Avengers: Endgame Page #14

[Rhodey knocks out Quill and Nebula rummages around to take Quill's tool.]

RHODEY:
What's that?

NEBULA:
The tool of a thief.

[Nebula uses the tool to open the door that leads to The Orb A.K.A The Power Stone. Nebula tries to walk in but is stopped by Rhodey.]

RHODEY:
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa...This is the part where spikes come out with skeletons on the end and everything...

NEBULA:
What are you talking about?

RHODEY:
When you break into a place called the temple of the Power Stone, There's gonna be a bunch of booby traps–

[Nebula just shakes her head and walks in.]

RHODEY:
Okay. All right. Go ahead.

[Nebula forces her hand inside the force field protecting The Orb while it melts away the exterior plating on her arm. She successfully retrieves The Orb and hands it to Rhodey all the while Rhodey watched the whole thing happened.]

NEBULA:
I wasn't always like this.

RHODEY:
Me either. But we work with what we got, right?

[They just both look at each other solemnly.]

RHODEY:
Sync up. [They both suit up.] Three.. two.. one...

[Rhodey is the only one who disappears while Nebula is left behind unable to move, then she riddled with pain on her head. She falls to the ground.]

[Sanctuary II. 2014 Nebula is being scanned in synch with her future self. A memory is played, coming from future Nebula's head.]

BRUCE (Memory):
You murdered trillions!

THANOS (Memory):
You should be grateful.

NATASHA (Memory): Where are the stones?

THANOS (Memory):
Gone. Reduced to atoms.

BRUCE (Memory):
You used them two days ago.

THANOS (Memory):
I used the stones to destroy the stones. It nearly killed me. But the work is done. It always will be. I am inevitable.

[Memory pauses.]

GAMORA (2014):
What did you do to them?

THANOS (2014):
Nothing. Yet. They're not trying to stop something I'm going to do in our time. They're trying to undo something I've already done in theirs.

GAMORA (2014):
The stones...

THANOS (2014):
I found them all. I won. Tipped the cosmic scales to balance.

[Thanos (2014) caress Gamora (2014) and she kneels down]

EBONY MAW (2014): This is your future.

THANOS (2014):
It's my destiny.

[Maw resumes playing the memory]

NEBULA (Memory):
My father is many things. A liar is not one of them.

THANOS (Memory):
Ah...Thank you, Daughter. Perhaps I treated you too harshly...

[Thanos gets beheaded in the memory, Gamora (2014) is shocked and stands up]

THANOS (2014):
And that, is destiny fulfilled.

EBONY MAW (2014): [Dangerous voice.] Sire, your Daughter...

[Maw (2014) telekinetically wraps a chain around Nebula (2014).]

NEBULA (2014):
No!

EBONY MAW (2014): ...is a traitor.

NEBULA (2014):
That's not me. It's not. I could never... I would never betray you. Never.

[Thanos (2014) releases the chain around Nebula (2014) neck and holds her head in his palm]

THANOS (2014):
I know. And you'll have the chance to prove it.

[Thanos (2014) makes sure Nebula cannot travel back to 2023. Nebula is stuck in 2014.]

NEBULA:
No! He knows! [Runs back to the ship and gets on the comms.] Barton? Barton, come in. Romanoff? Come in, we have a problem. Come on! Come in, we have a prob....Thanos knows. Thanos… He knows.

[Nebula looks up in horror just to be abducted by the Sanctuary II. The scene cuts to Steve, who has just defeated himself, jumping down from a building with the scepter]

TONY STARK:
Cap–

[He turns around to see Tony and Scott sitting in a broken car.]

TONY STARK:
Sorry, buddy. We got a– problem.

SCOTT LANG:
Huh. Yeah, we do.

STEVE ROGERS:
Well, what are we gonna do now?

TONY STARK:
You know what? Give me a break, Steve. I just got hit in the head with the Hulk.

SCOTT LANG:
You said that we had one shot. This– this was our shot. We shot it. It's shot. Six stones or nothing. Six stones or nothing–

TONY STARK:
You're repeating yourself, you know that? You're repeating yourself.

SCOTT LANG:
You're repeating yourself. You're repeating yourself. You know– No.

TONY STARK:
Dude, come on.

SCOTT LANG:
You never wanted a time heist, you went on board with the time heist–

TONY STARK:
I dropped the ball.

SCOTT LANG:
You ruined the time heist.

TONY STARK:
Is that what I did?

SCOTT LANG:
Yeah!

STEVE ROGERS:
Are there any other options with the Tesseract?

SCOTT LANG:
No, no, no. There's no other options. There's no do-overs. We're not going anywhere else. We have one particle left. Each. That's it, alright? We use that– Bye, bye. You're not going home.

STEVE ROGERS:
Yeah, well if we don't try, then no one else is going home, either.

TONY STARK:
I got it. There's another way. To retake the Tesseract and acquire new particles. We'll stroll down memory lane. Military installation, Garden State.

STEVE ROGERS:
When were they both there?

TONY STARK:
They were there at a– I've a vaguely exact idea.

STEVE ROGERS:
How vague?

SCOTT LANG:
What are you talking about? Where are we going?

TONY STARK:
I know for a fact they were there–

SCOTT LANG:
Who's they? What are we doing?

TONY STARK:
And I know how I know.

SCOTT LANG:
Guys, what's up? What is it?

TONY STARK:
Well, it looks like we're improvising.

SCOTT LANG:
Right. What are we improvising?

TONY STARK:
Scott, get this back to the compound.

TONY STARK:
Suit up.

SCOTT LANG:
What's in New Jersey?

TONY STARK:
0-4,

STEVE ROGERS:
0-4– -

TONY STARK:
Uhh, 0-7.

STEVE ROGERS:
0-7. -

SCOTT LANG:
Excuse me...

TONY STARK:
1-9-7-0.

STEVE ROGERS:
Are you sure?

SCOTT LANG:
Cap. Captain. Steve, sorry, America. Rogers. Look, if you do this, and this doesn't work, you're not coming back.

TONY STARK:
Thanks for the pep talk, pissant. [To Steve] Do you trust me?

STEVE ROGERS:
I do.

TONY STARK:
Your call.

STEVE ROGERS:
Here we go.

[Cut to Steve and Tony in New Jersey, 1970]

OUR WATCHER INFORMANT, STAN LEE (1922-2018 R.I.P): [Driving past Steve and Tony] Hey, man! Make love, not war!

TONY STARK:
Clearly, you weren't actually born here, right?

STEVE ROGERS:
The idea of me was.

TONY STARK:
Right. Well, imagine you're SHIELD, running a quasi-fascistic intelligence organization. Where do you hide it?

STEVE ROGERS:
In plain sight.

[Tony and Steve are in an elevator with a lady]

TONY STARK:
[Leaving the elevator] Good luck on your mission, Captain.

STEVE ROGERS:
[Waiting for another floor] Good luck on your project, doctor.

ELEVATOR LADY:
You're new here?

STEVE ROGERS:
Not exactly.

[Cut to Tony in what seems to be a lab area and he is looking for the tesseract]

TONY STARK:
[Grabbing Tesseract] Gotcha. Back in the game.

HOWARD STARK:
Arnim, you in there? Arnim? Hey! Door's this way, pal.

TONY STARK:
Oh, yeah.

HOWARD STARK:
I'm looking for Dr. Zola. Have you seen him?

TONY STARK:
Yeah, no, Dr. Zol– No, I haven't seen a soul. [awkwardly bumps into a chair] Pardon me.

HOWARD STARK:
Do I know you?

TONY STARK:
No, sir. I'm a– a visitor from MIT.
