Robert Downey Jr.

"I am Iron Man."

"We have a plan, and we're going to stick to it."

"Come on, you're going to go see your family."

"I never got to say goodbye to my father."

"I would've asked him how he felt about what his company did, if he was conflicted, if he ever had doubts."

"Or maybe he was every inch of man we remember from the newsreels."

"I saw young Americans killed by the very weapons I created to defend them and protect them."

"And I saw that I had become part of a system that is comfortable with zero accountability."

"I came to realize that I had more to offer this world than just making things that blow up."

"And that is why, effective immediately, I am shutting down the weapons manufacturing division of Stark Industries."

"I was out of town for a couple months, in case you didn't hear."
