Plot: Tony Stark is the complete playboy who also happens to be an engineering genius. While in Afghanistan demonstrating a new missile, he's captured and wounded. His captors want him to assemble a missile for them but instead he creates an armored suit and a means to prevent his death from the shrapnel left in his chest by the attack. He uses the armored suit to escape. Back in the U.S. he announces his company will cease making weapons and he begins work on an updated armored suit only to find that Obadiah Stane, his second in command at Stark industries has been selling Stark weapons to the insurgents. He uses his new suit to return to Afghanistan to destroy the arms and then to stop Stane from misusing his research.

Quotes:
Tony Stark: [toasting after giving a weapon's demonstration] To Peace.
Christine Everheart: Mr. Stark! Christine Everheart, Vanity Fair magazine. Can I ask you a couple of questions?::Hogan: [whispers to Stark] She's cute.::Tony Stark: [whispers to Hogan] She's alright.::[turns around]::Tony Stark: Hi!::Christine Everheart: Hi.::Tony Stark: Yeah. Okay, go.::Christine Everheart: You've been called the Da Vinci of our time. What do you say to that?::Tony Stark: Absolutely ridiculous. I don't paint.::Christine Everheart: And what do you say to your other nickname, the Merchant of Death?::Tony Stark: That's not bad. Let me guess... Berkeley?::Christine Everheart: Brown, actually.::Tony Stark: Well, Ms. Brown. It's an imperfect world, but it's the only one we got. I guarantee you the day weapons are no longer needed to keep the peace, I'll start making bricks and beams for baby hospitals.::Christine Everheart: Rehearse that much?::Tony Stark: Every night in front of the mirror before bedtime.::Christine Everheart: I can see that.::Tony Stark: I'd like to show you firsthand.::Christine Everheart: [exasperated] All I'm looking for is a straight answer.::Tony Stark: [removing his shades] OK, here's a straight answer. My old man had a philosophy: peace means having a bigger stick than the other guy.::Christine Everheart: That's a great line, coming from a guy selling the sticks.::Tony Stark: My father helped defeat Nazis. He worked on the Manhattan Project. A lot of people, including your professors at Brown, would call that being a hero.::Christine Everheart: And a lot of people would also call that war-profiteering.::Tony Stark: Tell me, do you plan to report on the millions we've saved by advancing medical technology or kept from starvation with our intelli-crops? All those breakthroughs, military funding, honey.::Christine Everheart: Have you ever lost an hour of sleep in your life?::Tony Stark: I'm be prepared to lose a few with you.
Virginia 'Pepper' Potts: [walking in on Stark's robots trying to get him out of the Iron Man suit] What is going on here?::Tony Stark: Let's face it, this is not the worst thing you've caught me doing.::Virginia 'Pepper' Potts: Are those bullet holes?
Tony Stark: [reading the newspaper] Iron Man. That's kind of catchy. It's got a nice ring to it. I mean it's not technically accurate. The suit's a gold titanium alloy, but it's kind of provocative, the imagery anyway.
[after testing the suit's capabilities]::Tony Stark: Yeah, I can fly.
Rhodey: [eyeing the Mark II Iron Man suit] Next time, baby.
[last lines]::Tony Stark: There's been speculation that I was involved in the events that occurred on the freeway and the rooftop...::Christine Everheart: I'm sorry, Mr. Stark, but do you honestly expect us to believe that that was a bodyguard in a suit that conveniently appeared, despite the fact that...::Tony Stark: I know that it's confusing. It is one thing to question the official story, and another thing entirely to make wild accusations, or insinuate that I'm a superhero.::Christine Everheart: I never said you were a superhero.::Tony Stark: Didn't?::Christine Everheart: Mmm-mmm.::Tony Stark: Well, good, because that would be outlandish and, uh, fantastic. I'm just not the hero type. Clearly. With this laundry list of character defects, all the mistakes I've made, largely public.::Rhodey: [whispers to Tony] Just stick to the cards, man.::Tony Stark: Yeah, okay.::Tony Stark: [holds up his notes and pauses] The truth is...::Tony Stark: [puts cards down] I am Iron Man.
Tony Stark: I never got to say goodbye to my father. There's questions I would've asked him. I would've asked him how he felt about what his company did, if he was conflicted, if he ever had doubts. Or maybe he was every inch of man we remember from the newsreels. I saw young Americans killed by the very weapons I created to defend them and protect them. And I saw that I had become part of a system that is comfortable with zero-accountability.::Press Reporter #1: Mr. Stark! What happened over there?::Tony Stark: I had my eyes opened. I came to realize that I had more to offer this world than just making things that blow up. And that is why, effective immediately, I am shutting down the weapons manufacturing division of Stark Industries.
Tony Stark: Give me a scotch. I'm starving.
[after end credits]::Tony Stark: [arriving home] Evening, JARVIS!::Jarvis: [voice distorted] Welcome home, sir...::[Stark stops as he sees a figure in his living room]::Nick Fury: "I am Iron Man". You think you're the only superhero in the world? Mr. Stark, you've become part of a bigger universe. You just don't know it yet.::Tony Stark: Who the hell are you?::Nick Fury: Nick Fury. Director of SHIELD.::Tony Stark: Ah.::Nick Fury: I'm here to talk to you about the Avenger Initiative.
