Quotes 

• Maria Rambeau : You call me 'young lady' again, I'll shove my foot up somewhere it's not supposed to be.

  [awkward silence] 

  Talos : Am I supposed to guess where that is?

  Nick Fury , Carol Danvers : Your ass!

• Carol Danvers : Well, I could use a co-pilot.

  Maria Rambeau : No. No, I can't. I can't leave Monica.

  Monica Rambeau (11 Years Old) : Mommy, it's okay. I can stay with grandma and poppa.

  Maria Rambeau : There's no way I'm going, baby. It's too dangerous.

  Monica Rambeau (11 Years Old) : Testing for new aerospace tech is dangerous. Didn't you used to do that?

  Maria Rambeau : [to Carol]  Your plan is to leave the atmosphere in a craft not designed for the journey, and you anticipate hostile encounters with a technologically superior foreign enemy. Correct?

  [Carol nods] 

  Monica Rambeau (11 Years Old) : That's what I'm saying. You have to go!

  Maria Rambeau : Monica.

  Monica Rambeau (11 Years Old) : You have a chance to fly the coolest mission in the history of missions. And you're going to give it up to sit on the couch and watch Fresh Prince with me? I just think you should consider what kind of example you're setting for your daughter.

• Maria Rambeau : You are Carol Danvers. You were the woman on that black box risking her life to do the right thing. My best friend. Who supported me as a mother and a pilot when no one else did. You were smart, and funny, and a huge pain in the ass. And you were the most powerful person I knew, way before you could shoot fire through your fists.

• Nick Fury : You know you're glowing, right?

  Carol Danvers : I'll explain it later.

  [Carol opens the lunch box, revealing the Tesseract while Fury removes Goose's muzzle] 

  Carol Danvers : Take the Tesseract. Leave the lunch box.

  Nick Fury : Me?

  Carol Danvers : Yes.

  Nick Fury : I'm not touching that thing.

  Carol Danvers : You want me to get you an oven mitt?

  [Goose suddenly reveals tentacles from his mouth and uses them to grab the Tesseract and swallow it. Fury drops Goose] 

  Nick Fury : Whoa!

  [Surprised look on Fury and Maria's faces] 

  Carol Danvers : Get the Skrulls on the Quadjet and go. Take the... Flerken with you.

  [Carol walks out] 

  Maria Rambeau : What about you?

  Carol Danvers : I'll buy you some time!

  [Fury looks at Goose] 

  Nick Fury : I'm picking you up now.

  [Fury picks up Goose] 

  Nick Fury : I'm trusting you not to eat me.

• [Vers walks out of Maria's office after listening to the Black Box recording and realizing that Yon-Rogg abducted her in 1989] 

  Carol Danvers : He lied to me. Everything that I knew was a lie.

  Talos : Now, you understand.

  Carol Danvers : What? What do I understand now?

  Talos : Yon-Rogg killed Mar-Vell. He killed her... 'cause she found out that she was on the wrong side of an unjust war.

  Carol Danvers : No. Your people are terrorists. They kill innocents. I saw the ruins on Torfa.

  Talos : Ruins that the Accusers are responsible for. My people lived as refugees on Torfa. Homeless, ever since we resisted Kree rule and they destroyed our planet. And the handful of us that are left... will be slaughtered next, unless you help me finish what Mar-Vell started. The core that she found would have powered a light-speed ship capable of carrying us to safety. A new home... where the Kree can't reach us.

  Maria Rambeau : Lawson always told us that our work at Pegasus wasn't to fight wars, but to end them.

  Talos : She wanted you to help us find the core.

  Carol Danvers : Well, I already destroyed it.

  Talos : No, you destroyed the engine. The core that powered it is in a remote location. If you help us decode those coordinates, we can find it.

  Carol Danvers : You'll use it to destroy us.

  Talos : [sighing]  We just want a home. You and I lost everything at the hands of the Kree. Can't you see it now? You're not one of them.

  Carol Danvers : You don't know me. You have no idea who I am. I don't even know who I am!

  Maria Rambeau : You are Carol Danvers. You are that woman on the Black Box risking her life to do the right thing. My best friend, who supported me as a mother and a pilot when no one else did. You are smart, and funny, and a huge pain in the ass, and you were the most powerful person I knew. Way before you could shoot fire from your fists. You hear me? Do you hear me?

  [Carol nods and smiles before Monica embraces her] 

  Maria Rambeau : Come here. Come here, girl. I got you.

• Maria Rambeau : Can I ask you something? Do you just turn into anything you want?

  Talos : Ah well, I have to see it first.

  Maria Rambeau : Can you all do it?

  Talos : Physiologically, yeah. But it takes practice and, um, dare I say it, talent to do it well.

  Nick Fury : Can you turn into a cat?

  Talos : What's a cat?

  Maria Rambeau : What about a filing cabinet?

  Talos : Why would I turn into a filing cabinet?

  Nick Fury : A venus fly trap. I'll give you $50 right now if you turn into a venus fly trap.

• [Fury grabs Goose] 

  Nick Fury : That was a close call, huh, Goosey? Huh?

