Dr. Abraham Erskine: [flipping through Steve’s file] Where are you from Mr. Rogers? Mm? Is it New Haven? Or Paramus? Five exams in five different cities.
Steve Rogers: That might not be the right file.
Dr. Abraham Erskine: No, it’s not the exams I’m interested in. It’s the five tries. But you didn’t answer my question. Do you want to kill Nazis?
Steve Rogers: Is this a test?
Dr. Abraham Erskine: Yes.
Steve Rogers: I don’t want to kill anyone. I don’t like bullies. I don’t care where they’re from.
Dr. Abraham Erskine: Well, there are already so many big men fighting this war. Maybe what we need now is the little guy, huh?

[suddenly Peggy punches him hard in the face]

Col. Chester Phillips: [moviequotesandmore.com, to the new army recruits] General Patton has said that wars are fought with weapons, but they are won by men. We are going to win this war because we have the best men. And because they’re going to get better. Much better. The Strategic Scientific Reserve is an allied effort made up of the best minds in the free world. Our goal is to create the best army in history. But every army starts with one man.

Col. Chester Phillips: [addressing the new army recruits] At the end of this week we will choose that man. He will be the first in a new breed of super-soldiers. And they, will personally escort Adolf Hitler to the gates of Hell.

Col. Chester Phillips: You’re not really thinking about picking Rogers, are you?
Dr. Abraham Erskine: I am more than just thinking about it. He is the clear choice.
Col. Chester Phillips: When you brought a ninety pounds asthmatic onto my army base, I let it slide. I thought, what the hell? Maybe he’ll be useful to you, like a gerbil. I never thought you’d pick him.

Col. Chester Phillips: [referring to Steve] Stick a needle in that kids arm and it’s going to go right through him. Look at that? He’s making me cry.

Steve Rogers: Is this is a test?
Col. Chester Phillips: [to Erskine] He’s still skinny.

Steve Rogers: Can I ask you a question?
Dr. Abraham Erskine: Just one?
Steve Rogers: Why me?
Dr. Abraham Erskine: I suppose that is the only question that matters.

Dr. Abraham Erskine: [to Steve] So many people forget that the first country that the Nazi’s invaded was their own. You know, after the last war the, my people struggled. They felt weak. They felt small. And then Hitler comes along with the marching, and the big show, and the flags, and the, and the… And he hears of me, my work and he finds me. And he says, you, he says you will us strong. Well, I am not interested. So he sends the head of Hydra, his research division. A brilliant scientist by the name of Johann Schmidt. Now, Schmidt is a member of the inner circle and he’s ambitious. He and Hitler share a passion for a cult power and Teutonic myth. Hitler uses his fantasies to inspire his followers. But for Schmidt it is not fantasy. For him, it is real. He has become convinced that there is a great power in the earth, left there by the Gods, waiting to be seized by a superior man. So when he hears about my formula and what it can do, he cannot resist.

Dr. Abraham Erskine: [referring to Schmidt injecting himself with the serum] Schmidt must become that superior man.
Steve Rogers: Did it make him stronger?
Dr. Abraham Erskine: Yeah. But, there were other effects. The serum was not ready. But more important, the man. The serum amplifies everything that is inside. So, good becomes great. Bad becomes worse. This is why you were chosen. Because a strong man, who has known power all his life, will lose respect for that power. But a weak man knows the value of strength, and knows compassion.
Steve Rogers: Thanks. I think.

Dr. Abraham Erskine: Whatever happens tomorrow, you must promise me one thing. That you will stay who you are. Not a perfect soldier, but a good man.
Steve Rogers: [as he’s about to drink] To the little guys.
Dr. Abraham Erskine: No! No! Wait! Wait! What I am doing? No! You have a procedure tomorrow. No fluids.
Steve Rogers: Alright. We’ll drink it after.
Dr. Abraham Erskine: No! I don’t have procedure tomorrow. Drink it after! Drink it now!

Peggy Carter: I know a little of what that’s like. To have every door shut in your face.
Steve Rogers: I guess I just don’t why you’d want to join the army if you’re a beautiful dame. Or a beautiful, a woman. An agent, not a dame! You are beautiful, but…
Peggy Carter: You have no idea how to talk to a woman, do you?
Steve Rogers: This is the longest conversation I’ve had with one. Women aren’t exactly lining up to dance with a guy they might step on.
Peggy Carter: You must have danced?
Steve Rogers: Well, asking a woman to dance always seems so terrifying. And the past few year just didn’t seem to matter that much. Figured I’d wait.
Peggy Carter: For what?
Steve Rogers: The right partner.

