[The screen first panels up to an arrow being nocked into a bow.

The archer behind firmly grips it tight as it was aiming towards

the target. The camera reveals Clint Barton holding up a few
arrows while mentoring his daughter, Lila Barton, on shooting
one.]
CLINT BARTON: Okay, hold on. Don't shoot. You see where
you're going?
LILA BARTON: Mhm.
CLINT BARTON: Okay, now let's worry about how you get
there. [Clint corrects his daughter's foot to the proper position,
and adjusts her shooting stance.]
CLINT BARTON: Here. Can you see?
LILA BARTON: Yeah.
CLINT BARTON: You sure?
LILA BARTON: Mhm. [Clint pushes Lila's hair in front of her face
while covering her left eye.]
CLINT BARTON: How about now?
[Both Lila and Clint giggle, as the camera panels into a long shot
showing a target nailed on a tree, and the rest of Barton family
having a picnic in the field.]
CLINT BARTON: Alright. Ready your fingers.
COOPER BARTON: Nice.
LAURA BARTON: Nice throw, kiddo.
COOPER BARTON: You go.
LAURA BARTON: Hey, you guys want mayo or mustard, or
both? [Camera switches to Lila who then proceeds to look at
Clint.]
LILA BARTON: Who wants mayo on a hotdog?
CLINT BARTON: Probably your brothers.
[Clint looks at his wife, Laura]
CLINT BARTON: Uh, two mustard, please! Thanks,
mama. [Camera switches to Laura facing Nathaniel]
LAURA BARTON: Mayo or mustard?
NATHANIEL BARTON: How about ketchup?
LAURA BARTON: Ketchup? [Camera switches back to Clint and
his daughter]
CLINT BARTON: Mind your elbow. [Lila releases the arrow and it
hits the target directly in the bullseye.] Hahaha! Good job,
Hawkeye. Go get your arrow.
LAURA BARTON: Hey guys! Enough practice, soup's on!
CLINT BARTON: Alright, we're coming; we're hungry. [Clint looks
behind him, but there's no one there, but dust being blown away
by the wind.] Lila, let's go. [Clint starts to look
around] Lila? [Clint starts to move and look around, and pick up
the bow she had.] Honey? [Clint looks around to see Laura and
the boys, only they are gone now. He looks seriously panicked
and confused as he hurriedly drops the arrows and jogs over to
where they were.] Hey, babe! Babe? Babe? Boys? Boys? Laura?
[Lightning crackles]
[SOMEWHERE IN SPACE]
[Opening sequence begins with Dear Mr. Fantasy playing]
[Scene switches to Nebula and Tony on the ship playing paper
football]
NEBULA: Wrra! [Nebula, frustrated, puts her hands in a fighting
stance while looking at Tony.]
TONY STARK: You don't need to do that. Because uh... you're
just holding position. [Nebula flicks a paper football towards
Tony] Oh yeah, that was close. [Nebula once again flicks a paper
football towards Tony] That's a goal. We're now one apiece.
NEBULA: I would like to try again. [Nebula flicks a paper football
towards Tony]
TONY STARK: We tied up. Feel the tension? It's fun.
[Tony poorly flicks a paper football towards Nebula]
TONY STARK: That was terrible. Now you have a chance to
win. [Nebula flicks the paper football towards Tony]
TONY STARK: And... you've won. Congratulations. [Tony reaches
his hand out to shake Nebula's hand]
TONY STARK: Fair game. Good sport. [Nebula shakes Tony's
hand] Have fun?
NEBULA: It was fun.
[Camera switches to see Iron Man's busted helmet. Tony Stark's
hand reaches forward to turn on the helmet. We pan out to see
that he's sitting on the floor of a gloomy Benatar. The weight of
the recent events of INFINITY WAR evident in Tony's posture. He
taps the helmet with a sigh.]
TONY STARK: This thing on? [The helmet scans Tony. Tony
leans against the wall while taking deep breaths. He looks
skinnier and weak with malnutrition.] Hey, Miss Potts... Pep. If
you find this recording, don't post it on social media. It's gonna
be a real tear-jerker. I don't know if you're ever going to see
these. I don't even know if you're... if you're still... Oh god, I hope
so. Today is day 21, uh 22. [Cut to Tony standing at a window to
stare out in space, waiting for his impending doom to arrive.] You
know, if it wasn't for the existential terror of staring into a void of
space, I'd say I'm feeling better today. The infection's run its
course, Thanks to the blue meanie back there. [Cut to a shot of
Nebula sitting in the back of the Benatar.] You'd love her. Very
practical. Only a tiny bit sadistic. Some fuel cells were cracked
during battle, but we figured out a way to reverse the ion charge
to buy ourselves about 48 hours of time. [A shot of Tony and
Nebula working on the fuel cells of the Benatar.] But it's now
dead in the water. We're 1000 light years from the nearest 7-11.
Oxygen will run out tomorrow. And that'll be it. And Pep, I ... I
know I said no more surprises, but I was really hoping to pull off
one last one. But it looks like... well you know what it looks like.
Don't feel bad about this. I mean, if you grovel for a couple of
weeks, and then move on with enormous guilt. I should probably
lie down. Please know that... when I drift off, I will think about
you. Because it's always you.
[With that, Tony turns the helmet off. He rubs his thumb over the
left eye, and then leans down, to what would be his last sleep.
Nebula walks over to him, and carries him to Drax's seat, and lies
him there. She walks away dejected.]
[A vast bluish nebula illuminates the space surrounding them.
Cut to a shot of Tony's face, which for the first time shows age
and weakness. There is a light on his face, which grows brighter
and brighter until he's forced to open his eyes. The camera pans
around to the light source, which is slowly revealed to be CAROL
DANVERS.]
[A bathroom in the Avengers compound. We see Steve Rogers
holding a blade, having just shaved off his beard. He sighs and
looks into a side mirror. The mirror suddenly starts shaking,
slowly at first, and then severely. Cut to the yard in the Avengers
Compound, we see Steve Rogers, Natasha Romanoff, Bruce
Banner, and James Rhodes walking out looking at something,
the Benatar carried by Carol Danvers as she lands the
spacecraft. The landing gears deploy as they touch down. The
entry hatch opens, and Tony and Nebula walk out, Tony being
supported by Nebula. Steve runs to Tony to help him stand up.
Tony grips Steve's arm as he joins him.]
TONY STARK: Couldn't stop him.
STEVE ROGERS: Neither could I.
TONY STARK: I lost the kid.
STEVE ROGERS: Tony, we lost.
TONY STARK: Is, uh...? [Tony struggles to ask about Pepper.]
PEPPER POTTS: Oh, my God! Oh, my God! [She and Tony
embrace.]
TONY STARK: It's okay.
[Rocket Raccoon sits down with Nebula and takes her hand, both
silently mourning their losses. In the Avengers Compound. The
heroes are sitting in a living room area. Tony is sitting at a table,
getting blood for healing. A holographic casualty report lists the
names and faces of those lost to the Decimation.]
JAMES RHODES: It's been 23 days since Thanos came to Earth.
NATASHA ROMANOFF: World governments are in pieces. The
parts that are still working are trying to take a census. And it
looks like he did... he did exactly what he said he was gonna do.
Thanos wiped out fifty percent, of all living creatures.
TONY STARK: Where is he now? Where?
STEVE ROGERS: We don't know. He just opened a portal and
walked through.
[Cut to a shot of a sullen-looking Thor, sitting on a bench,
seemingly deep in thought.]
TONY STARK: What's wrong with him?
ROCKET: Oh, he's pissed. He thinks he failed. Which of course
he did, but you know there's a lot of that's going around, ain't
there?
TONY STARK: Honestly, until this exact second, I thought you
were a Build-A-Bear.
ROCKET: Maybe I am.
STEVE ROGERS: We've been hunting Thanos for three weeks
now. Deep Space scans, and satellites, and we got nothing. Tony,
you fought him.
TONY STARK: Who told you that? [Surprised] I didn't fight him.
No, he wiped my face with a planet while the Bleecker Street
Magician gave away the store. That's what happened. There was
no fight.
STEVE ROGERS: Okay.
TONY STARK: He's unbeatable.
STEVE ROGERS: Did he give you any clues, any coordinates,
anything?
TONY STARK: Pfft! I saw this coming a few years back. I had a
vision. I didn't wanna believe it. Thought I was dreaming.
STEVE ROGERS: Tony, I'm gonna need you to focus.
TONY STARK: [starting to seethe] And I needed you. As in past
tense. That trumps what you need. It's too late buddy. Sorry. You
know what I need? [Tony stands, pushing things off the table
with a clatter. Everyone winces at the noise.] I need to shave.
And I believe I remember telling all youse -
[Tony goes for Steve. Rhodey quickly comes in front of him,
trying to stop him.]
RHODEY: Tony, Tony, Tony!
TONY STARK: Alive and otherwise what we needed was a suit of
armor around the world! Remember that? Whether it impacted
our precious freedoms or not- that's what we needed!
STEVE ROGERS: Well, that didn't work out, did it?
TONY STARK: I said, "we'd lose". You said, "We'll do that
together too." And guess what, Cap? We lost. And you weren't
there. But that's what we do, right? Our best work after the fact?
We're the Avengers, we're the Avengers. Not the Prevengers.
RHODEY: Okay.
TONY STARK: Right?
RHODEY: You made your point. Just sit down.
TONY STARK: Okay...
RHODEY: Okay?
TONY STARK: Nah, nah. Here's my point. You know what?
RHODEY: Tony, you're sick.
TONY STARK: [Referring to Carol] She's great, by the way.
RHODEY: Sit down. Sit.
TONY STARK: We need you. You're new blood. Bunch of tired
old mules! [Tony walks right up to Steve's face, his voice
hushing down to a venomous whisper] I got nothing for you,
Cap! I got no coordinates, no clues, no strategies, no options.
Zero. Zip. Nada. No trust. Liar.
[Steve looks affected by Tony's words. The old friends just gaze
at each other. After a moment, Tony rips his Arc Reactor from his
chest and shoves it into Steve's hand.]
TONY STARK: Here, take this. You find him, and you put that on.
You hide.
[Tony falls to the ground. Steve is by his side and everyone is
starting to gather.]
STEVE ROGERS: Tony!
TONY STARK: I'm fine. I...
[Tony falls into a heap, unconscious.]
[Cut to a shot of Tony on a bed, with Pepper at his side.]
RHODEY: Bruce gave him a sedative. He's gonna probably be out
for the rest of the day.
CAROL DANVERS: You guys take care of him. And I'll bring him
a Xorrian Elixir when I come back.
[Carol walks away.]
NATASHA ROMANOFF: Where are you going?
CAROL DANVERS: To kill Thanos.
[Steve and Natasha share a look before walking after her.]
NATASHA ROMANOFF: Hey, you know, we usually work as a
team here, and between you and I, morale's a little fragile.
STEVE ROGERS: We realize up there is more your territory, but
this is our fight too.
RHODEY: You even know where he is?
CAROL DANVERS: I know people who might.
NEBULA: [Standing behind Carol] Don't bother. I can tell you
where Thanos is. Thanos spent a long time trying to perfect me.
And when he worked, he talked about his great plan. Even
disassembled, I wanted to please him. I'd ask "where would we
go once his plan was complete?". His answer was always the
same: "To the Garden."
RHODEY: That's cute, Thanos has a retirement plan.
STEVE ROGERS: So where is he?
ROCKET: When Thanos snapped his fingers, Earth became
ground zero for a power surge of ridiculously cosmic
proportions. No one's ever seen anything like it... Until two days
ago. [A hologram of a planet pops up, with a shockwave visibly
traversing the surface.] On this planet.
NEBULA: Thanos is there.
NATASHA ROMANOFF: He used the stones again.
BRUCE BANNER: Hey, hey, hey. We'd be going in short-handed,
you know.
RHODEY: Look, he's still got the stones, so...
CAROL DANVERS: So let's get him... Use them to bring everyone
back.
RHODEY: Just like that?
STEVE ROGERS: Yeah, just like that.
[Steve and Carol share a knowing look.]
NATASHA ROMANOFF: Even if there's a small chance that we
can undo this... I mean we owe it to everyone who's not in this
room to try.
BRUCE BANNER: If we do this, how do we know it's gonna end
any differently than it did before?
CAROL DANVERS: Because before, you didn't have me.
RHODEY: Hey, new girl, everyone here is about that superhero
life. And if you don't mind my asking, where the hell have you
been all this time?
CAROL DANVERS: There are a lot of other planets in the
universe. And unfortunately, they didn't have you guys.
[Thor, who has been eating a snack behind all this time, stands
up and walks over to Carol. She looks behind at him. He holds
his hand up, and catches Stormbreaker as it flies over to him,
missing Carol by inches. But Carol doesn't even flinch, instead
smiling at the God of Thunder.]
THOR: I like this one. [smiles]
STEVE ROGERS: Let's go get this son of a bitch.
[Title Screen: Avengers: Endgame]
[Cut to a shot of everyone except for Tony aboard the Benatar.]
ROCKET: Okay, who here hasn't been to space?
[Nat, Cap, and Rhodey raise their hands.]
RHODEY: Why?
ROCKET: You better not throw up on my ship.
NEBULA: Approaching jump in 3... 2... 1!
[The ship jumps forward into a wormhole, and we see Steve
holding onto his seat for dear life. A close up of his eyes show
them widening slightly at the exhilaration of this new experience.
The ship slows down, and the ship hovers in orbit of the planet
seen in the hologram previously. Carol Danvers hovers in front of
the Benatar.]
CAROL DANVERS: I'll head down for recon.
[A shot of the passengers inside the Benatar preparing for the
impending confrontation.]
NATASHA ROMANOFF: This is gonna work, Steve.
STEVE ROGERS: I know it will.
[We see Steve holding a compass with an image of Peggy
Carter.]
STEVE ROGERS: Cause I don't know what I'm going to do if it
doesn't.
[Carol Danvers approaches the Benatar.]
CAROL DANVERS: No satellites, no ships, no armies, no ground
defenses of any kind. It's just him.
NEBULA: And that's enough.
[Cut to a shot of a scenic lush tropical fauna. It surrounds a shed
on a farm. A scarecrow made of Thanos' armour is seen before
we cut to a shot focusing on the burnt Infinity Gauntlet on
Thanos' arm. He's walking among his crops, harvesting fruit, and
putting them in a sack. He walks over to the shed, with a
dragging quality to his legs, like it pains him to walk, presumably
his living quarters, and tries to sit down, and we see his full face.
His whole left side is burnt black with blisters; He looks
ridiculously pathetic compared to when we saw him last.]
[Suddenly, Carol Danvers flies through the roof, knocking
Thanos down, and grabbing his neck. Bruce in the Hulkbuster
armor bursts from the ground, and grabs Thanos' Infinity
Gauntlet arm. Thor flies in and slices off the Infinity Gauntlet.
Rhodey flies down with Rocket and aims guns on Thanos' head.]
[Captain America walks in his Winter Soldier Outfit, with Natasha
right behind him, staring murderously at Thanos. Rocket goes
over to the sliced off Infinity Gauntlet, and kicks it over, as
everyone realizes that there are no stones in it.]
ROCKET: Oh no.
STEVE ROGERS: Where are they?
CAROL DANVERS: Answer the question!
THANOS: The universe required correction. After that, the stones
served no purpose, beyond temptation.
BRUCE BANNER: You murdered trillions! [Bruce pushes him to
the ground wearing Hulk Buster armor]
THANOS: You should be grateful. [Punched by Hulk Buster]
NATASHA ROMANONFF: Where are the Stones?
THANOS: Gone. Reduced to atoms.
BRUCE BANNER: You used them two days ago!
THANOS: I used the stones to destroy the stones. It nearly killed
me. But the work is done. It always will be. [sits himself a little
straighter.] I am... inevitable.
RHODEY: We have to tear this place apart, he-he-he has to be
lying.
NEBULA: My father is many things. A liar is not one of them.
THANOS: Ah, thank you, daughter. [Nebula looks down, a little
uncomfortable.] Perhaps I treated you too harshly.
[We see Thor's face filled with rage as he raises to summon
Stormbreaker, and before anyone can stop him, SLICES Thanos'
head off. Thanos' limp body falls to the floor. Nebula wipes off
some of the blood spatter.]
ROCKET: What... What did you do?
[Thor looks broken, realizing what he has done.]
THOR: I went for the head.
[Thor slowly walks out of the shed, no real purpose in his steps
as the screen blurs to nothingness.]
FIVE
[A pause]
YEARS
[pause]
LATER
[We see shots of New York City, seemingly abandoned. There are
a lot of boats gathered around a dock, all abandoned. A baseball
stadium comes into view, with no life present at all. The
aftermath of the Decimation is evident, and Earth has not coped
well.]
[Cut to an abandoned cafe, with a poster on the wall labeled
"WHERE DO WE GO, NOW THAT THEY'RE GONE?". A therapy
session is taking place with Steve Rogers and seven other
people.]
JOE RUSSO: So I, uh... Went on a date the other day. It's the first
time in five years, you know? I'm sitting there at dinner... I didn't
even know what to talk about.
STEVE ROGERS: What did you talk about?
JOE RUSSO: Same old crap, you know? How things have
changed, and... my job, his job... How much we miss the Mets.
And then things get quiet... He cried as they were serving the
salads.
JIM STARLIN: What about you?
JOE RUSSO: I cried... just before dessert. But I'm seeing him
again tomorrow, so...
STEVE ROGERS: That's great. You did the hardest part. You took
the jump, you didn't know where you were gonna come down.
And that's it. That's those little brave baby steps we gotta take.
To try and become whole again, try and find purpose. I went in
the ice in '45 right after I met the love of my life. Woke up 70
years later. You gotta move on. Gotta to move on. The world is in
our hands. It's left to us guys, and we got to do something with it.
Otherwise... Thanos should have killed all of us.
