The Avengers: Beginning the Recruitment
[In a construction building in Russia, Natasha Romanoff is being interrogated by thugs. They all speak in Russian]

Georgi Luchkov: This is not how I wanted the evening to go.

Natasha Romanoff: I know how you wanted this evening to go. Believe me, this is better.

Georgi Luchkov: I'd like to know why they sent you to carry out a carrier, a stained glass and other random items.

Natasha Romanoff: I thought General Soholob was in charge of the export business.

Georgi Luchkov: Soholob? Your reputation is quite a progression. The famous "Black Widow"... Nothing but a pretty face.

Natasha Romanoff: You really think I'm pretty? [Luchkov picks up a pair of pliers. One of the thugs forces her mouth wide open.]

Georgi Luchkov: We do not need the Lermontov to transfer the tanks. Tell him, well... [he switches to English] You may have to write it down. [Suddenly, one of the thugs' cellphone rings. Confused, he answers.]

Russian thug: Ya? [listens to the person on the other line] It's for you.

Georgi Luchkov: Who the hell is...

Phil Coulson: You're at 114 Solenski Plaza, 3rd floor. We have an F22 exactly 8 miles out. Put the woman on the phone or I will blow up the block before you can make the lobby. [Luchkov places the cell phone against Natasha's ear as she's tied to a chair with her hands tied behind her back] We need you to come in.

Natasha Romanoff: Are you kidding? I'm working!

Phil Coulson: This takes precedence.
Natasha Romanoff: I'm in the middle of an interrogation and this moron is giving me everything.

Georgi Luchkov: I don't give everything. [Natasha gives him a look]

Natasha Romanoff: Look, you can't pull me out of this right now.

Phil Coulson: Natasha, Barton's been compromised.

Natasha Romanoff: Let me put you on hold. [as Luchkov comes to take the phone off her she hits him with her leg and starts attacking the other thugs, she frees herself from the chair, knocks everyone out, picks up the phone as Coulson is still waiting on the line] Where's Barton now?

Phil Coulson: We don't know.

Natasha Romanoff: But he's alive.

Phil Coulson: We think so. I'll brief you on everything when you get back. But first, we need you to talk to the big guy.

Natasha Romanoff: Coulson, you know that Stark trusts me about as far as he can throw me.

Phil Coulson: No, I've got Stark. You get the big guy.

[In India after getting lured in by a little girl to a remote location help her sick father and sees that the little girl running away as soon as she's brought him to an isolated building]

Bruce Banner: Should have got paid up front, Banner. [Natasha comes up behind him]

Natasha Romanoff: You know, for a man who's supposed to be avoiding stress, you picked a hell of a place to settle.
Bruce Banner: Avoiding stress isn't the secret.

Natasha Romanoff: Then what is it? Yoga?

Bruce Banner: You brought me to the edge of the city, smart. I uh... assume the whole place is surrounded?

Natasha Romanoff: Just you and me.

Bruce Banner: And your actress buddy, is she a spy too? Do they start that young?

Natasha Romanoff: I did.

Bruce Banner: Who are you?

Natasha Romanoff: Natasha Romanoff.

Bruce Banner: Are you here to kill me, Miss Romanoff? Because that's not gonna work out for everyone.

Natasha Romanoff: No. No. Of course not. I'm here on behalf of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Bruce Banner: S.H.I.E.L.D. How did they find me?

Natasha Romanoff: We never lost you, doctor. We've kept our distance, even helped keep some other interested parties off your scent.

Bruce Banner: Why?
Natasha Romanoff: Nick Fury seems to trust you. But now I need you to come in.

Bruce Banner: What if I say no?

Natasha Romanoff: I'll persuade you.

Bruce Banner: And what if the...other guy says no?

Natasha Romanoff: You've been more than a year without an incident. I don't think you wanna break that streak.

Bruce Banner: I don't get every time what I want.

Natasha Romanoff: Doctor, we're facing a potential global catastrophe.

Bruce Banner: Well, those I actively try to avoid.

Natasha Romanoff: This is the Tesseract. [she shows him a photo of the Tesseract on her cell phone] It has the potential energy to wipe out the planet.

Bruce Banner: What does Fury want me to do? Swallow it?

Natasha Romanoff: 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 Banner: So Fury isn't after the monster?

Natasha Romanoff: Not that he's told me.

Bruce Banner: And he tells you everything?

Natasha Romanoff: Talk to Fury, he needs you on this.

Bruce Banner: He needs me in a cage?

Natasha Romanoff: No one's gonna put you in a... [suddenly Banner gets angry and snaps]

Bruce Banner: Stop lying to me! [Natasha quickly grab her gun and points it at Banner] 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] Natasha.

[she lowers her gun and speaks into her earpiece to the SHIELD agents who are surrounding the building outside]
Natasha Romanoff: Stand down. We're good here. [Banner looks at Natasha in amusement]

Bruce Banner: Just you and me?
