Dialogue[]
Carina: Enough! I’m tired of this. I need to see through the Battlerealm’s eyes!
Doctor Strange: Then you are ready? Carina: Born ready, Doc!
Iron Man: Who are you talking to?
The Collector: Carina… I won’t try to stop you, but be careful.
- Transmission #1 - Upon starting the Quest
Carina: ... Carina: Oh no… The Collector: What? What happened? Carina: I stopped the Black ISO, it shouldn’t be flowing anymore… Doctor Strange: Excellent work! Carina: But I saw… I saw something else. Carina: We have to hurry!
- Transmission #2
Captain Marvel: You alright, Carina? You look a little pale. Carina: I don’t have enough time to explain why I don’t have time to explain. Just follow me!
Captain America (Infinity War): Don’t make a move. Carina: Captain! Look, I get how you feel about me, but right now I don’t have the time to rap about it. Carina: Or fight about it. Captain America (Infinity War): That’s unfortunate.
- Transmission #3
Captain America (Infinity War): For what it’s worth, I don’t like this either. Captain America (Infinity War): But your aggression and refusal to stand down have left me at an impasse.
Captain America: There’s always another way, Steve. Captain America (Infinity War): That’s a nice thought Rogers, but you and I both know we have to be realistic eventually. Carina: I’m sorry, Captain. There’s more at stake here than just us, or anyone else in this place. Captain America (Infinity War): It’s too late to appeal with the big picture. Stand down, or put ‘em up.
