[Difficult? That's more delicate than Tony is used to. Almost like something his dad would say in public.]
I'm not trying to grind your gears, kid. [Then again, that was more informative that almost anything else Speed had said, and it can't have been easy to say most of it...Tony wasn't about to throw out a useful tool.] But a lot of bad people have been under the impression that I can help them, too. You've made a big sacrifice for these guys, I can see that, but I haven't met them, I don't get why this is so important to you right now. Don't get it twisted: I'm not saying no one should help them, I'm not saying doing what they ask just to get home is unreasonable, I'm just trying to get to the foundations here before the building comes down.
