Captain Marvel (2019) Best Quotes

Talos: [after Fury is beaten by Talos disguised as Keller, referring to his glasses] Now, you know, I don’t really need these to see. But they do kind of complete the look. Don’t you think?

Nick Fury: Do you know how to fly this thing?
Carol Danvers: We’ll see.
Nick Fury: That’s a “yes” or a “no” question.
Carol Danvers: Yes.
Nick Fury: That’s what I’m talking about.

Nick Fury: So you think, you’re the pilot that went down with Dr. Lawson?
Carol Danvers: I’m saying the last person to see them alive will probably tell us.
Nick Fury: Maria Rambeau?
Carol Danvers: Mm-hmm.

Carol Danvers: That agent that stopped the Skrulls from finding us…
Nick Fury: Coulson. The new guy. I guess he doesn’t hate me yet.
Carol Danvers: Yeah, well. give him time.
Nick Fury: I guess he had a feeling, you know. Went with his gut against orders. It’s a really hard thing to do. That’s what keeps us human.
Carol Danvers: I get in trouble for that, a lot.
Nick Fury: Oh. I see that about you. Rescuing the guy who sold you out to the Skrulls? I’m guessing that’s not standard Kree operating procedure.
Carol Danvers: Well, I won’t tell your boss if you don’t tell mine.

Carol Danvers: Excuse me, I’m looking for Maria Rambeau?
Monica Rambeau: Auntie Carol? Mom, it’s Auntie Carol! I knew it! Everyone said you were dead, but we knew they were lying.
Carol Danvers: I’m not really who you think I am.

Maria Rambeau: That is the craziest s**t I ever heard.
Monica Rambeau: Green transforming aliens? There’s no such thing.
Nick Fury: You’re absolutely right, young lady. There is no such thing. Because if there were, we would want to keep that to ourselves.
Carol Danvers: You don’t believe me?
Monica Rambeau: [as Carol uses her power to boilt the kettle] No way. That’s so cool.
Nick Fury: She can do a lot more than make tea with those hands.
Monica Rambeau: Like what? Show us.
Carol Danvers: Maybe later.

Maria Rambeau: You don’t remember anything?
Carol Danvers: I can see flashes, little moments. But I can’t tell what’s real. If I can just piece together what happened that morning, maybe it’ll make sense.
Maria Rambeau: You woke me up, banging on my door at dawn. Your usual move. Back then we had to get up so early. The Air Force still wasn’t letting women fly combat, so testing Lawson’s plane was our only shot at doing something that mattered. And you wanted a race at the base, in your old Mustang, and I didn’t want to argue, because I knew my Camaro would dominate, but you cheated, you took a shortcut.
Carol Danvers: Since when is a shortcut cheating?
Maria Rambeau: Since it violates the predetermined rules of engagement.
Carol Danvers: I definitely don’t remember those.
Maria Rambeau: Of course, you don’t.

Maria Rambeau: When I got to the hangar, Lawson was agitated. She said she had lives to save. She was trying to take the Aces up herself, but you said…
Carol Danvers: “If there were lives at stake, I would fly the plane.”
Maria Rambeau: Yeah Yep. Big hero moment. The kind of moment we’ve both been waiting for. The doc was always unique. That’s why we liked her. But now you’re saying she’s from another planet.
Carol Danvers: I know this must be hard for you.
Maria Rambeau: Oh, this part right here? No. No. Know what’s hard, is losing my best friend in a mission so secret, they act like it never even happened. Hard is knowing you were out there somewhere, too damn stubborn to die. And now you come up in here after six years, with your super charged fire hands and you expect me to call you, I don’t even know what, Vers? Is that really who you are now?
Carol Danvers: I don’t know.