[Screen Title: SAN FRANCISCO]
[The camera pans to San Francisco Bridge, all the way to a self-
storage facility with a sign saying "U-STORE It, SELF STORAGE",
with its interior filled with stored stuff and junk until it spots Luis'
van from "Ant-Man and the Wasp", behind a metallic fence with a
label named "LANG". A rat crawls over the van's rear windshield
and accidentally activates the controls for opening the Quantum
Realm, haphazardly activating the Quantum Tunnel. The rear
door busts open, flinging Lang outside the van.]
SCOTT LANG: [grunts as he pushes away a cushion out of his
body, and deactivates the helmet, but still grunting in pain, as he
sweeps away sparks from an electrical failure out of his suit, then
try to stand up.] What the hell?
[He manages to stand up, as another electrical failure sparks out
of his gauntlets, and now looks around in a confused look.]
SCOTT LANG: Hope?
[Inside a security office, a security guard (Ken Jeong) reading a
book as he looks upon his security screen, seeing something
going on in one of the storage facilities. In the cameras, it shows
Lang in his casual clothing, shouting, waving a sign with the
word "HELP" written on it.]
[Outside the facility, he pulls out a pushcart and looks back
seeing the guard giving a stern look from far. He walks around
until reaching his hometown, finding a post filled with MISSING
posters, abandoned houses, a wrecked car, nothing but
desolation. He then sees a kid in a bike pass by.]
SCOTT LANG: [yells] Kid! Hey kid!
[The kid stops his bike as he stares back in a serious look.]
SCOTT LANG: What the hell happened here?
[The kid still stares at him and is almost about to tear up, but
immediately turns away from him and move on. Lang still gives
the same confused look, as he arrives in somewhat a memorial
called "THE VANISHED", with all the names of the people who
became victims of the Decimation. As Lang arrives on one of the
engraved stones, he immediately drops the handle in shock.]
SCOTT LANG: No. Please. Please, please. [moves on to check
the other side of the engraved stone] No, no, no. No. [Lang
excuses aside a young couple as he keeps on checking another
engraved stone if his daughter's name is on one.] Excuse me,
sorry. No, Cassie, no.
[The camera keeps panning and switching as Lang checks the
rest of engraved stones if her daughter's name was in one.]
SCOTT LANG: [in a mantra-like] Please, please, please, please...
No, Cassie. [Lang looks at the engraved stone in shock, revealing
his name in it.]
SCOTT LANG: What?
[Scott is now seen running across the memorial, then to his
hometown, only to ring a doorbell at his house, bang on the door,
and try opening the door, but is found locked. Then, he sees a
feminine figure appear out of a hallway inside. The figure gets
closer, revealing a woman in a purple sweater, with her hand
pushing towards the glass door's window, and her face filled with
amazement, as she unlocked the door. It was Lang's daughter,
Cassie, now a grown-up teen since the last five years.]
[Cassie, who hasn't seen him for five years, holds up his face in
an emotional sight and starts to smile tearfully. Lang does the
same.]
SCOTT LANG: Cassie?
CASSIE LANG: Dad? [Both of them emotionally hug each other
as both dad and daughter had reunited. Then Lang shoves her
back, realizing that her daughter is now a full-grown teenager.]
SCOTT LANG: You're so big!
[Both dad and daughter share a hug once more.]
[The camera cuts to a sunset in San Francisco, showing a metal
face with a sign saying in its headings, "RESTRICTED AREA, DO
NOT ENTER" with the subtext, "AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL
ONLY BEYOND THIS POINT, SECURITY ID OR ESCORT
REQUIRED", then cuts to a scene inside the New Avengers
facility, someone cutting the two bread with peanut butter filling
into a couple of triangles, as someone else was speaking. The
camera pans up to Romanoff, now having red, long hair, over-
colouring her blonde streaks, hearing Rocket Raccoon out about
his status so far.]
ROCKET: Yeah, we boarded that highly suspect warship Danvers
pinged.
[The camera cuts showing a few of the Avengers in holographic
calls from the left to right, respectively: Nebula and Rocket
Raccoon, Okoye, Danvers with a tomboyish haircut, and
Rhodes.]
NEBULA: It was an infectious garbage scowl.
ROCKET: So, thanks for the hot tip. [turns to Danvers and replies
back with a smirk]
CAROL DANVERS: Well, you were closer.
ROCKET: Yeah. And now we smell like garbage.
NATASHA ROMANOFF: [turns to Okoye] You get a reading on
those tremors?
OKOYE: It was a mild subduction under the African plate.
NATASHA ROMANOFF: Do we have a visual? How are we
handling it?
OKOYE: Nat, it's an earthquake under the ocean. We handle it by
not handling it.
NATASHA ROMANOFF: [turns to Danvers] Carol, are we seeing
you here next month?
CAROL DANVERS: Not likely.
ROCKET: What, you gonna get another haircut?
CAROL DANVERS: [irritated] Listen fur-face, I'm covering a lot of
territory. The things that are happening on Earth, are happening
everywhere, on thousands of planets.
ROCKET: [murmurs to himself] All right, all right, that's a good
point. That's a good point.
CAROL DANVERS: So you might not see me for a long time.
NATASHA ROMANOFF: Alright. Uh, well. This channel is always
active. So, if anything goes sideways... anyone's making trouble
where they shouldn't... comes through me.
[Okoye agrees in her language.]
ROCKET: Okay.
NATASHA ROMANOFF: Alright.
[The Avengers cut off their calls one by one...]
CAROL DANVERS: [To Rhodey] Good luck. [cuts off call]
[Except for Rhodes. Nat sighs exhausted, and sits down, as she
notices Rhodes still online in the call.]
NATASHA ROMANOFF: Where are you?
RHODEY: Mexico. The Federales found a room full of bodies.
Looks like a bunch of cartel guys. Never even had the chance to
get their guns off.
NATASHA ROMANOFF: It's probably a rival gang.
RHODEY: Except it isn't. [Nat realizes something.] It's definitely
Barton. What he's done here, what he's been doing for the last
few years... I mean, the scene that he left... [Nat starts to show
signs of sadness as she gradually tears up.] I gotta tell you,
there's a part of me that doesn't even want to find him.
[In an abrupt moment of silence, she tries to chew her tears and
emotional feelings as she eats a sandwich.]
NATASHA ROMANOFF: Will you find out where he's going next?
RHODEY: Nat...
NATASHA ROMANOFF: Please.
RHODEY: [reluctantly] Okay. [then Rhodes cuts off his]
[Nat starts to cry as she tries to hold back her tears miserably.]
STEVE ROGERS: You know I'd offer to cook you dinner but you
seem pretty miserable already. [Out of nowhere, Roger slumps
over a bookshelf, in the same mood as he is in the therapy
session, as Nat wipes off the tears off her face.]
NATASHA ROMANOFF: You here to do your laundry?
STEVE ROGERS: And to see a friend.
NATASHA ROMANOFF: Clearly, your friend is fine.
STEVE ROGERS: You know I saw a pod of whales when I was
coming up the bridge.
NATASHA ROMANOFF: In the Hudson?
STEVE ROGERS: There's fewer ships, cleaner water.
NATASHA ROMANOFF: You know, if you're about to tell me to
look on the bright side. Um... I'm about you to hit you in the head
with a peanut butter sandwich. [jokingly smiles, as Rogers does
the same]
STEVE ROGERS: Sorry. Force of habit. [Throws his jacket, then
sits down on another chair, opposite Natasha.]
STEVE ROGERS: You know, I keep telling everybody they should
move on and... grow. Some do. But not us.
NATASHA ROMANOFF: If I move on, who does this?
STEVE ROGERS: Maybe it doesn't need to be done.
NATASHA ROMANOFF: [Deep in her thoughts] I used to have
nothing. And then I got this. This job... this family. And I was... I
was better because of it. And even though... they're gone... I'm
still trying to be better.
STEVE ROGERS: I think we both need to get a life.
NATASHA ROMANOFF: [Smiling] You first.
[A camera footage pops up in front of them, showing Scott Lang
with his Quantum Realm Van behind him.]
SCOTT LANG: Oh! Hi. Hi! Is anyone home? This is Scott Lang.
We met a few years ago, at the airport? In Germany? I got really
big, and I had my mask on. You wouldn't recognize me.
STEVE ROGERS: [Standing up] Is this an old message?
NATASHA ROMANOFF: [Also standing up] It's the front gate.
SCOTT LANG: Ant-Man? Ant-Man, I know you know that. I need
to talk to you guys.
[Cut to Scott inside the Avengers Compound, pacing worriedly in
front of Steve and Natasha.]
STEVE ROGERS: Scott. Are you okay?
SCOTT LANG: Yeah. I'm fine.
[He struggles to ask about something. He finally blurts it out.]
SCOTT LANG: Have you ever studied Quantum Physics?
NATASHA ROMANOFF: Only to make conversation.
SCOTT LANG: Alright. So... five years ago, right before Thanos, I
was in a place called the Quantum Realm. The Quantum Realm is
like its own microscopic universe. To get in there, you have to be
incredibly small. Hope, she's my... She was my... [struggling to
not tell the entire truth about their relationship] She was
supposed to pull me out. And then Thanos happened, and I got
stuck in there.
NATASHA ROMANOFF: I'm sorry. That must've been a very long
five years.
SCOTT LANG: Yeah, but that's just it. It wasn't. For me, it was
five hours.
[Steve and Nat share a quick bewildered glance.]
SCOTT LANG: See, the rules of the Quantum Realm aren't like
they are up here. Everything is unpredictable. Is that anybody's
sandwich? I'm starving.
[He strides over to pick up Nat's sandwich, and bites into it.]
STEVE ROGERS: Scott, what are you talking about?
SCOTT LANG: What I'm saying is, time works differently in the
Quantum Realm. The only problem is right now, we don't have a
way to navigate it. But what if we did? I can't stop thinking about
it. What if, we could somehow control the chaos, and we could
navigate it? What if there was a way to enter the Quantum Realm
at a certain point in time but then exit at another point in time?
Like... Like before Thanos.
STEVE ROGERS: Wait, are you talking about a time machine?
SCOTT LANG: No. No, of course not. No, not a time machine. It's
more like a... Yeah, a time machine. I know it's crazy. But I can't
stop thinking about it. There's gotta be some way... There's gotta
be...some w... it's crazy.
NATASHA ROMANOFF: Scott, I get e-mails from a raccoon, so
nothing sounds crazy anymore.
SCOTT LANG: So who do we talk to about this?
[We cut to a cabin in the woods, at the bank of a lake. We see
Tony Stark sitting outside what looks like a tiny shed.]
TONY STARK: [Clapping his hand in a famous beat] Chow
time! [He seems to be speaking to someone unknown by the
audience.] Morgoona? Morgan H. Stark. You want some lunch?
MORGAN STARK: Define lunch or be disintegrated. [She puts on
a silver and blue helmet similar to Iron Man's]
[A girl with long dark hair walks out in front of Tony. This is
Morgan Stark, Tony and Pepper's daughter. She looks to be
about 3–4 years of age.]
TONY STARK: Okay, You should not be wearing that, okay? That
is part of a special anniversary gift I'm making for Mom. [Takes
the helmet off Morgan's head. She emerges out smiling
mischievously.]
MORGAN STARK: Okay.
TONY STARK: There you go. Are you thinking about lunch? I can
give you a handful of crickets on a bed of lettuce.
MORGAN STARK: No.
TONY STARK: That's what you want. How did you find this?
MORGAN STARK: Garage.
TONY STARK: Really? Were you looking for it?
MORGAN STARK: No. I found it, though.
TONY STARK: You like going to the garage, huh? So does daddy.
It's fine, actually. Your mom never wears anything I buy her.
[They start walking towards the house, but Tony notices a black
Audi pulling coming to a stop a few meters away. Steve, Nat, and
Scott get out of the car. Tony sighs. He is not looking forward to
the discussion about to take place.]
SCOTT LANG: [Cut to after Scott's plan has been explained to
Tony] Now, we know what it sounds like...
STEVE ROGERS: Tony, after everything you've seen, is anything
really impossible?
TONY STARK: Quantum fluctuation messes with the Planck
Scale, which then triggers the Deutsch Proposition. Can we
agree on that?
[Scott, Steve and Nat all look puzzled. Science is barely any of
their fields.]
STEVE ROGERS: [Tony giving a drink to him] Thank you.
TONY STARK: In Layman's terms, it means you're not coming
home.
SCOTT LANG: I did.
TONY STARK: No, you accidentally survived. It's a billion to one
cosmic fluke. And now you wanna pull off a... What do you call
it?
SCOTT LANG: [Trying to hide his pride] A time heist?
TONY STARK: Yeah, a time heist. Of course, why didn't we think
of this before? Oh, because it's laughable? Because it's a
pipedream?
SCOTT LANG: The Stones are in the past. We can go back and
get them.
NATASHA ROMANOFF: We can snap our own fingers. We can
bring everyone back.
TONY STARK: Or screw it up worse than he already has, right?
STEVE ROGERS: I don't believe we would.
TONY STARK: Gotta say, sometimes I miss that giddy optimism.
However, high hopes won't help if there's no logical, tangible way
for me to safely execute said time heist. I believe the most likely
outcome would be our collective demise.
SCOTT LANG: Not if we strictly follow the rules of time travel.
That means no talking to our past selves, no betting on sporting
events -
TONY STARK: I'm gonna stop you right there, Scott. Are you
seriously telling me that your plan to save the universe is based
on Back To The Future?
SCOTT LANG: [embarrassed] No.
TONY STARK: Good. You had me worried there. 'Cause that'd be
horse shit. That's not how quantum physics works.
NATASHA ROMANOFF: Tony... We have to take a stand.
TONY STARK: We did stand. And yet, here we are.
SCOTT LANG: I know you got a lot on the line. You got a wife, a
daughter. But I lost someone very important to me. A lot of
people did. [His voice gets louder as he tries to sell his
desperation to Tony.] And now, now we have a chance to bring
her back. To bring everyone back. And you're telling me that
won't even...
TONY STARK: That's right, Scott, I won't even. I got a kid.
[Morgan runs to her dad, who picks her up.]
MORGAN STARK: Mommy told me to come and save you.
TONY STARK: Good job. I'm saved. [Turning to face Cap, Nat and
Scott.] I wish you'd come here to ask me something else.
Anything else. Honestly, I... I missed you guys, it was... Oh, and
table's set for six.
STEVE ROGERS: Tony, I get it. And I'm happy for you, I really am.
But this is a second chance.
TONY STARK: I got my second chance right here, Cap. I can't roll
the dice again. If you don't talk shop, you can stay for lunch.
[We see Cap, Nat and Scott walking back to their car outside
Tony's house.]
NATASHA ROMANOFF: He's scared.
STEVE ROGERS: He's not wrong.
SCOTT LANG: Yeah, but I mean, what are we gonna do? We need
him. What, are we gonna stop?
STEVE ROGERS: No, I wanna do it right. We're gonna need a
really big brain.
SCOTT LANG: [Incredulous, pointing to Tony's house] Bigger
than his?
[Cut to a cafe somewhere, we see Bruce Banner, but not the
same one that we remember. He looks more... Professor Hulk.]
BRUCE BANNER: Come on, I feel like I'm the only one
eating. [Pushing a plate forward] Try some of that. Have some
eggs.
SCOTT LANG: I'm so confused.
BRUCE BANNER: [seriously] These are confusing times.
SCOTT LANG: Right. No, no, that's not what I meant.
BRUCE BANNER: [dropping the act] No, I get it. I'm kidding! I
know. It's crazy. I'm wearing shirts now.
SCOTT LANG: Yeah! Wh...How? Why?
BRUCE BANNER: Five years ago, we got our asses beaten.
Except it was worse for me. Because I lost twice. First, Hulk lost,
then Banner lost. Then, we all lost.
NATASHA ROMANOFF: No one blamed you, Bruce.
BRUCE BANNER: I did. For years, I've been treating the Hulk like
he's some kind of disease, something to get rid of. But then I
started looking at him as the cure. Eighteen months in a gamma
lab. I put the brains and the brawn together. And now look at me.
Best of both worlds...
[Three children behind Bruce walk up to him tentatively]
GIRL: Excuse me, Mr. Hulk?
BRUCE BANNER: Yes?
GIRL: Can we get a photo?
BRUCE BANNER: 100%, little person. Come on, step up. [Holding
out the phone to Scott] You mind?
SCOTT LANG: Oh, yeah.
BRUCE BANNER: Thanks, [To the Children] Say "green"! [The
children and Bruce say Green as Scott snaps the photo.]
BRUCE BANNER: Did you get that?
SCOTT LANG: [leaning forward to hand back the phone] Don't
you wanna grab one with me? I'm Ant-Man.
SCOTT LANG: They're Hulk fans, they don't know Ant-Man.
Nobody does.
BRUCE BANNER: Wait, no, no, he feels bad. No, he wants you
to...he wants to...[to one of the boys] You want to take a picture
with him, right? [The boy shakes his head vigorously.]
SCOTT LANG: He's even saying no he doesn't. I get it. I don't
want it either.
BRUCE BANNER: But, come on, the kid! But he...but you...
SCOTT LANG: I don't want a picture with them.
BRUCE BANNER: [To the children] He's gonna feel bad. [To
Scott] Sorry. They said they'd do it.
SCOTT LANG: I don't want it anymore.
BRUCE BANNER: No, no...you feel bad.
SCOTT LANG: Just take the goddamn phone.
[Maybe next time, Scott.]
GIRL: Thank you, Mr. Hulk.
BRUCE BANNER: No, it's great kids. Thank you very much. Hulk
out!
STEVE ROGERS: Bruce.
BRUCE BANNER: [Awkwardly] Dab!
STEVE ROGERS: Bruce.
BRUCE BANNER: Listen to your Mom. She knows better.
STEVE ROGERS: About we were saying...
