Quotes4

  • Loki: [as Fury tries to leave with the Tesseract] Please don't. I still need that.
  • Nick Fury: This doesn't have to get any messier.
  • Loki: Of course it does. I've come too far anything else. I am Loki, of Asgard and I am burdened with glorious purpose.
  • Selvig: Loki, brother of Thor.
  • Nick Fury: We have no quarrel with your people.
  • Loki: An ant has no quarrel with a boot.
  • Nick Fury: Are you planning to step on us?
  • Loki: I come with glad tidings of a world made free.
  • Nick Fury: Free from what?
  • Loki: Freedom. Freedom is life's great lie. Once you accept that, in your heart...
  • [walks up to Eric Selvig and touches him with the scepter]
  • Loki: ...you will know peace.
  • Nick Fury: Yeah, you say "peace," I kind of think you mean the other thing.
  • Clint Barton: Sir, Director Fury is stalling. This place is about to blow and drop a hundred feet of rock on us. He means to bury us.
  • Nick Fury: Like the pharaohs of old.
  • Selvig: He's right. The portal is collapsing in on itself. We've got maybe two minutes before this goes critical.
  • Loki: Well, then...
  • [Barton shoots Fury, they leave]
  • Jarvis: [as Iron Man arrives at Stark Tower to confront Loki and Selvig] Sir, I've shut down the Arc Reactor, but the device is already self-sustaining.
  • Iron Man: Shut it down, Dr. Selvig.
  • Selvig: It's too late! She can't stop now. She wants to show us something! A new universe.
  • Iron Man: OK.
  • [blasts the device, which defends itself with a barrier, blasting Selvig into a wall and pushing Iron Man back]
  • Jarvis: The barrier is pure energy. It's unbreachable.
  • Iron Man: Yeah I got that - Plan B.
  • [he turns to Loki and drifts down to his landing pad]
  • Jarvis: Sir, the Mark VII is not ready for deployment.
  • Iron Man: Then skip the spinning rims! We're on the clock!
  • [Lands and has his armor removed]
  • Nick Fury: Where's Barton?
  • Selvig: The Hawk? Up in his nest, as usual.
  • Selvig: The Tesseract is showing me so much. It's more than just knowledge, it's... truth.
  • Loki: I know. What did it show you, Agent Barton?
  • Clint Barton: My next target.
  • Loki: Tell me what you need.
  • Clint Barton: I'll need a distraction.
  • [Barton grabs his bow]
  • Clint Barton: And an eyeball.
