Quotes20

  • Peggy Carter: Wait!
  • [she kisses Steve]
  • Peggy Carter: Go get him.
  • [surprised by the kiss, Steve looks at Colonel Phillips]
  • Col. Chester Phillips: I'm not kissing you.
  • Steve Rogers: [showing his shield to Peggy] What do you think?
  • [Peggy unloads her gun into the shield]
  • Peggy Carter: [sweetly] Yes. I think it works.
  • Peggy Carter: How do you feel?
  • Steve Rogers: Taller.
  • Peggy Carter: You can't give me orders!
  • Steve Rogers: The hell I can't! I'm a Captain!
  • [smiles]
  • Steve Rogers: There's not gonna be a safe landing, but I can try and force it down.
  • Peggy Carter: I'll-I'll get Howard on the line. He'll know what to do.
  • Steve Rogers: There's not enough time. This thing's moving too fast and it's heading for New York. I gotta put her in the water.
  • Peggy Carter: Please don't do this. W-we have time. We can work it out.
  • Steve Rogers: Right now I'm in the middle of nowhere. If I wait any longer a lot of people are gonna die. Peggy, this is my choice.
  • Steve Rogers: [turns the plane toward earth] Peggy...
  • Peggy Carter: I'm here.
  • Steve Rogers: I'm gonna need a rain check on that dance.
  • Peggy Carter: All right. A week next Saturday at The Stork Club.
  • Steve Rogers: You've got it.
  • Peggy Carter: Eight o'clock on the dot. Don't you dare be late. Understood?
  • Steve Rogers: You know, I still don't know how to dance.
  • Peggy Carter: I'll show you how. Just be there.
  • Steve Rogers: We'll have the band play something slow.
  • [the ship Cap is piloting is about to crash onto an icy land in the Arctic]
  • Steve Rogers: I'd hate to step on your...
  • [the radio goes to static]
  • Peggy Carter: Steve? Steve?
  • [Colonel Phillips is nearby as a tear drops down Peggy's face]
  • Peggy Carter: Steve?
  • [Colonel Phillips walks off. Peggy is alone, silently sobbing]
  • Peggy Carter: You have no idea how to talk to a woman, do you?
  • Steve Rogers: I think this is the longest conversation I've had with one. Women aren't exactly lining up to dance with a guy they might step on.
  • Peggy Carter: You're late.
  • [hold up broken transmitter]
  • Steve Rogers: I couldn't call my ride.
  • [Steve starts yelling]

  • Steve Rogers: [from within the chamber] No! Don't! I can do this!
  • Steve Rogers: Dr. Erskine said that the serum wouldn't just effect my muscles, it would effect my cells. Create a protective system of regeneration and healing. Which means, um, I can't get drunk. Did you know that?
  • Peggy Carter: Your metabolism burns four times faster than the average person. He thought it could be one of the side effects.
  • Peggy Carter: [to soldiers in training] Faster, ladies! Come on! My GRANDMOTHER has more life in her, God rest her soul. MOVE IT!
  • Peggy Carter: Gentlemen, I'm Agent Carter. I supervise all operations of this division.
  • Gilmore Hodge: What's with the accent, Queen Victoria? Thought I was signing up for the U.S. Army.
  • Peggy Carter: What's your name, soldier?
  • Gilmore Hodge: Gilmore Hodge, your Majesty.
  • Peggy Carter: Step forward, Hodge.
  • [Hodge steps forward]
  • Peggy Carter: Put your right foot forward.
  • Gilmore Hodge: Are we dancing? Cause I got a few moves I know you'll like.
  • [Peggy punches him in the face]
  • Peggy Carter: Tell me, did you truly like your friend? Did you respect him?
  • Steve Rogers: [surprised] Yes!
  • Peggy Carter: Well then, stop blaming yourself! Give your friend the respect of making his own decisions!
  • Steve Rogers: [after one of Steve's "Captain America" shows] What are you doing here?
  • Peggy Carter: Officially I'm not here at all. That was quite a performance.
  • Steve Rogers: Yeah, uh... I had to improvise a little bit. The crowds I'm used to are usually more, uh...
  • [Struggles to find a word]
  • Peggy Carter: I understand you're America's new hope.
