Kate Bishop: “Lady Arrow”?

Clint Barton: None of those.

Kate Bishop: Okay, fine.

Clint Barton: You know what, actually, I have an idea.

Kate Bishop: Wow. Jack’s out of jail already. Nothing phases that guy.

Clint Barton: So Jack wielding a sword, just out of jail for allegedly murdering somebody with one.

Kate Bishop: Maybe it’s his way of proving that he really is innocent?

Clint Barton: It’s a weird flex, but sure.

Kate Bishop: Look, you made mistakes, but those are behind you.

Clint Barton: No, it’s tied to me. Tied to my family. That’s why I’m here. And I can’t go home till I fix it.

Kate Bishop: You lost your family in the Blip?

Clint Barton: Yeah. Like half the world.

Kate Bishop: God, that must have been devastating.

Clint Barton: Yeah, there are no words.

Kate Bishop: Is that where you met the Ronin? It’s you, isn’t it?

Clint Barton: Everybody dealt with the Blip in their own way. I continued doing what I was trained to do.

Kate Bishop: Protect people.

Clint Barton: Hurting people. Investigating first, but in the end, my job has always been to hurt people.

Kate Bishop: You were a hero.

Clint Barton: I was a weapon. I was aimed by the right people at the right targets.

Clint Barton: I’m sorry, Kate. I’m not a role model to anyone. Never have been.

Kate Bishop: What? Yes, you are. You are. You… You came here. You left your family at Christmas because you thought some stranger was gonna get hurt. You stuck around even though I screwed up.

Kate Bishop: I’ve been thinking about your branding issue. You need a more recognizable costume.

Clint Barton: Uh, you realize that my job for the last 20 years was to be not recognizable, right?

Kate Bishop: Well, you’ve officially failed at that. Picture this… in purple.

Clint Barton: Oh, wow. What’s that on his head?

Kate Bishop: It’s your head. Uh, wings. Like a hawk. That’s an “H” that’s on your forehead. That’s… for “Hawkeye.”

Clint Barton: Well, not happening.

Kate Bishop: When I put that suit on, I thought, “This is it. This is the moment I become who I’m supposed to be.”

Clint Barton: I remember the day I thought the same thing. You know, it’s, uh… It comes with a price.

Kate Bishop: What does?

Clint Barton: This life you wanna live. To really help people. I mean, try to help people, anyway. Comes with a lot of sacrifices. And some things you’ll lose… forever.

Clint Barton: Ha ha ha ha. Block. Delete.
