1. Never Meet Your Heroes

'There's always going to be weather. Some people forget the one thing they can control, the choices they make in the face of it.' - Derek Bishop (Hawkeye) Click To Tweet

Derek Bishop: [2012] You shouldn’t eavesdrop.
Young Kate: Then how would I know what you’re saying when I’m not there?
Derek Bishop: I don’t know how to argue with that.

Young Kate: [moviequotesandmore.com] Mommy said things don’t just fall from the sky.
Derek Bishop: Well, yeah. But there’s always going to be weather. Some people forget the one thing they can control, the choices they make in the face of it.
Young Kate: What would you do in a hurricane?
Derek Bishop: I would do what I always do. Protect you.

Young Kate: [at Derek’s funeral, after the Chitauri attack in New York, MQM] I need to protect us.
Eleanor Bishop: Kate, that’s my job. Okay? Whatever you need, I’m here for you.
Young Kate: I need a bow and arrow.

Lila Barton: [as they’re watching Rogers: The Musical, MQM] Dad? Did you turn your hearing aid off?
Clint Barton: No, honey, I know what happens. I was there. You know who wasn’t there? Is that guy. Ant-Man.
Lila Barton: You look pretty cool though. That’s a plus.

Clint Barton: [referring to Rogers: The Musical] This whole thing is a bit ridiculous, isn’t it?
Lila Barton: A lot ridiculous.

Eleanor Bishop: [moviequotesandmore.com] I’m not thrilled that I’m about to replace an irreplaceable clock tower.
Kate Bishop: It was a bell tower.
Eleanor Bishop: The Dean said it had a bell and a clock, and overachiever that you are, you managed to destroy both.

Eleanor Bishop: [to Kate] I know young people think they’re invincible, and rich people think they’re invincible, and you have always been both. So take it from someone who hasn’t, you’re not. You will get hurt. So please, don’t go out looking for it.

Jack Duquesne: What an unexpected surprise.
Kate Bishop: All surprises are unexpected.
Jack Duquesne: That can’t be right. Is it?

2. Hide and Seek

Clint Barton: So, where did you learn to fight like that?
Kate Bishop: I started taking martial arts when I was five.
Clint Barton: Wow. So, like a year ago?

Kate Bishop: [to Clint] Look, just so you know, I’m not some total noob, right? I know I was a little overwhelmed, but I really held my own with those douchebags.

Kate Bishop: [moviequotesandmore.com] You know, some people have actually called me the world’s greatest archer.
Clint Barton: Yeah? Are you one of those people?
Kate Bishop: Well, one of them is. Yes.
Clint Barton: That’s wonderful. Yeah.

Clint Barton: Nice place for a kid.
Kate Bishop: Yeah, I inherited it.
Clint Barton: What are you, eighteen?
Kate Bishop: I’m twenty-two.
Clint Barton: Yeah, same thing.

Clint Barton: So, what all did you do in this suit?
Kate Bishop: I beat some guys up. Saved the dog. Some light B and E.
Clint Barton: Jesus. A twenty-two year-old vigilante.

Kate Bishop: [moviequotesandmore.com] So, now that I’ve answered all your questions, I have so many for you. Starting with, can you sign this?
Clint Barton: I’m not done yet.
Kate Bishop: But when you are, can you sign my bow? You’re kind of my favorite Avenger.

Clint Barton: Tracksuit Mafia.
Kate Bishop: That’s their name? That’s a little on the nose, don’t you think?

Kate Bishop: [moviequotesandmore.com] So, where are we going?
Clint Barton: Getting further away from those people trying to kill you.
Kate Bishop: Right. And after that?
Clint Barton: We’ll need some supplies.
Kate Bishop: Hell, yeah. Avenger supplies?

Kate Bishop: [as they’re getting supplies at the store] I’m not going to lie to you, Hawkeye. This is a bit of a letdown.
Clint Barton: I’m sorry to have disappointed you.

Kate Bishop: So what’s the plan now? Let me guess. We’re going to your safe house? Is it in Avengers Tower?
Clint Barton: No. Tony sold that. A few years ago.
Kate Bishop: That is so sad on so many levels.

Clint Barton: Look, I got to find a place to stash you. Safe. So I can recover the suit and clean your mess.
Kate Bishop: Stash me? I’m not a bag of money.
Clint Barton: No, you’re not. A bag of money would be useful to me.

