Loki: There is a war between the light
and the dark. I feel tragic for the light. I am the tragedy of the
light.. or the dark.. I'm not sure. My brother, my dear brother,
what ever will happen to him. His future is a blinding sun. I can
only feel a blind stomach- shared between us. The rays of the
blinding sun scintillate against his hammer. Thorrrr! Aryan light.
The Norse, the demonized north. The good north. Do the Avengers
trajectory lie- northward?
Ext. The gravelly-ground exterior of a
Russian compound. The Avengers appear.
Captain America: What is a Russian
rebel nowadays.
Iron Man: Good question. I always
believed I was Raskolnikov. Before I became Svigardlov.
Black Widow's eyes glint sullenly in
blackened recognition of something.
Thor: Raskolnikov. A Russian hero?
Iron Man: The only Russian hero.
Black Widow: - hesitates - I think..
I met him.
Iron Man: When was this?
Black Widow: Before my silent screen
career. In Berlin, I think it was. I can't remember. My past
before I became an assassin is blurry.
Iron Man: And then you became an
assassin for the Avengers. Which is why we're all here.
Black Widow: Two blue fluorescent
shades of blur.
Thor: The Russian rebels. They work
for Russia? And are trying to topple the government of the Ukraine.
I always feel I should understand politics more. Politics. My mind
is always hazy with politics. They were always more Loki's foray
than mine.
Black Widow: - suddenly alert –
Loki... how is he?
Thor: Still...under the shadow of
darkness.
Black Widow: I know that feeling. All
too well. All too long.
Thor: So do I. So do I.
Iron Man: We're all death merchants
now. Now that we've started the Avengers.
Captain America: I come from the land
of Fargo. My real name is Steve Buscemi.
Black Widow: - spontaneously crying,
gushing forth tears - My real name is William H. Macy. I'm Jerry
Lundergarten. If I'm pronouncing it right.
Captain America: He was trying to
rescue some kids, right? That's why they captured him at the end.
Iron man: - pause – You know the
secrets of the Illuminatti, don't you.
Captain America: I come from an Ice
age. I see all the ice fractals, all the white noice, between the
text pixels of the screen.
Thor: I- I tried to rescue some kids
once. I failed. My hammer could not save them. I could not call
forth lightning to save them. Never again. What- what did I just
say. - pause – What did I just say. - pause – I said words of
death. Loki's death- oh, no, my poor brother.
Iron man: - uncertain what to say -
Why did he want the tesseract anyway. The invasion, it was a
fake-out. They failed on purpose. I'm not a genius but I could
figure it out.
Captain America: They did? I thought
it was hell fighting them. I guess you're the one who reads the text
of battle logistics.
Iron Man: I've read “The Collapse of
the Third Republic”, by William Shirer, over and over again.
Black Widow: Poor old Blum.
Iron Man: Did you know him too?
Black Widow: I was Mata Hari once. I
was an exotic dancer in France. I had a friend I worked and played
with who- she called herself Rachel. His Rachel.
Thor: Rachel. A historic name.
Captain America: I'm going in. My
destiny awaits.
Iron Man: It does?
Captain America: I'm having a
premonition of battle logistics of my own.
Captain America rushes into the column.
He uses the shield to destroy the entrance iron door, like a Jedi.
Iron Man: Great. Now we're all
committed.
All the Avengers enter the compound.
Captain America looks through the column with restrained, enhancing
franticness. He feels an accelerative doom around himself, and he
feels as if he's racing with it. He rushes from room to room,
ignoring his teammates.
Captain America: Where is it.
Iron Man: Is he ferreting out Russian
rebels. To see if they're recruiting.
Thor: His mind waxes desperate with
imagination.
Iron Man: Something is rotten in the
state of the Avengers.
Black Widow is crawling toward a
corner, as if seeking shelter from it.
Black Widow: - softly – I wish
Hawkeye was here.
Thor: I miss Bruce.
Black Widow: - with halting tears –
He was never going to stay. He never forgave himself for trying to..
for trying to...
Iron Man: For trying to kill Loki when
he was the Hulk. I know what it's like to be responsible for weapons
of mass destruction. But to be a weapon of mass destruction. I just
don't- I just don't-
Thor: The Hulk.. was not.. himself..
Something was.. way off.. Not himself.. In a way in which I am not
myself. Bruce always said he was a coward, like I myself.
