“ oh, no. What did I do? ”
“ you’re in my bed. ”

“ where’s an Avenger when you need one? ”

“ you’re a total poser. ”
“ i’m not a poser. ”
“ it does look like you think everyone’s looking at you, like, all the time. ”
“ i was trying to actually do something good to make up for all the pain and suffering that we caused. Trying to be more than just a trained killer. ”
“ you were fooling yourself because pain and suffering is every day and we are both still a trained killer. ”