BRUCE BANNER: Right. The whole time travel do-over? Guys,
it's outside my area of expertise.
NATASHA ROMANOFF: Well, you pulled this off. I remember a
time when that seemed pretty impossible time, too.
[The scene cuts to Tony Stark in the kitchen washing dishes after
dinner. As he finishes the last of them, stumbles upon a photo of
both Stark and Parker, with Parker holding his Stark Internship
certificate. Tony finally knows what he's fighting for.]
[Cut to Tony talking to his computer, generating a holographic
model of something he's working on.]
TONY STARK: Look at a mod inspiration, let me see what check
out. So, recommend one last sim before we pack it in for the
night. This time, in the shape of a mobius strip, inverted, please.
F.R.I.D.A.Y: Processing...
TONY STARK: Give me that eigenvalue. That, particle factoring,
and a spectral decomp. That will take a second.
F.R.I.D.A.Y: Just a moment.
TONY STARK: And don't worry if it doesn't pan out. I'm just kinda
-
F.R.I.D.A.Y: Model rendered.
[In a complete shock of amazement, the render comes back as
99.987% successful. Tony falls back, bewildered by this
discovery.]
TONY STARK: Shit!
MORGAN STARK: Shit.
[Morgan, who has been hiding behind him all this time, giggles
as she repeats the word Tony just uttered.]
TONY STARK: [Whispering] What are you doing up, little mess?
MORGAN STARK: Shit.
TONY STARK: No, we don't say that. Only Mommy says that
word. She coined it, it belongs to her.
MORGAN STARK: Why you up?
TONY STARK: 'Cause I got some important shit going on
here. [Morgan gives Tony a taste of the incredulous] What do you
think? No, I got something on my mind. I got something on my
mind.
MORGAN STARK: Was it Juice Pops?
TONY STARK: Sure was. That's extortion. Great minds think
alike. Juice Pops, exactly was on... [Looks back to the model,
Then turns back] my mind.
[In Morgan's room]
TONY STARK: You done? Yeah, now you are. [Tony wipes
Morgan's lips and pushes her head onto her pillow] That face
goes there.
MORGAN STARK: Tell me a story.
TONY STARK: A story... Once upon a time, Morgoona went to
bed. The end.
MORGAN STARK: [Giggling] That's a horrible story.
TONY STARK: Come on, that's your favorite story. I love you
tons. [Kisses Morgan on the forehead.]
MORGAN STARK: I love you 3000.
TONY STARK: [Silently] Wow. [Turns off the lamp] 3000. That's
crazy. [Closed the door] Go to bed. Or I'll sell all your toys. Night,
night.
[Cut to the living room where Pepper is reading a book sitting on
the couch. Tony paces in front of the fireplace.]
TONY STARK: Not that it's a competition, but she loves me 3000.
You were somewhere on the low 6 to 900 range. [Pepper scoffs]
TONY STARK: [Absentmindedly] What are you reading?
PEPPER POTTS: Oh, it's just a book on composting.
TONY STARK: [Still absentmindedly] What's new with
composting?
PEPPER POTTS: Just -
TONY STARK: I figured it out, by the way.
PEPPER POTTS: You know, just so we're talking about the same
thing -
TONY STARK: Time travel.
PEPPER POTTS: [Amazed] What? Wow... That's amazing, and...
terrifying.
TONY STARK: That's right.
PEPPER POTTS: We got really lucky.
TONY STARK: Yeah, I know.
PEPPER POTTS: A lot of people didn't.
TONY STARK: No, I can't help everybody.
PEPPER POTTS: It sort a seems like you can.
TONY STARK: Not if I stop. I can put a pin in it right now, and
stop.
PEPPER POTTS: Tony, trying to get you to stop has been one of
the few failures of my life.
[Tony smiles]
TONY STARK: I sometimes feel I should put it in a locked box
and drop it at the bottom of a lake... go to bed.
PEPPER POTTS: But would you be able to rest?
[Cut to a lab in the Avengers Compound, we see Bruce fiddling
with buttons on a panel. Scott is in his Ant-Man costume in front
of his van, with the back open to show the Quantum Tunnel. Nat
and Steve are beside Bruce]
BRUCE BANNER: Okay, here we go. Time travel test number one.
Scott, fire up the uhhh... the van thing.
[Scott opens the portal]
STEVE ROGERS: Breakers are set, emergency generators are on
standby.
BRUCE BANNER: Good. 'Cause if we blow the grid, I don't wanna
lose Tiny here in the 1950's. [Scott, Nat and Cap give Bruce a
panicked look]
SCOTT LANG: Excuse me?
NATASHA ROMANOFF: He's kidding. [In a hushed tone to
Bruce] You can't say things like that!
BRUCE BANNER: Just... It was a bad joke.
NATASHA ROMANOFF: You were kidding, right?
BRUCE BANNER: [Whispering to Nat] I have no idea. We're
talking about time travel here. Either it's all a joke, or none of it
is. [Loudly and gives Scott a thumbs up] We're good! Get your
helmet on, Scott. I'm gonna send you back a week, let you walk
around for an hour, then bring you back in 10 seconds. Makes
sense?
SCOTT LANG: Perfectly not confusing
STEVE ROGERS: Good luck, Scott. You got this.
SCOTT LANG: You're right. I do, Captain America.
[Bruce presses a button, and Scott disappears into the Quantum
Tunnel.]
BRUCE BANNER: On the count of three. 3... 2... 1!
[Bruce presses a button, and someone in the Ant-Man suit comes
back. A teenager in appears out of it.]
TEEN SCOTT LANG: Uh, guys? This...this doesn't feel right.
STEVE ROGERS: What is this?
BRUCE BANNER: What's going on?
NATASHA ROMANOFF: That...who is that?
[He pushes another couple of buttons, trying to fix the problem.]
BRUCE BANNER: Hold on. [Panicking]
NATASHA ROMANOFF: Is that Scott?
TEEN SCOTT LANG: Yes, it's Scott!
[Teen Scott gets sucked in back into the quantum tunnel, and it
appears to be an old man in the Ant-Man suit.]
OLD SCOTT LANG: Ow! My back!
STEVE ROGERS: What is this?
BRUCE BANNER: Can I get a little space here.
STEVE ROGERS: Yeah yeah. Can you bring him back?
BRUCE BANNER: I'm working on it! [Tapping the side of the
button pad, trying to pull back Scott]
[After a moment, another person appears in front of them. This
time, it's a baby in the Ant-Man suit.]
STEVE ROGERS: It's a baby. [seriously]
BRUCE BANNER: It's Scott.
STEVE ROGERS: As a baby!
BRUCE BANNER: He'll grow.
STEVE ROGERS: Bring Scott back!
BRUCE BANNER: [motioning to Nat] When I say kill the power,
kill the power.
NATASHA ROMANOFF: Oh my god. [rapidly walk near to the
generator]
BRUCE BANNER: And... Kill it!
[Nat pulls down a lever, and everything shuts down. Scott, the
normal Scott, gets spewed back out again.]
SCOTT LANG: Somebody peed my pants.
NATASHA ROMANOFF: Oh thank god.
SCOTT LANG: But I don't know if it was "baby" me or "old"
me...Or just "me" me.
BRUCE BANNER: [holds up his his hands in a dramatic
way] Time travel!
[Steve says nothing. He simply shakes his head and walks away]
BRUCE BANNER: What? I..I see this as an absolute win!
[We cut to see Steve sitting outside the Avengers Compound,
staring at the floor, deep in thought. He looks beat, the only
possibility of victory now not an opportunity. He looks up as a
deafening noise breaks the silence in the distance. As he looks,
we see an Audi R8 speeding towards the entrance. The car pulls
over to Cap, but goes a bit too far, then reverses to Cap. We see
Tony Stark roll down the window and look at Cap.]
TONY STARK: Why the long face? Let me guess: He turned into a
baby.
STEVE ROGERS: Among other things, yeah. What are you doing
here?
[He gets out of the car, and walks around to the back.]
TONY STARK: [Ignoring Steve's question] That's the EPR
Paradox. Instead of pushing Lang through time, you might've
wound up pushing time through Lang. It's tricky. Dangerous.
Somebody shoulda cautioned you against it.
STEVE ROGERS: You did.
TONY STARK: Oh, did I? [acting like he did not; there's the Tony
we know] Thank God I'm here. Regardless, I fixed it. [He holds up
his right hand, with a device on it] A fully functioning Time-Space
GPS. I just want peace. [Makes peace sign with his fingers] Turns
out, resentment is corrosive, and I hate it.
STEVE ROGERS: Me too.
TONY STARK: We got a shot at getting these stones, but I gotta
tell you my priorities: Bring back what we lost? I hope, yes. Keep
what I got? I have to, at all costs. And... maybe not die trying will
be nice.
STEVE ROGERS: Sounds like a deal. [Steve reaches out his hand
to shake in the deal, in which Tony replies in the same way.]
[Tony reaches back into his trunk to pull something else out,
Captain America's Shield. He makes to give it to Steve, who
hesitates.]
STEVE ROGERS: Tony...
TONY STARK: Why? He made it for you. [referring to Howard
Stark] Plus, honestly I have to get it out of the garage before
Morgan takes it sledding.
[Steve fits his arm into the shield.]
STEVE ROGERS: Thank you, Tony.
TONY STARK: Will you keep that a little quiet? Didn't bring one
for the whole team. [Hesitates] ...We are getting the whole team,
yeah?
STEVE ROGERS: We're working on that right now.
[Cut to the Benatar landing in the yard of the Avenger's
Compound. Scott is sitting having a Taco and some Nachos at a
bench, and everything falls out of the taco as the Benatar lands.
Nebula and Rocket walk out of the ship, and past Scott.]
ROCKET: Hey, homie! Where's Big Green?
SCOTT LANG: Uh, Kitchen, I think. [To himself as he sees
Nebula] That's awesome.
NEBULA: [into an earpiece] Rhodey, careful on re-entry. There's
an idiot on the landing zone.
[She walks away. Moments later, just as Scott is getting back to
his senses, Rhodey lands right in front of him without warning.
This time Scott is so surprised, he drops the whole taco.]
SCOTT LANG: Oh, God!
RHODEY: What's up, regular sized man?
[As Rhodey walks away, Bruce walks out of the Compound.
Seeing that Scott dropped his lunch, he hands two tacos from his
own lunch to Scott. Scott takes it while giving Bruce a puzzling
look at this act of kindness.]
[Cut to Bruce sitting at the back of a Utility car as they traverse
the green countryside of Norway. They pass a sign labelled
"WELCOME TO NEW ASGARD, PLEASE DRIVE SLOWLY.". They
stop at a small town on a port. Bruce and Rocket get out of the
car, and look around at the remaining Asgardians, living like
normal humans at a port.]
ROCKET: Kind of a step down from a from a golden palace for an
Avenger highness and whatnot.
BRUCE BANNER: Hey, have a little compassion, pal. First they've
lost Asgard, then half the people. They're probably just happy to
have a home. [Bruce spots Valkyrie looking over at him, and
heads over to her.]
VALKYRIE: You shouldn't have come!
BRUCE BANNER: Ah, Valkyrie! Great to see you, Angry Girl.
VALKYRIE: [Noticing Bruce's change of appearance] I think I
liked you better either of the other ways.
BRUCE BANNER: [motioning to Rocket] This is Rocket.
ROCKET: How you doin'?
VALKYRIE: [Eyeing Rocket] He won't see you.
BRUCE BANNER: That bad, huh?
VALKYRIE: We only see him once a month, when he comes
for... [looking over to a pile of kegs of stout and other beer on the
side] ... supplies.
BRUCE BANNER: It's that bad.
VALKYRIE: Yeah.
[Cut to Rocket opening a door, and him and Bruce walking
through it.]
ROCKET: [Grimacing at the smell] What the... Woo! Something
died in here.
BRUCE BANNER: Hello? Thor?
THOR: [From another room.] Are you here about the cable?
[He walks into view, and the audience's jaw drops. Thor, who is
shirtless, has definitely put on more than a couple of pounds
since we saw him last.]
THOR: The Cinemax ran out about two weeks ago, and the sports
were all kind of fuzzy. [He grabs a beer]
BRUCE BANNER: Thor?
[He notices Bruce and Rocket standing there. He cracks into
joy.] BOYS! Oh my God! Its so to see you! [To Rocket, trying to
hug him] Come here, you little rascal!
ROCKET: No, I'm good. I'm good. That's not necessary.
THOR: Hulk, you know my friends, Miek, Korg, right?
[We see Miek and Korg sitting on a couch, PlayStation controller
in hand, playing Fortnite and eating chips.]
KORG: Hey boys!
BRUCE BANNER: Hey guys, long time no see.
KORG: Beer's on the bucket. Feel free to log on to the Wi-Fi. No
password, obviously. [He goes back to his game.] Thor, he's
back. The kid on the TV that called me a dickhead again.
THOR: Noobmaster.
KORG: Yeah, Noobmaster69 called me a dickhead.
[Thor walks over to Korg, takes his headphones, and speaks into
the mic.]
THOR: Noobmaster? Yeah, it's Thor again. You know, the God of
Thunder? Listen, buddy. If you don't log off this game
immediately, I am gonna fly over to your house, come down to
that basement you're hiding in, rip off your arms and shove them
up your butt! Oh, that's right. Yes, go cry to your father, you little
weasel!
KORG: [Thor brings his headphones back] Thank you, Thor.
THOR: Let me know if he bothers you again, okay?
KORG: Thank you very much. I will.
THOR: So you guys want a drink? What are you drinking? We
have beer, tequila, all sorts of things.
[Thor uses Stormbreaker to open a bottle of beer and starts
drinking. Bruce walks to him and places a hand on his shoulder]
BRUCE BANNER: Buddy, you all right?
THOR: Yes, I'm fine! Why, don't I look all right?
ROCKET: [Concerned] You look like melted ice cream.
THOR: [Laughs] So, what's up?
BRUCE BANNER: We need your help. There might be a chance
we could fix everything.
THOR: What, like the cable? [burps] Cause that's been driving me
bananas for weeks.
BRUCE BANNER: Like Thanos.
[Thor's smile slowly disappears. He puts a shaky hand on
Bruce's shoulder and points at him.]
THOR: Don't you say that name.
[Korg stands up and takes off his headphones]
KORG: Um, yeah. We don't actually say that name in here.
BRUCE BANNER: [quietly] Please take your hand off me. [He
brushes away Thor's hand] Now, I know that... guy might scare
you.
THOR: Why would I be? Why would, why would I be scared of
that guy? I'm the one who killed that guy, remember? Anyone
else here killed that guy? Nope. Didn't think so. Korg, why don't
you, tell everybody who chopped Thanos' big head off.
[Thor walks off screen]
KORG: Umm... Stormbreaker?
THOR: Now, who's swingin' Stormbreaker?
BRUCE BANNER: I get it. You're in a rough spot, okay? I've been
there myself. You wanna know who helped me out of it?
THOR: I don't know. Is it... Natasha?
BRUCE BANNER: It was you. You helped me.
THOR: [walks over and looks out the window and points, still
holding his beer] Why don't you ask the, Asgardians down there,
how much my help was worth. [he drops onto the sofa] The ones
that are left, anyway.
BRUCE BANNER: I think we can bring them back.
THOR: Stop. stop, okay? [opens a packet on M&Ms] I know you
think I'm down here wallowing in my own self-pity, waiting to be
rescued and and saved. But I'm fine, okay? We're fine, aren't we?
[The camera cuts to Korg and Miek eating pizza and playing once
more]
KORG: Nah, all good here, mate.
[Cuts back to Thor]
THOR: So, whatever it is that you're offering, we're not into it,
don't care, couldn't care less. Goodbye.
BRUCE BANNER: [from offscreen] We need you, pal.
[Thor shakes his head and ignores Bruce.]
ROCKET: [Crossing his arms] There's beer on the ship.
THOR: [pauses, but doesn't look up] What kind?
[SCREEN TITLE: TOKYO]
[After seeing a Quinjet flown to the capital, the scene cuts to a
nightclub in the city of Tokyo, as the entertainment still intact,
loads of dead bodies of yakuza members are seen as a hooded
figure throws a shuriken at another yakuza member firing at him.
They are shouting something in Japanese, as two more men
come out of nowhere and draw out their UZIs.]
THUG #1: あいつだ! アキヒコさんを！(Romanized: Aitsu da!
Akihiko-san wo!) (Translated: It's him! He's after Akihiko!)
[Both thugs fire their SMGs as both got slain by a shuriken. A
yakuza member wielding a katana charges at him in the stairs,
but is immediately overthrown and slain by the Ronin. Ronin then
fights another sword-wielding thug, which is thrown outside the
glass, killing him. The camera passes through two more
buildings as the fighting ensues with different screams, shouts,
more havoc inside, and gunfire. A man in a dark raincoat jumps
through the glass window, with the Ronin doing the same, as
both of them lands in a dark alleyway. The man in the raincoat
turns to the Ronin, who just landed after him. It was Akihiko, the
leader of a yakuza gang, whose head being hunted by the Ronin
himself.]
AKIHIKO: てめえ なぜこんなことをする? 俺たちてめえになにもして
ねぇだろ！(Romanized: Temē naze konna koto wo suru? Oretachi
temē ni nani mo shitenē daro!) (English: Why are you doing this?
We never did anything to you!)
RONIN: [As he draws out his katana and reversibly wields it.]地球
の半分 サノスにやられた... お前はなぜ無事なの
…(Romanized: Chikyū no hanbun sanosu ni yarareta... Omae wa
naze buji nano...) (English: You survived... Half of the planet
didn't. They got Thanos... you get me.)
[Both sides engaged in combat as Ronin pierces his stomach,
but doing only minor damage to him.]
RONIN: [Also in Japanese] お前はもう十分殺しただろ
(Romanized:Omae mo jūbun korshita daro) You're done hurting
people.
