Quotes20

  • 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.
  • Thor: Do not touch me again!
  • Tony Stark: Then don't take my stuff.
  • Thor: You have no idea what you are dealing with.
  • Tony Stark: Uh, Shakespeare in The Park? Doth mother know you weareth her drapes?
  • Thor: This is beyond you, metal man. Loki will face Asgardian justice.
  • Tony Stark: He gives up the Cube, he's all yours. Until then, stay out of the way, tourist.
  • 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.
  • Thor: Where is the Tesseract?
  • Loki: [laughs] I missed you too.
  • Thor: Do I look to be in a gaming mood?
  • Loki: Oh, you should thank me. With the Bifrost gone, how much dark energy did the Allfather have to muster to conjure you here, your precious Earth?
  • Thor: I thought you dead.
  • Loki: Did you mourn?
  • Thor: We all did. Our father...
  • Loki: YOUR father! He DID tell you my true parentage, did he not?
  • Thor: We were raised together, we played together, we fought together. Do you remember none of that?
  • Loki: I remember a shadow, living in the shade of your greatness. I remember you tossing me into an abyss, I who was and should be king!
  • Thor: So you take the world I love as recompense for your imagined slights? No, the Earth is under MY protection, Loki!
  • Loki: [laughs] And you're doing a marvelous job with that! The humans slaughter each other in droves, while you ideally threat. I mean to rule them. And why should I not?
  • Thor: You think yourself above them?
  • Loki: Well, yes.
  • Thor: Then you miss the truth of ruling, brother. A throne would suit you ill.
  • Loki: I've seen worlds you've never known about! I have grown, Odin's Son, in my exile! I have seen the true power of the Tesseract, and when I wield it...
  • Thor: Who showed you this power? Who controls the would-be-king?
  • Loki: I AM a king!
  • Thor: Not here! You give up the Tesseract! You give up this pointless dream!... You come home.
  • [pause]
  • Loki: ...I don't have it.
  • [Thor threatens Loki with his hammer]
  • Loki: You need the cube to bring me home, but I've sent it off, I know not where.
  • Thor: You listen well, brother. I...
  • [Thor is knocked off the mountain by Iron Man who tackles him in mid-flight]
  • Loki: I'm listening.
  • Thor: I thought humans were more evolved than this.
  • Nick Fury: Excuse me, did WE come to YOUR planet and blow stuff up?
  • Thor: I have unfinished business with Loki.
  • Clint Barton: Yeah? Get in line.
  • Thor: You people are so petty... and tiny.
  • Nick Fury: You think you could make Loki tell us where the Tesseract is?
  • Thor: I do not know. Loki's mind is far afield. It's not just power he craves, it's vengeance, upon me. There's no pain would prise his need from him.
  • Nick Fury: A lot of guys think that. Until the pain starts.
  • Thor: What are you asking me to do?
  • Nick Fury: I'm asking, what are you prepared to do?
  • Thor: Loki is a prisoner.
  • Nick Fury: Then why do I feel like he's the only person on this boat that wants to be here?
  • [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?
  • Thor: We on Asgard pretend that we are more advanced, but we, we come here battling like Bilgesnipe.
  • Agent Phil Coulson: Like what?
  • Thor: The Bilgesnipe, you know; huge, scaly, big antlers. You don't have those?
  • Agent Phil Coulson: Don't think so.
  • Thor: They are repulsive, and they trample everything in their path.
  • Thor: Your work with the Tesseract is what drew Loki to it... and his allies. It is a signal to the Realm that Earth is ready for a higher form of war!
  • Nick Fury: Higher form? You forced our hand! We had to come up with some way that we could...
  • Tony Stark: A nuclear deterrent? Cause that always works well...
  • Nick Fury: Remind me how you made your fortune, Mr Stark.
  • Thor: You speak of control, yet you court chaos.
  • Bruce Banner: It's his M.O., 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.
  • Nick Fury: You need to step away.
  • Tony Stark: Why shouldn't the guy let off a little steam?
  • Steve Rogers: You know damn well why! Back off!
  • Tony Stark: Oh, I'm starting to want you to make me.
  • Bruce Banner: I'd like to know why SHIELD is using the Tesseract to build weapons of mass destruction.
  • Nick Fury: Because of him!
  • [points at Thor]
  • Thor: Me?
  • Nick Fury: Last year, Earth had a visit from another planet that had a grudge match that leveled a small town. We learned that only are we not alone, but we are hopelessly, hilariously outgunned.
  • Thor: My people want nothing but peace with your planet!
  • Nick Fury: But you're not the only ones out there, are you? And you're not the only threat. The world is filling up with people that can't be matched, that can't be controlled!
  • Steve Rogers: Like you control the cube?
  • Thor: You have no idea what you're dealing with.
  • Tony Stark: Ah... Shakespeare in the park?
  • Tony Stark: [adopts a facetious English accent] Doth mother know you weareth her drapes?
  • [Thor has his arms wrapped around Hulk's right arm and he is trying to fight back the Hulk's attack]
  • Thor: We are not your enemies, Banner! Try to think!
  • [Hulk lifts his arm up, to Thor's surprise, and he sends him flying as he punches Thor's face with his left fist]
  • Thor: Loki, turn off the Tesseract or I will destroy it!
  • Loki: You can't! There's no stopping it. There is only the war!
  • Thor: So be it!
  • Maria Hill: 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.
  • Maria Hill: An army. From outer space.
  • Natasha Romanoff: So he's building another portal. That's what he needs Erik Selvig for.
  • Thor: Selvig?
  • Natasha Romanoff: He's an astrophysicist.
  • Thor: He's a friend.
  • Natasha Romanoff: Loki has them under some kind of spell. Along with one of ours.
  • Maria Hill: 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: Take 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.
  • Loki: The humans think us immortal. Should we test that?
  • [as Loki is about to send Thor out of sight, Phil Coulson enters, knocking a bad guy out. He's holding a very large gun]
  • Agent Phil Coulson: Move away, please. You like this? We started working on the prototype after you sent the Destroyer. Even I don't know what it does.
  • [fires his very large gun up]
  • Agent Phil Coulson: Do you want to find out?
  • [gets impaled in the back by Loki]
  • Thor: [pounds on prison glass] NOOOO!
  • [Coulson falls to his ground, dying]
  • Tony Stark: 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.
  • Thor: We're not finished yet.
  • Tony Stark: And then shawarma after.
  • Agent Phil Coulson: [watching Jane Foster in a monitor] As soon as Loki took the doctor we moved Jane Foster. We've got an excellent observatory in Tromsø. She was asked to consult there very suddenly yesterday. Handsome fee, private plane, very remote. She'll be safe.
  • Thor: Thank you. It's no accident Loki taking Erik Selvig. I dread what he plans for him once he's done. Erik is a good man.
  • Agent Phil Coulson: He talks about you a lot. You changed his life. You changed everything around here.
  • Thor: They were better as they were. We pretend on Asgard that we're more advanced, but we come here battling like Bildschneip.
  • Agent Phil Coulson: [confused] Like what?
  • Thor: Bildschneip. You know, huge, scaly, big antlers. You don't have those?
  • Agent Phil Coulson: [shaking his head] No.
  • Thor: Huh! Well they are repulsive, and they trample everything in their path.
