Thor Quotes
The powerful but arrogant god Thor is cast out of Asgard to live amongst humans in Midgard (Earth), where he soon becomes one of their finest defenders.
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!
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.

[an overcome Odin collapses]
Loki: Guards! Guards, please help!
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] HEY!
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!
Thor: And you are an old man and a fool!
Odin: Yes... I was a fool, to think you were ready.

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.
Darcy: I know, it's great right?
Thor: ANOTHER!

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...

[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.
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.

King Laufey: I... accept.
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.
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: 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!
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!

[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: Loki. What are you doing here?

[Loki leaves, just as Coulson returns]
Agent Coulson: [having heard Thor] "Goodbye?" I just got back.
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.
[dashes the plate from Volstagg's hands]

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?
Thor: Do not dishonor my father's name with your lies!

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...

[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. Of course you can have your equipment back. You're going to need to need it to continue your research.
Thor: 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!

[grabs Jane, flies off]
Agent Coulson: Wait, we need to debrief you!
Thor: Why don't you tell her? How you sent the Destroyer to kill our friends, to kill me!
Frigga: What?
Loki: Well, I must have been enforcing father's last command.
Thor: You're a talented liar, brother. Always have been.
Loki: It's good to have you back. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to destroy Jotunheim!
Frigga: What?
Loki: Well, I must have been enforcing father's last command.
Thor: You're a talented liar, brother. Always have been.
Loki: It's good to have you back. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to destroy Jotunheim!
[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: 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!
Sif: Loki, you must go to the All-Father and convince him to change his mind.
Loki: And if I do, then what? I love Thor more dearly than any of you, but you know what he is. He's arrogant, he's reckless, he's dangerous! You saw how he was today. Is that what Asgard needs from its King?
[Loki walks off]
Sif: He may speak for the good of Asgard, but he's always been jealous of Thor!
Volstagg: We should be grateful to him. He saved our lives.
Hogun: Laufey said, there were traitors in the house of Odin. A master of magic could bring three Jotuns into Asgard.
Fandral: Loki's always been one for mischief, but you're talking about something else entirely!
Loki: And if I do, then what? I love Thor more dearly than any of you, but you know what he is. He's arrogant, he's reckless, he's dangerous! You saw how he was today. Is that what Asgard needs from its King?

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!
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!
Heimdall: Be warned, I shall uphold my sacred oath to protect this realm as its gatekeeper. If your return threatens the safety of Asgard, my gate will remain shut and you will be left to perish on the cold waste of Jotunheim.
Volstagg: Couldn't you just keep the bridge open for us?
Heimdall: Keeping the bridge open would unleash the full power of the Bifrost and destroy Jotunheim, with you on it.
Thor: I have no plans to die today.
Heimdall: None do.
Volstagg: Couldn't you just keep the bridge open for us?
Heimdall: Keeping the bridge open would unleash the full power of the Bifrost and destroy Jotunheim, with you on it.
Thor: I have no plans to die today.
Heimdall: None do.
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: Tell me, Loki, how did you lead the Jotuns into Asgard?
Loki: Do you think the Bifrost is the only way in and out of this realm? There are passages between worlds to which even you, with all your gifts, are blind. But I have need of them no longer, now that I am king. And I say, for your act of treason, you are relieved of your duties as gatekeeper and no longer citizen of Asgard!
Heimdall: Then I need no longer obey you!
[draws his sword]

Agent Coulson: [interrogating Thor] It's not easy to do what you did. You made my men - some of the most highly trained professionals in the world - look like a bunch of minimum-wage mall cops. In my experience, it takes someone who's received similar training to do what you did to them. Why don't you tell me where you received that training? Afghanistan, Chechnya? No, you strike me more as the soldier of fortune type. Who are you?
[Thor, Loki, Sif and the Warriors Three meet Heimdall]
Loki: Leave this to me. Gatekeeper, we seek...
Heimdall: You're not dressed warmly enough.
Loki: I'm sorry?
Heimdall: You think you can deceive me.
Loki: You must be mistaken...
Thor: Enough! Heimdall, may we pass?
Heimdall: Never has an enemy escaped my watch until this day. I want to know how it happened.
Thor: And tell no one where we have gone until we return. Understand?
Volstagg: [to Loki] What's the matter, silver tongue turned to lead?
Loki: Leave this to me. Gatekeeper, we seek...
Heimdall: You're not dressed warmly enough.
Loki: I'm sorry?
Heimdall: You think you can deceive me.
Loki: You must be mistaken...

Thor: And tell no one where we have gone until we return. Understand?
Volstagg: [to Loki] What's the matter, silver tongue turned to lead?
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]
Sif: Yes.
Heimdall: Good.

