Avengers: Infinity War Page #7

VISION:
Eliminating the stone is the only way to be certain that Thanos can’t get it.

WANDA:
That’s too high a price.

VISION:
Only you, have the power to pay it. Thanos threatens half the Universe. One life cannot stand in the way of defeating him.

ROGERS:
But it should. We don’t trade lives, Vision.

VISION:
(While walking toward Steve) Captain, 70 years ago, you laid down your life to save how many millions of people. Tell me, why is this any different?

(Steve takes a breath, but before he has a chance to answer Bruce begins to speak)

BRUCE:
Because you might have a choice. Your mind is made up of a complex construct of overlays. Jarvis, Ultron, Tony, me, the Stone. All of them mixed together. All of them learning from one another.

WANDA:
You’re saying Vision isn’t just the stone?

BRUCE:
I’m saying that… If we take out the stone, there’s still a whole lot of Vision left. Perhaps the best parts.

NATASHA:
Can we do that?

BRUCE:
Not me. Not here.

RHODEY:
You better find someone, and somewhere fast. Ross isn’t exactly just gonna let you guys have your old rooms back.

ROGERS:
(pause) I know somewhere.

(Cuts to Wakanda, as T’Challa and Okoye walk together, accompanied by two Wakandan soldiers)

Okoye:
You’ll have the King’s Guard, and the Dora Milaje have been alerted.

T’Challa:
And the border tribe?

Okoye:
Those that are left.

T’Challa:
Send word to the Jabari as well. M’Baku likes a good fight.

Okoye:
And what of this one?

T’Challa:
This one may be tired of war. but the White Wolf has rested long enough.

(The Wakandan soldiers present the White Wolf with a new adamantium arm)

BUCKY:
Where’s the fight?

T’CHALLA:
On it’s way.

[Cut to Ebony Maw interrogating Doctor Strange]

Ebony Maw:
In all the time I’ve served Thanos, I’ve never failed him. If I were to reach our rendezvous on Titan with the Time Stone still attatched to your vaguely irritating person, there would be…judgement. Give me… the stone.

(Cut to Tony who is watching, hidden, from above. Strange’s cloak taps Stark on the arm. He raises his hand to it, ready to shoot, but he sees what it is and stands down.)

TONY:
Wow you’re a seriously loyal piece of outerwear, aren’t you?

Peter Parker:
Yeah, uh, speaking of loyalty…

Tony:
What the-

Peter Parker:
I know what you’re gonna say.

Tony:
You should not be here.

Peter Parker:
I was gonna go home-

Tony:
I don’t wanna hear it.

Peter Parker:
But it was such a long way down and I just thought about you on the way-

Tony:
And now I gotta hear it.

Peter Parker:
…And I kinda stuck to the side of the ship. And this suit is ridiculously intuitive, by the way. So if anything, it’s kinda your fault that I’m here.

Tony:
(seriously) What did you just say?

Peter Parker:
I take that back. And now I’m here in space.

Tony:
Yeah. Right where I don’t want you to be. This isn’t Coney Island. This isn’t a field trip. It’s one-way ticket. You hear me? Don’t pretend like you thought this through. You could not have possibly thought this through.

Peter Parker:
No. I did think this through.

Tony:
You could not have possibly thought this through.

Peter Parker:
It’s just- You can’t be a friendly neighborhood Spider – Man when there’s no neighborhood. (Pause) Okay. That didn’t really make any sense, but you know what I’m trying to say.

Tony:
Come on. We got a situation. See him down there? He’s in trouble. What’s your plan? Go.

Peter Parker:
Um. Okay. Okay…uh…did you ever see that really old movie, Aliens?

(Cut back to Ebony Maw interrogating Strange.)

EBONY MAW:
Painful aren’t they? They were originally designed for microsurgery. And any one of them…

(he turns to see Stark in his Iron Man suit standing there.)

EBONY MAW:
…could end your friend’s life in an instant.

Tony:
I gotta tell you, he’s not really my friend. Saving his life is more a professional courtesy.

EBONY MAW:
You’ve saved nothing. Your powers are inconsequential compared to mine.

Tony:
Yeah, but the kid’s seen more movies.

(Tony fires a rocket from his shoulder which pierces the side of the ship and begins to suck everything out. Strange begins to be sucked out, but his cape wraps around his arm. Unfortunately, his arm slips from it and he keeps going. Spider-Man shoots a web strand at Strange with one hand and holds onto a piece of the ship with the other. It breaks, sending them both towards space when his Iron-Spider suit’s metal arms brace him to keep him from being sucked out.)

Peter Parker:
Yes! Wait what are those!

(He then pulls them back inside just as Tony sprays nanites onto the hole to plug it up. Peter and Strange safely hit the floor. Ebony Maw is seen floating in space, quite dead.Peter stands and tries to shake Strange’s cape’s “hand”.)

Peter Parker:
Hey, we haven’t officially met. (it ignores him and goes to Strange.) Cool.

Strange:
We’ve gotta turn this ship around.

Tony:
Yeah. Now he wants to run. Great plan.

Strange:
No, I want to protect the stone.

Tony:
And I want you to thank me. Go ahead. I’m listening.

Strange:
For what? Nearly blasting me into space?

Tony:
Who just saved your magical ass? Me.

Strange:
I seriously don’t know how you fit your head into that helmet.

Tony:
Admit it. You should have ducked out when I told you to. I tried to bench you. You refused.

Strange:
Unlike everyone else in your life, I don’t work for you.

Tony:
And due to that fact, we’re now in a flying doughnut billions of miles away from Earth with no backup.

Peter Parker:
I’m backup.

Tony:
No. You’re a stowaway. The adults are talking.

Strange:
I’m sorry, I’m confused as to the relationship here. What is he, your ward?

Peter Parker:
No. I’m peter, by the way.

Strange:
Doctor Strange.

Peter Parker:
Oh we’re using our made-up names. Um…I’m Spider-Man, then.

Tony:
This ship is self-correcting its course. Thing’s on autopilot.

Strange:
Can we control it? Fly us home? (Tony doesn’t make eye contact.) Stark?

Tony:
Yeah.

Strange:
Can you get us home?

Tony:
Yeah I heard you. I’m thinking…I’m not so sure we should.

Strange:
Under no circumstance can we bring the Time Stone to Thanos. I don’t think you quite understand what’s at stake here.

Tony:
No. It’s you who doesn’t understand. Thanos has been inside my head for six years…Since he sent an army to New York and now he’s back! And I don’t know what to do. So I’m not so sure if it’s a better plan to fight him on out turf or his but you saw what they did, what he can do. At least on his turf, he’s not expecting it. So I say we take the fight to him. Doctor. Do you concur?

Strange:
(a pause) Alright , Stark. We go to him. But you have to understand….if it comes to saving you or the kid or the Time Stone… I will not hesitate to let either of you die. I can’t, because the fate of the universe depends on it.

Tony:
Good. Nice. Moral compass.We’re straight. (Turning to Peter, he puts his outstretched arm briefly on either shoulder) Alright, kid. You’re an Avenger now.

(Peter looks at Tony in disbelief, and then smiles and nods in satisfaction.)
