Black Widow Best Movie Quotes – ‘Nothing lasts forever.’

Yelena Belova: Where did you think I was all this time?
Natasha Romanoff: I thought that you got out and were living a normal life.
Yelena Belova: And you just never made contact again?
Natasha Romanoff: Honestly, I thought you didn’t want to see me.
Yelena Belova: Bulls**t. 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.

Yelena Belova: You’re a total poser.
Natasha Romanoff: I’m not a poser.
Yelena Belova: Oh, come on. I mean, they’re 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 trying to actually 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 that’s on the cover of a magazine. I’m not the killer that little girls call their hero.

Yelena Belova: I killed the widow that freed me.
Natasha Romanoff: Did you have a choice?
Yelena Belova: What you experienced was psychological conditioning. I’m talking about chemically altering brain functions. They’re two completely different things. You’re fully conscious, but you don’t know which part is you. I’m still not sure.

Yelena Belova: They destroyed my birth certificate, so I reinvented it. My parents still live in Ohio. My sister moved out west.
Natasha Romanoff: Is that right?
Yelena Belova: You’re a science teacher. You’re working part-time though, especially after you had your son. Your husband, he renovates houses.
Natasha Romanoff: That is not my story.

Yelena Belova: What is your story?
Natasha Romanoff: I never let myself be alone long enough to think about it.
Yelena Belova: Did you ever wish for kids? I want a dog.

Natasha Romanoff: Where you going to go?
Yelena Belova: I don’t know. I don’t really have anywhere to go back to, so I guess anywhere.

Yelena Belova: Don’t.
Natasha Romanoff: Don’t what?
Yelena Belova: You’re going to give me some big hero speech, I can feel it.
Natasha Romanoff: Speeches aren’t really my thing.

Yelena Belova: [referring to finding the Red Room and kill Dreykov] That sounds like a s**tload of work.
Natasha Romanoff: Yep. Could be fun though.
Yelena Belova: Yep.

Yelena Belova: I’ve never had control over my own life before, and now I do. I want to do things.

Natasha Romanoff: I said we needed a jet.
Mason: Yeah, you know what you didn’t give me? Time. Or money. I’m not made of jets.

Yelena Belova: I thought you were supposed to be the best. Like a real pro.
Mason: Oh, I beg your pardon, tsarina. Was the free flat, and lifetime supply of kissel not to your liking?
Natasha Romanoff: Don’t let her wind you up.
Mason: No, I take exception to impugning my professionalism.
Natasha Romanoff: Well, you did set me up with a generator that crapped out after six hours.

Mason: I’m a private contractor.
Natasha Romanoff: You are sensitive.
Mason: You’re a very annoying individual.
Natasha Romanoff: I’ll make it up to you.
Mason: That’s what you say every time.

Alexei: Anyway, this shield, you know, that he carries with him like a precious baby blanket, you know? I use it to my advantage. I take it, I push him out the window. And I make my escape. Huh?
Ursa: What year was this?
Alexei: I don’t know. Like, ’83, ’84.
Ursa: Captain America was still frozen in ice then.
Alexei: Are you calling me a liar, Ursa, huh?

Yelena Belova: [referring to the avalanche] This would be a cool way to die.

Alexei: [after they break him out of prison] Oh, I’m so proud of you girls.

Alexei: Okay. Why the aggression, huh? Is it your time of the month?
Yelena Belova: I don’t get my period, dips**t. I don’t have a uterus.
Natasha Romanoff: Or ovaries.
Yelena Belova: Yeah. That’s what happens when the Red Room gives you an involuntary hysterectomy. They kind of just go in, and they rip out all of your reproductive organs. They just get right in there, and they chop them all away. Everything out, so you can’t have babies.
Alexei: Okay, okay. Okay! Okay! You don’t have to get so clinical and nasty.
Yelena Belova: Oh, well, I was about to talk about fallopian tubes, but, okay.

Alexei: It means so much to me that you came back for me.
Natasha Romanoff: No. No. You’re going to tell us how to get to the Red Room.
Alexei: Woh, look at you, huh? All business.
Natasha Romanoff: Trust me, this isn’t pleasure.

Alexei: Little Natasha, all indoctrinated into the Western agenda.
Natasha Romanoff: I chose to go west to become an Avenger. They treated me like family.
Alexei: Really? Family? Well, where are they now? Where is that family now?

Alexei: Soviet Union’s first, and only Super Soldier. I could have been more famous than Captain America. Then he buries me in Ohio on that stupid mission. Three years! So tedious, boring me to tears. No offense, huh? Then puts me in prison for the rest of my life. Why, huh? Why? Why would he put me in prison? You know why? Because maybe I want to talk about the withering of the state. Or maybe I don’t like his hair or something, and I say something casually about that. Maybe, you know, I want the Party to feel actually like a party instead of this sourpuss organization. But instead, no. He puts me in prison for the rest of my life. He just runs off and hides, huh?

