Hammer Industries:Warehouse

Justin walks up to Ivan as he's working, "Hey, hey, hey. Special delivery. Candy-gram." Ivan climbs down the ladder from where he was working. "I brought you something. Oh yeah." Jack brings over a cloth cage and puts it on the table and removes cloth, "We got you the bird, pal." Both of them smiling.

Ivan looks at the bird and states, "This is not my bird."

Justin frowns, "What do you mean? That's the bird. This is the bird. Yeah, pulled a lot of strings to get this bird. This is a great bird."

Jack comments, "It's a beautiful bird."

Justin tells him, "We got this bird all the way from Russia."

Ivan hits the table, telling him, "Hey, man, this is not my bird."

Justin tells him, "Well, listen, even if it's not the bird, I mean, this is a gorgeous bird. I mean, you know, look, don't get so attached to things. Learn to let go." Looks at the robot Suits, "Wait a minute. Jack, what is that? Is that... That's not a helmet. What is that?" He walks up to a suit, grabs and takes out the robot head, "Ivan... What's this? Jack. Is that a helmet? It doesn't look like a helmet to me. How... How are you supposed to get a head in there? Jack, could you put your head in there?" Climbs back down and gives it to Jack.

Jack shakes his head, "No."

Justin tells him, "Try to put your head in there. Go ahead. Try to put your head in there." Jack tries to put it on his head. "See, Ivan? He can't put his head in there. That's... That's not a helmet. It's a head. I need to put a guy in there. I need to fit a person in that suit. You understand?"

Ivan simply says, "Drone better."

Justin asks confused, "What? Drone better? Why is drone better? Why is drone better?"

Ivan still calmly states, "People make problem. Trust me. Drone better."

Justin tells him, "Ivan, you know, I like you. I got you the bird. You said, 'No problem.' That's what you said to me. You said, 'No problem.' Now I need suits. The government wants suits. Like Iron Man. You understand? That's what the people want. That's what's gonna make them happy."

Ivan uses his own words from earlier, "Hey, man. Don't get too attached to things. Learn to let go." Taking back the robot head.

Justin tells him, "These drones better steal the show, Ivan. You understand? Better rock my world, Ivan." Walking away.

Edwards Air Force Base

The General now present, looking at the sliver Iron Man suit with Rhodey, "Unbelievable. This ought to get the Senate off my ass. It's functional?"

Rhodey told him, "Fully mission-capable."

The General said, "Good. Get Hammer down here to weaponise it." Walking away.

Rhodey looks confused following him, "Sir?"

The General responds to him, "Justin Hammer's making a weapons presentation at the Expo. We'd like this to introduce it."

Rhodey tries to tell him, "Sir, I don't believe that the Expo..."

The General stops and turns to him, cuts him off, "Colonel, the world needs to see this fast. We've got to make this happen."

Rhodey still says, "Yes, General, but..."

The General says sternly, "It's also an order."

Rhodey nods, "Yes sir."
