Scenes with Mordo

4 scenes
[After Mordo hands him a card that reads "Shamballa"]

What is this? My mantra?

Mordo

It's the Wi-Fi password. We're not savages.

Mordo
[Strange is experimenting with time manipulation using the Eye of Agamotto.] [Bursting in]

STOP! Tampering with continuum probability is forbidden!

I was just doing exactly what it said in the book!

Wong

And what did the book say, about the dangers of performing that ritual?

I don't know, I hadn't gotten to that part yet.

Mordo

Temporal manipulations can create branches in time. Unstable dimensional openings! Spatial paradoxes, time loops! You want to get stuck experiencing the same moment over and over again forever, or never having existed at all?!

They really should put the warnings before this stuff.

[Strange regroups with Mordo in the New York Sanctum following the Ancient One's death]

She's dead.

Mordo

You were right. She wasn't who I thought she was.

She was complicated.

Mordo

Complicated. The Dark Dimension is volatile, dangerous. What if it overtook her? She taught us it was forbidden while she drew on its power to steal centuries of life.

She did what she thought was right.

Mordo

The bill comes due. Don't you see? Her transgressions led the Zealots to Dormammu. Kaecilius was her fault, and here we are in the consequence of her deception. A world on fire.

Pangborn
[Post-credits scene: Mordo visits Pangborn in his workshop.]

Can I help you?

Mordo

They carried you into Kamar-Taj on a stretcher. Look at you now, Pangborn.

Pangborn

Mordo. So what can I do for you, man?

Mordo

I've been away for many months now, and I've had a revelation. The true purpose of a sorcerer is to twist things out of their proper shape. Stealing power. Perverting nature. Like you.

Pangborn

I've stolen nothing. This is my power. Mine.

Mordo

Power has a purpose.

Pangborn
[Pangborn picks up a crowbar and tries to attack Mordo, who strips him of his powers and restores his paralysis.]

Why are you doing this?

Mordo

Because I see, at long last, what's wrong with the world. Too many sorcerers.
