God, this kills me, every time. And I keep meaning to say, but I'm kind of love with the cheeky promise in this:

Man, and your Rhodey voice kind of kills me, all the things he puts up with, all things he doesn't ask (and Jim doesn't even ask how old Tony was) because there's only so many ways you can feel sorry for the guy before you give him what he wants, which Rhodey knows, knows, knows isn't what Tony needs and man, man.