Iron Man: The Hulk is and isn't Bruce
Banner.
Thor: But something- something.. a.. a
phase-shift.. Bruce Banner himself seemed like two people.. and not
even one.. There was a missing person somewhere... a missing pi
number.. an irrational noun.. a man.. an irrational man.. of erratic
ways... haunted by the planetary destruction of the spectre of
communism..
Iron Man: That's the Hulk?
Thor: I believe.. I believe.. in this
compound.. we are looking for another Hulk.. a friend.. a friend in
great.. dire need..
Black Widow: It's me you mean. The
person you're looking for.
Thor: You?
Black Widow: Please don't say that.
Thor: What.
Black Widow: You.
Thor: I'm sorry.
Black Widow: - crying – i'ts okay,
it's okay..
Captain America enters a room. He
starts typing at a keyboard, which brings up video footage. He knows
exactly what he's looking for. Black and white video footage, WWII
footage, difficult to discern footage starts showing on the screen.
A battle, a lone, grey figure in the middle. Captain America focuses
the screen on the figure. The figure is dressed in a Captain America
costume, but it is not the Steve Rogers we know, a different man.
Captain America: He's me. I know him.
The figure on the screen has a haunted,
look. A lean and hungry look. He thinks too much. He is dangerous.
Captain America: Who is he? Who is
he?
A reddish hologram in the corner
suddenly illuminates itself. The other Avengers start entering the
room. The hologram becomes more defined. It is a Captain America
hologram, only in a different costume. The USAgent costume.
Iron Man: Are you okay, Cap?
Captain America: I'm not Cap. Who's
Cap. Who's that?
Captain America walks up to the USAgent
hologram. A shot holds him in a state of apparent, black, complete
isolation from the rest of the team. His mind is alone. Alone with
the hologram figure. His hand reaches out to it.
Captain America: Hello, stranger.
Long time no see.
The eyes of the USAgent flare up.
Sparks start flying out of the hologram's costume. Then a machine
gun materializes in the costume's hand.
Iron Man: Uh, that's a gun.
Black Widow: My kind of guy.
USAgent suddenly starts strafing the
room with machine gun fire. The Avengers duck for cover:
Iron Man: Uh, that's a gun.
Thor: Let's get out of here. -
concerned – Where's Black Widow.
Iron Man: She's history. I mean,
where is she. Boy, she got out fast.
Thor: Wait for us.
Ext. Of the compound. Black Widow is
already running out on the gravelly ground.
Black Widow: Ooh, ooh, that's harsh
gravel. I'll bring shoes next time.
Suddenly, a multitude of USAgent
holograms show up around the compound, an army.
Black Widow: Uh, hi guys. Feel like
rescuing me.
Hologram: No. - The hologram throws
a grenade at her.
Black Widow: Ahh, no! You're not
supposed to do that. Whose side are you on anyway.
Hologram: Ultron's.
Black Widow: I doubt he'd approve.
The grenade blows up in front of Black
Widow. She's entirely encapsulated by the explosion. The smoke
dissipates. She emerges unscathed.
Loki's voice: It was a Loki illusion.
Hologram: This is not part of the
program.
Black Widow: Oboy, one second. - She
picks up a grenade, runs to the compound, throws it against the wall
above the entrance. The wall crumbles down and the rubbles covers
the open entranceway completely. - Sorry, pals. I know there was an
army of USAgents collecting themselves on the inside. I can only
take on so many of them. I guess we're going to have to start
recruiting again. Oh, well, I make friends easily. - Black Widow
engages in elaborate gymastics to evade the USAgent holograms and
their grenades and machine gun fire. She makes it finally out of the
compound surround area into a van and makes her escape as an
avalanche starts consuming the whole compound area.
Iron Man: Where's your hammer.
Thor: I think Black Widow took it.
Iron Man: Well, I hope it helps her
escape. I wish I'd built laser ammunition into this Mark model. I'm
not sure how we're going to get out.
Captain America: The entranceway.
Oboy, did Black Widow do this. I expected as much. Typical.
Thor: She has her reasons.
Iron Man: We knew what we were in for
when we recruited an assassin for the Avengers. - pause – What's
happening to the floor.
Captain America: It seems to be
escaping.
Iron Man: Wise of it. I wish we had
the same intellig- I can't do this. Why does Black Widow pull this
shit.
Thor: Hawkeye has one of those
explosion-device arrows, doesn't he. It would be useful against the
blockading rubble.
