007; accidental video

[The phone turns on when it's dumped on a table with a pile of other things, and the part that isn't obscured by shadows shows Tony's workshop, empty of human life until Tony walks into view a few seconds later. He's shirtless, which isn't uncommon when it comes to Tony, but for those who don't know him, the glowing blue circle in his chest is probably a little weird.]

JARVIS! Where the hell is my - oh, gotcha. [He picks up a small scanner, pricking his finger to draw blood and then checking the device's screen.] And blood toxicity level is normal, hallelujah, praise be above, et cetera and so forth. Looks like the new core's definitely holding out.

Sir, I must inform you -

Not now, darling, daddy's working. [Tossing aside the device, he deftly twists the the arc reactor and pulls it from his chest, holding it up and checking something too small to see on camera. Then just as swiftly as before, he pops the reactor back into its casing and takes a slow, deep breath to steady himself. Even now he doesn't like having the reactor out even for a few seconds.] No degradation around the edges or in the core, and definitely no smoking chunk of twisted metal. I should be getting awards for this shit, seriously. Oh wait, I am.

Sir, perhaps you shoud -

What, JARVIS, what's so important you have to interrupt my absolutely vital tests? You know, the ones you're always nagging me about. I swear, you're like a little kid sometimes, that's the honest truth, you're worse than Dum-E, just don't ever tell him I said that. [As he rambles, he taps his fingers absentmindedly against the arc reactor, spinning a holographic schematic projected over a nearby table with his other hand.]

If I'm allowed to speak now, I was merely trying to inform you that your phone has been broadcasting video for the past several minutes.

What! Why didn't you tell me sooner? [Irritated, Tony hurries back to the pile of stuff he'd dumped on the table and digs out his phone. The last thing anyone can see before the screen goes dark is the ceiling of the workshop while Tony mutters something about how the paparazzi would be having a field day with this.]
