本片段劇情：二戰期間，許多美國青年紛紛報名參軍。一位名叫斯蒂芬·羅杰斯的年青人雖然有志投身軍隊，可惜卻因身體過份孱弱而被拒絕入伍。一個和軍隊合作進行實驗的科學家偶然聽到了斯蒂芬和剛入伍的朋友巴恩斯的對話，決定破格給他一次機會……

片段對白：

Officer: Kaminsky, Henry.

Steven: Boy, a lot of guys getting killed over there.

Officer: Rogers, Steven.

Man: It kind of makes you think twice about enlisting, huh?

Steven: Nope.

Officer: Rogers. What did your father die of?

Steven: Mustard gas. He was in the 107th Infantry. I was hoping I could be assigned...

Officer: Your mother?

Steven: She was a nurse in a TB ward. Got hit. Couldn’t shake it.

Officer: Sorry, son.

Steven: Look, just give me a chance.

Officer: You’d be ineligible on your asthma alone.

Steven: Is there anything you can do?

Officer: I’m doing it. I’m saving your life.

***************************

Pre-movie trailer: War continues to ravage Europe. But help is on the way. Every able-bodied young man is lining up to serve his country. Even little Timmy is doing his part, collecting scrap metal. Nice work, Timmy!

Man: Who cares? Play the movie already!

Steven: Hey, you wanna show some respect?

Pre-movie trailer: Meanwhile, overseas, our brave boys are showing the Axis powers that the price of freedom is never too high.

Man: Let’s go! Get on with it! Hey, just start the cartoon!

Steven: Hey, you wanna shut up?

Pre-movie trailer: Together with Allied forces, we’ll face any threat, no matter the size.

Man: You just don’t know when to give up, do you?

Steven: I can do this all day.

Barnes: Hey! Pick on someone your own size. Sometimes I think you like getting punched.

Steven: I had him on the ropes.

Barnes: How many times is this? You’re from Paramus now? You know it’s illegal to lie on the enlistment form. And seriously, Jersey?

Steven: You get your orders?

Barnes: The 107th. Sergeant James Barnes, shipping out for England first thing tomorrow.

Steven: I should be going.

Barnes: Come on, man. My last night! I got to get you cleaned up.

Steven: Why? Where are we going?

Barnes: The future. I don’t see what the problem is. You’re about to be the last eligible man in New York. You know there’s three and a half million women here?

Steven: Well, I’d settle for just one.

Barnes: Good thing I took care of that.

Girl: Hey, Bucky!

Steven: What’d you tell her about me?

Barnes: Only the good stuff.

Broadcaster: Welcome to the Modern Marvels Pavilion and the World of Tomorrow. A greater world. A better world.

Girl: Oh, my God! It’s starting!

Hostess: Ladies and gentlemen, Mr Howard Stark!

Audience: I love you, Howard!

Stark: Ladies and gentlemen, what if I told you that in just a few short years, your automobile won’t even have to touch the ground at all? Yes. Thanks, Mandy. With Stark Gravitic Reversion Technology you’ll be able to do just that.

Barnes: Holy cow.

Stark: I did say a few years, didn’t I?

Barnes: Hey, Steve, what do you say we treat these girls...

Girl: Come on, soldier.

Barnes: Come on. You’re kind of missing the point of a double date. We’re taking the girls dancing.

Steven: You go ahead. I’ll catch up with you.

Barnes: You’re really going to do this again?

Steven: Well, it’s a fair. I’m gonna try my luck.

Barnes: As who, Steve from Ohio? They’ll catch you. Or worse, they’ll actually take you.

Steven: Look, I know you don’t think I can do this.

Barnes: This isn’t a back alley, Steve. It’s war.

Steven: I know it’s a war.

Barnes: Why are you so keen to fight? There are so many important jobs.

Steven: What do you want me to do? Collect scrap metal in my little red wagon?

Barnes: Yes. Why not?

Steven: I’m not gonna sit in a factory, Bucky. Bucky, come on. There are men laying down their lives. I got no right to do any less than them. That’s what you don’t understand. This isn’t about me.

Barnes: Right. ’Cause you got nothing to prove.

Girl: Hey, Sarge! Are we going dancing?

Barnes: Yes, we are. Don’t do anything stupid until I get back.

Steven: How can I? You’re taking all the stupid with you.

Barnes: You’re a punk.

Steven: Jerk. Be careful. Don’t win the war till I get there!

Barnes: Come on, girls. They’re playing our song.

Doctor: Wait here.

Steven: Is there a problem?

Doctor: Just wait here.

Dr Erskine: Thank you. So, you want to go overseas. Kill some Nazis.

Steven: Excuse me?

Dr Erskine: Dr Abraham Erskine. I represent the Strategic Scientific Reserve.

Steven: Steve Rogers. Where are you from?

Dr Erskine: Queens. 73rd Street and Utopia Parkway. Before that, Germany. This troubles you?

Steven: No.

Dr Erskine: Where are you from, Mr Rogers? Is it New Haven? Or Paramus? Five exams in five different cities.

Steven: That might not be the right file.

Dr Erskine: No, it’s not the exams I’m interested in. It’s the five tries. But you didn’t answer my question. Do you want to kill Nazis?

Steven: Is this a test?

Dr Erskine: Yes.

Steven: I don’t want to kill anyone. I don’t like bullies. I don’t care where they’re from.

Dr Erskine: Well, there are already so many big men fighting this war. Maybe what we need now is a little guy. I can offer you a chance. Only a chance.

Steven: I’ll take it.

Dr Erskine: Good. So where is the little guy from? Actually?

Steven: Brooklyn.

Dr Erskine: Congratulations, soldier.
