- Agent Cale: [staring at The Destroyer] Is that one of Stark's?
- Agent Coulson: I don't know. Guy never tells me anything.
- Thor: [walking into a pet shop] I need a horse!
- Pet Store Clerk: We don't have horses. Just dogs, cats, birds.
- Thor: Then give me one of those large enough to ride.
- Thor: [taking coffee for the first time] This drink... I like it!
- Darcy: I know, it's great right?
- Thor: ANOTHER!
- Thor: [throws the mug on the floor and shatters it]
- Jane Foster: [to the lady behind the counter] Sorry, Izzie, little accident...
- Jane Foster: [to Thor] What was that?
- Thor: It was delicious! I want another!
- Jane Foster: You could have just said so!
- Thor: I just did!
- Jane Foster: I mean ask nicely!
- Thor: I meant no disrespect.
- Jane Foster: Alright, no more smashing. Deal?
- Thor: You have my word.
- Loki: The Casket wasn't the only thing you took from Jotunheim that day, was it?
- Odin: No. In the aftermath of the battle I went into the temple and I found a baby. Small for a Giant's offspring, abandoned, suffering, left to die. Laufey's son.
- Loki: Laufey's son?
- Odin: Yes.
- Loki: Why? You were knee-deep in Jotun blood. Why would you take me?
- Odin: You were an innocent child.
- Loki: No. You took me for a purpose. What was it?... TELL ME!
- Odin: I thought we could unite our kingdoms one day. Bring about an alliance, bring about permanent peace... through you.
- Loki: What?
- Odin: But those plans no longer matter.
- Loki: So I am no more than another stolen relic, locked up here until you might have use of me?
- Odin: Why do you twist my words?
- Loki: You could have told me what I was from the beginning! Why didn't you?
- Odin: You're my son... I wanted only to protect you from the truth...
- Loki: What, because I... I... I am the monster parents tell their children about at night?
- Odin: [unwell] No! No!
- Loki: You know, it all makes sense now, why you favored Thor all these years, because no matter how much you claim to love me, you could never have a Frost Giant sitting on the throne of Asgard!
- [an overcome Odin collapses]
- Loki: Guards! Guards, please help!
- Darcy: [On seeing Thor, who's been hit by their car, lying on the ground] Whoa, does he need CPR? 'Cause I totally know CPR!
- Odin: You are a vain, greedy, cruel boy!
- Thor: And you are an old man and a fool!
- Odin: Yes... I was a fool, to think you were ready.
- Loki: Father...
- Odin: [to Loki] FIE!
- Odin: Thor Odinson... you have betrayed the express command of your king. Through your arrogance and stupidity, you've opened these peaceful realms and innocent lives to the horror and desolation of war! You are unworthy of these realms, you're unworthy of your title, you're unworthy... of the loved ones you have betrayed! I now take from you your power! In the name of my father and his father before, I, Odin Allfather, cast you out!
- Agent Garrett: [about Thor's Asgard buddies] Is there a Renaissance Fair in town?
- Agent Jackson: Call it in.
- Agent Garrett: Yeah. Uh, base, we've got, uh, Xena, Jackie Chan, and Robin Hood.
- Clint Barton: Do you want me to take him down, or would you rather send in more guys for him to beat up?
- Thor: Why have you done this?
- Loki: To prove to Father that I am a worthy son! When he wakes, I will have saved his life, I will have destroyed that race of monsters, and I will be true heir to the throne!
- Thor: You can't kill an entire race!
- Loki: Why not?... And what is this new found love for the Frost Giants? You, could have killed them all with your bare hands!
- Thor: I've changed.
- Loki: So have I. Now fight me!
- King Laufey: The house of Odin is full of traitors...
- Thor: Do not dishonor my father's name with your lies!
- King Laufey: Your father is a murderer and a thief! And why have YOU come, to talk of peace? You long for battle, you crave it! You're nothing more than a boy trying to prove himself a man!
- Thor: Be warned, this boy grows tired of your mockery!
- [Jotuns surround the Asgardians]
- Loki: Thor, stop and think. Look around you, we're outnumbered...
- Thor: Know your place, brother!
- King Laufey: You know not what your actions would unleash... I do. Go now, while I still allow it.
- [Loki has to restrain Thor]
- Loki: We will accept your most gracious offer. Come on, brother...
- [Thor turns to leave]
- Frost Giant Sentry: Run back home, little princess.
- Loki: Damn...
- [Thor smashes down the Sentry]
- Thor: Next?
- Odin: [enchants Mjolnir] Whosoever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of THOR!
- [hurls Mjolnir after Thor]
- [Thor approaches the Destroyer]
- Thor: Brother, however I have wronged you, whatever I have done that has led you to do this, I am truly sorry. But these people are innocent, taking their lives will gain you nothing. So take mine, and end this.