AKIHIKO: [Japanese]俺らがだと? 気でも狂ったか! (Orera ga dato?
Ki demo kurutta ka!) [he gestures to all the scattered bodies of
his henchmen] (English: WE hurt people? You're crazy!)
[Akihiko charges, which Ronin immediately blocks. Both clang
swords for two seconds, seeming that the yakuza leader has the
upper hand, but Ronin punches him in the face, and sword-
points him to his throat, in which Akihiko is temporarily
petrified.]
[He lowers down his sword as if he is about to surrender, but
charges again at Ronin. Both swords clashed as Ronin slices his
stomach, losing stamina, but gaining more strength from his
rage.]
AKIHIKO: [in a Gatotsu-like sword stance] 死ね! (Romanized:
Shine!) (English: DIE!)
[They both draw their katanas and the sword-fight continues.
Ronin is clearly a better fighter, but Akihiko is also quite
experienced. They clang swords, and for a second, it looks like
Akihiko has the upper hand swinging at Ronin's neck. Ronin,
however, ducks and slides under the katana, and slices Akihiko
in the stomach as he slides past. Akihiko, now fatally injured,
drops his katana.]
AKIHIKO: 待て! 助けてくれ! お前に何でもやる! 何が欲しい
? (Romanized: Mate! Tasukete kure! Omae ni nan demo yaru!
Nani ga hosī? (English: Wait! Help me! I'll give you anything!
What do you want?)
RONIN: [Raising his katana, in English] What I want... You can't
give me.
[He thrusts the blade downwards into Akihiko's stomach. The
body of the Japanese falls to the ground. Ronin grabs the sword,
and wipes it on his gauntlet, ridding it of the blood of Akihiko. He
notices someone behind him, and grabs his mask, and slides it
off his head, revealing himself as Clint Barton, who has gone on
a rampage since the decimation. He turns around and looks at
Nat, who is standing behind him, holding an umbrella, and in
casual clothes.]
CLINT BARTON: You shouldn't be here.
NATASHA ROMANOFF: Neither should you.
CLINT BARTON: I've got a job to do.
NATASHA ROMANOFF: Is that what you're calling this? Killing all
these people isn't gonna bring your family back.
[Clint starts to look emotional, on the verge of crying.]
NATASHA ROMANOFF: We found something. A chance, maybe...
CLINT BARTON: [Now openly crying] Don't...
NATASHA ROMANOFF: Don't what?
CLINT BARTON: ...don't give me hope.
NATASHA: I'm sorry I couldn't give it to you sooner.
[We cut to the Avenger's Compound, where we see Thor in a
hoodie, drinking a beer and walking through the compound's
Testing Chamber. Tony is also there, walking in from behind
Thor.]
TONY STARK: [To Thor] Drifting left. On the side there,
Lebowski. [To Rocket, who's working on something underneath a
glass platform] Ratchet, How's it going?
ROCKET: It's Rocket. Take it easy. You're only a genius on Earth,
pal.
[Cut to a side room, where we see Scott, Bruce, Steve and
Rhodey talking. Scott is in a white and red suit, similar to the Ant-
Man suit.]
RHODEY: Time travel suit? Not bad.
SCOTT LANG: [Response to Hulk touching the suit and
something red in a glass tube] Hey, hey, hey! Easy, easy!
BRUCE BANNER: I'm being very careful.
SCOTT LANG: No, you're being very Hulky.
BRUCE BANNER: I'm being careful.
SCOTT LANG: [Holding up the red glass bottle] These are Pym
Particles, alright? And ever since Hank Pym got snapped out of
existence, this is it. This is what we have. We're not making any
more.
RHODEY: Scott, calm down.
SCOTT LANG: Sorry. We've got enough for one round trip each.
That's it. No do-overs. Plus two test runs. [He accidentally
presses a button, and shrinks, and then grows back to his
normal size.] One test run.
[Cut to the testing chamber, where we see Steve, Nat, Tony,
Scott, Bruce, Rhodey and Nebula standing at a control panel,
presumably controlling the glass platform.]
SCOTT LANG: All right. I'm not ready for this.
CLINT BARTON: I'm game. I'll do it.
[Clint walks in wearing the suit Scott was moments before, the
Quantum Suit.]
BRUCE BANNER: Clint, now you're gonna feel a little
discombobulated from the chronoshift. Don't worry about it.
[Clint taking position on the platform]
RHODEY: Wai-Wait a second, let me ask you something. If we
can do this, you know, go back in time, why don't we just find
baby Thanos, you know, and... [he makes a hand gesture
suggesting that they strangle baby Thanos with a rope.]
BRUCE BANNER: [Disgusted] First of all, that's horrible...
RHODEY: [In a tone that says it's what we're all thinking.] It's
Thanos.
BRUCE BANNER: ...And secondly, time doesn't work that way.
Changing the past doesn't change the future.
SCOTT LANG: Look, we go back, we get the stones before
Thanos gets them... Thanos doesn't have the stones. Problem
solved.
CLINT BARTON: Bingo.
NEBULA: That's not how it works.
CLINT BARTON: Well, that's what I heard.
BRUCE BANNER: What? By who? Who told you that?
RHODEY: [counting with his fingers] Star Trek, Terminator,
TimeCop, Time After Time -
SCOTT LANG: Quantum Leap -
RHODEY: A Wrinkle in Time, Somewhere in Time -
SCOTT LANG: Hot Tub Time Machine -
RHODEY: Hot Tub Time Machine. Bill and Ted's Excellent
Adventure. Basically, any movie that deals with time travel.
SCOTT LANG: Die Hard? No, it's not one...
RHODEY: This is known.
BRUCE BANNER: I don't know why everyone believes that, but
that isn't true. Think about it: If you travel to the past, that past
becomes your future. And your former present becomes the past.
Which can't now be changed by your new future...
NEBULA: Exactly.
SCOTT LANG: So... Back To The Future's a bunch of bullshit?
BRUCE BANNER: [Turning to Clint] Alright, Clint. We're going in
3... 2... 1!
[A helmet similar to Ant-Man's but white and more visible face
pops on Clint's head, and he goes quantum. Clint flies through
the quantum realm and into an opening. He grows back to normal
size, but he's at a different place, and seemingly, time.]
[Clint look around his family home, which unlike at the start of
the movie, looks a lot more alive. The helmet pops off of Clint's
head, and he looks around bewildered. He sees a baseball glove
on the ground, presumably belonging to one of his sons, and
picks it up. We hear a noise from inside the house, someone who
Clint hasn't seen for five years.]
LILA BARTON: Cooper? Where are my headphones?
CLINT BARTON: [murmuring] Lila? [The device on his hand
starts beeping, signalling the end of this visit] Lila! [He dives for
the door, but only manages to open it before he shrinks back to
go back to the future.]
[We hear footsteps coming towards where Clint has just
disappeared, and we see Lila coming down the stairs in Avril
Lavigne-like clothing, looking around, puzzled]
LILA BARTON: Dad? [She looks around] Dad?
[Lila goes back upstairs, deciding that it was just nothing]
[Cut to the Avengers Compound, we see Clint rematerialise on
the glass platform, breathing heavily and sitting on the platform.]
NATASHA ROMANOFF: Hey, hey. Look at me. You okay?
CLINT BARTON: [Holding up the baseball glove and throw it to
Stark] Yeah, it worked. It worked.
[Scene cuts to the Avengers in a room with some hologram
displays, showcasing each of the six Infinity Stones, sitting
around a table. Tony, Steve and Bruce are pacing at the front,
clearly leading the planning of the mission.]
STEVE ROGERS: Okay, so the "how" works. Now we gotta figure
out the when and the where. Almost all of us has had an
encounter with at least one of the six Infinity Stones.
TONY STARK: Well I'd substitute the word encounter for damn
well near been killed by one of the six Infinity Stones.
SCOTT LANG: I haven't, I don't even know what the hell you're all
talking about
BRUCE BANNER: Regardless, we only have enough Pym
Particles for one round trip each, and these stones have been in
a lot of different places throughout history.
TONY STARK: Our history. So, not a lot of convenient spots to
just drop in.
CLINT BARTON: Which means we have to pick our targets.
TONY STARK: Correct.
STEVE ROGERS: Let's start with the Aether. Thor, what do you
know?
[We see Thor sitting on a chair with his sunglasses on. It is
impossible to tell whether he is awake or asleep.]
NATASHA ROMANOFF: Is he asleep?
RHODEY: No, I'm pretty sure he's dead.
[Thor wakes up]
THOR: Where to start? Umm... The Aether, first, is not a stone,
someone called it a stone before. It's more of a... an angry sludge
thing, so... someones gonna need to amend that. Here's an
interesting story though, many years ago... My grandfather had
to hide the stones from the Dark Elves... [He wiggles his fingers
to imitate a spooky ghost] Wooooh, scary beings. So Jane, [An
image of Jane Foster pops up on the screen] Oh, there she is.
That's Jane... She's... an old flame of mine... She... she stuck her
hand inside a rock this one time... and then the Aether stuck
itself inside her... And, she became very, very sick. So I had to
take her to Asgard, which is where I'm from. And we had to try
and fix her. We were dating at the time, you see. I got to
introduce her to my Mother... who's dead, [Thor starts to look
broken, and seems on the verge of tears] and oh you know, Jane
and I aren't even dating anymore, these things happen though
you know, nothing last forever, [Tony starts to push him back to
his chair] I'm not done yet, the only thing permanent in life is
impermanence.
TONY STARK: Awesome. Eggs? Breakfast?
THOR: I'd like a Bloody Mary, thank you.
[Cut to the Avengers sitting around a table, eating a meal, and
Rocket is pacing on the table in front of everyone.]
ROCKET: Quill said he stole the Power Stone from Morag.
SCOTT LANG: Is that a person?
ROCKET: Morag's a planet. Quill was a person.
SCOTT LANG: A planet? Like in outer space?
ROCKET: Oh, look. It's like a little puppy, all happy and
everything. [Imitating talking to a puppy] Do you wanna go to
space? You wanna go to space, puppy? I'll get you to space.
[Cut to everyone facing Nebula in the planning room, and Nat
writing notes for their plan.]
NEBULA: Thanos found the Soul Stone on Vormir.
NATASHA ROMANOFF: [In a business-like tone] What is Vormir?
NEBULA: A dominion of death, at the very center of Celestial
existence. It's where... Thanos murdered my sister.
[Nat looks up, and an awkward silence falls upon the room. She
writes what Nebula has just said, and Scott makes to break the
awkward moment.]
SCOTT LANG: Not it.
[We see Tony and Nat lying on a table surrounded by papers, and
Bruce lying down on the floor. The Time Stone pops up on the
display.]
NATASHA ROMANOFF: That Time Stone guy...
BRUCE BANNER: Doctor Strange.
NATASHA ROMANOFF: Yeah, what kind of doctor was he?
TONY STARK: Ear-nose-throat meets rabbit from a hat.
BRUCE BANNER: Nice place in the village, though.
TONY STARK: Yeah. Sullivan Street.
BRUCE BANNER: Hmm... Bleecker.
NATASHA ROMANOFF: Wait, he lived in New York?
TONY STARK: No. He lived in Toronto.
NATASHA ROMANOFF: Guys, if you pick the right year, there are
three stones in New York.
BRUCE BANNER: [Sitting up in surprise] Shut the front door.
[Shot cuts to the holograms displaying the different location, the
Soul and Power Stones in space in 2014. the Reality Stone in
Asgard, 2013; and the Space, Mind, and Time Stones in New York
City, 2012]
STEVE ROGERS: All right. We have a plan. Six Stones, three
teams. One shot.
[He and the other Avengers walk up and look at the screens
determinedly.]
[The shot cuts to the Avengers walking in a file to the Quantum
Time machine, wearing the Quantum Suits, albeit with some
minor differences for different people. Rhodey has a bulkier
repaint of the War machine armour. ]
STEVE ROGERS: Five years ago, we lost. All of us. We lost
friends... We lost family... We lost a part of ourselves. Today, we
have a chance to take it all back. You know your teams, you
know your missions. Get the stones, get them back. One round
trip each. No mistakes. No do-overs. Most of us are going
somewhere we know. But it doesn't mean we should know what
to expect. Be careful. Look out for each other. This is the fight of
our lives. And we're gonna win. [Tony gives Steve a
look] Whatever it takes. Good luck.
ROCKET:[Refers to Steve's speaking] He's pretty good at that.
SCOTT LANG: Right? [Looks very excited]
TONY STARK: All right. You heard the man. Stroke those keys,
jolly green.
BRUCE BANNER: Tractors engaged.
ROCKET: [Addressing the shrunk Benatar in Clint's hand] You
promise to bring that back in one piece, right?
CLINT BARTON: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. I'll do my best.
ROCKET: As promises go, that was pretty lame.
NATASHA ROMANOFF: [Smiling excitedly] See you in a minute.
[They all shrink and enter the Quantum Realm, and they all split
at different intervals, going to a different place at a different time
in history.]
[The First Group which has Tony, Steve, Bruce, & Scott; travels
to New York in 2012. A previous stock shot of the Chitauri
snarling and the iconic circle take around our six Original
Avengers assembling before panning over to a side street where
Scott, Steve, Banner and Tony materialise.]
STEVE ROGERS: All right, we all have our assignments. Two
Stones uptown, one Stone, down. Stay low. Keep an eye on the
clock.
[2012 Hulk passes by them, smashing everything in his way.
Bruce puts his hand on his face, embarrassed.]
STEVE ROGERS: Feel free to smash a few things along the way.
BRUCE BANNER: I think it's gratuitous, but whatever.
[Present Bruce pretends to smash things in a sarcastic way. He
tears his shirt off, and walks over to a car. He lightly punches the
car, making a small dent, all the while making growling noises.
He picks up a motorbike and throws it at a wall, wincing as it hits
the wall.]
[Shot cuts to the Roof of the Sanctum Sanctorum where 2012 The
Ancient One protects it. Bruce tries to enter through the roof
before noticing her.]
THE ANCIENT ONE (2012): I'd be careful going that way. We just
had the floors waxed.
BRUCE BANNER: Ma'am, I'm looking for Doctor Strange.
THE ANCIENT ONE (2012): You're about... five years too early.
Stephen Strange is currently performing surgery about twenty
blocks that way. What do you want from him?
BRUCE BANNER: That, actually.
[He points towards the Eye of Agamotto where the Time Stone is
kept]
THE ANCIENT ONE (2012): Ah! I'm afraid not.
BRUCE BANNER: Sorry, but I wasn't asking.
THE ANCIENT ONE (2012): You don't wanna do this.
BRUCE BANNER: Ah, you're right, I don't. [He makes a grab at
the Eye of Agamotto] But I need that stone, and I don't have time
to beat it-
[The Ancient One (2012) pushes Bruce' astral form out of his
body. Bruce who's is now in astral form looks at The Ancient One
horrified.]
THE ANCIENT ONE (2012): Let's start over, shall we?
[Cut to an aerial shot of Asgard in 2013.Then to the prison in
Asgard, where we see the Loki from The Dark World, sitting in his
cell. Without him noticing, Rocket and Thor creep by, past the
cell. They stop at a pillar a few metres away room of where Jane
Foster is]
THOR: That's Jane.
ROCKET: All right. Here's the deal, Tubby: You're gonna charm
her and I'm gonna poke her with this thing, [He holds up a
device.] and extract the Reality Stone and get gone, lickety-split.
THOR: I'll be right back, okay? There's a wine cellar, that's just
down there. My father used to fish huge barrel of ale. I'll see if the
cellar has a couple of...
ROCKET: Hey! Hey! Aren't you drunk enough already?
[A door opens, Thor and Rocket both try to hide. We then see
ladies along with Frigga (2013) walking. Thor sees his mother.]
ROCKET: Who's the fancy broad?
THOR: It's my Mother. She dies today.
ROCKET: Oh. That's today?
THOR: I can't do this. I can't do this. I shouldn't be here. I
shouldn't have come.This was a bad idea.
ROCKET: Come here. [Standing in front of him]
THOR: No, no, no. I think I'm having...I'm having a panic attack. I
shouldn't be here...this is...this is a bad-
ROCKET: Come here. Right here.
[Rocket slaps Thor.]
ROCKET: You think you're the only one who lost people? What
do you think we're doing here? I lost the only family I ever had.
Quill, Groot, Drax, the chick with the antenna, all gone. Now, I get
you miss your Mom. But she's gone. Really gone. And there are
plenty of people who are only kinda gone. But you can help them.
So is it too much to ask that you brush the crumbs outta your
beard, make schmoopy talk to Pretty Pants, and when she's not
looking, suck out the Infinity Stone and help me get my family
back?
THOR: Okay.
ROCKET: Are you crying?
THOR: No...Yes!
ROCKET: Get it together! You can do this. You can do this. All
right?
THOR: Yes, I can.
ROCKET: Good.
THOR: I can do this. I can do it, I can't do this.
[Thor runs away.]
ROCKET: Alright, Heartbreaker. She's alone. This is our shot. [He
turns back to where Thor was moments ago] Thor? Thor!
[Cut to Morag in 2014, where we see Rhodey getting off the
Benatar as it lands.]
RHODEY: Alright. Bring it down low. Right on that line. That's it.
Down, down.
CLINT BARTON: Hey, can we hurry it up?
NATASHA ROMANOFF: Guys, chop-chop. Come on. We're on a
clock.
[Nebula walks out of the ship, apparently having directed it to its
next destination.
RHODEY: All that, is really helpful. [Hugging Natasha] Take care,
okay?
NATASHA ROMANOFF: Yeah.
RHODEY: Take that stone and come back. No messing around.
CLINT BARTON: [To Rhodey] Hey. You got this.
RHODEY: Let's get it done. Yes, sir.
NATASHA ROMANOFF: [Walking with Clint back into the
ship] See you back.
RHODEY: You guys watch each other's six.
