[At the SSR compound.]

Me: [referring to the amount of blood samples taken from him] Think you got enough?

Peggy Carter: Any hope of reproducing a program is locked in your genetic code. But without Dr. Erskine, it could take years.

Me: He deserved more than this.

Peggy Carter: If it could only work once, he'd be proud it was you.

[SSR tech lab with the Hydra submarine]

Senator Brandt: Colonel Phillips, my committee is demanding answers.

Col. Chester Phillips: Great. Why don't we start with how a German spy got a ride to my secret installation in your car? [to Stark who is working on the submarine] What have we got here?

Howard Stark: Speaking modestly, I'm the best mechanical engineer in this country. But I don't know what's inside this thing or how it works. We're not even close to this technology.

Senator Brandt: Then who is?

Col. Chester Phillips: HYDRA. I'm sure you've been reading our briefings.

Senator Brandt: I'm on a number of committees, Colonel.

Peggy Carter: HYDRA is the Nazi deep science division. It's led by Johann Schmidt. But he has much bigger ambitions.

Col. Chester Phillips: HYDRA's practically a cult. They worship Schmidt, they think he's invincible.

Senator Brandt: So what are you gonna do about it?

Col. Chester Phillips: Spoke to the president this morning. As of today the SSR is being retasked.

Peggy Carter: Colonel?

Col. Chester Phillips: We are taking the fight to HYDRA. Pack your bags Agent Carter. You too, Stark. You're flying to London tonight.

Me: Sir, if you're going after Schmidt, I want in.

Col. Chester Phillips: You're an experiment. You're going to Alamogordo.

Steve Rogers: The serum worked.

Col. Chester Phillips: I asked for an army and all I got was you. You are not enough.

Senator Brandt: [to me] With all due respect to the Colonel, I think we may be missing the point. I've seen you in action, Johnathon.. More importantly, the country's seen it. [to his aide] Paper.[the aide shows them the news paper ('The New York Examiner' Vol. XCVII No. 33.634, Wednesday, June 23, 1943), headlines: "Nazis in New York - mystery man saves child"] The enlistment lines have been around the block since your picture hit the newsstands. You don't take a soldier, a symbol like that, and hide him in a lab. Son, do you want to serve your country on the most important battlefield of the war?

Me: Sir, that's all I want.

Senator Brandt: Then, congratulations. You just got promoted. I think I called you '' Captain Johnathon Rice"

Me: I like it.. sir!

Me: [ backstage as I s getting dressed in super-hero costume] I don't know if I can do this.

Brandt's Aide: Nothing to it. Sell off a few bonds, bonds buy bullets, bullets kills Nazi's. Bing bang boom. You're an American hero.

Me: It's just not how I pictured getting there.

Brandt's Aide: The senator's got a lot of pull up on the hill. You play ball with us, you'll be leading your own platoon in no time. Take the shield.[as I'm puts on his head mask he pushes me onto the stage]

[ Star Spangled Man With A Plan song]

USO Singer: Who's strong and brave, here to save the American way?

Me: [As women start to sing and dance in the background I've reads:] Not all of us can storm a beach or drive a tank. But there's still a way all of us can fight.

USO Singer: Who vows to fight like a man, for what's right, night and day?

Me: Series E Defence Bonds. Each one you buy is a bullet in the barrel of your best guy's gun.

USO Singer: Who will campaign door-to-door for America? Carry the flag shore to shore for America? From Hoboken to Spokane, the star-spangeld man with a plan.

[ me leads a group of men dressed as soldiers in front of a moving image.]

Director: Cut. Guys, don't look ath the camera.

[back to a scene where he's on tour.]

USO Singer: We can't ignore there's a threat and a war we must win.

Me: Each one you buy is a bullet in the barrel of your best guy's gun.

USO Singer: Who'll hang a noose on the goose-stepping goons from Berlin? Who will redeem, heed the call for America? Who'll rise or fall, give his all for America? Who's here to prove that we can? The star-spangled man with a plan.

Me: We all know this is about trying to win the war. We can't do that without bullets and bandages, tanks and tents. That's where you come in. Every bond you buy will help protect someone you love. [A men dressed as hitler sneaks up on him on the stage.]

Kids in USO Audience: Turn around! He's right behind you!

Me: Keep our boys armed and ready, and the Germans will think twice about trying to get the drop on us. [The man attacs him and gets fake-punched.]

USO Singer: Stalwart and steady and true, forcefull and ready to defend, the red, white, and blue. Who'll give the Axis the sack and is smart as a fox? Far as an eagle will soar. Who's making Adolf afraid to step out of his box? He knows what we're fighting for. Who waked the giant that napped in America? We know it's no one but Captain Johnathon Rice. Who'll finish what they began? Who'll kick the Krauts to Japan? The star-spangled man with a aplan! [Scenes show how Captain Johnathon Rice goes on tour around America, appears in comics and films, how he's approached by multiple fans, and generally becomes more liked and famous.]
