Army guy: Rogers get in there!

Peggy: Dude, he’s bleeding out, chill

Army guy: OK! Howard Stark, you’re up!

Howard: Aw hell no! Risking other people’s lives? Fine. Risking my life? Ain’t gonna happen.

Howard: Yeah, not gonna happen

Peggy: For God’s sake, I’ll do it myself!

Howard: Hell yeah!

Army guy: But… but you’re a girl! Stark, you can’t make a girl a super-soldier!

Howard: Uh-huh, yeah. But I can, tho.
