Thor: The Dark World Quotes

[first lines]

Odin: [narrating] 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.

Thor: I need your help. And I wish I could trust you...

Loki: If you did, you'd be the fool I always took you for.

[council of war]

Heimdall: We need to find a way out of Asgard, to the Dark World. There are paths between the realms known only to a few...

Thor: Known only to ONE, actually.

[from trailer]

Thor: I will find a way to save us all...

[a megalith appears to fight Thor]

Sif: All yours...

Thor: [walks up to the monster] Hello

[Monster roars]

Thor: I accept your surrender.

[Crowd howls with laughter. Thor smashes up the monster]

Thor: Anyone else?

[the Marauders all surrender]

Fandral: Perhaps next time you should start with the big one!

Jane Foster: I saw you with the Avengers in New York!

Thor: I was defending the Earth!

Jane Foster: Is that your excuse?

Thor: Yes!

[pause]

Jane Foster: It's not terrible...

[from trailer]

Thor: Every 5000 years the worlds align, allowing an ancient darkness to strike...

[from trailer]

Darcy Lewis: Look at you. Still all muscly and everything!

Thor: ...Thank you.

Odin: She does not belong here in Asgard any more than a goat belongs at a banquet table!

Jane Foster: Did he just...?

[outraged]

Jane Foster: Who do you think you are?

Odin: I am Odin. King of Asgard. Protector of the Nine Realms.

Jane Foster: [chastened] Oh. Well I'm...

Odin: I know very well who you are, Jane Foster.

Jane Foster: [to Thor] You told your dad about me?

[Thor arrives in Vanaheim to help Sif]

Sif: I've got this completely under control!

Thor: Is that why everything's on fire?

[the elves awaken]

Malekith: The Aether awakens us. The convergence returns.

[Thor and Loki commandeer a Harrow]

Loki: Look, why don't you let me take over? I'm clearly the better pilot!

Thor: Is that right? Out of the two of us, which one can ACTUALLY fly?

[the Harrow takes out a building]

Thor: Not a word...

Loki: [about Odin] He is not my father!

Frigga: So I am not your mother?

[pause]

Loki: You are not.

Frigga: Please, don't make things worse...

Loki: Define worse.

[last lines]

The Collector: [after acquiring one of the Infinity Gems] One down. Five to go.

Darcy Lewis: Why are you smiling?

Dr. Erik Selvig: There is nothing more reassuring than realizing that the world is crazier than you are.

Thor: [about Frigga] 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!

[pins Loki]

Thor: [lets go of Loki] She wouldn't want us to fight.

Loki: Well, she wouldn't exactly be shocked.

Thor: [smiles] I wish I could trust you.

Loki: [whispers] Trust my rage.

Loki: Malekith! I am Loki of Jotunheim, and I have brought you a gift!

[throws Jane to the ground]

Loki: I only ask for one thing in return; a good seat from which to watch Asgard burn!

Loki: Did she suffer?

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?

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?

Loki: [tries to steer the boat into a tiny crevice in the mountain wall] If it were easy, everyone would do it.

Thor: Are you mad?

Loki: Possibly.

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 am for the axe, then, for mercy's sake, just... swing it!

Loki: This is so unlike you, brother. So... clandestine. Are you sure you wouldn't rather punch your way out?

Thor: If you keep talking, I might.

Dr. Erik Selvig: Any questions?

Old guy in the ward: Yeah. Can I have my shoe back?

Dr. Erik Selvig: Your brother isn't coming, is he?

Thor: Loki is dead.

Dr. Erik Selvig: Thank God... I'm so sorry.

Loki: [aboard a Dark Elf ship] I thought you said you knew how to fly this thing.

Thor: [looking at the controls, clearly lost] I said 'how hard could it be.'

Einherjar: Shall we destroy the Aether, sire?

Bor: If only we could, but its power is too great. Seal it away, so that no one can ever find it.

Thor: How is she?

Heimdall: She's quite clever, your mortal. She doesn't know it yet, but she studies the Convergence as well. Even...

[Stops short]

Thor: What?

Heimdall: I can't see her

Hogun: Where do we go next?

Thor: Hogan, the peace is nearly won across the Nine Realms. You should stay here. Be with your people, where your heart is. Asgard can wait.

Hogun: You have my thanks.

Thor: As you have mine.

Odin: Despite all I have survived, my Queen still worries over me.

