Dialogue

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.

Dialogue

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

Dialogue

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

Dialogue

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

Dialogue

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.

Dialogue

JARVIS: Power levels at 400% capacity. Iron Man: [a bit smug] How 'bout that?

Dialogue

Captain America: Now, I don't know what you plan on doing here. Thor: I've come here to put an end to Loki's schemes! Captain America: Then prove it. Put that hammer down. Iron Man: Uh, yeah, no. Bad call! He loves his ha-- [Thor throws him across the forest with a single swing] Thor: [enraged] You want me to put the hammer down?! Captain America: Are we done here?

Dialogue

Loki: How desperate are you, that you call on such lost creatures to defend you? Fury: How desperate am I? You threaten my world with war, you steal a force you can't hope to control, you talk about peace, and you kill 'cause it's fun. You have made me VERY desperate. You might not be glad that you did. Loki: Ooh. It burns you to come so close. To have the Tesseract, to have power, unlimited power, and for what? A warm light for all mankind to share. And then to be reminded what "real power" is. Fury: Well, lemme know if "real power" wants a magazine or somethin'.

Dialogue

Thor: You speak of control, yet you court chaos. Banner: That's his MO, isn't it? I mean, what are we, a team? No, no, no. We're a chemical mixture that makes chaos. We're– we're a time-bomb. Fury: You need to step away. Tony: Why shouldn't the man let off a little steam? Rogers: You know damn well why! Back off! Tony: I'm startin' to want you to make me. Rogers: Yeah. Big man in a suit of armor. Take that off, what are you? Tony: [casually] Genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist. [Natasha shrugs condescendingly, but concedes Stark's point] Rogers: I know guys with none of that worth ten of you. I've seen the footage. The only thing you really fight for is yourself. You're not the guy to make the sacrifice play, to lay down on a wire and let the other guy crawl over you. Tony: I think I'd just cut the wire. Rogers: Always a way out. You know, you may not be a threat, but you'd better stop pretending to be a hero. Tony: A hero? Like you? You're a lab experiment, Rogers. Ever

Dialogue

Steve: Was he married? Tony: No. There was a, uh... cellist. I think. Steve: I'm sorry. He seemed like a good man. Tony: He was an idiot. Steve: Why? For believing? Tony: For taking on Loki alone. Steve: He was doing his job. Tony: Ugh. He was out of his league! He should've waited! He should've... Steve: Sometimes there isn't a way out, Tony. Tony: Right. I've heard that before. Steve: Is this the first time you've lost a soldier? Tony: We are not soldiers. I'm not marching to Fury's fife. Steve: Neither am I; he's got the same blood on his hands as Loki does. But right, now, we've gotta put that behind us and get this done.

Dialogue

Captain America: [over comms] OK, the relays are intact! What's our next move? Iron Man: Even if I clear the rotors, this thing won't re-engage without a jump. I'm gonna have to get in there and push. Captain America: Well, if that thing gets up to speed, you'll get shredded. Iron Man: Then stay in the control unit, it can reverse polarity long enough to dis-engage mag-lev and that should-- Captain America: Speak English.

Dialogue

Maria Hill: Sir... those cards-- They were in Coulson's locker. Not in his jacket. Fury: They needed the push.

Dialogue

Loki: Please tell me you're going to appeal to my humanity. Tony: Uh, actually, I'm planning to threaten you. Loki: You should have left your armor on for that. Tony: Yeah. It's seen a bit of mileage and you got the, uh... Glow Stick of Destiny. Would you like a drink? Loki: Stalling me won't change anything. Tony: No, no, no. Threatening. No drink? You sure? I'm having one. [Pours a glass of whisky] Loki: The Chitauri are coming. Nothing will change that. What have I to fear? Tony: The Avengers. [Loki looks confused] It's what we call ourselves. Sorta like a team. "Earth's Mightiest Heroes" type of thing. Loki: Yes. I've met them. Tony: Yeah. Takes us a while to get any traction, I'll give you that one. But let's do a head count here. Your brother, a demigod; a super soldier, a living legend who kind of lives up to the legend; a man with breathtaking anger management issues; a couple of master assassins, and you, big fella; you've managed to piss off every single one of them. Loki: Th

Dialogue

Thor: Loki! Turn off the Tesseract, or I'll destroy it! Loki: You can't. There is no stopping it. [points his Sceptor at Thor] There is only... the war. Thor: So be it.

Dialogue

Captain America: Stark, you seeing this? Iron Man: Seeing. Still working on believing.

Dialogue

Thor: Look at this! Look around you! You think this madness will end with your rule?! Loki: [tries to look away] It's too late. It's too late to stop it. Thor: No. We can. Together. Loki: Sentiment...

Dialogue

Black Widow: This is just like Budapest all over again! Hawkeye: You and I remember Budapest very differently.

Dialogue

Captain America: Doctor Banner. Now might be a really good time for you to get angry. Banner: That's my secret, Cap. I'm always angry. [transforms into Hulk]

Dialogue

Black Widow: Guys? Iron Man: Call it, Captain. Captain America: Alright, listen up. Until we can close that portal, our priority is containment. Barton, I want you on that roof, eyes on everything. Call out patterns and strays. Stark, you got the perimeter. Anything gets more than three blocks out, you turn it back, or you turn it to ash. Iron Man: Right. Better clench up, . [Flies Barton to the indicated rooftop] Captain America: Thor, you gotta try and bottleneck that portal. Slow 'em down. You got the lightning. Light the bastards up. [Thor flies off on . Captain America continues speaking to Widow.] You and me, we stay here on the ground, keep the fighting here. And Hulk? Captain America: [Points to Chitauri] Smash.

Dialogue

Loki: ENOUGH! You are, all of you, beneath me! I am a god, you dull creature, and I will not be bullied by– Hulk: PUNY GOD.

Dialogue

If it's all the same to you– I'll have that drink now.

Dialogue

Malick: Where are the Avengers? Fury: I'm not currently tracking their whereabouts. I'd say they've earned a leave of absence. Hawley: And the Tesseract? Fury: The Tesseract is where it belongs. Out of our reach. Malick: That's not your call, Director. Fury: I didn't make it. I just didn't argue with the god that did. Malick: So you've let him take it, and the war criminal Loki, who should be answering for his crimes? Fury: Oh, I think he will be. Hawley: I don't think you understand what you've started, letting the Avengers loose on this world. They're dangerous. Fury: They sure are. And the world knows it. Every world knows it. Malick: Was that the point of all this? A statement? Fury: A promise.

Dialogue

Hill: Sir, how does it work now? They've gone their separate ways, some– pretty extremely far. We get into a situation like this again, what happens then? Fury: They'll come back. Hill: You really sure about that? Fury: I am. Hill: Why? Fury: Because we'll need them to.
