The Avengers Movie Quotes
Loki
Enough! You are, all of you are beneath me! I am a god, you dull creature, and I will not be bullied by...
[Hulk flattens Loki with repeated smashes into the floor]
The Hulk
Puny god.

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.

Loki
The Chitauri are coming. Nothing will change that. What have I to fear?
Tony Stark
The Avengers. That's what we call ourselves; we're sort of like a team. "Earth's Mightiest Heroes" type thing.
Loki
Yes, I've met them.
Tony Stark
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 the demi-god; a super soldier, a living legend who kind of lives up to the legend; a man with breath-taking anger management issues; a couple of master assassins, and YOU, big fella, you've managed to piss off every single one of them.
Loki
That was the plan.
Tony Stark
Not a great plan. When they come, and they WILL, they'll come for you.
Loki
I have an army.
Tony Stark
We have a Hulk.
Loki
I thought the beast had wandered off...
Tony Stark
You're missing the point! There's no throne, there is no version of this where you come out on top. Maybe your army comes and maybe it's too much for us but it's all on you. Because if we can't protect the Earth, you can be damned well sure we'll avenge it!

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.

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.
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?

Captain America
Smash!

Thor
Where is the Tesseract?
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...

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.
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.

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.
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!

Natasha Romanoff
I want to know what you've done to Agent Barton.
Loki
I would say I've expanded his mind.
Natasha Romanoff
And once you've won, once you're king of the mountain, what happens to his mind?
Loki
Oh. Is this love, Agent Romanoff?
Natasha Romanoff
Love is for children. I owe him a debt.
Loki
Tell me.
Natasha Romanoff
Before I worked for SHIELD, I, uh... Well, I made a name for myself. I have a very specific skill set. I didn't care who I used it for, or on. I got on SHIELD's radar in a bad way. Agent Barton was sent to kill me. He made a different call.
Loki
And what will you do if I vow to spare him?
Natasha Romanoff
Not let you out.
Natasha Romanoff
Regimes fall every day. I tend not to weep over that, I'm Russian... or was.
Loki
And what are you now?
Natasha Romanoff
It's really not that complicated. I've got red in my ledger, I'd like to wipe it out.
Loki
Can you? Can you wipe out that much red? Dreykov's daughter, Sao Paulo, the hospital fire?
[Natasha's calm demeanor starts to break]
Loki
Barton told me everything. Your ledger is dripping, it's GUSHING red, and you think saving a man no more virtuous than yourself will change anything? This is the basest sentimentality. This is a child at prayer... PATHETIC! You lie and kill in the service of liars and killers. You pretend to be separate, to have your own code. Something that makes up for the horrors. But they are a part of you, and they will never go away!... I won't touch Barton. Not until I make him kill you!
[Natasha's eyes start to bulge as her face turns fearful]
Loki
[snarling]
Slowly, intimately, in every way he knows you fear! And then he'll wake just long enough to see his good work, and when he screams, I'll split his skull! This is MY bargain, you mewling quim!
[Natasha turns and takes several steps away]
Loki
...What?
Natasha Romanoff

Loki means to unleash the Hulk. Keep Banner in the lab, I'm on my way. Send Thor as well.

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...

Yeah. It's seen a bit of "mileage" and you got the "glow-stick of destiny". Would you like a drink?

Bruce Banner
But you can control it.
Tony Stark
Because I learned how.
Bruce Banner
It's different.
[Banner tries to read the computer screen, but Stark slides the data aside with his finger so the two can see face-to-face]
Tony Stark
Hey, I've read all about your accident. That much gamma exposure should have killed you.
Bruce Banner
So you're saying that the Hulk... the other guy... saved my life? That's nice. It's a nice sentiment. Save it for what?

Loki
It's an impressive cage. Not built, I think, for me.
Nick Fury
Built for something a lot stronger than you.
Loki
Oh, I've heard. The mindless beast, makes play he's still a man. How desperate are you, that you call on such lost creatures to defend you?
Nick 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 have 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.

