You don't make mistakes.

[acceptabilities]

. . .

I make plenty of mistakes. I'm not infallible.

[solvabilities]

Steve . . .

[acceptabilities]

What?

[solvabilities]

What happened wasn't your mistake.

[acceptabilities]

No? Maybe not. But it wasn't yours either.

[solvabilities]

Steve, I quit the team.

[acceptabilities]

You couldn't trust anyone. And you had to do something. That doesn't mean it was a mistake.

[solvabilities]

You know it was.

[acceptabilities]

You acted to the best of your judgement at the time. Don't blame yourself for that.

[solvabilities]

I acted with suspicion and paranoia. I don't know why you think otherwise. Didn't you see the tapes?

[acceptabilities]

I saw. Tony, you were backed into a corner.

[solvabilities]

I backed myself into a corner.

[acceptabilities]

Even if you did, I'm not blaming you for it.

[solvabilities]

. . . I know.

[acceptabilities]

And what about now? You're afraid there are still Skrulls around.

[solvabilities]

That's why I'm mass producing the detectors.

[acceptabilities]

Then who do you trust?

[solvabilities]

-- What? What kind of question is that?

[acceptabilities]

You still don't trust the Avengers, do you?

[solvabilities]

That's absurd!

[acceptabilities]

Then why are you in such a hurry to the point where you don't eat for days while working?

[solvabilities]

I'm a busy guy!

[acceptabilities]

Not to this point.

[solvabilities]

. . . So what?
