Selvig Quotes in The Avengers (2012)

Loki: [as Fury tries to leave with the Tesseract ] Please don't. I still need that.

[he turns to Loki and drifts down to his landing pad]

Jarvis: Sir, the Mark VII is not ready for deployment.

Iron Man: Then skip the spinning rims! We're on the clock!

[Lands and has his armor removed]

Nick Fury: Where's Barton?

[Barton grabs his bow]

Clint Barton: And an eyeball.
