[Sam hands Karli's body to medics before approaching the government officials]
Ayla : Sam, thank you so much, from all of us.
Government Official : Sincerely. You did your part in dealing with those terrorists. Now we'll do ours.
Sam Wilson : Are you still going forward with resetting the borders?
Prime Minister Lacont : Our peacekeeping troops will begin relocating people soon. The terrorists only set us back a bit.
Sam Wilson : You have to stop calling them terrorists.
Government Official : What else would we call them?
Sam Wilson : Your peacekeeping troops carrying weapons are forcing millions of people into settlements around the world, right? What do you think those people are gonna call you? These labels, 'terrorist,' 'refugee,' thug,' they're often used to get around the question, why?
Prime Minister Lacont : Those settlements that happened five years ago, do you think it's fair for governments to have to support them?
Sam Wilson : Yes.
Government Official : And the people who reappeared, only to find someone else living in their family home, they just end up homeless? Look, I get it, but you have no idea how complicated this situation is.
Sam Wilson : You know what? You're right. And that's a good thing. We finally have a common struggle now. Think about that. For once, all the people who've been begging, and I mean, literally begging for you to feel how hard any given day is. Now you know. How did it feel to be helpless? Now if you could remember what it was like to be helpless, and face a force so powerful it could erase half the planet, you would know that you're about to have the exact same impact. This isn't about easy decisions, Senator.
Government Official : You just don't understand.
Sam Wilson : I'm a Black man carrying the stars and stripes. What don't I understand? Every time I pick this up, I know there are millions of people out there who are gonna hate me for it. Even now, here, I feel it. The stares, the judgment. And there's nothin' I can do to change it. Yet I'm still here. No super serum, no blond hair, or blue eyes. The only power I have is that I believe we can do better. We can't demand that people step up if we don't meet them halfway. Look, you control the banks. Shit, you can move borders! You can knock down a forest with an email, you can feed a million people with a phone call. But the question is, who's in the room when you're making those decisions? Hmmm? Is it the people you're gonna impact? Or is it just more people like you?
[pause]
Sam Wilson : I mean, this girl died trying to stop you, and no one has stopped for one second to ask why. You've gotta do better, Senator. You've gotta step up. Because if you don't, the next Karli will. And you don't wanna see 2.0. People believed in her cause so much, that they helped her defy the strongest governments in the world. Why do you think that is? Look, you people have just as much power as an insane god... or a misguided teenager. The question you have to ask yourself is, 'How are you going to use it?'

Falcon : [Talking about African-Americans] We built this country, bled for it. I'm not going to let anybody tell me I can't fight for it. Not after what everybody before me went through.

Secret Service Chief : I'm sorry, wait. Who are you?
Sam Wilson : I'm Captain America.
Secret Service Chief : I thought Captain America was on the Moon..?

Falcon : [over the radio] Do I hear Sharon?
Bucky Barnes : Unfortunately
Sharon Carter : Hey, Sam. I thought I'd get the band back together.
Falcon : hank you. You're risking a lot coming here.
Sharon Carter : I hear pardons aren't all they're cracked up to be anyway.
Bucky Barnes : Depends on the therapist.
