Tony Stark quotes from Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

Tony Stark

I'm sorry, Earth is closed today! You better pack it up and get outta here!

If you consider failure experience.

Loki

I consider experience experience. Almighty Thanos, I, Loki, Prince of Asgard... [Looks significantly at Thor] Odinson... the rightful King of Jotunheim, God of Mischief, do hereby pledge to you, my undying fidelity.

"Undying." You should choose your words more carefully.

Loki

You... will never be... a god. [Thanos crushes Loki's neck, killing him.]

Thor

No!

No resurrections this time.

Thor

No... Loki...

Tony Stark

Tell me his name again.

Bruce Banner

Thanos. He's a plague, Tony. He invades planets, he takes what he wants, he wipes out half the population. He sent Loki! The attack on New York, that's him!

Stark

This is it... what's our timeline?

Banner

No telling. He has the Power and Space Stones, that already makes him the strongest creature in the whole Universe! If he gets his hands on all 6 Stones, Tony...

He could destroy life on a scale hitherto undreamt of.

Thor

There's six stones out there. Thanos already has the Power Stone because he stole it when he decimated Xandar last week. He stole the Space Stone from me, when he destroyed my ship and slaughtered half my people. The Time and Mind Stones are safe on Earth. They're with the Avengers.

Peter Quill

The Avengers?

Thor

They're Earth's Mightiest Heroes.

Mantis

Like Kevin Bacon? [This line echoes a reference to Footloose made by Quill in Guardians of the Galaxy]

Thor

He may be on the team, I don't know. Haven't been there in a while. As for the Soul Stone, no one's ever seen that. No one even knows where it is. Therefore, Thanos can't get it. Therefore, he's going to Knowhere. Hence, he'll be getting the Reality Stone. You're welcome!

Then we have to go to Knowhere now.

Thor

Wrong. Where we have to go is Nidavellir.

Drax

That's a made up word.

Thor

All words are made-up.

Hold up, Nidavellir is real? Seriously?! I mean, that place is a legend. They make the most powerful, horrific weapons to ever torment the universe. I would very much like to go there, please!

Thor

The rabbit is correct, and clearly the smartest one among you.

Rabbit?

Thor

Only Eitri the Dwarf can make me the weapon I need.

Peter Quill

Let her go, Grimace!

Peter...

Peter Quill

I told you to go right.

Now? Really?

Peter Quill

You let her go!

Ah, the boyfriend.

Peter Quill

I like to think of myself more as a Titan-killing long-term booty call. Let her go.

Peter–

Peter Quill

Or I'm gonna blow that nutsack of a chin right off your face!

Not him.

You promised! You promised.

Oh, daughter. You expect too much from him. [To Quill] She's asked, hasn't she? Do it. [there is a very tense and unpleasant pause. Thanos rolls his head and shoves Gamora towards Quill's gun, egging him on.] DO IT!

Peter Quill

I told you to go right.

I love you, more than anything...

Peter Quill

I love you, too...

I like him.

Tony Stark

Come on. We got a situation. [He leads Peter over to a viewpoint on the torture below. Peter crouches to study the situation, the Cloak leaning over his shoulder.] See him down there? He's in trouble. What's your plan? Go.

Peter Parker

Um. Okay, okay... uh... [Peter and the Cloak pop back upright] Okay, did you ever see this really old movie, Aliens?

Painful, aren't they? They were originally designed for microsurgery. And any one of them...

Could end your friend's life in an instant.

Tony Stark

I gotta tell you, he's not really my friend. Saving his life is more a professional courtesy.

You've saved nothing. Your powers are inconsequential compared to mine.

Tony Stark

Yeah, but the kid's seen more movies.

Tony Stark

This ship is self-correcting its course. Thing's on autopilot.

Can we control it? Fly us home? [Tony is lost in bad memories and does not respond right away.] Stark?

Tony Stark

Yeah?

Can you get us home?

Tony Stark

Yeah, I heard you. I'm thinking– I'm not so sure we should.

Under no circumstance can we bring the Time Stone to Thanos. I don't think you quite understand what's at stake here.

Tony Stark

No. It's you who doesn't understand, that Thanos has been inside my head for six years since he sent an army to New York and now he's back! And I don't know what to do. So I'm not so sure if it's a better plan to fight him on our turf or his, but you saw what they did, what they can do. At least on his turf, he's not expecting it. So I say we take the fight to him, Doctor. Do you concur?

Alright, Stark. We go to him. But you have to understand– if it comes to saving you or the kid or the Time Stone... I will not hesitate to let either of you die. I can't, because the fate of the universe depends on it.