Dr. Abraham Erskine: [as Steve is being prepared to become a super-solider] Ladies and gentlemen, today we take not another step towards annihilation, but the first step on the path to peace. We begin with a series of micro injections into the subjects major muscle groups. The serum infusion will cause immediate cellular change. And then to stimulate growth, the subject will be saturated with vita rays.

Steve Rogers: [as he receives the first injection] That wasn’t so bad.

Roeder: And I suppose you still aim to end this war through magic?
Johann Schmidt: Science. But I understand your confusion. Great power has always baffled primitive men. Hydra is assembling an arsenal to destroy my enemies in one stroke. Where ever they are, regardless of how many forces they possess. All in a matter of hours.
Roeder: Your enemies?
Johann Schmidt: My weapons contain enough destructive power to decimate every hostile capital on earth. Quite simply, gentlemen, I have harnessed the power of the Gods.

Steve Rogers: [referring to the amount of blood samples taken from him] I think you got enough.
Peggy Carter: Any hope of reproducing a program is locked in your genetic code. But without Dr. Erskine it will take years.
Steve Rogers: He deserved more than this.
Peggy Carter: If it could only work once, he’d be proud it was you.

Peggy Carter: Hydra is the Nazi deep science division. It’s led by Johann Schmidt. But he has much bigger ambitions.
Col. Chester Phillips: Hydra’s practically a cult. They worship Schmidt, they think he’s invincible.
Senator Brandt: So what are you going to do about it?
Col. Chester Phillips: Spoke to the president this morning. As of today the SSR is being retasked.
Peggy Carter: Colonel?
Col. Chester Phillips: We are taking the fight to Hydra. Pack your bags Agent Carter. You too, Stark. You’re flying to London tonight.

Steve Rogers: Sir, if you’re going after Schmidt, I want in.
Col. Chester Phillips: You’re an experiment. You’re going to Alamogordo.
Steve Rogers: The serum worked.
Col. Chester Phillips: I asked for an army and all I got was you. You are not enough.

Senator Brandt: Son, do you want to serve your country on the most important battle field of the war?
Steve Rogers: Sir, that’s all I want.
Senator Brandt: Then, congratulations. You just got promoted.

Steve Rogers: [backstage getting dressed in super-hero costume] I don’t know if I can do this.
Brandt’s Aide: Nothing to it. Sell off a few bonds, bonds buy bullets, bullets kills Nazi’s. Bing bang boom. You’re an American hero.
Steve Rogers: It’s just now how I pictured getting there.
Brandt’s Aide: The senator’s got a lot of pull up on the hill. You play ball with us, you’ll be leading your own platoon in no time. Take the shield.

Steve Rogers: [addressing a crowd of soldiers] How many of you ready to help me sock old Adolf on the jaw? Okay. I need in volunteer?

Army Heckler#2: Nice boots, Tinker Bell!

[he stands turns and pulls his pants down]

Steve Rogers: What are you doing here?
Peggy Carter: Officially I’m not here at all. That was quite a performance.
Steve Rogers: Yeah. I had to improvise a little bit. Crowds I’m used to are usually more twelve.
Peggy Carter: But I understand, you’re America’s New Hope?
Steve Rogers: Bond sales take a ten percent bump in every state I visit.
Peggy Carter: Is that Senator Brandt I hear?
Steve Rogers: At least he’s got me doing this. Phillips would have had be stuck in lab.
Peggy Carter: And these are your only two options? A lab rat or a dancing monkey? You were meant for more than this, you know? What?
Steve Rogers: You know, for the longest time I dreamed about coming overseas and be on the front lines. Serving my country. I finally get everything I wanted, and I’m wearing tights.

Peggy Carter: Schmidt sent out a force to Rosano. Two hundred men went up against him and less than fifty returned. Your audience contained what was left of the one-o-seventh. The rest were killed or captured.
Steve Rogers: The one-o-seventh?
Peggy Carter: What?

