50 Best Natasha Romanoff Quotes

Natasha: Tony, you are being uncharacteristically non-hyperverbal.

Natasha: Tell me about the shooter.
Steve: He's fast. Strong. Had a metal arm.

Tony: [Clint is introducing the Avengers to his wife] This is an agent of some kind.
Clint: Gentlemen, this is Laura.
Laura: [smiles] I know all your names
[Clint and Laura's kids come into view]
Clint: Oh, Incoming. Hi sweetheart. Hey buddy!
[hugs kids]
Clint: How are you guys doin'? Look at your face! Oh my goodness!
Tony: These are... smaller agents.
Lila: Did you bring Auntie-Nat?
Natasha: Well why don't you hug her and find out!

Dr. Arnim Zola: HYDRA was founded on the belief that humanity could not be trusted with its own freedom. What we did not realize was that if you tried to take that freedom, they resist. The war taught us much. Humanity needed to surrender its freedom willingly. After the war, S.H.I.E.L.D. was founded, and I was recruited. The new HYDRA grew, a beautiful parasite inside S.H.I.E.L.D. For 70 years, HYDRA has been secretly feeding crises, reaping war. And when history did not cooperate, history was changed.
Natasha: That's impossible. S.H.I.E.L.D. would've stopped you.
Dr. Arnim Zola: Accidents will happen. HYDRA created a world so chaotic that humanity is finally ready to sacrifice its freedom to gain its security. Once the purification process is complete, HYDRA's New World Order will arise. We won, Captain. Your death amounts to the same as your life, a zero sum!

Natasha: Thor, report on the Hulk.
Thor: The gates of Hel are filled with the screams of his victims!
[Natasha glares at him while Bruce groans and puts his head in his hands]
Thor: But not the screams of the dead, of course. No, no... wounded screams... mainly whimpering, a great deal of complaining and tales of sprained deltoids and... gout.

Jasper: Is this little display meant to insinuate that you're gonna throw me off the roof? Because it's really not your style, Rogers.
Steve: You're right. It's not. It's hers.
[Natasha throws Sitwell off the roof]
Natasha: Oh, wait. What about that girl from accounting, Laura, Lisa...?
Steve: Lillian. Lip piercing, right?
Natasha: Yeah, she's cute.
Steve: Yeah, I'm not ready for that.

Natasha: I'm just finding it hard to believe he could stay off my radar.
Yelena: Well it's not smart to attack an Avenger if you want to stay hidden. I mean the clue is in the name. Dreykov kills you and one of the big ones comes to avenge you.
Natasha: Wait, what are the big ones?
Yelena: Well I doubt that the god from space has to take an ibuprofen after a fight.

Natasha: Where have you been?
James: Mexico. The Federales found a room full of bodies. Looks like a bunch of cartel guys - never even had a chance to get their guns out.
Natasha: It's probably a rival gang.
James: Except that it isn't. It's definitely Barton. What he's done here, what he's been doing, for the last few years - if you'd seen what he's left - I gotta tell you, there's a part of me that doesn't even want to find him.
Natasha: Will you find where he goes next?
James: Nat...
Natasha: Please?

[Captain America puts on a parachute to go follow after Thor, Loki and Iron Man]
Natasha: I'd sit this one out, Cap.
Steve: I don't see how I can.
Natasha: These guys come from legend. They're basically gods.
Steve: There's only one God, ma'am, and I'm pretty sure he doesn't dress like that.
[Captain America leaps out of the Quinjet]

Steve: [after Natasha takes the flash drive Steve hid in a vending machine] Where is it?
Natasha: Safe.
Steve: Do better!
Natasha: Where did you get it?
Steve: Why would I tell you?
Natasha: Fury gave it to you. Why?
Steve: What's on it?
Natasha: I don't know.
Steve: Stop lying!
Natasha: I only act like I know everything, Rogers.

Natasha: You should know I'm a better shot when I'm pissed off.

Alexei: Never family, huh? In my heart, I am simple man. And I think that for a couple deep undercover Russian agents I think we did pretty great as parents, huh?
Melina: Yes, we had our orders, and we played our roles to perfection.
Natasha: Who cares? That wasn't real.
Yelena: What?
Natasha: That wasn't real. Who cares?
Yelena: Don't say that. Please don't say that. It was real. It was real to me. You are my mother. You were my real mother. The closest thing I ever had to one. The best part of my life was fake. And none of you told me.

