Watson is working with Solomons. He already thinks he knows all about us based on one image, so not taking that into account is just stupid.
[He bristles even more because he sees Steve move forward. It's not in a friendly way.]
Just like we think we know each other. You [And that is to Steve.] think you know my father. Which, by the way, is not so easy to swallow. My point is that we don't know anything. We don't know how we got here. And we're all keeping secrets. Things that matter to us. Some of those things can be used against us, and it would be stupid to assume that no one here is desperate enough to try it.
You already think this is turning into a manhunt. Why is that? When has talking to each other ever immediately involved action? Clint, you want to be on the team? Why don't you trust your teammates instead of taking the word of a guy you just met because you like his smile. Like Natasha said, I don't think we can trust him.
[He does calm down though.]
I don't trust Solomons not to take action if he decides we're inconvenient, and I don't trust Watson not to deliver the wrong intel like he just did. Especially if he doesn't trust us either. Forget the rest. We're not planning on doing anything to anyone else here. I shouldn't need to say that.
That fact that I do is what worries me. Because if the rumor mill starts and you don't believe your team? Then it's going to go bad. It doesn't matter if what is said is true or not. If any of you think you can't trust the people in this room, I want to know now.
