Stephen McFeely - Civil War: Avengers Discuss the Sokovia Accords lyrics

[Back at the Avengers compound, the team is discussing the Sokovia Accords] JAMES "RHODEY" RHODES: Secretary Ross has a Congressional Medal of Honor which is one more than you have. SAM WILSON: So, let's say we agree to this thing. How long is it gonna be before they lo-jack us like a bunch of common criminals? JAMES "RHODEY" RHODES: A 117 countries want to sign this. 117, Sam, and you're just like, "No, it's cool. " SAM WILSON: How long are you going to play both sides? VISION: I have an equation. SAM WILSON: Oh, this will clear it up. VISION: In the 8 years since Mr. Stark announced himself as Iron Man, the number of noted enhanced persons has grown exponentially. And during the same period, the number of potentially world-ending events has risen at a commissive rate. STEVE ROGERS: Are you saying it's our fault? VISION: I'm saying there maybe a causality. Our very strength invites challenge. Challenge incites conflict. And conflict... breeds catastrophe. Oversight. Oversight is not an idea that could be dismissed out-of-hand. JAMES "RHODEY" RHODES: Boom. NATASHA ROMANOFF: Tony, you're being uncharacteristically non-hyper verbal. STEVE ROGERS: That's because he's already made up his mind. TONY STARK: Boy, you know me so well. Actually, I'm nursing my electromagnetic headache. That's what's going on, Cap. It's just pain... says Humphrey. Who's putting coffee grounds in the disposal? Am I running a bed and breakfast for a biker gang? [Tony holds up a piece of tech with a picture of a young man on it] 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 soul, before he parked it behind then desk. See the world, maybe be of service. Charlie didn't want to go to Vegas which is what I would do. He didn't go to Paris or Amsterdam. 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 kicking a**. There's no decision making process here. We need to be put in check. Whatever form that takes, I'm game. If we can't accept limitations, we're bounderless, 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, for not taking responsibility for our actions. These documents just shifts the blames. JAMES "RHODEY" 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 and stop manufacturing them. STEVE ROGERS: Tony. You chose to do that. If we sign these, 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 going to be done to us later. That's a fact. That won't be pretty. WANDA MAXIMOFF: You're saying they will come for me. VISION: We would protect you. NATASHA ROMANOFF: Maybe Tony is 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 our a** a few years ago. NATASHA ROMANOFF: I'm just... playing the field. We have made some very public mistakes. We need to win their trust back. TONY STARK: Focus up. I'm sorry, did I just mishear you or did you agree with me. NATASHA ROMANOFF: Oh, I want to take it back. TONY STARK: No, no, no. You can't retract it. Thank you. I'm impress by what you did. Okay, case close- I win. [Steve receives a text that read "She's gone. In her sleep."] STEVE ROGERS: I have to go. [He leaves the room as the rest of the team looks at him. He goes in the stairs, puts his head down in sadness]
