Photojournalist: [to Willard] Why would a nice guy like you want to kill a genius? Why? Because they told you he was crazy? The Colonel is not crazy. The man is clear in his mind, but his soul is mad.
[about Thor's hammer, Mjölnir] Clint Barton: [drunk] "Whosoever, be he worthy, shall have the power", whatever man! It's a trick! Thor: It is more than that, my friend!
Corporal Lyle Wainfleet: [Jake gets down from the ship with a gun. Wainfleet follows] Dr. Grace Augustine: [to Wainfleet] Stay with the ship. One idiot with a gun is enough. Corporal Lyle Wainfleet: You the man, Doc.
