Steve quotes from Avengers: Endgame (2019)

Steve

We've been hunting Thanos for three weeks now — deep space scans and satellites, and we got nothing. Tony, you fought him...

Who told you that? I didn't fight him. No, he wiped my face with a planet while the Bleecker Street Magician gave away the stone. That's what happened, there's no fight...

Steve

Okay, did he give you any clues, any coordinates, anything?

I saw this coming a few years back, I had a Vision, but I didn't want to believe it. I thought I was dreaming.

Steve

Tony, I'm going to need you to focus...

And I needed you, as in past tense. That trumps what you need. It's too late, buddy. Sorry. [standing up] You know what I need? [knocks his cereal bowl away in anger] I need a shave. And I believe I remember telling all of youse...

Tony, Tony, Tony...

...alive and otherwise, that what we needed was a suit of armor around the world! Remember that? Whether it impacted our precious freedoms or not, that's what we needed!

Steve

Well, that didn't work out, did it?

I said we'd lose. You said, "we'll do that together too." Guess what, Cap? We lost, and you weren't there. But that's what we do, right? Our best work after the fact? We're the Avengers, we're the Avengers? Not the Pre-vengers, right? Okay?

You made your point. Just sit down.

Nah, nah. Here’s my point.

Tony, you’re sick! Sit down! Sit!

She’s great, by the way! We need you—you're new blood! Bunch of tired old mules! I got NOTHING for you, Cap! I've got no coordinates, no clues, no strategies, no options... zero, zip, nada. No trust — liar. [Tony takes off his arc reactor and slaps it into Steve's hand] Here, take this. You find him, you put that on, you hide...

Steve

Tony!

I'm fine. I... [collapses]

Oh, no...

Where are they?

Answer the question.

Thanos

The universe required correction. After that, the stones served no purpose beyond temptation.

You murdered TRILLIONS! [shoves Thanos to the ground]

Thanos

You should be grateful. [gets punched by Bruce]

Where are the stones?

Thanos

Gone. Reduced to atoms.

You used them two days ago!

Thanos

I used the stones to destroy the stones. It nearly killed me, but the work is done. It always will be. I am... inevitable.

We have to tear this place apart. He has to be lying!

Nebula

My father is many things. A liar is not one of them.

Thanos

Ahhh. Thank you, daughter. Perhaps I treated you too harshly– [Gets decapitated by Thor]

What? What did you do?

Thor

I went for the head.

Banner

Okay, here we go. Time travel test number one. Scott, fire up the uhhhh…the van thing. [Scott opens the portal]

Steve

Breakers are set, emergency generators are on standby.

Banner

Good. 'Cause if we blow the grid, I don't wanna lose tiny here in the 1950's.

Scott

Excuse me?

He's kidding. You can't say things like that.

Banner

It was a bad joke.

You were kidding, right?

Banner

I have no idea. We're talking about time travel here. Either it's all a joke, or none of it is. [loudly and gives Scott a thumbs up] We're good! Get your helmet on, Scott. I'm gonna send you back a week, let you walk around for an hour, then bring you back in 10 seconds. Makes sense?

Scott

Perfectly not confusing.

Steve

Good luck, Scott. You got this.

Scott

You're right. I do, Captain America!

Banner

On the count of 3. 3…2…1!

Young Scott

Uh, guys? T-This doesn't feel right.

Steve

What is this?

Banner

What's going on?

Who is that?

Banner

Hold on.

Is that Scott?

Young Scott

Yes, it's Scott!

Elderly Scott

OWW! My back…!

Steve

What is this?

Banner

Can I get a little space here.

Steve

Yeah, yeah. Can you bring him back?

Banner

I'm working on it! [taps the side of the button pad, trying to pull back Scott]

Steve

It's a baby.

Banner

It's Scott!

As a baby!

Banner

He'll grow!

Bring Scott back!

Banner

When I say kill the power, kill the power.

Oh, my God.

Banner

And…kill it!

Scott

Somebody peed my pants…

Oh, thank God.

Scott

But I don't know if it was baby-me or old-me. Or…just me-me.

Banner

Time travel! [Steve just shakes his head and walks away] What? I see this as an absolute win.

Steve

Okay, so the "how" works. Now we gotta figure out the "when" and the "where." Almost all of us has had an encounter with at least one of the six Infinity Stones.

Well, I'd substitute the word "encounter" for "damn well near been killed by" one of the six Infinity Stones.

