Team Strategy for Containment Operation
Black Widow Guys?
Iron Man Call it, Captain.
Captain America Alright, listen up. Until we can close that portal, our priority is 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, {{w|Legolas}}.
[Flies Barton to the indicated rooftop]
Captain America Thor, you gotta try and bottleneck that portal. Slow em down. You got the lightning. Light the bastards up. You and me, we stay here on the ground, keep the fighting here. And Hulk?
[Thor flies off on {{w|Mjölnir}}. Captain America continues speaking to Widow.]
Captain America Smash.
[Points to Chitauri]
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'.

Trust in their return
Hill Sir, how does it work now? They've gone their separate ways, some– pretty extremely far. We get into a situation like this again, what happens then?
Fury They'll come back.
Hill You really sure about that?
Fury I am.
Hill Why?
Fury Because we'll need them to.
Conflict Over Control and Responsibility
Malick This is out of line, Director. You're dealing with forces you can't ].
[[control]
Fury You ever been in a war, Councilman? In a firefight? Did you feel an overabundance of control?
Malick You're saying that this Asgard is declaring war on our planet?
Fury Not Asgard. Loki.
Hawley He can't be working alone. What about the other one? His brother?
Fury Our intelligence says Thor is not a hostile. But he's worlds away. We can't depend on him to help, either. It's up to us.
Malick Which is why you should be focusing on Phase 2. It was designed for exactly this.
Fury Phase 2 isn't ready. Our enemy is. We need a response team.
Malick The Avengers Initiative was shut down.
Fury This isn't about the Avengers.
Malick We've seen the list. You run the world's greatest covert security network and you're gonna leave the fate of the ] race to a handful of freaks?
[[human]
Fury I'm not leaving anything to anyone. We need a response team. These people may be isolated, unbalanced even, but I believe with the right push, they can be exactly what we need.
Hawley You believe?
Malick War isn't won by ], Director.
[[sentiment]
Fury No. It's won by soldiers.
Communication Breakdown Among The Avengers
J.A.R.V.I.S. Sir, the telephone. I'm afraid my protocols are being overridden.

Coulson Mr. Stark, we need to talk.
[Over the phone]
Tony You have reached the Life-Model Decoy of Tony Stark. Please leave a message.
[Picks up the phone]
Coulson This is urgent.
[Over the phone]
Tony Then leave it urgently. Security breach. That's on you.
[The elevator nearby opens, and Coulson is in it; To Pepper]
Coulson Mr. Stark?
Pepper Phil! Come in.
Tony Phil"?
Coulson I can't stay.
Tony Uh, his first name is "Agent".
Pepper Come in, we're celebrating.
Tony Which is why he can't stay.
Coulson We need you to look this over, as soon as possible.
[hands a laptop to Tony]
Tony I don't like being handed things–
Pepper That's fine, cause I love to be handed things, so let's trade. Thank you.
[takes the laptop from Coulson's hand while giving him her champagne glass; she then gives the laptop to Tony while taking his glass]
Tony Official consulting hours are between 8 and 5, every other Thursday...
Coulson This isn't a consultation.
Pepper Is this about the Avengers? ...Which I know nothing about?
[Coulson looks at her]
Tony The Avengers Initiative was scrapped, I thought. And I didn't even qualify.
Pepper I didn't know that either.
Tony Yeah, apparently I'm volatile, self-obsessed, and don't play well with others.
Pepper That, I did know.
Confrontation Over the Tesseract's Power

Discussion on the Avengers and the Tesseract
Malick Where are the Avengers?
Fury I'm not currently tracking their whereabouts. I'd say they've earned a leave of absence.
Hawley And the Tesseract?
Fury The Tesseract is where it belongs. Out of our reach.
Malick That's not your call, Director.
Fury I didn't make it. I just didn't argue with the god that did.
Malick So you've let him take it, and the war criminal Loki, who should be answering for his ]?
[[Crime|crimes]
Fury ]
[[Thor: The Dark World|Oh, I think he will be.]
Hawley I don't think you understand what you've started, letting the Avengers loose on this world. They're dangerous.
Fury They sure are. And the world knows it. Every world knows it.
Malick Was that the point of all this? A statement?
Fury A promise.
Power Struggle Between Loki and Hulk
Loki ENOUGH! You are, all of you, beneath me! I am a ], you dull creature, and I will not be bullied by–

Hulk PUNY ].
[[God|GOD]
The Constant Anger of Doctor Banner
Captain America Doctor Banner. Now might be a really good time for you to get angry.
Banner That's my secret, Cap. I'm always angry.
[transforms into Hulk]
Confrontation Among Heroes Over Loki's Threat
Captain America Now, I don't know what you plan on doing here.
Thor I've come here to put an end to Loki's schemes!
Captain America Then prove it. Put that hammer down.
Iron Man Uh, yeah, no. Bad call! He loves his ha--
[Thor throws him across the forest with a single swing]
Thor You want me to put the hammer down?!
[enraged]
Captain America Are we done here?

