Quotes 

  • Dum-Dum Dugan : What would Cap say if I left his best girl behind?

    Peggy Carter : He'd say "Do as Peggy says".

  • Peggy Carter : You all right?

    Jack Thompson : Yeah. You saved a lot of necks back there. You saved mine.

    Peggy Carter : Not bad for a code breaker.

    Jack Thompson : Pretty bad for the Navy Cross winner.

    Peggy Carter : Everybody freezes sometimes. You recovered. That's the most important thing.

    Jack Thompson : They were carrying a white flag. The soldiers that came into my camp in Okinawa. The ones I killed. They were coming to surrender. I just didn't realize it until it was too late. I buried the flag before anyone else saw it. Everybody thinks that I'm this guy that I never was. And every day, it gets harder and harder to live with.

    [pauses] 

    Jack Thompson : I've been trying to tell that story since I came home from war.

    Peggy Carter : You just did.

    [Thompson looks at her, seemingly vulnerable and grateful at the same time, realizing she is right] 

  • Dr. Ivchenko : [after Carter jumps into the back of their escaping truck and falls to the floor]  Not bad. For a girl.

    Peggy Carter : [Smiling]  I hate you all.

  • Peggy Carter : If you want to get to know New York - if you want to get know any place, you have to start with the people first.

    Dottie Underwood : I talk to people.

    Peggy Carter : Real people with real jobs. Not the, uh, phony, superficial ones that pervade the city. Uh, you should start with Brooklyn first.

    Dottie Underwood : But I-I'd rather see the Statue of Liberty.

    Peggy Carter : Oh, she'll still be there. But what she represents, the spirit of Lady Liberty, is found in its people.

    Dottie Underwood : Wow. You sounded like Captain America just now.

    Peggy Carter : That's not a bad thing.

  • Dum-Dum Dugan : You sure you wanna get on that plane? Commandos could always use another good fighter. We just need to come up with a nickname for you.

    Peggy Carter : Tempting, but I think it's time I put my days on the front lines behind me. Someone needs to mind the wheel back in the States. And I suppose someone needs to convince the SSR of Howard's innocence, wanker or not. I'll miss you.

    Dum-Dum Dugan : [They hug]  Miss you, too, Peg.

    [He suddenly steps back as a thought occurs] 

    Dum-Dum Dugan : Wait a second. Miss you.

    [Turns to his team] 

    Dum-Dum Dugan : Miss Union Jack! Whaddya think, fellas?

    [Turns back to Carter with a big smile] 

    Dum-Dum Dugan : Huh?

    Peggy Carter : Never speak again.

    Dum-Dum Dugan : [His smile drops away]  Okay.

  • Edwin Jarvis : These men you call your colleagues They don't respect you. They don't even see you. Do you honestly expect they'll change their minds?

    Peggy Carter : I expect I will make them.

  • Peggy Carter : This is the only changing room in the SSR. I need to change.

    Jack Thompson : Try the ladies' room.

    Peggy Carter : The ladies' room is downstairs in the lobby of the ad agency. I'd match rather suffer the musk of a men's locker room than have to change into tactical gear in a public restroom.

    [She enters the change room] 

    Jack Thompson : Pull up your skirts, boys.

    Agent Mike Li : Whoa! Geez, Carter, give a guy some warning!

    Peggy Carter : Oh, such fuss. Do none of you have sisters?

    Agent Rick Ramirez : They don't look like you.

  • Agent Mike Li : Little-kid beds?

    Peggy Carter : It's a boarding school.

    Agent Mike Li : Why are there shackles on the beds?

    Junior Juniper : It's Russia, man.

  • Peggy Carter : Does anyone else feel a chill going up their knickers?

    Junior Juniper : I would if I wore knickers.

  • Dum-Dum Dugan : [after breaking through a wall to help Carter and the rest]  Wahoo!

    Peggy Carter : Stop wahooing and help!

    Pinky Pinkerton : Look at this mess. We were gone five minutes!

  • Dottie Underwood : What does "ennui" mean?

    Peggy Carter : Uh, it's like melancholy, um, sadness born out of tedium or boredom.

    Dottie Underwood : Huh.

    Peggy Carter : Why do you ask?

    Dottie Underwood : When I knocked on Angie's door this morning, she said she was "too consumed by ennui" to come to work today.

    Peggy Carter : Oh, and to think, her acting teacher said she wasn't dramatic enough.

  • Dum-Dum Dugan : All right, so, tell me, what's the story with Stark and these Leviathan jerks?

    Peggy Carter : The SSR is convinced that Howard is trying to sell technology to enemies of the United States. They think Leviathan is a potential buyer.

    Dum-Dum Dugan : And you disagree?

    Peggy Carter : Howard isn't selling weapons to adversaries of the United States Not to Leviathan, not to anybody. He may be an utter wanker, but he is one of us.

    Dum-Dum Dugan : So you think the whole deal is a trap. It's always a damn trap.

    Peggy Carter : That's why we bring the guns.

  • Peggy Carter : You see any abominable snowmen like the one in Tibet?

    Junior Juniper : I I never said, "a-abominable snowman".

    Pinky Pinkerton : In fairness, he did specify "yeti"

    Junior Juniper : Yeah.

    Dum-Dum Dugan : Sorry, it was a little hard to make out words in between all the sobbing.

    [They all laugh] 

    Junior Juniper : Shut up. It was scary.

    Jack Thompson : So, what is the difference between a yeti and an abominable snowman?

    Junior Juniper : One's real and one isn't.

  • Peggy Carter : Why is Leviathan holding you prisoner?

    Dr. Ivchenko : The acquired some schemata in the black market A weapon they don't know how to build. They want us to build it for them.

    Peggy Carter : So you're engineers?

    Dr. Ivchenko : He is the engineer.

    [Jesters to the other prisoner] 

    Dr. Ivchenko : I serve as Nikola's terapevt - psychiatrist.

    Jack Thompson : So the Reds locked up a head doctor and a mad scientist to build a bomb. Sure, why not?

    Dr. Ivchenko : He is not mad! He is burdened. Look, he sees things in dimensions that we can only imagine. You look at a field of grass, you see pretty picture. He sees biology, phytochemistry. Keeping his gifts from overwhelming him... This requires discipline, stability. Since Leviathan took his family, stability does not come easy. I provide the discipline he needs.

  • Peggy Carter : Howard didn't want my help to prove his innocence. He wanted a new toy to manipulate.

    Edwin Jarvis : Miss Carter, you must know that Mr. Stark has the greatest admiration...

    Peggy Carter : Only for himself.

    Edwin Jarvis : He can be thoughtless. Inconsiderate. Vain. Childish. Unreliable. Arrogant.

    Peggy Carter : You flatter him.

    Edwin Jarvis : ...But he is a good man

  • Dr. Ivchenko : You are not Leviathan. Who are you?

    Peggy Carter : We're the good guys.