Yelena: Why do you always do that thing?
Natasha: What thing?
Yelena: That thing you do when you're fighting. The... like... the thing you do...
Yelena: [gets down to the floor to strike a pose and whips her head back and forth]
Yelena: When you whip your hair when you're fighting and you do like a fighting pose. It's a fighting pose. You're a total poser.
Natasha: I'm not a poser.
Yelena: Ha ha! I mean they are great poses but it does look like you think everyone's looking at you, like all the time.
Natasha: All that time that I spent posing, I was actually trying to do something good. To make up for all the pain and suffering that we caused. Trying to be more than just a trained killer.
Yelena: Well, then you were fooling yourself. Because pain and suffering is every day and we are both still a trained killer. Except I'm not the one who's on the cover of a magazine. I'm not the killer little girls call their hero.

Natasha: [watching the aliens come toward them] This is just like Budapest all over again.
Clint: You and I remember Budapest very differently.

Natasha: How many others are there?
Yelena: Enough.

Natasha: Did you do anything fun Saturday night?
Steve: Well, all the guys from my barbershop quartet are dead, so no, not really.
Natasha: You know, if you ask Kristen out, from Statistics, she'd probably say yes.
Steve: That's why I don't ask.
Natasha: Too shy, or too scared?
Steve: Too busy!
[Jumps out of the plane]
Strike: Was he wearing a parachute?
Brock: [Smiles] No. No, he wasn't.

Natasha: Kiss me.
Steve: What?
Natasha: Public displays of affection make people very uncomfortable.
Steve: Yes, they do.
[Natasha grabs and kisses Rogers, causing a passing Rumlow to look away uncomfortably]
Natasha: [uncomfortable herself] You still uncomfortable?
Steve: [even more uncomfortable] That's not exactly the word I would use.

Natasha: Doctor, we're facing a potential global catastrophe.
Bruce: Well, THOSE I actively try to avoid.
Natasha: This is the Tesseract.
[she shows him a photo of the Tesseract on her cell phone]
Natasha: It has the potential energy to wipe out the planet.
Bruce: What does Fury want me to do? Swallow it?
Natasha: Well, he wants you to find it. It's been taken. It omits a gamma signature that's too weak for us to trace. There's no one that knows gamma radiation like you do. If there was, that's where I'd be.
Bruce: So Fury isn't after the monster?
Natasha: Not that he's told me.
Bruce: And he tells you everything?
Natasha: Talk to Fury, he needs you on this.
Bruce: He needs me in a cage?
Natasha: No one's gonna put you in a...
Bruce: STOP LYING TO ME!
[cringing back, Natasha quickly grabs her gun and points it at Banner]
Bruce: I'm sorry, that was mean. I just wanted to see what you'd do. Why don't we do this the easy way, where you don't use that, and the other guy doesn't make a mess? Okay?
[Natasha, still wary, doesn't lower her gun]
Bruce: Natasha?
Natasha: [she lowers her gun and speaks into her earpiece to the SHIELD agents who are surrounding the building outside] Stand down. We're good here.
Bruce: [Banner looks at Natasha in amusement] Just you and me?

Natasha: I want to know what you've done to Agent Barton.
Loki: I would say I've expanded his mind.
Natasha: And once you've won, once you're king of the mountain, what happens to his mind?
Loki: Oh. Is this love, Agent Romanoff?
Natasha: Love is for children. I owe him a debt.
Loki: Tell me.
Natasha: Before I worked for SHIELD, I, uh... Well, I made a name for myself. I have a very specific skill set. I didn't care who I used it for, or on. I got on SHIELD's radar in a bad way. Agent Barton was sent to kill me. He made a different call.
Loki: And what will you do if I vow to spare him?
Natasha: Not let you out.
Loki: [smiles] No, but I like this. Your world in the balance, and you bargain for one man.
Natasha: Regimes fall every day. I tend not to weep over that, I'm Russian... or was.
Loki: And what are you now?
Natasha: It's really not that complicated. I've got red in my ledger, I'd like to wipe it out.
Loki: Can you? Can you wipe out that much red? Dreykov's daughter, Sao Paulo, the hospital fire?
[Natasha's calm demeanor starts to break]
Loki: Barton told me everything. Your ledger is dripping, it's GUSHING red, and you think saving a man no more virtuous than yourself will change anything? This is the basest sentimentality. This is a child at prayer... PATHETIC! You lie and kill in the service of liars and killers. You pretend to be separate, to have your own code. Something that makes up for the horrors. But they are a part of you, and they will never go away!... I won't touch Barton. Not until I make him kill you!
[Natasha's eyes start to bulge as her face turns fearful]
Loki: [snarling] Slowly, intimately, in every way he knows you fear! And then he'll wake just long enough to see his good work, and when he screams, I'll split his skull! This is MY bargain, you mewling quim!
[Natasha turns and takes several steps away]
Natasha: [starts to cry] You're a monster!
Loki: [laughing] Oh no, you brought the monster.
Natasha: [quickly dropping her facade] So, Banner... that's your play.
Loki: ...What?
Natasha: [on the intercom] Loki means to unleash the Hulk. Keep Banner in the lab, I'm on my way. Send Thor as well.
Natasha: [turning back to Loki] Thank you... for your cooperation.