Tony Stark

Nice. Good. Moral compass. We're straight. [Stepping over to Peter, he formally taps each of Peter's shoulders with the edge of his hand, dubbing him as is done at a knighting.] Alright, kid. You're an Avenger now. [He doesn't look at him as he says those words, knowing well what he is signing him up for.]
[Peter looks at Tony in disbelief, and then cycles through delight, satisfaction, pride and determination, and braces himself for what's to come.]

Peter Quill

Everybody, stay where you are, chill the eff out... [Quill powers off his helmet] I'm gonna ask you this one time. Where is Gamora?

Tony Stark

Yeah, I'll do you one better. Who's Gamora?

Drax

I'll do you one better. Why is Gamora?

Peter Quill

Tell me where the girl is, or I swear to you, I'm gonna French-fry this little freak. [Points his blaster to Spider-Man's face]

Tony Stark

Let's do it! You shoot my guy and I'll blast him! [Tony extends his nanotech cannon at Drax's face] Let's go!

Drax

Do it, Quill! I can take it.

Mantis

No, he can't take it!

She's right. You can't.

Peter Quill

Oh yeah? You don't wanna tell me where she is? That's fine. I'll kill all three of you and I'll beat it out of Thanos myself. [To Spider-Man] Starting with you.

Wait, what? Thanos? [Trying to inject clarity and sanity into the situation] Alright, let me ask you this one time: What master do you serve?

Peter Quill

What master do I serve? What am I supposed to say, "Jesus"?

Tony Stark

You're from Earth.

Peter Quill

I'm not from Earth, I'm from Missouri.

Tony Stark

Yeah, that's on Earth, dipshit. What are you hassling us for?

Peter Parker

So you're not with Thanos?

Peter Quill

With Thanos? No, I'm here to kill Thanos. He took my girl. Wait, who are you?

Peter Parker

We're the Avengers, man.

Mantis

You're the ones Thor told us about!

Tony Stark

You know Thor?

Peter Quill

Yeah, tall guy, not that good-looking, needed saving.

Where is he now?

Hey, what was that?

I went forward in time to view alternate futures. To see all the possible outcomes of the coming conflict.

Quill

How many did you see?

14,000,605.

Stark

How many did we win?

One.

Tony Stark

Is he under? Don't let up.

Mantis

Be quick. He is very strong.

Tony Stark

Parker, help! Get over here. [Spider-Man drops his web-line, and hurries to help Tony with the gauntlet.] She can't hold him much longer. Let's go.

Peter Parker

We gotta open his fingers to get it off.

Peter Quill

I thought you'd be harder to catch. For the record, this was my plan. Not so strong now, huh? Where is Gamora?

My... Gamora...?

Peter Quill

No, bullshit! Where is she?

Mantis

He is in anguish.

Peter Quill

Good.

Mantis

He... he... he mourns.

Drax

What does this monster have to mourn?!

Nebula

Gamora...

Peter Quill

What?

Nebula

He took her to Vormir. He came back with the Soul Stone, but she didn't.

Tony Stark

Okay, Quill, you gotta cool it right now, you understand?

Tony Stark

Don't, don't, don't engage, we almost got this off!

Peter Quill

Tell me she's lying. [Enraged] ASSHOLE! Tell me you didn't do it!

I... had... to...

Peter Quill

No, you didn't! No, you didn't! [He continues to rage and then pistol-whipping Thanos twice in the face, causing Mantis to let go in pain.] NO, YOU DIDN'T!

Quill!

Tony Stark

Hey, stop! Hey, stop! Stop! Hey, stop! Stop!

Peter Parker

It's coming! It's coming! It's coming! [Getting the fingers completely loose] I got it! I got it–!

Peter Parker

Oh, God. [He jumps and wraps his arms and legs around her, extending his spider legs to form a roll cage for a safe landing.]

You're full of tricks, wizard.

No!

Yet you never once used your greatest weapon. [He crushes it in his bare hand] A fake. [He throws Doctor Strange hard enough that Doctor Strange's head hits stone and he passes out.]

Tony Stark

You throw another moon at me, and I'm gonna to lose it.

Stark.

Stark

You know me?

I do. You're not the only one cursed with knowledge.

Stark

My only curse is you.

Come on!
[The rockets all explode on target, momentarily shrouding Thanos in smoke. Before it clears, Iron Man pile drives into Thanos horizontally, using his single super-jet boot configuration. As he bounces off, he flips and sticks his landing, immediately re-configuring his boots into ground clamps for stability and his gloves into rocket-driven battering rams, punching Thanos into a ruined wall behind him.]
[Thanos shakes it off quickly, reaches forward and tears Iron Man's helmet off, revealing Tony's surprised expression before the suit recovers automatically and re-forms his head protection. The Titan makes use of the fractional delay and punches back hard, sending Iron Man sliding meters away, giving Thanos time to rip the brace device off the gauntlet. He immediately uses the Power Stone to stream furiously lambent energy at his opponent, who forms a shield to kneel behind just as instantly, getting pushed back even further by the incredible force.]

