Movie quotes

  • (..) I'm sorry, isn't everything? I thought humans were more evolved than this. Excuse me, did we come to your planet and blow stuff up? You treat your champions with such mistrust. Are you boys really that na've? S.H.I.E.L.D. Monitors potential threats. Captain America's on threat watch? We all are. (..)
