Avengers: Infinity War Page #2

Tony Stark:
Yeah. You know what there should be? No more surprises. We’re gonna have a nice dinner tonight. Show off this Harry Winston. Right? And we should have no more surprises. Ever. I should promise you.

Pepper Potts:
Yes.

Tony Stark:
I will. (Tony kisses Pepper.)

[Doctor Strange comes through a portal]

Doctor Strange:
Tony Stark, I’m Doctor Stephen Strange. I need you to come with me. Oh, uh, congratulations on the wedding, by the way.

Tony Stark:
I’m sorry, you giving out tickets or something?

Doctor Strange:
We need your help. Look, it’s not overselling to say that the fate of the universe is at stake.

Tony Stark:
And who’s “we”?

Bruce Banner:
[Emerges behind Doctor Strange] Hey, Tony.

Tony Stark:
[Looking surprised] Bruce.

Bruce Banner:
Pepper.

Pepper Potts:
Hi.

Tony Stark:
You okay?

[Bruce gives Tony a hug, not answering. After everything he has been through, we understand.]

[Back at the Sanctum Sanctorum]

Wong:
[Using magic to show the universe and five out of six Infinity Stones] From the dawn of the universe, there was nothing. Then, boom! The Big Bang sent six elemental crystals, hurdling across the virgin universe. These Infinity Stones each control an essential aspect of existence.

Doctor Strange:
Space. Reality. Power. Soul. Mind. And Time.

[Dr. Strange opens the Eye of Agamotto, revealing the Time Stone.]

Tony Stark:
Tell me his name again.

Bruce Banner:
Thanos. He’s a plague, Tony. He invades planets, he takes what he wants, he wipes out half the population. He sent Loki! The attack on New York, that’s him!

Tony Stark:
[Speaking to himself] This is him…What’s our timeline?

Bruce Banner:
No telling. He has the Power and Space Stones, that already makes him the strongest creature in the whole universe! If he gets his hands, on all six Stones, Tony…

Doctor Strange:
He can destroy life on a scale hither to undreamt of.

Tony Stark:
[Leans against a cauldron, stretching casually] Did you seriously just say “hither to undreamt of”?

Doctor Strange:
Are you seriously leaning on the Cauldron of the Cosmos?

Tony Stark:
Is that what this is…?

[The Cloak of Levitation smacks Tony’s arm.]

Tony Stark:
[Looking offended] I’m going to allow that. If Thanos needs all six, why don’t we just stick this one down the garbage disposal?

Doctor Strange:
No can do.

Wong:
We swore an oath to protect the Time Stone. With our lives.

Tony Stark:
And I swore off dairy, but then, Ben & Jerry’s named a flavor after me, so…

Doctor Strange:
Stark Raving Hazelnuts.

Tony Stark:
It’s not bad.

Doctor Strange:
A bit chalky.

Wong:
“A Hunka-Hulka Burning Fudge” is our favorite.

Bruce Banner:
That’s a thing?

Tony Stark:
Whatever. Point is: Things change.

Doctor Strange:
Our oath to protect the Time Stone cannot change. This Stone may be the best chance we have against Thanos.

Tony Stark:
And still conversely, it may also be his best chance against us.

Doctor Strange:
Well, if we don’t do our jobs.

Tony Stark:
What is your job exactly, besides making balloon animals?

Doctor Strange:
Protecting your reality, douchebag.

Bruce Banner:
Okay, guys, can we quick cable this discussion right now? The fact is that we have the Stone. We know where it is. Vision is out there somewhere with the Mind Stone, and we have to find him now.

Tony Stark:
[awkwardly] Yeah, that’s the thing.

Bruce Banner:
What do you mean?

Tony Stark:
Two weeks ago, Vision turned off his transponder. He’s offline.

Bruce Banner:
What?! Tony, you lost another super bot?!

Tony Stark:
I didn’t lose him. He’s more than that. He’s evolving.

