FIND ROCKET AS HE SLURPS FROM A CONTAINER OF LO MEIN.
ROCKET
Quill said he stole the Power Stonefrom Morag.
He paces on top of the table, past SMART HULK EATING A PINTOF “HUNKA HULKA BURNING FUDGE.”
SMART HULK
That’s a person?
ROCKET
It’s a planet. Quill was a person.
SCOTT LANG
Wait, like a planet...in space?
Rocket pinches Scott’s cheek.
ROCKET
Aw, look. It’s like a puppy, allhappy and everything.
ROCKET (CONT'D)
You want to go to space, puppy?I’ll take you to space.
INT. AVENGERS COMPOUND, SITTING AREA - DAY
Scott, Steve, Natasha, Clint, Rocket, and Smart Hulk sit
quietly, listening to Nebula.
NEBULA
Thanos found the Soul Stone on Vormir.
NATASHA
And that is...?
NEBULA
A dominion of death at the very center of celestial existence.
(beat)
It’s the place where Thanos
murdered my sister.
That hangs heavily. A moment passes. Then...
SCOTT LANG
Not it.
INT. AVENGERS COMPOUND, OFFICE - DAY, EARLY
Tony, Natasha, and Smart Hulk hash it out.
NATASHA
So this ‘Time Stone’ guy...what kind of doctor was he?
SMART HULK
Strange?
TONY
Cross between ear-nose-and-throat and rabbit-from-hat.
SMART HULK
Had a nice place in the village.
TONY
Yeah. Sullivan Street.
SMART HULK
Bleecker.
TONY
Sullivan and Bleecker. They’recross streets.
NATASHA
Wait, he lived in New York? Guys, pick the right year and there were three stones in New York.
SMART HULK
(beat)
Shut the front door...
INT. AVENGERS COMPOUND, LIVING AREA, DAY 3 - DAY
STEVE blocks our view.
STEVE
Okay, we have a plan. Six stones, three teams, one shot.
He steps away, revealing the board...
EVERYONE EYES THE TANGLE OF LINES CONNECTING SIX STONES TO
FOUR LOCATIONS TO TWO YEARS TO TEN HEROES.
IT’S INSANE.
INT. AVENGERS COMPOUND, HANGAR - DAWN
DAWN RISES OUTSIDE HUGE WINDOWS. OUR HEROES MARCH PAST IN THEIR TIME SUITS.
STEVE (O.S.)
Five years ago, we lost. All of us.
INT. AVENGERS COMPOUND, HANGAR - DAY
THE HEROES GATHER ON THE QUANTUM PLATFORM.
STEVE
We lost friends. We lost family.
We lost a part of ourselves.
(beat)
But today we have a chance to take it all back.
Steve takes in the groupings of heroes: RHODEY & NEBULA, NAT & CLINT, THOR & ROCKET, TONY & SCOTT.
STEVE (CONT'D)
You have your teams and you have assignments. Get your stone, and get back here. One round trip each. No mistakes. No do-overs.
He grips HIS SHIELD.
STEVE (CONT'D)
Most of us are going back to places we know. That doesn’t mean we know what to expect. Be careful. Lookout for each other. Improvise, if you have to.
(looking around)
This is the fight of our lives.
And we’re going to win.
(beat)
Whatever it takes.
The platform stays quiet. Rocket WHISPERS to Scott:
ROCKET
He’s pretty good at that...
Scott nods enthusiastically.
TONY
(to Smart Hulk)
All right, you heard the man.
Stroke those keys, Jolly Green.
Smart Hulk taps in commands with HIS PENCIL. LIGHTS
ILLUMINATE EACH PAD.
SMART HULK
Tracking beacons engaged.
Clint checks his pocket: A SHRUNKEN BENATAR sits inside.
ROCKET
You promise to bring that thing back in one piece?
CLINT BARTON
Yeah, sure thing. I’ll do my best.
ROCKET
That’s pretty lame, as far as promises go.
SMART HULK STEPS ONTO THE PLATFORM, COMPLETING THE LINEUP.
THE PLATFORM BEGINS TO VIBRATE. NATASHA LOOKS AROUND.
NATASHA
See you in a minute.
SMART HULK
Actually, it’ll be closer to seven or eight microseconds, give or....
SUDDENLY, THEY STRETCH AND VANISH, SHRINKING AWAY. WHOOSH.
THE QUANTUM CONSOLE STOPS VIBRATING. HULK’S PENCIL SLOWLY ROLLS TOWARD THE EDGE...AND DROPS OFF.
EXT. NEW YORK CITY - DAY (AVENGERS 1)
TITLE: NEW YORK, 2012
THE BATTLE OF NEW YORK RAGES. IN THE MIDDLE OF IT ALL, THE AVENGERS GATHER IN A CIRCLE, FACING IMPOSSIBLE ODDS.
At the same time, just a block away...
EXT. NEW YORK CITY, ALLEY - CONTINUOUS (AVENGERS 1)
FLASH! STEVE, SMART HULK, TONY, and SCOTT arrive at the mouth of an alley, just out of sight.
TONY
Okay, Park Avenue’s that way. Let’s huddle up. Suits off.
They all touch their cuffs, RETRACTING THEIR TIME SUITS.
STEVE
We’ve all got our assignments. Two stones uptown, one stone down.
Stay low, keep an eye on time.
Just then, A1 HULK BOUNDS DOWN THE STREET SMASHING THINGS.
STEVE (CONT'D)
And Bruce? Maybe smash a few things along the way. For
appearances.
SMART HULK
(taking off his shirt)
All right, but I have to say, it
seems gratuitous.
He half-heartedly smashes a few cars.
SMART HULK (CONT'D)
Grrr...grrr...