Natasha: Before I was an Avenger, I made mistakes... and a lot of enemies.

Nick: You've been very busy. You made your girl your CEO, you're giving away all your stuff. You let your friend fly away with your suit. Now, if I know better...
Tony: [interrupts] You don't know better. I didn't give it to him. He took it.
Nick: Whoa, whoa, whoa. He took it? You're Iron Man and he just took it? The little brother walked in there, kicked your ass and took your suit? Is that possible?
Natasha: Well, according to Mr. Stark's database security guidelines, there are redundancies to prevent unauthorized usage.
Tony: What do you want from me?
Nick: What do we want from you? Uh-uh. What do you want from me? You have become a problem, a problem I have to deal with. Contrary to your belief, you are not the center of my universe. I have bigger problems in the southwest region to deal with. Hit him!
[Natalia injects Tony in his neck]
Tony: [groans] Oh God, are you gonna steal my kidney and sell it? Could you please not do anything awful for five seconds? What did she just do to me?
Nick: What did we just do *for* you? That's lithium dioxide. It's gonna take the edge off. We're trying to get you back to work.
Tony: Give me a couple boxes of that. I'll be right as rain.
Natasha: It's not a cure, it just abates the symptoms.
Nick: Doesn't look like it's gonna be an easy fix.

Melina: Tell me how did you keep your heart?
Natasha: Pain only makes us stronger. Didn't you tell us that? What you told me kept me alive.

Natasha: First rule of going on the run is: "Don't run. Walk."
Steve: [in a pair of loose shoes] If I run in these shoes they're going to fall off.

Natasha: The truth is a matter of circumstances; it's not all things to all people all the time. And neither am I.
Steve: That's a tough way to live.
Natasha: It's a good way not to die, though.
Steve: You know, it's kind of hard to trust someone when you don't know who that someone really is.
Natasha: Yeah. Who do you want me to be?
Steve: How about a friend?
Natasha: [chuckles] Well, there's a chance you might be in the wrong business, Rogers.

Natasha: Where did Captain America learn to steal a car?
Steve: Nazi Germany. And we're borrowing. Get your feet off the dash.

Clint: Tell my family I love them.
Natasha: You tell them yourself.

Natasha: I know who killed Fury. Most of the intelligence community doesn't believe he exists. The ones that do call him the Winter Soldier. He's credited for over two dozen assassinations in the last 50 years.
Steve: So he's a ghost story.
Natasha: Five years ago I was escorting a nuclear engineer out of Iran, somebody shot at my tires near Odessa. We lost control, went straight over a cliff, I pulled us out, but the Winter Soldier was there. I was covering my engineer, so he shot him straight *through* me.
[Shows him the bullet would on her stomach]
Natasha: A Soviet slug, no rifling. Bye-bye bikinis.
Steve: [sarcastic] Yeah, I bet you look terrible in them now.
Natasha: Going after him is a dead end. I know, I've tried. Like you said, he's a ghost story.
Steve: Well, let's find out what the ghost wants.

Natasha: Shall we play a game?
[Smiles and turns to Steve]
Natasha: It's from a movie that...
Steve: Yeah, I saw it.

Natasha: Put your seat belt on.
Yelena: You're such a mom.

[looking at portraits of the founders of S.H.I.E.L.D. - Howard Stark, Chester Phillips, and Peggy Carter]
Natasha: That's Stark's father. Who's the girl?
[Steve looks at Agent Carter's portrait, and moves off quietly]

Steve: You know, I saw a pod of whales when I was coming in, over the bridge.
Natasha: In the Hudson?
Steve: Fewer ships, cleaner water...
Natasha: You know, if you're about to tell me to look on the bright side - I'm about to hit you in the head with a peanut butter sandwich.
Steve: Sorry, force of habit.

Natasha: Here's what's going to happen.
Melina: Natasha, don't slouch!
Natasha: I'm not slouching!
Melina: You're going to get a back hunch.
Alexei: Listen to your mother.
Natasha: Oh my God, this...
Alexei: Up, up!
Natasha: All right, enough! All of you!
Yelena: I didn't say anything, that's not fair!

Brock: The target is a mobile satellite launch platform: The Lemurian Star. It was sending up their last payload when pirates took them, ninety-three minutes ago.
Steve: Any demands?
Brock: A billion and a half.
Steve: Why so steep?
Brock: Because it's S.H.I.E.L.D.'s.
Steve: [sighs] So it's not off course; it's trespassing.
Natasha: I'm sure they have a good reason.
Steve: You know, I'm getting a little tired of being Fury's janitor.

