Cut to Steve and Tony in New Jersey, 1970.
OUR WATCHER INFORMANT, STAN LEE (1922-2018 R.I.P): [Driving past Steve and Tony] Hey, man! Make love, not war!
TONY STARK: Clearly, you weren't actually born here, right?
STEVE ROGERS: The idea of me was.
TONY STARK: Right. Well, imagine you're SHIELD, running a quasi-fascistic intelligence organization. Where do you hide it?
STEVE ROGERS: In plain sight.
[Tony and Steve are in an elevator with a lady]
TONY STARK: [Leaving the elevator] Good luck on your mission, Captain.
STEVE ROGERS: [Waiting for another floor] Good luck on your project, doctor.
ELEVATOR LADY: You're new here?
STEVE ROGERS: Not exactly.
[Cut to Tony in what seems to be a lab area and he is looking for the tesseract]
TONY STARK: [Grabbing Tesseract] Gotcha. Back in the game.
HOWARD STARK: Arnim, you in there? Arnim? Hey! Door's this way, pal.
TONY STARK: Oh, yeah.
HOWARD STARK: I'm looking for Dr. Zola. Have you seen him?
TONY STARK: Yeah, no, Dr. Zol– No, I haven't seen a soul. [awkwardly bumps into a chair] Pardon me.
HOWARD STARK: Do I know you?
TONY STARK: No, sir. I'm a– a visitor from MIT.
HOWARD STARK: Huh. MIT. Got a name?
TONY STARK: Uh– Howard.
HOWARD STARK: Well, that'll be easy to remember.
TONY STARK: Howard– Potts.
HOWARD STARK: Well, I'm Howard Stark. [Holds out hand to shake.]
TONY STARK: Hi. [Holds Howard's finger]
HOWARD STARK: Shake it, don't pull it.
TONY STARK: Yeah–
HOWARD STARK: You look a little green around the gills there, Potts.
TONY STARK: I'm fine. Just, long hours.
HOWARD STARK: Wanna get some air? Hello, Potts.
TONY STARK: Yeah. That would be swell.
HOWARD STARK: That way.
TONY STARK: Okay.
HOWARD STARK: Need your briefcase?
[Tony grabs the case]
HOWARD STARK: You're not one of those beatniks, are ya, Potts?
[Cut to a younger Hank Pym in his laboratory.]
CAPTAIN STEVENS (STEVE ROGERS): Hello. Dr. Pym?
HANK PYM: That would be the number that you called. Yes.
CAPTAIN STEVENS (STEVE ROGERS): This is Captain Stevens from shipping. We have a package for you.
HANK PYM: Bring it up.
CAPTAIN STEVENS (STEVE ROGERS): Well, that's the thing, sir. We can't.
HANK PYM: I'm confused. I thought that was your job.
CAPTAIN STEVENS (STEVE ROGERS): Well, it's just– Sir, the box is glowing and, to be honest, some of our mail guys aren't feeling that great.
HANK PYM: They didn't open it, did they?
CAPTAIN STEVENS (STEVE ROGERS): Yeah, they did. You better get down here.
[We then see Pym running down a hallway]
HANK PYM: Excuse me! Out of the way!
[cut back to Howard and Tony]
TONY STARK: So, flowers and sauerkraut. You got a big date tonight?
HOWARD STARK: My wife's expecting. And, uh– Too much time in the office.
TONY STARK: Congratulations.
HOWARD STARK: Thanks. Hold this, will you?
TONY STARK: Yeah, sure. How far along is she?
HOWARD STARK: I don't know– Uh– She's at the point where she can't stand the sound of my chewing. I guess I'll be eating dinner in the pantry again.
TONY STARK: I have a little girl.
HOWARD STARK: A girl would be nice. Less of a chance she'd turn out exactly like me.
TONY STARK: What'd be so awful about that?
HOWARD STARK: Let's just say that the greater good has rarely outweighed my own self-interests.
[cut to elevator lady talking to security guards about Tony and Captain America looking fishy]
SECURITY OFFICER: And you've never seen these two men before?
ELEVATOR LADY: No, I've got an eye for this. The two of them looked fishy.
SECURITY OFFICER: Can you describe them?
ELEVATOR LADY: Well, one of them had a hippie beard.
SECURITY OFFICER: Hippie? Like Bee Gees or Mungo Jerry?
ELEVATOR LADY: Definitely Mungo Jerry.
SECURITY OFFICER: Yeah, this is Chesler. I need every available MPs on sub-level 6. We have a potential breach.
[Steve walks into a room. Feeling safe, he suddenly see's a picture of himself. Then he's surprised to see his love Margret Carter. Cut to Tony and Howard still talking to each other.]
TONY STARK: So, where are you at with names?
HOWARD STARK: Well, if it's a boy, my wife likes Elmonzo.
TONY STARK: Huh, Might wanna let that stew awwhile. You got time.
HOWARD STARK: Let me ask you a question. When your kid was born– were you nervous?
TONY STARK: Wildly. Yeah.
HOWARD STARK: Did you feel qualified? Like you had any idea how to successfully operate that thing?
TONY STARK: I literally pieced it together as I went along, I thought about what my Dad did, and–
HOWARD STARK: My old man, he never met a problem he couldn't solve with a belt.
TONY STARK: I thought my dad was tough on me. And now, looking back, I just remember the good stuff, you know. He did drop the odd pearl.
HOWARD STARK: Yeah? Like what?
TONY STARK: "No amount of money ever bought a second of time."
HOWARD STARK: Smart guy.
TONY STARK: He did his best.
HOWARD STARK: Let me tell you. That kid's not even here yet, and there's nothing I wouldn't do for him. Good to meet you, Potts.
TONY STARK: Yeah, Howard– Everything's gonna be all right. Thank you– for everything– you've done for this country.
HOWARD STARK: Jarvis, have we ever met that guy?
EDWIN JARVIS: You meet a lot of people, sir.
HOWARD STARK: Seems very familiar. Weird beard.