[Clint and Nat look back and just smile.]
CLINT BARTON: Yeah.
[They walk back into the ship, and the hatch closes. The ship
takes off and speeds out of the atmosphere of Morag.]
NEBULA: The coordinates for Vormir are laid in. All they have to
do is not fall out.
[In the Benatar, Clint and Nat are sitting at the front of the ship.
The ship takes a jump through space and speeds up
tremendously. Nat and Clint look at each other.]
CLINT BARTON: We're a long way from Budapest.
[Natasha just laughs.]
[Back to Morag, where Rhodey and Nebula are standing where
we left them.]
RHODEY: Okay, so, uhh... We just wait around for this Quill guy
to show up and then he leads us to the Power Stone, is that it?
NEBULA: [Looking around] Let's take cover. We're not the only
ones in 2014 looking for the stones.
RHODEY: Wait a minute, what are you talking about right now?
Who else is looking for these stones?
NEBULA: My father, my sister... and me.
RHODEY: And you? Where are you right now?
[Cuts to a scene of Gamora (2014) and Nebula (2014) fighting
some Korbinite soldiers.]
GAMORA (2014): [Helping Nebula up] You're welcome.
NEBULA (2014): I didn't ask for your help.
GAMORA (2014): And yet, you always need it. [Nebula (2014)
laughs and Gamora's hand.] Get up. Father wants us back on the
ship.
NEBULA (2014): Why?
GAMORA (2014): He's found an Infinity Stone.
NEBULA (2014): Where?
GAMORA (2014): On a planet called Morag.
NEBULA (2014): Father's plan is finally in motion.
GAMORA (2014): One stone isn't six, Nebula.
NEBULA (2014): It’s a start.
GAMORA (2014): If he gets all of them...
[Thanos (2014) arrives, honking badass double-bladed sword in
tow and healthy coating blood of his armour.]
THANOS (2014): Ronan's located the Power Stone. I'm
dispatching you to his ship.
GAMORA (2014): He won't like that.
THANOS (2014): His alternative is death, then. [Thanos wipes his
double-bladed sword] Ronan's obsession clouds his judgement.
NEBULA (2014): We will not fail you, Father.
[Gamora (2014) rolls her eyes]
THANOS (2014): No, you won't.
NEBULA (2014): I swear...I will make you proud.
[Nebula (2014) is suddenly in pain and opens up future Nebula's
memories.]
RHODEY (Memory): We just, wait around for this Quill guy to
show up, and then he leads us to the Power Stone, is that it?
NEBULA (Memory): Let's take cover. We're not the only ones in
2014 looking for the stones.
[Nebula (2014) shuts off the memory]
GAMORA (2014): Who was that?
NEBULA (2014): I don't know...My head is splitting...I don't
know...
GAMORA (2014): Her synaptic drive was probably damaged in
battle.
[Thanos walks towards Nebula and brings his blade to her
throat.]
THANOS (2014): Ssshhh... (pointing to Nebula) Bring her to my
ship.
[Cut to present Tony Stark flying around Stark Tower in the Mark
85. He scans the interior of the tower, and sees the original
Avengers apprehending Loki, the backside of the iconic shot of
Hawkeye pointing the bow at Loki's face while the Avengers
surround him.]
TONY STARK: Got to hustle, Cap. Things look like they're just
about wrapped up here.
[Cut to Steve in Stark Tower, walking towards the elevator.]
STEVE ROGERS: Got it. I'm approaching the elevator now.
LOKI (2012): If it's all the same to you... I'll have that drink now.
TONY STARK (2012): All right. Good one. No standing around,
I'm closing up this door for later. [To 2012 Cap] By the way, feel
free to clean up.
TONY STARK: Uh, Mr. Rogers. I almost forgot that that suit [A
shot of Cap walking around in his 2012 suit] did nothing for your
ass.
STEVE ROGERS: No one asked you to look, Tony.
TONY STARK: [whispers] It's ridiculous
SCOTT LANG: I think you look great, Cap. As far as I'm
concerned, that's America's ass. [Does a patriotic salute.]
NATASHA ROMANOFF (2012): Uhh, magic wand?
TONY STARK (2012): STRIKE team's coming to secure it.
[A Hydra team including Rumlow and Sitwell enter, known at this
time as a part of SHIELD.]
SITWELL (2012): We can take that [Taking Loki's Scepter from
2012 Natasha] off your hands.
NATASHA ROMANOFF (2012): By all means. Careful with that
thing.
CLINT BARTON (2012): Unless you want your mind erased.
And not in a fun way.
SITWELL (2012): We promise to be careful.
SCOTT LANG: Who are these guys?
TONY STARK: They are SHIELD...Well, actually Hydra. But, we
didn't know that yet.
SCOTT LANG: Seriously, you didn't? I mean...they look like bad
guys.
TONY STARK: You're small, but you're talking loud.
STEVE ROGERS (2012): On my way down to coordinate search
and rescue.
LOKI (2012): [Transforming into Steve for a second in
imitation] On my way down to coordinate search and
rescue! [Transforming back] I mean, honestly! How do you think
you'll be...
THOR (2012): [Slapping on a device on Loki's mouth to make him
quiet] Shut up.
TONY STARK: All right, you're up, little buddy. [Looking at the
briefcase with the Tesseract] There's our stone.
SCOTT LANG: [Lying down on Tony's shoulder] Alright. Flick me.
[Tony flicks Scott onto his 2012 self, right into his beard. 2012
Tony then scratches his beard, dropping present Scott onto 2012
Tony's reactor.]
[All of the 2012 Avengers get in an elevator. Hulk makes to
follow, but finds the elevator full.]
THOR (2012): Whoa!
TONY STARK (2012): Whoa, whoa. Hey! Buddy. What do you
think? Maximum occupancy has been reached.
THOR (2012 ): Take the stairs.
TONY STARK (2012): Yeah. [Hulk draws his fist back right as the
elevator door closes] Stop. Stop!
[He follows through with the punch, making a dent in the wall
right where the door was.]
HULK (2012): [Pissed] Take the stairs! Hate the stairs!
TONY STARK: All right, Cap. I got our scepter in the elevator just
passing the 80th floor.
STEVE ROGERS: On it. Head to the lobby.
TONY STARK: Alright. I'll see you there.
[scene cuts to HYDRA agents in the elevator]
SITWELL (2012): Evidence secure. We're en route to Dr. List. No.
No hitches at all, Mr. Secretary.
[Elevator opens and HYDRA agents sees Steve. Steve walks in
and hits the button to continue down.]
SITWELL (2012): Captain. I thought you were coordinating search
and rescue?
STEVE ROGERS: Change of plans.
RUMLOW (2012): Hey, Cap.
STEVE ROGERS: Rumlow. [everyone starts getting suspicious
and has their guard up] I just got a call from the Secretary. I'm
gonna be running point on the scepter.
SITWELL (2012): Sir? I don't understand.
STEVE ROGERS: We got word there may be an attempt to steal
it.
RUMLOW (2012): Sorry, Cap. I can't give you the scepter.
SITWELL (2012): I'm gonna have to call the Director.
STEVE ROGERS: That's okay. Trust me. [Steve leans over to
Sitwell's ear.] Hail Hydra.
[Everyone is surprised, Steve walks out of the elevator with the
scepter and a smile.]
[Cut to the building's stairwell. The Hulk looks down at the many
stairs below him.]
HULK (2012): [Angrily] So many stairs!
[Cut to the lobby. The 2012 Avengers start to make their way out
of the building. Tony and Scott eye them undercover.]
TONY STARK: Thumbelina, do you copy? I've got eyes on the
prize. It's go-time.
SCOTT LANG: Bombs away. [Sliding down to Tony's Arc
Reactor] Is... is that Axe body spray?
TONY STARK: Yeah, I had a can just for emergencies. Relax. Can
we focus, please?
SCOTT LANG: I'm going inside you. Now.
ALEXANDER PIERCE (2012): May I ask you where you're going?
THOR (2012): To lunch and then Asgard. I'm sorry, you are?
TONY STARK (2012): Alexander Pierce. He's the man, one of the
folks behind Nick Fury.
ALEXANDER PIERCE (2012): My friends call me Mr. Secretary.
I'm gonna have to ask you to turn that prisoner over to me.
THOR (2012): Loki will be answering to Odin himself.
ALEXANDER PEIRCE (2012): Oh, he's gonna answer to us. Odin
can have what's left. And I'm gonna need that case, that's been
SHIELD property for over 70 years.
HYDRA AGENT: Hand over the case, Stark.
TONY STARK: [To present Scott through radio] All right, move it,
Stuart Little. Things are getting dicey up here. Let's go.
TONY STARK(2012): I'm not gonna argue who's got the higher
authority here, all right?
SCOTT LANG: You promise me you won't die?
TONY STARK: You're only giving me a mild cardiac dysrhythmia.
SCOTT LANG: That doesn't sound mild.
ALEXANDER PIERCE (2012): I need the case.
TONY STARK (2012): I know you got a lotta pull. I'm just saying...
ALEXANDER PIERCE (2012): Okay. Then give me the case.
TONY STARK: Do it, Lang!
TONY STARK (2012): Get your hands off!
TONY STARK: Window's closing. Pull my pin!
SCOTT LANG: Here goes!
[Ant-Man pulls off Stark 2012's reactor, and Tony (2012) drops
the case]
ALEXANDER PIERCE (2012): Stark? Stark!
[Stark 2012 falls down to the ground]
ALEXANDER PIERCE (2012): Look, he's convulsing. Give him air!
Medic!
TONY STARK: MEDIC! You guys, some help!
ALEXANDER PIERCE (2012): Stark, you--- your chest machine?
[Ant-Man pushes the case, Loki looks at case, Tony Stark grabs
the case.]
TONY STARK: Good job. Meet me in the alley. I'm gonna grab a
quick slice.
[Suddenly, Hulk 2012 pushes Tony to the ground and the
Tesseract slides to Loki]
HULK (2012): NO MORE STAIRS!!!!
[Everyone runs from Hulk's rampage, Loki 2012 grabs the
Tesseract and teleports it away.]
THOR (2012): You'll be fine, Stark. Stay with us! I'll try something,
okay? I have no idea if it's gonna work.
[Thor 2012 uses the Mjolnir as the defibrillator on Tony Stark
2012]
THOR (2012): YES!
TONY STARK (2012): That worked a treat. That was so crazy!
THOR (2012): I had no idea if that was gonna work.
TONY STARK (2012): The case?
THOR (2012): The case. It's, uhh... Where's the case? Where's
Loki? Loki!
SCOTT LANG: That wasn't supposed to happen, was it?
TONY STARK: Oh, we blew it.
THOR (2012): Loki!
[Cut to a walkway several floors up. Steve is having trouble on
his communicator.]
STEVE: Tony, what's going on? Tell me you found that cube. [He
looks up and groans.] Oh, you gotta be shitting me.
[In front of him, Steve sees his 2012 self looking back]
STEVE ROGERS (2012): I have eyes on Loki. 14th floor.
STEVE ROGERS: [Puts the case down] I am not Loki. And I don't
wanna hurt you.
[2012 Steve engages and the two Captain Americas begin to
duel.]
STEVE ROGERS (2012): I can do this all day.
STEVE ROGERS: [Standing up] Yeah, I know. I know.
[Both Rogers' frisbee their shield's at one another which clang
away as they brawl, inadvertently kicking away the case
containing the scepter which falls down a few levels. 2012 Steve
gets the upper hand on Future Steve's as they both fall down to
the same level as the scepter. Future Steve's locket of Peggy falls
out, Steve (2012) notices it.]
STEVE ROGERS (2012): Where did you get this?
[Steve (2012) has future Steve in a chokehold]
STEVE ROGERS: Bucky... is... alive!
STEVE ROGERS (2012): What?
[Future Steve takes the chance to sucker punch his counterpart,
grab the scepter and knock Steve (2012) out, gets up and stares
at him]
STEVE: That is America's ass.
[Scene cuts back to Bruce and The Ancient One (2012). Bruce
Banner tries reasoning with the Ancient One to let him have the
Time Stone.]
BRUCE BANNER: Please, please!
THE ANCIENT ONE (2012): I'm sorry, I can't help you, Bruce. If I
give up the Time Stone to help your Reality, I'm dooming my
own.
BRUCE BANNER: With all due respect, I'm not sure the science
really supports that.
[The Ancient One creates a projection with a long ray that
simulates the flow of time.]
THE ANCIENT ONE (2012): The Infinity Stones create what you
experience as the flow of time. Remove one stone and that flow
splits. [Shows black stream indicating a point of
divergence] Now, this may benefit your reality, but my new
one…not so much. In this new branched Reality, without our
chief weapon against the forces of darkness, our world will be
overrun. Millions will suffer. So, tell me, Doctor, can your science
prevent all that?
BRUCE BANNER: No, but we can erase it. Because once we are
done with the stones, we can return each one to its own timeline
at the moment it was taken. So, chronologically, in that reality, it
never left.
[Bruce's astral form takes the projection of the removed Time
Stone, replaces it back amongst the other five, and the doomed
alternate dimension fades away, illustrating his point.]
THE ANCIENT ONE (2012): [still not convinced.] But you are
leaving out the most important part. In order to return the stones,
you have to survive.
BRUCE BANNER: We will. I will. I promise.
THE ANCIENT ONE (2012): I can't risk this Reality on a promise. It
is the duty of the Sorcerer Supreme to protect the Time Stone.
BRUCE BANNER: Then, why the hell did Strange give it away?
THE ANCIENT ONE (2012): [Surprised] What did you say?
BRUCE BANNER: Strange, he gave it away. He gave it to Thanos.
THE ANCIENT ONE (2012): Willingly?
BRUCE BANNER: Yes.
THE ANCIENT ONE (2012): ...Why?
BRUCE BANNER: I have no idea. Maybe he made a mistake.
THE ANCIENT ONE (2012): Or I did. [She returns to Banner
control of his Hulk body and opens the Eye of Agamotto,
revealing the Time Stone] Strange is meant to be the best of us.
BRUCE BANNER: So he must have done it for a reason.
THE ANCIENT ONE (2012): I fear you might be right. [gives him
the Time Stone]
BRUCE BANNER: Thank you.
THE ANCIENT ONE (2012): I'm counting on you, Bruce. We all
are.
[Cut to Thanos (2014), Nebula (2014), Gamora (2014) and Ebony
Maw (2014) on the Sanctuary II.]
THANOS (2014): [To Ebony Maw] Run diagnostics. Show me her
memory file.
EBONY MAW (2014): Sire, the file appears entangled. It was a
memory, but not hers. There's another consciousness sharing
her network...another Nebula.
THANOS (2014): Impossible.
EBONY MAW (2014): This duplicate carries a time stamp... from
nine years in the future.
THANOS (2014): Where is this other Nebula?
EBONY MAW (2014): In our solar system. On Morag.
THANOS (2014): Can you access her?
EBONY MAW (2014): Yes. The two are linked.
THANOS (2014): Search the duplicate's memories for Infinity
Stones.
[Memory of the meeting with all the Avengers starts playing]
BRUCE BANNER (2023): And these stones have been in a lot of
different places throughout history.
TONY STARK (2023): Our history. So, not a lot of convenient
spots to just drop in.
CLINT BARTON (2023): Which means we have to pick our targets.
TONY STARK (2023): Correct.
[End memory.]
THANOS (2014): [To Ebony Maw] Freeze image.
GAMORA (2014): Terrans.
THANOS (2014): Avengers. Unruly wretches. What's that
reflection? Amplify this, Maw.
GAMORA (2014): [Looking at a reflection of Nebula (2023)] I don't
understand. Two Nebulas.
THANOS (2014): No. The same Nebula. From two different times.
Set course for Morag. Scan the duplicate's memories. I want to
see everything.
[Cut back to Thor and Rocket in Asgard, 2013]
FRIGGA (2013): My ladies, I'll see you after. Go on.
[Thor tries not to get caught behind a large post, but gets
shocked when he sees his mother behind him]
FRIGGA (2013): [To Thor] What are you doing?
THOR: Aah!!!
FRIGGA (2013): Aah!!! You're better off leaving the sneaking to
your brother.
THOR: Yeah, I was simply just going for a walk, and uh... [Trying
to hide his belly]
FRIGGA (2013): What are you wearing?
THOR: I always wear this. This is one of my favorites.
[Frigga puts her hand on Thor's face and takes a good look at
him}
FRIGGA (2013): What's wrong with your eye?
THOR: Oh, my eye. That's... you remember the Battle of
Haroquin? When I got hit in the face with a broadsword?
FRIGGA (2013): You're not the Thor I know at all, are you?
THOR: [Pretending] Yes, I am.
FRIGGA (2013): The future hasn't been kind to you, has it?
THOR: I didn't say I'm from the future.
FRIGGA (2013): I was raised by witches, boy. I see with more
than eyes, and you know that.
[Thor attempts to hold back his tears and fails miserably.]
THOR: I am totally, totally from the future.
FRIGGA (2013): Yes, you are.
THOR: I really need to talk to you.
FRIGGA (2013): We can talk.
[They both hug each other.]
[Scene cuts to Jane Foster waking up while Rocket sneaks
behind her to extract the Aether]
[Scene cuts back to Thor and Frigga's conversation.]
THOR: His head was over there... His body over there... What was
the point? I was too late. I was just standing there. Some idiot
with an axe.
FRIGGA (2013): You're no idiot. You're here aren't you? Seeking
counsel from the wisest person in Asgard.
THOR: I guess, yeah.
FRIGGA (2013): Idiot? No. A failure? Absolutely.
THOR: That's a little bit harsh.
FRIGGA (2013): You do know what that makes you? Just like
everyone else.
THOR: I'm not supposed to be like everyone else, am I?
FRIGGA (2013): Everyone fails at who they are supposed to be,
Thor. The measure of a person, of a hero, is how well they
succeed at being who they are.
