Legacy of Worthiness and Honor
Odin
One son who wanted the throne too much, and another who will not take it. Is this my legacy?
Thor
Loki died with honour. I shall try to live the same. Is that not legacy enough?
[''Offers the hammer'']
Odin
It belongs to you, if you are worthy of it.
Thor
I shall try to be.
Odin
I can not give you my blessing, nor can I wish you good fortune.
Thor
I know.
[''Turns to leave'']
Odin
If I were proud of the man my son has become, even that I could not say, it would speak only from my heart. Go, my son.

No... thank you.

The Struggle of Creative Aspirations
Zelda Fitzgerald

F. Scott Fitzgerald
Sure does.

Desperation and Power in Conflict
Loki
How desperate are you, that you call on such lost creatures to defend you?
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 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.
Fury
Well, lemme know if "real ]" wants a magazine or somethin'.

Betrayal and Offers of Alliance
Loki
It hurts, doesn't it? Being lied to. Being told you're one thing and then learning it's all a fiction. You didn't think I'd really come and see you, did you? This place is disgusting. Does this mean you don't want my help? Look, I couldn't jeopardize my position with the Grandmaster, it took me time to win his trust. He's a lunatic, but he can be amenable. What I'm telling you is, you could join me at the Grandmaster's side. Perhaps, in time, an accident befalls the Grandmaster, and then...

Sibling Rivalry and Memories of Loss
Thor
You think you alone were loved of Mother? You had her tricks, but I had her trust!
Loki
Trust? Was that her last expression, trust? While you let her die?!
Thor
What good were you in your cell?
Loki
Who put me there? WHO PUT ME THERE?!
Thor
YOU KNOW DAMN WELL WHO! YOU KNOW DAMN WELL WHO!!! She wouldn't want us to fight.
[Pins Loki and is about to hit him, but relents and lets him go]
Loki
Well, she wouldn't exactly be shocked.
Thor
I wish I could trust you.

Confronting Responsibility and Legacy in Leadership
Frigga
You know full well it was your actions that brought you here.
Loki
My actions? I was merely giving truth to the lie that I had been fed my entire life…that I was born to be a king.
Frigga
A king? A true king admits his faults. What of the lives you took on Earth?
Loki
A mere handful compared to the number that Odin has taken himself.
Frigga
Your father—
Loki
He's not my father!
Frigga
Then am I not your mother?
Loki
You're not.
Frigga
You're always so perceptive about everyone but yourself.

Confrontation Over Responsibility and Protection
Thor
Why did you bring us back?
Odin
Do you realize what you've done? What you've started?
Thor
I was protecting my home.
Odin
You cannot even protect your friends! How can you hope to protect a kingdom? Get him to a healing room! Now!
[Throws Heimdall the sword. Heimdall catches it. He turns to Fandral, who was injured in the fight]
Thor
There won't be a kingdom to protect if you're afraid to act. The Jotuns must learn to fear me, just as they once feared you.
Odin
That's pride and vanity talking, not leadership. You've forgotten everything I taught you about a warrior's patience.
Thor
While you wait and be patient, the Nine Realms laugh at us. The old ways are done. You'd stand giving speeches while Asgard falls!
[Getting frustrated]
Odin
YOU ARE A VAIN, GREEDY, CRUEL BOY!!!
[Suddenly shouting]
Thor
AND YOU ARE AN OLD MAN AND A FOOL!!!
[Just as loud]
Odin
Yes. I was a fool... to think you were ready.
[Hesitantly, obviously hurt]
Loki
Father–
Odin
HAEEERGH!!! Thor Odinson, you have betrayed the express command of your king. Through your arrogance and stupidity, you have opened these peaceful realms and innocent lives to the horror and desolation of ]! You are unworthy of these realms! Unworthy of your title! You're unworthy! Of the loved ones you have betrayed. I now take from you your power! In the name of my father and his father before, I, Odin Allfather, CAST YOU OUT!!! Whosoever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor.

Writers Introduce Themselves in a Bar
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Greetings and salutations. You’ll forgive me, I’ve been mixing grain and grappa. Now this is a writer, Gil, yes?
Gil
Gil Pender.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Gil Pender.
Ernest Hemingway
Hemingway.
Gil
Hemingway?
Hemingway
You like my book.
Gil
Liked? I loved, all your work.
Hemingway
Yes, it was a good book because it was an honest book, and that’s what war does to men. And there’s nothing fine and noble about dying in the mud unless you die gracefully, and then it’s not only noble but brave.
Zelda Fitzgerald
Did you read my story? What’d you think?
Hemingway
There was some fine writing in it, but it was unfulfilled.
Zelda Fitzgerald
I might have known you’d hate it.

