I think it's incredibly overpriced.

I need it. Buy it, store it.

Okay... the MI commencement speech.

Is in June... please, don't

harange me about that stuff.

Well, they are haragning me,

so I'm gonna say yes...

I need you to sign this

before you get on the plane.

What are you trying to get rid

of me for? What, you got plans?

- As a matter of fact, I do.

- I don't like it when you have plans.

I'm allowed to have

plans on my birthday.

It's your birthday. - Yes.

- I knew that. Already?

Yeah, isn't that strange,

it's the same day as last year.

Well, get yourself something

nice from me. - I already did.

- And?

- Oh, it was very nice.

Very tasteful.

Thank you, Mr. Stark.

You're welcome, Ms. Potts.

You're good! I thought

I've lost you back there.

You did, sir.

I took it across Mojave.

- Ah, I gotcha, I gotcha.

What's wrong with you?

- What?

Three hours! - I got caught

doing a piece for Vanity Fair.

Three hours. For three hours,

you got me standing here.

I'm waiting on you now.

Lets go. C'mon.

Wheels up! Rock and roll!

What're you reading?

- Nothing.

C'mon, sourpatch,

don't be mad.

I told you I'm not mad,

I'm indifferent, okay?

- I said I was sorry.

- Good morning, Mr. Stark.

- No need to apologize.

- I told him I was sorry but he...

I'm just indifferent right now.

You don't respect yourself,

so I know you don't respect me.

- I respect you.

- I'm just your babysitter,

and so, when you need your

diaper changed, thank you...

let me know and I'll

get you a bottle, okay?

Hey, heat up the sake, will you?

Thanks for reminding me.

I'm not talking... we're not drinking,

we're working right now.

And you are constitutionally

incapable of being responsible.

It would be irresponsible

not to drink.

I'm just talking about

the night cup. - Hot sake?

- Yes, two please.

- No, just...

I'm not drinking,

I don't want any.

That's what I'm talking about.

When I get up in the morning,

and I'm putting on my uniform,

you know what I recognize?

I see in that mirror that every

person that's got this uniform

will get my back! - Here we

go again. I'm not like you.

No, you don't have to be like me.

But you're more than... yes you are.

Will you excuse me,

I'm a little bit distracted here.

No, you can't be distracted

right now. Listen to me!

BAGRAM AIR BASE,

AFGHANISTAN:

General.

Welcome, Mr. Stark.

We look forward to your

weapons presentation.

Is it better to be feared

or respected?

And I say, is it too much

to ask for both?

With that in mind, I humbly

present the crown jewel

of Stark Industries freedom line.

It's the first missile system

to incorporate our proprietary

repulsor technology.

They say the best weapon is

one you never have to fire.

I respectfully disagree.

I prefer the weapon you

only have to fire once.

That's how dad did it,

that's how America does it...

and it's worked out

pretty well so far.

Find an excuse to let

one of these off the chain,

and I personally guarantee you

the bad guys won't even want

to come out of their caves.

For your consideration,

the Jericho.

We throw one of these in with every

purchase of 500 million or more.

To peace!

- Tony.

- Obie, what are you doing up?

I couldn't sleep till I found out

how it went. How did it go?

Went great, looks like it's

gonna be an early Christmas.

Hey, way to go, my boy.

I'll see you tomorrow, yeah?

Why aren't you wearing

those pyjamas I got you?

Good night, Tony.

Hey Tony!

I'm sorry, this is the fun-vee.

The hum-drum-vee is back there.

- Nice job.

- See you back at base.

I wouldn't do that if I were you.

What the hell did you do to me?

What I did?

What I did is to save your life.

I removed all the shrapnel I could,

but there's a lot left,

and it's headed into

your atrial septum.

Here, wanna see?

I have a souvenir.

Take a look.

I've seen many wounds

like that in my village.

We call them the walking dead.

Because in takes about a week for

the balls to reach the vital organs.

- What is this?

- That is an electromagnet.

Hooked up to a car battery.

And it's keeping the shrapnel

from entering your heart.

That's right. Smile!

We met once, you know.

At the technical

conference in Bern.

- Don't remember.

- No, you wouldn't.

If I had been that drunk,

I wouldn't have been able to stand,

much less give a lecture

on integrated circuits.

Where are we?

Come on, stand up.

Stand up.

Do as I do.

C'mon, put your hands up.

Those are my guns.

How did they get my guns?

Do you understand me?

Do as I do.

He says:
"Welcome Tony Stark,

the most famous mass murderer

in the history of America."

He is honored.

He wants you to build a missile.

The Jericho missile

that you demonstrated.

This one.

I refuse.

Tony!

He wants to know

what you think.

I think he got a lot

of my weapons.

He says they have everything you

need to build a Jericho missile.

He wants you to make

the list of materials.

He says for you to start

working immediately,

and when you're done,

he will set you free.

No, I won't.

No, he won't.

I'm sure they're

looking for you, Stark.

But they will never find

you in these mountains.

Look...

What you just saw...

that is your legacy, Stark.

Your life's work in the

hands of those murderers.

Is that how you want to go out?

Is this the last act of defiance

of the great Tony Stark?

Or are you going to do

something about it?

Why should I do anything?

They're gonna kill me, you...

Either way, if they don't,

I'll probably be dead in a week.

Well then... this is a very

important week for you, isn't it?

If this is gonna be my workstation,

I want it well lit,

I want all of these tools.

Welding gear, I don't care if it's

acetylene or propane.

I need a soldering station,

I need helmets,

I need goggles,

I would like a smelting cup.

I need two sets

of precision tools.

How many languages do you speak?

A lot. But apparently

not enough for this place.

They speak arabic,

urdu, dari, pashto,

mongolian, farsi, russian.

Who are these people?

They are your loyal

customers, sir.

They call themselves

The Ten Rings.

You know, we might

be more productive

if you include me in the

planning proces? - Aha.

Okay. We don't need this.

What is that?

That's palladium, 0.15 grams.

We need at least 1.6,

so why don't you go break

down the other eleven.

What are they doing?

Working.

Careful. Careful, we only

get one shot at this.

Relax, I've steady hands.

Why do you think

you're still alive, huh?

What do I call you?

- My name is Yinsen.

- Yinsen... nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you too.

Wow, that doesn't look

like a Jericho missile.

That's because it is a

miniaturized Arc reactor.

We got a big one powering

my factory at home.

It should keep the shrapnel

out of my heart.

But what could it generate?

If my math is right,

and it always is...

three gigajoules per second.

That could run your heart

for the 50 lifetimes. - Yeah.
