[completed] Infinity war as a book

father daughter

[Cut to Thanos's mothership, Sactuary II, which dwarfs the  massive ring-ships the Black Order have been using. Gamora sits near the  throne deep inside the ship. Thanos walks up, bringing a cup of food  and holds it out to her.]

Thanos: I thought you might be hungry.

[Gamora takes it, then hurls it across the room where it bangs against Thanos's throne with a loud clack.]

Gamora: I always hated that chair.

Thanos: So I've been told. Even so. I'd hoped you'd sit on it one day.

Gamora: I hated this room. This ship. I hated my life.

Thanos: You told me that too. [Thanos mounts two of the four steps to his throne, turns, and sits on the second from the top.] Every day. For almost twenty years.

Gamora: I was a child when you took me.

Thanos: I saved you.

Gamora: No. No. We were happy on my home planet.

Thanos: Going to bed hungry, scrounging for scraps. Your  planet was on the brink of collapse. I'm the one who stopped that. Do  you know what's happened since then? The children born have known  nothing but full bellies and clear skies. It's a paradise.

Gamora: Because you murdered half the planet.

Thanos: A small price to pay for salvation.

Gamora: You're insane.

Thanos: Little one, it's a simple calculus. This universe  is finite, its resources finite. If life is left unchecked, life will  cease to exist. It needs correction.

Gamora: You don't know that!

Thanos: [scowls as hs egotistical narcissism prevents him from fully listening to her] I'm the only one who knows that. At least, I'm the only one with the will to act on it. [he stands again and walks back to Gamora] For a time... you had that same will... as you fought by my side. Daughter.

Gamora: I'm not your daughter. Everything I hate about myself you taught me.

Thanos: And in doing so, made you the fiercest woman in the galaxy. That's why I trusted you to find the Soul Stone.

Gamora: I'm sorry I disappointed you.

Thanos: I am disappointed. But not because you didn't find it. [leans down to put their heads at a level, whispering fiercely] But because you did. [looks at her] And you lied.

[Thanos and Gamora stand outside a large solid door that  slides open vertically as they approach, then pause as a set of inner  doors made of interlacing metal slide away. Inside, we see Nebula  face-on, suspended horizontally in the air in the middle of the room,  her breath shuddering in pain.]

Gamora: Nebula.

[Gamora hurries to to Nebula's left side, and we now see that  she has been partially disassembled, her components stretched apart -- a  cybernetic version of the medieval torture rack. Hannibal Lecter level  of brutality.]

Gamora: Don't do this.

Thanos: Some time ago, your sister snuck aboard this ship to kill me.

Gamora: Please don't do this.

Thanos: And very nearly succeeded. So I brought her here. To talk.

[Thanos curls his gauntleted fist, activating both the Power  and Space Stones, scowling -- causing Nebula's already extended pieces  to stretch further outward. She begins to scream.]

Gamora: Stop. Stop it. [she puts her hands on the gauntlet, pulling it down] I swear to you on my life. I never found the Soul Stone.

[Thanos signals a nearby servant who taps on a control pad. We hear Nebula's voice say, "Accessing memory files" and a sort of hologram of Gamora's face shudders to life.]

Memory Nebula: You know what he's about to do. He's finally ready, and he's going for the stones. All of them.

Memory Gamora: He can never get them all.

Memory Nebula: He will!

Memory Gamora: He can't, Nebula. Because I found the map to the Soul Stone and I burnt it to ash. I burnt it.

[The memory ends.]

Thanos: [to Gamora, walking around behind her] You're strong. Me. You're generous. Me. But I never taught you to lie. That's why you're so bad at it. [his voice drips with disgust] Where is the Soul Stone? [He  raises his gauntlet next to Gamora's face. Nebula shakes her head,  expression terrified, to encourage her sister's silence but when Gamora  does not answer, Thanos clenches the gauntlet again, brow furrowed at  his adopted daughter as the Power and Space Stoes are reactivated.  Gamora grimaces in shared pain at her sister's screams, growing louder  as Thanos increases the pressure.]

Gamora: Vormir! [Thanos unclenches his hand, and Nebula  gasps in air as her parts snap back almost into place. Gamora goes to  her and caresses her face.] The Stone is on Vormir.

Thanos: [satisfied.] Show me.
