Nick Fury: What are you doing, Mr. Stark?
Tony Stark: Uh...kind of been wondering the same thing about you.
Nick Fury: You're supposed to be locating the Tesseract.
Bruce Banner: We are, the model's locked and we're sweeping for the signature now. When we get a hit, we'll have the location within half a mile.
Tony Stark: And you'll get your cube back, no muss, no fuss. What is Phase 2?

[suddenly Steve appears with one of the weapons he's found on the ship]

Steve Rogers: Phase 2 is SHIELD used the cube to make weapons.
[to Stark]
Steve Rogers: Sorry, the computer was moving a little slow for me.
Nick Fury: Rogers, we gathered everything related to the Tesseract. This does not mean that we're...
Tony Stark: I'm sorry, Nick.

[Stark moves the computer screen towards Fury which shows plans of the weapon]

Tony Stark: What were you lying?
Steve Rogers: I was wrong, Director. The world hasn't changed a bit.

[Thor and Natasha walk into the lab as Steve, Stark and Banner are accusing Fury of lying to them]

Bruce Banner: Did you know about this?
Natasha Romanoff: You wanna think about removing yourself from this environment, doctor?
Bruce Banner: I was in Calcutta, I was pretty well removed.
Natasha Romanoff: Loki's manipulating you.
Bruce Banner: And you've been doing what exactly?
Natasha Romanoff: You didn't come here because I bat my eyelashes at you.
Bruce Banner: Yes, and I'm not leaving because suddenly you get a little twitchy.

Bruce Banner: I'd like to know why SHIELD is using the Tesseract to build weapons of mass destruction.
Nick Fury: Because of him.
[pointing at Thor]
Thor: Me?
Nick Fury: Last year earth had a visitor from another planet who had a grudge mass that levelled a small town. We learned that not only are we not alone, but we are hopelessly, hilariously, out gunned.

Thor: My people want nothing but peace with your planet.
Nick Fury: But you're not the only people out there, are you? And, you're not the only threat. The world's filling up with people who can't be matched, they can't be controlled.
Steve Rogers: Like you controlled the cube?
Thor: You're work with the Tesseract is what drew Loki to it, and his allies. It is the signal to all the realms that the earth is ready for a higher form of war.
Steve Rogers: A higher form?
Nick Fury: You forced our hand. We had to come up with something.
Tony Stark: A nuclear deterrent, cause that always calms everything right down.
Nick Fury: Remind me again how you made your fortune, Stark?
Steve Rogers: I'm sure if he still made weapons, Stark would be neck deep...
Tony Stark: Wait! Wait! Hold on! How is this now about me?
Steve Rogers: I'm sorry, isn't everything?
Thor: I thought humans were more evolved than this.
Nick Fury: Excuse me, did we come to your planet and blow stuff up?

[suddenly they all start talking over each other and arguing]

Thor: You speak of control, yet you caught chaos.
Bruce Banner: It's his M.O., isn't it? I mean, what are we, a team? No, no, no. We're a chemical mixture that makes chaos. We're...we're a time-bomb.
Nick Fury: You need to step away.
Tony Stark: Why shouldn't they guy let off a little steam?
Steve Rogers: You know damn well why! Back off!
Tony Stark: Oh, I'm starting to want you to make me.
Steve Rogers: Yeah, big man in a suit of armor. Take that off, what are you?
Tony Stark: Genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist.
Steve Rogers: I know guys with none of that worth ten of you. I've seen the footage. The only thing you really fight for is yourself. You're not the guy to make the sacrifice play, to lay down on a wire and let the other guy crawl over you.
Tony Stark: I think I would just cut the wire.
Steve Rogers: Always a way out. You know, you may not be a threat, but you better stop pretending to be a hero.
Tony Stark: A hero, like you? You're a laboratory experiment, Rogers. Everything special about you came out of a bottle.

[while everyone is arguing in the lab, Barton is sneaking up on the ship with a group of soldiers]

Steve Rogers: Put on the suite, let's go a few rounds.
[Thor laughs at them]
Thor: You people are so petty, and tiny.
Bruce Banner: Yeah, this is a team...
Nick Fury: Agent Romanoff, would you escort Dr. Banner back to his...
Bruce Banner: Where? You rented my room.
Nick Fury: The cell was just...
Bruce Banner: In case you needed to kill me, but you can't! I know, I tried. I got low, I didn't see an end, so I put a bullet in my mouth and the other guy spit it out. So I moved on, I focused on helping other people. I was good, until you dragged me back into this freak show and put everyone here at risk. You wanna know my secret, Agent Romanoff? You wanna know how I stay calm?

[everyone is now looking at Banner with suspicion, Fury unhooks his gun]

Steve Rogers: Dr. Banner, put down the scepter.

[at that same moment the computer shows a signal for locating the Tesseract]

[Banner puts down the scepter. and walks towards the computer monitor]
Bruce Banner: Sorry, kids. You don't get to see my party trick after all.
Thor: Located the Tesseract?
Tony Stark: I can get there faster.
Steve Rogers: Look, all of us...
Thor: The Tesseract belongs on Asgard, no human is a match for it.

[Stark turns to leave but Steve stops him]

Steve Rogers: You're not going alone!
Tony Stark: You gonna stop me?
Steve Rogers: Put on the suit, let's find out.
Tony Stark: I'm not afraid to hit an old man.
Steve Rogers: Put on the suit.

[at that moment Banner who's looking at the monitor notices something about the Tesseract]

Bruce Banner: Oh, my God!

[Barton shoots an explosive arrow at the ship blowing up one of the engines, everyone is thrown in every direction]