THOR: I really missed you, Mum.
[scene cuts to Rocket running away from the Asgardian soldiers]
ROCKET: Thor! I got it!
ASGARDIAN SOLDIER (2013): Get that rabbit!
THOR: Ma, I have to tell you something.
FRIGGA (2013): No, son. You don't. You're here to repair your
future, not mine.
THOR: But this is about your future.
FRIGGA (2013): It's none of my business.
ROCKET: Hey. You must be Mom. I got the thing. Come on, we
got to move.
THOR: I wish we had more time.
FRIGGA (2013): No, this was a gift. And you're going to be the
man you're meant to be.
THOR: I love you, Mom.
FRIGGA (2013): I love you. And eat a salad.
ROCKET: Come on. We gotta go.
FRIGGA (2013): [whispers] Goodbye.
ROCKET: Three... two...
THOR: No, wait!
[Thor holds out his hand]
ROCKET: [To Frigga] Wh- what am I looking at?
FRIGGA (2013): Oh, sometimes it takes a second.
[Thor summons Mjolnir.]
THOR: [Happy and a little bit surprised] I'm still worthy.
["Come And Get Your Love" starts playing in the background.]
ROCKET: Oh, boy.
THOR: Goodbye, Mom.
FRIGGA (2013): [whispers] Goodbye.
[Scene cuts to Quill on Morag dancing to "Come And Get Your
Love", we then pan over to Rhodey and Nebula hiding in the
background watching Quill dance to their perspective without
music.]
RHODEY: So he's an idiot?
NEBULA: Yeah.
[Rhodey knocks out Quill and Nebula rummages around to take
Quill's tool.]
RHODEY: What's that?
NEBULA: The tool of a thief.
[Nebula uses the tool to open the door that leads to The Orb
A.K.A The Power Stone. Nebula tries to walk in but is stopped by
Rhodey.]
RHODEY: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa...This is the part where
spikes come out with skeletons on the end and everything...
NEBULA: What are you talking about?
RHODEY: When you break into a place called the temple of the
Power Stone, There's gonna be a bunch of booby traps–
[Nebula just shakes her head and walks in.]
RHODEY: Okay. All right. Go ahead.
[Nebula forces her hand inside the force field protecting The Orb
while it melts away the exterior plating on her arm. She
successfully retrieves The Orb and hands it to Rhodey all the
while Rhodey watched the whole thing happened.]
NEBULA: I wasn't always like this.
RHODEY: Me either. But we work with what we got, right?
[They just both look at each other solemnly.]
RHODEY: Sync up. [They both suit up.] Three.. two.. one...
[Rhodey is the only one who disappears while Nebula is left
behind unable to move, then she riddled with pain on her head.
She falls to the ground.]
[Sanctuary II. 2014 Nebula is being scanned in synch with her
future self. A memory is played, coming from future Nebulas
head.]
BRUCE (Memory): You murdered trillions!
THANOS (Memory): You should be grateful.
NATASHA (Memory): Where are the stones?
THANOS (Memory): Gone. Reduced to atoms.
BRUCE (Memory): You used them two days ago.
THANOS (Memory): I used the stones to destroy the stones. It
nearly killed me. But the work is done. It always will be. I am
inevitable.
[Memory pauses.]
GAMORA (2014): What did you do to them?
THANOS (2014): Nothing. Yet. They're not trying to stop
something I'm going to do in our time. They're trying to undo
something I've already done in theirs.
GAMORA (2014): The stones...
THANOS (2014): I found them all. I won. Tipped the cosmic scales
to balance.
[Thanos (2014) caress Gamora (2014) and she kneels down]
EBONY MAW (2014): This is your future.
THANOS (2014): It's my destiny.
[Maw resumes playing the memory]
NEBULA (Memory): My father is many things. A liar is not one of
them.
THANOS (Memory): Thank you, Daughter. Perhaps I treated you
too harshly...
[Thanos gets beheaded in the memory, Gamora (2014) is
shocked and stands up]
THANOS (2014): And that, is destiny fulfilled.
EBONY MAW (2014): [Dangerous voice.] Sire, your Daughter...
[Maw (2014) telekinetically wraps a chain around Nebula (2014).]
NEBULA (2014): No!
EBONY MAW (2014): ...is a traitor.
NEBULA (2014): That's not me. It's not. I could never... I would
never betray you. Never.
[Thanos (2014) releases the chain around Nebula (2014) neck and
holds her head in his palm]
THANOS (2014): I know. And you'll have the chance to prove it.
[Thanos (2014) makes sure Nebula cannot travel back to 2023.
Nebula is stuck in 2014.]
NEBULA: No! He knows! [Runs back to the ship and gets on the
comms.] Barton? Barton, come in. Romanoff? Come in, we have
a problem. Come on! Come in, we have a prob....Thanos knows.
Thanos… He knows.
[Nebula looks up in horror just to be abducted by the Sanctuary
II. The scene cuts to Steve, who has just defeated himself,
jumping down from a building with the scepter]
TONY STARK: Cap...
[He turns around to see Tony and Scott sitting in a broken car.]
TONY STARK: Sorry, buddy. We got a problem.
SCOTT LANG: Huh. Yeah, we do.
STEVE ROGERS: Well, what are we gonna do now?
TONY STARK: You know what? Give me a break, Steve. I just got
hit in the head with a Hulk.
SCOTT LANG: You said that we had one shot. This, this was our
shot. We shot it. It's shot. Six stones or nothing. Six stones or
nothing.
TONY STARK: You're repeating yourself, you know that? You're
repeating yourself.
SCOTT LANG: You're repeating yourself. You're repeating
yourself.
TONY STARK: No!
SCOTT LANG: No. No.
TONY STARK: Come on.
SCOTT LANG: You never wanted a time heist, you went on board
with the time heist...
TONY STARK: I dropped the ball.
SCOTT LANG: You ruined the time heist.
TONY STARK: Is that what I did?
SCOTT LANG: Yeah!
STEVE ROGERS: Are there any other options with the Tesseract?
SCOTT LANG: No, no, no. There's no other options. There's no
do-overs. We're not going anywhere else. We have one particle
left. Each. That's it, alright? We use that... Bye, bye. You're not
going home.
STEVE ROGERS: Yeah, well if we don't try, then no one else is
going home, either.
TONY STARK: I got it. There's another way. To retake the
Tesseract and acquire new particles. We'll stroll down memory
lane. Military installation, Garden State.
STEVE ROGERS: When were they both there?
TONY STARK: They were there at a...I've a vaguely exact idea.
STEVE ROGERS: How vague?
SCOTT LANG: What are you talking about?Where are we going?
TONY STARK: I know for a fact they were there...
SCOTT LANG: Who's they? What are we doing?
TONY STARK: And I know how I know.
SCOTT LANG: Guys, what's up? What is it?
TONY STARK: Well, it looks like we're improvising.
SCOTT LANG: Right. What are we improvising?
TONY STARK: Scott, get this back to the compound.
TONY STARK: Suit up.
SCOTT LANG: What's in New Jersey?
TONY STARK: 0-4, 0-4... - Uhh, 0-7.
STEVE ROGERS: 0-7. - Excuse me...
TONY STARK: 1-9-7-0.
SCOTT LANG: Are you sure? - Cap. Captain. Steve, sorry,
America. Rogers. Look, if you do this, and this doesn't work,
you're not coming back.
TONY STARK: Thanks for the pep talk, pissant. [To Steve] Do you
trust me?
STEVE ROGERS: I do.
TONY STARK: Your call.
STEVE ROGERS: Here we go.
[Cut to Steve and Tony in New Jersey, 1970]
OUR WATCHER INFORMANT, STAN LEE: [Driving past Steve and
Tony] Hey, man! Make love, not war!
TONY STARK: Clearly, you weren't actually born here, right?
STEVE ROGERS: The idea of me was.
TONY STARK: Right. Well, imagine you're SHIELD, running a
quasi-fascistic intelligence organization. Where do you hide it?
STEVE ROGERS: In plain sight.
[Tony and Steve are in an elevator with a lady]
TONY STARK: [Leaving the elevator] Good luck on your mission,
Captain.
STEVE ROGERS: [Waiting for another floor] Good luck on your
project, doctor.
ELEVATOR LADY: You're new here?
STEVE ROGERS: Not exactly.
[Cut to Tony in what seems to be a lab area and he is looking for
the tesseract]
TONY STARK: [Grabbing Tesseract] Gotcha. Back in the game.
HOWARD STARK: Arnim, you in there? Arnim? Hey! Door's this
way, pal.
TONY STARK: Oh, yeah.
HOWARD STARK: I'm looking for Dr. Zola. Have you seen him?
TONY STARK: Yeah, no, Dr. Zol... No, I haven't seen a soul.
HOWARD STARK: Pardon me. Do I know you?
TONY STARK: No, sir. I'm, a... visitor from MIT.
HOWARD STARK: Huh. MIT. Got a name?
TONY STARK: Uh...Howard.
HOWARD STARK: Well, that'll be easy to remember.
TONY STARK: Howard... Potts.
HOWARD STARK: Well, I'm Howard Stark. [Holds out hand to
shake.]
TONY STARK: Hi.
HOWARD STARK: Shake it, don't pull it.
TONY STARK: Yeah...
HOWARD STARK: You look a little green around the gills there,
Potts.
TONY STARK: I'm fine. Just, long hours.
HOWARD STARK: Wanna get some air? Hello, Potts.
TONY STARK: Yeah. That would be swell.
HOWARD STARK: That way.
TONY STARK: Okay.
HOWARD STARK: Need your briefcase?
HOWARD STARK: You're not one of those beatniks, are ya,
Potts?
[Cut to a younger Hank Pym in his laboratory.]
CAPTAIN STEVENS (STEVE ROGERS): Hello. Dr. Pym?
HANK PYM: That would be the number that you called. Yes.
CAPTAIN STEVENS (STEVE ROGERS): This is Captain Stevens
from shipping. We have a package for you.
HANK PYM: Bring it up.
CAPTAIN STEVENS (STEVE ROGERS): Well, that's the thing, sir.
We can't.
HANK PYM: I'm confused. I thought that was your job.
CAPTAIN STEVENS (STEVE ROGERS): Well, it's just... Sir, the
box is glowing and, to be honest, some of our mail guys aren't
feeling that great.
HANK PYM: They didn't open it, did they?
CAPTAIN STEVENS (STEVE ROGERS): Yeah, they did. You better
get down here.
[We then see Pym running down a hallway]
HANK PYM: Excuse me! Out of the way!
[cut back to Howard and Tony]
TONY STARK: So, flowers and sauerkraut. You got a big date
tonight?
HOWARD STARK: My wife's expecting. And, uh... Too much time
in the office.
TONY STARK: Congratulations.
HOWARD STARK: Thanks. Hold this, will you?
TONY STARK: Yeah, sure. How far along is she?
HOWARD STARK: I don't know... uh...She's at the point where
she can't stand the sound of my chewing. I guess I'll be eating
dinner in the pantry again.
TONY STARK: I have a little girl.
HOWARD STARK: A girl would be nice. Less of a chance she'd
turn out exactly like me.
TONY STARK: What'd be so awful about that?
HOWARD STARK: Let's just say that the greater good has rarely
outweighed my own self-interests.
[cut to elevator lady talking to security guards about Tony and
Captain America looking fishy]
SECURITY OFFICER: And you've never seen these two men
before?
ELEVATOR LADY: No, I've got an eye for this. The two of them
looked fishy.
SECURITY OFFICER: Can you describe them?
ELEVATOR LADY: Well, one of them had a hippie beard.
SECURITY OFFICER: Hippie? Like Bee Gees or Mungo Jerry?
ELEVATOR LADY: Definitely Mungo Jerry.
SECURITY OFFICER: Yeah, this is Chesler. I need every available
MPs on sub-level 6. We have a potential breach.
[Tony and Howard still talking to each other]
TONY STARK: So, where are you at with names?
HOWARD STARK: Well, if it's a boy, my wife likes Almanzo.
TONY STARK: Might wanna let that stew on. You got time.
HOWARD STARK: Let me ask you a question. When your kid was
born...were you nervous?
TONY STARK: Wildly. Yeah.
HOWARD STARK: Did you feel qualified? Like you had any idea
how to successfully operate that thing?
TONY STARK: I literally pieced it together as I went along, I
thought about what my Dad did, and...
HOWARD STARK: My old man, he never met a problem he
couldn't solve with a belt.
TONY STARK: I thought my dad was tough on me. And now,
looking back, I just remember the good stuff, you know. He did
drop the odd pearl.
HOWARD STARK: Yeah? Like what?
TONY STARK: "No amount of money ever bought a second of
time."
HOWARD STARK: Smart guy.
TONY STARK: He did his best.
HOWARD STARK: Let me tell you. That kid's not even here
yet, and there's nothing I wouldn't do for him. Good to meet you,
Potts.
TONY STARK: Yeah, Howard...Everything's gonna be all
right. Thank you for everything you've done for this country.
HOWARD STARK: Jarvis, have we ever met that guy?
EDWIN JARVIS: You meet a lot of people, sir.
HOWARD STARK: Seems very familiar. Weird beard.
[2014 Nebula has captured 2023 Nebula and 2014 Nebula is
fighting her future self.]
NEBULA (2014): You're weak.
NEBULA: I'm you.
[Nebula (2014) throws a punch straight at Present Nebula.
Gamora (2014) walks into the room.]
NEBULA: You can stop this. You know you want to. Did you see
what happens in the future? Thanos finds the Soul Stone. You
wanna know how he does that? You wanna know what he does
to you?
NEBULA (2014): That's enough. You disgust me. But that doesn't
mean you're useless.
[Nebula (2014) steals the golden plate on the side of present
nebula´s face and wears it herself.]
NEBULA (2014): How do I look?
[Scene cuts to Vormir 2014 where Natasha and Clint arrives].
CLINT BARTON: Wow... Under different circumstances, this
would be totally awesome.
[Natasha and Clint starts walking towards the mountain and
climb it.]
NATASHA ROMANOFF: I bet the raccoon didn't have to climb a
mountain.
CLINT BARTON: Technically, he's not a raccoon, you know.
NATASHA ROMANOFF: Whatever. He eats garbage
RED SKULL (2014): Welcome.
[Natasha and Clint draws their weapons.]
RED SKULL (2014): Natasha, daughter of Ivan. Clint, son of Edith.
NATASHA ROMANOFF: Who are you?
RED SKULL (2014): Consider me a guide. To you, and to all who
seek the Soul Stone.
NATASHA ROMANOFF: Oh, good. You tell us where it is. Then
we'll be on our way.
RED SKULL (2014): Ah, liebchen... If only it were that easy.
[Red Skull leads Clint and Natasha to the cliff]
RED SKULL (2014): What you seek lies in front of you... as does
what you fear.
NATASHA ROMANOFF: The stone is down there.
RED SKULL (2014): For one of you. For the other... In order to
take the stone, you must lose that which you love. An everlasting
exchange. A soul, for a soul.
[scene cuts to Natasha sitting on a log while Clint watches the
Stonekeeper.]
CLINT BARTON: How's it going? Jesus...Maybe he's making this
shit up.
NATASHA ROMANOFF: No. I don't think so.
CLINT BARTON: Why, 'cause he knows your Daddy's name?
NATASHA ROMANOFF: I didn't. Thanos left here with the stone
without his daughter. It's not a coincidence.
CLINT BARTON: Yeah.
NATASHA ROMANOFF: Whatever it takes.
CLINT BARTON: Whatever it takes.
[Natasha stands up.]
NATASHA ROMANOFF: If we don't get that stone, billions of
people stay dead.
CLINT BARTON: Then I guess we both know who it's gotta be.
NATASHA ROMANOFF: I guess we do.
[Clint holds Natasha's hand and she reciprocates and they look
at each other]
CLINT BARTON: I'm starting to think, we've been different people
here, Natasha.
NATASHA ROMANOFF: For the last five years I've been trying to
do one thing: Get to right here. That's all it's been about. Bringing
everybody back.
CLINT BARTON: Oh, don't you get all decent on me now.
NATASHA ROMANOFF: What, you think I wanna do it? I'm trying
to save your life, you idiot.
CLINT BARTON: Yeah well, I don't want you to, because
I...Natasha, you know what I've done. You know what I've
become.
NATASHA ROMANOFF: I don't judge people on their worst
mistakes.
CLINT BARTON: Maybe you should.
NATASHA ROMANOFF: You didn't.
CLINT BARTON: You're a pain in my ass, you know that?
[Both Clint and Natasha lean their heads against each other]
CLINT BARTON: Okay. You win.
[Clint smiles and knocks Natasha to the ground]
CLINT BARTON: Tell my family I love them.
[Natasha returns the favor by tackling Clint to the ground]
NATASHA ROMANOFF: You tell them yourself.
[Natasha electrocutes Clint and she runs towards the cliff. Clint
gets up and shoots an explosive arrow knocking her down. Clint
then runs towards the cliff and jumps. Natasha jumps after him
and hooks him up to a grappling hook]
CLINT BARTON: Damn you!
NATASHA ROMANOFF: Let me go.
CLINT BARTON: No. Please, no
NATASHA ROMANOFF: It's okay.
CLINT BARTON: Please... No!
[Natasha kicks the wall, falls off the rope, and plummets to the
ground. The shot shows her body on the ground, dead. A boom
in the sky sends Clint in a pool of water with the Soul Stone in
his hand. He hits the ground out of sadness. His Quantum Suit
activates and he shrinks back to the present day, soon joined by
the others returning from their journeys.]
[Cut to the Avengers HQ and the Quantum platform everyone
looks around to see all the recovered stones]
BRUCE BANNER: Did we get them all?
RHODEY: You telling me this'll actually work?
[There's a pause as everyone starts to realise someone is
missing]
BRUCE BANNER: Clint, where's Nat?
