Quotes 

• Edwin Jarvis : You're very fortunate that I ignored your instructions.

  Peggy Carter : [Sarcastic]  Oh, you're so right. How I managed to stay alive before I met you, I have no idea.

  Edwin Jarvis : I can't tell if you're being arrogant... or ignorant.

  Peggy Carter : Both, I imagine.

  Edwin Jarvis : Your line of work requires support. People who care about your wellbeing, who will be there to stitch up your wounds.

  Peggy Carter : If I allow people to get close to me, I'm putting them in danger.

  Edwin Jarvis : So your solution is to remove yourself from the world you wish to protect. Where's the sense in that?

  [Only now realizes that his hand is on her knee near the wound he just stitched up. He quickly removes it] 

  Edwin Jarvis : There is not a man or woman, no matter how fit he or she may be, who is capable of carrying the entire world on their shoulders.

  Peggy Carter : Steve was.

  Edwin Jarvis : From what Mr. Stark has told me, Captain Rodgers relied heavily on you. For courage, strategy, and moral guidance. You were his support. Your desire to help others is noble, but I doubt you'll find much success unless you allow others to help you.

• Peggy Carter : I told you I don't need your help.

  Edwin Jarvis : An ideal butler provides service without being asked.

  Peggy Carter : Oh! Put it back. I need to drive this thing out of here.

  Edwin Jarvis : [Long suffering]  Won't be a moment.

• Hugh Jones : I didn't know our government had such good taste in secretaries. What's your name darling?

  Peggy Carter : Agent.

• Peggy Carter : So, I've got two foreign agents with no voice boxes fighting over a milk truck full of experimental implosives.

  Edwin Jarvis : Just another day at the office.

• Peggy Carter : [Calling Jarvis at home]  I don't have long so listen very carefully. I need you to dispose of Howard's car.

  Edwin Jarvis : I beg your pardon.

  Peggy Carter : The SSR are looking into Roxxon at this very moment. That car sustained damage at the site, and it's likely to be teeming with vita radiation. Make it disappear.

  Edwin Jarvis : Very well.

  [Looks at his watch] 

  Edwin Jarvis : Let's see, the linens come out of the wash in thirty minutes...

  Peggy Carter : Now.

  Edwin Jarvis : Fine. I shall forego the linens.

• Peggy Carter : [In the milk truck, holding a gun to Brannis' head]  Comfortable back there, Mr. Jarvis?

  Edwin Jarvis : [Sitting in the back]  Perfectly, thank you. These racks of explosives are distracting me from the smell of stale milk.

• Roger Dooley : [Carter has just walked in on the team looking over photographs and is worried they've spotted her in disguise]  Carter. Come here for a second. C'mere. C'mere. C'mere. Settle a bet for us.

  [He holds up a photograph and points to a figure in it] 

  Roger Dooley : Is that Joe DiMaggio?

  Peggy Carter : [Relieved, then decides to play dumb]  I don't follow boxing.

• Radio Announcer : We now return to the Captain America adventure programme, as our hero's defenseless sweetheart finds herself in the clutches of evil.

  Nazi (Radio Actor) : American women are so weak! You are coming with us!

  Betty Carver : If only Captain America were here to rescue me!

  [Peggy Carter, who has been approaching Sheldon McFee from behind, steps on a floorboard, which creaks. Sheldon McFee turns around slowly] 

  Captain America : Miss Carver isn't going anywhere with you, Nazi scum.

  Nazi (Radio Actor) : Seize him!

  Captain America : Unhand her!

  [as he speaks, Peggy Carter engages Sheldon McFee in a fight just as Captain America takes on the Nazis in the radio programme. The real fight involves sounds that are uncannily like the ones on the radio] 

  Betty Carver : Hit 'em again, Cap!

  [Sheldon McFee has Peggy Carter in a chokehold, but she breaks out of his grasp by hitting him on the head with a glass cup just as the radio programme imitates the sound of breaking glass] 

  Captain America : Had enough yet?

  [Peggy Carter continues hitting Sheldon McFee as the radio programme imitates the sounds of the fight by breaking lobsters apart. The fight ends when Peggy manages to flip McFee onto a table, which breaks, and this is paralleled by a box being rattled on the programme] 

  Captain America : Are you all right, Miss Carver?

  Peggy Carter : [to an unconscious Sheldon McFee]  Is that all you've got? Hello? Mr McFee?

  Betty Carver : [breathily]  Captain America, what would I ever do without you!

  Peggy Carter : [rolls her eyes in exasperation]  Why does this keep happening?

• Peggy Carter : It's so hard getting straight answers out of people nowadays. Whatever happened to a nice cup of tea and a civilized interrogation?