Exploring Scientific Theories and Interdimensional Mysteries
Nick Fury
Dr. Selvig.
[Greeting him]
Selvig
So, you're the man behind all this? It's quite a labyrinth. I was thinking that you had taken me down here to kill me.
Fury
I've been hearing about the New Mexico situation. Your work has impressed a lot of people who are much smarter than I am.
Selvig
I had a lot to work with: the Foster theory, a gateway to another dimension – it's unprecedented – isn't it?
Fury
Legend tells us one thing; history, another. But, every now and then, we find something that belongs to both.
[Opens a suitcase, which contains a small [[w:Cosmic Cube|cube]
Selvig
What is it?
Fury
Power, Doctor. If we figure out how to tap it, maybe unlimited power.
Loki
Well, I guess that's worth a look.
[Appears, invisible, in a mirror and whispers to Selvig]
Selvig
Well, I guess that's worth a look.

Loki's Enthusiasm for a Daring Escape
Loki
You know, this is wonderful! This a tremendous idea! Let's steal the biggest, most obvious ship in the universe and escape in that! Flying around the city, smash it into everything in sight so everyone can see us! It's brilliant, Thor! It's truly brilliant-
[Thor shoves Loki out of the ship, and jumps out with Jane in his arms into a skiff piloted by Fandral]
Fandral
I see your time in the dungeon has made you no less graceful, Loki!

No, Loki.

Loki's Betrayal and Desire for Destruction

The Nature of Consequences and Mortality
Loki
I really don't see what all the fuss is about…
[''Mock salute to Odin'']
Odin
Do you not truly feel the gravity of your crimes? Wherever you go there is war, ruin and death!
Loki
].
[[The Avengers (2012 film)|I went down to Midgard to rule the people of Earth as a benevolent God, just like you]
Odin
We are not gods. We're born, we live, we die, just as humans do.
Loki
Give or take five thousand years.
Odin
All this because Loki desires a throne...
Loki
It is my birthright!
Odin
Your birthright was to DIE! As a child, cast out on a frozen rock. If I had not taken you in, you would not be here now, to hate me.
Loki
If I'm for the axe, then for mercy's sake, just swing it. It's not that I don't like our little talks, it's just... I don't love them.
Odin
Frigga is the only reason you're still alive, and you will never see her again. You'll spend the rest of your days in the dungeons.
Loki
And what of Thor? You'll make that witless oaf King while I rot in chains?
Odin
Thor must strive to undo the damage you have done. He will bring order to the Nine Realms, and then, yes, he will be King.

A Complex Brotherly Reunion
Loki
Thor. After all this time and now you come to visit me. Why? Have you come to gloat? To mock?
Thor
Loki, enough. No more illusions.
[''Loki and the neat room turn to a destroyed room with Loki looking disheveled on the floor'']
Loki
Now you see me, brother. Did she suffer?
[''referring to Frigga'']
Thor
I did not come here to share our grief. Instead, I offer you the chance of a far richer sacrament.
Loki
Go on.
Thor
I know you seek vengeance as much as I do. You help me escape Asgard, and I will grant it to you. Vengeance. And afterward, this cell.
Loki
You must be truly desperate to come to me for help. What makes you think you can trust me?
[''Chuckles'']
Thor
I don't. Mother did. You should know that when we fought each other in the past, I did so with a glimmer of hope that my brother was still in there somewhere. That hope no longer exists to protect you. You betray me, and I will kill you.
Loki
Hm. When do we start?

F. Scott Fitzgerald
She’s exciting and she has talent.
Hemingway

Gil
Me?
Hemingway

Gil
I actually don’t know the Fitzgeralds that well.
Hemingway

F. Scott Fizgerald
Can we not discuss my personal life in public?
Hemingway

The Nature of Power and Subjugation
Loki
Kneel before me! I said... KNEEL!!! Is not this simpler? Is this not your natural state? It is 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.

Threats and Humor in Tense Moments
Loki
Please tell me you're going to appeal to my humanity.
Tony
Uh, actually, I'm planning to threaten you.
Loki
You should have left your armor on for that.
Tony
Yeah. It's seen a bit of mileage and you got the, uh... Glow Stick of Destiny. Would you like a drink?
Loki
Stalling me won't change anything.
Tony
No, no, no. Threatening. No drink? You sure? I'm having one.
[Pours a glass of whisky]
Loki
The Chitauri are coming. Nothing will change that. What have I to fear?
Tony
The Avengers. It's what we call ourselves. Sorta like a team. "Earth's Mightiest Heroes" type of thing.
[Loki looks confused]
Loki
Yes. I've met them.
Tony
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, a demigod; a ], a living legend who kind of lives up to the legend; a ]; a couple of master assassins, and you, big fella; you've managed to piss off every single one of them.
[[w:Captain America|super soldier; [w:Hulk (comics)|man with ''breathtaking'' anger management issues]
Loki
That was the plan.
Tony
Not a great plan. When they come – and they will– they'll come for you.
Loki
I have an army.
Tony
We have a Hulk.
Loki
I thought the beast had wandered off.
Tony
You're missing the point. There's no ]. There is no version of this where you come out on top. Now 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 damn well sure we'll avenge it.

Tony
Well, performance issues. It's not uncommon. One out of five– JARVIS, any time now!
[Loki grabs him by the throat and throws him across the room]
Tony

Tony

[Loki raises his Scepter, but Tony quickly blasts him.]