Steve Rogers: Colonel Phillips?
Col. Chester Phillips: Well, if it isn’t the star spangled man with a plan. And what is your plan today?
Steve Rogers: I need the casualty list for Rosano.
Col. Chester Phillips: You don’t get to give me orders, son.
Steve Rogers: I just need one name. Sergeant James Barnes from the hundred and seventh.
Col. Chester Phillips: [pointing to Peggy] You and I are going to have a conversation later that you won’t enjoy.
Steve Rogers: Please tell me if he’s alive, sir. B-A-R…
Col. Chester Phillips: I can spell.

Col. Chester Phillips: [referring to Barnes] I have signed more of these condolence letters today than I would care to count. But the name does sound familiar. I’m sorry.
Steve Rogers: What about the others? Are you planning a rescue mission?
Col. Chester Phillips: Yeah! It’s called winning the war.

Steve Rogers: But if you know where they are, why not at least…?
Col. Chester Phillips: They’re thirty miles behind the lines. Through the most heavily fortified territory in Europe. We’d lose more men than we’d save. But I don’t expect you to understand that, because you’re a chorus girl.
Steve Rogers: I think I understand just fine.
Col. Chester Phillips: Well then understand it somewhere else. If I read the posters correctly, you got some place to be in thirty minutes.
Steve Rogers: [looks at the military map which shows where the men are] Yes, sir. I do.

Peggy Carter: What do you plan to do? Walk to Austria?
Steve Rogers: If that’s what it takes.
Peggy Carter: You heard the Colonel, your friend is most likely dead.
Steve Rogers: You don’t know that.
Peggy Carter: Even so, he’s devising a strategy to take
Steve Rogers: By the time he’s done that, it could be too late!

Steve Rogers: You told me you thought I was meant for more than this. Did you mean that?
Peggy Carter: Every word.
Steve Rogers: Then you got to let me go.
Peggy Carter: I can do more than that.

Steve Rogers: You know, you two are going to be in a lot of trouble at the lab.
Peggy Carter: And you won’t?
Steve Rogers: Where I’m going, if anybody yells at me I can just shoot them.
Peggy Carter: They will undoubtedly shoot back.
Steve Rogers: Well, let’s hope it’s good for something.

Howard Stark: Agent Carter, if we’re not in too much of a hurry I thought we could stop off in Lucerne for a late night fondue.
Peggy Carter: [looks awkwardly at Steve] Stark is the best civilian pilot I’ve ever seen. He’s mad enough to brave this airspace, we’re lucky to have him.
Steve Rogers: So are you two…? Do you…? Fondue?

Peggy Carter: [as Steve is about to jump out of the plane] Get back here! We’re taking you all the way in.
Steve Rogers: As soon as I’m free, turn this thing around and get the hell out of here!
Peggy Carter: You can’t give me orders!
Steve Rogers: The hell I can’t! I’m a Captain!

Gabe Jones: [as he finds some of the captured soldiers] Who are you supposed to be?
Steve Rogers: I’m Captain America.

Steve Rogers: Get out fast and give them hell. I’ll meet you guys in the clearing with anybody else I find.
Gabe Jones: Wait! You know what you’re doing?
Steve Rogers: Yeah. I’ve knocked out Adolf Hitler over two hundred times.

Steve Rogers: [as he finds Bucky in one of Schmidt’s testing labs] I thought you were dead.
James ‘Bucky’ Barnes: I thought you were smaller.

James ‘Bucky’ Barnes: [referring to Steve’s change of appearance] What happened to you?
Steve Rogers: I joined the army!

James ‘Bucky’ Barnes: [referring to Steve changing to a super-soldier] Did it hurt?
Steve Rogers: A little.
James ‘Bucky’ Barnes: Is it permanent?
Steve Rogers: So far!

Johann Schmidt: Captain America! How exciting! I’m a great fan of your films. So Dr. Erskine managed it after all. Not exactly an improvement, but still impressive.
Steve Rogers: [punches Schmidt hard in the face] You got no idea.
Johann Schmidt: Haven’t I!

Johann Schmidt: No matter what lies Erskine told you, you see I was his greatest success!
James ‘Bucky’ Barnes: [as Schmidt peels off his skin to reveal he’s the Red Skull] You don’t have one of those, do you?
Johann Schmidt: You are deluded, Captain. You pretend to be a simple soldier, but in reality you are just afraid to admit that we have left humanity behind. Unlike you, I embrace it proudly. Without fear!
Steve Rogers: Then how come you’re running?

