Movie quotes

  • (..) I need your help. It's nice to be needed. It's dangerous. I'd be disappointed if it wasn't. Ultron took you folks out of play to buy himself time. My contacts all say he's building something. The amount of Vibranium he made off with, I don't think it's just one thing. What about Ultron himself? (..)