[a bit smug]
Coulson's Cards: A Strategic Decision
Maria Hill Sir... those cards-- They were in Coulson's locker. Not in his jacket.
Fury They needed the push.
Conflict Over Belongings and Misunderstandings
Thor Do not touch me AGAIN.
Iron Man Then don't take my stuff!
Thor You have no idea what you are dealing with.
Iron Man Uh.... Shakespeare in the Park? Doth Mother know you wear-eth her drapes?
Thor This is beyond you, metal man. Loki will face Asgardian justice!
Iron Man He gives up the Cube, he's all yours! Until then? Stay outta the way. ].
[His mask comes down; Under his breath; [Tourism|Tourist]
Iron Man Okay.
Unity Amidst Chaos
Thor Look at this! Look around you! You think this madness will end with your rule?!
Loki It's too late. It's too late to stop it.
[tries to look away]
Thor No. We can. Together.
Loki Sentiment...
Debating Reality Amidst Chaos
Captain America Stark, you seeing this?
Iron Man Seeing. Still working on believing.
Strategizing a Dangerous Plan
Captain America OK, the relays are intact! What's our next move?
[over comms]
Iron Man 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.
Captain America Well, if that thing gets up to speed, you'll get shredded.
Iron Man Then stay in the control unit, it can reverse polarity long enough to dis-engage mag-lev and that should--
Captain America Speak English.
Chaos and Control Among Heroes
Thor You speak of control, yet you court chaos.
Banner That's his MO, 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.
Fury You need to step away.
Tony Why shouldn't the man let off a little steam?
Rogers You know damn well why! Back off!
Tony I'm startin to want you to make me.
Rogers Yeah. Big man in a suit of armor. Take that off, what are you?
Tony ], ], playboy, ].
[casually; [Genius; [billionaire; [Philanthropy|philanthropist; Natasha shrugs condescendingly, but concedes Stark's point]
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 I think I'd just cut the wire.
Rogers Always a way out. You know, you may not be a threat, but you'd better stop pretending to be a hero.
Tony A hero? Like you? You're a lab experiment, Rogers. Everything special about you came out of a bottle.
Rogers Put on the suit. Let's go a few rounds.
[Enraged]
Loki Requests a Drink Amidst Chaos
Loki If it's all the same to you– I'll have that drink now.
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.
[Teleporting to the front of a fleeing crowd; The crowd flees the other way; Loki teleports in that direction; Slams the staff on the ground, releasing a thunderous shockwave that scares the crowd into submission]
Old German Man Not to men like you.
[Stands up]
Loki There are no men like me.
[With a smug smirk]
Old German Man There are always men like you.
Loki Look to your elder, people. Let him be an example.
[fires a blast from his scepter at the old man, only to have Captain America jump in and deflect it back with his shield, knocking Loki down]
Captain America Ya know, the last time I was in ] and saw ] standing above everybody else, we ended up disagreeing.
[[Germany; [w:Red Skull|a man]
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.
[[w:Game of Thrones|throne]
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 Deploy! Deploy!
Tony And there's one other person you pissed off! His name was Phil.
[Loki raises his Scepter, but Tony quickly blasts him.]
Reflections on a Lost Relationship
Steve Was he married?
Tony No. There was a, uh... cellist. I think.
Steve I'm sorry. He seemed like a good man.
Tony He was an idiot.
Steve Why? For believing?
Tony For taking on Loki alone.
Steve He was doing his job.
Tony Ugh. He was out of his league! He should've waited! He should've...
Steve Sometimes there isn't a way out, Tony.
Tony Right. I've heard that before.
Steve Is this the first time you've lost a soldier?
Tony We are not soldiers. I'm not marching to Fury's fife.
Steve Neither am I; he's got the same blood on his hands as Loki does. But right, now, we've gotta put that behind us and get this done.
