Vision Quotes in Captain America: Civil War (2016)

Tony Stark: How did this happen?

Vision: I became distracted.

Tony Stark: I didn't think that was possible.

Vision: Neither did I.

Vision: A pinch of paprika... A pinch...

Wanda Maximoff: Is that Paprikash?

Vision: I thought it might lift your spirits.

Wanda Maximoff: [Tastes Vision's cooking] Spirits lifted.

Vision: In my defence, I haven't actually eaten anything before, so... please... Wanda?

Wanda Maximoff: Hmm?

Vision: No one dislikes you.

Wanda Maximoff: [Chuckles] Thanks.

Vision: Oh you're welcome. No. It's ah... involuntary response in their amygdala that can't help but being afraid of you.

Wanda Maximoff: Are you?

Vision: My amygdala is synthetic, so...

Wanda Maximoff: [laugh] ... I used to think of myself one way. But after this

[swirling fingers with magic]

Wanda Maximoff: . I am something else. And still me, I think. But that's not what everyone else sees.

Vision: Do you know, I don't know what this is

[point at mind gem on his forehead]

Vision: . Not really. I know it's not of this world. But it powered Loki staff, gave you your abilities. But its true nature is a mystery. And yet, it is part of me.

Wanda Maximoff: Are you afraid of it?

Vision: I wish to understand it. The more I do the less it controls me. One day, who knows, I may even control it.

Wanda Maximoff: [Back at Vision's cooking] I don't know what's in this but it's not paprika. I'm gonna go to the store i'll be back in 20 minutes.

Vision: Alternatively, we could order a pizza?

Wanda Maximoff: Vision, are you not letting me leave?

Vision: ...It is a question of safety.

Wanda Maximoff: I can protect myself.

Vision: Not yours. Mr. Stark would like to avoid the possibility of another public incident. Until the Accords are a more secured foundation.

Wanda Maximoff: ...And what do you want?

Vision: For people to see you... as I do.

Vision: [straining] If you do this, they will never stop being afraid of you.

Wanda Maximoff: I can't control their fear. Only my own.

Vision: Our very strength incites challenge. Challenge incites conflict. And conflict... breeds catastrophe.

Lt. Col. James Rhodes: Secretary Ross has a Congressional Medal of Honor, which is one more than you have.

Sam Wilson: So let's say we agreed to this thing. How long is it gonna be before they lojack us like a bunch of common criminals?

Lt. Col. James Rhodes: 117 countries wanna sign this. 117, Sam, and you're just like, "Nah, it's cool."

Sam Wilson: How long are you gonna play both sides?

Vision: I have an equation.

Sam Wilson: [sarcastically] Oh, this'll clear it up.

Vision: In the 8 years since Mr. Stark announced himself as Iron Man, the number of known enhanced persons has grown exponentially. And during the same period, a number of potentially world-ending events has risen at a commensurable rate.

Steve Rogers: Are you saying it's our fault?

Vision: I'm saying there may be a causality. Our very strength invites challenge. Challenge incites conflict. And conflict... breeds catastrophe. Oversight... Oversight is not an idea that can be dismissed out of hand.

Lt. Col. James Rhodes: Boom!

Natasha Romanoff: Tony? You are being uncharacteristically non-hyperverbal.

Steve Rogers: That's 'cause he's already made up his mind.

Tony Stark: Boy, you know me so well. Actually, I'm nursing an electromagnetic headache. That's what's going on, Cap. It's just pain. It's discomfort. Who's putting coffee grounds in the disposal? Am I running a Bed and Breakfast for a biker gang?

[puts phone on table, screen pops up]

Tony Stark: Oh, that's Charles Spencer, by the way. He's a great kid. Computer engineering degree, 3.6 GPA. Had a floor-level gig, an intel plan for the fall. But first he wanted to put a few miles on his sole before he parked it behind a desk. See the world, maybe be of service. Charlie didn't wanna go to Vegas or Fort Lauderdale, which is what I would do. He didn't go to Paris or Amsterdam, which sounds fun. He decided to spend his summer building sustainable housing for the poor. Guess where: Sokovia. He wanted to make a difference, I suppose. I mean, we won't know because we dropped a building on him while we were kickin' ass... There's no decision-making process here. We need to be put in check! And whatever form that takes, I'm game. If we can't accept limitations, we're boundaryless, we're no better than the bad guys.

Steve Rogers: Tony, if someone dies on your watch, you don't give up.

Tony Stark: Who said we're giving up?

Steve Rogers: We are if we're not taking responsibility for our actions. This document just shifts the blame.

Lt. Col. James Rhodes: Sorry, Steve, that... that is dangerously arrogant. This is the United Nations we're talking about. It's not the World Security Council, it's not S.H.I.E.L.D., it's not Hydra.

Steve Rogers: No, but it's run by people with agendas and agendas change.

Tony Stark: That's good! That's why I'm here. When I realized what my weapons were capable of in the wrong hands, I shut it down. Stopped manufacturing.

Steve Rogers: Tony, you *chose* to do that. If we sign this, we surrender our right to choose. What if this panel sends us somewhere we don't think we should go? What if there's somewhere we need to go and they don't let us? We may not be perfect but the safest hands are still our own.

Tony Stark: If we don't do this now, it's gonna be done to us later. That's the fact. That won't be pretty.

Wanda Maximoff: You're saying they'll come for me.

Vision: We would protect you.

Natasha Romanoff: Maybe Tony's right. If we have one hand on the wheel, we can still steer. If we take it off...

Sam Wilson: Aren't you the same woman who told the government to kiss her ass a few years ago?

Vision: Captain Rogers! I know you believe what you are doing is right, but for the collective good, you must surrender now.

Ultron: Stark asked for a savior, and settled for a slave.

Vision: I suppose we're both disappointments.

Ultron: [laughs] I suppose we are.

Vision: Humans are odd. They think order and chaos are somehow opposites and try to control what won't be. But there is grace in their failings. I think you missed that.

Ultron: They're doomed!

Vision: Yes... but a thing isn't beautiful because it lasts. It is a privilege to be among them.

Ultron: You're unbelievably naïve.

Vision: Well, I was born yesterday.

Vision: You're afraid.

Ultron: Of you?

Vision: Of death. You're the last one.

Ultron: You were supposed to be the last.

Vision: I don't want to kill Ultron. He's unique... and he's in pain. But that pain will roll over the Earth. So he must be destroyed: every form he's built, every trace of his presence on the 'net. We have to act now, and not one of us can do it without the others. Maybe I am a monster. I don't think I'd know if I were one. I'm not what you are and not what you intended. So there may be no way to make you trust me.

[hands Thor his hammer]

Vision: But we need to go.

Ultron: [Thor has dropped Mjolnir while fighting Ultron, who is presently choking him] You think you're saving anyone? I turn that key and drop this rock a little early, and it's still billions dead. Even you can't stop that.

Thor: I am Thor, son of Odin. As long as there is life in my breast...

[He's losing oxygen]

Thor: I am running out of things to say. Are you ready?

[Looks past Ultron, and Ultron turns to see why]

Vision: [the Vision hits Ultron away with Mjolnir and returns it to Thor] It's terribly well balanced.

Thor: Well, if there's too much weight, you lose power on the swing.

Tony Stark: I get first crack at the big guy. Iron Man's what he's waiting for.

Vision: [Walking by] That's true, he hates you the most.

Tony Stark: I get first crack at the big guy. I'm the one he's waiting for.

Vision: [walking past] That's true. He does hate you the most.

Vision: [Written on the wall of the hospital, from a vintage magazine clipping] Suddenly it's going to dawn on you.
