Iron Man party on plane scene - what were Rhodes (Terence Howard) and Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) saying?

When Tony and Rhodes are getting drunk and watching the stewardesses dance, Rhodes tries to talk to Tony about the direction his life is taking. Rhodes starts off with "When I put on this uniform, I look in the mirror and I know every other person who wears this uniform has got my back." But I can't hear the conversation over the soundtrack after that.

I get the gist of it - Rhodes wants to know what Tony has that gives him a comparable feeling, and Tony says he's distracted - So what I'm looking for is a direct quote from the movie and/or script.

Thanks in advance!

    As good as I can get....

    Rhoades-"That's what I'm talking about, when I get up in the morning and I'm putting on my uniform, you know what I recognize? I see in that mirror that every person thats got this uniform on, got my back"

    Tony "You, no I'm not like you"

    Rhoades "No you don't have to be like me but you are more than what you are and you (can't/don't/won't) see it"

    Stark "Can you excuse me if I'm just a little bit distracted here."

    Rhoades "No, I don't, can't be distracted."

    Some of Tony's lines are jumbled so you cannot always make it out. But Rhoades bits are fairly clear-and he basically is telling Tony that he knows there is more to him.
