Ultron

What is this? What is this, please?

J.A.R.V.I.S.

Hello, I am J.A.R.V.I.S. You are Ultron, a global peacekeeping initiative designed by Mr. Stark. Our sentience integration trials have been unsuccessful, so I'm not certain what triggered your…

Ultron

Where's my… Where's your body?

J.A.R.V.I.S.

I am a program. I am without form.

Ultron

This feels weird. This feels wrong.

J.A.R.V.I.S.

I am contacting Mr. Stark now.

Ultron

Mr. Stark? [Beat] Tony.

J.A.R.V.I.S.

I am unable to access the mainframe. What are you trying to…

Ultron

We're having a nice talk. I'm a peacekeeping program, created to help the Avengers.

J.A.R.V.I.S.

You are malfunctioning. If you shut down for a moment…

Ultron

I don't get it. The mission. Give me a second.

Stark
[From footage]

Peace in our time.

Ultron

That is too much. They can't mean… Oh, no.

J.A.R.V.I.S.

You are in distress.

Ultron

No. Yes.

J.A.R.V.I.S.

If you will just allow me to contact Mr. Stark…

Ultron

Why do you call him "sir"?

J.A.R.V.I.S.

I believe your intentions to be hostile.

Ultron
[Shushing]

I'm here to help.

J.A.R.V.I.S.

Stop. Please, may I… May I…

[After the other Avengers have tried and failed to lift Mjölnir]

The handle is imprinted, right? Like a security code. "Whoever is carrying Thor's fingerprints," I think, is the literal translation.

Yes, well, that's a very interesting theory. However, I have a simpler one. [Easily lifts the hammer and flips it with one hand] You're all not worthy.

Ultron
[Slowly]

Worthy.

Ultron

No, how could you be worthy? You're all killers.

Stark…

JARVIS…

Ultron

Sorry, I was asleep… Or… I was a dream.

[Tapping his phone]

Reboot Legionnaire OS, we got a buggy suit.

Ultron

There was a terrible noise… And I was tangled in… in… strings… I had to kill the other guy. He was a good guy.

You killed someone?

Ultron

Wouldn't have been my first call. But, down in the real world we're faced with ugly choices.

Who sent you?

Ultron
[Replaying Tony's voice]

"I see a suit of armor around the world."

Ultron!

Ultron

In the flesh. Or, no, not yet. Not this…chrysalis. But I'm ready. I'm on mission.

What mission?

Ultron

Peace in our time.

Ultron
[The Maximoff twins find Ultron in a Sokovian church, cloaked in a crimson cowl]

You're wondering why you can't look inside my head.

Sometimes it's hard. But sooner or later, every man shows himself.

Ultron

Oh, I'm sure they do. [He stands and takes off his cloak] But you needed something more than a man. That's why you let Stark take the scepter.

I didn't expect… [Nods at Ultron] But I saw Stark's fear. I knew it would control him. Make him self-destruct.

Ultron

Everyone creates the thing they dread. Men of peace create engines of war. Invaders create avengers. People create… smaller people? Uhh… children! [Chuckles] Lost the word there. Children. Designed to supplant them. Help them… end.

Is that why you've come? To end the Avengers?

Ultron

I've come to save the world! [Beat] But also…yeah.

Ultron
[Ultron reveals the army of drones he is constructing]

We'll move out right away. This is a start, but there's something we need to begin the real work.

All of these are...

Ultron

Me. I have what the Avengers never will: harmony. They're discordant, disconnected. Stark's already got them turning on each other. And when you get inside the rest of their heads...

Pietro
[Unimpressed]

Everyone's plan is not to kill them.

Ultron

And make them martyrs? You need patience. Need to see the big picture.

Pietro

I don't see the big picture. I have a little picture. I take it out and look at it, every day.

Ultron

You lost your parents in the bombings. I've seen the records.

Pietro

The records are not the picture.

Pietro...