Col. Chester Phillips: I can’t touch Stark, he’s rich and he’s the army’s number one weapons contractor. You are neither one!
Peggy Carter: With respect, sir, I don’t regret my actions. And I don’t think Captain Rogers did either.
Col. Chester Phillips: What makes you think I give a damn about your opinions. I took a chance with you, Agent Carter. And now America’s golden boy, and a lot of other good men are dead, because you had a crush.
Peggy Carter: It wasn’t that. I had faith.
Col. Chester Phillips: Well, I hope that’s big comfort to you when they shut this division down.

Steve Rogers: [after he returns with the soldiers] I’d like to surrender myself for disciplinary action.
Col. Chester Phillips: That won’t be necessary.
Steve Rogers: Yes, sir.
Col. Chester Phillips: [to Peggy] Faith, huh?

Col. Chester Phillips: We are going to set a fire under Johann Schmidt’s a**. What do you say, Rogers? It’s your map, you think you can wipe Hydra off of it?
Steve Rogers: Yes, sir. I’ll need a team.
Col. Chester Phillips: We’re already putting together the best men.
Steve Rogers: With all due respect, sir. So am I.

Timothy ‘Dum Dum’ Dugan: So let’s get this straight.
Gabe Jones: We barely got out of there alive and you want us to go back?
Steve Rogers: Pretty much.
James Montgomery Falsworth: Sounds rather fun, actually.
Jim Morita: I’m in.

Gabe Jones: [referring to himself and Dernier] We’re in.
Timothy ‘Dum Dum’ Dugan: Hell, I’ll always fight. But you got to do one thing for me.
Steve Rogers: What’s that?
Timothy ‘Dum Dum’ Dugan: [drinks the rest of his beer in one go] Open a tab.
Timothy ‘Dum Dum’ Dugan: [as Steve gets up to go to the bar] Well, that was easy!

Steve Rogers: You ready to follow Captain America into the jaws of death?
James ‘Bucky’ Barnes: Hell, no! The little guy from Brooklyn who was too dumb not to run away from a fight. I’m following him. But you’re keeping the outfit, right?
Steve Rogers: You know what? It’s kind of grown on me.

Peggy Carter: [after Peggy enters the bar] I see your top squad is prepping for duty.
Steve Rogers: You don’t like music?
Peggy Carter: I do, actually. I might, even when this is all over, go dancing.
James ‘Bucky’ Barnes: Then what are we waiting for?
Peggy Carter: [looking at Steve] The right partner. O-eight-hundred, Captain.
Steve Rogers: Yes, ma’am. I’ll be there.

James ‘Bucky’ Barnes: [referring to the rejection he got from Peggy] I’m invisible. I’m turning into you. It’s like some horrible dream.
Steve Rogers: Don’t take it so hard. Maybe she’s got a friend.

Pvt. Lorraine: Read about what you did.
Steve Rogers: [she shows him his rescue mission in the newspaper] Oh! The, yeah! Well, that’s, you know? Just doing what needed to be done.
Pvt. Lorraine: Sounded like more than that. You saved nearly four hundred men.
Steve Rogers: Really, it’s not a big deal.
Pvt. Lorraine: Tell that to their wives.
Steve Rogers: I don’t think they were all married.
Pvt. Lorraine: You’re a hero.
Steve Rogers: Well, that, you know? That depends on the definition of it really.
Pvt. Lorraine: [grabs hold of his tie] The women of America, they owe you their thanks. And seeing as they’re not here.
[drags him to the corner of the office and kisses him]

Peggy Carter: [catches Steve kissing Pvt. Lorraine] Captain! We’re ready for you. If you’re not otherwise occupied.
Steve Rogers: Agent Carter, wait.
Peggy Carter: Looks like finding a partner wasn’t that hard after all.
Steve Rogers: Peggy, that’s not what you thought it was.
Peggy Carter: I don’t think anything, Captain. Not one thing. You always wanted to be soldier and now you are. Just like all the rest.
Steve Rogers: Well, what about you and Stark? How do I know you two haven’t been fonduing?
Peggy Carter: You still don’t know a bloody thing about women!