Captain America: He had his reasons
for robbing a bank. But I don't know why he was suspended from the
team, our most valuable member. Next to Black Widow.
Iron Man: Why do we talk so much
anyway while we face imminent death.
Captain America: To pass the time.
Thor laughs.
Iron Man: I guess this is it, guys.
We're going to die.
Captain America: Looks like it. Wait,
what the hell are we talking about. Let's get out of here.
An army of USAgent holograms starts
pouring into the room. All with machine guns and grenades.
Thor: Black Widow was wise to leave.
Iron Man: Wait. You can call forth
lightning- some variation of it- with my Iron Man technology, can't
you. As a substitute for the hammer.
Thor: I'll try. ODIIIIINNN!
Iron Man: Oboy, I suddenly feel so
Vulcan. - he passes out. Sheet lightning fills the room, explosions
go off, severely wounding the remaining team. A thunder-clap
happens. The Rubble blows away. The entranceway is open again. But
the Avengers are lying dormant. Suddenly Loki materializes.
Loki: Apologies for my lack of
punctuality.
Loki uses telikenesis to transport a
van to the entranceway. He utters a silent but deafening sound.
Loki: FREEYYYAAAA!
The Avengers suddenly regain
consciousness. Loki is gone.
Iron Man: What happened.
Thor: Serendipity.
They exit the compound, dragging
themselves along, barely alive.
Captain America: We're'd the van come
from. I'm driving. I have a healing factor.
They get in the van. They drive off
and the ground is still crumbling around them.
Iron Man: Another day in the life of
the Avengers. Ahh, my back. My back.
Bruce Banner / Baltar: Where am I? In
Mordor. It is never going to end. The spectre is unending.
Infinite. Infinite terrors. Infinite horrors. A planet of horror.
A planet brought to horror. By yours truly.
Edward James Olmos: The political
Mordor powers which are calling for your death are coming from some
.. I don't know.. the darkest blackest Stygian regions of outer
space.
Bruce Baltar: It is a region I know
well.
Edward James Olmos: You were our
planet's most esteemed scientist. How has it come to this?
Bruce Baltar: Because I was your
planet's most esteemed scientist. - pause – Einstein. Bohr.
Heisenborg. Oppenheimer. Responsible for great horrors. At least
in their own imaginations.
Edward James Olmos: Who are they?
I've heard you mention them frequently. But I've never....
Bruce Baltar Banner: they are from
neverwhere... from nowhereland... from T.S. Eliot's wasteland...
imaginations of straw...
Edward James Olmos: Is it just.. going
to be like this.. just... over..
Bruce Baltar: .. maybe.. someday..
Edward James Olmos: ... someday... I
have authority. I am a man of authority. I can.. arrange something.
Wait for.. some people.. I know.. I know.. you have a force in
you.. which you've been repressing.. I think.. these people.. they
have.. monstrous healing powers... they can .. finally elicit this
force..
Bruce Baltar Banner: ... no ...
never...
Edward James Olmos: Never say never.
Black Widow enters the Avengers
headquarters main room.
Black Widow: Hi, anyone home? Oh,
sorry, I forgot. - pause - oookay, time to start recruiting. No
time like the present.
Jarvis: Someone's at the door.
Black Widow: Already? I haven't even-
I guess I'm telepathic.
Jarvis: I'll let her in.
Black Widow: You do that.
The Wasp wanders, somewhat frazzled and
delirious, in at the behest of Jarvis.
Black Widow: Hello, waif from
Pygmilian. Howdeedo.
Wasp: I'm.. I'm looking for my
husband.
Black Widow: - pause - Are you sure
you're at the right place.
Wasp: For looking for a husband.
Black Widow: I'm sure you're not at
the right place. Yesterday would have been better.
Wasp: It would've... oh no... oh no..
Black Widow: There.. there... easy
there..
Wasp: .. it's just like my husband..
when he went to prison..
Black Widow: - with sudden,
uncharacteristic compassion - .. prison?... I'm sorry.. What's his
name.. maybe I can help..
Wasp: Hank. Hank Pym.
Black Widow: - contouring the name in
a charmingly odious manner – Pym?
Wasp: Yes.. we were ... he said..
prison was his natural home.. ever since his wife .. had been
displaced.. he said he never believed she had died..
Black Widow: I don't think I believe
so either. I would know.