Clint Barton: [as Kate finishes her call to Eleanor] Since when did everybody start saying, “I love you,” to everybody all the time?
Kate Bishop: That was my mom. Since when did your heart shrink three sizes?
Clint Barton: When a little girl in a ninja costume stole my Christmas.

Kate Bishop: I’m multitasking. Reducing swelling. Thawing out Pizza Dog’s breakfast.
Clint Barton: Is that the dog’s name?
Kate Bishop: He doesn’t have a name. It’s more of a title of nobility. Like Earl of Sandwich.

Kate Bishop: So, how’s my place?
Clint Barton: Crispy.
Kate Bishop: Did you get the suit?
Clint Barton: No.

Lila Barton: What’s going on? Should we be worried?
Clint Barton: No. No. It’s nothing. Daddy’s got this. It’s no big deal. Okay? Come on.
Lila Barton: I really thought you were going to be home for Christmas.
Clint Barton: Hey, look at me. I’ll be home for Christmas.

Kate Bishop: [referring to Ronin] They think I’m that vigilante?
Clint Barton: It’s been less than twenty-four hours, you’ve been on the news twice. Impressive. Told you that suit was bad news.

Clint Barton: You’re just not going to listen to me, are you?
Kate Bishop: I want to, but no.

Kate Bishop: I’m going to be late, thanks to you.
Clint Barton: You’re going to be alive because of me.

Kate Bishop: Being a gentleman and walking on the outside. That’s nice.
Clint Barton: [points to his hearing aid] No, no. It’s just so I can hear you. And to be clear, not because I want to, just because I need to.

Kate Bishop: [referring to the costumed characters] Hey, look, that one’s you.
Clint Barton: No. That’s Katniss Everdeen.
Kate Bishop: Your problem is branding.

Kate Bishop: Your whole thing is that you’re low-key. It’s a very hard brand to sell.
Clint Barton: Well, I’m not really trying to sell anything.
Kate Bishop: It should technically make you cooler, but I think that with all the scary stuff that’s happened since the Avengers appeared, people don’t want that cynical, cool thing anymore. They want sincerity.
Clint Barton: Is that right?
Kate Bishop: Not self-seriousness, but a heart-on-your-sleeve sincerity.

Kate Bishop: You are very contained. You keep your cards close to your vest, which you wear over a suit of armor, and like sixteen other layers of self-protection. All of which, under, finally, is your heart. So, not exactly on your sleeve.
Clint Barton: Again, not really trying to sell anything.
Kate Bishop: But you do, anyway.

Clint Barton: Okay, Kate. What am I selling, then, huh? It’s certainly not Halloween costumes, or toys off the shelf.
Kate Bishop: Inspiration, Clint.

Kate Bishop: The only thing you’ve taught me is how to lose a tail, and I almost already knew that.
Clint Barton: Right, maybe I taught you how to bandage a wound. How’s that?
Kate Bishop: But what about trick arrows?
Clint Barton: There are no trick arrows, Kate.

Jack Duquesne: It makes perfect sense that she would be hostile. She likely feels displaced by me, and she’s testing our new dynamic. She both desires my approval, yet wants to set firm boundaries. She feels threatened by me, and you know what? I can understand why. I bought a book. About being a stepdad.
Kate Bishop: Money well spent, Jack.

Clint Barton: I’m not trying to cause a scene here, alright? Out of respect to whatever the hell this is, but I’m plumb out of patience. So you got two choices, you understand? I could take this pretend-sword, and you pretend to die, and I take that suit. Or I’m going to real punch you, and you’re going to real fall down, and I’m going to take that suit.
Grills: Just let me kill you. And I’ll give you the suit.

Grills: You’re a superhero in real life. This is as close as I’m ever going to get to being one. Just work with me. Let me kill you.
Clint Barton: [to himself] And I fought Thanos.

Grills: [as they’re pretend fighting] You ready?
Clint Barton: I’m begging you. Kill me.

Clint Barton: I’m not sure how high it goes up, so I just got to stick around a bit longer. I promised Lila I’d be there for Christmas.
Laura Barton: Well, then you have five days to keep that promise.

Kate Bishop: You cook, you’re attentive, you’re wealthy. You’re almost too good to be true.
Jack Duquesne: I assure you, I am not.

