every pepperony scene ever thread

"tony, i need to speak to you about a couple things before i get you out of the door."
"doesn't it kind of defeat the whole purpose of having your own plane if it departs before you arrive?"

"it's your birthday?"
"yes."
"i knew that. already?"
"yeah. isn't that strange? it's the same day as last year."
"get yourself something nice from me."
"i already did."
"and?
"it was very nice."
"yeah?"
"very tasteful. thank you, mr. stark."
"you're welcome, miss potts."

pepper v.o. "tony!"

"your eyes are red. a few tears for your long-lost boss?"
"tears of joy. i hate job hunting."

"take us to the hospital, please, happy."
"no."
"no? tony, you have to go to the hospital."
"no is a complete answer."

the way pepper looks at tony

"what's up with the love-in?"
"don't look at me. i don't know what he's up to."
"...and that is why, effective immediately, i am shutting down the weapons manufacturing division of stark international."

"just tell me, who told you?"
"never mind who told me. show me."
"it's rhodey or pepper."
"i want to see it."
"okay, rhodey."

"pepper. how big are your hands?"
"what?"
"how big are your hands?"
"i don't understand why..."
"get down here. i need you."

"let's see them. show me your hands. let's see them. oh, wow. they are small. very petite, indeed. i just need your help for a sec."
"oh, my god, is that the thing that's keeping you alive?"
"it was. it is now an antique."

"it's like operation-"
"what do you mean, "operation"?
"it's just a game, never mind. just gently lift the wire. okay?"
"you know, i don't think that i'm qualified to do this."
"no, you're fine. you're the most capable, qualified, trustworthy person i've ever met."

"oh, there's pus!"
"it's not pus. it's an inorganic plasmic discharge from the device, not from my body."
"it smells!"
"yeah, it does."

"what's wrong?"
"nothing, i'm just going into cardiac arrest cuz you yanked it out-"
"what? i thought you said this was safe!"
"we gotta hurry. take this. you gotta switch it out really quick."
"ok ok ok. tony? It's going to be ok, ok? it's gonna be ok. i-i'm gonna make this ok."

"don't ever, ever, ever, ask me to do anything like that ever again."
"i don't have anyone but you."

"what do you want me to do with this?"
"that? destroy it. incinerate it."
"you don't want to keep it?"
"pepper, i've been called many things. "nostalgic" is not one of them."

"i thought you said you were done making weapons?"
"it isn't. this is a flight stabilizer. it's completely harmless. [blast] ...I didn't expect that."

obadiah: "the board is claiming you have post-traumatic stress. they're filing an injunction."
tony: "a what?"
obadiah: "they want to lock you out."
tony: "why, 'cause the stocks dipped 40 points? we knew that was gonna happen."
pepper: "fifty-six and a half."

proof that tony stark has a heart, from pepper

"you look fantastic! i didn't recognize you."
"what are you doing here?"
"just avoiding government agents."
"are you by yourself?"
"yes. where'd you get that dress?"
"it was a birthday present. from you actually."
"well, i got great taste."
"yes."
"you want to dance?"
"oh, no."

"am i making you uncomfortable?"
"no. no. i always forget to wear deodorant and dance with my boss in front of everyone that i work with in a dress with no back."
"you look great, you smell great."
"oh, god."

"i actually don't think that you could tie your shoes without me."
"i'd make it a week."
"really? what's your social security number?"
"five."
"five? you're missing just a couple of digits there."
"the other eight? i got you for the other eight."

"how about a little air?"
"yes, i need some air."

"that was totally weird."
"totally harmless."
"it was totally not harmless, by the way."
"we're dancing. no one's even watching-"
"everybody who i work with- no- you know why-"
"i think you lost objectivity. i think they- we just danced-"
"no, it was not just a dance!"

"you don't understand because you're you. and everybody knows exactly who you are, and how you are with girls, and all of that, which is completely fine. but, you know, then me, you're my boss, and I'm dancing with you, because it makes me look like the one who's trying to..."

"you know, and we're here, and then i'm wearing this ridiculous dress, and then we were dancing like that, and..."

"i would like a drink, please."
"got it, ok."
"i would like a vodka martini, please. very dry with olives, a lot of olives. like, at least three olives."

"what's going on here?"
"let's face it. this is not the worst thing you've caught me doing."
"are those bullet holes?"

"are you busy? i need you to go to my office and hack into the mainframe. you're gonna retrieve all the recent shipping manifests. this is a lock chip, this will get you in."

"tony... you know that i would help you with anything, but i cannot help you if you're gonna start all of this again."
"there is nothing except this. there's no art openings, no benefit, nothing to sign. there's the next mission & nothing else."
"is that so? well, then i quit."

"you stood by my side all these years [...]"
"you're gonna kill yourself, tony. i'm not gonna be a part of it."
"i shouldn't be alive unless it was for a reason. i'm not crazy, pepper. i just finally know what i have to do. and i know in my heart that it's right."

