Ben Pepper and Natalie are back in Malibu.
Pepper: [on phone] Yes, but the fundamentals of the company are still very, very strong despite the events in Monaco.
Natalie: [also on phone. But a different phone] Yes, of course.
Ben: The AP wants a quote.
Pepper: [covers speaker] Don't tell them. Fax them...
Rhodey: [entering] Where is he?
Ben: He doesn't want to be disturbed.
Pepper: He's downstairs.
News reader (on television): But what happened in Monaco?
Pepper: Yes, but....
News reader: But his continuing erratic behaviour may lead many people to ask themselves, "Can this man still protect us?"
Pepper: Iron Man never stopped protecting us. The events in Monaco proved that.
Later Tony's rash on his chest is getting worse. Natalie enters.
Natalie: Do you know which watch you'd like to wear tonight, Mr Stark?
Tony: I'll give them a look. I should cancel the party.
Natalie: Probably.
Tony: Yeah. 'Cause it's...
Natalie: Ill-timed.
Tony: Right, sends the wrong message.
Natalie: Inappropriate. [Tony drinks a bit of his drink that Natalie hands him] Is that dirty enough for you?
Tony: Gold face, brown hand. The Jaeger. I'll give that a look. Bring them over. [Natalie hands him the box of watches] I'll take that. Why don't you... [She sits, smiles softly and starts helping him cover his bruise] I gotta say it. It's hard to get a read on you. Where are you from?
Natalie: Legal.
Tony: Can I ask you a question, hypothetically? Bit odd. If this was your last birthday party you were ever gonna have, how would you celebrate it?
Natalie: I'd do whatever I wanted to do with whoever I wanted to do it with.
She leaves Tony finishes his drink. Scene change. He's now drunk, by a DJ, dancing in the suit. Cars pull up outside
Person: Good evening
Person: Good evening
Ben and Natasha stands near the bar her in a dress and him in a tux.
Ben:this is so weird.
Natasha:True.
With Rhodey.
Rhodey: Yes, sir, I understand. No. No, sir, that will not be necessary. I'll handle it. Sir, I personally guarantee that within 24 hours, Iron Man will be back on watch. [Enters party] Hey Pepper.
Pepper: I'm going to get some air.
Rhodey: What's wrong?
Pepper: [Showing Rhodey Tony] I don't know what to do.
Rhodey: You gotta be kidding me. [Tony falls over, drunk] That's it, I'm making....
Pepper: No, no, no. Don't call anyone.
Rhodey: Pepper. This is ridiculous. I just stuck my neck out for this guy.
Pepper: I know. I know. I get it. I'm gonna handle it, okay Just let me handle it.
Rhodey: Handle it. Or I'm gonna have to.
Tony: [To crowd] You know, the question I get asked most often is, "Tony, how do you go to the bathroom in the suit?" Just like that.
