Best Iron Man movie quotes
Tony Stark – “You got a family?”
Yinsen – “Yes, and I will see them when I leave here. And you, Stark?”
Tony Stark – “No.”
Yinsen – “So, you’re a man who has everything… and nothing.”
Iron Man (2008)
__
Tony Stark – “I told you I don’t want to join your super-secret boy band.”
Iron Man 2 (2010)
__
Loki – “The Chitauri are coming. Nothing will change that. What have I to fear?”
Tony Stark – “The Avengers. That’s what we call ourselves; we’re sort of like a team. “Earth’s Mightiest Heroes” type thing.”
Loki – “Yes, I’ve met them.”
Tony Stark – “Yeah, takes us a while to get any traction, I’ll give you that one. But let’s do a head count here: your brother the demi-god; a super soldier, a living legend who kind of lives up to the legend; a man with breath-taking anger management issues; a couple of master assassins, and YOU, big fella, you’ve managed to piss off every single one of them.”
Loki – “That was the plan.”
Tony Stark – “Not a great plan. When they come, and they WILL, they’ll come for you.”
Loki – “I have an army.”
Tony Stark – “We have a Hulk.”
Loki – “I thought the beast had wandered off…”
Tony Stark – “You’re missing the point! There’s no throne, there is no version of this where you come out on top. Maybe your army comes and maybe it’s too much for us but it’s all on you. Because if we can’t protect the Earth, you can be damned well sure we’ll avenge it!”
The Avengers (2012)
__
Tony Stark – “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 – “Mr. Stark! What happened over there?”
Tony Stark – “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.”
Iron Man (2008)
__
Steve Rogers – “Big man in a suit of armour. Take that off, what are you?”
Tony Stark – “Genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist.”
The Avengers (2012)
__
Tony Stark – “Iron Man. That’s kind of catchy. It’s got a nice ring to it. I mean it’s not technically accurate. The suit’s a gold titanium alloy, but it’s kind of provocative, the imagery anyway.”
Iron Man (2008)
__
Tony Stark – “So, you’re the Spiderling. Crime-fighting Spider. You’re Spider-Boy?”
Peter Parker – “S-Spider-Man.”

Captain America: Civil War (2016)
__

Iron Man 2 (2010)
__
Peter Parker – “So, to become an Avenger, is there like trials or an interview?”
Tony Stark – “Just don’t do anything I *would* do.”
Tony Stark – “And definitely don’t do anything I wouldn’t do.”
Tony Stark – “There’s a little grey area in there and that’s where you operate.”
Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017)
__
Tony Stark – “Nothing’s been the same since New York.”
Pepper Potts – “Oh, really? I didn’t notice that at all.”
Tony Stark – “You experience things and then they’re over, and you still can’t explain them. Gods, aliens, other dimensions. I’m just a man in a can. The only reason I haven’t cracked up is probably because you moved in. Which is great. I love you. I’m lucky. But honey, I can’t sleep. You go to bed, I come down here. I do what I know. I tinker. I… Threat is imminent. And I have to protect the one thing that I can’t live without. That’s you. And my suits, they’re, uh… Machines. They’re part of me.”

Pepper Potts – “I didn’t know that either.”
Tony Stark – “Apparently I’m volatile, self-obsessed, and don’t play well with others.”
Pepper Potts – “That I did know.”
The Avengers (2012)
__
Yinsen – “Did you see that? Those are YOUR weapons… in the hands of those murderers! Is this what you want? Is this what you wish the legacy of the great Tony Stark to be?”
Tony Stark – “I shouldn’t do anything. They could kill you, they’re gonna kill me, either way, and even if they don’t, I’ll probably be dead in a week.”
Yinsen – “Then this is a very important week for you, isn’t it?”
Iron Man (2008)

Tony Stark – “Speaking of thieves, where’d you get this design? You look like you have friends in low places.”
Ivan Vanko – “My father, Anton Vanko.”
Tony Stark – “Never heard of him.”
Ivan Vanko – “My father is the reason you’re alive.”
Tony Stark – “No, the reason I’m alive is because you made a shot, and you missed.”
Ivan Vanko – “If you could make God bleed, people would cease to believe in Him. There will be blood in the water, the sharks will come. All I have to do is sit back and watch as the world consumes you.”
Tony Stark – “Where will you be watching the world consume me from? Oh, that’s right, a prison cell. I’ll send you a bar of soap.”

Yinsen – “My family is dead, Stark… and I’m going to see them now. It’s okay, I want this… I want this.”
Tony Stark – “Thank you for saving me.”
Yinsen – “Don’t waste it… don’t waste your life, Stark.”
Iron Man (2008)
__
Tony Stark – “Everybody wants a happy ending. Right? But it doesn’t always roll that way. Maybe this time. I’m hoping if you play this back, it’s in celebration. I hope families are reunited, I hope we get it back and something like a normal version of the planet has been restored, if there ever was such a thing. God, what a world. Universe, now. If you told me ten years ago that we weren’t alone, let alone, you know, to this extent, I mean, I wouldn’t have been surprised, but come on. The epic forces of dark and light that have come in to play. And for better or worse, that’s the reality Morgan’s gonna have to find a way to grow up in. So, I thought I better record a little greeting, in the case of an untimely death, on my part. I mean, not that death at any time isn’t untimely. This time travel thing we’re gonna try and pull off tomorrow, it’s got me scratching my head about the survivability of it all. Then again that’s the hero gig. Part of the journey is the end. What am I even tripping for? Everything’s gonna workout exactly the way it’s supposed to.”

Tony Stark – “I’m not saying I’m responsible for this country’s longest run of uninterrupted peace in 35 years! I’m not saying that from the ashes of captivity, never has a Phoenix metaphor been more personified! I’m not saying Uncle Sam can kick back on a lawn chair, sipping on an iced tea, because I haven’t come across anyone man enough to go toe to toe with me on my best day! It’s not about me. It’s not about you, either. It’s about legacy, the legacy left behind for future generations. It’s not about us!”
Iron Man 2 (2010)
__
Tony Stark – “Here’s a little Holiday greeting I’ve been wanting to send to the Mandarin. I just didn’t know how to phrase it until now. My name is Tony Stark and I’m not afraid of you. I know you’re a coward, so I decided… that you just died, pal. I’m gonna come get the body. There’s no politics here, it’s just good old-fashioned revenge. There’s no Pentagon. It’s just you and me. And on the off-chance you’re a man, here’s my home address: 10880 Malibu Point, 90265. I’ll leave the door unlocked. That’s what you wanted, right?”
Iron Man 3 (2013)

Christine Everheart – “I’m sorry, Mr. Stark, but do you honestly expect us to believe that that was a bodyguard in a suit that conveniently appeared, despite the fact that…”
Tony Stark – “I know that it’s confusing. It is one thing to question the official story, and another thing entirely to make wild accusations, or insinuate that I’m a superhero.”
Christine Everheart – “I never said you were a superhero.”
Tony Stark – “Didn’t?”
Christine Everheart – “Mmm-mmm.”
