Avengers: Infinity War

[radio transmission sound]
==== [Asgardian PA]: This is the Asgardian refugee vessel Statesman. We are under assault, I repeat, we are under assault - The engines are dead, life support failing. Requesting aid from any vessel within range…We are 22 jump points out of Asgard. Our crew is made up of Asgardian families. We have very few soldiers here. This is not a war craft. I repeat, this is not a war craft. ====

[Inside the ship, Ebony Maw walks among the bodies of dead Asgardians. He steps over them as he speaks with no mind, as if they were scattered pieces of dirty clothing on a bedroom floor.]
==== Ebony Maw: Hear me, and rejoice. You have had the privilege of being saved by the Great Titan. You may think this is suffering. No. It is salvation. Universal scales tip toward balance because of your sacrifice. Smile. For even in death, you have become Children of Thanos. ====

[Loki is seen with the Black Order. He watches Thanos.]
==== Thanos: [Looking out the large window we saw at the end of Thor: Ragnarok.] I know what it's like to lose. To feel so desperately that you're right... yet to fail, nonetheless. [grabs Thor.] It's frightening. Turns the legs to jelly. I ask you, to what end? Dread it, run from it, destiny arrives all the same. And now it's here. Or should I say I am. ==== (Thanos holds up his hand to reveal the Infinity Gauntlet, which already hosts the Power Stone.)

[Ebony Maw shuts Thor's mouth]
==== Ebony Maw: [Holding the Tesseract, on one knee] My humble personage… bows before your grandeur. No other being has ever had the might, nay the nobility, to wield not one, but two Infinity Stones. The universe lies within your grasp. ====

Thor: No… Loki…
==== [''Thor is released from his binds. He crawls over to Loki's body- which, unlike in the Dark World, has not returned to it's Jotun form- and lays his head down on Loki's chest, shedding tears for all that he has lost. The ship explodes. The Bifrost sends Hulk across space to Earth.''] ====

Pepper Potts: You should have shirts in your closet.
==== Tony Stark: Yeah. You know what there should be? No more surprises. We're gonna have a nice dinner tonight. Show off this Harry Winston. Right? And we should have no more surprises. Ever. I should promise you. ====

[Back at the Sanctum Sanctorum]
==== Wong: [Using magic to show the universe and five out of six Infinity Stones] From the dawn of the universe, there was nothing. Then, boom! The Big Bang sent six elemental crystals, hurdling across the virgin universe. These Infinity Stones each control an essential aspect of existence. ====

Doctor Strange: Protecting your reality, douchebag.
==== Bruce Banner: Okay guys, can we quick cable this discussion right now? The fact is that we have the stone. We know where it is. Vision is out there somewhere with the Mind Stone, and we have to find him now. ====

Bruce Banner: Tony, listen to me. Thor's gone. Thanos is coming. It doesn't matter who you're talking to or not.
==== ''[Tony hesitates, before pulling out the cellular phone Steve mailed him, muttering 'flip phone'. It seems as though he brings it everywhere, always ready to call his lost friend. Before clicking "Call", he pauses. He hears unusual sounds.]'' ====

Wong: I have him.
Bruce Banner: Damn it.

[Black Dwarf arrives to the park. Throwing his hammer at Bruce.]
Tony Stark: Hammer. [Pushing Bruce out of the way]

Tony Stark: He's from space. He came here to steal a necklace from a wizard.
==== ''[Wong and Doctor Strange are fighting against Maw. Maw lifts several bricks from the ground and turns them into sharp points. He sends them towards Wong and Strange. The two make portals and send them back towards Maw. Maw moves a car to protect himself, but one spike still hits his head, creating a cut. Wong is knocked back into rubble and a car, falling to the ground unconscious. Strange flies forward to fight Maw but is knocked back into a building, bricks trapping him]'' ====

Peter Parker: Mr. Stark? I'm being beamed up.
==== Tony Stark: Hang on, kid. ''[As Black Dwarf jumps towards Tony he is sent through a portal. Tony turns towards Wong, the one who made the portal}'' Wong, you're invited to my wedding. [Tony begins to fly towards the large ship] Give me a little juice, F.R.I.D.A.Y. [Tony's feet thrusters turn morph together into a larger one] Unlock 17-A. [a pod jettisons from Stark Towers] Pete, you gotta let go. I'm gonna catch you. ====

Peter Parker: That makes sense.
==== [''Peter passes out, free-falling, but not before the pod reaches him. It attaches itself to him, becoming the Iron Spider suit. Now being able to breathe, Peter lands on a bottom part of the ship, standing up heroically.]'' ====

Mantis: (Adjusting a few things on the ship) We are arriving.
==== Peter Quill: All right, Guardians. Don't forget, this might be dangerous, so let's put on our mean faces. (Looks back at Groot is playing a video game) Groot, put that thing away. Now. I don't wanna tell you again. Groot. ====

Rocket: Ever since you got your little sap, you're a total d-hole. Keep it up, and I'm gonna smash that thing to pieces!
==== (Groot rolls his eyes. As Rocket finishes what he is saying Thanos' carnage is revealed, revealing the distress signal to be the one from the Asgardian vessel at the beginning of the movie.[The Guardians find the Asgardians floating dead in space from the destruction by Thanos] ====

(Cut to later as the Guardians stand around Thor eating soup)
==== Gamora: The entire time I knew Thanos, he only ever had one goal: To bring balance to the Universe by wiping out half of all life. He used to kill people planet by planet, massacre by massacre- ====

Peter Quill: Oh, boy. Stepfather. Technically, she hates him as much as you do. (Thor softens a bit.)
==== Thor: Families can be tough. Look. Before my father died, he told me I had a half-sister...that he imprisoned in Hel. Then she returned home, and stabbed me in the eye, so... I had to kill her. It's life, isn't it, I guess. Goes round and round and... I feel your pain. ====