All that for a drop of blood?
[He smiles briefly punches Iron Man, sending him pinwheeling, then starts beating him with his fists. Iron Man attempts to block the blows with his forearms, but Thanos is relentless, picking him up by the helmet and blasting his midsection with the Power Stone. The gaps in nanite coverage are now gaping, as the armor loses the ability to recover from the intensity and extent of the damage. Iron Man lands hard from the Power blast, struggles to one knee and fires his right hand repulsor at the inexorable Thanos; the beam is easily deflected by the gauntlet. He gets to both feet as the suit tries to complete repairs, adding the beam from his left hand as well. Thanos walks right up to him, and backhands the incomplete helmet completely off Tony's head. He crosses his arms to block a blow from Thanos' gauntlet, and has his left hand caught over his head. In desperation, he forms what's left of his right glove into a short-sword, which is also easily caught by Thanos, snapping it off clean and driving it through Tony's left side. The fight is over.]

You have my respect, Stark. When I'm done, half of humanity will still be alive. I hope they remember you.

Stop! [Sitting up and sounding entirely damaged] Spare his life, and I will give you the stone.

No tricks. [Doctor Strange shakes his head as Thanos points all four Stones at him instead.]

Tony Stark

Don't–!

One to go. [An energy blast hits the gauntlet right in the empty Mind Stone setting, and Thanos grimaces in surprise.]

Peter Quill

Where is he?!

Peter Quill

Did we just lose?

Stark

Why'd you do that?

We are in the endgame now.'

I understand, my child. Better than anyone.

Wanda Maximoff

You... could never.

Today, I lost more than you can know. But now is no time to mourn. Now... is no time at all. [He reaches forward, clenching the gauntlet, emerald filigree surrounding his wrist, making a gesture very similar to that Doctor Strange made when activating the Eye of Agamotto. In response, a bead of yellow light starts gathering in on itself as time is reversed and growing in size, solidifying into an intact and conscious Vision]

Wanda Maximoff

No! [She lunges for Vision and is swatted away.]
[Thanos picks up Vision by the throat, lifting him to eye-level, and digs the fingers of his right hand into Vision's forehead, digging out the Mind Stone. He pulls it loose, and Vision goes limp and colorless; he tosses the lifeless android aside like trash. Bringing his gauntleted hand up, he slowly moves the Mind Stone over the last empty setting, and drops it in. The energy surge is much more than any previous – his torso is wreathed with iridescent static and he bellows from the sensations.]
[As Thanos studies the completed gauntlet, a massive bolt of lighting strikes him, digging him into the ground and grinding him back for meters. Thor has arrived, eyes glowing with power, stooping down from the sky like a bird of prey. The God of Thunder pauses his attack, reverses his position, raises Stormbreaker above his head and hurls it – Thanos fires the whole might of the gauntlet against it, but it only creates a rainbow-like bow-shock, not slowing the ax as it slams right into Thanos' chest. ]

Thor

I told you... You'd die for that!

You... should have gone for the head!

Thor

NO!

Daughter?

Did you do it?

Yes.

What did it cost?

...Everything.

Thor

What did you do? WHAT DID YOU DO?!

Captain America

Where'd he go? Thor, where'd he go?

Bucky Barnes

Steve?

T'Challa

Up, General! Up! This is no place to die. [He holds out his hand for Okoye. But T'Challa then turns into ashes and an anguish Okoye falls back on the ground]

Kumkani?!

I... am... Groot... (Translation: "Dad?")

KUMANI!

No. No, no, no, no! Groot... No...

Sam!

Sam, where you at?!

Mantis

Something's happening. [She gets disintegrated into ashes]

Drax

Quill?

Tony Stark

Steady, Quill.

Peter Quill

Aw, man.

Tony. [Tony turns to Dr. Strange] There was no other way. [Finally gets erased]

Peter Parker

Mr. Stark? I don't feel so good...

Tony Stark

You're alright.

Peter Parker

I don't... I don't know what's happening. I don't– [Parker falls into Stark's arms, clutching him tight and crying] I don't wanna go, I don't wanna go! Sir, please. Please, I don't wanna go. I don't wanna go. I'm sorry.

Nebula

He did it.

What is this? What the hell is happening?

Captain America

Oh, God.
[Meanwhile, in a different place, in a rustic house on a terraced slope with a scarecrow made of discarded armor, Thanos sits down and watches the sun rise.]
