"One day, Corporal Rumlow, we'll sit down and have the conversation. I promise. You'll tell me your secrets and I'll tell you mine."

"Not the fact that your bones suddenly pop out of your skin kind of secrets, either. The good stuff. And when we get that far, I'll tell you a lot of things that may or may not blow your mind."
