Thor quotes
are just
thunderous enough to be pleasantly enjoyable. As expected the plotting
of Thor is
predictable and the script could do more character building, however,
despite these minor flaws this comic-book
adaptation will not disappoint as the scope of the movie is large
enough to please the genre fans and also it has touches of light humor
that will make it a mainstream hit. While Thor is certainly
no Dark
Knight it does offer a very enjoyable Marvel
outing!

[first lines] Jane Foster:
Wait for it. Darcy Lewis:
Can I turn on the radio? Jane Foster: No! Erik Selvig:
Jane, you can't keep doing this. Jane Foster: The
last seventeen occurrences had been predictable to this second! [she checks through her
notebook] Erik Selvig: Jane,
you're an astrophysicist, not some storm chaser! Jane Foster: I'm
telling you, there's a connection between these atmosphere disturbances
and my research. Eric, I...I wouldn't ask you to fly out here if I
wasn't absolutely sure.
Darcy Lewis: Jane,
I think you wanna see this. [Jane looks at the sky
to see an amazing ray of light shining through the dark clouds] Jane Foster: What
is that? [going onto the roof of
their vehicle to get a clearer look] Jane Foster: God! Erik Selvig: I
thought you said it was a subtle aurora! [to Darcy] Jane Foster: Go! [Darcy suddenly starts
the car and speeds towards the light]
[to the body that's just
dropped to the ground from the sky] Jane Foster: Do
me a favor and don't be dead! Please! [looking up at the sky] Jane Foster: Where
did he come from?
Odin:[voice over] Once
mankind accepted a simple truth; that they were not alone in this
universe. Some worlds man believed home to their Gods. Others they new
to fear. From around the cold and darkness came the Frost Giants.
Threatening to plunge the mortal world into a new ice age. But humanity
would not face this threat alone.
Odin:[voice over] Our
armies drove the Frost Giants back into the heart of their own world.
The cost was great. In the end, their king fell. And the source of
their power was taken from them. With the last great war ended, we
withdrew from the other worlds and returned home at the realm eternal,
Asgard.
Odin:[voice over] And
here we remain as the beacon of hope. Shining out across the stars. And
though we have fallen into mans myths and legends, it was Asgard and
it's warriors that brought peace to the universe.
Odin: But
the day will come when one of you will have to defend that peace. Young Loki:
Do the Frost Giants still live? Young Thor:
When I'm king, I'll hunt the monsters down and slay them all! Just as
you did, father. Odin: A
wise king, never seeks out war. But...he must always be ready for it. [he walks away and the
boys run to catch up with him] Young Thor: I'm
ready, father. Young Loki: So
am I! Odin: Only
one of you can ascend to the throne. But both of you were born to be
kings!
[at Thor's coronation] Odin: Thor
Odinson, my heir, my first born. So long entrusted with the mighty
hammer, Mjöllnir, forged in the heart of a dying star. It's power has
no equal! It's a weapon to destroy or as a tool to build. It is a fit
companion for a king. I have defended Asgard, and the lives of the
innocent across my realms in the time of the great beginning.
[during Thor's
coronation] Odin: Do
you swear to guard the nine realms? Thor: I
swear. Odin: And
do you swear to preserve the peace? Thor: I
swear. Odin: Do
you swear to cast aside your selfish ambition and to pledge yourself
only to the good of the realms? Thor: I
swear! Odin: And
on this day, I Odin, All-Father, will proclaim you...
[after funding out the
Frost Giants have broke into their weapons vault] Thor: The
Jotuns must pay for what they've done! Odin: They
have paid. With their lives. To destroy it at its work, casket is safe
and all is well. Thor: All
is well? They broke into the weapons vault! If the Frost Giants have
stolen even one of these relics... Odin: They
didn't! Thor: Well
I want to know why? Odin: I
have a truce with Laufey, King of the Jotun. Thor: He
just broke your truce! They know you are vulnerable.
Odin: What
action would you take? Thor: March
into Jotunheim as you once did. Teach them a lesson. Break their
spirits so they'll never dare to cross our borders again. Odin: You're
thinking only as a warrior. Thor: Well,
this was an act of war! Odin: It
was the act of but a few, doomed to fail. Thor: Look
at how far they got! Odin: We
will find the breach in our defenses and it will be sealed. Thor: As
King of Asgard... Odin: But
you're not King! Not yet.
Thor: It's
unwise to be in my company now, brother. This was to be my day of
triumph. Loki: It'll
come. In time.