Howard Stark: Fondue is just cheese and bread, my friend.
Steve Rogers: Really? I didn’t think…
Howard Stark: Nor should you, pal. The moment you think you know what’s going on in a woman’s head, it’s the moment your goose is well and truly cooked. Me, I concentrate on work. Which at the moment is about making sure you and your men do not get killed.

Howard Stark: [referring to Steve’s Captain America shield] I hear you’re kind of attached?
Steve Rogers: It’s handier than you might think.

Howard Stark: [as Steve picks up the silver shield] No! No! That’s just a prototype.
Steve Rogers: What’s it made of?
Howard Stark: Vibranium. It’s stronger than steel and a third of the weight. It’s completely vibration absorbent.
Steve Rogers: How come it’s not a standard issue?
Howard Stark: That’s the rarest metal on earth. What you’re holding there? That’s all we’ve got.

Peggy Carter: You quite finished, Mr. Stark? I’m sure the Captain has some unfinished business?
Steve Rogers: [holds up the Vibranium shield] What do you think?
Peggy Carter: [picks up a gun and shoots it at Steve as he protects himself with the shield] Yes. I think it works.
Steve Rogers: [Peggy leaves as he Stark look stunned] I had some ideas about the uniform.
Howard Stark: Whatever you want, pal.

Johann Schmidt: You are failing! We are close to and offensive network that will shake the planet. And yet we are continually delayed, because you cannot outwit a simpleton with a shield!
Dr. Arnim Zola: This is hardly my area of expertise! I merely develop the weapons. I cannot fire them.
Johann Schmidt: Finish your mission, doctor. Before the American finishes his.

Dr. Arnim Zola: [after he’s captured and Phillips brings a tray of food] What is this?
Col. Chester Phillips: Steak.
Dr. Arnim Zola: What is in it?
Col. Chester Phillips: Cow. Doctor, do you realize how difficult it is to get hold of a prime cut like that out here?
Dr. Arnim Zola: I don’t eat meat.
Col. Chester Phillips: Why not?
Dr. Arnim Zola: It disagrees with me.
Col. Chester Phillips: How about cyanide? Does that give you the rumbly tummy too?

Col. Chester Phillips: Every Hydra agent that we’ve tried to take alive has crunched a little pill before we can stop him. But not you! So, here’s my brilliant theory. You want to live.
Dr. Arnim Zola: You’re trying to intimidate me, Colonel.
Col. Chester Phillips: I bought you dinner.

Col. Chester Phillips: [to Zola] He’s going to kill you anyway, doc. You’re a liability. You know more about Schmidt than anyone. And the last guy you cost us was Captain Roger’s closest friend. So, I wouldn’t count on the very best of protection. There’s you, or Schmidt. It’s just the hand you’ve been dealt.

Dr. Arnim Zola: Schmidt believes he walks in the footsteps of the Gods. Only the world itself will satisfy him.
Col. Chester Phillips: You do realize that’s nuts, don’t you?
Dr. Arnim Zola: But the sanity of the plan is of no consequence.
Col. Chester Phillips: And why is that?
Dr. Arnim Zola: Because he can do it!
Col. Chester Phillips: What’s his target?
Dr. Arnim Zola: His target is everywhere.

Johann Schmidt: [addressing his Hydra soldiers] Tomorrow, Hydra will stand master of the world. Born to victory on the wings of the Valkyrie. Our enemies weapons will be powerless against us. If they shoot down one plane, hundreds more will rain fire upon them! If they cut off one head, two more shall take its place. Heil Hydra!

Steve Rogers: [pouring himself some drink] Dr. Erskine said that the serum wouldn’t just affect my muscles, it would affect my cells. Create a protective system of regeneration and healing. Which means I can’t get drunk. Did you know that?
Peggy Carter: Your metabolism burns four times faster than the average person. He thought it could be one of the side effects.

Peggy Carter: [referring to Bucky getting killed] It wasn’t your fault.
Steve Rogers: Did you read the reports?
Peggy Carter: Yes.
Steve Rogers: Then you know that’s not true.
Peggy Carter: You did everything you could. Did you believe in your friend? Did you respect him? Then stop blaming yourself. Allow Barnes the dignity of his choice. He damn well must have thought you were worth it.

Steve Rogers: I’m going after Schmidt. I’m not going to stop till all of Hydra is dead or captured.
Peggy Carter: You won’t be alone.

