Ann Russo: Zemo's Wife
Quotes
-
[Zemo sits on a rock, listening to his wife's last recorded message on his cellphone]
Voice of Zemo's Wife : You should have seen his little face. Just try, okay? I'm going to bed. I love you.
[T'Challa sneaks up behind Zemo. He places his helmet on the ground]
T'Challa : I almost killed the wrong man.
Zemo : Hardly an innocent one.
[Zemo deletes the message]
T'Challa : Is this all you wanted? To see them rip each other apart?
Zemo : [quietly] My father lived outside the city. I thought we would be safe there. My son was excited. He could see the Iron Man from the car window. I told my wife "Don't worry. They're fighting in the city. We're miles from harm". And the dust cleared... and the screaming stopped... it took me two days until I found their bodies. My father... still holding my wife and son in his arms... and the Avengers?
[Zemo shakes his head]
Zemo : They went home.
[Zemo smiles bitterly]
Zemo : I knew I couldn't kill them. More powerful men than me have tried. But if I could get them to kill each other...
[a flashback: Captain America fights Iron Man]
Zemo : I'm sorry about your father. He seemed a good man, with a dutiful son.
T'Challa : Vengeance has consumed you. It's consuming them. I'm done letting it consume me.
[T'Challa retracts his claws]
T'Challa : Justice will come soon enough.
Zemo : [spitefully] Tell that to the dead.
[Zemo places the gun under his chin and pulls the trigger. T'Challa grabs him and moves the gun away. The bullet misses]
T'Challa : The living are not done with you yet.