Loki: If
it's any consolation, I think you're right. About the Frost Giants,
about Laufey, about everything. If they found a way to penetrate
Asgard's defenses once, who's to say they won't try again. Next time
with an army. Thor: Exactly! Loki: There's
nothing you can do without defying father. Thor: Thor
gives a Loki knowing look Loki: No!
No, no, no, no, no! I know that look! Thor: It's
the only way to ensure the safety of our borders! Loki: Thor,
it's madness! Volstagg:
Madness? What sort of madness? Thor: We're
going to Jotunheim. Fandral: What?
This isn't like a journey to earth, where you summon a little lightning
and thunder, the mortals worship you as a God! This is Jotunheim. Thor: My
father fought his way into Jotunheim. Defeated their armies and took
their casket! We would just be looking for answers. Sif: It is
forbidden!
Thor: My
friends, have you forgotten all that we have done together? Fandral,
Hogun, who led you into the most glorious battles? Hogun: You
did. Thor: And
Volstagg, to delicacies so succulent you though you'd died and gone to
Valhalla? Volstagg: You
did. Thor: Yes!
And who proved wrong all who scoffed at the idea that a young maiden
could be one of the fiercest warriors this realm has ever known? Sif: I did! Thor: True,
but I supported you, Sif. [he turns to look at all
of the] Thor: My
friends, we're going to Jotunheim.
Loki: Good
Heimdall? Heimdall:
You're not dressed warmly enough. Do you think that you can deceive me? Loki: You
must be mistaken... Thor: Enough!
Heimdall, may we pass? Heimdall: Never
has an enemy slipped my watch until this day. I wish to know
how that happened? Thor: Then
tell no one where we have gone until we've returned. Understand? [Thor walks passed
Heimdall, the others follow behind and Volstagg turns to Loki] Volstagg: What
happened? Silver tongue turned to lead? [the others laugh]
Heimdall: Be
warned. I will honor my sworn oath to protect this realm as its
gatekeeper. If you return threatens the safety of Asgard by Frost, will
remain closed to you. And you'll be left to die in the cold waste of
Jotunheim. Volstagg: Couldn't
you just leave the bridge open for us? Heimdall: To
leave the bridge open would unleash the full power of the Bifrost and
destroy Jotunheim, and with you upon it. Thor: I
have no plans to die today. Heimdall: None
do. [Heimdall sends them to
Jotunheim]
[as they enter Jotunheim] King Laufey: You
have come a long way to die, Asgardians? Thor: I am
Thor Odinson. King Laufey: We
know who you are. Thor: How
did your people get into Asgard? King Laufey: The
house of Odin is full of traitors. Thor: Do
not dishonor my father's name with your lies! King Laufey: Your
father is a murderer and a thief! And why have you come here? To make
peace? You long for battle. You crave it! You're nothing but a boy
trying to prove himself a man. Thor: Well
this boy has grown tired of your mockery.
Loki: Thor,
stop and think! Look around you. We're out numbered! Thor: Know
your place, brother! King Laufey: You
know not what your actions would unleash. I do. Go, now! While I still
allow it. [he comes walks closer
to Thor and Loki] Loki: We
will accept, you're most gracious offer. [Thor looks at Laufey,
reluctant to leave] Loki: Come
on, brother!
[as Thor reluctantly
turns to leave the Frost Giant] Frost Giant Sentry:[mocking]
Run back
home, little princess. Loki: Damn! [Thor's hammer extends
and he hits the Frost Giant with it and their battle begins]
[just as the Frost
Giants have cornered Thor and his friends Odin appears] Thor:
Father! Let's finish them together! Odin: Silence! [King Laufey suddenly
extends in front of Odin] King Laufey: All-Father.
You look weary. Odin: Laufey,
end this now. King Laufey: Your
boy sought this out. Odin: You're
right. These are the actions of a boy. Treat them as such. You and I
can end this, here and no. Before there's further bloodshed. King Laufey: We
are beyond diplomacy now, All-Father. He'll get what he came for. War
and death. Odin: So be
it. [Laufey's icy armor
extends and he hits Odin off his horse]
Thor: Why
did you bring us back? Odin: Do
you realize what you've done? What you've started? Thor: I was
protecting my home! Odin: You
cannot even protect your friends! How can you hope to protect a kingdom?
