[last lines]
Tony Stark : There's been speculation that I was involved in the events that occurred on the freeway and the rooftop...
Christine Everheart : I'm sorry, Mr. Stark, but do you honestly expect us to believe that that was a bodyguard in a suit that conveniently appeared, despite the fact that...
Tony Stark : I know that it's confusing. It is one thing to question the official story, and another thing entirely to make wild accusations, or insinuate that I'm a superhero.
Christine Everheart : I never said you were a superhero.
Tony Stark : Didn't?
Christine Everheart : Mmm-mmm.
Tony Stark : Well, good, because that would be outlandish and, uh, fantastic. I'm just not the hero type. Clearly. With this laundry list of character defects, all the mistakes I've made, largely public.
Rhodey : [whispers to Tony] Just stick to the cards, man.
Tony Stark : Yeah, okay.
[holds up his notes and pauses]
Tony Stark : The truth is...
[puts cards down]
Tony Stark : I am Iron Man.
-
Rhodey : Oh, my God, you crazy son of a bitch! You owe me a plane, you know that, right?
Tony Stark : [chuckling] Yeah, well, technically he hit me, so...
-
Rhodey : [seeing Stark in the Iron Man suit] That's the coolest thing I've ever seen.
Tony Stark : Not bad, huh?
-
Rhodey : [eyeing the Mark II Iron Man suit] Next time, baby.
-
Rhodey : [answering his phone during the attack on Iron Man] Hello.
Tony Stark : Hi, Rhodey, its me.
Rhodey : It's who?
Tony Stark : Oh, I'm sorry, it is ME. You asked. What your asking about, it's me.
Rhodey : No, you see, this isn't a game. You do not send civilian equipment into my active war zone. You understand that?
Tony Stark : It's not a piece of equipment, I'm in it! Its a suit! It's ME!
-
Rhodey : [standing by Stark's airplane] Three hours! Three hours you've kept me standing here!
Tony Stark : [walking past him] Waiting on you now.
-
Rhodey : Hey Tony.
Tony Stark : I'm sorry. This is the fun-vee. The hum-drum-vee is back there.
-
Rhodey : You need me to do anything else?
Tony Stark : Keep the skies clear.
-
Rhodey : [talking over phone] What the hell is that noise?
Tony Stark : I'm driving with the top down.
Rhodey : Well, I need your help right now.
Tony Stark : Funny how that works, huh?
Rhodey : Yeah. Speaking of funny, we got a weapons depot that was just blown up a few klicks from where you were being held.
Tony Stark : Well, I'd say that's a hot spot. Sounds...
[takes a breath]
Tony Stark : ...sounds like someone stepped in and did your job for you.
Rhodey : Why do you sound out of breath?
Tony Stark : I'm not. I was just jogging in the canyon.
Rhodey : I thought you were driving.
Tony Stark : Right, I was driving... to the canyon... where I'm gonna jog.
Rhodey : You sure you don't have any tech in that area I should know about?
Tony Stark : Nope.
[Two F-22s rise behind Iron Man]
Rhodey : Good, because I'm looking at something right now and we're about to blow it to kingdom come.

Rhodey : As liaison to Stark Industries, I have a unique privilege of serving with a real patriot. He is my friend, and he is my great mentor. Ladies and gentlemen, it is my honor to present this year's Apogee Award to Mr. Tony Stark!
[crowd applauds]
Rhodey : Tony?
[Stark is not present, so Stane approaches the stage]
Obadiah Stane : [accepting the award] Thank you, Colonel. This is beautiful. Thank you all very much. This is wonderful. Well, I'm not Tony Stark.
[laughter]
Obadiah Stane : But if I were Tony, I would tell you how honored I feel, and what a joy it is to receive this very prestigious award. Tony, you know, the best thing about Tony is also the worst thing - he's always working.
[cuts to Stark playing craps in a casino]

Rhodey : [upon rescuing Stark] How was the fun-vee? Next time you ride with me, okay?
-
Tony Stark : [Tony and Rhodey are on Tony's elaborate plane sitting at a table. Rhodey is reading a newspaper] Whatcha readin'... platypus?
Rhodey : Nothin'.
Tony Stark : Come on sour patch.
Rhodey : I told you I'm not sour...
Tony Stark : ...don't be mad...
Rhodey : ...i'm not mad, i'm indifferent, ok.
Tony Stark : I said I was sorry.
Rhodey : You don't need to apologize to me cause I'm not mad.
Stewardess : Good morning Mr. Stark.
Tony Stark : [addressing the stewardess] Hi, I said I was sorry.
Rhodey : ...i'm just indifferent right now.
Stewardess : [to Tony] Hot towel?
Rhodey : You don't respect yourself so I know you don't respect me...
Tony Stark : ...I respect you...
Tony Stark : ...so I'm just your baby sitter. so when you need your diaper changed
[receives a hot towel from the stewardess]
Tony Stark : thank you
[readdresses Tony]
Tony Stark : let me know and I'll get you a bottle, ok?
Tony Stark : Hey! Heat up the saki will ya? Thanks for reminding me.
Rhodey : I'm not talkin about a... we're not drinking we're working right now.
Rhodey : You are institutionally incapable of being responsible.
Tony Stark : It would be irresponsible NOT to drink. I'm just talking about a night cap here.
Stewardess : Hot saki?
Tony Stark : Yes, 2 please.
Rhodey : No... just... I'm not drinking. I don't want any.
Rhodey : [queue to a scene where dancey lounge music is playing and Rhodey and Tony are drinking as a stripper pole comes out of the floor for the stewardesses to dance around] That's what I'm talking about, when I get up in the morning and I'm puttin on my uniform you know what I recognize? I see in the mirror that every person with this uniform on, GOT MY BACK!
Tony Stark : you know, i'm not... i'm not... like you... aren't you just a little distracted right now?
Rhodey : you don't have to be like me, but you can be more and you just don't see it. No I can't be distracted right now!
-
Tony Stark : [playing Craps] We're gonna let it ride! Give me a hand, will you? Give me a little something-something.
[woman blows on his dice]
Tony Stark : Okay, you too.
Rhodey : I don't blow on a man's dice.
Tony Stark : Come on, honey bear.
[Rhodey taps Tony hand causing him to roll the dice]
Tony Stark : There it is. Lieutenant Colonel Rhodes rolls! And...
Dealer at Craps Table : Two craps. Line away.
Rhodey : That's what happens.
Tony Stark : Worse things have happened.
-
Rhodey : The future of air combat... Is it manned, or unmanned? I'll tell you in my experience, no unmanned aerial vehicle will ever trump a pilot's instinct.
-
[an Air Force base prepares to scramble fighters when Iron Man appears on the radar again. Rhodey appears and hangs up the phone]
Rhodey : Not necessary, people. Just a training exercise.
-
Rhodey : [to Pepper at Tony's press conference after returning from Afghanistan] What's with the lovin'?
-
Tony Stark : Speaking of manned or unmanned, you gotta get him to tell you about the time he guessed wrong at Spring Break... just remember that. Spring Break, 1987.
Rhodey : Don't do that.
Tony Stark : That lovely lady...
Rhodey : Don't do that.
Tony Stark : ...what was his name?
Rhodey : Don't do that.
Tony Stark : Was it Ivan?
Rhodey : Don't do that. They'll believe you.