Kate Bishop: [referring to fencing] I was a two-time state champion. Good with all the outdated weapons. I’d say it made me pretty aware of when someone is trying to stab you in the back.

Eleanor Bishop: [as Kate and Jack are about to start fencing] Honey, be careful.
Kate Bishop: When am I not careful?
Eleanor Bishop: I was talking to Jack.

Eleanor Bishop: Kate, it’s sweet that you’re worried, but just remember I’m the mom. It’s my job to protect you.
Kate Bishop: I’m not a little kid anymore.
Eleanor Bishop: And you’re not a superhero either.

Eleanor Bishop: Why don’t you start by apologizing to Jack?
Kate Bishop: Sorry for scaring you into telling the truth.
Jack Duquesne: Smart as a whip, this one, huh?

Clint Barton: [after he’s captured by the Tracksuit Mafia] It’s a nice place you got here. Not creepy at all.
Thomas: Hey, hey, hey, hey. You kid. I know you kid. So, don’t kid, okay? Because it was getting very hard to find place. Now, all the warehouses are being converted into lofts, so how can I get something better?

Clint Barton: Look, guys, I’m not who you think I am. Okay?
Ivan: So, you are not Hawkeye?
Clint Barton: Well, I guess I am who you think I am. I’m not the guy you’re looking for.

Clint Barton: Can I speak to your manager? This is like talking to furniture. I came here to talk to your boss. Is that possible? I’m trying to be civil here.
Thomas: Civil? We kidnapped you, rozumiesz?

Clint Barton: [as Tracksuit Mafia have them both tied up] Look what you did.
Kate Bishop: I was just trying to help, okay?
Clint Barton: Don’t talk.

3. Echoes

Young Maya: [signing] Are dragons real?
William Lopez: Maybe they are. But dragons live in a different world.
Young Maya: [signing] What if they learned to come into our world?
William Lopez: Well, that would make them stronger.

William Lopez: [to young Maya] You have to learn to jump between two worlds. Just by watching.

William Lopez: [after he’s mortally stabbed by Ronin, signing] Please, just go.
Maya Lopez: [signing] I won’t leave you.
William Lopez: [signing] I’m already gone. Fly away from here, little dragon.

Kate Bishop: [moviequotesandmore.com] Seems like you’re mad at me. Look, I know it doesn’t look like that right now, but you’d be lost without me, you realize that?
Clint Barton: I was about to clear your name from the suit, until you decided to crash through the skylight.

Kazi: [referring to Maya] She asked what you’re doing here, Clint Barton.
Clint Barton: Riding a unicorn.
Kate Bishop: Learning about trust.

Kazi: [translating for Maya] “You rely too much on technology.”
Clint Barton: Well, my go-to weapon is two sticks and a string, so.
Kazi: No, she means your hearing aid. “You might find you’re better off without it.”
Clint Barton: Yeah, sometimes I think that very same thing.

Clint Barton: [referring to Kate] Now, the suit. She put it on by accident. She didn’t know what it means. She’s not Ronin. Look at her. She’s nine. And spoiled rotten.

Kazi: [translating for Maya] “Just because she’s not the Ronin doesn’t mean that Ronin’s not back.”
Clint Barton: That’s just a rumor.
Kazi: [translating for Maya] “How do you know?”
Clint Barton: Because he’s dead.

Kazi: [referring to Black Widow killing Ronin] “So Ronin is dead, and the person who killed him is dead. That’s convenient. How do you know this?”
Clint Barton: Because I was there.
Kazi: [translating for Maya] “You’re lying.”

Clint Barton: [to Kate] Listen. No, now’s not the time to be scared. We’re going to get out of this. You go back to living your life, I’ll go back to my family. You’re going to harness that over-confidence of yours, okay? This ridiculous over-confidence, you remember that one?

Clint Barton: We need a car.
Kate Bishop: Oh, can we take this one? Man, this thing’s beautiful.
Clint Barton: I’m not smashing a ’72 Challenger. Come on. Youth.

Clint Barton: Get over here, I need you to drive.
Kate Bishop: What? I don’t know how to drive.
Clint Barton: Come over here.
Kate Bishop: [Clint hears muffled noise as his hearing aid was smashed] No. You, you drive. I shoot.
Clint Barton: I’m not hearing you. You drive, okay?

