## Sam Wilson / Captain America

* You asked for me. Here I am.
* Let's get this over with; I got shit to do today.
* Don't make me look up words, Joaquin.
* You already have one Captain America in custody. You want another?
* Have you been feeling like yourself lately?
* I know what it's like to feel you have something to prove. Everyone only seeing one thing. But when showing there's more to you, it's not about when times are easy. It's about moments like this.
* Well... You're waiting for an apology, we'll be here a while.
* Okay. You want me?! Come and get me!
* I should've taken that serum, Bucky was full of shit.
* Ross! We both know you can take me out with one punch. But I don't think you wanna do that. Now I know you've done some terrible things. Now, I might be crazy... but I think you're trying to change. Now is the time to prove it to the world. Prove it to Betty.
* Look, if we can't see the good in each other, we've already lost the fight.
* [If] I'm not on point... I feel like I let down everyone else who was fighting for a seat at that table. That's pressure, man. It weighs on you. It makes you wonder if you'll ever just be... enough.

## Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross / Red Hulk

* You and I haven't always agreed on how much... lattitude enhanced individuals deserve. But what you've accomplished has given me reason to reconsider. Which is why I want you, Captain America, to help me rebuild the Avengers.
* Sam, you shouldn't even be in these situations; you're not Steve Rogers.
* The longer I stay here, the weaker I look.
* Well, I don't want a variable out there I can't control. Get a team. Pick 'em up, bring 'em in.
* I'm not going home empty-handed. If only one country's going to control Adamantium, it's going to be us.
* Because I was dying, Goddammit! Because my heart was failing! No one could figure it out until he did. These things kept me alive, and in return, I gave him hope that he might get his life back.
* I have dedicated my entire life to serving this country. The one person who matters doesn't seem to understand. Betty never forgave me for sending the army after Banner. I had to survive so that my daughter knew that there was more to her father. That I'm the same man that used to take her to see the cherry blossoms.
* [referring to his prison] Good, solid walls, these.

## Samuel Sterns / The Leader

* Well done, Captain. But you're not going to like what's coming next...
* You let me rot in this prison. And it was my curse to watch your betrayal written in probabilities. I'm making my own choices now. So many surprises left... When I'm done, everyone will know just who you are, and Betty will despise you even more. Goodbye, Mr. President.
* Please don't be boring!
* You're a fascinating problem. But soon, you'll be off the board so you don't surprise me again.
* All that hatred you try to hide, all the ugliness... It's still there, Ross. Smoldering behind the eyes.
* Captain America. Would you do me the kindness of counseling a bitter man at the end of his rope?
* Ross turned me into a monster. It's only right that I do the same thing to him. Why aren't you smiling?

## Others

* Isaiah Bradley: No shield. No vibranium wings. I wanna see if he's got three in him.
* Sidewinder: The buyer told me everything. He mentioned that, if you survived the grenade, there was a 77-percent chance you'd try to talk me down. Hm. Look at that.
* Ozaki: Diplomacy must be hard for you -- a man in a country so used to taking whatever it wants by force.
* Sidewinder: How do you think a man with Ross's temperament will deal with being caught in a trap?
* Press Correspondent: Since when were they red?

## Dialogue

    Isaiah: In a fight, the last hit--
    Sam: --is the only hit that matters, I know, shut up. Thanks.
    Sam: Remember, Ross threw me in the Raft. Hounded me, Steve and Natasha for years.
    Isaiah: So why are you working for him? As long as you do, Captain America stands for people like him.
    President Thaddeus Ross: Thanks for coming in. Welcome to the White House.
    Sam: Thank you for the invite, Sir. I have to admit, I'm still getting used to the new look.
    President Ross: I know, yeah. Well, they said "lose the mustache or lose the election".
    President Ross: I represent all Americans now. Hell, half of 'em wouldn't even be here without the Avengers. The country needs this.
    Sam: And when we disagree on how to manage a situation, what happens then?
    President Ross: We figure it out together.
    Sam: Isaiah sacrificed everything for this country. He's a soldier. A patriot. He had no reason to do this--
    Ruth Bat-Seraph: He had every reason! Bradley was imprisoned for rescuing his own men, experimented on for thirty years! The things done to him are enough to make anyone snap.
    Sam: Sir, you invited me here to work together, so let's work together.
    President Ross: I'm afraid that offer expired when your friend tried to kill me!
    Isaiah: You wanna help me?
    Sam: Of course.
    Isaiah: Don't come back.
    Sidewinder: You're desperate without your tech.
    Sam: Nope. Just a little meaner.
    Sam: Ross told me to stay out of this...
    Joaquin Torres: Enh. He's just the President of the United States.
    Ruth: I won't be able to guarantee your safety.
    Isaiah: Safety ain't all it's cracked up to be.
    Joaquin: Being right always go like this?
    Sam: Most of the time.
    Leila Taylor: Mr. President, this is extremely dangerous. If a war breaks out--
    President Ross: I was a wartime general, now I'm a wartime President.
    Sam: If you break out of Allenwood, I'll find you.
    Sidewinder: When I break out, Captain, you won't walk away alive.
    Sam: How many alien invasions did [Steve] stop, again?
    Bucky Barnes: Two.
    Sam: Two! Wow... What made me think I could follow that?
    Sam: Steve made a mistake.
    Bucky: No, he didn't. He gave you that shield, not because you're the strongest, but because you're you. And you think if you had that serum, you'd be able to protect all the people you care about? Steve had it, and he couldn't. You're a human being, and you're doing your best. Steve gave people something to believe in. But you? You give them something to aspire to.
    Ruth: He's taller in real life. Nice smile, too. Good amount of teeth, great posture...
    Sam: He's 110 years old.
    Ruth: ...I can work with that.
    Dennis Dunphy: Who... are... you?
    Sterns: Isn't it obvious? I'm the hero.
    Sam: (after luring Red Hulk to the cherry blossoms) Remember this place? You used to come here with Betty!
    (Red Hulk roars ferociously at Sam as a response)
    Sam: (to himself, hanging his head down and sighing) That didn't work.
    Sam: How are the digs?
    Ross: Intentionally uncomfortable.
    Sam: I heard the food hasn't gotten any better, either.
    Ross: You heard right.
    Ross: I guess I have to give you a rain-check on that walk.
    Betty Ross: It's alright. We could just sit and talk for a little while.
    Ross: I'd like that.
    Betty: Me, too.
    Joaquin: Where I grew up, I only ever got to see heroes online or on TV. They always feel so far away. And I kept thinking, maybe if I got out of Miami -- y'know, maybe one day I could be...
    Sam: Don't say Ant-Man.
    Joaquin: No, man. I wanted to be you. Sam Wilson.
    Sam: Well...
    Joaquin: Because that guy? That guy won't ever give up. That pressure, that responsibility you're talking about? I want that, too, man.
    Sterns: You wanna know what's funny?
    Sam: I'm not in the mood for your jokes. You killed a lot of good men trying to get your revenge. Trust me, we don't have the same sense of humor.
    Sterns: We share the same world, don't we? This world you would die to save. It's coming. I've seen it in the probabilities. Seen it plain as day. All you heroes protecting this world. Do you think you're the only ones? Do you think this the only world? We'll see what happens when you have to protect this place from the others.