==== Peter Quill: And I feel your pain, as well. I mean it's not a competition, but I've been through a lot. My father killed my mother, then I had to kill my father. And that was hard. Probably even harder than having to kill a sister. Plus, I, came out of it with both of my eyes-" ====

Gamora: (To Thor) How do you know he's not going for one of the other Stones?
==== Thor: There's six stones out there. Thanos already has the Power Stone because he stole it last week, when he decimated Xandar. He stole the Space Stone from me when he destroyed my ship and slaughtered half my people. The Time and Mind Stones are safe on Earth. They're with the Avengers. ====

Mantis: Like Kevin Bacon?
==== Thor: ...He may be on the team. I don't know. Haven't been there in a while. As for the Soul Stone, well, no one's ever seen that. No one even knows where it is. Therefore, Thanos can't get it. Therefore, he's going to Knowhere. Hence, he'll be getting the Reality Stone. You're welcome. ====

Thor: All words are made up.
==== Rocket: Nidavellir is real? (Climbing on to the table) Seriously? I mean, that place is a legend. They make the most powerful, horrific weapons to ever torment the Universe. I would very much like to go there, please. ====

Thor: He already is.
==== Rocket: I got it figured out. We got two ships, and a large assortment of morons. So me and Groot will go with the pirate-angel here, and the morons will go to Knowhere to try and stop Thanos. Cool? Cool. ====

Wanda Maximoff: There are people who are expecting me too, you know. We both made promises.
==== Vision: Not to each other. Wanda… Two years, we've stolen these moments, trying to see if this could work. And... I don't know. You know what, I'm just gonna speak for myself. - I, I... I think... ====

Wand Maximoff: Vision!
==== (PROXIMA MIDNIGHT attacks Wanda from behind, and knocks her away. CORVUS GLAIVE pins Vision down using his weapon {a glaive} in an attempt to extract the mind stone from Vision's head. Wanda blasts both of them away, then propels Vision and herself into a nearby courtyard where they rest in an alleyway.) ====

CORVUS GLAIVE: (to VISION) Give up the Stone, and she lives.
==== (Vision flies with CORVUS to the roof of what appears to be a church. PROXIMA and Wanda are still fighting below. Vision shoots a beam from the mind stone at CORVUS, who uses his glaive to deflect it back at Vision, causing him to slam into the wall behind him.) ====

==== (Down below, Wanda hears a cry from Vision. Finally knocking PROXIMA away with her magic, Wanda then flies up to the roof where GLAIVE has pinned Vision and is again attempting to remove the mind stone. She casts a bolt of magic which throws him back through the wall and down a shaft.) ====

Wanda Maximoff: Hands off.
==== (Wanda then uses her magic to propel her and Vision away. Below, PROXIMA, who has recovered, shoots a bolt from her weapon, causing them to fall from the air and down through the roof of a train station beneath them. Wanda crawls over to Vision.) ====

Vision: I can't.
==== (Behind them, PROXIMA MIDNIGHT and CORVUS GLAIVE land and advance on Wanda who stands in front of Vision. A train passes behind Wanda, and they all pause as if aware of another's presence. As the last train car passes, we see a silhouette against the back wall. PROXIMA throws her weapon, but it is quickly caught just before the figure steps from the shadows.) ====

==== (We now recognize a bearded Captain America as he steps into the light. While they are distracted, Falcon {Sam Wilson} swoops in and kicks PROXIMA MIDNIGHT to the next room. Swooping around, he fires on CORVUS GLAIVE. At the same time, Captain America throws PROXIMA'S weapon to Black Widow who engages CORVUS, stabbing him in the gut and flinging him backwards. PROXIMA, who has now recovered, summons her weapon back to her hand and attacks Captain America and Black Widow simultaneously. While the three are fighting, Falcon flies in and again kicks PROXIMA backwards where she crouches down beside CORVUS.) ====

Steve Rogers: Home.
==== (Cut to the past, at GAMORA’S home planet during THANOS’ massacre. YOUNG GAMORA is separated from her mother.) ====

YOUNG GAMORA: Gamora
==== THANOS: You're quite the fighter, Gamora. Come. Let me help you. (THANOS takes her hand and leads her to a pavilion, where he produces a small red-jeweled dagger) Look. Pretty, isn't it? Perfectly balanced. As all things should be. Too much to one side, or the other… Here. You try. ====

(The group enters the COLLECTOR’s collection room, which is in ruin. THANOS is threatening the COLLECTOR while the GUARDIANS hide behind the rubble.)
==== THANOS: Everyone in the Galaxy knows you'd sell your own brother if you thought it would add the slightest trinket to your pathetic collection. I know you have the Reality Stone. Giving it to me will spare you a great deal of suffering. ====

(Suddenly, THANOS’ disembodied voice fills the room, and the scene disappears- everything is leveled, and THANOS is more than alive. He has the REALITY STONE in the INFINITY GAUNTLET.)
==== THANOS: Is it sadness I sense in you, daughter? In my heart, I knew you still cared. But one ever knows for sure. Reality is often disappointing. That is, it was. Now… Reality can be whatever I want. ====

ROSS: The world's on fire. And you think, all is forgiven?
==== ROGERS: I'm not looking for forgiveness. And I'm way past asking for permission. Earth just lost her best defender. So we're here to fight. And if you wanna stand in our way… We'll fight you, too. ====

Natasha: Well then, we have to protect it.
==== VISION: No, we have to destroy it. I've been giving a good deal of thought to this entity in my head, about its nature. But also, its composition. I think if it were exposed to a sufficiently powerful energy source, something, very similar to its own signature, perhaps… Its molecular integrity could fail. (VISION addresses WANDA as he nears her) ====

(Steve takes a breath, but before he has a chance to answer Bruce begins to speak)
==== BRUCE: Because you might have a choice. Your mind is made up of a complex construct of overlays. Jarvis, Ultron, Tony, me, the Stone. All of them mixed together. All of them learning from one another. ====