- [Thor brings a drunken Selvig home]
- Jane Foster: What happened?
- Thor: He's fine! We drank, we fought - he made his ancestors proud!
- Jane Foster: Put him on the bed.
- Erik Selvig: [to Thor] Oh, I still don't think you're the god of thunder. But you ought to be!
- Fandral: [to Volstagg] Our dearest friend banished! Loki on the throne! Asgard on the brink of war! Yet you managed to consume four wild boars, six pheasants, a side of beef and two caskets of ale! Shame on you! Don't you care?
- [dashes the plate from Volstagg's hands]
- Volstagg: Do not mistake my appetite for apathy!
- Sif: [breaks them up] Stop it, both of you! Stop! We all know what we have to do.
- Hogun: We must go. We must find Thor.
- Fandral: You speak of treason!
- Volstagg: Forget treason, it's suicide!
- Sif: Thor would do the same for us.
- Volstagg: Hush! Heimdall may be watching.
- [an Asgardian sentry enters]
- Asgardian Guard: Heimdall demands your presence!
- [the sentry leaves]
- Volstagg: We're doomed.
- [while interrogating Thor, Coulson steps out for a moment...]
- Thor: Loki. What are you doing here?
- Loki: [as a SHIELD agent] I had to see you.
- Thor: What's happened? Tell me, is it Jotunheim? Let me explain to Father...
- Loki: Father is dead.
- Thor: What?
- Loki: Your banishment, the threat of a new war... it was too much for him to bear. You mustn't blame yourself. I know that you loved him. I tried to tell him so, but he wouldn't listen. It was so cruel to put the hammer within your reach knowing that you could never lift it. The burden of the throne has fallen to me now.
- Thor: Can I come home?
- Loki: The truce with Jotunheim is conditional upon your exile.
- Thor: Yes, but... couldn't we find a way...?
- Loki: And Mother has forbidden your return. This is goodbye, brother. I'm so sorry.
- Thor: No. I am sorry. Thank you for coming here.
- Loki: Farewell.
- Thor: Goodbye.
- [Loki leaves, just as Coulson returns]
- Agent Coulson: [having heard Thor] "Goodbye?" I just got back.
- Thor: My friends, have you forgotten all that we have done together? Fandral, Hogun, who led you into the glorious of battles?
- Hogun: You did.
- Thor: And, Volstagg, who introduced you to delicacies so succulent you thought you'd died and gone to Valhalla?
- Volstagg: [chuckles] You did.
- Thor: And who proved wrong all who scoffed at the idea that a young maiden could be one of the fiercest warriors this realm has ever known?
- Sif: I did!
- Thor: True, but I supported you, Sif.
- Thor: You know, I had it all backwards. I had it all wrong.
- Erik Selvig: It's not a bad thing finding out that you don't have all the answers. You start asking the right questions.
- Thor: For the first time in my life, I have no idea what I'm supposed to do.
- Erik Selvig: Anyone who's ever going to find his way in this world, has to start by admitting he doesn't know...
- Darcy: Look! Look, it's "Myeuh-muh"!
- [points to a mythology book, specifically a page with a drawing of Mjölnir]
- [after credits]
- [Dr Selvig wanders around an underground base]
- Nick Fury: [greeting him] Dr. Selvig.
- Erik Selvig: So, you're the man behind all this? It's quite a labyrinth. I was thinking that you had taken me down here to kill me.
- Nick Fury: I've been hearing about the New Mexico situation. Your work has impressed a lot of people who are much smarter than I am.
- Erik Selvig: I had a lot to work with: the Foster theory, a gateway to another dimension... it's unprecedented...
- [Fury doesn't respond]
- Erik Selvig: ...isn't it?
- Nick Fury: Legend tells us one thing; history, another. But, every now and then, we find something that belongs to both.
- [Fury opens a suitcase, which contains a small cube]
- Erik Selvig: What is it?
- Nick Fury: Power, Doctor. If we figure out how to tap it, maybe unlimited power.
- [Loki is seen in a reflection, smiling]
- Loki: [whispers to Selvig] Well, I guess that's worth a look.
- Erik Selvig: Well, I guess that's worth a look.
- Agent Coulson: Donald? I don't think you've been completely honest with me.
- Thor: Know this, son of Coul. You and I, we fight for the same cause: the protection of this world. From this day forward, you can count me in as your ally, if... you return the items you have taken from Jane.
- Jane Foster: Stolen!
- Agent Coulson: Borrowed.
- [Correcting her, and in a jovial tone]
- Agent Coulson: Of course you can have your equipment back. You're going to need it to continue your research.
- Thor: [Pulling Jane close to his side] Would you like to see the bridge we spoke of?
- Jane Foster: Uh... sure.