Talos: [as Carol is about to photon blast him] Hang on a second. Before you go swinging those jazz-hands around, making a mess in your friend’s house, and it’s a lovely home.
Maria Rambeau: [they look out to see a Skrull has shapeshifted into Maria] Oh, my God. What the hell?
Talos: No one’s going to hurt the girl. Just, don’t kill me. We got a really complicated situation.
Nick Fury: I’m about five seconds from complicating that wall with some ugly-a** Skrull brains.
Talos: I’m sorry I simmed your boss. But now I stand before you as my true self, without deception.
Carol Danvers: And who is that out there?
Talos: Okay. That’s a fair point. But I’m sure that you understand, I had to take some precautions. I saw you crush twenty of my best men with your hands bound. I just want to talk.
Carol Danvers: The last time we talked, I ended up hanging from my ankles.
Talos: That was before I knew who you were. Before I knew what made you different from the others.

Talos: Young lady, I have a special skill that kind of allows me to get into places I’m not supposed to be in.
Maria Rambeau: Call me young lady again, and I’m going to put my foot in a place it’s not supposed to be.
Talos: Am I supposed to guess, where that is?
Nick Fury: Your a**.
Talos: Okay, I get it. We’re all a little on edge here.

Talos: [as Goose comes up to his leg] Oh, my God! Get that thing away! How’d that get in here?
Carol Danvers: [picks up Goose] The cat? This isn’t what you’re afraid of, is it?
Talos: That’s not a cat. That’s a Flerken.
Nick Fury: A Flerken?

Mar-Vell: [as Carol remembers how Lawson, who is Mar-Vell, was killed] You remember what I said about our work here? What it’s for?
Carol Danvers: To end wars?
Mar-Vell: Yeah. But the wars are bigger than you know.

Mar-Vell: My name is not Lawson. My real name is Mar-Vell, and I come from a planet called Hala.
Carol Danvers: I’d say you were delusional, but we just got shot down by a spaceship, and your blood is blue.
Mar-Vell: Listen, I spent half my life fighting a shameful war. Now skedaddle before you give me any more regrets. Just remember the coordinates, okay? You got to save them without me.
Carol Danvers: Save who? How?
Mar-Vell: Now, I got to blow this engine before they find it.
Carol Danvers: What are you doing?

Yon-Rogg: We have no interest in hurting you.
Carol Danvers: No? Because all the shooting kind of gave me the wrong impression!

Carol Danvers: [referring to finding out that Yon-Rogg killed Mar-Vell] He lied to me. Everything that I knew was a lie.
Talos: Now you understand.
Carol Danvers: What? What do I understand now?
Talos: Yon-Rogg killed Mar-Vell. He killed her. Because she found out that she was on the wrong side of an unjust war.
Carol Danvers: No. Your people are terrorists, they kill innocents. I saw the ruins on Torfa.
Talos: Ruins that the Accusers are responsible for. My people lived as refugees on Torfa. Homeless, ever since we resisted Kree rule, and they destroyed our planet. Now the handful of us that are left, will be slaughtered next. Unless, you help me finish what Mar-Vell started. The coordinates you found, would’ve powered a lightspeed ship capable of carrying us to safety. A new home, where the Kree can’t reach us.

Maria Rambeau: Lawson always told us that her work at Pegasus wasn’t to fight wars, but to end them.
Talos: She wanted you to help us find the core.
Carol Danvers: Well, I already destroyed it.
Talos: No, you destroyed the engine. The core that powers it is on a remote location. If you help us decode those coordinates, we can find it.
Carol Danvers: You’ll use it to destroy us.
Talos: We just want a home. You and I lost everything at the hands of the Kree. Can’t you see it now?

Talos: You’re not one of them.
Carol Danvers: You don’t know me. You have no idea who I am. I don’t even know who I am!
Maria Rambeau: You are Carol Danvers. You are the woman on that black box risking her life to do the right thing. My best friend, who supported me as a mother, and a pilot when no one else did. You’re smart, and funny, and a huge pain in the a**. And you are the most powerful person I know. Way before you could shoot fire from this. Do you hear me? Do you hear me? Come here. Give me a hug.
[they hug each other]

Carol Danvers: Well, I could use a co-pilot.
Maria Rambeau: No. No, I can’t. I can’t leave Monica.
Monica Rambeau: Mommy, it’s okay. I can stay with grandma and poppa.
Maria Rambeau: There’s no way I’m going, baby. It’s too dangerous.
Monica Rambeau: Testing for new aerospace tech is dangerous. Didn’t you use to do that?
Maria Rambeau: [to Carol] Your plan is to leave the atmosphere in a craft not designed for the journey, and you anticipate hostile encounters with a technologically superior foreign enemy. Correct?
Monica Rambeau: That’s what I’m saying. You have to go!
Maria Rambeau: Monica.
Monica Rambeau: You have a chance to fly the coolest mission in the history of missions. And you’re going to give it up to sit on the couch and watch Fresh Prince with me? I just think you should consider what kind of example you’re setting for your daughter.

