"The price of freedom is high." Cap's Speech - Captain America: The Winter Soldier
In Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Steve Rogers discovers that HYDRA, a fascist group, has taken over the U.S. world security organization SHIELD and is preparing to kill thousands of people with SHIELD’s own Helicarriers. Unable to get to the Helicarriers in time, Cap reaches out to those who can, broadcasting a speech that urges SHIELD agents to stand up against their corrupt orders.
“I know I’m asking a lot,” Rogers admits. “The price of freedom is high. It always has been. It’s a price I’m willing to pay. And if I’m the only one, then so be it. But I’m willing to bet I’m not.” With these words, Cap reaffirms his commitment to liberty as well as his faith in the goodness of others.
