The Avengers

Fury: We have no quarrel with your people. Loki: An ant has no quarrel with a boot. Fury: You plannin' to step on us? Loki: I come with glad tidings, of a world made free. Fury: Free from what? Loki: Freedom. Freedom is life's great lie. Once you accept that, in your heart– [puts Eric Selvig under his control] you will know peace. Fury: Yeah, you say "peace." I kinda think you mean the other thing.

Malick: This is out of line, Director. You're dealing with forces you can't control. Fury: You ever been in a war, Councilman? In a firefight? Did you feel an overabundance of control? Malick: You're saying that this Asgard is declaring war on our planet? Fury: Not Asgard. Loki. Hawley: He can't be working alone. What about the other one? His brother? Fury: Our intelligence says Thor is not a hostile. But he's worlds away. We can't depend on him to help, either. It's up to us. Malick: Which is why you should be focusing on Phase 2. It was designed for exactly this. Fury: Phase 2 isn't ready. Our enemy is. We need a response team. Malick: The Avengers Initiative was shut down. Fury: This isn't about the Avengers. Malick: We've seen the list. You run the world's greatest covert security network and you're gonna leave the fate of the human race to a handful of freaks? Fury: I'm not leaving anything to anyone. We need a response team. These people may be isolated, unbalanced even, but I be

J.A.R.V.I.S.: Sir, the telephone. I'm afraid my protocols are being overridden. Tony: Uh– Coulson: [Over the phone] Mr. Stark, we need to talk. Tony: [Picks up the phone] You have reached the Life-Model Decoy of Tony Stark. Please leave a message. Coulson: [Over the phone] This is urgent. Tony: Then leave it urgently. [The elevator nearby opens, and Coulson is in it] Security breach. [To Pepper] That's on you. Coulson: Mr. Stark? Pepper: Phil! Come in. Tony: "Phil"? Coulson: I can't stay. Tony: Uh, his first name is "Agent". Pepper: Come in, we're celebrating. Tony: Which is why he can't stay. Coulson: We need you to look this over, as soon as possible. [hands a laptop to Tony] Tony: I don't like being handed things– Pepper: That's fine, 'cause I love to be handed things, so let's trade. [takes the laptop from Coulson's hand while giving him her champagne glass; she then gives the laptop to Tony while taking his glass] Thank you. Tony: Official consulting hours are between

Loki: [Teleporting to the front of a fleeing crowd] Kneel before me! [The crowd flees the other way; Loki teleports in that direction] I said... KNEEL!!! [Slams the staff on the ground, releasing a thunderous shockwave that scares the crowd into submission] Is not this simpler? Is this not your natural state? It is the unspoken truth of humanity that you crave subjugation. The bright lure of freedom diminishes your life's joy in a mad scramble for power. For identity. You were made to be ruled. In the end, you will always kneel. Old German Man: [Stands up] Not to men like you. Loki: [With a smug smirk] There are no men like me. Old German Man: There are always men like you. Loki: Look to your elder, people. Let him be an example. [fires a blast from his scepter at the old man, only to have Captain America jump in and deflect it back with his shield, knocking Loki down] Captain America: Ya know, the last time I was in Germany and saw a man standing above everybody else, we ended up disa

Thor: Do not touch me AGAIN. Iron Man: Then don't take my stuff! Thor: You have no idea what you are dealing with. Iron Man: Uh.... Shakespeare in the Park? Doth Mother know you wear-eth her drapes? Thor: This is beyond you, metal man. Loki will face Asgardian justice! Iron Man: He gives up the Cube, he's all yours! Until then? [His mask comes down] Stay outta the way. [Under his breath] Tourist. Iron Man: Okay.