  • Steve Rogers: Bond sales take a ten percent bump in every state I visit.
  • Peggy Carter: Is that Senator Brandt I hear?
  • Steve Rogers: At least he's got me doing this. Phillips would have had me stuck in the lab.
  • Peggy Carter: And these are your only two options? A lab rat or a dancing monkey? You were meant for more than this, you know?
  • [Steve looks like he's about to say something, then closes his mouth]
  • Peggy Carter: What?
  • Steve Rogers: You know for the longest time I dreamed about coming overseas and being on the front lines. Serving my country. I finally get everything I wanted, and I'm wearing tights.
  • Col. Chester Phillips: [looking over the men] You're not REALLY thinking about picking Rogers, are you?
  • Abraham Erskine: I wasn't just THINKING about it. He is a clear choice.
  • Col. Chester Phillips: When you brought a ninety-pound asthmatic onto my army base, I let it slide. I thought "What the hell, maybe he'd be useful to you like a gerbil." Never thought you'd pick him.
  • Peggy Carter: [to soldiers doing push-ups] UP!
  • Col. Chester Phillips: You put a needle in that kid's arm it's gonna go right through him.
  • Peggy Carter: [to the soldiers doing jumping jacks] Come on, girls!
  • Col. Chester Phillips: [looking at Steve's best effort but belabored execution] Look at that. He's makin' me cry.
  • Abraham Erskine: I am looking for qualities beyond the physical.
  • Col. Chester Phillips: Do you know how long it took to set up this project? Of all the groveling I had to do in front of Senator What's-his-name's committee?
  • Abraham Erskine: Yes, I'm well aware of your efforts.
  • Col. Chester Phillips: Then throw me a bone. Hodge passed every test we gave him. He's big, he's fast, he obeys orders - he's a soldier.
  • Abraham Erskine: He's a bully.
  • Col. Chester Phillips: You don't win wars with niceness, doctor. You win wars with guts.
  • [the Colonel pulls the pin of a grenade and throws it among the recruits]
  • Col. Chester Phillips: GRENADE!
  • Steve Rogers: [after Howard and Peggy steal a plane to get Steve across the front lines] You know, you two are going to be in a lot of trouble when you land.
  • Peggy Carter: And you won't?
  • Steve Rogers: Where I'm goin', if anybody yells at me I can just shoot 'em.
  • Col. Chester Phillips: Agent Carter, coordinate with MI6. I want every allied eyeball looking for that main Hydra base.
  • Peggy Carter: What about us?
  • Col. Chester Phillips: We are gonna set a fire under Johann Schmidt's ass. What do you say, Rogers? It's your map, you think you can wipe Hydra off of it?
  • Steve Rogers: Yes, sir. I'll need a team.
  • Col. Chester Phillips: We're already putting together the best men.
  • Steve Rogers: With all due respect, sir, so am I.
  • Peggy Carter: What do you plan to do? Walk to Austria?
  • Steve Rogers: If that's what it takes.
  • Peggy Carter: You heard the Colonel, your friend is most likely dead.
  • Steve Rogers: You don't know that.
  • Peggy Carter: Even so, he's devising a strategy to take...
  • Steve Rogers: By the time he's done that, it could be too late! You told me you thought I was meant for more than this. Did you mean that?
  • Peggy Carter: Every word.
  • Steve Rogers: Then you gotta let me go.
  • Peggy Carter: I can do more than that...
  • Steve Rogers: Peggy, that's not what you thought it was.
  • Peggy Carter: I don't think anything, Captain. Not one thing. You always wanted to be a soldier and now you are. Just like all the rest.
  • Steve Rogers: Well, what about you and Stark? How do I know you two haven't been... fonduing?
  • Peggy Carter: You still don't know a bloody thing about women!
  • Howard Stark: Agent Carter, if we're not in too much of a hurry, I thought we could stop off in Lucerne for a late night fondue.
  • Peggy Carter: Stark is the best civilian pilot I've ever seen. He's mad enough to brave this airspace, we're lucky to have him.
  • Steve Rogers: So are you two...? Do you...? Fondue?
  • Peggy Carter: Did you have something against running away?
  • Steve Rogers: You start running, they'll never let you stop. You stand up, push back. Can't say no forever, right?