(Cut to Ebony Maw interrogating Doctor Strange
==== Ebony Maw: In all the time I've served Thanos, I've never failed him. If I were to reach our rendezvous on Titan with the Time Stone still attatched to your vaguely irritating person, there would be...judgement. Give me... the stone. ====

Peter Parker: I take that back. And now I'm here in space.
==== Tony: Yeah. Right where I don't want you to be. This isn't Coney Island. This isn't a field trip. It's one-way ticket. You hear me? Don't pretend like you thought this through. You could not have possibly thought this through. ====

Tony: You could not have possibly thought this through.
==== Peter Parker: It's just- You can't be a friendly neighborhood Spider - Man when there's no neighborhood. (Pause) Okay. That didn't really make any sense, but you know what I'm trying to say. ====

Tony: Yeah, but the kid's seen more movies.
==== (Tony fires a rocket from his shoulder which pierces the side of the ship and begins to suck everything out. Strange begins to be sucked out, but his cape wraps around his arm. Unfortunately, his arm slips from it and he keeps going. Spider-Man shoots a web strand at Strange with one hand and holds onto a piece of the ship with the other. It breaks, sending them both towards space when his Iron-Spider suit's metal arms brace him to keep him from being sucked out.) ====

Peter Parker: Yes! Wait what are those!
==== (He then pulls them back inside just as Tony sprays nanites onto the hole to plug it up. Peter and Strange safely hit the floor. Ebony Maw is seen floating in space, quite dead.Peter stands and tries to shake Strange's cape's "hand".) ====

Strange: Under no circumstance can we bring the Time Stone to Thanos. I don't think you quite understand what's at stake here.
==== Tony: No. It's you who doesn't understand. Thanos has been inside my head for six years...Since he sent an army to New York and now he's back! And I don't know what to do. So I'm not so sure if it's a better plan to fight him on out turf or his but you saw what they did, what he can do. At least on his turf, he's not expecting it. So I say we take the fight to him. Doctor. Do you concur? ====

==== Strange: (a pause) Alright, Stark. We go to him. But you have to understand....if it comes to saving you or the kid or the Time Stone... I will not hesitate to let either of you die. I can't, because the fate of the universe depends on it. ====

Tony: Good. Nice. Moral compass.We're straight. (Turning to Peter, he puts his outstretched arm briefly on either shoulder) Alright, kid. You're an Avenger now.
(Peter looks at Tony in disbelief, and then smiles and nods in satisfaction.)

Gamora: No. No. We were happy on my home planet.
==== Thanos: Going to bed hungry. scrounging for scraps. Your planet was on the brink of collapse. I'm the one who stopped that. Do you know what's happened since then? The children born have known nothing but full bellies and clear skies. It's a paradise. ====

Thanos: I am disappointed. But not because you didn't find it. But because you did. And you lied.
==== (Cut to shot of a large metal door opening. Thanos and Gamora stand there as a set of inner doors made of interlacing metal slide away. Inside, we see that NEBULA is suspended horizontally in the air in the middle of the room.) ====

Rocket: Better be some hammer.
==== Thor: You know, I'm 1,500 years old. I've killed twice as many enemies as that, and every one would have rather killed me, but none succeeded. I'm only alive because fate wants me alive. Thanos is the latest in a long line of *morons* and he will be the latest to feel my vengeance. ====

(Thor stands and seats himself at the front of the pod, beside Groot)
==== Rocket: I could lose a lot. Me personally. I could lose a lot. (Rocket takes an eyeball from somewhere on his person) Okay. If fate does want you to kill that crapsack... You're gonna need more than one stupid eyeball. (he gives Thor the eyeball) ====

Thor: Asgard is destroyed. Eitri, the glove. What did you do?
==== Eitri: (He pauses before beginning his solemn story) 300 dwarves lived on this ring. I thought if I did what he asked, they'd be safe. I made what he wanted. A device capable of harnessing the power of the stones. Then he killed everyone anyway. All except me. "Your life is yours." he said "But your hands are mine alone." ====

==== Thor: Eitri, this isn't about your hands. Every weapon you've designed, every axe, hammer sword...It's all inside your head. Now I know all hope feels lost. Trust me, I know. But together, you and I, we can kill Thanos. ====

==== (Cut to Nebula suspended in the interrogation room seen earlier, while a guard puts her back together. Nebula ejects her eyepiece; disposing of the guard when he comes to replace it. She walks to a console, dragging her dislocated metal foot behind her, and inputs a code.) ====

Peter Parker: (To Tony) Hey, what's going on?
==== Tony: I think we're here. I don't think this rig has a self-park function. (Instructing Peter to put his arm in the machine for piloting) Get your hand into this steering gimbal. Close those around it. You understand? ====

Peter Parker: Turn! Turn! Turn!
(Strange creates a shield around them to prevent them from being killed in the landing.)

Drax: (Struggling with the Cloak of Levitation) Die, blanket of death!
==== (Iron Man pulls free of the magnet. They pull weapons on each other. Star-Lord has Peter Parker in a head-lock, while Iron Man stands over Drax with a gun, and Doctor Strange stands ready near Mantis) ====

Quill: The *heck* happened to this planet? It's eight degrees off its axis. Gravitational pull is all over the place.
==== Tony: Yeah, we got one advantage. He's coming to us. We'll use it. All right, I have a plan. Or at least the beginnings of one. It's pretty simple. We draw him in, pin him down, get what we need. Definitely don't wanna dance with this guy. We just need the gauntlet. ====

Drax: (Quietly as he shifts to a commanding position beside Mantis) Yeah, that's right
(Tony stands for a moment with an expression of hopelessness) Alright, just get over her, please. Mr. Lord can you get your folks to circle up?