Frigga: It's only because I still worry over you that you have survived,

Loki: [looks at Jane] What I could do with the power flowing through those veins...

Thor: It would consume you.

Loki: [on Jane] Say goodbye.

Thor: Not this day!

Loki: This day, the next, a hundred years, it's nothing! It's a heartbeat. You'll never be ready. The only woman whose love you prized will be snatched from you.

Thor: And will that satisfy you?

Loki: Satisfaction's not in my nature!

Thor: Surrender's not in mine!

Malekith: You think you can stop this? The Aether can not be destroyed!

Thor: But YOU can!

[strikes Malekith with Mjolnir]

[last lines]

Odin: One son who wanted the throne too much, and other who will not take it. Is this my legacy?

Thor: Loki died with honour. I shall try to live the same. Is that not legacy enough?

[offers the hammer]

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

Thor: I shall try to be.

Odin: I can not give you my blessing, nor can I wish you good fortune.

Thor: I know.

[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.

Thor: Thank you, Father.

[leaves]

Loki: [appears from Odin's guise] No... thank you.

Loki: And what of Thor? You'll make that witless oaf king while I rot in chains?

Odin: Thor has to strive to undo the damage you have done. He will bring order to the Nine Realms and then, yes... he will be king.

Malekith: [to Jane] You have taken something, child.

[discovers Jane is an illusion]

Malekith: WITCH! Where is the Aether?

Frigga: I will never tell you.

Malekith: I believe you.

[Algrim stabs her]

Thor: Let me take Jane away from here. Malekith is sure to follow, capture her and draw out the Aether from her. But in doing so, he will be vulnerable, and then I can defeat him!

Odin: Malekith is sure to return, we have what we wants. And when he does, we will defeat him.

Thor: We can not fight an enemy we can not locate! Malekith could be right over us now, and we'd never know! How many Asgardian lives must we sacrifice?

Odin: AS MANY AS IS NEEDED! Till the last Asgardian falls, till the last drop of blood is shed!

Thor: What makes you so different from Malekith, then?

Odin: [mirthless laugh] The difference, my son, is that I will WIN.

Loki: [turns Thor into Sif] Mmm, brother, you look ravishing!

Thor: It will hurt no less when I kill you in this form.

Loki: Very well. Perhaps you prefer one of your new companions, given that you seem to like them so much.

[turns into Captain America]

Loki: Oh, this is much better. Costume's a bit much... so tight. But the confidence, I can feel the righteousness surging. Hey, you wanna have a rousing discussion about truth,honor, patriotism? God bless America...

[Thor destroys a statue of Bor]

Loki: Well done, you just decapitated your grandfather!

Loki: [holds up his shackles] You still don't trust me?

Thor: Would you?

[releases Loki]

Loki: ...No, I wouldn't!

[stabs Thor]

Thor: I will tell Father you died with honour.

Loki: I didn't do it for him.

Einherjar Lieutenant: [reporting to Odin] There's no sign of Thor or the Aether. However, we found a body...

[Odin turns and looks at the guard]

Odin: Loki...

[During credits]

[Sif and Volstagg are guided by a red alien]

Carina: I present to you, Taneleer Tivan, the Collector.

[Sif and Volstagg meet Taneleer Tivan]

The Collector: Asgardians, it's an honor...

Sif: You know why we're here.

[hands the Aether over to the Collector]

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 is not wise 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.

[Sif and Volstagg leave]

The Collector: One down, five to go...

Jane Foster: It's all my fault. If I hadn't found the Aether, your mother and brother would still be alive...

Thor: But if you hadn't come across it, Malekith would have found it quicker.

Heimdall: The universe hasn't seen this marvel since before my watch began. Few can sense it, even fewer can see it. But while its effects can be dangerous, it is truly beautiful.

Thor: I see nothing.

Heimdall: Or, perhaps that is not the beauty you seek.

Thor: [arrives at the prison breakout] Return to your cells, and no harm will come to you! You have my word!

[gets struck]

Thor: Very well, you do not have my word.

[attacks]

[the Einherjar bring Jane a meal]

Jane Foster: I'm not hungry.

Sif: [knocks down the guards] Good! Come with me!

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 and everyone will see it! It's brilliant Thor! It's truly brillian...

