• [seeing Tony Stark, in partial Iron Man armor, sitting in a giant rooftop donut display] 

  Nick Fury : Sir, I'm gonna have to ask you to exit the donut.

• Tony Stark : Well, then, you must have known my father better than I did.

  Nick Fury : As a matter of fact, I did. He was one of the founding members of S.H.I.E.L.D.

  Tony Stark : ...Wait, WHAT?

• Nick Fury : You've been very busy. You made your girl your CEO, you're giving away all your stuff. You let your friend fly away with your suit. Now, if I know better...

  Tony Stark : [interrupts]  You don't know better. I didn't give it to him. He took it.

  Nick Fury : Whoa, whoa, whoa. He took it? You're Iron Man and he just took it? The little brother walked in there, kicked your ass and took your suit? Is that possible?

  Natasha Romanoff : Well, according to Mr. Stark's database security guidelines, there are redundancies to prevent unauthorized usage.

  Tony Stark : What do you want from me?

  Nick Fury : What do we want from you? Uh-uh. What do you want from me? You have become a problem, a problem I have to deal with. Contrary to your belief, you are not the center of my universe. I have bigger problems in the southwest region to deal with. Hit him!

  [Natalia injects Tony in his neck] 

  Tony Stark : [groans]  Oh God, are you gonna steal my kidney and sell it? Could you please not do anything awful for five seconds? What did she just do to me?

  Nick Fury : What did we just do *for* you? That's lithium dioxide. It's gonna take the edge off. We're trying to get you back to work.

  Tony Stark : Give me a couple boxes of that. I'll be right as rain.

  Natasha Romanoff : It's not a cure, it just abates the symptoms.

  Nick Fury : Doesn't look like it's gonna be an easy fix.

• Nick Fury : That thing in your chest is based on unfinished technology...

  Tony Stark : No, it's finished - it's just never been particularly effective until I miniaturized it and put it in my...

  Nick Fury : No, Howard said the arc reactor was a stepping stone to something greater. He was about to kick off an energy race that was going to dwarf the arms race. He was on to something big, something so big it was going to make the arc reactor look like a triple-A battery.

  Tony Stark : Just him, or was Anton Vanko in on this?

  Nick Fury : Anton Vanko was the other side of that coin - Anton saw it as a way to get rich, and when your father found out he had him deported. When the russians found out he couldn't deliver they shipped his ass of to Siberia. He spent the next twenty years in a vodka-fueled rage, not quite the environment you'd want to raise a kid in - the son you had the misfortune of crossing paths with in Monaco.

• Nick Fury : [To Tony Stark]  I've got my eye on you.

• Nick Fury : What do you remember about your father?

  Tony Stark : He was cold, calculating, never told me he loved me, never even told me he liked me, so it's a bit hard for me to digest that he said the whole future is riding on me thing, I don't get that! You're talking about a man whose happiest day of his life was shipping me off to boarding school.

  Nick Fury : That's not true.

• Tony Stark : Trust me, I know. I'm good at this stuff. I've been looking for a suitable replacement for palladium. I've tried every combination, every permutation of every known element.

  Nick Fury : Well, I'm here to tell you, you haven't tried them all.

• Tony Stark : [to Nick Fury]  I'm sorry. I don't wanna get on the wrong foot. Do I look at the patch or the eye? Honest, I'm a bit hung over. I'm not sure if you're real or if I'm having...

  Nick Fury : [cuts him off]  I am very real. I'm the realest person you're ever gonna meet.