Carol Danvers: [in her new suit] How do I look?
Monica Rambeau: Fresh.

Maria Rambeau: Can I ask you something? You just turn into anything you want?
Talos: Oh, well, I have to see it first.
Maria Rambeau: Can you all do it?
Talos: Physiologically, yeah. But it takes practice, and dare I say it, talent to do what…
Nick Fury: Can you turn into a cat?
Talos: What’s a cat?
Maria Rambeau: What about a filing cabinet?
Talos: Why would I turn into a filing cabinet?
Nick Fury: A venus fly trap. I’ll give you fifty bucks right now if you turn into a venus fly trap.

Maria Rambeau: Is that it? The core?
Carol Danvers: In her notes, she called it the Tesseract.

Talos: Carol, this is war. My hands are filthy from it too. But we’re here now. You found my family. This is just the beginning. There’s thousands of us separated from each other, scattered throughout the galaxy.

Carol Danvers: You lied to me.
Yon-Rogg: I made you a better version of yourself. What’s given can be taken away.

Carol Danvers: [referring to the Skrulls] If you hurt them, I will burn you to the ground.
Supreme Intelligence: With what, exactly? Your power comes from us.
Carol Danvers: You didn’t give me these powers. The blast did.
Supreme Intelligence: And yet, you’ve never had the strength to control them on your own.

Att-Lass: [scanning Goose] Species, Flerken. Threat, high.
Nick Fury: [as they put a muzzle over Goose’s face] It’s a cat. Not Hannibal Lecter.
Att-Lass: [scans Fury] Species, Human male. Threat, low to none.
Nick Fury: That thing is clearly busted.

Supreme Intelligence: Thanks to you, those insidious shapeshifters will threaten our borders no more.
Carol Danvers: I used to believe your lies, but the Skrulls are just fighting for a home. You’re talking about destroying them because they won’t submit to your rule. And neither will I.
Supreme Intelligence: We found you. We embraced you as our own.
Carol Danvers: You stole me, from my home, my family, my friends.

Supreme Intelligence: It’s cute how hard you try. Remember, without us, you’re weak. You’re flawed. Helpless. We saved you. Without us, you are only human.
Carol Danvers: You’re right. I’m only human.
Supreme Intelligence: On Hala, you were reborn, Vers.
Carol Danvers: My name is Carol.

Carol Danvers: I’ve been fighting with one arm tied behind my back. But what happens when I’m finally set free?
[Carol removes the Kree implant that was suppressing her powers unleashing her full powers]

Carol Danvers: You knew all along. Is that why we never hung out?
Minn-Erva: No. I just never liked you.

Yon-Rogg: I’m so proud of you. You’ve come a long way since I found you that day by the lake. But can you keep your emotions in check long enough to take me on? Or will it get the better of you, as always? I always told, you’ll be ready, the day you can knock me down as yourself. This is that moment. This is that moment, Vers! Turn off the light show, and prove, prove to me, you can beat me with…
Carol Danvers: [uses her photon blast on him and blasts him away] I have nothing to prove to you.

Yon-Rogg: I can’t go back empty handed.
Carol Danvers: You won’t be empty handed. I’m sending you with a message. Tell the Supreme Intelligence that I’m coming to end it. The war, the lies, all of it.
Yon-Rogg: You can’t do this.

Nick Fury: That was a close call, huh, Goosey? Huh? Are the bad guy’s still in there somewhere?
Nick Fury: [Goose suddenly scratches his eye] Oh! Mother Flerken!
Maria Rambeau: You okay?
Nick Fury: Yeah. It’s just a scratch.
Talos: No.

