Billionaire Tony Stark returns in 'Iron Man 2' to face a dangerous new enemy (and his own personal demons), while the consequences of his new superhero persona spin his life out of control. The movie follows the tried-and-true Hollywood blockbuster formula to the letter, complete with elaborate fight sequences, eye-popping bombshells and breathtaking pyrotechnics. And like any good movie in a promising franchise, the sequel delivers lines teenage boys are sure to be quoting all summer long (no matter how much we'd like them to stop).
Here are 20 of 'Iron Man 2's' most memorable lines.

And like any good movie in a promising franchise, the sequel delivers lines teenage boys are sure to be quoting all summer long (no matter how much we'd like them to stop).
Here are 20 of 'Iron Man 2's most memorable lines.
Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) [to Senate Armed Services Committee]: "To turn over the Iron Man suit would be to turn over myself, which is tantamount to indentured servitude. Or prostitution, depending on what state you're in..."
[Laughter from the Senate gallery]
Senator Stern: "Look, I'm no expert."
Tony Stark: "In prostitution? Of course not, you're a senator."
Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) [To a drunken Stark, wearing his Iron Man suit inside a giant donut sign]: "Sir, I'm going to have to ask you to exit the donut."
Ivan Vanko/ Whiplash (Mickey Rourke): "If you can make God bleed, then people will cease to believe in him ... All I have to do is sit here and watch, as the world will consume you."
Tony Stark: "Where will you watch the world consume me from? That's right -- a prison cell! I'll send you a bar of soap."
Happy Hogan (Jon Favreau) [seeing Marvel creator Stan Lee approach, whispers to Stark]: "Larry King."
Tony Stark [to Stan Lee]: "Larry!"
Justin Hammer (Sam Rockwell): "I'd love to leave my door unlocked when I leave the house, but this ain't Canada!"
Man in Crowd [to Stark at opening of Stark Expo]: "Blow something up!"
Tony Stark: "Blow something up? I already did that."
Lt Col Rhodes (Don Cheadle) [catching Stark and Pepper Potts smooching]: "You guys look like two seals fighting over a grape."
Tony Stark [to Senate Armed Services Committee]: "You want my property? You can't have it. But I did you big a favor. I have successfully privatized world peace!"
'JARVIS' the Computer (Paul Bettany) [to Stark, after pulling up YouTube footage of Tony at Senate hearing]: "May I say how refreshing it is to finally see you on a video with your clothing on, Sir."
Tony Stark [to assembled guests at his birthday party]: "You know, the question I get asked most often is, 'Tony, how do you go to the bathroom in your suit?' [Pauses, making relieved face] Just like that."
Justin Hammer [describing high-tech missile]: "If it were any smarter, it'd write a book. A book that would make 'Ulysses' look like it was written in crayon ... It's completely elegant, it's bafflingly beautiful, and it's capable of reducing the population of any standing structure to zero. I call it 'The Ex-Wife.'"
Natalie Rushman (Scarlett Johansson) [handing Stark a martini]: "Is that dirty enough for you?"
Tony Stark [to Nick Fury]: "I already told you I don't want to join your super secret boy band."
Agent Coulson [to Tony Stark]: "If you attempt to leave or play games I will tase you and watch 'SuperNanny' while you drool on the carpet."
Iron Man [to Lt Col Rhodes in an Iron Man suit]: "You wanna be a war machine?! Take your shot!"
Howard Stark (John Slattery) [in 1974 video reel left for Tony]:" What is, and always will be, my greatest creation, is you."
Justin Hammer [to Lt. Col Rhodes]: "You're looking at a ... 40 millimeter grenade launcher -- tear gas, smoke: Hippie control."
Tony Stark: "If it's one thing I've proven, it's that you can count on me to pleasure myself."
Nick Fury [wearing his eye patch]: "Tony, remember, I got my eye on you."
Tony Stark: "I am Iron Man."