Clint Barton: We’re out of regular arrows.
Kate Bishop: What do you mean? Oh, my God! Trick arrows?

Clint Barton: [referring to the arrows] Definitely not this one.
Kate Bishop: Alright, you don’t have to say “definitely” like that.
Clint Barton: Not this one. This is too dangerous.
Kate Bishop: This one fine? I’m using this one.

Clint Barton: Hey, be careful!
Kate Bishop: I was born careful.
Clint Barton: They’re not regular arrows.

Kate Bishop: Play-Doh arrow?
Clint Barton: Hit their wheels with the putty arrow!
Kate Bishop: Oh. Great idea. I’ll do that as soon as you label these damn things.

Kate Bishop: There four are arrows more dangerous than that one?!

Kate Bishop: A plunger arrow? What is the trick? That it’s completely useless?

Clint Barton: And the Challenger gets totaled anyway.

Clint Barton: Here, take out that truck. Aim high. Bring the arrow down on him.
Kate Bishop: I don’t even know waht the plan is. This is just a normal arrow.
Clint Barton: I have no idea what you’re saying. Just going to assume you’re on board.

Kate Bishop: A USB arrow? What am I supposed to do with this? God, I hope he’s got a dongle arrow to make this useful.

Kate Bishop: [as they’re holding onto the top of a subway train] Now I get the whole plunger arrow thing!

Clint Barton: You’re not wrong. Call yourself one of the world’s greatest archers.
Kate Bishop: Oh, my God. Do you really think so? I won’t lie, I wasn’t sure how I’d do under all that pressure.

Kate Bishop: [text to Clint] “Good thing they call you HawkEYE and not HawkEAR.”

Kate Bishop: Look, I know this may sound weird, but I’ve dreamed of this for as long as I can remember. My dad was fearless. And his whole life was about helping people. When I put that suit on, I thought, “This is it. This is the moment I become who I’m supposed to be.”
Clint Barton: I remember the day, I thought the same thing.

Clint Barton: You know, it comes with a price.
Kate Bishop: What does?
Clint Barton: This life you want to live. To really help people. I mean, try to help people anyway. Comes with a lot of sacrifices. And some things you’ll lose, forever.
Kate Bishop: Well, there’s also things you gain. Like trick arrows, and a cool costume.

Kate Bishop: I’ve been thinking about your branding issue. You need a more recognizable costume.
Clint Barton: You realize that my job for the last twenty years was to be not recognizable, right?
Kate Bishop: Well, you’ve officially failed at that.

Kate Bishop: [to Clint] You can’t say who Ronin is because it’s someone close to you, isn’t it? It’s your job to keep their secret.

Clint Barton: There are several reasons why I’d never wear a flashy costume. My job is to be, number one, a ghost. Number two, my wife would divorce me if I put something like this on. And number three, I’m not a role model.

Clint Barton: I’m sorry, Kate. I’m not a role model to anyone. Never have been.
Kate Bishop: What? Yes, you are. You are. You came here. You left your family at Christmas because you thought some stranger was going to get hurt. You stuck around even though I screwed up. And now you’re stuck. Whether you like it or not.

Kate Bishop: [to Clint] As far as I’m concerned, we’re in this together.

Clint Barton: You’re going to have to name this dog, you know.
Kate Bishop: Sure. Little Old Caesar? Dogfather? Sir Dog of Pizza? Pizza Dog?

Kate Bishop: Sounds like a lot of drama. Which is why you should never get involved in organized crime.

Clint Barton: It’s pretty upsetting to think there might be stuff from the Avengers Compound floating around out there.

Clint Barton: So, you still think Jack is involved somehow?
Kate Bishop: Yes. There’s too many coincidences. He was at the auction that night. And yesterday, he offered me a butterscotch.
Clint Barton: Not exactly a crime.
Kate Bishop: And when I tried to stab him in the face to prove he was lying, he parried like a pro.
Clint Barton: You tried to stab your mother’s fiancé in the face?

Clint Barton: Jeez, this is a home?
Kate Bishop: Yeah. My great, great, great, great grandfather built the building. I tried to swing from that very chandelier and broke my arm. So, yeah, pretty impressive family, all the way around.
Clint Barton: Wow. Impressive.