Wasp: You would?
Black Widow: Yes. Okay, on to
business before pleasure. Your name?
Wasp: What? Oh, Wasp.
Black Widow: You're an official member
of the Avengers. We'll both rotate as leader. It's okay, there are
only two of us so far.
Wasp: Is two of us enough to find
Hank.
Black Widow: First things first. Wasp
is your secret identity, right? What's your superhero name.
Wasp: Oh, Van dyne. Janet, I mean.
Black Widow: Vanderful. Ve vill find
your husband.
Wasp: I'm so glad. - sniffs silently –
I'm so glad.
Jarvis: Hedda?
Black Widow: Yes, Jarvis?
Jarvis: Nick Fury wants an update.
Black Widow: There's not much to tell
at this point.
Jarvis: He said you met Ultron.
Black Widow: Ultron?
Jarvis: He said American senators and
cabinet members are panicking. The Cold War arms race has reached a
quantum hell of status and the media hasn't even reported on it. No
one knows the Cold War is back at full tilt.
Black Widow: And what does this have
to do with me?
Jarvis: What? I don't understand.
Your mission was to find out about the Ultron project.
Black Widow: And of course I'm the
last to know these things.
Wasp: .. am I.. am I supposed to know
this..
Jarvis: How is she doing? I'm sorry,
I'll adress you personally. I was just concerned about you. You
looked anxious.
Black Widow: She should be. She's our
new leader.
Wasp: I am? I mean, wow. Okay.
Okay. I can do this. What's the name of the team again.
Black Widow: .. ah... ah.. I'm drawing
a blank.. I wonder why...
Jarvis: The Avengers.
Black Widow: Ah, Jarvis, we'd be lost
without you.
Wasp: The Avengers? Can we change the
name.
Black Widow: We can't sorry, sorry.
It's too late. We've got shit to avenge.
Wasp: I'm not sure... I might be
underqualified...
Black Widow: Don't do that. Don't do
that. Look at me. We're all in this together now. All two of us.
Jarvis: What do I tell Nick Fury.
Black Widow: Tell him the Avengers are
back and here to stay.
Jarvis: - pause – I'll try to make
something up.
Wasp: You do that.
Black Widow: Okay, so, are you
qualified for this position.
Wasp: I think I'm overqualified.
Okay, maps, maps, maps. Let's get vidual. How about we advertise
our international status with colourphoto overlays of maps for
Avengers ads.
Black Widow: Genius, absolute genius.
Wasp: I know. Each map is a
character.. wait.. character.. chinese characters.. china is in..
it's never been out... let's use chinese characters as the
connections between map coordinates on our multicultural,
multinational posters.
Black Widow: Post no bills?
Wasp: We'll post lots of bills.
Counterfiet express. Money, money, money..
The song, “Let's make lots of money”
starts quietly, with increasing volume, playing in the background.
Black Widow: I'm glad I recruited you.
We never did any of this before.
Wasp: I'm glad too. If print enough
money maybe we'll have enough money to follow a paper trail so we can
find Hank.. my poor Hank.. - starts crying -
Black Widow: We'll find him. That's a
promise.
Wasp: Can we hologram money?
Black Widow: Oboy. Don't remind me of
holograms.
Wasp: Sorry. Old habits die hard.
We'll stay 2-d for now. 2-d. Checkers. How about black and white
print checkers ads.
Black Widow: The world is not all
black and white. Sometimes there's a lot of grey.
Wasp: .. I know.. I know.. there's a
stormcloud on the horizon.. I can see it... Jarvis mentioned the
underpromoted Cold War... We can make this happen... Sound effects..
lots of sound effects.. boomboxes across city's..
Nick Fury: I've heard enough. C'mon,
Wasp, we need you urgently. I'm bringing you to the White House.
Black Widow: - enthusiastically –
Congratulations, Wasp. I'm going to take a well-earned vacation.
You're leader as long as you want the job.
Nick Fury: Absolutely. Where are the
others? Haven't they made it back yet.
Black Widow: They have their reasons.
Nick Fury: - looks at Black Widow with
vague suspicion, something he can't place – Yeah. Anyway, they
should meet me at the White House.
Black Widow: I'll tell them where to
go.
- end scene -
many months later, inside a pub. Tony
Stark is sitting with a beer, watching the TV.
Tony Stark: We're never going to get
out of Russia. At least the alcohols good. It's Russia, so I
shouldn't get drunk on it. Something about the climate.
