A good friend? [ He grins at her, though there's not warmth behind it. ] I guess that depends on which biography you read. But yeah, I might have heard your name a time or a million growing up.

Well, if you need money, I can help you with that. Least I can do for Captain America. My lawyers can probably even turn it into a tax break, but if you're looking for a friend, well, I'm not anything like him.
