They say that the best weapon is the one you never have to fire. I respectfully disagree. I prefer the weapon you only have to fire once. That's how Dad did it, that's how America does it, and it's worked out pretty well so far. I present to you the newest in Stark Industries' Freedom line. Find an excuse to let one of these off the chain, and I personally guarantee, the bad guys won't even wanna come out of their caves. Ladies and gentlemen, for your consideration... the Jericho. ... I never got to say goodbye to my father. There's questions I would've asked him. I would've asked him how he felt about what his company did, if he was conflicted, if he ever had doubts. Or maybe he was every inch of man we remember from the newsreels. I saw young Americans killed by the very weapons I created to defend them and protect them. And I saw that I had become part of a system that is comfortable with zero-accountability. ... I had my eyes opened. I came to realize that I had more to offer this world than just making things that blow up. And that is why, effective immediately, I am shutting down the weapons manufacturing division of Stark Industries. ... Yeah, I can fly.
Here's a holiday greeting I've been meaning to send to the Mandarin... I just didn't know how to say it until now. My name is Tony Stark and I'm not afraid of you. I know you're a coward. That's why I've just decided that you just died, pal. I'm going to come get the body. There's no politics here, it's just good old-fashioned revenge. There's no Pentagon, it's just you and me! And in the off-chance you're a man, here's my home address. 10-8-80 Malibu Point, 9-0-2-6-5. I'll leave the door unlocked.
