Actually, I was better off with you not knowing. I haven't lied to you, about how I knew you. We met in your tower, and I stole from Nick Fury, and you bade me drink with you.

[His words speed up slightly towards the end, as if he's afraid he'll lose his nerve and stop.]
That's why I was shocked to find you here an inmate. Because I came to do harm to your world, and you stood with them, and stopped me.
action!
