Adam:

When you separate an entwined particle, and move both parts away from the other, even at opposite ends of the universe, if you alter or affect one, the other will be identically altered or affected. spooky.

Thor:	I'll tell Father what you did here today.
Loki:	I didn't do it for him.

Adam:

You drank Ian.

Eve:	Her name is Yasmine. She'll be famous one day.
Adam:	I hope not. She's too good to be famous.

Loki:	I have an army!
Tony Stark:	We have a Hulk.

Loki:	What have I to fear?
Tony Stark:	The Avengers. It's what we call ourselves. Sorta like a team. Earth's Mightiest Heroes type thing.
Loki:	Yes. I've met them
Tony Stark:	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, the demigod. A super soldier, living legend who kinda lives up to the legend. A man with breathtaking anger management issues. A couple of master assassins and YOU, big fella, you've managed to piss off every single one of them.
Loki:	That was the plan.
Tony Stark:	Not a great plan.

Thor:	I wish I could trust you.
Loki:	Trust my rage.

Thor:	If you betray me, I will kill you.
Sif:	If you betray him, I will kill you.
Volstagg:	If you betray him...
Loki:	You'll kill me? Evidently there will be a line.

Loki:

You've lied to me, I'm impressed!

Thor:	Mother wouldn't want us to fight
Thor:	Mother wouldn't want us to fight.
Loki:	Well she would hardly be surprised
Loki:	Well she would hardly be surprised.

Loki:	He's not my father!
Frigga:	Then am I not your mother?

Loki:	Why don't you let me fly it?
Thor:	Out of the two of us, who here can actually fly?

Loki:

If it were easy, everyone would do it.

Thor:	We are just like the humans. We are born, we live, we die.
Loki:	Give or take 5,000 years.

Jane Foster:	(Slaps Loki) That's for New York
Jane Foster:	That's for New York.
Loki:	(Smiles) I like her
Loki:	I like her
Loki:	I like her.

Loki:	(Being an illusion and looking like Captain America) Let's have a delightful chat about patriotism, and justice, and freedom! God bless America!
Loki:	Let's have a delightful chat about patriotism, and justice, and freedom! God bless America!

Loki:	[About to start the fight] You still don't trust me?
Loki:	You still don't trust me?
Thor:	Would you? [Unlocks handcuffs anyway]
Thor:	Would you?
Loki:	No I wouldn't. [Stabs Thor in the stomach]
Loki:	No I wouldn't.

Loki:	Satisfaction is not in my nature.
Thor:	Surrender is not in mine
Thor:	Surrender is not in mine.

Volstagg:	If you betray him--
Loki:	You'll kill me? Yes, apparently there is a line.

Loki:

Tada!

Loki:	Well Thor, Don't you look ravishing.
Thor:	It will hurt no less when I kill you.

Thor:	What help were you in your cell?
Loki:	Who put me there? Who put me there?

Loki:

Ta-da!

Loki:

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to destroy Jotunheim.

Loki:

I am Loki, of Jotunheim.

Loki:	Now they're firing at us!
Thor:	Yes, thank you for the commentary, Loki. It isn't at all distracting.

Loki:	Oh, dear. Is she dead?
Jane Foster:	I'm fine.

Loki:	"Oh dear is she dead?"
Loki:	Oh dear. Is she dead?

Loki:

Well done. You just decapitated your grandfather.

Loki:	"Well done, you just decapitated your grandfather."
Loki:	Well done, you just decapitated your grandfather.

Loki:	"What makes you think you can trust me?"
Loki:	What makes you think you can trust me?
Thor:	"I don't."
Thor:	I don't.

Loki:	I think you missed a colum
Loki:	I think you missed a column.
Thor:	Shut up!

Loki:	Freedom....Life's biggest lie.
Loki:	Freedom. Life's biggest lie.

Loki:	You must be truly desperate to come to me for help.
Thor:	You should know that when you betray me, I will kill you.
Loki:	When do we start?

Thor:	Hand over the tesseract!
Loki:	I missed you too, brother.
Thor:	Do I seem to be in a gaming mood?

