Steve Rogers • Captain America
- Steve Rogers: Thor, what's his play?
- Thor: He has an army, called the Chitauri. They're not of Asgard or any world known. He means to lead them against your people. They will win him the Earth. In return, I suspect, for the Tesseract.
- Steve Rogers: An army. From outer space.
- Bruce Banner: So he's building another portal. That's what he needs Erik Selvig for.
- Thor: Selvig?
- Bruce Banner: He's an astrophysicist.
- Thor: He's a friend.
- Natasha Romanoff: Loki has them under some kind of spell. Along with one of ours.
- Steve Rogers: I wanna know why Loki let us take him. He's not leading an army from here.
- Bruce Banner: I don't think we should be focusing on Loki. That guy's brain is a bag full of cats. You can smell crazy on him.
- Thor: Have a care how you speak! Loki is beyond reason, but he is of Asgard and he is my brother!
- Natasha Romanoff: He killed eighty people in two days.
- Thor: He's adopted.
- Tony Stark: What's the stat, Rogers?
- Steve Rogers: [looks at the Helicarrier tech] It seems to be powered by some sort of electricity!
- Tony Stark: ...well, you're not wrong.
- Steve Rogers: Big man in a suit of armour. Take that off, what are you?
- Tony Stark: Genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist.
- Steve 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 Stark: I think I would just cut the wire.
- Steve Rogers: Always a way out... You know, you may not be a threat, but you better stop pretending to be a hero.
- Tony Stark: A hero? Like you? You're a lab rat, Rogers. Everything special about you came out of a bottle!
- Steve Rogers: Put on the suit. Let's go a few rounds.
- Steve Rogers: What's the matter, scared of a little lightning?
- Loki: I'm not overly fond of what follows...
- [Thor appears]
- Iron Man: [as the fight begins] Call it, Captain!
- Captain America: Alright, listen up. Until we can close that portal, our priority's 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.
- Hawkeye: [to Iron Man] Want to give me a lift?
- Iron Man: Right. Better clench up, Legolas.
- [Iron Man takes Hawkeye up to the roof]
- Captain America: Thor, you gotta try and bottleneck that portal. Slow 'em down. You got the lightning. Light the bastards up.
- [Thor swings his hammer and flies off and Captain America turns to Black Widow]
- Captain America: You and me, we stay here on the ground, keep the fighting here. And Hulk?
- [the Hulk turns and glares at Cap]
- Captain America: Smash!
- [Hulk grins and leaps away]
- Loki: Kneel before me. I said, KNEEL!
- [Loki stamps his scepter on the ground, causing a shockwave that intimidates the crowd into silence as they all kneel before him]
- Loki: Is not this simpler? Is this not your natural state? It's 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.
- German Old Man: [slowly rises to his feet] Not to men like you.
- Loki: [smiling] There are no men like me.
- German Old Man: There are *always* men like you.
- Loki: Look to your elder, people. Let him be an example.
- [Loki aims a blast of power from his scepter at the old man when Captain America leaps in front of the intended target, deflecting the blast with his shield back at Loki, knocking him down]
- Steve Rogers: You know, the last time I was in Germany and saw a man standing above everybody else, we ended up disagreeing.
- Loki: The soldier. A man out of time.
- Steve Rogers: I'm not the one who's out of time.
- [Stark suits up to chase Thor and Loki]
- Steve Rogers: Stark, we need a plan of attack!
- Tony Stark: I have a plan: attack!
- [Captain America puts on a parachute to go follow after Thor, Loki and Iron Man]
- Natasha Romanoff: I'd sit this one out, Cap.
- Steve Rogers: I don't see how I can.
- Natasha Romanoff: These guys come from legend. They're basically gods.
- Steve Rogers: There's only one God, ma'am, and I'm pretty sure he doesn't dress like that.
- [Captain America leaps out of the Quinjet]
- Tony Stark: [about Loki killing Coulson] He made it personal.
- Steve Rogers: That's not the point.
- Tony Stark: That IS the point. That's Loki's point! He hit us all right where we live. Why?
- Steve Rogers: To tear us apart.
- Tony Stark: Yeah, divide and conquer is great, but he knows he has to take us out to win, right? THAT'S what he wants. He wants to beat us, he wants to be seen doing it. He wants an audience.
- Steve Rogers: Right. I caught his act at Stuttgart.
- Tony Stark: Yeah, that was just previews. This is - this is opening night. And Loki, he's a full-tilt diva, right? He wants flowers, he wants parades. He wants a monument built to the skies with his name plastered...
- [Stark pauses; he and Rogers look at each other knowingly]
- Tony Stark: Sonofabitch!
- Steve Rogers: Does Loki need any particular kind of power source?
- Bruce Banner: He'd have to heat the cube to a hundred and twenty million Kelvin just to break through the Coulomb barrier.
- Tony Stark: Unless Selvig has figured out how to stabilize the quantum tunnelling effect.
- Bruce Banner: Well, if he could do that, he could achieve heavy ion fusion at any reactor on the planet.
- Tony Stark: Finally, someone who speaks English.
- Steve Rogers: Is that what just happened?
