• Christine Everheart : Mr. Stark! Christine Everheart, Vanity Fair magazine. Can I ask you a couple of questions?

  Hogan : [whispers to Stark]  She's cute.

  Tony Stark : [whispers to Hogan]  She's alright.

  [turns around] 

  Tony Stark : Hi!

  Christine Everheart : Hi.

  Tony Stark : Yeah. Okay, go.

  Christine Everheart : You've been called the Da Vinci of our time. What do you say to that?

  Tony Stark : Absolutely ridiculous. I don't paint.

  Christine Everheart : And what do you say to your other nickname, the Merchant of Death?

  Tony Stark : That's not bad. Let me guess... Berkeley?

  Christine Everheart : Brown, actually.

  Tony Stark : Well, Ms. Brown. It's an imperfect world, but it's the only one we got. I guarantee you the day weapons are no longer needed to keep the peace, I'll start making bricks and beams for baby hospitals.

  Christine Everheart : Rehearse that much?

  Tony Stark : Every night in front of the mirror before bedtime.

  Christine Everheart : I can see that.

  Tony Stark : I'd like to show you firsthand.

  Christine Everheart : [exasperated]  All I'm looking for is a straight answer.

  Tony Stark : OK, here's a straight answer. My old man had a philosophy: peace means having a bigger stick than the other guy.

  Christine Everheart : That's a great line, coming from a guy selling the sticks.

  Tony Stark : My father helped defeat Nazis. He worked on the Manhattan Project. A lot of people, including your professors at Brown, would call that being a hero.

  Christine Everheart : And a lot of people would also call that war-profiteering.

  Tony Stark : Tell me,

  [removing his shades] 

  Tony Stark : do you plan to report on the millions we've saved by advancing medical technology or kept from starvation with our intelli-crops? All those breakthroughs, military funding, honey.

  Christine Everheart : Have you ever lost an hour of sleep in your life?

  Tony Stark : I'd be prepared to lose a few with you.

• [Stark's car, the winner of a race, arrives at the airport] 

  Tony Stark : I thought I lost you back there!

  Hogan : You did, sir.
