[Inside the ship, Ebony Maw walks among the bodies of dead Asgardians. He steps over them as he
speaks with no mind, as if they were scattered pieces of dirty clothing on a bedroom floor.]
Ebony Maw: Hear me, and rejoice. You have had the privilege of being saved by the Great Titan. You
may think this is suffering. No…It is salvation. Universal scales tip toward balance because of your
sacrifice. Smile…For even in death, you have become Children of Thanos.
[Thanos holds up his hand to reveal the Infinity Gauntlet, which already hosts the Power Stone.]
Thor: [exhaustedly spitting blood from his mouth] You talk too much.
Thanos: [to Loki] The Tesseract, or your brother’s head. I assume you have a preference.
[Thanos sets the gauntlet on Thor’s temple. The power stone glows brightly. Thor suffers in pain.]
Loki: [cringing and looking away from his brother’s pain and has just thought for a few seconds]
ALRIGHT, STOP!
[Loki glances at Thor like he knows something he doesn’t. He lifts his right hand into the air and the
Tesseract reveals itself]
Thor: You really are the worst, brother.
Loki: [While holding the Tesseract out to Thanos and advancing] I assure you, brother, the Sun will
shine on us again.
Loki: Well, for one thing: I’m not Asgardian. And for another… We have a Hulk.
[Loki dives out of the way as Hulk emerges and fights Thanos. Punches are exchanged and Thanos is
forced into the wall of the ship. Maw stops Black Dwarf from interfering.]
Ebony Maw: Let him have his fun.
[Thanos defeats Hulk and dumps him to the ground. Thor tries to interfere but Ebony Maw binds him to
the ground.]
Heimdall: Allfathers… let the dark magic flow through me one last… time.
[Thanos crushes the Tesseract, revealing the Space Stone. He places it on the gauntlet.]
Thanos: There are two more Stones on Earth. Find them, my children, and bring them to me on Titan.
Loki: [Emerging from a separate section of the ship] If I might, interject… If you’re going to Earth, you
might want a guide. I do have a bit of experience in that arena.
Loki: I consider experience, experience. Almighty Thanos. I, Loki, Prince of Asgard… Odinson… The
rightful King of Jotunheim, God of Mischief, do hereby pledge to you, my undying fidelity.
[Thor squints and notices a dagger in Loki’s hand. Loki attempts to stab Thanos, but fails.]
Thanos: “Undying.” You should choose your words more carefully.
[Thanos tightens his hold around Loki’s neck. He makes eye contact with Thor before he increases his
force on Loki’s neck.]
Loki: [Giving up on fighting against Thanos] You… will never be… a god. [Thanos snaps Loki’s neck,
killing him]
[Thor is released from his binds. He crawls over to Loki’s body- which, unlike in the Dark World, has not
returned to it’s Jotun form- and lays his head down on Loki’s chest, shedding tears for all that he has lost.
The ship explodes. The Bifrost sends Hulk across space to Earth.]
[Sanctum Sanctorum]
Doctor Strange: Seriously? You don’t have any money?
Wong: Rupees.
Doctor Strange: [Sharing a look with Wong, now in his normal fighting attire] … Who?
Tony Stark: Slow down, slow down. I’m totally not kidding.
Pepper Potts: [laughing slightly] You’re totally rambling.
Tony Stark: Look, you know how you’re having a dream, and in the dream you gotta pee?
Tony Stark: Okay, and then you’re like, “Oh my god, there’s no bathroom, what am I gonna do?” “Oh!
Someone’s watching.” “I’m gonna go in my pants.”
Pepper Potts: Right. And then you wake up, and in real life you actually have to pee.
Tony Stark: Right! That’s the point I’m trying to make. Apropos of that, last night, I dreamt, we had a
kid. So real. We named him after your eccentric uncle. Uh, what was his name?
Pepper Potts: If you wanted to have a kid, you wouldn’t have done that.
Tony Stark: I know. I had the surgery. I’m just trying to protect us. The future, us, and that’s it. Just in
case there’s a monster in the closet, instead of, you know…
Tony Stark: Yeah. You know what there should be? No more surprises. We’re gonna have a nice
dinner tonight. Show off this Harry Winston. Right? And we should have no more surprises. Ever. I
should promise you.
Doctor Strange: Tony Stark, I’m Doctor Stephen Strange. I need you to come with me. Oh, uh,
congratulations on the wedding, by the way.