Thor: There
won't be a kingdom to protect if we are afraid to act! The Jotuns must
learn to fear me! Just as they once feared you. Odin: That's
pride and vanity talking, not leadership. You've forgotten everything I
taught you! About a warriors patience. Thor: While
you wait and be patient, the nine realms laugh at us! The old ways are
done! You'd stand giving speeches while Asgard falls!
Odin: [shouting] You are
a vain, greedy, cruel boy! Thor: [shouting] And you
are an old man and a fool! Odin: Yes,
I was a fool. To think you were ready. Loki:
Father... [shouts at Loki] Odin: Nay!
Odin: Thor
Odinson, you have betrayed the express command of your King.
Through
your arrogance and stupidity, you have opened these peaceful realms and
innocent lives to the horror and desolation of war! [he steps forward to
stand in front of Thor] Odin: You
are unworthy of these realms! You are unworthy of your title! [he strips him of his
medals and cape] Odin: You're
unworthy...of the loved ones you have betrayed.
Odin: I now
take from you, you're power! [he takes Thor's hammer] Odin: In
the name of my father! [with Thor's hammer he
destroys the shield on one of Thor's arm] Odin: And
his father before! [he destroys the other
shield on Thor's arm] Odin: I,
Odin, All-Father, curse you out! [with Thor's hammer he
banishes Thor out of Asgard]
[after he's just
banished Thor] Odin:
Whosoever holds of this hammer, if you be worthy, you posses the power
of
Thor. [he throws Thor's hammer
out of Asgard]
[after Thor has crash
landed onto their truck and is lying wounded on the ground] Darcy Lewis: Woh!
Does he need CPR? Cause I totally know CPR. [Thor looks and Jane] Jane Foster: Where
did he come from?
Jane Foster: You
all right? [Thor gets up from the
ground] Thor:
Hammer? Hammer?! Darcy Lewis: Yeah,
we can tell you're hammered! That's pretty obvious.
Erik Selvig: Jane,
we'll have to take him to the hospital. Thor: Father! Jane Foster: He
is fine! Look at him. Thor: Heimdall?
I know you can hear me! Open the Bifrost! [to Erik, as they watch
Thor] Jane Foster: Hospital!
You go. I'll stay
Thor: You?
What realm is this? Álfheimr? Niflheimr? Darcy Lewis: New
Mexico! [Darcy hold her taser
gun at him] Thor: You
dare threaten me, Thor! You're so puny... [Darcy shoots him with
her taser gun. He shakes and falls, Erik and Jane look at Darcy in
shock] Darcy Lewis: What?
He was freaking me out!
[at County Hospital] Admission Nurse:
Name? Jane Foster: He
said, it was, Thor. [she spells out his name
as she types on her computer] Admission Nurse: T-H-O-R.
And your relationship to him? Jane Foster: I've
never met him before. Darcy Lewis: Until
she hit him with her car. Jane Foster: I
grazed him. But she tasered him. Darcy Lewis: Yes,
I did.
Erik Selvig: You
don't think this was just a magnetic storm, do you? Jane Foster: Look?
The lensing round these edges, it's characteristics of an
Einstein-Rosen Bridge. Darcy Lewis: A
what? [to Darcy] Erik Selvig: I
thought you were a science major. Darcy Lewis: Political
science. Jane Foster: She
was the only applicant.
[to Darcy] Erik Selvig: An
Einstein-Rosen Bridge, is a theoretical connection between two
different points in space... Jane Foster: A
wormhole. Darcy Lewis: Hmmm. Jane Foster: Erik,
look? What do you see? [hands him a photo] Erik Selvig: Stars. Jane Foster: Yeah.
But not our stars! See, this is
the star alignment for our quadrant at this time of year. And unless
some minor decided to take a day off, these are someone elses
constellations.
Jane Foster: I
just
lost my most important piece of evidence. Typical! Darcy Lewis: Now
what? Jane Foster: We
find him. [referring to what Thor
had done to the hospital as he'd escaped] Erik Selvig: Did
you see what he did in there? I'm not sure finding him is the best idea. Jane Foster: Well,
our data can't tell us what it was like to be inside that event and he
can. So, we're gonna find him. Darcy Lewis: Okay. Erik Selvig: You're
gonna look all over New Mexico then? [she starts her car] Jane Foster: Exactly! [just as she's reversing
her car, Thor appears behind her car and she hits him, she rushes out
to see him] Jane Foster: I'm
so sorry! I swear I'm not doing this on purpose!