You need men in these buildings. There are people inside and they're going to be running right into the line of fire. You take them to the basements, or through the subway. You keep them off the streets. I need a perimeter as far back as 39th.
Police Sergeant
Why the hell should I take orders from you?

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?

Loki is a prisoner.

Doctor, we're facing a potential global catastrophe.
Bruce Banner
Well, THOSE I actively try to avoid.
Natasha Romanoff
This is the Tesseract.
[she shows him a photo of the Tesseract on her cell phone]
Natasha Romanoff
It has the potential energy to wipe out the planet.
Bruce Banner
What does Fury want me to do? Swallow it?
Natasha Romanoff
Well, he wants you to find it. It's been taken. It omits a gamma signature that's too weak for us to trace. There's no one that knows gamma radiation like you do. If there was, that's where I'd be.
Bruce Banner
So Fury isn't after the monster?
Natasha Romanoff
Not that he's told me.
Bruce Banner
And he tells you everything?
Natasha Romanoff
Talk to Fury, he needs you on this.
Bruce Banner
He needs me in a cage?
Natasha Romanoff
No one's gonna put you in a...
Bruce Banner
STOP LYING TO ME!
[cringing back, Natasha quickly grabs her gun and points it at Banner]
Bruce Banner
I'm sorry, that was mean. I just wanted to see what you'd do. Why don't we do this the easy way, where you don't use that, and the other guy doesn't make a mess? Okay?
[Natasha, still wary, doesn't lower her gun]

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?

Freedom. Freedom is life's great lie. Once you accept that, in your heart...

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
Yes. We were going to build an arsenal with the Tesseract. I never put all my chips on that number, though, because I was playing something even riskier.
[pauses]
Nick Fury
There was an idea, Stark knows this, called the Avengers Initiative. The idea was to bring together a group of of remarkable people to see if they could become something more. To see if they could work together when we needed them to, to fight the battles that we never could.

The Tesseract has awakened. It is on a little world. A human world. They would wield its power, but our ally knows its workings as they never will. He is ready to lead. And our force, our Chitauri, will follow. The world will be his. The universe yours. And the humans, what can they do but burn?

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.

Natasha Romanoff
There was quite the buzz around here, finding you in the ice. I thought Coulson was gonna swoon. Did he ask you to sign his Captain America trading cards yet?
Steve Rogers
Trading cards?
Natasha Romanoff
They're vintage, he's very proud.

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... Loki puts the scepter to Selvig... Stellan Skarsgård... You will know peace.

Carrier Bridge Tech
Turbine looks mostly intact, but it's impossible to get out there to make repairs while we're in the air.
Maria Hill
If we lose one more engine, we won't be.

Nick Fury
Bring the carrier about to a 1-8-0, heading south! Take us to the water!
Carrier Bridge Tech
We're flying blind. Navigation's recalibrating after the engine failure.
Nick Fury
Is the sun coming up?
Carrier Bridge Tech
Yes, sir.
Nick Fury
Then put it on the left. Get us over water. One more turbine goes down, and we drop.

Steve Rogers
Okay, the relays are intact. What's our next move?
Tony Stark
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.
Steve Rogers
Well, if that thing gets up to speed, you'll get shredded.
Tony Stark
That stator control unit can reverse the polarity long enough to disengage maglev and that could...
Steve Rogers
Speak English!
Tony Stark
See that red lever?
[Steve spots the lever]
Tony Stark
It'll slow the rotors down long enough for me to get out. Stand by it. Wait for my word.

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]

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.
Thor
Bildschneip. You know, huge, scaly, big antlers. You don't have those?
Thor
Huh! Well they are repulsive, and they trample everything in their path.

Security Guard
You fell out of the sky.
Bruce Banner
Did I hurt anybody?

There's nobody around here to get hurt. You did scare the hell out of some pigeons though.

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.
