has returned to New York City,</i>

They think I'm that... vigilante?

you've been on the news twice. Impressive.

351
00:18:48,250 --> 00:18:50,416

352
00:18:51,208 --> 00:18:52,708
Clint, I gotta go.

353
00:18:52,791 --> 00:18:56,375
Uh, no, no, no. That is, uh,
the last thing you need to do, actually.

354
00:18:56,458 --> 00:19:00,250
Let's not forget the Tracksuit guys
trying to kill you twice yesterday.

355
00:19:02,083 --> 00:19:06,541
I'm going to find this suit,
and until I do, you're gonna stay put.

356
00:19:07,125 --> 00:19:08,625
It's not safe, obviously.

357
00:19:08,708 --> 00:19:10,958
Not showing up at work is not safe.

358
00:19:12,208 --> 00:19:13,666

359
00:19:13,750 --> 00:19:15,583
Surprised she hasn't called me already.

360
00:19:16,083 --> 00:19:17,500
Just stay put, please.

361
00:19:17,583 --> 00:19:22,583
Look, if I stay put,
she's just gonna come and find me, anyway.

362
00:19:22,666 --> 00:19:26,125
She owns a security company.
It's literally the safest place I can go.

363

Yeah, no. You're just
not gonna listen to me, are you?

364
00:19:30,916 --> 00:19:33,666
I want to, but no.

365
00:19:34,250 --> 00:19:35,416

367
00:19:36,958 --> 00:19:38,958
All right, I'll go see what else she has.

368
00:19:43,458 --> 00:19:45,041

369

388
00:20:26,583 --> 00:20:27,791
And this ninja suit,

389
00:20:27,875 --> 00:20:30,083
and the people trying to kill you
'cause of it.

390
00:20:30,166 --> 00:20:32,583
It's a problem
that I'm going to solve today,

391
00:20:32,666 --> 00:20:33,875
so I can go home to my family.

392
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:35,666
No, it's branding.

393
00:20:35,750 --> 00:20:39,458
Your whole thing is that you're low-key.
It's a very hard brand to sell.

394
00:20:39,541 --> 00:20:41,875
Well, I'm not really trying
to sell anything.

395
00:20:41,958 --> 00:20:43,583
It should technically make you cooler,

396
00:20:43,666 --> 00:20:46,833
but with the scary stuff that's
happened since the Avengers appeared,

397
00:20:46,916 --> 00:20:50,041
people don't want that cynical,
cool thing anymore.

398
00:20:50,125 --> 00:20:51,625
They want sincerity.

399
00:20:51,708 --> 00:20:53,250
- That right?
- Not self-seriousness,

400
00:20:53,333 --> 00:20:55,375
but a heart-on-your-sleeve sincerity.

401
00:20:55,458 --> 00:20:56,916
I see.

402
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,875
You are very contained.
Keep your cards close to your vest,

403
00:20:59,958 --> 00:21:04,708
which you wear over a suit of armor and,
like, 16 other layers of self-protection.

404
00:21:04,791 --> 00:21:07,916
All of which, under, finally,
is your heart.

405
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,250
So, not exactly on your sleeve.

406
00:21:10,333 --> 00:21:12,458
Again, not really trying to sell anything.

407
00:21:12,541 --> 00:21:14,500
But you do, anyway.

or toys off the shelf.

the last time we see each other.

416
00:21:43,750 --> 00:21:45,000
and I almost already knew that.

417
00:21:45,083 --> 00:21:47,583
Right, maybe I taught you
how to bandage a wound.

418

- But what about trick arrows?

that she would be hostile.

457
00:23:30,875 --> 00:23:33,666
