Okay. Thanks. [That... does actually make Tony feel better. It's one thing for Gene to be sorry that people got hurt because of what he did, and another for him to admit that people got hurt because what he did was wrong. The second kind of apology carries a lot more weight.

Tony sits down on a low wall and opens the armor's faceplate.] You could have just asked for our help, you know, [he says, sounding frustrated.] If you'd been up-front with us from the start, we probably would have helped you. If you hadn't lied and manipulated us, if you hadn't tried to use your power to rule the planet... things might have turned out okay. [We could have done amazing things together, if you hadn't screwed it all up.]
