- Steve Rogers: [grinning] Now why would I do that?

- James 'Bucky' Barnes: This isn't a back alley, Steve. It's war!

- Abraham Erskine: Five tries in five different cities. I can offer you a chance.
- Col. Chester Phillips: He will be the first in a new breed of super-soldier.
- Steve Rogers: Why me?

- Steve Rogers: That wasn't so bad.
- Abraham Erskine: That was penicillin.
- Col. Chester Phillips: We are going to win this war because we have the best men.
- Abraham Erskine: Now, Mr. Stark.

- James 'Bucky' Barnes: I don't...
- Steve Rogers: Bucky, come on! There are men laying down their lives. I got no right to do any less than them. That's what you don't understand. This isn't about me.