Yelena Belova: Can we throw him out the window now?
Natasha Romanoff: I think we should wait till we get to a higher altitude.

Natasha Romanoff: [referring to Melina] We thought she was dead.
Alexei: You cannot kill a fox that swift.
Natasha Romanoff: Ew.

Alexei: You should’ve brought the Avengers superjet.
Yelena Belova: [to Natasha] I swear, if I hear one more word from him, I will kick him in the face.

Alexei: Did he talk to you about me? You know, trading war stories?
Natasha Romanoff: Who? What are you talking about?
Alexei: Captain America. My great adversary in this theater of geopolitical conflict. Not so much a nemesis. More like a contemporary, you know? Coequal. I always thought there was a great deal of mutual respect…
Natasha Romanoff: Wait. You haven’t seen either one of us in twenty years, and you’re going to ask me about you?

Alexei: What is with this tension? Did I do something wrong?
Yelena Belova: Is that a serious question?

Alexei: 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: 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.

Alexei: 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: [as he hugs both her and Natasha] Okay. You can let go of me now. You smell really bad.

Natasha Romanoff: Are there any booby traps around here? Anything we need to know about?
Melina: I didn’t raise my girls to fall in traps.
Natasha Romanoff: You didn’t raise us at all.
Melina: Oh, maybe so. But if you got soft, it wasn’t on my watch.

Alexei: [referring to his suit] Still fits.
Yelena Belova: Oh, my God.

Alexei: [at the dinner table] Family, back together again.
Melina: Seeing as our family construct was just a calculated ruse that only lasted three years, I don’t think that we can use this term anymore, can we?
Natasha Romanoff: Agreed. So, here’s what’s going to happen.
Alexei: Okay. A reunion then, huh?

Alexei: You haven’t aged a day, huh? You’re just as beautiful and as supple as the day they staged our marriage.
Melina: You got fat. But still good.
Alexei: I just got out of prison. I have a lot of energy.
Melina: Oh!
Natasha Romanoff: Please don’t do that.

Natasha Romanoff: So, here’s what’s going to happen.
Melina: Natasha, don’t slouch.
Natasha Romanoff: I’m not slouching.
Melina: Yes, yes, you are.
Natasha Romanoff: I don’t slouch.
Melina: You’re going to get a back hunch.
Alexei: Hm, listen to your mother.
Natasha Romanoff: Oh, my God! This…
Alexei: Up! Up!
Natasha Romanoff: Alright, enough! All of you!
Yelena Belova: I didn’t say anything. That’s not fair.

Melina: You know, it’s like when you told them that they could stay up late to catch Santa Claus.
Alexei: What? That was fun. You know, “He come down the chimney, girls. Look out. Where is he?” You wait for him, and then when the cookies are gone, then you see he’s there. No, no. What? I want them to follow their dreams.
Melina: No good.
Alexei: Reach for the stars, girls.
Natasha Romanoff: Finding Dreykov is not a fantasy. It’s unfinished business.

Alexei: Natasha, always focus, focus. Get what you want.

Natasha Romanoff: Did that pig just open the door?
Melina: Yes. It did. Good boy, Alexei. Good boy.
Alexei: You named a pig after me?
Melina: You don’t see the resemblance?

Natasha Romanoff: [to Alexei and Melina] You are an idiot. And you’re a coward. You’re a coward. And our family was never real, so there’s nothing to hold on to. We’re moving on.

Alexei: 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: Yes, we had our orders, and we played our roles to perfection.
Natasha Romanoff: Who cares? That wasn’t real.

Yelena Belova: 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. And those agents you chemically subjugated around the globe? That was me.

Melina: Where are you going?
Natasha Romanoff: To do this myself.
Melina: Don’t. You won’t survive.
Natasha Romanoff: Well, I wish I could believe that you cared. But you’re not even the first mother that abandoned me.
Melina: No, you weren’t abandoned.

Natasha Romanoff: I was taken?
Melina: I believe a bargain was struck, your family paid off. But your mother, she never stopped looking for you. She was like you in that way. She was relentless.

Natasha Romanoff: [referring to her mother] I thought about her every day of my life. Whether or not I admitted it to myself, I did.
Melina: I’ve always found it best not to look into the past.
Natasha Romanoff: [referring to their family photo album] Then why did you save this?

Natasha Romanoff: Why you doing this?
Melina: Why does a mouse born in a cage run on that little wheel? Do you know I was cycled through the Red Room four times before you were even born? Those walls are all I know. I was never given a choice.
Natasha Romanoff: But you’re not a mouse, Melina. You were just born in a cage, but that’s not your fault.