Nick Fury: That’s some nifty flying you did out there. SHIELD could always use a good pilot like you.
Maria Rambeau: I’ll consider it. As long as you don’t call my flying nifty again. How’s your eye?
Nick Fury: It never hurt a second.

Carol Danvers: [to Talos] Just so I’m clear, you were Soh-Larr, and the SHIELD agent?
Nick Fury: Keller. Tagged my boss up, stole his identity.
Talos: I borrowed his likeness. I’m no thief.
Soren: It’s a little like stealing.
Talos: Whose side are you on?

Nick Fury: You’re good to go here until you recover, but you and your family are going to need another look.
Talos: I could go back to being your boss.
Nick Fury: Oh, please don’t.
Talos: Come on. I loved sporting his beautiful blue eyes.
Monica Rambeau: No way, you guys have the best eyes. Don’t ever change your eyes.

Carol Danvers: [to Talos] I’ll help you find a home. Finish what Mar-Vell started.
Monica Rambeau: They can stay here with us, can’t they, mom?
Maria Rambeau: They won’t be safe here, baby. Auntie Carol is right. They need their own home.
Carol Danvers: I’ll be back before you know it.
Monica Rambeau: Maybe I can fly up and meet you halfway.
Nick Fury: Well, only if you learn how to gloat, like your Auntie Carol.
Monica Rambeau: Or maybe I’ll build a spaceship. You don’t know.
Carol Danvers: He doesn’t.

Carol Danvers: Keep the Tesseract on Earth. Hidden.
Nick Fury: You’re sure that’s what Marvel would want?
Carol Danvers: Mar-Vell.
Nick Fury: That’s what I said.
Carol Danvers: It’s two words. Mar-Vell.
Nick Fury: Mar-Vell. Marvel sounds a lot better. You know, like The Marvelettes?
Nick Fury: [starts singing “Please Mr. Postman”] Not ringing any bells?
Carol Danvers: Keep singing. Maybe it will come back to me.

Carol Danvers: [gives Fury his pager] I upgraded it. Range should be, a couple galaxies, at least.
Nick Fury: [as  he goes to take the pager, Carol pulls back] What? You think I’m going to prank call you?
Carol Danvers: For emergencies only. Okay?
Nick Fury: Well, if you’re ever passing back through this galaxy, be sure to give a brother a shout.

Agent Coulson: [gives Fury a case containing glass eyes] Glad to have you back, sir. This came for you. So, is it true? That the Kree burned your eye out because you refused to give them the Tesseract?
Nick Fury: I will neither confirm nor deny the facts of that story.
Agent Coulson: Understood.

Agent Coulson: I’m sorry to report that we still haven’t found the Tesseract.
Nick Fury: I’m sure it will turn up somewhere.
Agent Coulson: [looks over at Goose, who had swallowed the Tesseract] I’ll let you know when it does.
Nick Fury: Then what?
Agent Coulson: Sir?
Nick Fury: We have no idea what other intergalactic threats are out there. And our one-woman security force had a prior commitment on the other side of the universe. SHIELD alone can’t protect us. We need to find more.
Agent Coulson: More weapons?
Nick Fury: More heroes.
Agent Coulson: You think we can find others like her?
Nick Fury: We found her and we weren’t even looking.
Agent Coulson: Get some rest, sir. You got a big decision to make.

Steve Rogers: [mid-credits lines, monitoring Fury’s pager] This is a nightmare.
Natasha Romanoff: I’ve had better nightmares.
James Rhodes: Hey. So that thing just stopped doing whatever the hell it was doing.
Natasha Romanoff: What do we got?
Bruce Banner: Whatever signal it was sending finally popped out.
Steve Rogers: I thought we bypassed the battery.
James Rhodes: We did. It’s still plugged in, it just stopped.
Steve Rogers: Reboot it, send the signal again.
Bruce Banner: We don’t even know what this is.
Natasha Romanoff: Fury did. Just do it, please. Tell me the second you get a signal. I want to know who’s on the other end of that thing.
Carol Danvers: [suddenly appears] Where’s Fury?
