So... uh... I'm not as good at speeches as my partner is. They just kinda seep out of his pores smelling like American freedom right off the damn bat. It's pretty impressive actually.

[ Okay, already he's losing his train of thought. bear with him, folks. ]

But I feel like I have to say something to the imPorts worried and ready to fight. I am too, and I have. I've been north and I've fought with and against Russia. And let me tell ya, it's a lot easier when you are with them.

Look, they fight like they got nothing to lose. And that's hard to squash with an army, let alone all by yourselves. Seriously, there's a reason Napoleon and ol' Uncle Adolph got a few steps in Mother Russia and said "To hell with this!" Honest. They definitely said that...

So, I mean, I know some... or... a lot aren't too trusting of the government, but they have the resources to keep you safer than on your own.

And I can see the eyes rolling! [ He's pointing at you asshole right now! HE SEES YOU! ] but Russian winter's nothing to get cocky about. So please consider letting the military foot the bill to keep ya warm and fed. Don't let pride get you killed.

Our brothers and sisters don't want to return home—and they will!—to fallen vigilantes. They wanna come home to the imPorts' united forces kicking Russia's Commie butt back to Santa's workshop. Yeah! That far!

I won't convince some of you, but there's plenty of you civilians with new powers and new egos and axes to grind and no experience. Use that anger smartly, please. Help the military in any way you can!

[ Then he kinda goes silent. ]

Uhmm, okay, thank you? Yeah...

[ Oookay, he's gonna turn this off now. ]

You didn't see my eyes rolling you star spangled bastard.

You guessed.

I saw it in my mind's eye clearly like you were right in front of me. It's the power of Freedom!!

I'm not asking the military for anything.

I'll ask RISE. But not the military.

Then just stay home. You'll freeze to death wandering around!

Fuck. That.

Just cause I don't side with your damn military doesn't mean I don't have my own plan.

Really? What's your plan, experienced war soldier?

Ohh, that's right! You've never even been out of your own country, have you?

[ Bucky isn't impressed by your grandstanding; it's not cute this time. ]

Where the HELL do you think I've BEEN the past six months?!

[Because let him tell you, getting by in America when all you know is Japanese and outdated tech is a lot harder than it looks, Bucky. Especially when there's POMPOUS AMERICANS LIKE YOU RUBBING IT IN HIS FACE.

He is right on one thing, though. He's no soldier, and he'll freely admit that.]

I'm not here to fight in their war. I'm here to get my friends back. I'm not going to the government that took me from my damn home to do that, either.

I'm getting imPort help. Because I sure as hell never trusted America.

I think you've been in a nice comfortable house in America with support. Not in a war-torn subzero climate.

[ He's not rubbing it in your face! He's trying to show you how stupid you are being! ]

Then get imPort help funded by the government! They're the ones that'll have the resources to rescue 'em. You have no training in search and rescue! You could get people killed!

Barnes. If the government had a handle on ANY of this, they wouldn't have been captured in the first place!

[He doesn't want to submit his resume to him.]

I SAID I'm asking RISE. That asshole...Edgeworth says they work along with the government.

Right, so only work with the government on paper. Nice principles there, Nip. [ He is so over your shiiiit. ] If you freeze, I sure ain't cryin' over you.

[ Yes he will. He will totes cry and then avenge you. ]
