Thor: The Dark World

Long before the birth of light,

there was darkness.

And from that darkness

came the Dark Elves.

Millennia ago,

the most ruthless of their kind, Malekith

sought to transform our universe

back into one of eternal night.

Such evil was possible

through the power of the Aether,

an ancient force of infinite destruction.

Malekith.

Asgard's forces are upon us.

The noble armies of Asgard,

led by my father King Bor,

waged a mighty war,

against these creatures.

Send in the Kursed!

As the Nine Worlds converged above him,

Malekith could at last unleash the Aether.

But Asgard ripped the weapon from his grasp.

Without it,

the Dark Elves fell.

With the battle all but lost,

Malekith sacrificed his own people

in a desperate attempt,

to lay waste,

to Asgard's army.

Their deaths will mean our survival.

This war is far from over.

Malekith was vanquished,

and the Aether was no more.

Or so we were led to believe.

Sire, the Aether.

Shall we destroy it?

If only we could.

But its power is too great.

Bury it deep.

Somewhere no one will ever find it.

Loki.

Hello, Mother.

Have I made you proud?

Please, don't make this worse.

Define worse?

Enough!

I will speak to the prisoner alone.

I really don't see what all the fuss is about.

Do you not truly feel the gravity of your crimes?

Wherever you go, there is war, ruin,

and death.

I went down to Midgard to rule the people of Earth as a benevolent god.

Just like you.

We are not gods.

We are born, we live, we die.

Just as humans do.

Give or take 5,000 years.

All this because Loki desires...

a throne.

It is my birthright.

Your birthright...

was to die

as a child.

Cast out onto a frozen rock.

If I had not taken you in,

you would not be here now to hate me.

If I am for the axe then for mercy's sake just...

swing it.

It's not that I don't love our little talks, it's just...

I don't love them.

Frigga is the only reason you're still alive,

and you will never see her again.

You will spend the rest of your days...

in the dungeons.

And what of Thor?

You'll make that witless oaf king while I rot in chains.

Thor must strive to undo the damage you have done.

He will bring order to the Nine Realms and then...

yes...

He will be king.

I've got this completely under control!

Is that why everything is on fire?

You're welcome.

All yours.

Hello.

I accept your surrender.

Anyone else?

Perhaps next time we should start with the big one.

Keep moving. Come on!

Keep moving.

Go ahead of me. Don't you turn around!

Where do we go next?

Hogun, the peace is nearly won,

across the Nine Realms.

You should stay here. Be with your people, where your heart is.

Asgard can wait.

You have my thanks.

As you have mine.

Heimdall, when you're ready.

Is Vanaheim secure?

As are Nornheim and Ria.

Though our work would have gone more quickly with you at the fore.

You must think I'm a piece of bread

that needs to be buttered so heavily.

That was not my intent.

For the first time since Bifrost was destroyed,

the Nine Realms are at peace.

They're well reminded of our strength

and you have earned their respect and...

my gratitude.

Thank you.

Nothing out of order except your...

confused and distracted heart.

This isn't about Jane Foster, Father.

Human lives are fleeting, they're nothing.

You'd be better served by what lies in front of you.

I'm telling you this, not as the Allfather,

but as your father.

You are ready.

The time has come for you to take the throne.

Embrace and celebrate what you've won.

Join your warriors.

Eat and drink,

revel in their celebration.

At least pretend to enjoy yourself.

Another!

There was a time when you would celebrate for weeks.

I remember you celebrated the Battle of Harokin

so much that you nearly started the second.

Well, the first was so much fun.

Take a drink with me.

Surely, the Allfather could have no further task for you tonight.

No, this is one I set myself.

It does not go unnoticed that you disappear each night.

There are nine realms.

The future king of Asgard must focus on more than one.

I thank you for your sword

and for your counsel, good Lady Sif.

Hi.

Hi.

So, what's the story with you?

Why does there have to be a story? There's no story.

You spent the first ten minutes of our date

hiding behind a menu that has three choices on it.

It's either chicken, vegetarian, or fish, Jane.

I think there is a story

and I'm thinking the story involves a guy.

It's complicated.

Is he still around?

No, he...

Went away.

I've been there.

The going away. It's hard, isn't it?

I was seeing a woman

and she took a job in New York.

Eventually, the distance killed it.

And the fact that she...

she kept sleeping with other dudes.

No! Oh, so many.

Hi.

Could we get some wine, please?

Sure, I'd love some.

Richard, this is Darcy.

What are you doing here?

Hello.

So, I show up to work at the lab / your mom's house,

fully expecting you to be

moping around in your pajamas, eating ice cream and obsessing about...

You know who.

But you're not.

You're wearing lady clothes.

You even showered, didn't you? You smell good.

Is there a point to all this?

Because there really needs to be a point to all this.

Right.

You know all that scientific equipment you don't look at anymore?

You might want to start looking at it again.

This is the reason we came all the way out here.

It's malfunctioning.

That's what I said.

That's what I did.

I thought you would do something a little more scientific.

I'm sure it's nothing. Yeah, it's...

It doesn't look like nothing.

It kind of looks like the readings that Erik was rambling about.

Our friend Erik

kind of went banana balls.

He's not interested.

I'm not interested. I'm interested.

It's time for you to go now.

Ok.

Short but sweet.

She needs help.

I think I'm going to have the sea bass.

Sea bass, yeah. Sea bass is good.

Sea bass, sea bass, sea bass, sea bass, sea bass, sea bass.

Sea bass...

Sea bass.

Jane?

Maybe you should stop saying sea bass

and go after your friend.
