"I've got stuff I've got to do, Steve."
"Then we'll do it together. It's not the first time you and I have gone up against HYDRA."
"This isn't your fight, Steve."
"Of course it is! It's... pretty much the only fight I've ever known."
"This is different. This is... dirtier. Harder."
"Then you need someone there to help."
"I need someone to be there when I get back."
"Buck--"
"Steve. This is non-negotiable. You got work to do and I got work to do."
"What do you mean by that? I--"
"I told Stark that you needed the doctor, Steve. And no matter what you think, you and me playing old times isn't going to fix what's broken in there. That's not how it works."
"Bucky."
"No. I've got a hell of a lot on my plate, but at least I have the questionable benefit of knowing they had to fuck me up six ways to sunday before I'd do any of it. You've got something else. And you need to take care of yourself better."
