Thor

Thor:
Oh, no… this is Earth, isn't it?

Darcy:
[staring at Thor] You know, for a crazy homeless person… he's pretty cut.

Thor:
[to Jane Foster] The answers you seek shall be yours, once I claim what is mine.

Thor:
For the first time in my life, I have no idea what I'm supposed to do…

Frigga:
The line of succession falls to you. Asgard is yours.

[Loki wields the Gungnir spear]

Agent Phil Coulson:
[interrogative] It's not easy to do what you did. You made my men – some of the most highly trained professionals in the world – look like a bunch of minimum-wage mall cops. In my experience, it takes someone who's received similar training to do what you did to them. Why don't you tell me where you received that training? Afghanistan, Chechnya? No, you strike me more as the soldier of fortune type. Who are you?

[looks at Thor]

Odin:
I have sacrificed much to achieve peace. So too must a new generation sacrifice to maintain that peace. Responsibility! Duty! Honour! These are not mere virtues to which we must aspire! They are essential to every soldier, to every king!

Odin:
Thor, Odin's Son, through your arrogance and stupidity, you have opened these peaceful realms and innocent lives to the horror and devastation of war…

Odin:
You are a vain, greedy, cruel boy.

Thor:
And you are an old man, and a fool!

Odin:
Yes… I was a fool to think you were ready.

Loki:

Father…

Odin:

[to Loki] NAY!

Odin:
You are unworthy of your title, and I'll take from you your power! In the name of my father, and his father before him, I cast you out!

Jane Foster:
Describe exactly what happened to you last night.

Thor:
Your ancestors called it magic…

[Thor skims through a book on Norse mythology]

Thor:
…but you call it science. I come from a land where they are one and the same.

[Thor approaches Mjolnir]

Odin:
Whoever wields this hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor.

Loki:
I am now ruler of Asgard. I am… your king.

Sif:
Asgard is in danger!

Agent Cale:
[staring at a moving suit of armour] Is that one of Stark's?

Agent Phil Coulson:
I don't know. That guy never tells me anything…

[takes a megaphone]

Agent Phil Coulson:
Hello! You are in possession of unauthorized weapons technology. Identify yourself.

[the Destroyer attacks]

Thor:
I will end this…

Jane Foster:
Who are you?

Thor:
You'll know soon enough!

Jane Foster:
[to Thor] God, I hope you're not crazy…

Jane Foster:
[at hospital reception] He says his name is Thor…

Thor:
[taking coffee for the first time] This drink… I like it! More!

[smashes the cup]

Darcy:
You're going on Facebook!

Darcy:
[to Thor] How can you eat ten boxes of Pop Tarts and still be this hungry?

Thor:
I have no plans to die today..

Thor:
[to Jane] I will return.

Thor:
These people are innocent. You cannot sacrifice an entire race!

Loki:
Then die with them.

[Incensed about Thor and the Warriors Three's mission to Jötunheim, Odin brings them back to Asgard]

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? [Speaking to Heimdall about one of the Warriors Three who was injured in the fight] Get him to a healing room! Now!

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:
[Getting frustrated] 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!

Odin:
[Suddenly shouting] YOU ARE A VAIN, GREEDY, CRUEL BOY!!!

Thor:
[Just as loud] AND YOU ARE AN OLD MAN AND A FOOL!!!

Odin:
[Hesitantly, obviously hurt] Yes. I was a fool... to think you were ready.

Loki:
Father...

Odin:
[To Loki] HEY! [To Thor] 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 WAR! You are unworthy of these realms! You're 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!!! [Banishes Thor to Earth] Whosoever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor. [Throws Mjolnir to Earth]

Thor:
You, What realm is this? Alfheim, Nornheim?

Darcy Lewis:
New Mexico?

Thor:
You dare threaten me? Thor, with so puny a...

[Darcy tasers Thor, Jane Foster and Erik Selvig look at her]

Lewis:
What? He was freaking me out!

[Thor and Jane are on the roof sitting next to a fire; Thor sees Jane suddenly go quiet]

Thor:
What's wrong?

Jane:
S.H.I.E.L.D. Whatever they are, they're gonna do everything in their power to make sure this research never sees the light of day.

Thor:
No, Jane. Listen to me. You must not give up. You must finish what you've started.

Jane:
Why?

Thor:
Because you're right. Here, look. [Opens her notebook] Your ancestors called it magic and you call it science. Well, I come from a place where they're one and the same thing. [Thor is connecting the circles in her notebook]

Jane:
What is that?

