Too Late Full Transcript
Jarvis
Sir, I've turned off the arc reactor but the device is already self-sustaining.
  • 3
Tony Stark (Ironman)
Shut it down, Dr Selvig.
  • 2
Dr. Selvig
It's too late! She can't stop now. She wants to show us something! A new universe.
  • 0
Tony Stark (Ironman)
Okay.
  • 1
Jarvis
The barrier is pure energy. It's unbreachable.
  • 2
Tony Stark (Ironman)
Yeah, I got that. Plan B.
  • 1
Jarvis
Sir, the Mark 7 is not ready for deployment.
  • 1
Tony Stark (Ironman)
Then skip the spinning rims. We're on the clock.
  • 4
Loki
Please tell me you're going to appeal to my humanity.
  • 7
Tony Stark (Ironman)
Actually, I'm planning to threaten you.
  • 4
Loki
You should have left your armour on for that.
  • 7
Tony Stark (Ironman)
Yeah. It's seen a bit of mileage, and you've got the glow stick of destiny. Would you like a drink?
  • 5
Loki
Stalling me won't change anything.
  • 5
Tony Stark (Ironman)
No, no. Threatening. No drink? Are you sure? I'm having one.
  • 6
Loki
The Chitauri are coming. Nothing will change that. What have I to fear?
  • 3
Tony Stark (Ironman)
The Avengers. That's what we call ourselves. We're sort of like a team. "Earth's mightiest heroes"-type thing.
  • 10
Loki
Yes, I've met them.
  • 5
Tony Stark (Ironman)
Yeah. It takes us a while to get any traction, I'll give you that one. But let's do a head count, here. Your brother, the demigod, a super soldier, a living legend who kind of lives up to the legend. A man with breathtaking anger-management issues, a couple of master assassins, and you, big fella, you've managed to piss off every single one of them.
  • 21
Loki
That was the plan.
  • 4
Tony Stark (Ironman)
Not a great plan. When they come, and they will, they'll come for you.
  • 4
Loki
I have an army.
  • 16
Tony Stark (Ironman)
We have a Hulk.
  • 39
Loki
I thought the beast had wandered off.
  • 2
Tony Stark (Ironman)
You're missing the point. There is no throne. There is no version of this where you come out on top. Maybe your army comes and maybe it's too much for us, but it's all on you. Because if we can't protect the Earth, you can be damn well sure we'll avenge it.
  • 24
Loki
How will your friends have time for me when they are so busy fighting you? This usually works.
  • 6
Tony Stark (Ironman)
Well, performance issues, it's not uncommon. One out of five... Jarvis, anytime now.
  • 14
Loki
You will all fall before me.
  • 8
Tony Stark (Ironman)
Deploy! Deploy!
  • 2
Tony Stark (Ironman)
And there's one other person you pissed off. His name was Phil.
  • 19
Tony Stark (Ironman)
Right.Army.
  • 3
Thor
Loki! Turn off the Tesseract, or I'll destroy it.
  • 1
Loki
You can't. There is no stopping it. There is only the war.
  • 2
Thor
So be it.
  • 2
Natasha (Black Widow)
Stark, we're on your three, headed northeast.
  • 2
Tony Stark (Ironman)
What? Did you stop for drive-through? Swing up Park. I'm going to lay them out for you.
  • 4
Jarvis
Sir, we have more incoming.
  • 1
Tony Stark (Ironman)
Fine. Let's keep them occupied.
  • 1
Barton (Hawkeye)
Nat?
  • 1
Natasha (Black Widow)
I see him.
  • 3
Captain America
We got to get back up there. Stark, are you seeing this?
  • 3
Tony Stark (Ironman)
Seeing. Still working on believing. Where's Banner? Has he shown up yet?
  • 4
Captain America
Banner?
  • 2
Tony Stark (Ironman)
Just keep me posted. Jarvis, find me a soft spot.
  • 2
Thor
Look at this! Look around you! You think this madness will end with your rule?
  • 1
Loki
It's too late. It's too late to stop it.
  • 3
Thor
No. We can, together.
  • 2
Loki
Sentiment.
  • 5
Barton (Hawkeye)
We've got civilians still trapped up here.
  • 1
Captain America
Loki. They're fish in a barrel down there.
  • 1
Natasha (Black Widow)
We got this. It's good. Go.
  • 1
Captain America
Do you think you can hold them off?
  • 1
Barton (Hawkeye)
Captain, it would be my genuine pleasure.
  • 2
Natasha (Black Widow)
Just like Budapest all over again.
  • 8
Barton (Hawkeye)
You and I remember Budapest very differently.
  • 18
Policeman 1
It's going to be an hour before they can scramble the National Guard.
  • 0
Policeman 2
National Guard? Does the army know what's happening here?
  • 0
Policeman 1
Do we?
  • 0
Captain America
You need men in these buildings. There are people inside and they're going to be running right into the line of fire. You take them to the basements or through the subway. You keep them off the streets. I need a perimeter as far back as 39th.
  • 1
Policeman 2
Why the hell should I take orders from you?
  • 2
Policeman 2
I need men in those buildings. Lead the people down and away from the streets. We're going to set up a perimeter all the way down to 39th Street.
  • 5
Tony Stark (Ironman)
Well, we got its attention. What the hell was step two?
  • 1
Captain America
What's the story upstairs?
  • 0
Thor
The power surrounding the Cube is impenetrable.
  • 0
Tony Stark (Ironman)
Thor's right. We got to deal with these guys.
  • 0
Natasha (Black Widow)
How do we do this?
  • 1
Captain America
As a team.
  • 2
Thor
I have unfinished business with Loki.
  • 1
Barton (Hawkeye)
Yeah? Well, get in line.
  • 9
Captain America
Save it. Loki's going to keep this fight focused on us, and that's what we need. Without him, these things could run wild. We got Stark up top. He's going to need us to...
  • 0
Dr. Banner (The Hulk)
So, this all seems horrible.
  • 1
Natasha (Black Widow)
I've seen worse.
  • 2
Dr. Banner (The Hulk)
Sorry.
  • 1
Natasha (Black Widow)
No, we could use a little worse.
  • 4
Captain America
Stark, we got him.
  • 0
Tony Stark (Ironman)
Banner?
  • 0
Captain America
Just like you said.
  • 0
Tony Stark (Ironman)
Then tell him to suit up. I'm bringing the party to you.
  • 3
Natasha (Black Widow)
I don't see how that's a party.
  • 11
Captain America
Dr Banner. Now might be a really good time for you to get angry.
  • 2
Dr. Banner (The Hulk)
That's my secret, Captain. I'm always angry.
  • 27
Tony Stark (Ironman)
Hold on!
  • 1
Loki
Send the rest.
  • 1
Natasha (Black Widow)
Guys.
  • 1
Tony Stark (Ironman)
Call it, Captain.
  • 2
Captain America
All right, listen up. Until we can close that portal, our priority is containment. Barton, I want you on that roof. Eyes on everything. Call out patterns and strays. Stark, you got the perimeter. Anything gets more than three blocks out, you turn it back or you turn it to ash.
  • 3
Barton (Hawkeye)
Can you give me a lift?
  • 1
Tony Stark (Ironman)
Right. Better clench up, Legolas.
  • 9
Captain America
Thor, you got to try and bottleneck that portal. Slow them down. You got the lightning. Light the bastards up. You and me, we stay here on the ground. We keep the fighting here. And Hulk... Smash.
  • 9
Agent Hill
Sir. The Council is on.