Col. Chester Phillips: Johann Schmidt belongs in a bug house. He thinks he’s a God. He’s willing to blow half the world prove it, starting with the USA.
Howard Stark: Schmidt’s working with powers beyond our capabilities. He gets across the Atlantic, he will wipe out the entire eastern sea board in an hour.
Gabe Jones: How much time we got?
Col. Chester Phillips: According to my new best friend, twenty-four hours.

Col. Chester Phillips: [holding a photo he points to the base] Hydra’s last base is here. In the Alps. Five hundred feet below the surface.
Jim Morita: So, what are we supposed to do. I mean, it’s not like we can just knock on the front door.
Steve Rogers: Why not? That’s exactly what we’re going to do.

Johann Schmidt: [after Steve is captured and brought to Schmidt] Arrogance may not be a uniquely American trait, but I must say you do it better than anyone. But there are limits to what even you can do, Captain. Or did Erskine tell you otherwise?
Steve Rogers: He told me you were insane.
Johann Schmidt: Ah. He resented my genius and tried to deny me what was rightfully mine. But he gave you everything. So, what made you so special?
Steve Rogers: Nothing. I’m just a kid from Brooklyn.

Steve Rogers: [after Schmidt has beaten him] I can do this all day.
Johann Schmidt: Oh, of course you can. Of course. But unfortunately I am on a tight schedule.
Steve Rogers: So am I!
[just then Steve’s team crash through the windows of the weapons lab]

Peggy Carter: [as Steve is about to leap onto Schmidt’s plane and kisses him] Wait! Go get him.
Col. Chester Phillips: [as Steve is surprised by the kiss and looks at him] I’m not kissing you!

Peggy Carter: [over radio] Steve, is that you? Are you alright?
Steve Rogers: Peggy! Schmidt’s dead.
Peggy Carter: What about the plane?
Steve Rogers: That’s a little bit tougher to explain.
Peggy Carter: Give me your coordinates, I’ll find you a safe landing site.
Steve Rogers: There’s not going to be a safe landing. But I can try and force it down.
Peggy Carter: I’ll get Howard on the line, he’ll know what to do.
Steve Rogers: There’s not enough time. This thing’s moving too fast and it’s heading for New York.

Steve Rogers: [over radio, referring to Schmidt’s plane] I got to put her in the water.
Peggy Carter: Please, don’t do this. We have time. We can work it out.
Steve Rogers: Right now I’m in the middle of nowhere. If I wait any longer a lot of people are going to die. Peggy, this is my choice.

Steve Rogers: [over radio] Peggy?
Peggy Carter: I’m here.
Steve Rogers: I’m going to need a rain check on that dance.
Peggy Carter: Alright. A weak, next Saturday, at the Stork Club.
Steve Rogers: You got it.
Peggy Carter: Eight o’clock on the dot. Don’t you dare be late! Understood?
Steve Rogers: You know, I still don’t know how to dance.
Peggy Carter: I’ll show you how. Just be there.
Steve Rogers: [as he’s forcing the plane down towards the water] You’ll have the band play something slow. I’d hate to step on your…
Peggy Carter: [the radio goes static] Steve? Steve? Steve?

SHIELD Agent: [after Steve wakes in a 1940’s hospital room] Good morning. Or should I say, afternoon.
Steve Rogers: Where am I?
SHIELD Agent: You’re in a recovery room in New York city.
Steve Rogers: Where am I really?
SHIELD Agent: I’m afraid I don’t understand.
Steve Rogers: [referring to the baseball game on the radio] The game, it’s from May, 1941. I know, because I was there. Now, I’m going to ask you again. Where am I?
SHIELD Agent: Captain Rogers?
Steve Rogers: Who are you?

Nick Fury: [as Steve finds himself in 2011’s Time Square] Look, I’m sorry about that little show back there. But we thought it best to break it to you slowly.
Steve Rogers: Break what?
Nick Fury: You’ve been asleep, Cap. For almost seventy years. Are you going to be okay?
Steve Rogers: Yeah. Yeah. I just, I had a date.

Nick Fury: [post-credits lines, as Steve is pummeling a punching bag in a gym] Trouble sleeping?
Steve Rogers: Are you here with a mission, sir?
Nick Fury: I am.
Steve Rogers: Trying to get me back in the world?
Nick Fury: Trying to save it.
