R Rocket
[The team attacks Thanos at his home. As Steve and Natasha enter, Rocket turns the Infinity Gauntlet over to find the Infinity Stones missing]
Oh, no...
CA Captain America
[to Thanos]
Where are they?
CM Captain Marvel
[Tightens her vise grip on Thanos' throat]
Answer the question.
Thanos
The universe required correction. After that, the stones served no purpose beyond temptation.
B Bruce
You murdered TRILLIONS! [shoves Thanos to the ground]
Thanos
You should be grateful. [gets punched by Bruce]
BW Black Widow
Where are the stones?
Thanos
Gone. Reduced to atoms.
B Bruce
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.
WM War Machine
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]
R Rocket
What? What did you do?
Thor
I went for the head.
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.
S Stark
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.
S Stark
Our history. So, not a lot of convenient spots to just drop in.
C Clint
Which means we have to pick our targets.
Steve
Let's start with the Aether. Thor, what do you know?
N Natasha
[Thor is sitting on a chair with his sunglasses on]
Is he asleep?
R Rhodey
No. I'm pretty sure he's dead.
Thor
[wakes up]
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.
S Stark
Awesome. Eggs? Breakfast?
Thor
No. I'd like a Bloody Mary.
R Rocket
Quill said he stole the Power Stone from Morag.
Scott
Is that a person?
R Rocket
Morag's a planet, Quill was a person.
Scott
A planet? Like in outer space?
R Rocket
[Mockingly]
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.
N Natasha
[in a business-like tone]
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.
N Natasha
[lying on a paper-filled table]
That Time Stone guy…
Banner
[lying down on the floor]
Doctor Strange.
N Natasha
Yeah, what kind of doctor was he?
S Stark
Neuro stuff meets rabbit from a hat. Nice place in the Village, though.
Banner
Yeah. Sullivan Street. [Corrects himself] Hmm– Bleecker.
N Natasha
Wait, he lived in New York?
S Stark
[Sarcastically]
No, he lived in Toronto.
N Natasha
Guys, if you pick the right year, there are three Stones in New York.
Banner
[Sits up in surprise]
Shut the front door!
IM Iron Man
[After the Snap is undone, Iron Man, Captain America, and Thor approach Thanos from 2014 after his attack on the New Avengers Facility, who is fully aware of his plan's success and his fate and the Avengers' attempts to undo his plan, and has arrived at Earth]
What's he been doing?
Thor
Absolutely nothing.
CA Captain America
Where are the stones?
IM Iron Man
Somewhere under all this. All I know is he doesn't have them.
CA Captain America
So we keep it that way.
Thor
You know it's a trap, right?
IM Iron Man
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
[The three walk over to confront Thanos face-to-face]
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.
IM Iron Man
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.
CA Captain America
Born out of blood.
Thanos
They'll never know it. Because you won't be alive to tell them. [The three fight Thanos]