Melina: Tell me, how did you keep your heart?
Natasha Romanoff: Pain only makes us stronger. Didn’t you tell us that? What you taught me kept me alive.

Yelena Belova: You have done nothing but tell me how bored you were. I was the chore, the job you didn’t want to do. To me? To me, you were everything. Exactly. You don’t care. You don’t care. The only thing you care about are your stupid glory days as the Crimson Dynamo, and no one wants to hear about it.
Alexei: It’s the Red Guardian.
Yelena Belova: Get out.

Dreykov: So how was the family reunion?
Melina: Oh, it was awful. They were clingy, and too emotional, and needy.
Dreykov: Just like old times, huh?

Yelena Belova: [after being captured by Dreykov] This is a much less cool way to die.

Dreykov: She’s a traitor. She turned her back on her people. On her blood. She had nothing. I gave her home. I gave her love. Put that thing in her you do. You know, chemicals. Turn her into one of your pigs. Can you imagine what I could do with an Avenger under my control?
Melina: Wouldn’t you like to speak to her first?
Dreykov: When you look into the eyes of a child you have raised, no mask in the world can hide that.

Alexei: Natasha. I can’t save us. I need you to know that I’m sorry. I pledged my life to a cause. You know, I thought I was being very brave. Possibly the bravest. But I wasn’t being brave. I was coward.

Dreykov: Is this your plan?
Natasha Romanoff: My plan is to kill you.
Dreykov: I’m alive. So, what do we do now?

Alexei: Come on, now. If we’re just going to press buttons and hack computers. I mean, I don’t know. There’s nothing for me to do. I want to break something.
Melina: Oh, you do?
Alexei: [as Taskmaster finds them] Oh, there is something you can break.

Natasha Romanoff: When was the last time that you had a conversation with somebody that wasn’t forced to talk to you?
Dreykov: You ran away to fight in the wrong war. The real war was fought here, in the shadows.
Natasha Romanoff: You didn’t fight in the shadows. You hid in the dark.
Dreykov: Real power comes from undetectable influence.
Natasha Romanoff: If no one’s noticed, then why even do it? You’re nothing. You have nothing.

Dreykov: Don’t tell me to stop!
Natasha Romanoff: If I don’t tell you when to stop, then how will you know when to shut up?

Natasha Romanoff: [to Dreykov] You took my childhood. You took my choices, and tried to break me. But you’re never going to do that to anybody ever again.

Natasha Romanoff: [to the Widows] Get as far away from here as possible. You get to make your own choices now.

Natasha Romanoff: [in Russia] Forgive me, little sister.
Natasha Romanoff: I should’ve come back for you.
Yelena Belova: You don’t have to say that. It’s okay.
Natasha Romanoff: Hey. Hey. It was real to me too.
Yelena Belova: [they embrace] Thank you.

Natasha Romanoff: Everybody good?
Melina: I am clearly injured.
Natasha Romanoff: You got something to say?
Alexei: I’d just mess it up.

Melina: [as Ross and his men are about to arrive] So what’s our plan?
Natasha Romanoff: You guys go. I’ll stay.
Alexei: That’s insanity. We fight. We fight with you.
Natasha Romanoff: I’ll hold them off.
Alexei: Natasha, we fight.
Melina: We can’t split up. You’re so pigheaded.
Yelena Belova: We fight better together.
Natasha Romanoff: You guys, go.
Yelena Belova: Oh, my God.
Natasha Romanoff: Besides, if it can work out with the four of us, you know, there may be some hope for the Avengers. Little bit.

Mason: [referring to the quinjet] You see what I can get you with a bit of time and money? Go on, say it. I want to hear it. It would really be good for me to hear it. Really.
Natasha Romanoff: I’m impressed.
Mason: Well, yeah.
Natasha Romanoff: You’ve always been a really good friend to me.
Mason: That’s what every man wants to hear.

Mason: Where you going to go?
Natasha Romanoff: It’s funny. My whole life, I didn’t think I had any family. Turns out I got two, so. One of them is a bit of a mess right now. I’m going to go break a few of them out of prison, see if I can’t help patch things up.

[post-credits lines, as Yelena is visiting Natasha’s grave]
Valentina Allegra de Fontaine: Wow. Sorry. I’m allergic to the Midwest. What this woman did, honestly, I can’t even imagine.
Yelena Belova: You’re not supposed to be bothering me on my holiday time, Valentina.
Valentina Allegra de Fontaine: Oh, bothering you? Oh, no, no, no, no. I’m just here paying my respects.
Yelena Belova: You know, coming here makes you look desperate.

Yelena Belova: I want a raise.
Valentina Allegra de Fontaine: Oh, yeah. You and me both. Believe me, you’re going to 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. Kind of a cutie, don’t you think?
