Bucky was a friend, closer to you than he was to me, but he was a friend. I know what the both of you have gone through.
But I told you I'd protect you. I told you that if the need arose, I'd save you.
The man I killed back in April wasn't Bucky. It was the Winter Soldier. I knew him before everything, back in Russia. The look in his eyes was the same then as it was in April. I'm hoping that if and when he comes back that he has newer memories like we do. Maybe we can settle things.
I'm not asking for your forgiveness, and you know I'm not one to apologize. But I did it to protect you.
Why do you always fall back onto semantics? I asked you not to do one thing, and you did it anyway. I'm glad you're not asking for forgiveness, because you're not going to get it.
Winter Soldier or not, he was my best friend. I would've made him remember me. Would've gotten through to him.
Because the semantics don't lie. I know the programming he went through, Steve. I used to have that kind of programming. You're not the person you once were under it. You are the mission and that's all, no semblance of the person you were or the friends you had.
It took me years to break that programming. If he continued to stay that way, he would have tried to kill you again.
It's better for him to be gone than for him to be here and suffer like we are.
There's only so much I can do without a massive SHIELD database to do background checks on everyone. Needless to say I'm sure you can see I don't have internet.
It's as small as we can get it right now without me personally following everyone for a week.

I'm tired of losing him, Natasha.

You already lost him, Steve. The only thing we can hope for is when he does come back, he at least remembers you.
yes the topic change is intentional, this jerk
The suspect list isn't getting small quickly enough.
wow rude.