Loki:	I have an army
Tony Stark:	We have a Hulk

Loki:	Kneel before me. I said, KNEEL! [Everyone becomes quiet and kneels before him]
Loki:	Kneel before me. I said, KNEEL! [everyone becomes quiet and kneels before him]
Loki:	Is not this simpler? Is this not your natural state? It's 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.

Nick Fury:	We have no quarrel with your people.
Loki:	An ant has no quarrel with a boot!
Nick Fury:	You planning to step on us?

Thor:	Why have you done this?
Loki:	To prove to father that I am a worthy son. When he awakes, I will have saved his life, and destroyed that race of monsters.
Thor:	You can't kill an entire race!
Loki:	Why not? (laughs) And what is this newfound love for the frost giants? You could've killed them all with your bare hands.
Loki:	Why not? [laughs] And what is this newfound love for the frost giants? You could've killed them all with your bare hands.
Thor:	I've changed.
Loki:	So have I.

Agent Phil Coulson:	You're gonna lose.
Loki:	Am I?
Agent Phil Coulson:	It's in your nature.
Loki:	Your heroes are scattered, your floating fortress falls from the sky... where is my disadvantage?
Agent Phil Coulson:	You lack conviction.
Loki:	I don't think I...
Agent Phil Coulson:	[shoots Loki] So that's what it does...

Steve Rogers/Captain America:	You know, the last time I was in Germany and saw a man standing above eveyrybody else, we ended up disagreeing.
Loki:	The soldier. A man out of time.
Steve Rogers/Captain America:	I'm not the one who's out of time.

Loki:	What disadvantage do I have?
Agent Phil Coulson:	You lack conviction.

Loki:

In the end, you will always kneel.

Loki:	I never wanted the throne! I only ever wanted to be your equal!
Thor:	I will not fight you, brother!
Loki:	I'm not your brother. I never was.
Thor:	Loki, this is madness!
Loki:	Is it madness? Is it? Is it?! And what was it on earth that turned you so soft? Don't tell me it was that woman! Oh, it was. Well, maybe when we're finished here, I'll pay her a visit myself!

Nick Fury:	We have no quarrel with your people.
Loki:	And an ant has no quarrel with a boot.
Nick Fury:	You planning to step on us?

Loki:	What is it you want?
Black Widow:	It's really not that complicated. I've got red in my ledger, I'd like to wipe it out.
Loki:	Can you? Can you wipe out that much red? (...) Your ledger is dripping, it's gushing red, and you think saving a man no more virtuous than yourself will change anything? This is the basest sentimentality. This is a child at prayer... Pathetic! You lie and kill in the service of liars and killers. You pretend to be separate, to have your own code, something that makes up for the horrors. But they are a part of you, and they will never go away.

Thor:	(Thor crashes Loki into the ground)"Where's the Tesseract?!?!"
Thor:	[Thor crashes Loki into the ground] Where's the Tesseract?
Loki:	(Loki laying on his back laughing) "Oh, I've missed you, too."
Loki:	[Loki laying on his back laughing] Oh, I've missed you, too.

Loki:

I said kneel! Is not this simpler? Is this not your natural state? It's 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.

Loki:	How will your friends have time fighting me... [raises staff] When they are fighting you? [taps Tony Stark's arc reactor with his staff, and nothing happens] [taps it again] This usually works...
Tony Stark:	Performance issues, huh?

Tony Stark/Iron Man:	The Avengers. It's what we call ourselves, sort of like a team. 'Earth's Mightiest Heroes' type of thing.
Loki:	Yes, I've met them.
Tony Stark/Iron Man:	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, the demi-God; a super soldier, a living legend who kind of lives up to the legend; a man with breath-taking anger management issues; a couple of master assassins, and you, big fella, you've managed to piss off every single one of them.
Loki:	That was the plan.
Tony Stark/Iron Man:	Not a great plan. When they come, and they will, they'll come for you.

Loki:	Please tell me you're going to appeal to my humanity.
Tony Stark/Iron Man:	Uh...actually, I'm planning to threaten you.
Loki:	You should have left your armor on for that.
Tony Stark/Iron Man:	Yeah, it's seen a bit of mileage. You've got the blue stick of destiny. Would you like a drink?
Loki:	Stalling me won't change anything.
Tony Stark/Iron Man:	No, no, no! Threatening. No drink? You sure? I'm having one.
Loki:	The Chitauri are coming, nothing will change that. What have I to fear?

