Zed: You're late. Sit down. [Edwards takes the remaining chair. The elevator doors slide shut. Zed continues addressing the Recruits] Zed: My name is Zed. You're all here because you're the best of the best. Marines, Navy SEALS, Army Rangers... NYPD. And we're looking for one of you. Just one. What will follow is a series of simple tests designed to quantify motor skills, hand-eye coordination, concentration, stamina. Zed: [notices Edwards has his hand raised] I see we have a question. Jay: Uh yeah. I'm... I'm sorry, maybe you already answered this but... , but -- why, exactly, are we here? [Silence. Then one of the young recruits eagerly raises his hand. Zed calls on him] Zed: Son? 1st Lt. Jake Jensen: [loud and formal] 2nd Lieutenant Jensen. West Point graduate with honours. We're here because you want the best of the best of the best, sir! Jay: [Edwards tries to stifle a laugh, but can't] Zed: What's so funny, Edwards? Jay: Your boy, Captain America, here. "The best of the best of the best, sir!" "With honours." He's just really excited, and he has no clue why we're here. That's very funny to me. Y'all ain't laughing, though. Zed: Okay, let's get going.