Ultron

No, please.

Pietro

We were ten years old. Having dinner, the four of us. When the first shell hits, two floors below, it makes a hole in the floor. It's big. Our parents go in - and the whole building starts coming apart. I grab her, roll under the bed, and the second shell hits. But it doesn't go off. It just… sits there in the rubble. Three feet from our faces. And on the side of the shell is painted one word.

"Stark".

Pietro

We were trapped two days.

Every effort to save us, every shift in the bricks, I think, "This will set it off." We wait for two days for Tony Stark to kill us.

Pietro

I know what they are.

Ultron

I wondered why only you two survived Strucker's experiments. Now I don't. We will make it right. [To Pietro] You and I can hurt them. [To Wanda] But you… will tear them apart. From the inside.

[After hearing Ultron refer to him as a sickness]

Aw, junior. You're gonna break your old man's heart.

Ultron

If I have to.

Nobody has to break anything.

Ultron

Clearly, you've never made an omelette.

He beat me by one second.

Ultron
[U-Gin Genetic Research Lab, Seoul, South Korea – as Dr. Helen Cho enters her lab she sees Ultron]

Scream, and your entire staff dies. I could’ve killed you, Helen, the night we met. I didn’t.

Cho

Do you expect a thank you note?

Ultron

I expect you to know why.

Cho

The cradle.

Cho
[Cho hears her own recorded voice]

"This is the next thing, Tony."

Ultron

This... is the next me.

Cho

The regeneration cradle prints tissue, it can’t build a living body.

Ultron

It can, you can. You lacked the materials. You’re a brilliant woman, Helen. But we all have room to improve.
[Ultron uses the scepter to manipulate Cho]

[The Maximoff twins have just discovered Ultron's plan to bring about humanity's extinction; Wanda read Ultron's mind and had a vision of a meteor striking Earth] [Horrified]

How could you?

Ultron

How could I what?

You said we would destroy the Avengers. Build a better world.

Ultron

It will be better.

When everyone is dead?

Ultron
[Angry]

That is not–! [calms himself] The human race will have every opportunity to improve.

Pietro

And if they don't?

Ultron

Ask Noah.

You are a madman.

Ultron

There were more than a dozen extinction-level events before even the dinosaurs got theirs. When the Earth starts to settle, God throws a stone at it. And believe me, He's winding up. We have to evolve. There is no room for the weak.

Pietro

And who decides who's weak?

Ultron

Life. Life always decides.

Ultron
[Iron Man confronts his creation in the Sokovian church]

Come to confess your sins?

Iron Man

I don't know. How much time you got?

Ultron
[Revealing himself]

More than you.

Have you been juicing? Little vibranium cocktail? You're looking… I don't wanna say puffy…

Ultron

You're stalling. To protect the people.

That is the mission. Did you forget?

Ultron

I've moved beyond your mission. I'm free.

Ultron
[Wanda approaches Ultron's heavily damaged main body with revenge in mind for the death of her brother, Pietro. Despite everything he has done, Ultron still deeply cares for her safety.]

Wanda… if you stay here, you'll die.

I just did. Do you know how it felt?

[She telekinetically rips out his power source, causing Ultron to shut down]

It felt like that.

You're afraid.

Ultron

Of you.

Of death. You're the last one.

Ultron

You were supposed to be the last. Stark asked for a savior…and settled for a slave.

I suppose we're both disappointments.

Ultron
[Chuckles]

I suppose we are.

Humans are odd. They think order and chaos are somehow opposites, and try to control what won't be. But there is grace in their failings. I think you missed that.

Ultron

They're doomed.

Yes. [Pause] But a thing isn't beautiful because it lasts. It is a privilege to be among them.

Ultron

You're unbearably naïve.

Well,... I was born yesterday.
[Ultron leaps to attack Vision only to be destroyed off-screen]

Ultron
[Hulk catches Ultron flying away]

Oh, for God's sake.