Doctor Strange: We need your help. Look, it’s not overselling to say that the fate of the universe is at
stake.
Tony Stark: And who’s “we”?
[Bruce gives Tony a hug, not answering. After everything he has been through, we understand.]
Wong: [Using magic to show the universe and five out of six Infinity Stones] From the dawn of the
universe, there was nothing. Then, boom! The Big Bang sent six elemental crystals, hurdling across the
virgin universe. These Infinity Stones each control an essential aspect of existence.
[Dr. Strange opens the Eye of Agamotto, revealing the Time Stone.]
Tony Stark: Tell me his name again.
Bruce Banner: Thanos. He’s a plague, Tony. He invades planets, he takes what he wants, he wipes out
half the population. He sent Loki! The attack on New York, that’s him!
Tony Stark: [Speaking to himself] This is him…What’s our timeline?
Bruce Banner: No telling. He has the Power and Space Stones, that already makes him the strongest
creature in the whole universe! If he gets his hands, on all six Stones, Tony…
Doctor Strange: He can destroy life on a scale hither to undreamt of.
Tony Stark: [Leans against a cauldron, stretching casually] Did you seriously just say “hither to
undreamt of”?
Doctor Strange: Are you seriously leaning on the Cauldron of the Cosmos?
Tony Stark: [Looking offended] I’m going to allow that. If Thanos needs all six, why don’t we just stick
this one down the garbage disposal?
Wong: We swore an oath to protect the Time Stone. With our lives.
Tony Stark: And I swore off dairy, but then, Ben & Jerry’s named a flavor after me, so…
Doctor Strange: Our oath to protect the Time Stone cannot change. This Stone may be the best
chance we have against Thanos.
Tony Stark: And still conversely, it may also be his best chance against us.
Tony Stark: What is your job exactly, besides making balloon animals?
Bruce Banner: Okay, guys, can we quick cable this discussion right now? The fact is that we have the
Stone. We know where it is. Vision is out there somewhere with the Mind Stone, and we have to find
him now.
Tony Stark: Two weeks ago, Vision turned off his transponder. He’s offline.
Tony Stark: I didn’t lose him. He’s more than that. He’s evolving.
Tony Stark: It’s not that easy. God, we haven’t caught up in a spell, have we?
Tony Stark: Cap and I fell out hard. We’re not on speaking terms.
Bruce Banner: Tony, listen to me. Thor’s gone. Thanos is coming. It doesn’t matter who you’re talking
to or not.
[Tony hesitates, before pulling out the cellular phone Steve mailed him, muttering ‘flip phone’. It seems
as though he brings it everywhere, always ready to call his lost friend. Before clicking “Call”, he pauses.
He hears unusual sounds.]
Tony Stark: Say, Doc, you wouldn’t happen to be moving your hair, would you?
Doctor Strange: [Trying to look up at one of his stray hairs fluttering] … Not at the moment, no.
[Tony looks at the opening on the ceiling and sees metal scraps flying by outside. He exits the Sanctum
and scans the chaotic surroundings. He helps a woman up.]
[The woman ignores him and runs away. A car crashes in on a pole behind Tony.]
Tony Stark: Hey! You might wanna put that Time Stone in your back pocket, Doc!
[A huge circular ship is seen floating near Bleecker Street. On a bus, the hairs on Peter Parker’s arms
stand up. He looks out the window and sees the ship.]
Peter Parker: [Tapping his friend from the seat in front of him] Ned, hey. I need you to cause a
distraction.
Ned Leeds: Holy shit! We’re all gonna die! There’s a spaceship!
[Peter Parker opens a window using his web shooter. He exits the bus. Students scramble to the windows
to see the spaceship.]
Stan Lee: What’s the matter with you kids? You’ve never seen a spaceship before?
[Peter Parker wears his Spider-Man mask and makes his way towards the ship.]
Tony Stark: F.R.I.D.A.Y., evac anyone south of 43rd Street, notify first responders.
[Doctor Strange stops the ship’s engine. The dust clears. Ebony Maw and Black Dwarf exit the ship.]
Ebony Maw: Hear me, and rejoice. You are about to die at the hands of the Children of Thanos. Be
thankful, that your meaningless lives are now contributing to…
Tony Stark: I’m sorry, Earth is closed today. You better pack it up and get outta here.
Ebony Maw: [Looks at Strange] Stone keeper… Does this chattering animal speak for you?
Doctor Strange: Certainly not. I speak for myself. But you’re trespassing in this city and on this planet.