Quill: "Mr. Lord." Star-Lord is fine. (Motions to Drax and Mantis)

Tony: We gotta coalesce. 'Cause if all we come at him with is a plucky attitude.."

Quill: Dude, don't call us plucky. We don't know what is means. Alright, we're optimistic, yes. I like your plan. Except it sucks, so let me do the plans, and that way it might be really good.

Drax: Tell him about the dance-off to save the universe.

Tony: What dance-off?

Quill: It's nothing.

Peter Parker: Like in Footloose, the movie?

Quill: (Excitedly) Exactly like Footloose. Is it still the greatest movie in history?

Peter Parker: It never was.

(Quill frowns sadly at him)

Tony: Don't encourage this, alright?

Peter Parker: Okay.

Tony: We're getting no help from Flash Gordon here.

Quill: Flash Gordon? By the way, that's a compliment. Don't forget, I'm half human. (Quill points at Stark and Parker) So that 50% of me that's stupid... That's 100% you.

Tony: Your math is blowing my mind.

Mantis: Excuse me, but...Does your friend often do that?

(Strange is sitting cross-legged, his hands poise in a mystic gesture with the Time Stone suspended between them. His eyes are closed, and his head is jerking rapidly from side to side)

Tony: Strange, we alright?

(Strange seems to snap out of it as he starts forward, letting out a cry)

Tony: You're back. You're alright. Hi.

Peter Parker: Hey, what was that?

Strange: (Speaking breathlessly) I went forward in time to view alternate futures. To see all the possible outcomes of the coming conflict.

Quill: How did you see?

Strange:14, 000, 605

Tony: How many did we win?

(Strange pauses a while before answering)

Strange: One.

(Cut to Vormir, where Thanos and Gamora have just appeared outside a mountain)

Thanos: The stone had better be up there...For your sister's sake.

(Cut to inside the mountain where Thanos and Gamora stand before a cloaked, faceless figure there to guard the way)

Stonekeeper: Welcome, Thanos, son of Eros. Gamora, daughter of Thanos.

Thanos: You know us?

Stonekeeper: It is my curse to know all who journey here.

Thanos: Where's the Soul Stone?

Stonekeeper: You should know...It extracts a terrible price.

Thanos: I am prepared.

Stonekeeper: We all think that at first. (The figure glides farther out of the shadows and reveals the face of who we know to be Red Skull from Captain America:The First Avenger) We are all wrong.

(Cut to the Stonekeeper leading Thanos and Gamora to an outside pinnacle)

Thanos: How is it you know this place so well?

Stonekeeper: A lifetime ago, I, too, sought the stones. I even held one in my hand. But it cast me out, banished me here. Guiding others to a treasure I cannot possess.

(They come to the edge of mountaintop, and stop at the precipice)

Stonekeeper: What you seek lies before you. As does what you fear.

Thanos: What's this?

Stonekeeper: The price. Soul hold a special place among the Infinity Stones. You might say it has a certain wisdom.

Thanos: Tell me what it needs.

Stonekeeper: To ensure that whoever possesses it..Understands its power...The stone demands a sacrifice.

Thanos: Of what?

Stonekeeper: In order to take the stone you must lose that which you love. A soul...For a soul.

(Gamora begins to laugh at the irony of the situation)

Gamora: All my life, I dreamed of a day...A moment when you would get what you deserved. And I was always so disappointed. But now...You kill and torture...And you call it mercy. The universe has judged you. You asked it for a prize, and it told you no. You failed. And do you wanna know why? Because you love nothing. No one.

Thanos: (Turning to face Gamora with tears in his eyes) No.

Gamora: Really? Tears?

Stonekeeper: They're not for him.

(Gamora looks at the Stonekeeper, and seems to realize what is about to happen)

Gamora: No. This isn't love.

Thanos: I ignored my destiny once. I cannot do that again. Even for you. I'm sorry, little one.

(Thanos grabs Gamora by the arm and takes her to the precipice)

Gamora: No!

(She tries in vain to brake from his grasp but he soon throws her over the side, and watches sorrowfully as she falls to her death)

(Cut to Thanos lying in water. He opens his hand and sees that he now has the Soul Stone.)

(Cut to the Quinjet where Sam is piloting Rhodey, Steve, Natasha, Wanda, and Vision)

Sam: Drop to 2600, heading 0-3-0. I hope you're right about this, Cap. Or we're gonna land a lot faster than you want to.

(The Quinjet passes through a force field into Wakanda)

Okoye: (Walking with T'Challa and a band of the King's Guard) When you said we were going to open Wakanda to the rest of the world...This is not what I imagined.

T'Challa: And what did you imagine?

Okoye: The Olympics. Maybe even a Starbucks.

(The occupants of the Quinjet descend the ramp)

Bruce Banner: (To Rhodey) Should we bow?

Rhodes: Yeah, he's a king.

Steve: Seems like I'm always thanking you for something. (Shaking hands with T'Challa)

(Bruce bows in front of him)

Rhodes: What are you doing?

T'Challa: Uh, we don't do that here. (He dissuades with a motion of his hand) So how big of an assault can we expect?

(The group begins to walk back the way it come to greet the guests)

Bruce Banner: Uh, sir, I think you can expect quite a big assault.

Steve: How we looking?

T'Challa: You will have my King's Guard, the Border Tribe, the Dora Milaje, and...

Bucky: (Walking forward toward Steve) A semi-stable, 100-year-old man.

(The two friends shake hands)

Steve: How you been, Buck?

Bucky: Uh, not bad, for the end of the world.

(Cut to inside Shuri's lab where Vision lays on a table, while Bruce and Shuri stand over him, and the others watch. Shuri scans the stone, and studies the hologram)

Shuri: Whoa. The structure is polymorphic.

Bruce: Right, we had to attach each neuron non-sequentially.

Shuri: Why didn't you just reprogram the synapses to work collectively?

Bruce: (Staring for a moment) Because, we didn't think of it.

