“Avengers fucking assemble, asshole!"- Hit Girl”
“But I was right and the real world seemed increasingly nonsensical. Why train for years to do a job you bitched about all day? Didn't it make more sense to follow your dreams and maybe do a little good at the same time? I didn't want to be a lawyer or a bank manager or a goddamn burger flipper.

“GET OUT OF MY HEAD, YOU STUPID CRIPPLE!”
“No, NAKED GUY'S the stupid one here, naked guy -- NAKED GUY WENT AND MADE HULK ANGRY!! ”
“Guess that's thirty-one pieces of silver you've got now, huh? Sleep well, Judas.”