- [grabs Jane, flies off]
- Agent Coulson: Wait, we need to debrief you!
- Jane Foster: Years of research, gone.
- Darcy: They even took my iPod.
- Erik Selvig: What about the backups?
- Jane Foster: They took our backups. They took the backups of our backups. They were extremely thorough.
- Darcy: I just downloaded, like, 30 songs onto there.
- [after hitting Thor with her car... again]
- Jane Foster: WHAT?... I'm so sorry! I swear I'm not doing this on purpose.
- [Loki appears in front of a fuming Thor]
- Thor: It's unwise to be in my company right now, brother. Today was to be my day of triumph!
- Loki: It'll come, in time. If it's any consolation, I think you're right. About the Frost Giants, about Laufey, about everything. If they were able to slip past Asgard's defenses once, who's to say they won't try again? Next time with an army.
- Thor: Exactly!
- Loki: There's nothing you can do without defying Father.
- [Thor looks at Loki]
- Loki: No! No, no, no, no! I know that look!
- Thor: It's the only way to ensure the safety of our borders!
- Loki: Thor, it's madness!
- Thor: You think me strange?
- Jane Foster: Yes.
- Thor: Good strange, or bad strange?
- Jane Foster: I'm not sure yet...
- [Loki appears in Jotunheim]
- King Laufey: Kill him.
- Loki: After all I've done for you?
- King Laufey: ...So you're the one who showed us the way into Asgard.
- Loki: That was just a bit of fun, really. To ruin my brother's big day, and to protect the realm from his idiotic rule for a while longer.
- King Laufey: I will hear you.
- Loki: I will conceal you and a handful of your soldiers, lead you into Odin's chambers, and you can slay him where he lies.
- King Laufey: Why not kill him yourself?
- Loki: I suspect that the Asgardians would not take kindly to a king who had murdered his predecessor. Once Odin is dead, I will return the Casket to you...
- [Laufey stands, his expression hungry]
- Loki: And you can return Jotunheim to all its, uh... glory.
- King Laufey: I... accept.
- Thor: [fighting hospital interns] You are no match for the mighty...
- [an intern jabs a syringe into his butt, he passes out instantly]
- Young Loki: Do the Frost Giants still live?
- Young Thor: When I am king, I'll hunt the monsters down and slay them all! Just as you did, Father!
- Odin: A wise king never seeks out war. But he must always be ready for it.
- [walks off, his sons run after him]
- Young Thor: I'm with you, Father!
- Young Loki: So am I!
- Odin: Only one of you can ascend to the throne. But BOTH of you were born to be kings!
- Odin: Once, mankind accepted a simple truth: that they were not alone in this universe. Some worlds man believed home to their Gods. Others they knew to fear. From around the cold and darkness came the Frost Giants, threatening to plunge the mortal world into a new ice age. But humanity would not face this threat alone. Our armies drove the Frost Giants back into the heart of their own world. The cost was great. In the end, their king fell, and the source of their power was taken from them. With the last great war ended, we withdrew from the other worlds and returned home at the Realm Eternal, Asgard. And here we remain as the beacon of hope, shining out across the stars. And though we have fallen into man's myths and legends, it was Asgard and its warriors that brought peace to the universe.
- [looks at his children]
- Odin: But the day will come, when one of you will have to defend that peace...
- [from trailer]
- Jane Foster: Describe exactly what happened to you last night.
- Thor: Your ancestors called it magic...
- [Thor skims through a book on Norse mythology]
- Thor: ...but you call it science. I come from a land where they are one and the same.
- Jane Foster: [about the mythology book] Where'd you find this?
- Erik Selvig: The children's section. I just wanted to show you how silly his story was.
- Jane Foster: But you're the one who's always pushing me to chase down every possibility, every alternative.
- Erik Selvig: I'm talking about science, not magic.
- Jane Foster: Well, "magic's just science we don't understand yet." Arthur C. Clarke.
- Erik Selvig: Who wrote science-fiction.
- Jane Foster: A precursor to science fact!
- Erik Selvig: In some cases, yeah.
- Jane Foster: Well, if there's an Einstein-Rosen bridge, then there's something on the other side. And advanced beings could have crossed it!
- Erik Selvig: Oh, Jane.
- Darcy: A primitive culture like the Vikings might have worshiped them as deities.
- Jane Foster: Yes! Yes, exactly. Thank you.
- Heimdall: You would defy the commands of Loki, our king? Break every oath you have taken as warriors, and commit treason to bring Thor back?
- Sif: Yes.
- Heimdall: Good.
- [steps off the control platform]
- Sif: So you will help us?
- Heimdall: I am bound by honor to our king. I cannot open the bridge to you.
- [walks off]
- Fandral: Complicated fellow, isn't he?
- Volstagg: Now what do we do?
- [the Bifrost activates on its own]
