Robert Downey Jr.: Tony Stark

Iron Man 3

Tony Stark

Jarvis: Mark 42 inbound.
[Stark sees the MK42 armor flying toward the battlefield]
Tony Stark: I'll be damned. The prodigal son returns.
[Stark summons Mark 42 to come to him, but it hits a pole and breaks into pieces]
Tony Stark: Whatever.
Aldrich Killian: You really didn't deserve her, Tony. It's a pity. I was so close to having her... perfect.
[jumps down to confront Tony]
Tony Stark: OK, OK, wait, wait, slow down, slow down! You're right... I don't deserve her. Here's where you're wrong: she was already perfect.
[Stark summons the Mark 42 pieces to assemble on Killian and attach him against the wall]
Tony Stark: Jarvis, do me a favor and blow Mark 42.
Aldrich Killian: NOOO!
[the suit explodes]

Tony Stark: So, uhh, who's home?
Harley Keener: Well, my mom already left for the diner, and dad went to 7-Eleven to get scratchers... I guess he won, 'cause that was six years ago.
Tony Stark: Hmm... which happens, dads leave, no need to be a pussy about it, here's what I need...
[pauses]
Tony Stark: A laptop, a digital watch, a cell phone, the pneumatic actuator from your bazooka over there, a map of town, a big spring, and a tuna fish sandwich.
Harley Keener: What's in it for me?
Tony Stark: Salvation. What's his name?
Harley Keener: Who?
Tony Stark: The kid that bullies you at school. What's his name?
Harley Keener: How'd you know that?
Tony Stark: I got just the thing.
[Stark ejects a flare canister from one of Mark 42's panels]
Tony Stark: This is a piñata for a cricket. I'm kidding, it's a very powerful weapon. Point it away from your face, press the button on top. It discourages bullying. Non-lethal, just to cover one's ass. Deal. Deal? What'd you say?
[Stark tries to make Harley grab the canister]
Harley Keener: Deal.
[Stark gives Harley the canister]
Tony Stark: What's your name?
Harley Keener: Harley. And you're...
Tony Stark: The mechanic. Tony.
[pauses]
Tony Stark: You know what keeps going through my head? Where's my sandwich?

Harley Keener: Admit it, you need me. We're connected.
Tony Stark: What I need is for you to go home, be with your mom, keep your trap shut, guard the suit, and stay connected to the telephone, 'cause if I call you, you better pick up.
Tony Stark: [about to get in car] Can you feel that? We're done here. Move out of the way or I'm gonna run you over. Bye, kid.
[Tony gets in car, but Harley continues to stand next to it. Tony rolls down window]
Tony Stark: I'm sorry, kid, you did good.
Harley Keener: So you're just gonna leave me here? Like my dad?
[Tony pauses]
Tony Stark: [Casually] Yeah.
[Tony pauses again]
Tony Stark: Wait, you're guilt tripping me aren't you?
[Harley buries head in coat]
Harley Keener: [Innocently] I'm cold.
Tony Stark: [Mimicking Harley] I can tell. You know how I can tell?
Tony Stark: [Sarcastically] Cause' we're connected!
[Tony drives away]
Harley Keener: [Normal voice] It was worth a shot.

[Tony sets a fire in the diner's kitchen to keep out Brandt, she just walks right through it]
Tony Stark: You walked right into this one: I've dated hotter chicks than you.
Brandt: [scoffs] Is that all you've got? A cheap trick and a cheesy one-liner?
Tony Stark: Sweetheart, that could be the name of my autobiography.
[Tony ducks out the back as his hidden booby-trap blows up the kitchen, killing Brandt]

[last lines]
Tony Stark: [narrates] My armor 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, but one thing you can't take away - I am Iron Man.

[Tony tries to embrace Pepper]
Pepper Potts: Don't!
Tony Stark: It's okay...
Pepper Potts: I'm hot, I'll hurt you!
Tony Stark: [touches Pepper] No, you won't. See? Not hot.
Pepper Potts: Am I going to be okay?
Tony Stark: No. You're in a relationship with me, nothing will ever be okay. But I had this twenty years ago when I was drunk, I can sort it out. I fix stuff.

[from trailer]
Tony Stark: I'm Tony Stark. I build neat stuff, got a great girl, occasionally save the world. So why can't I sleep?

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!
[Pepper, glowing with Extremis, swats him away with a pole and looks at Tony, who thought she was dead]
Tony Stark: I got nothing.

Pepper Potts: Who's the hot mess now?
[a call-back to Tony's early statement to Pepper that he was a "piping hot mess."]
Tony Stark: That's debatable. But you look great like this, the repulsor and the sports bra...
Pepper Potts: I think I understand why you don't want to give up the suits. What have I got to complain about now?
Tony Stark: Well, it's me. You'll find something.

[Tony sees Maya for the first time since their one-night stand in Switzerland]
Tony Stark: Please don't tell me there's a 12-year-old kid in the car that I've never met.
Maya Hansen: He's 13.
[Tony cringes]
Maya Hansen: No! I need your help.

[first lines]
Tony Stark: [Narrates] A famous man once said, 'We create our own demons.' Who said that? What does that even mean? Doesn't matter. I said it 'cause he said it. So now, he was famous and that basically getting said by two well-known guys. I don't, uh... I'm gonna start again.
[pause]
Tony Stark: Let's track this from the beginning.

[Tony seals Pepper in the Mark 42 armor, then she saves him from falling debris]
Pepper Potts: I got you!
Tony Stark: I got you first!

Tony Stark: I'm gonna find a heavy-duty comm sat now, I need your login.
Colonel James Rhodes: It's same as it's always been, "WarMachine68."
Tony Stark: And a password, please.
Colonel James Rhodes: Well, look, I gotta change it every time you hack in, Tony.
Tony Stark: It's not the '80s, nobody says "hack" anymore. Give me your login.
Colonel James Rhodes: "WAR MACHINE ROX" with an "X," all caps.
Tony Stark: [laughs]
Colonel James Rhodes: Yeah, okay.
Tony Stark: That is so much better than "Iron Patriot."

Operator: Stark Secure Server: now transferring to all known receivers.
Tony Stark: Pepper, it's me. I've got a lot of apologies to make and not a lot of time, so... first off. I'm so sorry I put you in harm's way. That was selfish and stupid and it won't happen again. Also, it's Christmas time. The rabbit's too big. Done. Sorry. And I'm sorry in advance because... I can't come home yet.
[pauses]
Tony Stark: I need to find this guy. You gotta stay safe. That's all I know. I just stole a poncho from a wooden Indian.

[from trailer]
Tony Stark: [to Pepper] Things are different now, I have to protect the one thing that I can't live without. That's you.