Loki:	I come with glad tidings, of a world made free.
Nick Fury:	Free from what?
Loki:	Freedom. Freedom is life's great lie. Once you accept that, in your heart... You will know peace.

Loki:	How will your friends have time for me...when they're too busy fighting you? taps Tony Stark's chest where his blue glowing thing is nothing happens taps his chest again This usually works...
Tony Stark:	Performance issues, huh?

Loki:	I come with glad tidings, of a world made free.
Nick Fury:	Free from what?
Loki:	Freedom. Freedom is life's great lie. Once you accept that, in your heart... You will know peace.

Loki:	I come with glad tidings, of a world made free.
Nick Fury:	Free from what?
Loki:	Freedom. Freedom is life's great lie. Once you accept that, in your heart... [he turns to face Selvig who's standing behind him and places his spear against Selvig's heart]
Loki:	You will know peace. [he uses his abilities to control Selvig's mind]

Nick Fury:	We have no quarrel with your people.
Loki:	An ant has no quarrel with a boot.

Loki:	[to crowd] Kneel before me. I said... KNEEL! Is not this simpler? Is this not your natural state? It's 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.
German Old Man:	[Stands] Not to men like you.
Loki:	There are no men like me.
German Old Man:	There are always men like you.

Loki:

In the end, it will be every man for himself.

Loki:

It's the unspoken truth of humanity that you crave subjugation.

Loki:

Can you? Can you wipe out that much red? Drakov's daughter, Tugenov, the hospital fire? Yes, Barton told me everything. Your ledger is dripping, it's gushing red, and you think saving a man no more virtuous than yourself will change anything? This is the basest sentimentality. This is a child at prayer... PATHETIC! You lie and kill in the service of liars and killers. You pretend to be separate, to have your own code, something that makes up for the horrors. But they are a part of you, and they will never go away!... No, I won't touch Barton. Not until I make him kill you! Slowly, intimately, in every way he knows you fear! And when he wakes, he'll have just enough time to see the work he's done, and when he screams, I'll break his skull! This is my bargain, you mewling quim!

Loki:	(To Iron Man) If you want to threaten me, you should have left your suit on.
Loki:	[to Iron Man] If you want to threaten me, you should have left your suit on.

Steve Rogers/Captain America:	What's the matter, scared of a little lightning?
Loki:	I'm not overly fond of what follows...

Thor:	Brother, listen to me. [Gets pushed away by Iron Man]
Thor:	Brother, listen to me. [gets pushed away by Iron Man]
Loki:	I'm listening..

Loki:	I am a god! You can not defeat me!!
Loki:	I am a god! You can not defeat me!
Loki:	I am a god, you dull creature, and I shall not be...
Bruce Banner/The Hulk:	(smashes Loki)
Bruce Banner/The Hulk:	[smashes Loki]

Loki:	What have I to fear?
Tony Stark/Iron Man:	The Avengers. It's what we call ourselves, sort of like a team. "Earth's Mighiest Heroes" type thing.
Tony Stark/Iron Man:	The Avengers. It's what we call ourselves, sort of like a team. 'Earth's Mighiest Heroes' type thing.
Loki:	Yes, I've met them.
Tony Stark/Iron Man:	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 the demi-god; a super soldier, a living legend who kind of lives up to the legend; a man with breath-taking anger management issues; a couple of master assassins, and YOU, big fella, you've managed to piss off every single one of them.

Loki:	I am a god! I will NOT be bullied by a--- [gets cut off]
Bruce Banner/The Hulk:	[starts slamming him around as if he were nothing]
Bruce Banner/The Hulk:	[starts slamming him around as if he were nothing] Puny god.

Thor:	Brother, listen to me... (gets blown away by Iron Man)
Thor:	Brother, listen to me... [gets blown away by Iron Man]
Loki:	I'm listening.

German Old Man:	I do not kneel to men like you.
Loki:	There are no men like me.
German Old Man:	There will always be men like you.

Nick Fury:	We have no quarrel with your people.
Loki:	An ant has no quarrel with a boot.
Nick Fury:	You planning to step on us?

