Captain America: The First Avenger Page #2

This will change the world.

Recruits, attention!

Gentlemen, I'm Agent Carter.

I supervise all operations for this division.

What's with the accent, Queen Victoria?

Thought I was signing up for the U.S. army.

What's your name, soldier?

Gilmore Hodge, your majesty.

Step forward, Hodge.

Put your right foot forward.

We gonna wrestle?

'Cause I gotta a few moves I know you'll like.

Agent Carter.

Colonel Phillips.

I can see that you are breaking

in the candidates, that's good.

Get your ass up out of that dirt,

..and stand up in that lineup at attention until,

- ...somebody comes and tells you what to do.

- Yes, Sir.

General Patton.

Has said.

"War's are fought with weapons

but they are won by men."

We are going to win this war, because...

...we have the best men.

And because they're gonna get better.

Much, better.

The Strategic Scientific Reserve.

Is an allied effort.

Made up with the best minds of the free world.

Our goal.

Is to create the best army in history.

But every army starts with one man.

Rogers! Get up from there.

At the end of this week, we will chose that man.

He'll be the first.

Of a new breed of super soldiers.

Rogers, get your ass out of that line.

And they, will personally escort Adolph Hitler

Through the gates of hell.

Pick up the pace, sweeties.

Let's go, let's go.

Double time.

Come on, faster, faster.

Move.

Move.

Squad halt.

That flag means you're only at the half way point.

First man to bring it to me,

gets to ride back with Agent Carter.

Move, move!

Come on, get up there.

That's what you got?

This army is in trouble.

Get up there, Hodge.

Come on, get up there.

Nobody's got that flag in seventeen years.

Come on, come on, fall in.

Let's go, get back in formation.

Rogers!

I said, fall in.

Thank you, Sir.

Faster ladies, come on.

My grandmother has more life in her, God rest her soul.

Move it!

You're not really thinking

of picking Rogers, are you?

I am more than just thinking about it.

It is a clear choice.

When you brought a modicum

asthmatic onto my army base.

I let it slide. I thought what the hell.

Maybe he could be useful to you, like a gerbil.

- Never thought you'd pick him.

- Up.

Stick a needle in that kids arm,

it's going to go right through him.

Come on, girls.

Look at that.

He's making me cry.

I am looking for qualities beyond the physical.

Do you know how long it

took to set up this project.

-Yes.

- All the groveling I had to do in front...

...of Senator whats-his-name committees.

Yes, I know. I am well aware of your efforts.

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.

- He's a bully.

You don't win wars with niceness, Doctor.

You win wars, with guts.

Grenade!

Oh, no!

Stay away.

Get back.

Phony grenade.

Men, back in formation.

Is this a test?

He's still skinny.

- May I?

- Yeah.

Can't sleep?

Got the jitters I guess.

Oh, me too.

Can I ask you a question?

Just one?

Why me?

I suppose that is the one question that matters.

This is from Augsburg.

My City.

So many people forget that the first

country the Nazi's invaded was their own.

You know after the last war they,

My peoples struggled, they..they..

They felt weak, they felt..

...slow, then Hitler comes along.

With the marching and the big show,

and the flags and all that

And he, hears of me.

My work, and he finds me.

Then he says, you.

He says, you will make us strong.

Well.

I am not interested.

So he sends the head of Hydra.

East research division.

A brilliant Scientist by the name of, Johann Schmidt.

Now Schmidt is a member of the inner circle.

And he's ambitious.

Even Hitler shares his passion for,

occult power and tatanic myth.

Hitler uses his fantasies to inspire his followers.

But for Schmidt it is not fantasy.

For him, it is real.

He has become convinced

that there is a great power.

Hidden in the earth.

Left here by the gods.

Waiting to be seized by superior men.

So when he has found my

formula and what it can do.

He cannot resist.

Schmidt wants to become that superior man.

Did it make him stronger?

Ja.

But, it has other effects.

The serum wasn't ready.

But more important.

The man.

The serum amplifies everything

that is inside, so..

Good becomes great.

Bad becomes worse.

This is why you were chosen.

Because a strong man.

Who has known power all his life.

They lose respect for that power.

But a weak man.

Who values of strength.

And loves

Compassion.

Thanks.

I think.

Give this.

Whatever happens tomorrow,

you must promise me one thing.

That you must stay who you are.

Not a perfect soldier.

But.

A good man.

To the little guys.

No, wait, wait. What am I doing?

No, you have procedure tomorrow.

No fluids.

All right, we'll drink it after.

No, I don't have procedure tomorrow.

I can't after, I can now.

Is there something in particular you need?

I uh, understand you found him.

See for yourself.

You disapprove.

I just don't see why you

need concern yourself.

I can't imagine he'll succeed.

Again.

The serum is the allies only defense.

against this power we now possess.

If we take it away from them,

then our victory is assured.

I shall give the order.

It has been given.

Good.

Doctor Zola.

What do you think?

Masterpiece.

I know this neighborhood.

I got beat up in that alley.

And that parking lot.

And behind that dinner.

Did you have something against running away?

You start running they'll never let you stop.

You stand up, push back.

You can't say no forever, right.

I know a little of what that's like.

To have every door shut in your face.

I guess I just don't know why you

would want to join the army.

You're a beautiful dame.

Beautifu..oh a woman. I mean...

An agent, not a Dame.

- You are beautiful.

- You have no idea how to talk to a woman, do you?

I think this is the longest

conversation I've had with a woman.

They're not exactly lining up to dance

with a guy that might step on them.

You must have danced.

Well, asking a woman to dance always seems so terrifying.

And the past few years just...

Didn't seem to matter that much.

Figured I'd wait.

For what?

Right partner.

This way.

What are we doing here?

Follow me.

Wonderful weather this morning.

- Isn't it.

- Yes, but I always carry an umbrella.

Good morning.

Please, not now.

You ready?

Good.

Take off your shirt your tie and your hat.

Senator Brandt, glad you could make it.

Why exactly am I in Brooklyn?

We needed access to the cities power grid.

Of course if you had given

me a generalized requisition.

A lot of people are asking for funds, ....

Oh, this is Clem uh...

Gregg Clemson, state department.

If this project of yours comes through.

We'd like to see that it doesn't get into the headlines.

Jesus.

Somebody get that kid a sandwich.

Comfortable?

It's a little big.

You save me any of that schnapps?

Not as much as I should have.

Sorry, next time.