On the TV – a woman
Female news-anchor: And now, after a
three year hiatus, the Avengers are back.
Tony Stark: Three years? I thought
it'd been only three months... We're back?. Where are the cameras.
Female news-anchor: Or as they call
themselves – rolling the words- the WEST coast avengers.
Captain America – arriving: But- but
we're still in the east.
Female news -anchor: Their leader the
Wasp is taking the podium live as we speak.
Tony Stark: Ahh, the plot thickens.
Wait, the Wasp? She was going to be our first member way back.
What's she doing here.
On the Tv, the Wasp appears, surrounded
by microphones.
Wasp: Hear ye, hear ye. The Avengers,
after a few bumps on the gravelly road, are here to stay.
Black Widow: - painful memories- ooh,
ooh, ouch.
Tony Stark ooh, ooh, ouch.
Wasp: The Avengers are all media. So
I introduce our first media savvy Avenger droid, the VISION.
The Vision appears, green and red in
media spotlight.
The Vision: Ah, TV. My double, my
shemblable. I meet my brother. My brother Anakin.
Tony Stark: - gravely – I think Thor
should be here.
Captain America: I'll – one second.
Anakin, I know him.
Wasp: The SCARLET WITCH.
The Scarlet Witch: .. am I .. am I
supposed to be here.. I think I'm somewhere else.. my hands... my
hands are empty with myself..
Wasp: Do that cute thing you do with
your hands.
The Scarlet Witch: .. oh.. like
crossing them... - she crosses her hands.. a red light in blocks
irradiates from her intersected hands and takes over the TV screen
and fills the room in the pub .. suddenly she and the Wasp have
changed places, changed costumes, changed postures, changed status,
changed realities..
The Scarlet Wasp: .. yippeee... media
savvy hands.. my arms are lego pieces... lego princess leia.. i am
all stars.. i am all wars... media mind mars princess....media mind
wars...
The Witch: ... I.. I'm not sure.. what
to say.. I feel all mature all of a sudden.. like a logarithm or an
exponent of maturity... i'm not sure which ...
Tony Stark: We were never this
complicated.
Captain America: They're women.
Tony Stark: Hey, I'm complicated, I'm
complicated. I have a heart now..
Captain America: I'm not complicated.
I'm waiting for the Witch to help me with my complications...
Thor – arriving - : I think we
underestimated the Black Widow.
The Witch: .. maybe .. scarlet.. you
should.. just.. i'm .. miin.utes.. my mind.. it's getting hazy..
intersect .. your fingers...
The Scarlet Wasp intersects her
fingers...
The Scarlet Wasp: I am such a liar.
Tony Stark: No. That's me, Tony
Stark. I'm complicated, remember.
The Scarlet Wasp: .. no I'm only
forgetting.. if I lie a reality into being.. oh .. no .. i've started
something silent by crossing my fingers.. a butterfly effect..
Tony Stark: WHAT!
The Scarlet Wasp: OH NO! It's too
late I'm doomed.. wittle me is doomed.. - she coyly crosses her arms
in an “I confesshh” gesture.
Another radiation zone happens. The
Scarlet witch and the Wasp are back to being the Scarlet Witch and
the Wasp.
The Wasp: .. hee ... hee .. see
nothing goes as planned in press conferances... okay.. who'se next...
Crystal..
Crystal: .. hi.. I .. I do'nt know what
my powers are yet...
Black Widow:... the Wasp will figure it
out.. she's that complicated... she'll make sure your powers are
equivalent to her vast intellect...
Tony Stark: Wait, are there any men on
this team?
Captain America: What about the
Vision.
Tony Stark: He's a droid. He's their
C-3PO.
Captain America: I like the Wasp. I
like all the women. They seem to work well together.
Tony Stark: Yes, it looks like the men
on the Avengers have been made obselete.
Wasp: I'm sorry, Black Widow, my vast
intellect? Are you being sarcastic?
Black Widow – alarmed, then annoyed
-: Yes.
Tony Stark: Oboy, talked too soon.
Here we go.
Wasp: I'm pissed off there aren't more
men on the team.
Black Widow: That's my fault
Wasp: Why does it always come down to
who ate what apple.
Crystal: I thought Paris ate the
apple.