[about the burglary]
Thor: The Jotuns must pay for what they have done!
Odin: They have paid, with their lives. The Destroyer did its work, the Casket is safe, and all is well.
Thor: All is well? They broke into the weapons vault! If the Frost Giants have stolen even one of these relics...
Odin: They didn't.
Thor: Well I want to know why!
Odin: I have a truce with Laufey, king of the Jotuns.
Thor: He just broke your truce! They know you are vulnerable!
Odin: What action would you take?
Thor: March into Jotunheim as you once did! Teach them a lesson! Break their spirits, so they would never dare try to cross our borders again!
Odin: You're thinking only as a warrior.
Thor: This was an act of war!
Odin: It was the act of but a few, doomed to fail.
Thor: Look how far they got!
Odin: We will find the breach in our defenses and it will be sealed.
Thor: As king of Asgard...!
Odin: BUT YOU'RE NOT KING! Not yet.

Thor: Jane, you have to get everybody out of here!
Jane Foster: What about you?
Volstagg: Thor's going to fight with us!
Thor: My friends, I am just a man. I'd only get in your way or worse get one of you killed. But you can help me gain time and get everyone to safety.
Jane Foster: Well, if you're staying, then so am I!
Thor: We'll need some time!
Fandral: You'll have it!
Jane Foster: What about you?
Volstagg: Thor's going to fight with us!
Thor: My friends, I am just a man. I'd only get in your way or worse get one of you killed. But you can help me gain time and get everyone to safety.
Jane Foster: Well, if you're staying, then so am I!
Thor: We'll need some time!
Fandral: You'll have it!
Loki: What troubles you, gatekeeper?
Heimdall: I turned my gaze upon you in Jotunheim but could neither see you nor hear you. You were shrouded from me like the Frost Giants that had entered this realm.
Loki: Perhaps your senses have weakened after your many years of service.
Heimdall: Or perhaps someone has found a way to hide that which he does not wish me to see.
Loki: You have great power, Heimdall. Did Odin fear you?
Heimdall: No.
Loki: And why is that?
Heimdall: Because he is my king, and I am sworn to obey him.
Loki: He was your king. And you're sworn to obey me now. Yes?
Heimdall: Yes.
Loki: Then you'll open the Bifrost to no-one! Until I have repaired the damage that my brother has done!

[Sif and the Warriors Three enter Asgard's throne room]
Sif: Allfather, we must speak with you urgently...
Loki: [on the throne] My friends.
Fandral: Where is Odin?
Loki: Father has fallen into the Odinsleep. Mother fears he may never awaken again.
Sif: We would speak with her...
Loki: She has refused to leave my father's bedside. You can bring your urgent matter to me, your King.
[Sif and Warriors Three hesitantly kneel before Loki]
Sif: My King, we would ask that you end Thor's banishment.
Loki: My first command cannot be to undo the Allfather's last. We're on the brink of war with Jotunheim. Our people need a sense of continuity, in order to feel safe in these difficult times. All of us must stand together, for the good of Asgard.
Fandral: Yes... of course.
Loki: Good. Then you will wait for my word.
Volstagg: [chuckles] If I may, beg the indulgence of your Majesty, to perhaps reconsider...
Loki: We're done!
Sif: Allfather, we must speak with you urgently...
Loki: [on the throne] My friends.

Loki: We're done!
Thor: There won't be a kingdom to protect if you're afraid to act! The Jotuns must fear me, just as they once feared you!
Odin: Have you forgotten everything I taught you? A warrior's patient!
Thor: While you wait and be patient, the Nine Worlds laugh at us! The old ways are done, yet you stand and give speeches while Asgard falls!
Odin: Have you forgotten everything I taught you? A warrior's patient!
Thor: While you wait and be patient, the Nine Worlds laugh at us! The old ways are done, yet you stand and give speeches while Asgard falls!
Volstagg: We should never have let him go...
Fandral: At least he's only banished, not dead. Which is what we'd all be if that guard hadn't told Odin where we'd gone.
Volstagg: How did the guard even know?
Loki: I told him.
Fandral: What?
Loki: I told him to go to Odin, after we'd left. He should be flogged for taking so long, we should never have reached Jotunheim...
Volstagg: YOU told the guard?
Loki: I saved our lives, and Thor's! I had no idea Father would banish him for what he did.
Fandral: At least he's only banished, not dead. Which is what we'd all be if that guard hadn't told Odin where we'd gone.

King Laufey: Allfather. You look weary.
Odin: Laufey. End this now!
King Laufey: Your boy sought this out.
Odin: You're right. But these were the actions of a boy, treat them as such. We can end this together, here, now, without any more blood shed.
King Laufey: We are beyond diplomacy now, Allfather. You'll get what he came for: war, and death.
Odin: So be it!
Odin: Laufey. End this now!
King Laufey: Your boy sought this out.