Loki:	Freedom is life's great lie. Once you accept that, in your heart, you will know peace.
Nick Fury:	You say peace. I kind of think you mean the other thing.

Loki:	There's not many people who can sneak up on me.
Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow:	But you figured I'd come.
Loki:	After. After whatever tortures Fury can concoct, you would appear as a friend, as a balm. And I would cooperate.
Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow:	I wanna know what you've done to Agent Barton.
Loki:	I'd say I've expanded his mind.
Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow:	And once you've won, once you're king of the mountain, what happens to his mind?
Loki:	Is this love, Agent Romanoff?
Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow:	Love is for children. I owe him a debt.
Loki:	Tell me.
Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow:	Before I worked for SHIELD, I uh...well, I made a name for myself. I have a very specific skillset. I didn't care who I used it for, or on. I got on SHIELD's radar in a bad way. Agent Barton was sent to kill me, he made a different call.
Loki:	And what will you do if I vow to spare him?
Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow:	Not let you out-
Loki:	(Interrupting) Ah, no. But I like this. Your world in the balance, and you bargain for one man?
Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow:	Regime's fall everyday. I tend not to weep over that, I'm Russian. Or I was.
Loki:	And what are you now?
Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow:	It's really not that complicated. I've got red in my ledger, I'd like to wipe it out.
Loki:	Can you? Can you wipe out that much red? Drakoff's daughter? Sao Paulo? The hospital fire? Barton told me everything. Your ledger is dripping, it's gushing red, and you think saving a man no more virtuous than yourself will change anything? This is the basest sentimentality. This is a child at prayer. Pathetic! You lie and kill in the service of liars and killers. You pretend to be separate, to have your own code, something that makes up for the horrors. But they are a part of you, and they will never go away.
Loki:	(Slams fist against the glass) I won't barter Barton! Not until I make him kill you. Slowly, intimately, in every way he knows you fear. And then he'll wake just long enough to see his good work, and when he screams I'll split his skull! This is my bargain, you mewling quim!
Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow:	You're a monster.
Loki:	Oh, no. You brought the monster.
Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow:	So, Banner? That's your play?
Loki:	What?
Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow:	(Talks into earpiece) Loki means to unleash the Hulk. Keep Banner in the lab, I'm on my way. Set the door locked. (Turns to Loki) Thank you, for your cooperation.

Tony Stark/Iron Man:	We're all fighting against you.
Loki:	No, they won't have time to pay attention to me. They'll be too busy fighting you.

Loki:

There are no men like me.

Loki:	How desperate are you, that you call on such lost creatures to defend you?
Nick Fury:	You threaten my world with war. You have made me very desperate. You might not be glad that you did.

Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow:	You're a monster!
Loki:	No, it is you who brought the monster.

Loki:

This cage, I think, was not designed to hold me.

Loki:	Ahh.. Is this Love?
Loki:	Is this love, Agent Romanoff?
Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow:	No.. Love is for children, I owe him (Hawk Eye) a debt.
Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow:	Love is for children. I owe him a debt.

Loki:

Kneel before me. I said… KNEEL! Is not this simpler? Is this not your natural state? It’s 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.

Loki:

You have heart.

Loki:

This usually works.

Loki:

An ant has no quarrel with a boot.

Loki:

They believe that we are gods. Let's see if they're right!

Loki:

I am Loki of Asgard and I am burdened with glorious purpose.

Loki:

If it's all the same to you, I'll take that drink now....

Loki:	I am a King!
Thor:	Not here! You give up the Tesseract! You give up this poisonous dream! You come home.
Loki:	I don't have it... You need the cube to bring me home, but I've sent it off. I know not where.
Thor:	You listen well, brother- [Stark slams into Thor and takes him off]
Thor:	You listen well, brother. [Stark slams into Thor and takes him off]
Loki:	I'm listening.

Thor:	I thought you were dead.
Loki:	Did you mourn?
Thor:	We all did.

Loki:

I will not be bullied!

Loki:	Enough! You are all of you beneath me. I am a god you dull creature, and I will not be bullied by--
Loki:	ENOUGH! You are, all of you, beneath me. I am a god you dull creature, and I will not be bullied by...

Loki:

I'm listening...