  [Fury laughs while Goose meows loudly] 

  Nick Fury : Those bad guys still in there somewhere?

  [Goose suddenly scratches Fury in his left eye] 

  Nick Fury : Ow! Mother Flerken!

  Maria Rambeau : Are you okay?

  Nick Fury : Yeah. It's just a scratch.

  Talos : No.

• Maria Rambeau : You don't remember anything?

  Carol Danvers : I see... flashes. Little moments. But I can't tell what's real. If I could just piece together what happened that morning... maybe it'll all make sense.

  [pause] 

  Maria Rambeau : You woke me up banging on my door at dawn. Your usual move. Back then, we had to get up so early. The Air Force still wasn't letting women fly combat, so testing Lawson's planes was our only shot at doing something that mattered. You wanted to race to base in your old Mustang, and I wasn't about to argue 'cause I knew my Camaro would dominate. But you cheated, took a shortcut.

  Carol Danvers : Since when is a shortcut cheating?

  Maria Rambeau : Since it violates the predetermined rules of engagement.

  Carol Danvers : I definitely don't remember those.

  Maria Rambeau : Hmm. Of course you don't.

  [they both laugh] 

  Maria Rambeau : When I got to the hangar, Lawson was agitated. She said she had lives to save. She was trying to take the Asis up herself, but you said that...

  Carol Danvers : If there were lives at stake, I would fly the plane.

  Maria Rambeau : Yeah. Yep. Big hero moment. The kind of moment we'd both been waiting for. The Doc was always unique. That's why we liked her. But now you're saying she's from another planet.

  Carol Danvers : I know this must be hard for you.

  Maria Rambeau : Oh, what? This part right here? No. No. Mmm-mmm. Oh, what's hard is losing my best friend in a mission so secret they act like it never even happened. Hard is knowing you were out there somewhere too damn stubborn to die. And now you come up in here after six years, with your supercharged fire hands and you expect me to call you... I don't even know what. Vers? Is that really who you are now?

  Carol Danvers : I don't know.

• Tom the Neighbor : Hi there.

  Carol Danvers : What do you want?

  Tom the Neighbor : Ummm...

  Maria Rambeau : Hey Tom. This is my friend, Carol.

  Tom the Neighbor : Pleased to meet you. Yow! Static electricity out here's no joke. I noted that peculiar bird you got parked by the road, and I was just wondering if you'd mind if I bring the boys over to get a closer looksie?

  Carol Danvers : A closer looksie?

  Tom the Neighbor : Yeah.

  Carol Danvers : To see the bird parked out by the road. You're really working overtime to sell this one, aren't you Talos?

  Maria Rambeau : I'm sorry. Tom, this isn't really a good time. I'll come by tomorrow? Okay?

  Tom the Neighbor : Uhh...

  Maria Rambeau : Okay.

  Talos : You know, you really should be kinder to your neighbors. You never know when you're gonna need to borrow some sugar.

  Talos : Hang on a second, before you go swinging those jazz hands around, making a mess in your friend's house - and... it's a lovely home.

  Maria Rambeau : Oh my God. What the hell?

• Talos : I saw you crush twenty of my best men with your hands bound. I just wanna talk.

  Carol Danvers : Last time we talked, I ended up hanging from my ankles.

  Talos : That was before I knew who you were. Before I knew what made you different from the others. I have an audio recording from Pegasus of your voice from a plane crash six years ago on a device I believe you call a black box.

  Maria Rambeau : They told me it was destroyed in the crash. How'd you get it?

  Talos : She don't understand. Young lady, I have a special skill that kind of allows me to get into places I'm not supposed to be.

• Carol Danvers : [to Talos and Soren]  I'll help you find a home. Finish what Mar-Vell started.

  Monica Rambeau (11 Years Old) : They can stay here with us. Can't they, mom?

  Maria Rambeau : They won't be safe here, baby. Auntie Carol's right. They need their own home.

  Carol Danvers : I'll be back before you know it.

  Monica Rambeau (11 Years Old) : Maybe I could fly up and meet you halfway?

  Nick Fury : Ah, only if you learn to glow like your Auntie Carol.

  Monica Rambeau (11 Years Old) : Or maybe I'll build a spaceship. You don't know.

  Carol Danvers : He doesn't.

  [she laughs as he looks at her indignantly] 

• Talos : I know I don't deserve your trust, but you were our only lead. We discovered that your energy signature matched Mar-Vell's core. Now we know why. If only you knew the importance of it to me. I just need your help decoding the coordinates to Mar-Vell's lab.

  Carol Danvers : Those weren't coordinates. They're state vectors.

  Nick Fury : For orbital positioning and velocity.

  Maria Rambeau : You didn't find her lab on Earth 'cause it's not on Earth.

  Carol Danvers : That was the location on the date of the crash six years ago. If we track its course, we'll find it in orbit right now.

  Maria Rambeau : It's just basic physics.

  Talos : In orbit?

  [to another Skrull] 

  Talos : Was that so difficult to figure out? I mean, you're my science guy, right?

• Maria Rambeau : Is that it? The core?

  Carol Danvers : In her notes, she called it the Tesseract.
