[leave it to steve to downplay his accomplishments. zemo's fingers fly across the keys, wishing he was here right now to see the incredulous lift of his brows.]
I've seen the things you would consider "better" - in nearly every corner of the globe, as a matter of fact. So, you know when I say with full confidence: you are wrong, Steve. This is exceptional.
...Maybe I play for you, I feed you, and you show me some more of these, hm?