Shuri: I'm sure you did your best.

Wanda: Can you do it?

Shuri: Yes, but there are more than two trillion neurons here. One misalignment could cause a cascade of circuit failures. (To T'Challa) It will take time, brother.

Steve: How long?

Shuri: As long as you can give me.

Okoye: (Looking at a device that just alerted her) Something's entered the atmosphere.

(Cut to outside where Sam and Bucky stand, looking up a the sky)

Sam: (Over the comm) Hey, Cap, we got a situation here.

(The defense shield around Wakanda destroys one of the vessels entering the atmosphere)

Bucky: God, I love this place.

Sam: Yeah, don't start celebrating yet, guys. We got more incoming outside the dome.

Vision: (Appearing beside the window with the others) It's too late. We need to destroy the stone now.

Natasha: (Turning toward Vision) Vision, get your *rear* back on the table.

T'Challa: We will hold them off.

Steve: (To Wanda) Wanda, as soon as the stone's out of his head...you blow it to hell.

Wanda: I will.

T'Challa: Evacuate the city. Engage all defense procedures. (He points to Steve) And get this man a shield.

(Cut to Nivadellir where Rocket is in the pod, and Thor jumps from the roof onto the rings with a rope in his hand attached to the pod)

Rocket: I don't think you get the scientifics here. These rings are gigantic.You wanna get thm moving...You're gonna need something a lot bigger to yank 'em loose.

Thor: Leave that to me.

Rocket: Leave that to you? Buddy, you're in space. All you got is a rope and a-

(Thor begins to swing the pod around. He lets the pod drag him, until he stops himself by digging his feet into the ring, still holding the pod. The rings begin to move)

Thor: More power, rabbit!

(Finally the star bursts into life, the rings align, and a jet of light streams through the forge)

Eitri: Well done, boy.

(Thor, hanging on, looks through the pod window, at Rocket, an points to the star)

Thor: That's Nivadellir.

(The iris closes and the beam of light recedes back into the star)

Eitri: *Dang* it.

Rocket: "*Dang* it."? What's "*dang* it?

Eitri: The mechanism is crippled.

Thor: What?

Eitri: With the iris closed I can't heat the metal.

Thor: How long will it take to heat?

Eitri: A few minutes, maybe more. Why?

Thor: I'm gonna hold it open.

Eitri: That's suicide.

Thor: So is facing Thanos without that axe.

(Cut to the Wakandan battlefield. Their carriers hover over the ground with Wakandan soldier and Natasha, Steve and Bucky on board, and Bruce is in the Hulkbuster)

Natasha: How we looking, Bruce?

Bruce: (While walking) Yeah, I think I'm getting the hang of it. Wow! It's like being the Hulk without actually- (He stumbles on a rock, and a carrier goes by, from which Okoye gives him a dubious look. He stands) I'm okay. I'm okay.

Sam: We got two heat signatures breaking through the tree line.

(M'Baku of the Jubari rallies his soldiers with a war cry. He stops as T'Challa nears him)

T'Challa: Thank you for standing with us.

M'Baku: (Translated) Of course, brother.

(T'Challa, Steve, and Natasha walk to the edge of the barrier, where Proxima Midnight and Obsidian Cole stand)

Natasha: Where's your other friend?

Proxima: You will pay for his life with yours. Thanos will have that stone.

Steve: That's not gonna happen.

T'Challa: You are in Wakanda now. Thanos will have nothing but dust and blood.

Proxima: We...Have blood to spare. (She raises her right arm with a cry, and several large ships emerge from the forest behind her.)

(T'Challa, Steve, Natasha return to the front line)

Bucky: Did they surrender?

Steve: Not exactly.

(T'Challa leads the Wakandans in the war cry "Yibambe!" telling them to hold fast as the Outriders bound toward the barrier)

Bucky: What the *heck*?

Natasha: Looks like we *ticked* her off.

(T'Challa commands the soldiers to engage their shields)

Okoye: (Watching as the Outriders bombard the dome only a few getting through) They're killing themselves.

Sam: (Sending Redwings into the fight as he flies) You seen the teeth on those things?

Rhodes: Alright, back up, Sam. You're gonna get your wings singed. (He flies over a section that has been breached and drops a barrage of mines)

Sam: Cap, if these things circle the perimeter and get in behind us...There's nothing between them and Vision.

Steve: Them we better keep 'em in front of us.

Okoye: (To T'Challa) How do we do that?

T'Challa: We open the barrier. (Putting his hand to his ear) On my signal, open North-West Section Seventeen.

Wakandan Officer: Requesting confirmation, My King. You said open the barrier?

T'Challa: On my signal.

M'Baku: (To Okoye) This will be the end of Wakanda.

Okoye: Then it will be the noblest ending in history.

(The section of the barrier is opened)

T'Challa: Wakanda Forever! (He crosses his hands over his chest as his Black Panther helmet covers his face, leading the army as they run toward the barrier. T'Challa and Steve are at the front of the advancing army) Now! (The section in the barrier disappears and the Outriders charge at them)

T'Challa: How much longer, Shuri? (Over the comm)

Shuri: We've barely begun, brother.

T'Challa: You might want to pick up the pace.

(Cut to Thor on the rings of Nivadellir)

Thor: Allfathers, give me strength.

Eitri: You understand, boy? You're about to take the full force of a star. It'll kill you.

Thor: Only if I die.

Eitri: Yes. That's what killing you means.

(Thor grasps the handholds and pulls, slowly opening the iris. The stream of light returns and awakens the forge once more.)

Eitri: Hold it! Hold it, Thor!

(Eitri watches the metal melt, and tips the cauldron, pouring it into the mold. Thor passes out, and the jet carries him to the forge. Rocket follows him, in the pod, and Groot looks up from his game when Thor lands near him)

Rocket: (Kneeling over Thor) Thor! Say something. Come on. Thor, you okay? (To Eitri) I think he's dying.