[Thor hurls Loki out of the ship, and jumps out with Jane in his arms... into a skiff piloted by Fandral]

Fandral: [laughing] I see your time in the dungeon has made you no less graceful, Loki!

Loki: You lied to me! I'm impressed.

Malekith: [sadly looking around the ruins of Svartalfheim] Look upon my legacy, Algrim. I can barely remember a time before the light.

Algrim: Our survival will be your legacy.

Malekith: The Asgardians will suffer as we have suffered. I will reclaim the Aether. I will restore our world. And I will put an end to this poisoned universe.

Sif: Betray him and I'll kill you.

Loki: It's good to see you too, Sif.

Volstagg: If you even THINK about betraying him...

Loki: You'll kill me? Evidently there will be a line.

Thor: Who's Richard?

Jane Foster: ...Really?

Jane Foster: [Darcy and Ian appear through a portal while kissing] Darcy!

Darcy Lewis: [She drops Ian] Jane!

Dr. Erik Selvig: Ian!

Ian Boothby: Selvig!

Darcy Lewis: Mew-mew!

[Mjölnir zooms by]

Loki: [mockingly comes to attention before Odin and laughs] I really don't see what all the fuss is about.

Odin: Do you not truly feel the gravity of your crimes? Wherever you go there is war, ruin and death!

Loki: 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.

Loki: I am a fool...

Thor: Stay with me. Stay with me!

[settles down in a tavern]

Heimdall: What use is a guard who cannot spot the enemy?

Volstagg: [hurls a flagon] Another!

[Thor laughs at his friend's impersonation]

Loki: You can at least furnish me with a weapon. My dagger, something!

[Thor puts something in Loki's hands...]

Loki: At last, a little common sense.

[Thor handcuffs him]

Thor: [grins] And I thought you liked tricks.

Dr. Erik Selvig: We can't get close to Malekith!

Thor: I can!

[heads towards Malekith with Selvig's devices]

Loki: Thor! After all this time now you come to visit me! Why? Have you come to gloat? To mock?

Thor: Loki, enough! No more illusions.

[illusion fades, everything in sight is broken, Loki is sitting on the ground looking devastated]

Loki: Now you see me, brother!

Darcy Lewis: I am not getting stabbed in the name of science.

[to unseen others]

Darcy Lewis: It's OK we're Americans!...

Jane Foster: Is that supposed to make them like us?

[Thor flies the Harrow, but is off to a rocky start and destroys a lot of columns in the building]

Loki: I think you missed a column.

Jane Foster: [Jane's phone rings on Svartalheim with a rap song coming from it and Jane looks confusedly at Thor]

Thor: It's not me.

Dr. Erik Selvig: This has happened before, thousands of years ago, and the Ancients were there to see it. All the great constructions, the Mayans, the Chinese, the Egyptians. They made use of the gravitational effects of the Convergence. And they left us a map.

[draws a few lines across it]

Dr. Erik Selvig: Stonehenge, Snowdon, the Great Orme. These are all coordinates taking us... here.

Ian Boothby: Greenwich?

Jane Foster: The walls between worlds will be almost non-existent. Physics is gonna go ballistic. Increases and decreases in gravity, spatial extrusions. The very fabric of reality is gonna be torn apart.

[Thor summons Mjolnir from it's place on the coat-hanger, ready to go at once]

Dr. Erik Selvig: I better get my pants.

Darcy Lewis: Focus! This is important. We have to hammer them in all around the site, and then Jane and Erik will activate them from the tower.

Ian Boothby: [struggling with one of Jane's devices] They're taped together!

Darcy Lewis: [mockingly] Do you even know what these things do?

Ian Boothby: No.

Darcy Lewis: Neither do I.

Jane Foster: That's a quantum field generator isn't it?

Eir: It's a soul forge.

Jane Foster: Does a soul forge transfer molecular energy from one place to another?

Eir: [surprised] Yes.

Jane Foster: [to Thor, quietly pleased] Quantum field generator.

Volstagg: Escorting these scoundrels is beneath us.

Fandral: Nonsense, my rotund friend. If they were beneath you, they would all be dead!

Frigga: Loki!

Loki: Hello Mother. Have I made you proud?

Frigga: Please. Don't make this worse.

Loki: Define worse.

Thor: Jane, I don't know where you were or what happend but I do know this.

Jane Foster: What?

Thor: I know...

Jane Foster: You do?

Thor: Do what?

Jane Foster: What?
