"ONE IS THE LONELIEST NUMBER!"

"Shut it off, Jarvis. Shut it off! MY PARENTS! BUCKY! RUSSIA! BORSCHT! HOMICIDE! SHELBYVILLE, INDIANA! Jarvis. Jarvis. JARVIS."

"YOU'RE A MACHINE. YOU DON'T STEP, JARVIS. YOU BLOOP. YOU BLEEP, AND YOU BLOOP, JARVIS. THOSE ARE THE ONLY OPTIONS."

"I was testing your experimental new sarcasm feature, Mr. Stark."

Tony sighed. "Dang, I'm good." The music stopped.
