooked up to machines so I could create this physical cage to keep my material body from disintegrating at all times. So, yeah, I’m so sorry about that.
Yelena You do not want to start the whole sob story game. I win. Enslaved child assassin over here.
Walker Well, you were just a kid, so...

Walker I just think it might be nice to know that you didn't really know any better.
Yelena Thanks. I feel way better.
[sarcastically]

Bob You said you were Captain America?
[chuckling]
Walker ...Why are you laughing?
Bob Just, cause you're an asshole.
[still chuckling]

Yelena Wow. When I was five I was on a peewee soccer team called the West Chesapeake Valley Thunderbolts, sponsored by Shane's Tire Shop. We won zero games and one time, this girl Mindy, she did a poo at midfield! Anyone else have any pointless childhood stories to tell?
[sarcastically]
Ava Grew up in a lab prison.
Bob Meth addicted sign-twirling chicken. It was a summer job.
A Complicated Reunion Amidst Loss and Regret
Yelena I lost my sister again, but forever! And you disappeared!
Alexei I'm sorry. I don't know how to do this. I'm not good at it. I didn't think you wanted me.
[speaks Russian]
Yelena I did!
Alexei I see that. I'm late, but I'm... I'm here now.
Yelena Daddy, I’m so alone. I don’t have anything anymore. All I do is sit, and look at my phone, and think of all the terrible things that I’ve done; and then I go to work, and then I drink, come home to no-one, and I sit and think about all the terrible things I’ve done again and again and I go crazy!
Alexei Yelena stop. Stop, we all have things that we regret.
Yelena No, but I have so many! My first test at the Red Room... Anya, she was just a child, she was so small...
Alexei So were you. I know; I know they were dark times -- very, very dark times, but... before, you were such a special little girl. Did you know this? You walked into room, you made it bright. You felt a lot of joy.
Yelena I don't remember that feeling.
Alexei You were so kind! You remember why you want to be goalie on your terrible soccer team?
Yelena It... So I didn't have to run as much.
Alexei No. Maybe that too, but you told me "I want to be the one everyone can rely on if they make a mistake". That Yelena is still in you. I still see her.
Yelena I don't...
Alexei You're stuck, you're alone, you look only at the bed. When I look at you, I don't see your mistakes. That's why we need each other.
Yelena ...'kay, that was really good.