"you're all I have too, you know."

[recording] "obadiah stane, your deception and lies will cost you dearly. the price to kill tony stark has just gone up."

"tony never really did come home, did he? he left a part of himself in that cave. breaks my heart."
"well... he is a complicated person. he's been through a lot.
i think he'll be alright."
"you are a very rare woman. tony doesn't know how lucky he is."
"thank you. thanks."

"tony? tony, are you there?"

"good boy" dum-e and the arc reactor that pepper framed saving tony's life

"please go over there and make sure everything's okay. thank you, rhodey."

"where's pepper?"

"pepper!"
"tony! tony, are you okay?"
"i'm fine. how are-"
"obadiah, he's gone insane!"
'i know. listen, you'd better get out of there."
"he built a suit-"

"your services are no longer required."
"stane!"

"potts!"
"tony! oh, my god, are you okay?"
"i'm almost out of power. i've got to get out of this thing. i'll be right there."

“potts?”
“tony!”
“this isn't working. we’re going to have to overload the reactor and blast the roof.”
“well, how are you going to do that?”
“you're going to do it.”

“go to the central console, open up all the circuits. when i get clear of the roof, i’ll let you know. you're going to hit the master bypass button. it’s going to fry everything up here.”
“okay. i'm going in now.
“make sure you wait till i clear the roof. i’ll buy you some time.”

“it’s ready, tony! get off the roof!”

“time to hit the button!”
“you told me not to!”

“just do it!”
“you'll die!”

“push it!”

pepper v.o. "tony!"

coulson: “here's your alibi. you were on your yacht. we have port papers that put you in avalon all night, and sworn statements from fifty of your guests.”
tony: “see, i was thinking maybe we should say it was just pepper and me alone on the island.”

“right. let's get this show on the road.”
“you know, it's actually not that bad. even i don't think i'm iron man.”
“you're not iron man.”
“am so.”
“you're not.”

“you know, if i were iron man, i'd have this girlfriend who knew my true identity. she'd be a wreck, 'cause she'd always be worrying that i was going to die, yet so proud of the man i'd become. she'd be wildly conflicted, which would only make her more crazy about me.”

“tell me you never think about that night.”

“what night?”

“you know.”

“are you talking about the night that we danced and went up on the roof, and then you went downstairs to get me a drink, and... you left me there, by myself?”

“is that the night you're talking about? thought so. will that be all, mr. stark?”

“yes, that will be all, miss potts.”

“i’m not going to make it. oh god, i’m serious. give me a little space. i can’t—“
“get up.”
“oh god, i can’t go through with it. i’m telling you.”
“we don’t have time for this, we have to go!”
“oh god, you don’t wanna see that!”

“where am i? do i look weird?”
“yeah, you look like you do everyday. you look like you have a hangover.”
“miss me with the schadenfreude, will ya? i literally just almost died in there. gimme some toast, gimme some crackers, ginger ale, anything.”

“gimme some advil.”
“i don’t have advil, i’ve got motrin.”
“motrin? i’m telling you, there’s something seriously wrong—“
“yes there is something seriously wrong—“
“with giving a grown man motrin.”
“with you. it’s a brand name—“
“I’M NOT ON MY CYCLE, PEPPER!”
“it’s ibuprofen!”

“for god’s sake!”
“ABORT MISSION! there it is— ABORT! tell him to stop saying we’re dropping! I AM NOT DOING THIS MISSION”
“WE’RE NOT ABORTING THE MISSION! do you have any idea the level of coordination it took for the DOD to approve this?!”

“you are a baby. do you know that? you’re being a baby.”
“my inner child heard you say that, stop it.”
“your inner child needs a spanking.”
“don’t do that, it’ll just make him horny.”
“that’s disgusting.”

“we are over the drop zone.”
“what?”
“yes.”
“let’s do this, baby.”

“i know i can be selfish sometimes, and i know i don’t say it enough, but how’s my hair?”
“you said that before.”
“i know but this time i mean it. is it pc enough? do i need more product?”
“yeah you’re looking good.”
“you like the wind blown look?”
“yeah.”

“gimme a smooch for good luck. i might not make it back. this is heavy stuff.”
“go get ‘em boss.”
“you complete me!”

*tony ignores senator stern to talk to pepper*

senator stern: “mr stark, could we pick up now where we left off? mr stark. please.”

“yes, dear?”

senator stern: “look, i’m no expert—“

tony: “in prostitution? of course not. you're a senator. come on.”

*while justin hammer talks*
“agent coulson’s here. i’ll get his take on this.”
*tony grabs pepper’s hand*
“ben’s chili bowl. hotdogs for the ride home.”
“chili on the dog or on the side?”
“it doesn’t matter. get everything. tons of stuff.”
“ok.”
*tony checks out pepper’s ass*

jarvis: “you are running out of both time and options. unfortunately, the device that's keeping you alive is also killing you. miss potts is approaching. i recommend that you inform her—“
tony: “mute.”