[The silence from Clint tells them all they need to know. The
mission was completed but at a dire cost. Sadness overtakes
everyone. Bruce falls to his knees and pounds the floor in grief.]
[Cut to outside HQ. Lakeside, Tony, Steve, Thor, Clint, and Bruce
are mourning their fallen teammate and friend]
TONY STARK: Do we know if she had family?
STEVE ROGERS: Yeah. Us.
THOR: (confused) What?
TONY STARK: I just asked him a question...
THOR: Yeah, you're acting like she's dead. Why are we acting like
she's dead? We have the stones, right? As long as we have the
stones, Cap, we can bring her back, isn't that
right? [GROWLING.] So stop this shit. We're the Avengers, get it
together.
CLINT BARTON: We can't get her back.
THOR: Wha- what?
CLINT BARTON: It can't be undone. It can't.
[Thor dryly laughs.]
THOR: I'm sorry. No offense, but you're a very earthly being.
Okay? We're talking about space magic. And "can't" seems very
definitive don't you think?
CLINT BARTON: (to Thor) Look, I know that I'm way outside my
paygrade here. But she still isn't here, is she?
THOR: Now that's my point...
CLINT BARTON: It can't... be undone. Or that's at least what the,
great floating guy had to say. (shouts) Maybe you wanna go talk
to him? Okay? Go grab your hammer, and you go fly and you talk
to him!
[Clint's anger is quickly replaced with grief]
CLINT BARTON: It was supposed to be me. She sacrificed her life
for that goddamned stone. She bet her life on it.
[In a burst of anger, Bruce grabs a bench and hurls it clear
across the lake. His anger spent, he turns to the others with a
resigned look on his face]
BRUCE BANNER: She's not coming back. We have to make it
worth it. We have to.
STEVE ROGERS: We will.
[Cut to inside the Avenger's Lab. Tony carefully places the
stones in the gauntlet he made while Bruce and Rocket watches.
With nervous precision, Tony manipulates the machine and
carefully places all six stones into the gauntlet]
ROCKET: Boom!
[Tony and Bruce jump a bit, and quickly groan at Rocket's joke.
Scene cuts to another room with the new finished gauntlet.
Everyone is gathered around it.]
ROCKET: All right. The glove's ready. Question is, who's gonna
snap their freaking fingers?
THOR: I'll do it.
SCOTT LANG: Excuse me?
THOR: It's okay.
EVERYONE: (holding up Thor) No, no, no, whoa. Stop. Stop. Wait
a sec. Hey, hey...
STEVE ROGERS: Wait, wait, Thor, just wait. We haven't decided
who's gonna put that on yet.
THOR: I'm sorry. What, we're just sitting around waiting for the
right opportunity?
SCOTT LANG: We should at least discuss it.
THOR: No, no, sitting here staring at that thing is not gonna bring
everybody back. I'm the strongest Avenger, okay? So this
responsibility falls upon me. It's my duty.
TONY STARK: It's not about that...
THOR: (hushes everyone up) It's not that... Stop it! Just let me!
(he tears up) Just let me do it. Just let me do something good.
Something right.
TONY STARK : Look...It's not just the fact that that glove is
channeling enough energy to light up a continent, I'm telling you,
you're in no condition.
THOR: What do you... What do you think is coursing through my
veins right now?
RHODEY: Cheez Whiz?
THOR: Lightning.
TONY STARK: Yeah.
BRUCE: Lightning won't help you, pal. It's gotta be me.
[Thor lets go of Tony]
BRUCE BANNER: You saw what those stones did to Thanos. It
almost killed him. None of you could survive.
STEVE ROGERS: How do we know you will?
BRUCE BANNER: We don't. But the radiation's mostly
gamma. [He takes a good look at the gauntlet] It's like...uh...I was
made for this.
[Nebula (2014) sneaks off to the Quantum portal and activates it]
TONY STARK: Good to go, yeah?
BRUCE BANNER: Let's do it.
TONY STARK: You remember... everyone Thanos snapped away
five years ago and just bringing them back to now, today. Don't
change anything from the last five years.
BRUCE BANNER: Got it.
[Everyone gets ready and suits up]
TONY STARK: F.R.I.D.A.Y., do me a favor and activate Barn Door
Protocol. Will you?
F.R.I.D.A.Y.: Yes, boss.
[Avengers facility goes on lockdown]
BRUCE BANNER: Everybody comes home.
[Bruce puts on the gauntlet, which nanobotically expands to fit
his hand, and the power surge overwhelms him. He grunts in
pain.]
THOR: Take it off! Take it off!
STEVE ROGERS: No, wait. Bruce, are you okay?
TONY STARK: Talk to me, Banner.
BRUCE BANNER: I'm okay. I'm okay.
[Thor gives a double thumbs up, scene cuts to Nebula (2014)
opening the Quantum Tunnel and brings the Sanctuary II to the
present.]
[Bruce screams, fighting through the intense pain coursing
through his body courtesy of the gauntlet, and manages to snap
his fingers. He faints and the gauntlet slides off his arm, Clint
kicks it away]
STEVE ROGERS: Bruce!
TONY STARK: Don't move him.
BRUCE ROGERS: [Bruce holds onto Steve's arm] Did it work?
THOR: Worth a shot. It's over. It's okay.
[Scott walks towards the outside windows and sees plants and
birds. Clint hears his phone ringing and sees it's his wife calling]
CLINT BARTON: (struggling to speak from sheer
happiness) Honey. Honey.
SCOTT LANG: Guys... I think it worked!
[Bruce opens his eyes and sees the Sanctuary II up in the sky
and a single missile heading towards the base blowing away
Scott away. Then a continuous array of missiles destroys the
base completely and everyone sinks below to the underground.]
[The camera pans over to see Bruce holding up tons of debris
from collapsing on top of the other Avengers with his one good
arm. Some debris is stuck on top of Rocket.]
ROCKET: I can't breathe. I can't breathe! I can't breathe.
RHODEY: Canopy. Canopy. Canopy. [Rhodey gets out of his
damaged suit]
BRUCE BANNER: Rhodey, Rocket, get outta here!
[Rhodey crawls over to help Rocket while taking a rebar as
leverage to lift the debris off Rocket]
ROCKET: Hurry up! Hurry up! Come on!
[Rhodey gets Rocket out and they both sigh in relief]
BRUCE BANNER: Rhodey!
[A flood engulfs both Rhodey and Rocket]
[Scene cuts to Scott who survives the blast by shrinking.]
RHODEY: Mayday, mayday! Does anybody copy? We're in the
lower level, it's flooding!
SCOTT LANG: What?
RHODEY: We're drowning! Does anybody copy? Mayday!
SCOTT LANG: Wait! I'm here! I'm here, can you hear me?
[Scene cuts to Clint in the sewer system and trying to get his
bearings. He flashes a light upwards to see what happened.]
CLINT BARTON: Cap?
[Clint finds the gauntlet is with him but senses he's not alone
down there. He shoots an arrow with light towards the dark
tunnel and finds hordes of Outriders.]
CLINT: [under his breath] Damn.
[Clint takes the gauntlet and runs towards the opposite direction
while the Outriders chase after him.]
[Scene cuts to the Sanctuary II and it beams Thanos (2014) fully
armoured to the ground. Nebula walks towards him.]
THANOS (2014): Daughter.
NEBULA (2014): Yes, Father. So, this is the future. Well done.
THANOS (2014): So, this is the future. Well done.
[Nebula (2014) takes off the orange plate on her head and throws
it away]
NEBULA (2014): Thank you, Father. They suspected nothing.
[Thanos (2014) plants his double-bladed sword on the ground,
takes off his helmet and places on top of the sword's edge.]
THANOS (2014): The arrogant never do.
[Thanos then sits down]
THANOS (2014): Go. Find the stones. Bring them to me.
NEBULA (2014): What will you do?
THANOS (2014): Wait.
[Nebula (2014) proceeds to go find the stones and the camera
pans over the Sanctuary II and we see Gamora (2014) watching.
Gamora (2014) heads over to where Nebula is being held
prisoner.]
GAMORA (2014): Tell me something. In the future, what happens
to you and me?
NEBULA: I tried to kill you. Several times.
[Gamora (2014) rolls her eyes]
NEBULA: But eventually, we become friends. We become sisters.
[Gamora (2014) holds out her hand.]
GAMORA (2014): Come on. We can stop him.
[Nebula takes it]
[Scene cuts to Tony walking towards Steve who's unconscious
on the ground.]
TONY STARK: Come on, buddy. Wake up. That's my man. [He
has Cap's shield.]You lose this again, I'm keeping it.
STEVE ROGERS: What happened?
TONY STARK: We messed with time. It tends to mess back. You'll
see.
[Tony helps Steve on his feet. They walk up to join Thor, who has
been observing Thanos (2014) from a distance.]
TONY STARK: What's he been doing?
THOR: Absolutely nothing.
STEVE ROGERS: Where are the stones?
TONY STARK: Somewhere under all this. All I know is he doesn't
have them.
STEVE ROGERS: So we keep it that way.
THOR: You know it's a trap, right?
TONY STARK: Yeah. And I don't much care.
THOR: Good. Just as long we are all in agreement. [Thunder
cracks as Thor stretches out both hands to summon both
Stormbreaker and Mjolnir (2013). His casual clothes transform
into his armour and cape, with his beard getting some braid
treatment.] Let's kill him properly this time.
[The Big Three walk over to confront Thanos face to face]
THANOS (2014): You could not live with your own failure. And
where did that bring you? Back to me. I thought by eliminating
half of life, the other half would thrive. But you’ve shown me
that’s impossible. And as long as there are those that remember
what was, there will always be those that are unable to accept
what can be. They will resist.
TONY STARK: Yep. We're all kinds of stubborn.
THANOS (2014): I'm thankful. Because now, I know what I must
do. [stands up] I will shred this universe down to its last
atom. [Thanos (2014) puts on his helmet] And then...With the
stones you've collected for me, create a new one. Teeming with
life, but knows not what it has lost but only what it has been
given. [Thor lights himself up.] A grateful universe.
STEVE ROGERS: Born out of blood.
THANOS (2014): They'll never know it. Because you won't be
alive to tell them.
[The fighting starts, and Thor and Tony go straight at Thanos
(2014). Meanwhile, Hulk is under all of the mess trying to hold up
the structure. Rhodey and Rocket are breathing for their lives.]
RHODEY: See you on the other side, man.
SCOTT LANG: Hang on! I'm coming!
[Hawkeye is running with the infinity gauntlet. He blows the
place, and escapes before the Outriders overwhelm him. He sees
Nebula (2014).]
CLINT BARTON: Oh, hey...I know you.
NEBULA (2014): Father. I have the stones.
CLINT BARTON: What?!
[Gamora (2014) and Nebula come around the corner]
GAMORA (2014): Stop.
NEBULA (2014): You're betraying us?
NEBULA: You don't have to do this.
NEBULA (2014): I am... this.
GAMORA (2014): No, you're not.
NEBULA: You've seen what we become.
GAMORA (2014): Nebula, listen to her.
NEBULA: You can change.
NEBULA (2014): He won't let me.
[Nebula (2014) points a gun at Gamora (2014)]
GAMORA (2014): No!
[Present Nebula shoots Nebula (2014) and she dies. Hawkeye
picks up the Infinity Gauntlet]
TONY STARK: Okay, Thor. Hit me.
[Thor bangs his 2 hammers together combined with his lightning.
Tony's suit sucks up the energy and he shoots it out using his
hands and his body. Thanos twirls his blade really fast to divert
the energy. Thor grabs Stormbreaker and uses it to bat Mjölnir to
hit Thanos. Thanos uses Tony as a shield resulting in damage to
his system.]
F.R.I.D.A.Y: Boss, wake up.
[Steve tries to attack Thanos but is easily shielded away by the
Mad Titan. Thor's attack on Thanos is blocked by his sword. Thor
is beaten and choked by Thanos, as he punches him. Mjolnir is
flicked away as Thanos relentlessly beats up Thor, throwing him
into a tree and socking him before throwing him over rubble and
socking him again. Thor tries to grab Stormbreaker but Thanos
grabs it and uses it against Thor as he tries to defend himself.
Mjölnir (2013) starts to float off the ground while Thanos is
digging it into Thor, when suddenly Mjolnir flies into Thanos,
zooms past, stops, and flies back, both look on in amazement as
Steve picks up the hammer.]
THOR: I knew it!
[Thanos' (2014) kicks Thor to the ground and proceed to battle
Steve dual wielding both his shield and Mjolnir (2013)]
[Steve proceeds to charge at Thanos swinging Mjolnir (2013) and
hitting Thanos in the face knocking him down. Steve throws his
shield and Thanos (2014) deflects, Steve throws Mjolnir (2013) to
his shield creating a shockwave and knocking Thanos (2014) off
his feet. Steve goes on the offensive on Thanos, throwing his
shield first at Thanos and quickly hitting it back at him again with
Mjolnir. He lines his arm back up and underarms a channel of
lightning on Thanos.]
[Thanos eventually gets the upper hand, he removes his helmet,
stabs Steve on the leg and knocks Mjolnir (2013) out of his hand.
Thanos proceed to destroy Steve's shield with his double-bladed
sword and throws him across the battlefield.]
[Steve staggeredly tries to get up.]
THANOS (2014): In all my years of
conquest...violence...slaughter... It was never personal. But I'll tell
you now... what I'm about to do to your stubborn, annoying little
planet... I'm gonna enjoy it. Very, very much.
[Thanos' (2014) entire army is summons to the ground which
include the Children of Thanos, Chitauri, Sakaarans, Outriders
and Chitauri Gorillas. Upon seeing the army descending on
Earth, Steve slowly gets back to his feet. With a fierce
determination, he tightens his broken shield to his arm and
stands against Thanos' giant army alone. Suddenly, a crackling
comes in on his communicator.]
SAM WILSON: Hey, Cap, you read me?
[Steve stops and looks around]
SAM WILSON: Cap, it's Sam. Can you hear me?
[A yellow portal begins to form behind him.]
SAM WILSON: On your left.
[Steve looks behind to see the portal on his left side. Three
figures step through; Okoye, Shuri, and Black Panther, fully
restored and ready to fight. Steve and the revived Wakandans
share a look when Sam zooms in from above in his Falcon armor.
As he does, we see dozens more portals opening up all around
the battlefield. Through one of these, we see Doctor Strange
descend in. He is joined by Drax, Mantis, Star Lord, and Spider-
Man. Everyone watches in confusion and awe as more and more
heroes arrive from all corners of the universe, all backed up with
forces of their own including Black Panther and his Wakandan
army, Valkyrie and the Asgardians, Wong and the Masters of the
Mystic Arts and several Ravager ships. Amongst the throngs of
heroes we see Bucky, Groot, the Scarlet Witch, the Wasp, and
Pepper Potts (clad in her own iron suit) arrive. Nearly every hero
has magically been transported to the battlefield to face Thanos'
hordes.]
DOCTOR STRANGE: Is that everyone?
WONG: What, you wanted more?
[Giant-Man emerges from the rubble of the Avengers facility with
Professor Hulk, War Machine, and Rocket. The Avengers,
Guardians, Wakandans, Asgardians, and Ravagers take up battle
positions. The heroes standing across Thanos' forces.]
STEVE ROGERS: AVENGERS! [he summons Mjolnir]...assemble.
[Thor makes a battle cry, as does Black Panther and the heroes
charge, the Avengers theme swelling with their stride. Thanos
raises his sword towards them, commanding his army to charge
as well. Then both sides collide. The camera switches between
the meet-line, Drax and Korg, Pepper and Tony, all which are
battling against Thanos' army.]
[Cuts to Steve and Thor fighting. Steve takes Stormbreaker but
Thor flies to him and passes Mjolnir]
THOR: No, no, give me that. You have the little one.
[Later, Tony Stark is seen fighting some of Thanos' army. But
Cull Obsidian punches him to the ground, then Giant-Man
stomps him flat and Peter Parker runs to Tony.]
PETER PARKER: Hey! Holy cow! You will not believe what's been
going on. Do you remember when we were in space? And I got all
dusty? I must've passed out, Because I woke up, and you were
gone. But Doctor Strange was there, right? He was like, "It's been
five years. Come on, they need us." And then he started doing
the yellow sparkly thing that he does all the time. What are you
doing?
[Tony hugs Peter, making him shocked, but he hugs Tony back.]
PETER PARKER: Oh, this is nice.
[Cut to Star-Lord Fighting a bunch of Sakaarans, killing all of
them except one, which makes him fall over, but a off-screen
shot kills him and he drops on Peter. Peter gets up and sees
Gamora (2014). Thinking its present Gamora, he is shocked.]
PETER QUILL: Gamora? [Peter slowly approaches Gamora
(2014)] I thought I lost you.
[Peter touches Gamora's hair, not knowing she isn't present
Gamora. In response, Gamora (2014) grabs Peter's hand firmly
off her hair.]
PETER QUILL: Ow.
GAMORA (2014): [Kicks Peter in the nuts, slightly hurting
Peter] Don't.. touch... [Kicks him again, this time harder] me!
[Peter falls from the pain, while Gamora (2014) wipes her face.]
PETER QUILL: You missed the first time... Then you got them
both the second time.
GAMORA (2014): [to Nebula] This is the one? Seriously?
NEBULA: The choices were him, or a tree.
[Peter pointing to Gamora (2014) in confusion, then to Nebula in
question, and then back to Gamora (2014).]
[Later, Clint is seen running with the gauntlet]
CLINT BARTON: Cap, what do you want me to do with this damn
thing?
STEVE ROGERS: Get those stones as far away as possible!
BRUCE BANNER: No! We need to get them back where they
came from.
TONY STARK: No way to get them back. Thanos destroyed the
quantum tunnel.
SCOTT LANG: Hold on! [Scott shrinks to normal size and pulls
out a remote.] That wasn't our only time machine.
