• Yelena Belova : [about Natasha]  Such a poser.

• Natasha Romanoff : Here's what's going to happen.

  Melina Vostokoff : Natasha, don't slouch!

  Natasha Romanoff : I'm not slouching!

  Melina Vostokoff : You're going to get a back hunch.

  Alexei Shostakov : Listen to your mother.

  Natasha Romanoff : Oh my God, this...

  Alexei Shostakov : Up, up!

  Natasha Romanoff : All right, enough! All of you!

  Yelena Belova : I didn't say anything, that's not fair!

• Alexei Shostakov : Why the aggression, huh? Is it your time of the month?

  Yelena Belova : I don't get my period, dipshit. I don't have a uterus.

  Natasha Romanoff : Or ovaries.

  Yelena Belova : That's what happens when the Red Room gives you an involuntarily hysterectomy. They kinda just go in and rip out all your reproductive organs. They just get right in there and chop them all away. So you can't have babies.

  Alexei Shostakov : OK, OK, you don't have to get so clinical and nasty!

  Yelena Belova : I was just going to talk about fallopian tubes...

• Yelena Belova : [to Natasha]  Great plan. I love the part where I almost bled to death.

• Yelena Belova : Okay, you got a plan, or shall I just stay, duck, and cover?

  Natasha Romanoff : My plan was to drive us away!

  Yelena Belova : It's a shit plan.

• Yelena Belova : Why do you always do that thing?

  Natasha Romanoff : What thing?

  Yelena Belova : That thing you do when you're fighting. The... like... the thing you do...

  Yelena Belova : [gets down to the floor to strike a pose and whips her head back and forth] 

  Yelena Belova : When you whip your hair when you're fighting and you do like a fighting pose. It's a fighting pose. You're a total poser.

  Natasha Romanoff : I'm not a poser.

  Yelena Belova : Ha ha! I mean they are great poses but it does look like you think everyone's looking at you, like all the time.

  Natasha Romanoff : All that time that I spent posing, I was actually trying to do something good. To make up for all the pain and suffering that we caused. Trying to be more than just a trained killer.

  Yelena Belova : Well, then you were fooling yourself. Because pain and suffering is every day and we are both still a trained killer. Except I'm not the one who's on the cover of a magazine. I'm not the killer little girls call their hero.

• Natasha Romanoff : How many others are there?

  Yelena Belova : Enough.

• Yelena Belova : You were my real mother. The closest thing I ever had to one. The best part of my life was fake. And none of you told me.

• Yelena Belova : [to Natasha]  I've never had control over my own life before, and now I do. I want to do things.

• Yelena Belova : [to Natasha]  Pain and suffering is every day and we are both still a trained killer. Except I'm not the one that's on the cover of a magazine.

• Natasha Romanoff : I'm just finding it hard to believe he could stay off my radar.

  Yelena Belova : Well it's not smart to attack an Avenger if you want to stay hidden. I mean the clue is in the name. Dreykov kills you and one of the big ones comes to avenge you.

  Natasha Romanoff : Wait, what are the big ones?

  Yelena Belova : Well I doubt that the god from space has to take an ibuprofen after a fight.

• Yelena Belova : [to Natasha]  The truth rarely makes sense when you omit key details.

• Alexei Shostakov : Never family, huh? In my heart, I am simple man. And I think that for a couple deep undercover Russian agents I think we did pretty great as parents, huh?

  Melina Vostokoff : Yes, we had our orders, and we played our roles to perfection.

  Natasha Romanoff : Who cares? That wasn't real.

  Yelena Belova : What?

  Natasha Romanoff : That wasn't real. Who cares?

  Yelena Belova : Don't say that. Please don't say that. It was real. It was real to me. You are my mother. You were my real mother. The closest thing I ever had to one. The best part of my life was fake. And none of you told me.

• Yelena Belova : You know, this is the first piece of clothing I've ever bought for myself.

  Natasha Romanoff : That?

  Yelena Belova : Yeah. You don't like it?

  Natasha Romanoff : Is that like a... Is it army surplus, or...

  Yelena Belova : Okay, it has a lot of pockets. But I use them all the time, and I made some of my own modifications.

  Natasha Romanoff : Oh, yeah? Whatever.

  Yelena Belova : Shut up. The point is, I've never... I've never had control over my own life before, and now I do. I want to do things.

  Natasha Romanoff : I like your vest.

  Yelena Belova : I knew it. I knew you did. It's so cool, right?

  Natasha Romanoff : It's good. Yes. I like it.

  Yelena Belova : And you can put so much stuff in there. You wouldn't even know.

• Natasha Romanoff : You can't just steal a guy's car.

  Yelena Belova : So you want me to chase him down and un-steal it?

• Yelena Belova : [performing Natasha's signature pose]  That was disgusting.

• Natasha Romanoff : Put your seat belt on.

