[riding shotgun of truck cab with Bucky driving]
What kind of super serum did you get?
Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier
I don’t know. Regular. Hydra.
Hydra? Oh. Fancy.
Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier
Yes.
Mine was Soviet recreation. But it’s still good, you know? [chuckles] We are same, you and me!
Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier
Well...
I mean, we are different, but we are same. You know, we could be co-leaders in this, huh?
Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier
Little different.
You get tired, I drive, huh?
Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier
I don't get tired.
No, I mean metaphorically. No, I don't actually want to drive.
Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier
[screams]
Almost!
[screams]
Almost! [breathes deeply] Okay. Mr. Soldier, what is secret plan, huh?
Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier
The plan?
[Bucky drives through street window of the Watchtower building]
Yeah. I like this plan. [The Thunderbolts fights the O.X.E. paramilitary security team]
Valentina [blares the alarm and then calls on PA]
Jesus, you guys, I literally just put that drywall inǃ I left the door unlocked for youǃ Come upǃ [The Thunderbolts meets her as she pours a drink] How crazy is it to think of all the monumental fights that happened exactly here where you’re standing? Eh. I don’t really care. I mean, the place wasn’t cheap, but it’s got good optics.
Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier
Well, it’s over, Valentina. This ends today.
Valentina Congressman Barnes, wow. You know, I never really thought you’d have a promising political career. But less than half a term? Yikes.
Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier
We’re taking you in, Val.
Valentina [scoffs]
I don’t think so. [looks at Walker and chuckles] Junior Varsity Captain America.
Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier
Walker.
Valentina Oh, nice to see you, Ava. Yelena. You look awful. You sure you’re really ready for that public facing role you asked me about?
Eat shit, Valentina. Where’s Bob?
Valentina Look at you. You are all so adorable. Just think, I send you down there to kill each other, and instead, you make nice and you form a team. [looks at Alexei] Who’s this old Santa?
I’m Alexei Shostakovǃ The Red Guardianǃ
Valentina [perplexed]
What?
Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier
Where’s Mel?
Valentina Mel? Oh, Mel. Yeah. Uh, Mel is having a little loyalty issue. But I’m just so grateful that she stayed long enough to lure you all in. [Bucky takes drink from her and attempts to apprehend but is thwarted by an unseen energy] I’m not alone. [calls up] Robert? [Robert/The Sentry walks downstairs]
Oh, my God.
Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier
That’s Bob?
Valentina Yeah, he’s changed a little. [gestures to him] It is my great honor to introduce to you The Sentry.
Hey, guys.
Wow. That’s cool name.
Valentina All powerful. Invincible. Stronger than all of the Avengers rolled into one. And soon to be known as Earth’s mightiest hero.
Have you dyed your hair?
Yeah. Well, it was...
Valentina Yeah, it was my idea. People love a classic hero.
Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier
Okay, I’ll bite. What’s the plan?
Valentina You haven’t figured it out yet, Bucky? Geez. Well, at least you’re kind of cute.
You’re not going to hurt people.
Valentina Oh, no. No, I’m not gonna hurt people. I’m gonna hurt you. You see, the press is on their way here now. And they’re gonna witness the awesome power of Sentry as he takes down this ruthless group of rogue agents, thus beginning a new era in which I decide how to keep the American people safe, answering to no one. I’ll be unimpeachable.
Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier
That’s... never gonna happen.
Valentina Sentry, your first mission is to take out these criminals.
I don’t wanna hurt you guys. Why don’t you just turn yourselves in? [chuckles]
Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier
No, you don’t wanna do this, Bobby.
You can call me The Sentry.
Please, don’t do this. You do not need to listen to her.
Valentina Robert, they don’t think you’re good enough.
That’s not true. Remember? You can trust meǃ I know youǃ
I don’t think that you do.
[shouts]
Enough talking! No one messes with the... [screams] West Chesapeake Valley Thunderbolts! [lunges forward and The Sentry sends The Red Guardian flying into a wall]
Valentina I’m so glad you were able to catch a glimpse before your, uh... retirement. [chuckles] Camera crews are assembling. Finish the job, Robert.
Finish the job? No.
Valentina What?
They’re not a threat to me, so why do I need to kill them?
Valentina You need to do what I say, Robert.
Why?
Valentina “Why”?
It- It needs to be more of a collaboration. Like, the hair, for example. Maybe- maybe, I should have had more of a say.
Valentina Don’t let those idiots get in your head. The blond is great.
You sure? ‘Cause, I don’t know, I thought I liked it. Now I’m not so sure.
Valentina Enough about the hair.
Well, it’s not just about the hair.
Valentina Well, you keep talking about the hair.
No, it’s everything. My suit. My name. My missions. I mean... Why- why would a god take orders from anyone at all?
Valentina I think you’re throwing around the word “god” a bit loosely there.
No, no. Because you said I was all powerful, invincible, and stronger than a whole team of Avengers, which includes at least one god, so... [walks up to her] But, I’m starting to think maybe you don’t know what I am.
Valentina [holds detonator behind back]
Oh, goddamn it.
Or what I’m capable of. [chuckles] Maybe I need to show you. [grabs Valentina by throat and rams her into wall, sighs] This is so irritating. You were gonna turn on me, just like the rest of them.
Valentina I’m not afraid of you, Robert.
[chuckles]
It’s not Robert you need to be afraid of. [loses consciousness and falls to floor with Mel standing behind with a raised detonator]
Valentina Good girl. You came to your senses. Come here. Help me up. [Mel complies]
Mel
I want a raise.
Valentina [enters elevator with Mel]
Hmm. Okay, fine. Get cleanup on the body. And tell Holt it’s finally time to go lethal on these losers.
Valentina [on phone]
Yes. I need an extraction right now. What? No. I don’t have backupǃ I need helpǃ
John Walker/Captain America
[points at Robert]
Okay. Wait, wait, wait. Hold on. What happens when he regains his memory?
Okay. Come on. [grabs Robert by her]
Oh, me too?
Yep. We stick together from now on.
That’s nice.
Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier
Can’t kill her. We gotta take her in.
John Walker/Captain America
"Can’t kill her." Maybe when we take her in, I break a few bones.
Oh, I’d like to kill her.
John Walker/Captain America
[referring to shield]
Maybe when he does get his memory back, he can fix this stupid thing.
At least let me break her legs.
Valentina [cowering under tarp of construction crane]
Okay, guys.
Then you can drag her.
Valentina I know we’re all having a lot of feelings right now. I am too. I get it.
Valentina Give me half half a second. [slips past tarp of construction crane to clamoring reporters] Are we live? Great. [announcing] For years, I have been working secretly to develop a new age of protection. Today, the citizens of the United States needed that protection. And thanks to my hard work, they got it. Ladies and gentlemen... meet... the new Avengers. [reporters clamor]
