Christine Everheart : Mr. Stark! Christine Everheart, Vanity Fair magazine. Can I ask you a couple of questions?
Hogan : [whispers to Stark] She's cute.
Tony Stark : [whispers to Hogan] She's alright.
[turns around]
Tony Stark : Hi!
Christine Everheart : Hi.
Tony Stark : Yeah. Okay, go.
Christine Everheart : You've been called the Da Vinci of our time. What do you say to that?
Tony Stark : Absolutely ridiculous. I don't paint.
Christine Everheart : And what do you say to your other nickname, the Merchant of Death?
Tony Stark : That's not bad. Let me guess... Berkeley?
Christine Everheart : Brown, actually.
Tony Stark : Well, Ms. Brown. It's an imperfect world, but it's the only one we got. I guarantee you the day weapons are no longer needed to keep the peace, I'll start making bricks and beams for baby hospitals.
Christine Everheart : Rehearse that much?
Tony Stark : Every night in front of the mirror before bedtime.
Christine Everheart : I can see that.
Tony Stark : I'd like to show you firsthand.
Christine Everheart : [exasperated] All I'm looking for is a straight answer.
Tony Stark : OK, here's a straight answer. My old man had a philosophy: peace means having a bigger stick than the other guy.
Christine Everheart : That's a great line, coming from a guy selling the sticks.
Tony Stark : My father helped defeat Nazis. He worked on the Manhattan Project. A lot of people, including your professors at Brown, would call that being a hero.
Christine Everheart : And a lot of people would also call that war-profiteering.
Tony Stark : Tell me,
[removing his shades]
Tony Stark : do you plan to report on the millions we've saved by advancing medical technology or kept from starvation with our intelli-crops? All those breakthroughs, military funding, honey.
Christine Everheart : Have you ever lost an hour of sleep in your life?
Tony Stark : I'd be prepared to lose a few with you.
