Trouble Man




Sam
I've seen that book. 
It was Steve's when 
he came out of The Ice. 
I told him about Trouble Man. 
He wrote it in that book. 
Did you hear it? 
What'd you think?

Bucky
I like 40's music, so...

Sam
You didn't like it?!

Bucky
I liked it.

Helmut Zemo
It is A Masterpiece, James. 
Complete. Comprehensive
It captures the 
African-American experience.

Sam: 
[nonplussed, having 
to defend Zemo
He's outta linebut 
he's right. It's great
Everybody loves 
Marvin Gaye.

Bucky: 
I like Marvin Gaye.

Sam: 
Steve adored Marvin Gaye.

Zemo: 
You must have really looked up to Steve. But I realised something when I met him. 
The danger with people like him,
 America's Super Soldiers
is that we put them on pedestals.

Sam
Watch your step, Zemo.

Zemo
They become symbols. Icons
And then we start to 
forget about their flaws
From there, cities fly, 
innocent people die, 
movements are formed, 
wars are fought. 
[to Bucky] You remember that, 
right? As a young soldier sent 
to Germany to stop a mad icon. 
Do we want to live in a world full 
of people like The Red Skull?