Eitri: He needs the axe! Where's the handle? Tree, help me find the handle!

(Groot looks sadly at Thor, stands and grows a longer arm, weaving it around the axe and hammer, joining them,and then cutting his arm off at the usual length. Thor's hand opens slightly, and the hammer rises from the ground; lightening flickering from it)

(Cut to Wakanda where the Avengers and Wakandans are struggling against the Outriders. Suddenly, a large beam of light lands nearby, and the Avengers and Wakandans stop to look up as the axe flies through the air, electrocuting the Outriders. Thor, Rocket and Groot are revealed.)

Bruce: Hah! Hah! Hah! You guys are so screwed now!

Thor: Bring me Thanos! (He charges toward the hoards of Outriders, followed by Groot and Rocket)

(Cut to Titan, where Thanos appears in front of Doctor Strange, who appears to be the only one there)

Strange: Oh, you're much more of a Thanos.

Thanos: I take it the Maw is dead. This day extracts a heavy toll. Still, he accomplished his mission.

Strange: You may regret that. He brought you face-to-face with the Master of the Mystic Arts.

Thanos: And where do you think he brought you? (Star-Lord is near by behind wreckage with his weapon ready, and Spiderman is above the structure where Strange sits.

Strange: Let me guess. Your home?

Thanos: (Smiling reminiscently) It was. And it was beautiful. (Thanos uses the Reality Stone to show Strange Titan before it was destroyed) Titan was like most planets. Too many mouth, and not enough to go around. And when we faced extinction, I offered a solution.

Strange: Genocide.

Thanos: But at random, dispassionate, fair to rich and poor alike. They called me a madman. And what I predicted came to pass. (The illusion fades into the true state of Titan)

Strange: Congratulations. You're a prophet.

Thanos: I'm a survivor.

Strange: Who wants to murder trillions.

Thanos: With all six stones, I could simply snap my finger, and they would cease to exist. I call that...Mercy.

Strange: And then what?

Thanos: I finally rest...And watch the sun rise on a grateful universe. The hardest choices require the strongest wills.

Strange: I think you'll find our will (Using his hand motions) equal to yours.

Thanos: Ours? (He looks up in time to a see a chunk of wreckage coming down on him, and tries to use the Power to stop, but is too late)

Iron Man: (Flying in) Piece of cake, Quill.

Quill: (Flying in from the other side) Yeah, if your goal was to *tick* him off.

(The wreckage on top of Thanos erupts, the pieces glowing with purple. He shouts as he uses the Power Stone to force the pieces at Iron Man. Spiderman webs his eyes, and swings in the kick him in the face. Then Strange summons a blade, but Thanos stops it with his hand, and tears the web from his eyes. He advances on Strange, and kicks him just as Strange summons a shield, absorbing the force of his blow, but knocking him back. Star-Lord shoots Thanos from behind, and Thanos uses the Power Stone to shoot balls on energy at Star-Lord while he advances by the steps Strange formed in the air, and places a electric mine on his back. He turns to Quill, as he disengages his helmet, dives backward into a portal, flipping him off.)

Star-Lord: Boom!

(Thanos tries to use the Space Stone to pull Quill back)

Strange: (To the Cloak of Levitation) Do not let him close his fist.

(The Cloak closes around Thanos' fist, and the mine on his back goes off. Spiderman appears on his right from a portal)

Spiderman: Magic. (He kicks him in the head) More magic.

(He then leaps into another portal. As Thanos tries to recover, he appears through another portal behind him)

Spiderman: Magic with a kick! (He kicks him again in the head with his right leg)

(Finally, he appears on his right)

Spiderman: Magic with a-

(Before he can finish Thanos turns, grabbing him from the air, and throwing him to the ground, with his hand around his neck.)

Thanos: Insect! (He then throws him, about to use the gauntlet, but is interrupted by an explosion caused by Iron Man shooting a missile at him. As the flames blind Thanos, Spiderman attaches a web to him, and strains against it. Thanos pulls Spiderman toward him, but looks up as a ship crashes beside him, and Nebula jumps in front of him)

Thanos: Well, well.

Nebula: You should have killed me.

Thanos: It would've been a waste of parts.

(She runs at him, attacking him with her sword.)

Nebula: Where's Gamora?

He uses the Space Stone to case her aside, flailing. Strange forms energy ropes that grapple onto the gauntlet. Thanos tries to pull it free, as Star-Lord shoots a electric magnet onto the ground beside him, holding down his other hand. Spiderman swings in, and makes a string of web, holding him back, enabling his spider legs to anchor himself, as Strange opens a portal above Thanos out of which drops Mantis, who lands on his shoulders, her hands on his temples. He screams as she tries to put him under.)

Iron man: (While pulling on the gauntlet) Is he under? Don't let up.

Mantis: Be quick. He is very strong.

Iron Man: Parker, help! Get over here. (Parker withdraws his web, and hurries to help Tony with the gauntlet) She can't hold him much longer. Let's go. We gotta open his fingers to get it off.

Star-Lord: (Joining the others) I thought you'd be hard to catch. For the record, this was my plan. You're not so strong now, huh? Where is Gamora?

Thanos: (Mumbling) My Gamora.

Star-Lord: Oh, bull*crap*! Where is she?

Mantis: He is in anguish.

Star-Lord: Good.

Mantis: He...He mourns.

Star-Lord: What does this monster have to mourn?

Nebula: Gamora.

Star-Lord: What?

Nebula: He took her to Vormir. He came back with the Soul Stone... She didn't.

Iron Man: Okay, Quill, you gotta cool it, right now! You understand? Don't, don't. Don't engage. We almost got this off!

Star-Lord: Tell me she's lying. *Jerk*, tell me you didn't do it!

Thanos: I had to.

Star-Lord: No you didn't. No you didn't. No you didn't!

Iron Man: Quill!

