Alright. Fine. [BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE, because Charles is not backing down on this point in the slightest, and God help you if you thought he was going to. Think what you want about him, but the generally aggravating challenge that came along with getting through to you has very little to do with why he's stuck around this long, at the end of the day. And he is very stubborn.]
So that might be true about the press, and the American public back home. But what do they matter, Tony? Miss Potts doesn't care about what product you're going to churn out next. I sincerely doubt Lt. Colonel Rhodes does, and I certainly don't. [He let out a short laugh.] And what about the people on the Barge? Stark Industries doesn't even exist for most people here, no one cares who your family is and what they've done, and yet you still had plenty of people visiting you in Zero trying to look after you.

None of them had had to do that, but they'd done it anyway. Because, you know. They cared. Which is a perfectly normal thing for people to do about people they liked.]
So don't sit here and tell me that's how everyone does or should judge your worth, because that isn't fair to us and it isn't fair to you. And just because it's true back home doesn't mean their opinions matter more than the people who actually care about you.
