The Führer is not accustomed to being ignored, Herr Schmidt. He funds your research because you promised him weapons.
You serve at his pleasure. He gave you this facility as a reward for your...injuries.
Schmidt
A reward?! Call it what it is...exile! I no longer reflect his vision of Aryan perfection!
You think this is about appearances? Your HYDRA division has failed to produce so much as a rifle in over a year, and we have learned through local intelligence you had mounted a full-scale incursion into Norway!
The Führer feels- how does he put it?- the Red Skull has been indulged long enough!
Schmidt
Gentlemen, you have come to see the results of our work. Let me show you. [shows them to his lab] Hitler speaks of a Thousand-Year Reich, but he cannot feed his armies for a month. His troops spill their blood across every field in Europe, but still he is no closer to achieving his goals. [pulls sheet off Tesseract-powered laser cannon]
And I suppose you still aim to win this war through magic?
Schmidt
Science. But I understand your confusion. Great power has always baffled primitive men. HYDRA is assembling an arsenal to destroy my enemies in one stroke, wherever they are, regardless of how many forces they possess, all in a matter of hours.
Your enemies?
Schmidt
My weapons contain enough destructive power to decimate every hostile capital on Earth. Quite simply, gentlemen, I have harnessed the power of the gods.
Thank you, Schmidt.
Schmidt
For what?
For making it clear how obviously mad you are.
Berlin is on this map!
Schmidt
So it is. [Aims cannon at the SS officers]
You will be punished for your insolence! You will be brought before the Fūhrer himself! [Schmidt kills him and Schneider]
Schmidt! [Vaporizes under laser blast]
Schmidt
My apologies, Doctor, but we both knew HYDRA could grow no further in Hitler's shadow. Hail HYDRA.
Hail HYDRA!
Hail HYDRA!