(Quill uses his gun to pound Thanos in the face twice. Iron Man goes to hold him back, as Peter Parker is left to pull off the gauntlet)

Iron Man: (To the struggling Quill) Hey, stop! Hey, stop! Stop! Hey, stop! Stop!

Spiderman: It's coming! It's coming! I got it! I got it!

(Thanos wakes, butting Mantis from his shoulders, and grabbing the cuff of the gauntlet just as it is sliding off his hand, causing Parker to stumble back, and Mantis to go flying)

Spiderman: (Seeing Mantis flying) Oh, God. (He jumps and hugs her, extending his spider legs which give them a safe landing)

(Strange summons a weapon, and Thanos uses the Space Stone to throw him away. Then, Iron Man shoots at him, but Thanos bats him down, and uses the Space Stone to pull down the surface of a moon. Stark tries to fly away, but a large chunk pins him down)




 * Stonekeeper: Welcome, Thanos, son of Eros, Gamora, daughter of Thanos.
 * Thanos: You know us?
 * Stonekeeper: It is my curse to know all who journey here.
 * Thanos: Where is the Soul Stone?
 * Stonekeeper: You should know: it extracts a terrible price.
 * Thanos: I am prepared.
 * Stonekeeper: We all think that at first. [his face is revealed as the Red Skull] We are all wrong.
 * Thanos: How is it you know this place so well?


 * Red Skull: A lifetime ago, I too sought the stones. I even held one in my hand. But it cast me out, banished me here, guiding others to a treasure I cannot possess.


 * Gamora: I was a child when you took me.
 * Thanos: I saved you.
 * Gamora: No, no, we were happy on my home planet.
 * Thanos: Going to bed hungry, scrounging for scraps? Your planet was on the brink of collapse. I was the one who stopped that. You know what's happened since then? The children born have known nothing but full bellies and clear skies. It's a paradise.
 * Gamora: Because you murdered half the planet!
 * Thanos: A small price to pay for salvation.
 * Gamora: You're insane.
 * Thanos: Little one, it's a simple calculus. This universe is finite, its resources ... finite. If life is left unchecked, life will cease to exist. It needs correcting.
 * Gamora: You don't know that!
 * Thanos: I'm the only one who knows that. At least, I'm the only who the will to act on it.


 * Rocket: You speak Groot?!
 * Thor: Yes, they taught it on Asgard. It was an elective.
 * Groot: I am Groot?
 * Thor: You'll know when we're close. Nidavellir's forge harnesses the blazing power of a Neutron Star. It's the birthplace of my hammer; it's truly awesome.
 * Rocket: [to himself] Okay, time to be the Captain. [to Thor] So, dead Brother, huh? That can be annoying.
 * Thor: Well, he's been dead before. But this time... I think it really might be true.
 * Rocket: And you said that your sister and your Dad...
 * Thor: ... Both dead.
 * Rocket: But, still got a Mom, though?
 * Thor: Killed by a Dark Elf.
 * Rocket: Best friend?
 * Thor: Stabbed through the heart.
 * Rocket: You sure you're up for this particular murder mission?
 * Thor: Absolutely. The rage, vengeance, anger, loss, regret, they're all tremendous motivators. They truly clear the mind.. so, I'm good to go.
 * Rocket: Yeah, but this Thanos we're talking about, he's the toughest there is.
 * Thor: Well, he's never fought me.
 * Rocket: ... Yeah, he has!
 * Thor: Well, he's never fought me TWICE! And I'll have a new hammer, don't forget.
 * Rocket: Well, it'd better be some hammer.
 * Thor: You know, I'm 1,500 years old. I've killed twice as many enemies as that, and every one of them would have rather killed me, but none succeeded. I'm only alive because Fate wants we alive. Thanos is just the latest in a long line of bastards, and he'll be the latest to feel my vengeance. Fate wills it so.
 * Rocket: ... And what if you're wrong?
 * Thor: If I'm wrong, then ... what more could I lose?


 * Gamora: All my life I dreamed of a day, a moment, when you got what you deserved. And I was always so disappointed. But now you kill and torture and you call it mercy. The universe has judged you. You asked it for a prize and it told you no. You failed. And do you wanna know why? Because you love nothing! No one! [Thanos sheds a tear] Really? Tears?
 * Red Skull: They are not for him.
 * Gamora: No! This isn't love!
 * Thanos: I ignored my destiny once. I cannot do that again. Even for you. [Gamora tries to kill herself with the double-edged knife Thanos had given her, but it turns into bubbles] I'm sorry, Gamora.
 * Gamora: [realizes what Thanos is about to do] NOOOOOOOO!!
 * [Thanos drags Gamora from a cliff and throws her to death, which grants him the Soul Stone]


 * Banner: Who's Scott?
 * Steve Rogers: Ant-Man.
 * Banner: There's an Ant-Man and a Spider-Man?


 * Stark: [to the Guardians] We gotta work together. Because if all we come out with is a plucky attitude...
 * Quill: Dude, don't call us plucky. We don't know what it means. We're more optimistic, yes. I like your plan. Except...it sucks. So, let me do the plan and that way...it might be really good.
 * Drax: Tell him about the dance-off to save the universe.
 * Stark: What dance-off?
 * Quill: It's not a thing.
 * Parker: Like in Footloose? The movie?
 * Quill: Exactly like Footloose. Is it still the greatest movie in history?
 * Parker: It never was.
 * Stark: Don't encourage this alright we're not getting any help from Flash Gordan.
 * Quill: Flash Gordon? That's a compliment. Don't forget, I'm half human. So that 50% of me that's stupid, that's 100% you.


 * [Thanos emerges from a teleport on the ruined Titan]
 * Strange: Yeah, you're much more of a "Thanos".
 * Thanos: I take it that Maw is dead? This day extracts a heavy toll. Still, he accomplished his mission.
 * Strange: You may regret that. He brought you face to face with the master of the mystic arts.
 * Thanos: Where do you think he brought you?

