4. "You're Taking All The Stupid With You"

Once Thanos is defeated, Cap prepares to travel back to the past in order to return the Infinity Stones and Mjolnir, and Cap tells Bucky (Sebastian Stan), "Don't do anything stupid until I get back", to which Buck retorts, "How can I? You're taking all the stupid with you."

It's a poignant reversal of their exchange from the original Captain America, where Skinny Steve fires the same retort back at Bucky.

Given that the film oddly doesn't give Cap and Bucky a grand emotional moment once Cap returns as an old man, this ultimately has to serve as their affecting send-off.
