Always sumthin' odd about the Limeys...

Now you listen to me and you listen good -- I made SHIELD, Junior! And I'll be damned if I let some snot-nosed punk recruit like you come along and do a victory dance over my body!

Some of us might die today. But what I'm asking ya to do is fight with everything you've got -- goin' up against an enemy of unknown power. And I want each and every one of you to know -- I've never been prouder of any force I've led into battle.

Who were you expecting, Parker... Santa Clause? My apologies for yanking you out of class. I'm all sorts of torn up about it... Now the point: there's a matter of national security needs tending to.

The world's a strange place these days -- you read the papers. America ain't much into the idea of jumping into conflicts that don't directly involve it, and what stuff it is in is deep. It don't much have the time for extracurricular activities if you get my meaning...

Hey, I'll tell ya what... you don't tell me what's "necessary," an' I won't put my boot heel in yer backside. Deal?

All right, all right... enough with this! Lemme clue you in on something, "Poindexter"... there's all kinds of pain in this world... a cigar being put out in the palm of yer hand... German hamstring torture... daytime talk shows... but listening to your jabbering is giving me a migraine that Nazi artillery never induced! Carry on, men... and don't screw it up this time!

I still got one eye, Jonesy, I'm not blind.

So, you're pretty much %$&*ed, huh?.
