[Above on Laufey's watching perch, Stephen shivers and gulps.]
Laufey: Guys, guys, relax. It's only halftime.
[Below, Loki and Rocket hear rumbling from Hydra's body.]
Rocket: That doesn't sound good. [Hydra gets three new heads] Definitely not good!
[Loki on Fenrir fights with Hydra and keeps slicing her heads off, getting more and more new ones]
Rocket: Will you forget that head-slicing thing?
[Loki gets knocked off Fenrir and falls among heads and necks of Hydra]
Loki: Rocket, I don't think we covered this one in basic training!
[Loki escapes, but falls back from the cliff and is now pressed against the wall by Hydra's paw]
Laufey: My favorite part of the game: sudden death.
[Loki crushes the rock on Hydra and gets buried under rocks himself too.]
Rocket: Oh! There goes another one. Just like Achilles.
Laufey: (lighting himself a cigar) Game. Set. Match.
[Loki appears from Hydra's dead paw. Crowd chears real loud now]
Loki: Rocket, you gotta admit, that was pretty heroic.
Rocket: Ya did it, kid! Ya did it! You won by a landslide!
[Above, Laufey turns a bright shade of red, destroying his cigar and pinches his minions' eye sockets.]
Stephen: (in pain) Laufey mad.
Maddie: Well. What do ya know?
[Cut to Muses]
Sylvie: From that day forward, our boy Loki could do no wrong. (spoken) He was so hot, steam looked cool. Oh, yeah! Bless my soul, Lokes was on a roll.
Jane: Person of the week, in every norse opinion poll.
Yelena: What a pro!
Sylvie: Lokes could stop a show, point him at a monster and you're talkin' S.R.O. He was a no one!
Muses: A zero, a zero.
Sylvie: Now he's a honcho!
Muses: He's a hero!
Sylvie: He was a kid with his act down pat!
Muses: Zero to hero in no time flat! Zero to hero!
Sylvie: Just like that!
Muses: When he entered the girls went wild! With oohs and aahs!
Jane: And they slapped his face, on every vase!
Gwen: On every "Vahse"!
Muses: From appearance fees and royalties our Lokes had cash to burn. Now nouveau riche and famous.
Sylvie: He could tell you what's a nordic urn.
Say amen, there he goes again.
Pepper: Sweet and undefeated and an awesome ten for ten.
Muses: Folks lined up just to watch him cast spells and tell them to kneel.
Jane: And this perfect package packed a pair of pretty pecs and armor.
Muses: Frosty, he comes, he sees, he conquers. Honey, the crowds were goin' bonkers. He showed the moxie brains and spunk -- yeah! From zero to hero.
Jane: A major hunk.