Scott

I haven't, I don't even know what the hell you're all talking about.

Banner

Regardless, we only have enough Pym Particles for one round trip each, and these Stones have been in a lot of different places throughout history.

Our history. So, not a lot of convenient spots to just drop in.

Which means we have to pick our targets.

Correct.

Steve

Let's start with the Aether. Thor, what do you know?

Is he asleep?

No. I'm pretty sure he's dead.

Thor

Where to start? Umm…the Aether, first, is not a stone, someone called it a stone before. It's more of a…an angry sludge thing, so…someone's gonna need to amend that. Here's an interesting story though, many years ago…my grandfather had to hide the stones from the Dark Elves, wooooh, scary beings. So Jane… [an image of Jane Foster pops up on the screen] Oh, there she is. That's Jane. She's– an old flame of mine. She– she stuck her hand inside a rock this one time– and then the Aether stuck itself inside her. And she became very, very sick. So I had to take her to Asgard, which is where I'm from. And we had to try and fix her. We were dating at the time, you see. I got to introduce her to my mother…who's dead… [seeming on the verge of tears] …and, oh, you know, Jane and I aren't even dating anymore, these things happen though you know, nothing last forever… [Tony starts to push Thor back to his chair] I'm not done yet, the only thing permanent in life is impermanence.

Awesome. Eggs? Breakfast?

Thor

No. I'd like a Bloody Mary.

Quill said he stole the Power Stone from Morag.

Scott

Is that a person?

Morag's a planet, Quill was a person.

Scott

A planet? Like in outer space?

Oh, look: it's like a little puppy, all happy and everything. [starts petting Scott] Do you want to go to space? You want to go to space, puppy? I'll take you to space!

Nebula

Thanos found the Soul Stone on Vormir.

What is Vormir?

Nebula

A dominion of death, at the very center of Celestial existence. It's where... Thanos murdered my sister.

Scott

Not it.

That Time Stone guy…

Banner

Doctor Strange.

Yeah, what kind of doctor was he?

Neuro stuff meets rabbit from a hat. Nice place in the Village, though.

Banner

Yeah. Sullivan Street. [Corrects himself] Hmm– Bleecker.

Wait, he lived in New York?

No, he lived in Toronto.

Guys, if you pick the right year, there are three Stones in New York.

Banner

Shut the front door!

What's he been doing?

Thor

Absolutely nothing.

Where are the stones?

Somewhere under all this. All I know is he doesn't have them.

So we keep it that way.

Thor

You know it's a trap, right?

Yeah. And I don't much care.

Thor

Good. Just as long as we are all in agreement... [Summons Mjølnir and Stormbreaker] Let's kill him properly this time.

Thanos

You could not live with your own failure. Where did that bring you? Back to me. I thought by eliminating half of life, the other half would thrive. But you've shown me that's impossible. And as long as there are those that remember what was, there will always be those that are unable to accept what can be. They will resist.

Yep, we're all kinds of stubborn.

Thanos

I'm thankful. Because now, I know what I must do. I will shred this universe down to its last atom - and then, with the stones you've collected for me, create a new one. Teeming with life, that knows not what it has lost, but only what it has been given. [Thor starts up Stormbreaker and Mjolnir] A grateful universe.

Born out of blood.

Thanos

They'll never know it. Because you won't be alive to tell them. [The three fight Thanos]

Is that everyone?

What, you wanted more?

Avengers... [he summons Mjolnir] ...assemble.

Cap?

Steve

Hi, Sam.

So did something go wrong, or did something go right?

Steve

Well, after I put the stones back, I thought, maybe I'll try some of that life Tony was telling me to get.

How did that work out for you?

Steve

It was beautiful.

I'm happy for you. Truly.

Steve

Thank you.

Only thing bumming me out is the fact I have to live in a world without Captain America.

Steve

Oh. That reminds me… [Brings out his shield.] Try it on. [Sam look over to Bucky, who nods, and Sam holds Steve's shield.] How does it feel?

Like it's someone else's.

Steve

It isn't.

Thank you. I'll do my best.

Steve

That's why it's yours. [Shakes Sam's hand]

You wanna tell me about her?

Steve

No. No, I don't think I will.
[In 1948, Steve has time traveled back to be with Peggy Carter. They are dancing to "It's Been a Long, Long Time", and end with a kiss.]