- [Stark and Banner shake hands]
- Tony Stark: It's good to meet you, Dr. Banner. Your work on anti-electron collisions is unparalleled. And I'm a huge fan of the way you lose control and turn into an enormous green rage monster.
- Bruce Banner: Thanks.
- Nick Fury: [to Stark] Dr. Banner is only here to track the cube. I was hoping you might join him.
- Steve Rogers: Let's start with that stick of his. It may be magical, but it works an awful lot like a Hydra weapon.
- Nick Fury: I don't know about that, but it is powered by the cube. And I'd like to know how Loki used it to turn two of the sharpest men I know into his personal flying monkeys.
- Thor: Monkeys? I do not understand.
- Steve Rogers: I do!
- [Stark rolls his eyes, while Captain America looks proud of himself]
- Steve Rogers: I understood that reference.
- Tony Stark: [regaining consciousness] What just happened? Please tell me nobody kissed me.
- Steve Rogers: We won.
- Tony Stark: Alright. Hey. Alright. Good job, guys. Let's just not come in tomorrow. Let's just take a day. Have you ever tried shawarma? There's a shawarma joint about two blocks from here. I don't know what it is, but I wanna try it.
- Waitress: [deleted scene: Cap, feeling disconnected from the world, sits at an outdoor cafe table sketching Stark Tower] Waiting on the big guy?
- Steve Rogers: Ma'am?
- Waitress: Iron Man. A lot of people eat here just to see him fly by.
- Steve Rogers: Right. Maybe another time.
- [pays his tab]
- Waitress: The table's yours as long as you like. Nobody's waiting on it. Plus we've got free wireless.
- Steve Rogers: Radio?
- [she gives him a nice look over her shoulder as she walks away]
- Stan Lee: [from the adjacent table] Ask for her number, you moron.
- Steve Rogers: Doctor Banner, now might be a good time for you to get angry.
- Bruce Banner: That's my secret, Captain: I'm always angry.
- [Banner hulks out and punches the Leviathan]
- Natasha Romanoff: [all arguing in the lab] Are you really that dense? S.H.I.E.L.D. monitors potential threats.
- Bruce Banner: Captain America is on threat watch?
- Natasha Romanoff: We ALL are!
- Tony Stark: [to Rogers] You're on that list? Are you above or below angry bees?
- Steve Rogers: I swear, Stark, one more wisecrack out of you...
- Tony Stark: Verbal threat! Threatening! I'm being threatened!
- [after attacking Loki with full weapons activated]
- Tony Stark: Make a move, Reindeer Games...
- [Loki quietly surrenders]
- Tony Stark: Good move.
- Steve Rogers: Mr. Stark.
- Tony Stark: Captain.
- Natasha Romanoff: Gentlemen, you might want to step inside in a minute. It's going to get a little hard to breathe.
- [as the Helicarrier starts to power up, Steve Rogers and Bruce Banner walk to the edge]
- Steve Rogers: Is this a submarine?
- Bruce Banner: Really? They want me submerged in a pressurized metal container?
- [Rogers and Banner stand at the edge and they look over as the Helicarrier starts to slowly rise out of the ocean to fly]
- Bruce Banner: [smiles] Oh, no, this is MUCH worse!
- [Rogers hands $10 to Fury]
- [Captain America throws his shield between Iron Man and Thor, stopping their fight in the woods]
- Steve Rogers: Hey! That's enough!
- [Captain America looks at Thor]
- Steve Rogers: Now, I don't know what you plan on doing here.
- Thor: I've come here to put and end to Loki's schemes!
- Steve Rogers: Then prove it! Put the hammer down.
- Tony Stark: Um, yeah, no! Bad call! He loves his hammer!
- [Thor knocks Iron Man back with his hammer]
- Thor: [to Cap] You want me to put the hammer down?
- [Captain America ducks and holds up his shield as Thor leaps at him, blocking Thor's blow. The impact of the hammer on the vibranium shield creates a massive shockwave, knocking Thor off his feet]
- Steve Rogers: Are we done here?
- Steve Rogers: When I went under, the world was at war. I wake up, they say we won. They didn't say what we lost.
- Nick Fury: We've made some mistakes along the way. Some, very recently.
- Steve Rogers: Are you here with a mission, sir?
- Nick Fury: I am.
- Steve Rogers: Trying to get me back in the world?
- Nick Fury: Trying to save it.
- [Fury shows a file of the Tesseract]
- Steve Rogers: HYDRA's secret weapon.
- Nick Fury: Howard Stark fished that out of the ocean when he was looking for you. He thought what we think: the Tesseract could be the key to unlimited sustainable energy. That's something the world sorely needs.
- Steve Rogers: Who took it from you?
- Nick Fury: He's called Loki. He's not from around here. There's a lot we'll have to bring you up to speed on if you're in. The world has gotten even stranger than you already know.
- Steve Rogers: At this point, I doubt anything would surprise me.
- Nick Fury: Ten bucks says you're wrong. There's a debriefing packet waiting for you at your apartment. Is there anything you can tell us about the Tesseract that we ought to know now?
- Steve Rogers: You should have left it in the ocean.