 * Strange: Then what?
 * Thanos: I finally rest. Watch the sun rise on a grateful universe. The hardest choices require the strongest wills.
 * Strange: [summons his Mandalas] I think you'll find our wills equal to yours.
 * Thanos: Ours? [Stark crushes him with a pillar of wreckage]


 * Tony Stark: So this is it. It’s all been leading to this.

--- ---
 * Thor: Ready?
 * Steve Rogers: Let’s go.
 * Gamora: He won't stop. Until he destroys half the universe. Everything you know. Everything you love. It will all be gone.
 * Peter Quill: Let’s talk about this plan of yours. I think it’s good, except it sucks. So let me do the plan and that way it might be really good.
 * Tony Stark: Wow.


 * Thanos: The end is near. When I’m done, half of humanity will still exist. Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.


 * Thanos: [to Tony] I hope they remember you.

---
 * Peter Parker: I’m Peter, by the way.
 * Dr. Stephen Strange: Dr. Strange.
 * [they shake hands]
 * Peter Parker: Oh. We’re using our made-up names. Then I am Spider-Man.
 * Okoye: When you said you were going to open Wakanda to the rest of the world, this is not what I imagined.
 * T'Challa: What did you imagine?
 * Okoye: The Olympics, maybe even a Starbucks.


 * Iron Man: Give me a little juice, Friday.


 * Black Widow: Let's go.


 * [Thor appears with his new axe Stormbreaker, alongside Rocket and Groot]
 * Banner: [laughing with joy] Oh, you guys are so screwed now!
 * Thor: Bring me THANOS!

---
 * [Thor, Groot and Rocket charge into the battle for Wakanda]
 * [upon seeing Steve]
 * Thor: New haircut? I notice you’ve copied my beard. Oh, by the way, this is a friend of mine. A tree.
 * Groot: I am Groot.
 * Steve Rogers: I am Steve Rogers.


 * Black Panther: Thank you for standing with us, M'Baku.
 * M'baku: Of course, brother.


 * Black Panther: How much longer, Shuri?


 * Bruce Banner: [trying to change into the Hulk] Hulk. Hulk, I know you like making your entrance at the last second, well, this is it, man. This is the last last second. Hulk! HULK! [Hulk: NOOOO!] Oh, screw you, you big green asshole! I'll do it myself!


 * [to Thor as he’s tried to kill Thanos with a blow to the chest]
 * Thor:I told you, you'd die for that.
 * [Thanos wheezes and screams as thor pushes stormbreaker him]
 * Thanos: You should have gone for the head.
 * [Thanos weakly smiles, lifts his left hand and snaps his fingers]
 * Thor : No!


 * [Thanos, having gathered all the Infinity Stones, starts to wipe out half the population and turn everyone to ash]
 * Bucky Barnes: Steve? [he stumbles, collapses into ash]
 * T'Challa: [reaching for a fallen Okoye] Up, General, up! This is no place to die. [disintegrates into ash]
 * Groot: [weakly] I am Groot...
 * Rocket: [watches Groot disintegrating into ash; tearfully] No...no...no...Groot...no...
 * [Scarlet Witch is mourning over Vision. She turns into ash]
 * [An injured Falcon turns to ash, hidden in the brush]
 * War Machine: [searching for Falcon, missing him by only a few feet] Sam? Sam? Where you at?
 * [Back on Titan, a thunderstorm begins]
 * Mantis: Something is happening... [suddenly disintegrates into ash]
 * Drax: [to Quill; noticing his arm starting to disintegrate] Quill?
 * [Drax disintegrates to ash. Quill stares in terror]
 * Stark: Steady, Quill...
 * Quill: Oh, man... [disintegrates into ash]
 * Stark: [turns to Strange with tears in his eyes; realizing what's happening referring to Strange giving Thanos the Time Stone earlier in exchange for Stark's life]
 * Strange: [as Tony watches Strange being disintegrated] Tony, there was no other way. [turns to ash]
 * Parker: [feels himself starting to disintegrate] Mr. Stark, I don't feel so good...
 * Stark: [trying to be calm] You're alright...


 * [Peter starts disintegrating]
 * Parker: [stumbling] I don't- I don't know what's happening... [grabs onto Stark in desperation and fear, tearfully] I don't wanna go, I don't wanna go... I'm sorry...


 * [Tony watches as Peter gets disintegrated in Stark's arms]
 * Nebula: [witnessing Thanos with the Infinity Stones] He did it...
 * [Back on Earth, Steve along with Romanoff, Banner, Rhodey, Thor, Rocket, Okoye and M'Baku have survived]
 * Steve: Oh, God.


 * Nick Fury: Still no word from Stark?
 * Maria Hill: No, not yet. I’m watching every satellite on both hemispheres but still nothing.
 * [Hill receives three beeps from her device.]
 * Nick Fury: What is it?
 * Maria Hill: It’s multiple bogeys over Wakanda.
 * Nick Fury: Same energy signature as New York?
 * Maria Hill: 10 times bigger.
 * Nick Fury: Tell Klein we’ll meet him…


 * [suddenly a car crashes into them; Hill goes over to check on the driver of the car, but sees no one in there]
 * Maria Hill: Nick! Nick!
 * Nick Fury: They ok?
 * Maria Hill: There’s nobody here.


 * [suddenly a helicopter crashes into a building]
 * Nick Fury: Call Control. Code Red.
 * Maria Hill: Nick...


 * [Nick turns and see Hill disintegrate]
 * Nick Fury: Hill?


 * [Nick rushes off to their car, he gets a pager and as he starts to transmit a distress signal he starts to disintegrate]
 * Nick Fury: Oh no. Motherf-...

[as Nick disintegrates the pager falls to the ground, we see the device display a red-and-blue star insignia, Captain Marvel’s sign]