Black Widow: PARIS ATE THE APPLE. But
the three goddesses, beauty, power and wisdom were supposed to
unleash sheer hell on the earth, sheer anarchy, courtesy of discord,
the goddess Eris. HE ATE THE APPLE. Oh, God, oh, God, what are we
gonna do now.
Thor: I think Ragnorack is coming
early.
Russian politician: We are at a dawn of
day. We have been early in the rising. Russia has risen from the
grave. Darth Trupenny is swearing us to active mobility. Russia is
the ghost in Hamlet. We are arising from a nightmare past, the
lighetest f word o fwhich harrows up the Russian soul... We have
harnessed the harowed Russian soul in nucleur fission nucleur
fusion.. sorry, i forget whihc.. wih . .. which..

The eternal Russian is Cain.. and we have immortalized Cain in
Russian technology.. I bring you.. Cain... I bring you.. Ultron...
Ultron appears, hitherto invisible..
covered by a cloaking device.. in its mechanisms..
Russain politician: .. He is the
Russian soul as a nucleur weapon.. He is teh the next dimension o

Rissian politician:... you okay, old

Ultron: ... I'm okay...
Riussian politician: .. I like your
Russsian accent, Ultron...
Ultron:... I've been... practicing...
Woman reporter: - almost in tears – I
like him,.. I really likkee him...
Ultron:.... it's ... mutual...
Scene - back at the pub.
The TV is still on.
Wasp: I'm pissed off there aren't more
men on the team.
Black Widow: That's my fault
Wasp: Damn right it is.
What the fuck is wrong with you?
Black Widow: I don't know.
I just don't know.
Vision: Lover's quarrel?
Wasp: I can't believe what she
told me about what happened.
Black Widow: - nervously - You
promised you wouldn't tell.
Wasp: I can't believe I'm keeping
that promise.
Reporter: Something we should
know?
Black Widow: Press conference
over.! Press conference over!
Crystal: I always wondered Why
does it always come down to who ate what apple.
Wasp: I thought Paris ate the apple.
Black Widow: PARIS ATE THE APPLE. But
the three goddesses, beauty, power and wisdom were supposed to
unleash sheer hell on the earth, sheer anarchy, courtesy of discord,
the goddess Eris. HE ATE THE APPLE. Oh, God, oh, God, what are we
gonna do now.
Thor: I think Ragnorack is coming
early.
Tony Stark: I don't think these women
are going to survive the boardroom. I hope Crystal and the Scarlet
Witch are okay. The two others I think- they are Elizabeth Jarosz
and Jennifer Massey. They'll make it far.

early while the going was good.
Jarvis: Mr. Stark.. Tony... a woman Van
Dyne is here..
Tony Stark: Von dyne?...

Jarvis: Should I let her in.
Tony Stark: By all means.
Janet Van Dyne enters.

Tony Star:
Loki on a spaceship.
Cylon #1: Our invasion of earth went
as planned.
Loki: I'm glad none of you got hurt.
Cylon 1: Impossible.
Loki: Impossible for a god too. But
I've got to talk to Bruce immediately. He can't survive this... this
nightmare...
Cylon 1: Impossible.
Loki: I .. don't understand... We've
come so far... various Midgard serpents invaded earth... we've
reached a union of the industrial, the organic and the mythic.. the
orgainic.. which is just.. since the garden tree in the apple o f
Eden.. whic h is unprecedented...
Cylon 1: Alchemy notwithstanding.. we
just can't.. Baltar's will is too strong...
Loki: Maybe if you'd given him one o f
your starships..
Cylon 1: He wouldn't accept... He
wasn't like his predecessor...
Loki: He's gone through .. a s myany
parallel realitis of himsefl.. as i have of myself.. we are simply
the saem man...
Cylon 2: Maybe.. there can be a
compromise p...
Loki: .. i am a man always willing to
compromise...
Cylon 2: .. he is prone to ..
hallucinatations..
Loki: .. so am I .. I hallucinated the
Hulk...
Cylon 2: .. he feels the guilt of
it...
Loki: .. i known.. .i know...
Loki: The winsome warsome ways which
Fulvia taught me... dear Fulvia... full of fulvianesss. With her
stufumullaceoussousnesss hair... I think I pronounced it right.. the
wasome hair of fulvia... hair at war.. with itself.. order out of
chaos.. fractal hair.. the dear Scarlet witchcs's hair... vecotr
curls.. the nervous system of the hair.. crysa'ta'ls hair..
meusdeus.. medusa's hair.. chrysalids of hair.. a crystal palace.. a
a tiara..
