The Falcon, the Witch, and the Soldier s1e3: Power Broker
---
Location: Madripoor
"Jesus Christ Madripoor has changed," Bucky says in shock.
"When was the last time you went?" Gabrielle asks.
"Uh..." Bucky trails off. "'75. I think."
"Yeah, I think it's been a few years," Gabrielle teases.
SAM: We have to do something about this. I'm the only one who looks like a pimp.
"Why do I have to look like a pimp?" Sam complains.
ZEMO: Only an American would assume a fashion-forward Black man looks like a pimp. You look exactly like the man you're supposed to be playing. The sophisticated, charming African rake named Conrad Mack, aka the Smiling Tiger.
SAM: He even has a bad nickname. Hell, he does look like me, though.
ZEMO: You smell this?
SAM: Yeah, what is that? Acid?
ZEMO: Madripoor. No matter what happens, we have to stay in character. Our lives depend on it.
"Quite literally," Gabrielle mutters.
ZEMO: There's no margin for error. High Town's that way. Not a bad place if you wanna visit, but Low Town's the other way.
SAM: Let me guess. We don't have any friends in High Town.
"Never do," Bucky says. Steve looks at him questioningly. "Stevie, I've been in this business for 70 years. Granted, I was mind-controlled for all of it, but still. You never have friends in High Town."
(THUNDER RUMBLING)
(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)
ZEMO: Here we are.
ZEMO: (IN RUSSIAN, SUBTITLED) Готовы подчиниться... Зимы? (Ready to comply... Winters?)
MAN: Are those the Winters?
BARTENDER: Hello, gentlemen. Wasn't expecting you, Smiling Tiger.
ZEMO: His plans changed. We have business to do with Selby.
BARTENDER: The usual?
"That's fucking disgusting," Rocket grimaces. "And I've seen some gross shit."
ZEMO: Ah. Smiling Tiger, your favorite.
SAM: I love these.
ZEMO: Cheers, Conrad.
(GLASSES CLINK)
SAM: (GRUNTS) Mmm. Mmm.
Everyone laughs at Sam's reaction.
MAN: I got word from on high. You ain't welcome here.
