Steve Rogers : There's not gonna be a safe landing, but I can try and force it down.
Peggy Carter : I'll-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. I gotta put her in the water.
Peggy Carter : Please don't do this. W-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 gonna die. Peggy, this is my choice.
Steve Rogers : [turns the plane toward earth] Peggy...
Peggy Carter : I'm here.
Steve Rogers : I'm gonna need a rain check on that dance.
Peggy Carter : All right. A week next Saturday at The Stork Club.
Steve Rogers : You've 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.

[Colonel Phillips is nearby as a tear drops down Peggy's face]
Peggy Carter : Steve?
[Colonel Phillips walks off. Peggy is alone, silently sobbing]
-
Peggy Carter : How do you feel?
Steve Rogers : Taller.
-
Peggy Carter : You have no idea how to talk to a woman, do you?
Steve Rogers : I think 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.
-
[Steve starts yelling]
Peggy Carter : Shut it down!
Abraham Erskine : Kill the reactor, Mr. Stark! Turn it off! Kill it! Kill the reactor!
Steve Rogers : [from within the chamber] No! Don't! I can do this!

Steve Rogers : Dr. Erskine said that the serum wouldn't just effect my muscles, it would effect my cells. Create a protective system of regeneration and healing. Which means, um, 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 : [to soldiers in training] Faster, ladies! Come on! My GRANDMOTHER has more life in her, God rest her soul. MOVE IT!

Peggy Carter : Gentlemen, I'm Agent Carter. I supervise all operations of this division.
Gilmore Hodge : What's with the accent, Queen Victoria? Thought I was signing up for the U.S. Army.
Peggy Carter : What's your name, soldier?
Gilmore Hodge : Gilmore Hodge, your Majesty.
Peggy Carter : Step forward, Hodge.
[Hodge steps forward]
Peggy Carter : Put your right foot forward.
Gilmore Hodge : Are we dancing? Cause I got a few moves I know you'll like.
[Peggy punches him in the face]
-
Col. Chester Phillips : [looking over the men] You're not REALLY thinking about picking Rogers, are you?
Abraham Erskine : I wasn't just THINKING about it. He is a clear choice.
Col. Chester Phillips : When you brought a ninety-pound asthmatic onto my army base, I let it slide. I thought "What the hell, maybe he'd be useful to you like a gerbil." Never thought you'd pick him.
Peggy Carter : [to soldiers doing push-ups] UP!
Col. Chester Phillips : You put a needle in that kid's arm it's gonna go right through him.
Peggy Carter : [to the soldiers doing jumping jacks] Come on, girls!
Col. Chester Phillips : [looking at Steve's best effort but belabored execution] Look at that. He's makin' me cry.
Abraham Erskine : I am looking for qualities beyond the physical.
Col. Chester Phillips : Do you know how long it took to set up this project? Of all the groveling I had to do in front of Senator What's-his-name's committee?
Abraham Erskine : Yes, I'm well aware of your efforts.
Col. Chester Phillips : Then throw me a bone. Hodge passed every test we gave him. He's big, he's fast, he obeys orders - he's a soldier.
Abraham Erskine : He's a bully.
Col. Chester Phillips : You don't win wars with niceness, doctor. You win wars with guts.
[the Colonel pulls the pin of a grenade and throws it among the recruits]
Col. Chester Phillips : GRENADE!

Peggy Carter : Tell me, did you truly like your friend? Did you respect him?
Steve Rogers : [surprised] Yes!
Peggy Carter : Well then, stop blaming yourself! Give your friend the respect of making his own decisions!
-
Steve Rogers : [after one of Steve's "Captain America" shows] What are you doing here?
Peggy Carter : Officially I'm not here at all. That was quite a performance.
Steve Rogers : Yeah, uh... I had to improvise a little bit. The crowds I'm used to are usually more, uh...
[Struggles to find a word]
Peggy Carter : 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 me stuck in the 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?
[Steve looks like he's about to say something, then closes his mouth]
Peggy Carter : What?
Steve Rogers : You know for the longest time I dreamed about coming overseas and being on the front lines. Serving my country. I finally get everything I wanted, and I'm wearing tights.
-
Steve Rogers : [after Howard and Peggy steal a plane to get Steve across the front lines] You know, you two are going to be in a lot of trouble when you land.
Peggy Carter : And you won't?
Steve Rogers : Where I'm goin', if anybody yells at me I can just shoot 'em.
-
Col. Chester Phillips : Agent Carter, coordinate with MI6. I want every allied eyeball looking for that main Hydra base.
Peggy Carter : What about us?
Col. Chester Phillips : We are gonna set a fire under Johann Schmidt's ass. 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.
-
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! You told me you thought I was meant for more than this. Did you mean that?
Peggy Carter : Every word.
Steve Rogers : Then you gotta let me go.
Peggy Carter : I can do more than that...
-
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 : 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?
-
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 a 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!
-
Peggy Carter : Did you have something against running away?
Steve Rogers : You start running, they'll never let you stop. You stand up, push back. Can't say no forever, right?
