35. Trevor Slattery's Speech
From Iron Man 3 (2013)
Delivered by Ben Kingsley

Trevor Slattery: Some people call me a terrorist. I consider myself a teacher. America, ready for another lesson? In 1864, in Sand Creek, Colorado, the U.S. Military waited until the friendly Cheyenne Braves had all gone hunting. Waited to attack and slaughter the families left behind. And claim their land. Thirty-nine hours ago, the Ali al-Salam Air Base in Kuwait was attacked. I, I, I did that. A quaint military church, filled with wives and children, of course. The soldiers were out on maneuvers. The 'Braves' were away. President Ellis, you continue to resist my attempts to educate you, sir. And now, you've missed me again. You don't know who I am. You don't know where I am. And you'll NEVER see me coming.

(To be continued...)

A/N: Here's one from one of the villains, a rarity in superhero films, but I still think that this villain has a point. What comes around goes around (ie: vengeance is a bitch). Everyone wants to listen to the hero, but villains have important things to say, too.