Thor:
My father explained it to me like this, that your world is one of the Nine Realms of the Cosmos, linked to each other by the branches of Yggdrasil, the World Tree. Now you see it everyday without realizing. The images glimpsed through…what did you call it? This Hooble Telescope.

Jane:
Hubble.

Thor:
Hubble Telescope.

Jane:
Tell me more.

Thor:
So, the Nine Realms. [Points to circles] Now, there is Midgard, which is Earth. This is Alfheim. Vanaheim. Jötunheim. And Asgard. And that's where I come from.

[A S.H.I.E.L.D. patrol notices a massive robotic figure near town]

Agent Jasper Sitwell:
[Staring at the Destroyer] Is that one of Stark's?

Agent Phil Coulson:
I don't know. The guy never tells me anything.

[Thor approaches the Destroyer]

Thor:
Brother, whatever I have done to wrong you, whatever I have done to lead you to do this, I am truly sorry. But these people are innocent. Taking their lives will gain you nothing. So take mine and end this.

[The Destroyer deactivates for a moment but then lashes at Thor, throwing him back and severely injuring him]

Jane:
No! [Runs for Thor]

Thor:
It's over.

Jane:
No. It's not over.

Thor:
I mean, you're safe.

Jane:
We're safe.

Thor:
It's over. [Thor dies]

Jane:
No…no…

[Jane begins to cry and the Destroyer stomps away; Thor's sacrifice proves him worthy again, and Mjolnir returns to revive him in an impressive display of electricity]

Jane:
Oh. My. God.

[Jane approaches Thor after his revival]

Jane:
So is this how you normally look?

Thor:
More or less.

Jane:
[Impressed] It's a good look!

[Loki sees Thor try to destroy the Bifrost Bridge]

Loki:
What are you doing? IF YOU DESTROY THE BRIDGE, YOU'LL NEVER SEE HER AGAIN! [Gets up and tries to prevent Thor from destroying the Bridge]

Thor:
Forgive me, Jane.

[Loki tries to stab him with Gungnir but he manages to destroy the Bifrost Bridge and save Jotunheim; the ensuing explosion sends them both flying in the air only to be caught by Odin before they fall over the Bridge]

Loki:
I could have done it, Father! I could have done it! For you! For all of us!

Odin:
No, Loki.

Thor:
Loki, no! [Loki lets go and falls into space] NO!

Odin:
No.

Jane:
[Sees anomaly disappear on telescope] It's gone.

Odin:
You'll be a wise king.

Thor:
There will never be a wiser king than you... nor a better father. [Long pause] I have... much to learn. I know that, now. Someday, perhaps,... I shall make you proud.

Odin:
You've already made me proud.

[Thor approaches Heimdall who still remains Gatekeeper even with the Bifrost destroyed]

Thor:
So Earth is lost to us...

Heimdall:
No. There is always hope.

Thor:
Can you see her?

Heimdall:
Yes.

Thor:
How is she?

Heimdall:
[Sees Jane fiddling at lab] She searches for you.

[Post-credits scene:
Dr. Selvig wanders around an underground base]

Nick Fury:
[Greeting him] Dr. Selvig.

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 cube]

Selvig:
What is it?

Fury:
Power, Doctor. If we figure out how to tap it, maybe unlimited power.

Loki:
[Appears, invisible, in a mirror and whispers to Selvig] Well, I guess that's worth a look.

Selvig:
Well, I guess that's worth a look. [Smiles]

Erik Selvig :
I'm talking about science, not magic.

Jane Foster :
Well, "magic's just science we don't understand yet." Arthur C. Clarke.

Erik Selvig :
Who wrote science-fiction.

Jane Foster :
A precursor to science fact!

Odin:
Once, mankind accepted a simple truth: that they were not alone in this universe. Some worlds man believed home to their Gods. Others they knew to fear. From a realm of cold and darkness came the Frost Giants, threatening to plunge the mortal world into a new ice age. But humanity would not face this threat alone. Our armies drove the Frost Giants back into the heart of their own world. The cost was great. In the end, their king fell, and the source of their power was taken from them. With the last great war ended, we withdrew from the other worlds and returned home at the Realm Eternal, Asgard. And here we remain as the beacon of hope, shining out across the stars. And though we have fallen into man's myths and legends, it was Asgard and its warriors that brought peace to the universe.
