You Forced Our Hand Full Transcript
Nick Fury
What are you doing, Mr Stark?
  • 1
Tony Stark (Ironman)
Uhhh, Kind of been wondering the same thing about you.
  • 2
Nick Fury
You're supposed to be locating the Tesseract.
  • 1
Dr. Banner (The Hulk)
We are. The model's locked and we're sweeping for the signature now. When we get a hit, we'll have the location within half a mile.
  • 2
Tony Stark (Ironman)
Yeah, then you get your Cube back. No muss, no fuss. What is "Phase 2"?
  • 5
Captain America
Phase 2 is S.H.I.E.L.D. Uses the Cube to make weapons. Sorry, computer was moving a little slow for me.
  • 3
Nick Fury
Rogers, we gathered everything related to the Tesseract. This does not mean that we're making...
  • 2
Tony Stark (Ironman)
I'm sorry, Nick. What were you lying?
  • 9
Captain America
I was wrong, Director. The world hasn't changed a bit.
  • 3
Dr. Banner (The Hulk)
Did you know about this?
  • 1
Natasha (Black Widow)
You want to think about removing yourself from this environment, Doctor?
  • 3
Dr. Banner (The Hulk)
I was in Calcutta. I was pretty well removed.
  • 2
Natasha (Black Widow)
Loki is manipulating you.
  • 2
Dr. Banner (The Hulk)
And you've been doing what, exactly?
  • 1
Natasha (Black Widow)
You didn't come here because I bat my eyelashes at you.
  • 2
Dr. Banner (The Hulk)
Yes, and I'm not leaving because suddenly you get a little twitchy. I'd like to know why S.H.I.E.L.D. Is using the Tesseract to build weapons of mass destruction.
  • 3
Nick Fury
Because of him.
  • 1
Thor
Me?
  • 4
Nick Fury
Last year, Earth had a visitor from another planet who had a grudge match that levelled a small town. We learned that not only are we not alone but we are hopelessly, hilariously, outgunned.
  • 2
Thor
My people want nothing but peace with your planet.
  • 2
Nick Fury
But you're not the only people out there, are you? And you're not the only threat. The world's filling up withpeople who can't be matched, that can't be controlled.
  • 1
Captain America
Like you controlled the Cube?
  • 3
Thor
Your work with the Tesseract is what drew Loki to it, and his allies. It is a signal to all the realms that the Earth is ready for a higher form of war.
  • 2
Captain America
A higher form?
  • 2
Nick Fury
You forced our hand. We had to come up with something.
  • 2
Tony Stark (Ironman)
A nuclear deterrent. Because that always calms everything right down.
  • 9
Nick Fury
Remind me again how you made your fortune, Stark.
  • 2
Captain America
I'm sure if he still made weapons, Stark would be neck-deep...
  • 1
Tony Stark (Ironman)
Wait, wait. Hold on. How is this now about me?
  • 2
Captain America
I'm sorry, isn't everything?
  • 15
Thor
I thought humans were more evolved than this.
  • 11
Nick Fury
Excuse me, did we come to your planet and blow stuff up?
  • 5
Thor
You treat your champions with such mistrust.
  • 3
Natasha (Black Widow)
  • 6
Dr. Banner (The Hulk)
Captain America's on threat watch?
  • 1
Natasha (Black Widow)
We all are.
  • 1
Tony Stark (Ironman)
Wait, you're on that list? Are you above or below angry bees?
  • 15
Captain America
Stark, so help me God, if you make one more wisecrack...
  • 5
Tony Stark (Ironman)
Threat! Verbal threat. I feel threatened.
  • 22
Captain America
Show some respect.
  • 5
Tony Stark (Ironman)
Respect what?
  • 5
Lady On Comms
Transport Six-Six-Bravo, please relay confirm codes. I've got you on the computer, but not on the day log. What is your haul? Over.
  • 1
Man On Comms
Arms and ammunition. Over.
  • 1
Thor
You speak of control, yet you court chaos.
  • 3
Dr. Banner (The Hulk)
That's his M.O., isn't it? I mean, what are we, a team? No, we're a chemical mixture that makes chaos. We're a time bomb.
  • 3
Nick Fury
You need to step away.
  • 1
Tony Stark (Ironman)
Why shouldn't the guy let off a little steam?
  • 5
Captain America
You know damn well why. Back off!
  • 4
Tony Stark (Ironman)
Oh, I'm starting to want you to make me.
  • 12
Captain America
Yeah. Big man in a suit of armour. Take that off, what are you?
  • 3
Tony Stark (Ironman)
Genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist.
  • 29
Captain America
I know guys with none of that worth ten of you.
  • 22
Captain America
I've seen the footage. The only thing you really fight for is yourself. You're not the guy to make the sacrifice play, to lay down on a wire and let the other guy crawl over you.
  • 7
Tony Stark (Ironman)
I think I would just cut the wire.
  • 24
Captain America
Always a way out. You know, You may not be a threat but you better stop pretending to be a hero.
  • 8
Tony Stark (Ironman)
A hero? Like you? You're a laboratory experiment, Rogers. Everything special about you came out of a bottle.
  • 16
Captain America
Put on the suit. Let's go a few rounds.
  • 2
Thor
(LAUGHS)... You people are so petty and tiny.
  • 23
Dr. Banner (The Hulk)
Yeah, this is a team.
  • 5
Nick Fury
Agent Romanoff, would you escort Dr Banner back to his...
  • 1
Dr. Banner (The Hulk)
Where? You rented my room.
  • 3
Nick Fury
The cell was just in case...
  • 1
Dr. Banner (The Hulk)
In case you needed to kill me. But you can't. I know, I tried. I got low. I didn't see an end.So, I put a bullet in my mouth, and the other guy spit it out. So I moved on. I focused on helping other people. I was good. Until you dragged me back into this freak show and put everyone here at risk. You want to know my secret, Agent Romanoff? You want to know how I stay calm?
  • 7
Captain America
Dr Banner, put down the sceptre.
  • 4
Tony Stark (Ironman)
Got it.
  • 2
Dr. Banner (The Hulk)
Sorry, kids, you don't get to see my party trick after all.
  • 6
Thor
You located the Tesseract?
  • 1
Tony Stark (Ironman)
I could get there fastest.
  • 2
Thor
The Tesseract belongs on Asgard. No human is a match for it.
  • 1
Captain America
You're not going alone.
  • 2
Tony Stark (Ironman)
You're gonna stop me?
  • 3
Captain America
Put on the suit, let's find out.
  • 6
Tony Stark (Ironman)
I'm not afraid to hit an old man.
  • 17
Captain America
Put on the suit.
  • 4
Dr. Banner (The Hulk)
Oh, my God.
  • 2
Captain America
Put on the suit.

Yeah.

Fire in engine three!
  • 1
Agent Hill

  • 1
Unknown Agent 2
Turbine looks mostly intact but it's impossible to get out there to make repairs while we're in the air.
  • 1
Agent Hill
If we lose one more engine, we won't be. Somebody's got to get outside and patch that engine.
  • 1
Nick Fury

Tony Stark (Ironman)
I'm on it.

We're flying blind.Navigation's recalibrating after the engine failure.

  • 1
Unknown Agent
Yes, sir.

Nick Fury
Then put it on the left. Get us over water. One more turbine goes down, and we drop.