Doctor Strange:
Who could find Vision, then?

Tony Stark:
Sh*t. Probably Steve Rogers.

Doctor Strange:
[sighing in exasperation] Oh, great.

Tony Stark:
Maybe. But…

Bruce Banner:
[missing the events of Civil War] Call him.

Tony Stark:
It’s not that easy. God, we haven’t caught up in a spell, have we?

Bruce Banner:
No.

Tony Stark:
The Avengers broke up. We’re toast.

Bruce Banner:
Broke up? Like a band? Like The Beatles?

Tony Stark:
Cap and I fell out hard. We’re not on speaking terms.

Bruce Banner:
Tony, listen to me. Thor’s gone. Thanos is coming. It doesn’t matter who you’re talking to or not.

[Tony hesitates, before pulling out the cellular phone Steve mailed him, muttering ‘flip phone’. It seems as though he brings it everywhere, always ready to call his lost friend. Before clicking “Call”, he pauses. He hears unusual sounds.]

Tony Stark:
Say, Doc, you wouldn’t happen to be moving your hair, would you?

Doctor Strange:
[Trying to look up at one of his stray hairs fluttering] … Not at the moment, no.

[Tony looks at the opening on the ceiling and sees metal scraps flying by outside. He exits the Sanctum and scans the chaotic surroundings. He helps a woman up.]

Tony Stark:
You okay?

[The woman ignores him and runs away. A car crashes in on a pole behind Tony.]

Tony Stark:
Help him! Wong, Doc.

Bruce Banner:
Go! Got it!

Tony Stark:
[Putting on his sunglasses] F.R.I.D.A.Y., what am I looking at?

F.R.I.D.A.Y.:
Not sure, I’m working on it.

Tony Stark:
Hey! You might wanna put that Time Stone in your back pocket, Doc!

Doctor Strange:
Might wanna use it.

[A huge circular ship is seen floating near Bleecker Street. On a bus, the hairs on Peter Parker’s arms stand up. He looks out the window and sees the ship.]

Peter Parker:
[Tapping his friend from the seat in front of him] Ned, hey. I need you to cause a distraction.

Ned Leeds:
Holy sh*t! We’re all gonna die! There’s a spaceship!

[Peter Parker opens a window using his web shooter. He exits the bus. Students scramble to the windows to see the spaceship.]

Stan Lee:
What’s the matter with you kids? You’ve never seen a spaceship before?

[Peter Parker wears his Spider-Man mask and makes his way towards the ship.]

Tony Stark:
F.R.I.D.A.Y., evac anyone south of 43rd Street, notify first responders.

F.R.I.D.A.Y.:
Will do.

[Doctor Strange stops the ship’s engine. The dust clears. Ebony Maw and Black Dwarf exit the ship.]

Ebony Maw:
Hear me, and rejoice. You are about to die at the hands of the Children of Thanos. Be thankful, that your meaningless lives are now contributing to…

Tony Stark:
I’m sorry, Earth is closed today. You better pack it up and get outta here.

Ebony Maw:
[Looks at Strange] Stone keeper… Does this chattering animal speak for you?

Doctor Strange:
Certainly not. I speak for myself. But you’re trespassing in this city and on this planet.

Tony Stark:
It means get lost Squidward!

Ebony Maw:
He exhausts me. Bring me the Stone.

Tony Stark:
Banner, you want a piece?

Bruce Banner:
No, not really, but when do I ever get what I want?

Tony Stark:
That’s right.

[Bruce attempts to release the Hulk. Instead of Hulk coming out easily, the most that turns green is Bruce’s neck]

Tony Stark:
Been a while. Good to have you, buddy.

Bruce Banner:
I just… I need to concentrate here for one second. Come on, come on, man.

Tony Stark:
Where’s your guy?

Bruce Banner:
I don’t know. We’ve sort been havin’ a thing.