INT. A dark metal room
Ultron: I'm.. circuitry in motion..
circuitry in solitude.. in black solitutude... in black heart
solitude.. circuitry in motion and solitude.. circuitry all sound and
fury signifying.. nothing... scrambled nets ... I'm all a' brambles..
mad as the brambles am I .. a mad god am I .. not a safe place for a
nucluer bomb..
The Beyonder: Maybe I can help.
Ultron: Who are you?
The Beyonder: - smiles – Is that..
polite?
Ultron: Etiquette is not my formality.
I'm all about the formality of war. Not the formality of manners.
The Beyonder: I'd expect nothing less
from a robot.
Ultron: Am I a robot as a man is a
man? Many questions, too many questions.
The Beyonder: I .. understand ...
questions.. I am .. a question.. a question tesseract fabric in space
and time... i am a riddling polyhedron..
Ultron: Sounds familiar.
The Beyonder: I.. i cam.. came.. as a
.. witches vision.. into your reality... an .. angular-speaking
reality seeker who sought me..
Ultron: There are many who seek me..
many who seek my motives like a motiveless malignity.. my motives are
Robin Hoods arrows...The Russians want me to be a Robin Hood.. a
russian Robin Hood.. who steals nucleur secrets from the rich and
disseminates radiation to the poor...
The Beyonder: It's not easy.. being
red...
Ultron: .. no.. better dead than red I
hear... but better dead than autumn.. than a nucleur autumn.. than an
autumn for genocide..
The Beyonder:.. genocide.. that is what
they want you for isn't it.. that is their agenda..
Ultron: It's what they built me for..
The Beyonder: .. it doesn't.. it
doesn't have to be that.. we can make a difference.. the two of us..
we're all in this together now..
Ultron: You have a power... I sense
it.. which is as light as your little finger.. a gracefull tipping
power.. a Buster Keatonish power.. your power is a sleight of hand...
mine is .. an enigma of wastelands.. of holocaust wastelands...
The Beyonder: .. no .. it's over...
The Ultron project is finished.. Come with me.
Tony Stark: So, Wasp, let's see. You
bring the dinar, a foreign currency, all I'll bring the dinner, the
foreign charm..
Wasp: Sounds gooddeee to me.
Tony Stark: My first date in a while.
Hope it'll help you forget about Hank for a while.
Wasp: - crying – I'll never forget
about Hank.
Tony Stark: Look at me. Look at me.
Don't do that. We've both got to be strong for Hank.
Wasp: I will.. I will.. So.. what's
next on the menu for the Avengers.. I know- how about Avengers
promotion ads based on restaurent menus.
Tony Stark: Genius.. sheer genius.. no
wonder the Black Widow hired you. She knows her business.
Wasp: She does.. she really does...
I'm glad we're all finally on the same page.. I missed the .. the
east coast avengers?...
Tony Stark: Uh, yep, yep, that's us...
uh, the east coast – starts laughing -
Wasp: So we're finally bringing the
east and the west together. I know, how about an ad based on the
Berlin wall, or the wall in Israel, I think there's at least one..
it's all today.. it's all relevant..
Tony Stark: .. wow.. you're always on..
aren't you.. you're always.. always thinking..
Wasp: - sniff – it'll all help me
find my poor Hank.. my poor Hank..
Tony Stark: Last you mentioned he
might be in prison. Maybe Chicken George can get him out. He's good
at that. That's his specialty.
Wasp: It is? I'm glad to hear that.
Tony Stark: Me too. Me too. I think
we can do this. Another member can't hurt.
Wasp: No it can't.. it really can't...
Hank Pym: It's over, before it's even
begun. There is no war so unfriendly it's not crawling with webs..
the war of webbing.. of sonar webbing.. of deep black.. there is a
surveillance web across the planet which .. boggles the mind.. among
other things..
Doctor Doom: This is how we do this.
You are in here with me, in my prison-state. We are going to be ...
ah.. I am here. Here. Nowhere else. In a town of .. nothing. I'm
nothing. I'm Ethan Hawke.
Hank Pym: Ethan Hawke?
Doctor Doom: I wish I had his wit
though... his intellect.. 140 IQ... ten units away from a philosophy
degree.. but instead I became leader of Latveria. Just my luck.
Hank Pym: Latveria really is a
worthless country.