Natasha: Alright, I have a question for you, which you do not have to answer. I feel like if you don't answer it, though, you're kind of answering it, you know?
Steve: What?
Natasha: Was that your first kiss since 1945?
Steve: That bad, huh?
Natasha: I didn't say that.
Steve: Well, it kind of sounds like that's what you're saying.
Natasha: No, I didn't. I just wondered how much practice you had.
Steve: I don't need practice.
Natasha: Everybody needs practice.
Steve: It was not my first kiss since 1945. I'm 95; I'm not dead.

Secretary: Yeah?
Natasha: Don't do this.
Secretary: Do what?
Natasha: Come after me. I mean, you're embarrassing yourself. It looks desperate.
Secretary: Thought maybe you'd be calling me to cut a deal. 'Cause from my vantage point, it's the federal fugitive who's desperate.
Natasha: From my vantage point, you look like you could use some bed rest. What is this, your second triple bypass?
Secretary: I wouldn't worry about me. We got Barton, we got Wilson and that other guy, the incredible shrinking convict. Rogers is on the run. You got no friends. Where you gonna go?
Natasha: I've lived a lot of lives before I met you, Ross. You shouldn't have gone to all this trouble. I'm done.
Secretary: Romanoff?

[from trailer]
Nick: There was an idea...
Tony: To bring together, a group of remarkable people...
Vision: To see if we could become something more...
Thor: So when they needed us, we could fight the battles...
Natasha: That they never could.

Natasha: I've lived a lot of lives... But I'm done running from my past.

Steve: I'm sorry, Nat. I can't sign it.
Natasha: I know.
Steve: Then why did you come here?
Natasha: Because I didn't want you to be alone.

Antonia: [about her father, Dreykov] Is he gone?
Natasha: He's gone

Steve: Thor, what's his play?
Thor: He has an army, called the Chitauri. They're not of Asgard or any world known. He means to lead them against your people. They will win him the Earth. In return, I suspect, for the Tesseract.
Steve: An army. From outer space.
Bruce: So he's building another portal. That's what he needs Erik Selvig for.
Thor: Selvig?
Bruce: He's an astrophysicist.
Thor: He's a friend.
Natasha: Loki has them under some kind of spell. Along with one of ours.
Steve: I wanna know why Loki let us take him. He's not leading an army from here.
Bruce: I don't think we should be focusing on Loki. That guy's brain is a bag full of cats. You can smell crazy on him.
Thor: Have a care how you speak! Loki is beyond reason, but he is of Asgard and he is my brother!
Natasha: He killed eighty people in two days.
Thor: He's adopted.

Natasha: Hey, fellas. Either one of you know where the Smithsonian is? I'm here to pick up a fossil.
Steve: That's hilarious.

Natasha: You can't just steal a guy's car.
Yelena: So you want me to chase him down and un-steal it?

Crossbones: He's here.
- Rumlow has a biological weapon.
Natasha: [On radio] I'm on it.

Natasha: You've always been a really good friend to me.
Mason: That's what every man wants to hear.

Natasha: You good?
Melina: ...I'm clearly injured.

Natasha: If we don't get that stone, billions of people stay dead.
Clint: Then I guess we both know who it's got to be.
Natasha: I guess we do.
Clint: I'm starting to think we mean different people here, Natasha.
Natasha: For the last five years I've been trying to do one thing, get to right here. That's all it's been about. Bringing everybody back.
Clint: Oh, don't you get all decent on me now.
Natasha: What, you think I want to do it? I'm trying to save *your* life, you idiot.
Clint: Yeah, well, I don't want you to, how's that? Natasha, you know what I've done. You know what I've become.
Natasha: Well, I don't judge people on their worst mistakes.
Clint: Maybe you should.
Natasha: You didn't.
Clint: You're a pain in my ass, you know that?
[they lean their heads together affectionately]
Clint: Okay. You win.
Clint: [he suddenly throws her down] Tell my family I love them.
Natasha: [she pushes him off and tasers him] Tell them yourself.

Natasha: What about the nurse that lives across the hall from you? She seems kind of nice.
Steve: Secure the engine room, then find me a date.
Natasha: [jumping off deck over the railings] I'm multitasking.

Natasha: [to Melina] I wish I could believe that you cared. But you're not even the first mother that abandoned me.

[Natalie Rushman walks in dressed as the Black Widow]
Tony: Huh! You're... fired.
Natasha: That's not up to you.

Nick: Outwit the platinum bastard.
Natasha: Steve doesn't like that kind of talk.
Steve: You know what Romanoff...
