I'm sorry Tony, but we're watching the making of your very first suit.

At first Tony looks confused but then realizes and pales slightly. Everyone else is curious why I'm apologizing not knowing that the first one was made in Afghanistan.

Tony Stark: [Directing the men to where to put things while Yinsen's translating] If this is going to be my work station, I want it well-lit. I want these up. I need welding gear. I don't care if it's acetylene or propane. I need a soldering station. I need helmets. I'm gonna need goggles. I would like a smelting cup. I need two sets of precision tools.

Most people are shocked that he's in some sort of a cave but doesn't say anything yet.

"Only you Tones would make your kidnappers do something for you." Rhodey shakes his head.

[Yinsen and Tony start taking apart the weapons.] How many languages do you speak?

Yinsen: A lot. But apparently, not enough for this place. They speak Arabic, Urdu, Dari, Pashto, Mongolian, Farsi, Russian.

Tony Stark: Who are these people?

Yinsen: They are your loyal customers, sir. They call themselves the Ten Rings. [The men of the Ten Rings are shown watching Tony and Yinsen work on a TV.] You know, we might be more productive if you include me in the planning process.

Tony Stark: Uh-huh. [Tony pulls apart a missile.] Okay, we don't need this.

Yinsen: What is that?

Tony Stark: That's palladium, 0.15 grams. We need at least 1.6, so why don't you go break down the other 11?

Man #1: What's he doing? [speaking Arabic]

Man #2: Working. [speaking Arabic]

"Are they really that stupid?"

"Yeah, it made it really easy for me to escape" says Tony

[Tony and Yinsen working on something. Yinsen is pulling something out of the fire.]

Tony Stark: Careful. Careful, we only get one shot at this.

Yinsen: Relax. I have steady hands. Why do you think you're still alive?

"What does he mean by that?" asks Bruce.

"He took most of the shrapnel out of my body" explains Tony, smiling sadly.

Tony Stark: What do I call you?

Yinsen: My name is Yinsen.

Tony Stark: Yinsen. Nice to meet you.

Yinsen: Nice to meet you, too. [Tony puts together a device while Yinsen watches.] Whoa. That doesn't look like a Jericho missile.

Tony Stark: That's because it's a miniaturized arc reactor. I got a big one powering my factory at home. It should keep the shrapnel out of my heart.

"You made it in a cave?" asks Shuri, shocked that he was able to do it.

Yinsen: But what could it generate?

Tony Stark: If my math is right, and it always is, three gigajoules per second.

Yinsen: That could run your heart for 50 lifetimes.

Tony Stark: Yeah. Or something big for 15 minutes.

Tony Stark: [Looking at sheets of paper with Tony] This is our ticket out of here.