  Yelena Belova : You're such a mom.

• Melina Vostokoff : Yelena, slight change of plan. I completely demolished one of the engines and we are going into a controlled crash.

  Yelena Belova : Fantastic.

• Yelena Belova : Where are my keys?

  [Natasha produces them by juggling them in the air] 

  Yelena Belova : [in Russian]  Ah, bitch.

• Yelena Belova : I know you're out there.

  Natasha Romanoff : I know you know I'm out here.

  Yelena Belova : Then why are you skulking about like it's a minefield?

  Natasha Romanoff : 'Cause I don't know if I can trust you.

  Yelena Belova : Funny, I was going to say the same thing.

  Natasha Romanoff : So, we gonna talk like grown-ups?

  Yelena Belova : Is that what we are?

• Alexei Shostakov : So, there I am ice fishing with my father. It's very cold day in this little ice shed. Cold even for Russia, you know? Keep the vodka by the fire, my father would say to me.

  Yelena Belova : Please stop talking.

  Alexei Shostakov : Please wait. Please wait.

  Yelena Belova : Please, no. Please, I don't want to talk.

  Alexei Shostakov : Please. Please. There is a reason why I'm telling you this, okay? Trust me. I am reaching for fish. Oh! I lose balance. Ah! Splash! My hands go in the river. In this weather, frostbite sets in quick. My father, he go toilet on my hands.

  Yelena Belova : Oh, my God.

  Alexei Shostakov : Urine is 35 degrees Celsius, staves off the frostbite.

  Yelena Belova : How is this relevant?

  Alexei Shostakov : You know, fathers.

• [post-credit scene] 

  Yelena Belova : I want a raise.

  Valentina Allegra de Fontaine : Oh, yeah. You and me both. Believe me, you're gonna earn it. I've got your next target. Thought I'd hand-deliver it. Maybe you'd like a shot at the man responsible for your sister's death.

  [Valentina hands Yelena a photo of Clint Barton] 

  Valentina Allegra de Fontaine : Kind of a cutie, don't you think?

• Alexei Shostakov : You should've brought the Avengers' superjet.

  Yelena Belova : I swear, if I hear one more word from him, I will kick him in the face.

  Natasha Romanoff : He's the worst.

• Yelena Belova : [Natasha backs her car into another during a chase scene]  Any time now!

  Natasha Romanoff : Oh shut up!

• Yelena Belova : [up in the helicopter, their father says everything that shouldn't be said]  Ah, Natasha, can we throw him out the window now?

  Natasha Romanoff : I think we should wait till we get to a higher altitude.

• Yelena Belova : Where's an Avenger when you need one?

• Yelena Belova : To him, we are just things. Weapons with no face that he can just throw away. Because there is always more.

• Natasha Romanoff : Who the hell is that guy?

  Yelena Belova : Dreykov's special project. He can mimic anyone he's ever seen. It's like fighting a mirror.

• Natasha Romanoff : I thought you didn't wanna see me.

  Yelena Belova : Bullshit. You just didn't want your baby sister to tag along, whilst you saved the world with the cool kids.

  Natasha Romanoff : You weren't really my sister.

  Yelena Belova : And the Avengers aren't really your family.

• Alexei Shostakov : Did he talk to you about me? You know, trading war stories?

  Natasha Romanoff : Who? What are you talking about?

  Alexei Shostakov : Captain America. My great adversary in this theater of geopolitical conflict. Not so much a nemesis. More like a contemporary, you know? Coequal. You know, I always thought there was a great deal of mutual respect.

  Natasha Romanoff : Wait. You haven't seen either one of us in 20 years and you're gonna ask me about you?

  Alexei Shostakov : What is with this tension? Did I do something wrong?

  Yelena Belova : Is that a serious question?

  Alexei Shostakov : I only ever loved you girls. I did my best to make sure you would succeed to achieve your fullest potential - and everything worked out.

  Natasha Romanoff : Everything worked out?

  Alexei Shostakov : Yes! For you, yes. We accomplished our mission in Ohio. Yelena, you went on to become the greatest child assassin the world has ever known. No one can match your efficiency, your ruthlessness. And Natasha, not just a spy, not just toppling regimes, destroying empires from within, but an *Avenger*. You both have killed so many people. Your ledgers must be dripping, just gushing red. I couldn't be more proud of you.

• Yelena Belova : [to Alexei]  Let go of me now. You smell really bad.

• Yelena Belova : Those agents you chemically subjugated around the globe? That was me.

• Yelena Belova : The only thing you care about are your stupid glory days as the Crimson Dynamo - and no one wants to hear about it.

  Alexei Shostakov : It's the Red Guardian.

  Yelena Belova : Get out. Get out!

• Yelena Belova : You can't just steal a guy's car.

  Natasha Romanoff : So you want me to chase him down and un-steal it?
