Hank Williams

He's going to have a real dad, not like it was for me.

Hank Williams

He's going to have a real dad, not like it was for me.

Hank Williams

I can try!

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.

Tony Stark	We have a Hulk.

Loki	What have I to fear?

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.

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...