[Scott presses the button, which activates Luis's van's Horn,
which is heard from afar. Hearing so, Cap goes to higher
ground.]
STEVE ROGERS: Anyone see an ugly, brown van up there?
VALKYRIE: Yes! But you're not gonna like where it's parked.
TONY STARK: Scott, how long you need to get that thing
working?
SCOTT LANG: Maybe ten minutes.
STEVE ROGERS: Get it started. We'll get the stones to you.
HOPE VAN DYNE: We're on it, Cap.
[Scott and Hope share a look and they shrink. Scott grabs Hope,
and they fly to the van. Doctor Strange traps a group of Chitauri
in his magic and sends them through portals as Tony joins him.]
TONY STARK: Hey. You said one out of 14 million, we win, yeah?
Tell me this is it.
DOCTOR STRANGE: If I tell you what happens, it won't happen.
TONY STARK: You better be right.
[Cut to Scott and Hope entering a small hole in the van's window,
getting to the drive seat, regrowing and trying to activate the
Quantum Tunnel.]
THE WASP: It's a mess back here.
SCOTT LANG: It's... it's dead.
THE WASP: What?
SCOTT LANG: It's dead. I have to hotwire it.
THANOS: Where's Nebula?
CORVUS GLAIVE: She's not responding.
EBONY MAW (2014): [pointing.] Sire!
[Thanos sees the gauntlet. Clint rushes through Outriders, before
finding himself surrounded. He is saved by Black Panther.]
T'CHALLA: Clint! Give it to me.
[Clint gives T'Challa the Gauntlet to T'Challa, and he runs
towards the van while fighting Thanos' army. Eventually he is
stopped by the double edged sword, boomeranged by Thanos.
When it gets back to him, he charges T'Challa, but stopped by
Wanda, which is filled with anger for the loss of Vision.]
WANDA MAXIMOFF: You took everything from me.
THANOS (2014): I don't even know who you are.
WANDA MAXIMOFF: You will.
[With her powers, Wanda picks up some debris on the ground
and tries to crush Thanos with it.]
PETER PARKER: I got it! Activate Instant Kill!
THANOS (2014): Rain fire!
CORVUS GLAIVE: But Sire, our troops!
THANOS (2014): Just do it!
PEPPER POTTS: Uh, is anyone else seeing this?
PETER PARKER: I got this. I got this! Okay, I don't got this. Help!
Somebody, help!
STEVE: Hey, Queens. Heads up.
[Steve throws Mjolnir, and Peter shoots a web and glides along,
then Pepper Potts catches him]
PEPPER POTTS: Hang on. I got you, kid. [She drops him on
Valkyrie's Pegasus]
PETER PARKER: Hey! Nice to meet you--- Oh, my God!
[The cannons knock Peter Parker off the Pegasus, then they turn
to face something in the sky as all the cannons start shooting at
something.]
SAM: What the hell is this?
TONY STARK: F.R.I.D.A.Y., what are they firing at?
F.R.I.D.A.Y.: Something just entered the upper atmosphere.
[A bright light of thundering energy comes surging down as
Carol Danvers flies through the ship, and it results in an
explosion and the ship crash-landing in the lake]
ROCKET: Oh, yeah!
STEVE ROGERS: Danvers, we need an assist here.
[Cut to Scott finally activating the Quantum Tunnel. Then cut to
Carol Danvers landing near Peter, who is on the ground, weirdly
hugging the gauntlet with his body.]
PETER PARKER: Hi. I'm Peter Parker.
CAROL DANVERS: Hey, Peter Parker. You got something for me?
PETER PARKER: [Gets up and passes her the gauntlet] I don't
know how you're gonna get it through all that.
[Wanda arrives, Valkyrie flying on her Pegasus as she arrives.]
WANDA MAXIMOFF: Don't worry.
OKOYE: She's got help.
[Pepper lands next to Okoye, followed by Mantis, Shuri, the
Wasp, 2014 Gamora and Nebula. Thanos' army charges while the
women help Carol Danvers go through the Outriders, Sakaarans
and Chitauri. 2014 Gamora takes out a gorilla, while Okoye takes
out Corvus Glaive. Wanda and Valkyrie destroy two leviathans.
Carol Danvers then starts flying towards the van with the
Gauntlet, flying past enemies and going through enemy
blockades that are in her way with ease. Thanos, seeing this,
starts running to Carol Danvers, but is stopped by Pepper, Shuri
and The Wasp, who blast him backwards. Thanos, after seeing
Carol Danvers fly past him, throws his double sword at the van,
destroying it and the quantum realm tunnel, throwing Carol
Danvers backwards and losing her grip on the Gauntlet, which
falls to the ground. Doctor Strange steadies the water after the
explosion. In the final brawl for the Stark Gauntlet, Stark moves
one of Thanos' enemies aside and sees the Gauntlet. He runs to
get it, but sees Thanos, who Stark tackles. Thanos smacks Stark
away, knocking him out. Then Thor arrives with Stormbreaker
and 2013 Mjolnir in an attempt to pin Thanos' arm down, with
assistance from Captain America. However, Thanos overpowers
them and knocks them both out. After picking up the Gauntlet,
Carol Danvers arrives, punching away at Thanos while he is
holding the Gauntlet. She keeps punching him, but Thanos grabs
her by the arm and flings her away. Thanos puts on the gauntlet,
gamma radiation from the stones eating at him as he tries to
snap, but Carol Danvers arises again, and stops his fingers from
snapping, opening up his hand similar to what Captain America
did in Avengers: Infinity War. Thanos headbutts her, but it does
nothing. Just as Carol Danvers is gaining the upper hand by
rising up and forcing Thanos onto his knees, Thanos pulls the
Power Stone out of the Gauntlet and uses it in his free hand to hit
Carol Danvers away. Stark looks in question at Strange, who
simply raises one finger, reminding him that the one win over
Thanos he foresaw is now at risk. Or is it? Stark nods. Thanos
puts the Power Stone back into the Gauntlet, yelling from the
gamma radiation coursing through him, until Stark makes one
last attack on Thanos, pulling on the Gauntlet before Thanos
punches him away.]
THANOS (2014): I am... inevitable.
[Thanos snaps his fingers, but nothing happens except a metallic
"clink." He sees the Infinity Stones are missing. Tony has the
stones on his own gauntlet, the gamma radiation coursing
through him, to Thanos' shock.]
TONY STARK: And I... am... Iron Man.
[Tony snaps his fingers with a loud "CLANG" and a blinding flash
of white. Rocket fires at a Leviathan and before it devours him, it
crumbles into ash. The Black Order starts crumbling to ash.
T'Challa and Quill look around in surprise; Steve looks on in
exhaustion, knowing that they have won. Thanos, in horror, looks
around and sees his entire army disintegrate. He looks at Steve,
who just stares at him. Thanos sits down and mourns before
slowly being erased from existence himself.]
[Cut back to Tony. The power of the gauntlet raw energy has left
his entire right side fatally injured. He stumbles for a bit before
his body collapses besides a pile of debris. Rhodey soon flies in
and goes up to Tony to see his long time colleague and friend
fading away. He bows his head, knowing the damage was done.
Peter Parker soon flies in and sees Tony collapsed on the
ground.]
PETER PARKER: Mr. Stark? [He runs up to his fallen mentor.
Tears start to form in his eyes] Hey... Mr. Stark? Can you hear
me? It's Peter. Hey. We won, Mr. Stark... We won, Mr. Stark. We
won. You did it, sir. You did it.
[Tony is unresponsive. Peter breaks down and hugs him.]
PETER PARKER: I'm sorry... Tony...
[Peter is gently led aside to grieve. Pepper Potts sits in front of
the fading Iron Man.]
PEPPER POTTS: Hey.
[Tony is barely able to move his head, but manages to look
Pepper in the eyes]
TONY STARK: [quietly] Hey, Pep...
[Pepper places her hand on Tony's Arc Reactor and Tony rests
his hand on hers. Pepper takes a good look at Tony's fatal
injuries.]
PEPPER POTTS: F.R.I.D.A.Y.?
F.R.I.D.A.Y.: Life functions critical.
[Tony smiles with tears in his eyes.]
PEPPER POTTS: Tony. Look at me. [She makes sure Tony gets a
long look at her smiling face] We're gonna be okay. You can rest
now.
[With that acknowledgement, Tony's arc reactor flickers off for
good. Pepper can no longer contain her grief and starts crying on
his shoulder. Tony Stark, Iron Man, Earth's Best Defender, is
dead.]
[We cut to a montage showing reunions and celebrations. At
Clint Barton's farm, he joyfully reunites with his family. At Peter
Parker's school, Peter and Ned meet in the hallways. They share
a handshake before giving each other a heartfelt hug. In San
Francisco, Scott Lang watches fireworks with Cassie Lang and
Hope Van Dyne. In Wakanda, T'Cahlla, Shuri, and Ramonda
oversee the celebrations from their balcony. Over all this, we
hear Tony's voice narrating.]
TONY STARK (voiceover): Everybody wants a happy ending,
right? But it doesn't always roll that way. Maybe this time. I'm
hoping if you play this back, it's in celebration. I hope families are
reunited, I hope we get it back, and something like a normal
version of the planet has been restored. If there ever was such a
thing. God, what a world. Universe, now. If you told me ten years
ago that we weren't alone, let alone, you know, to this extent, I
mean, I wouldn't have been surprised. But come on, you know?
The epic forces of darkness and light that have come into play.
And, for better or worse, that's the reality Morgan's gonna have
to find a way to grow up in.
[Cut to the Stark household. Pepper, Morgan, Happy Hogan, and
Rhodey all watch Tony's holographic message being projected
from his Iron Man helmet. Tony is sitting down recording the
message.]
TONY STARK (hologram): So I thought I'd probably better record
a little greeting... In the case of an untimely death on my part. I
mean, not that, death at any time isn't untimely. This time travel
thing that we're gonna try and pull off tomorrow, it's... it's got me
scratching my head about the survivability of it all. That's the
thing. Then again, that's the hero gig. Part of the journey is the
end. [Tony suddenly gets up walking towards his camera] What
am I even trippin' for? Everything's gonna work out exactly the
way it's supposed to. [He leans down and smiles. He is looking
straight at Morgan] I love you 3,000.
[The message ends and the hologram cuts out.]
[Cut to outside the cottage. Pepper carries a wreath out of the
house to an audience waiting outside for the intimate funeral.
She lays the wreath on the lake. On top of the wreath is Tony's
first arc reactor which Pepper had framed with the words "Proof
That Tony Stark Has a Heart" back in 2008. The camera slowly
pans to see Pepper, Morgan, Happy Hogan, & Rhodey, all being
joined by Steve Rogers, Peter Parker, May Parker, Thor, Bruce
Banner, Doctor Strange, Wong, Scott Lang, Hope Van Dyne,
Janet Van Dyne, Hank Pym, Peter Quill, Nebula, Rocket, Groot,
Drax, Mantis, T'Challa, Okoye, Shuri, Clint Barton & his family,
Wanda Maximoff, Bucky Barnes, Sam Wilson, Harley Keener,
Secretary Ross, Maria Hill, Carol Danvers, and Nick Fury, silently
watching the wreath float away.]
[Cut to Clint and Wanda, standing by the riverside shortly
afterwards.]
CLINT: You know, I wish there was a way...that I could let her
know. That we won. [Looks over to Wanda.] We did it.
WANDA MAXIMOFF: She knows...They both do.
[Clint gives her a side hug and Wanda reciprocates.]
[scene cuts to Happy and Morgan.]
HAPPY: How you doing, Squirt?
MORGAN STARK: Good.
HAPPY: You good? Okay. You hungry?
MORGAN STARK: Mm-hmm.
HAPPY: What do you want?
MORGAN STARK: Cheeseburgers.
HAPPY: You know your dad liked cheeseburgers? I'm gonna get
you all the cheeseburgers you want.
MORGAN STARK: Okay.
[Following the funeral for Tony, we cut to Thor and Valkyrie in
New Asgard.]
VALKYRIE: So, when can we expect you back?
THOR: Um... about that...
VALKYRIE: Thor. Your people need a king.
THOR: No, they already have one.
VALKYRIE: That's funny. You're being serious?
[Thor nods his head]
THOR: It's time for me to be who I am rather than who I'm
supposed to be. But you, you're a leader. That's who you are.
VALKYRIE: You know I'd make a lot of changes around here.
THOR: I'm counting on it. Your Majesty.
[Thor offers Valkyrie a farewell handshake]
VALKYRIE: What will you do?
THOR: I'm not sure. For the first time in a thousand years, I... I
have no path. I do have a ride, though.
[Camera pans to the Benatar parked on the cliff]
ROCKET: Move it or lose it, hairbag.
[scene cuts to Quill searching for Gamora on the screen as Thor
walks in he closes it]
THOR: Well, here we are. Tree! Good to see you. Well... [Thor
removes his shades and taps Quill on the shoulder] The
Asgardians of the Galaxy, back together again. Where to
first? [Thor touches the screens map to pick their destination]
QUILL: Hey, just so you know, this is my ship still. I'm in charge.
THOR: I know. I know. Of course, you are. Of course.
QUILL: See, you say of course, but then you touch the map. It
makes you think that maybe you didn't realize I was in charge.
THOR: Quail... you... that-that's your own–
QUILL: Quail?
THOR: ...insecurities in there. Okay? I'm merely trying to be of
service and assisting.
QUILL: Quill.
THOR: That's what I said.
DRAX: You should fight one another for the honor of leadership.
NEBULA: Sounds fair.
[Quill looks around]
QUILL: It's not necessary.
THOR: It's not.
QUILL: Okay?
ROCKET: I got some blasters, unless you guys wanna use
knives.
MANTIS: [enthusiastically] Oh, yes. Please, use knives.
DRAX: Yeah, knives.
GROOT: I am Groot.
[Both Thor and Quill laugh but Quill tries to laugh harder]
QUILL: Not necessary.
THOR: There shall be no knifing one another. Everybody knows
who's in charge.
QUILL: [glances at Thor] Me, right?
THOR: Yes, you. Of course. Of course. Of course.
[Scene cuts to Bruce, Steve, Sam and Bucky at the woods]
BRUCE BANNER: Now, remember... You have to return the
stones to the exact moment you got them. Or you're gonna open
up a bunch of nasty alternative realities.
STEVE ROGERS: Don't worry, Bruce. Clip all the branches.
BRUCE BANNER: You know, I tried. When I had the gauntlet, the
stones, I really tried to bring her back. [Looks at Steve] I miss
them, man.
STEVE ROGERS: Me, too.
SAM WILSO: You know, if you want, I can come with you.
STEVE ROGERS: You're a good man, Sam. This one's on me,
though.
[Steve goes over to Bucky]
STEVE ROGERS: Don't do anything stupid 'till I get back.
BUCKY BARNES: How can I? You're taking all the stupid with
you.
[They both hug each other]
BUCKY BARNES: Gonna miss you, Buddy.
STEVE ROGERS: It's gonna be okay, Buck.
[Steve goes over to the Quantum portal and dons the Quantum
suit]
SAM WILSON: How long is this gonna take?
BRUCE BANNER: For him? As long as he needs. For us? Five
seconds.
[Steve picks up Mjolnir (2013)]
BRUCE BANNER: Ready, Cap? Alright. We'll meet you back here,
okay?
STEVE ROGERS: You bet.
BRUCE BANNER: Going quantum. Three, two, one...
[Steve disappears into the Quantum portal]
BRUCE BANNER: And returning in, five, four, three, two, one...
[Steve doesn't appear on the pad. Bruce looks around the
equipment]
SAM WILSON: Where is he?
BRUCE BANNER: I don't know. He blew right by his time stamp.
He should be here.
[Bucky turns around from the pad]
SAM WILSON: Well, get him back.
BRUCE BANNER: I'm trying.
SAM WILSON: Get him the hell back!
BRUCE BANNER: Hey, I said, I'm trying!
BUCKY BARNES: Sam.
[Sam walks toward Bucky. Sam, Bucky, and Bruce see an old
man sitting on a log. Sam and Bucky go near him.]
BUCKY BARNES: Go ahead.
[Bucky has a smile forming and looks over to Sam. He walks
towards the old man and instantly recognizes the now-elderly
Steve Rogers]
SAM WILSON: Cap?
(OLD) STEVE ROGERS: Hi, Sam.
[Old Steve looks over to Sam]
SAM WILSON: So did something go wrong, or did something go
right?
(OLD) STEVE ROGERS: Well, after I put the stones back, I
thought, maybe I'll try some of that life Tony was telling me to
get.
SAM WILSON: How'd that work out for you?
(OLD) STEVE ROGERS: It was beautiful.
SAM WILSON: I'm happy for you. Truly.
(OLD) STEVE ROGERS: Thank you.
SAM WILSON: Only thing bumming me out is the fact I have to
live in a world without Captain America.
(OLD) STEVE ROGERS: Oh, That reminds me. [brings out his
shield.] Try it on.
[Sam look over to Bucky, who nods, and Sam holds Steve's
shield.]
(OLD) STEVE ROGERS: How does it feel?
SAM WILSON: Like it's someone else's.
(OLD) STEVE ROGERS: It isn't.
[Sam tries to hold back tears]
SAM WILSON: Thank you. I'll do my best.
(OLD) STEVE ROGERS: That's why it's yours. [shakes Sam's
hand]
SAM WILSON: [seeing elderly Steve's wedding ring] You wanna
tell me about her?
(OLD) STEVE ROGERS: [smiling] No. No, I don't think I will.
[In the final scenes, Steve has time traveled back to the 1940s to
be with Peggy Carter. They are seen dancing to "It's Been a
Long, Long Time" in their home, and they end with a kiss.] – "It's
Been a Long, Long Time" performed by Harry James and His
Orchestra, sung by Kitty Kallen, written by Sammy Cahn and Jule
Styne
