- Christine Everheart: Mr. Stark! Christine Everheart, Vanity Fair magazine. Can I ask you a couple of questions?
- Hogan: [whispers to Stark] She's cute.
- Tony Stark: [whispers to Hogan] She's alright.
- [turns around]
- Tony Stark: Hi!
- Christine Everheart: Hi.
- Tony Stark: Yeah. Okay, go.
- Christine Everheart: You've been called the Da Vinci of our time. What do you say to that?
- Tony Stark: Absolutely ridiculous. I don't paint.
- Christine Everheart: And what do you say to your other nickname, the Merchant of Death?
- Tony Stark: That's not bad. Let me guess... Berkeley?
- Christine Everheart: Brown, actually.
- Tony Stark: Well, Ms. Brown. It's an imperfect world, but it's the only one we got. I guarantee you the day weapons are no longer needed to keep the peace, I'll start making bricks and beams for baby hospitals.
- Christine Everheart: Rehearse that much?
- Tony Stark: Every night in front of the mirror before bedtime.
- Christine Everheart: I can see that.
- Tony Stark: I'd like to show you firsthand.
- Christine Everheart: [exasperated] All I'm looking for is a straight answer.
- Tony Stark: OK, here's a straight answer. My old man had a philosophy: peace means having a bigger stick than the other guy.
- Christine Everheart: That's a great line, coming from a guy selling the sticks.
- Tony Stark: My father helped defeat Nazis. He worked on the Manhattan Project. A lot of people, including your professors at Brown, would call that being a hero.
- Christine Everheart: And a lot of people would also call that war-profiteering.
- Tony Stark: Tell me,
- [removing his shades]
- Tony Stark: do you plan to report on the millions we've saved by advancing medical technology or kept from starvation with our intelli-crops? All those breakthroughs, military funding, honey.
- Christine Everheart: Have you ever lost an hour of sleep in your life?
- Tony Stark: I'd be prepared to lose a few with you.
- [Stark's car, the winner of a race, arrives at the airport]
- Tony Stark: I thought I lost you back there!
- Hogan: You did, sir.
