Drax She already told me everything.

The Universe's Need for Correction Explained
Rocket Oh, no...
Captain America Where are they?
[to Thanos]
Captain Marvel Answer the question.
[Tightens her vise grip on Thanos' throat]
Thanos The universe required correction. After that, the stones served no purpose beyond temptation.
Bruce ]
[[Avengers: Infinity War|You murdered TRILLIONS!; shoves Thanos to the ground]
Thanos You should be grateful.
[gets punched by Bruce]
Black Widow Where are the stones?
Thanos Gone. Reduced to atoms.
Bruce You used them two days ago!
Thanos ].
[[Avengers: Infinity War|I used the stones to destroy the stones. It nearly killed me, but the work is done. It always will be. I am... inevitable]
War Machine We have to tear this place apart. He has to be lying!
Nebula My father is many things. A liar is not one of them.
Thanos Ahhh. Thank you, daughter. Perhaps I treated you too harshly–
[Gets decapitated by Thor]
Rocket What? What did you do?
Thor ]
[[Avengers: Infinity War|I went for the head.]

Betrayal Over an Infinity Stone Agreement
Ronan The Orb is in my possession, as I promised.
[speaking to Thanos by hologram]
Thanos Bring it to me.
Ronan Yes, that was our agreement. Bring you the Orb, and you will destroy Xandar for me. However, now that I know it contains an Infinity Stone, I wonder what use I have for you?
[Ronan cracks the Orb open, exposing the Stone]
Thanos Boy! I would reconsider your current course!
Korath Master, you cannot! Thanos is the most powerful being in the universe!
Ronan Not anymore. YOU CALL ME "BOY"?! I will unfurl one thousand years of Kree justice on Xandar AND BURN IT TO ITS CORE! Then, Thanos, I'm coming for you.
[Ronan seizes the Stone and, before its power can consume him, implants the Stone in his warhammer. Once in control, he faces Thanos; Thanos ends the communication]

Nebula No. You see what he has turned me into. You kill him, I will help you destroy a thousand planets.

Emily You're bleeding.
Sam It's just a scratch.
Emily It can get infected. Worms will get in there and lay eggs. And then they'll have to cut your arm off.
Sam That's what they teach you in school these days?
Determining the Time and Place for Stones
Steve Okay, so the "how" works. Now we gotta figure out the "when" and the "where." Almost all of us has had an encounter with at least one of the six Infinity Stones.
Stark Well, I'd substitute the word "encounter" for "damn well near been killed by" one of the six Infinity Stones.
Scott I haven't, I don't even know what the hell you're all talking about.
Banner Regardless, we only have enough Pym Particles for one round trip each, and these Stones have been in a lot of different places throughout history.
Stark Our history. So, not a lot of convenient spots to just drop in.
Clint Which means we have to pick our targets.
Stark Correct.
Steve Let's start with the Aether. Thor, what do you know?
Natasha Is he asleep?
[Thor is sitting on a chair with his sunglasses on]
Rhodey No. I'm pretty sure he's dead.
Thor Where to start? Umm…the Aether, first, is not a stone, someone called it a stone before. It's more of a…an angry sludge thing, so…someone's gonna need to amend that. Here's an interesting story though, many years ago…my ] had to hide the stones from the ], wooooh, scary beings. So ]… Oh, there she is. That's Jane. She's– an old flame of mine. She– she stuck her hand inside a rock ]– and then the Aether stuck itself inside her. And she became very, very sick. So I had to take her to Asgard, which is where I'm from. And we had to try and fix her. We were dating at the time, you see. I got to introduce her to my ]…who's dead… …and, oh, you know, Jane and I aren't even dating anymore, these things happen though you know, nothing last forever… I'm not done yet, the only thing permanent in life is impermanence.

Stark Awesome. Eggs? Breakfast?
Thor No. I'd like a Bloody Mary.
Rocket ] said he ].
[[w:Star-Lord|Quill; [Guardians of the Galaxy (film)|stole the Power Stone from Morag]
Scott Is that a person?
Rocket Morag's a planet, Quill was a person.
Scott A planet? Like in outer space?
Rocket Oh, look: it's like a little puppy, all happy and everything. Do you want to go to space? You want to go to space, puppy? I'll take you to space!
[Mockingly; starts petting Scott]
Nebula Thanos ].
[[Avengers: Infinity War|found the Soul Stone on Vormir]
Natasha What is Vormir?
[in a business-like tone]
Nebula A dominion of death, at the very center of Celestial existence. It's where... Thanos ] my ].
[[Avengers: Infinity War|murdered; [w:Gamora|sister]
Scott Not it.
Natasha That Time Stone guy…
[lying on a paper-filled table]
Banner ].
[lying down on the floor; [Doctor Strange]
Natasha Yeah, what kind of doctor was he?
Stark Neuro stuff meets rabbit from a hat. Nice place in the ], though.
[[w:Greenwich Village|Village]
Banner Yeah. Sullivan Street. Hmm– Bleecker.
[Corrects himself]
Natasha Wait, he lived in New York?
Stark No, ].
[Sarcastically; [Doctor Strange (film)|he lived in Toronto]
Natasha Guys, if you pick ], there are three Stones in New York.
[[The Avengers (2012 film)|the right year]
Banner Shut the front door!
[Sits up in surprise]

Understanding Strengths and Weaknesses
Ruby Roundhouse It's your strengths and weaknesses.
Time Travel Ethics in the Avengers Universe
Banner Clint, now you're gonna feel a little discombobulated from the chronoshift, don't worry about that--
James Rhodes Wait, wait, wait a second. Let me ask you something. If we can do this, you know…go back in time, why don't we just find baby Thanos, you know, and…
[makes a gesture of strangling a baby with a rope, complete with "choking sound"]
Banner First of all, that's horrible...
[disgusted]
Rhodes It's Thanos.
Banner ...and secondly, time doesn't work that way. Changing the past doesn't change the future!
Scott Look, we go back, we get the stones before Thanos gets them? Thanos doesn't have the stones. Problem solved!
Clint Barton Bingo.
Nebula That's not how it works.
Barton Well, that's what I heard.
Banner What, by who? Who told you that?
Rhodes ], ], ], ]…
[counting with his fingers; [Star Trek; [The Terminator|Terminator; [w:Timecop|Timecop; [w:Time After Time (1979 film)|Time After Time]
Scott …]…
[[Quantum Leap]
Rhodes ], ]…
[[A Wrinkle in Time (2018 film)|Wrinkle in Time; [Somewhere in Time]
Scott ]…
[[Hot Tub Time Machine]
Rhodes Hot Tub Time Machine, ] - basically, any movie that deals with time travel.
[[Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure]
Scott ]? No, that's not one.
[[Die Hard]
Rhodes This is known.
Banner I don't know why everyone believes that, but that isn't true. Think about it. If you travel to the past, that past becomes your future. And your former present becomes the past, which can't now be changed by your new future!
Nebula Exactly.
Scott So ] is a bunch of bullshit?
[confused; [Back to the Future]
Doubts About the Dog Team's Performance
Charles Lazy mutts!

Hal Charles, persuade him, please.
Mercedes Not the pup. Charles, put that down or I'll... I won't go a step! Charles!

[walks over to Hal]
Hal Gee pole?
Strength in Numbers vs. Personal Bonds
Virgil You think you have a chance here? I have an army.

[as Nebula tries to open the car door]
