Abraham Erskine: The serum amplifies everything that is inside, so good becomes great. Bad becomes worse. This is why you were chosen. Because a strong man who has known power all his life may lose respect for that power, but a weak man knows the value of strength. And knows compassion.

Steve Rogers: Thanks. I think.

Abraham Erskine: Whatever happens tomorrow, you must promise me one thing. That you will stay who you are. Not a perfect soldier, but a good man.

Chester Phillips: You don't win wars with niceness, Doctor. You win wars with guts. (throws grenade at the new guys) Grenade!

(Steve lays down at the grenade while everyone else runs...)

Steve Rogers: Get away! Get back!

Some officer: It was a dummy grenade. All clear. Back in formation.

Steve Rogers: Is this a test?

Chester Phillips: He's still skinny.

Abraham Erskine: Do you want to kill Na*zis?

Steve Rogers: Is this a test?

Steve Rogers: I don't want to kill anyone. I don't like bullies. I don't care where they're from.

Abraham Erskine: Well, there are already so many big men fighting this war. Maybe what we need now is a little guy.
