Justin went to the armor as he took the head off as it was a robot head.

Justin: um... Ivan... what's this? Jack. <hands the head to Jack> is that a helmet?

Jack: <grabs the head>

Justin: it doesn't look like a helmet to me. How... how are you supposed to get a head in there? Jack, could you put your head in there?

Jack: no.

Justin: try to put your head in there. Go ahead. Try to put your head in there. See, Ivan? He can't put his head in there. That's... that's not a helmet. That's a head. I need to put a guy in there. I need to fit a person in that suit. You understand?

Vanko: drone better.

Justin; what? Drone better? Why is drone better? Why is drone better?

Vanko: people make problem. Trust me. Drone better.

Justin: Ivan, you know, I like you. I got you the bird. You said, "No problem." That's what you said to me. You said, "No problem." Now I need suits. The government wants suits. Like IronMan. You understand? That's what the people want. That's what gonna make them happy.

Vanko: hey, man. Don't get too attached to things. Learn to let go. <grabs the drone head back>

Justin; these drones better steal the show, Ivan. You understand? Better rock my world, Ivan.

Jack: yes, sir?

Justin; go and place the cost for Wade Stark's death. $40 million.

Jack; but, sir-

General: good. Get Hammer down here to weaponize it.

Rhodey: sir?