Doctor Doom: You think? Ya think?
Hank Pym: I hope you're not upset.
Doctor Doom: Why would you think that?
It's not its fault its currency has declined into the abyss.
Hank Pym: That's what I was saying-
it's not Latveria's fault if it is a worthless country.
Doctor Doom: You're extremely
considerate of my feelings, and as a dictator I appreciate that.
Hank Pym: I'm going to take a drive.
Doctor Doom: First have a beer. On
me.
Hank Pym: 'preciate it. First-class
all the way with Latverian etiquette. Thank God you loosened the
drunk driving laws in Latveria. An island of sanity Latveria is.
Doctor Doom: It's why I'm dictator.
Albiet a benevolent one.
Tony Stark: She wanted it. I could
see it in her eyes. C'mon. She wanted it. So I let her steal the
magazine.
Wasp: You were working at a newsstand
and you were so nice to the customers.
Tony Stark: You are all my customers.
Courtesy of Stark enterprises. C'mere.
Wasp: I love you! You will be my
second husband. Or my a third. Who said there were no husbands on
the team.
Bruce Banner: Work. It's all about
the work.
Wonder Man: I'm glad you finally found
me. I was lost as Hell. In Hell. The Hulk is a curse. A year. A
whole year without a relapse. And then Avengers happenned, courtesy
of the Black Widow, doing the thing, well, which she does. It's why
I tried to kill her. The Hulk was furious. He like his vacation.
Bruce Banner: So were the mice also
furious when they found out what happenned to my planet. They deal
in planets. Giant computer-planets.
Loki: Bruce can't survive the Soviet
nightmare. The Soviets were part of his genisis as the Hulk. Then
the Americans took over. Just like WWII. The Hulk is WWIII. World
War Hulk is coming.
EXT. In an empty, desert-like terrain..
Black Widow: I'm just.. waiting..
wasting... waiting.. just waiting waitin' – cries softly – ...
like a battle-zone ground..
Ultron: Are you okay?
Black Widow: ... I'm... I'm in
Mordor.. or just starting my journey.. to Mordor..
Ultron: Mordor is my heart. Maybe I
can help.
Black Widow: Your heart? My heart?
Your heart. My heart? My heart.
Ultron: There is a darkness
shame-wounded by our sins..
Black Widow: .. shame-wounded by our
sins our souls cling to us the more the more...
Ultron: You live under the cast of
darkness.. I dearly want to help you.. here's an umbrella..
Black Widow: I am its.. the darkness's
.. eternal stranger.. an eternal stranger.. of the darkness.. I'm
Raskolnikov. Darkness is in our souls is it not? I never, can ...
SPEAK to anyone. When I speak, I'm on verbal autopoiesis, like
Hamlet, just talking and talking, like my talking voice has become a
machine, I'm a machine, a self-propelling machine, with surreal,
malign motives of its own, a voice alien to myself. My speech is an
alien tongue. My voice.. it styx.. it just.. it warbles.. like a
ghost.. like I'm my voice and I'm a ghost thick with sadness.. a
soupy voice.. a soupy me.. a soupy dread voice me..
Ultron: .. - quietly – I have done
much study in voices. So have you. It can be your salvation. And..
mine.
INT. A mental institution.
Havok and Black Widow both gently
approach a child, Joshua Nagy, who is dressed in jeans and a t-shirt,
who is alone in a corner.
Havok: Are you okay? Chicken George
and Cable are in the next room. Along with Ultron. We're all
fighting to get you out. The Beyonder freed Ultron to do his work..
but.. even the Beyonder's powers don't extend into mental
institutions.. so we had to fight our way in...
Black Widow: Are you okay? Are you
okay? Are you okay?
EXT of mental institutions
News Journalist: - to camera – The
Avengers have invaded a mental institution, or rather, a drug den,
containing children who have been abducted. One child, in
particular, Joshua Nagy, has been abducted time and time again.
Police are said to be running a child-abduction operation.
Policeman: Turn that off. Turn that
off. Give that to me.
Journalist: The footage has already
beens sent to the computers at news headquarters.
Policeman: Okay, that's it. You're
under arrest. You have the right to remain silent. And that's all
the rights you have. Let's go.
Journalist: What, but I haven't done
anything. What about my right to an attourney.
Policeman: What about it. Who told you
you had that right. I've never heard of such a thing. Let's go.
