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?

It belongs to you, if you are worthy of it.

[''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.

Confrontation Over the Aether's Location
Frigga
Stand down, creature, and you may still survive this.

Frigga
Who are you?
Malekith
I am Malekith... and I would have what is mine. You have taken something, child. Give it back. WITCH! Where is the Aether?!
[Looks at Jane; They both draw swords and duel, until Algrim arrives and helps overpower Frigga. Malekith turns to confront Jane; Malekith discovers Jane is an illusion and angrily faces a grinning Frigga]

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.

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 the Fate of the Universe

But you can.

Loki's Playful Reflection on Confidence and Patriotism

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!
[Laughs]
Loki
You lied to me. I'm impressed.
[To Thor]

The Endurance of Darkness Before Creation
Odin
Some believe that before the universe, there was nothing. They're wrong. There was darkness…and it has survived.

The Rise and Fall of the Dark Elves
Odin
Long before the birth of light, there was darkness...and from that darkness came the Dark Elves. Millennia ago, the most ruthless of their kind, Malekith, sought to transform our universe back into one of eternal night. Such evil was possible through the power of the Aether, an ancient force of infinite destruction. The noble armies of Asgard, led by my father King Bor, waged a mighty war against these creatures. As the Nine Worlds converged above him, Malekith could at last unleash the Aether...but Asgard ripped the weapon from his grasp; without it, the Dark Elves fell. With the battle all but lost, Malekith sacrificed his own people in a desperate attempt to lay waste to Asgard's army. Malekith was vanquished and the Aether was no more. Or so we were led to believe.

A Meeting with The Collector
Carina
I present to you Taneleer Tivan. The Collector.
The Collector
Asgardians! It's an honor.
Sif
You know why we're here.
[She hands him the Aether, which he accepts]
The Collector
Of course. But if I may ask, why not keep it secure, in your own vault?
Volstagg
The Tesseract is already on Asgard. It would be unwise to keep two Infinity Stones so close together.
The Collector
That's very wise. I can assure you, it will be absolutely safe here in my collection.
Sif
See that it is.
The Collector

A Moment of Reunion and Concern
Thor
Jane?
Jane
Sorry. I just…needed to make sure you were real. It's been a very strange day.
Thor
I am. Jane—
Jane
Where were you?!
Thor
Where were you? Heimdall could not see you.
Jane
I was right here where you left me! I was waiting, and then I was crying, and then I went out looking for you. You said you were coming back.
Thor
I know. I know, but the Bifröst was destroyed. The Nine Realms erupted into chaos. Wars were raging, marauders were pillaging…I had to put an end to the slaughter.
Jane
As excuses go, it's not…terrible…But I saw you on TV! ]
[[The Avengers (2012 film)|You were in New York!]
Thor
Jane, I fought to protect you from the dangers of my world, but I was wrong. I was a fool. But I believe that fate brought us together.

Loki's Betrayal and Desire for Destruction
Loki
You really think I cared about Frigga?! Or any of you?! All I ever wanted was you and Odin dead at my feet! MALEKITH! I am Loki of Jotunheim, and I bring you a gift! I ask only one thing in return...a good seat from which to watch Asgard burn.

[[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 Clash of Fates and Destruction

Odin Asserts His Authority Over Jane

She does not belong in Asgard any more than a goat belongs at a banquet!

Jane
Oh. Well I'm-

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?
