Quotes 

• Howard Stark : What the hell do you think of me?

  Peggy Carter : I think you're a man out for his own gain no matter who you're charging. You are constantly finding holes to slither your way into in the hope of finding loose change, only to cry when you're bitten by another snake. You're a man who says "I love you" whilst looking over a woman's shoulder into the mirror. Steve Rogers dedicated his mind, his body, his life to the SSR and to this country, not to your bank account. I made the same pledge, but I'm not as good as Steve was. I forgot my pledge running around for you like a corporate spy. So thank you, Howard, for reminding me who Steve was and what I aspire to be. For all I know, you did steal your inventions.

• Howard Stark : All of my inventions are in your lab.

  Peggy Carter : Then why is your mustache so sad?

• Peggy Carter : Get in.

  Howard Stark : What? I hate small spaces. What if the chain snaps and I fall to my death?

  Peggy Carter : Don't worry. I'll never reveal that Howard Stark's dead body is lying rotting in the bottom of a dumbwaiter shaft.

• Howard Stark : [Howard asked Peggy to steal one of his inventions from the SSR lab]  You get it?

  Peggy Carter : What's in the vial?

  Howard Stark : What vial?

  Peggy Carter : *What* is in the vial?

  Howard Stark : You opened it. You know how, uh, dangerous that could be

  Peggy Carter : What's in the vial, Howard?

  Howard Stark : Okay, you're angry.

  Peggy Carter : I'm not angry. I'm just curious. What's in the vial?

  Howard Stark : You know. We both know.

  Peggy Carter : I don't. Tell me.

  Howard Stark : Steve Rogers' blood.

  [Peggy slugs Howard] 

• Peggy Carter : [Peggy is looking for Stark]  Howard!

  [Hears giggling behind a door, knocks] 

  Lorraine : Yes? You just woke me.

  Howard Stark : [Pops up behind her]  Not to worry. This is my cousin Peggy. Peggy, Lorraine.

  Lorraine : Don't you think your cousin looks just like Howard Stark?

  Peggy Carter : My cousin is a lot shorter.

  Howard Stark : And much better-looking!

• Howard Stark : You don't have to get changed with the door closed. I thought we were friends.

• Howard Stark : I grew up on the lower East Side. My father sold fruit. My mother sewed shirtwaists for a factory. Let me tell you, you don't get to climb the American ladder without picking up some bad habits on the way. There's a ceiling for certain types of people based on how much money your parents have, your social class, your religion, your sex. And the only way to break through that ceiling sometimes is to lie, so that's my natural instinct to lie. I shouldn't have lied to you. For that, trust me, I am truly sorry.

• Peggy Carter : [Developing film]  She seems... uninhibited.

  Howard Stark : The first 10 or so might not be suitable for your eyes.

• Howard Stark : [Cheerily talking to Peggy and Jarvis]  So, how are you two getting along? Peggy tried Anna's goulash? Peggy, Jarvis know you can do 107 one-armed pushups?

  Peggy Carter : Howard, you came back to New York City risking notice from every American intelligence agency.

  Howard Stark : Hmm.

  [Shrugs] 

  Peggy Carter : WHY?

  Howard Stark : Let's get back to my place. We'll have some Sherry. I'll explain everything.

  Peggy Carter : [Sees something out the window]  Stop the car.

  Edwin Jarvis : The residence is only a block away. What's the matter?

  Peggy Carter : See that man waiting for the bus? That's Agent Yauch. You see that Sedan parked by the fire hydrant? That is Agent Henry. Make a left.

  [They turn] 

  Howard Stark : [sighs]  That was my least-known property. A dummy corporation holds the lease.

  Edwin Jarvis : And another dummy corporation owns that company.

  Howard Stark : The only people who know about that penthouse besides me and Jarvis are Lana Turner, Jane Russell...

  Peggy Carter : [Cuts him off]  Russell You do realize that my work colleague Ray Krzeminski was killed while you were out gallivanting?

  Howard Stark : I was not *gallivanting*.

  Peggy Carter : The SSR blames you, and they're out for blood. We must assume they're about to uncover all of your residences, your bank accounts, your corporations. So perhaps turning up unexpectedly was not your best plan.

  Howard Stark : So, where can I hide?

  Peggy Carter : [Thinks for a moment]  God, help me. Take a right up ahead.

  Howard Stark : [They stop in front of Peggy's home]  Ah. The Griffith. How's Miriam?
