The Avengers Negative Ratings

Natasha Romanoff: Doctor, we're facing a potential global catastrophe.

Bruce Banner: Well, THOSE I actively try to avoid.

Natasha Romanoff: This is the Tesseract.

[she shows him a photo of the Tesseract on her cell phone]

Natasha Romanoff: It has the potential energy to wipe out the planet.

Bruce Banner: What does Fury want me to do? Swallow it?

Natasha Romanoff: Well, he wants you to find it. It's been taken. It omits a gamma signature that's too weak for us to trace. There's no one that knows gamma radiation like you do. If there was, that's where I'd be.

Bruce Banner: So Fury isn't after the monster?

Natasha Romanoff: Not that he's told me.

Bruce Banner: And he tells you everything?

Natasha Romanoff: Talk to Fury, he needs you on this.

Bruce Banner: He needs me in a cage?

Natasha Romanoff: No one's gonna put you in a...

Bruce Banner: STOP LYING TO ME!

[cringing back, Natasha quickly grabs her gun and points it at Banner]

Bruce Banner: I'm sorry, that was mean. I just wanted to see what you'd do. Why don't we do this the easy way, where you don't use that, and the other guy doesn't make a mess? Okay?

[Natasha, still wary, doesn't lower her gun]

Bruce Banner: Natasha?

Natasha Romanoff: [she lowers her gun and speaks into her earpiece to the SHIELD agents who are surrounding the building outside] Stand down. We're good here.

Bruce Banner: [Banner looks at Natasha in amusement] Just you and me?

Loki: Kneel before me. I said, KNEEL!

[Loki stamps his scepter on the ground, causing a shockwave that intimidates the crowd into silence as they all kneel 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.

German Old Man: [slowly rises to his feet] Not to men like you.

Loki: [smiling] There are no men like me.

German Old Man: There are *always* men like you.

Loki: Look to your elder, people. Let him be an example.

[Loki aims a blast of power from his scepter at the old man when Captain America leaps in front of the intended target, deflecting the blast with his shield back at Loki, knocking him down]

Steve Rogers: You know, the last time I was in Germany and saw a man standing above everybody else, we ended up disagreeing.

Loki: The soldier. A man out of time.

Steve Rogers: I'm not the one who's out of time.
