Avengers: Infinity War Page #9

---

Thor:
Asgard is destroyed. Eitri, the glove. What did you do?

Eitri:
(He pauses before beginning his solemn story) 300 dwarves lived on this ring. I thought if I did what he asked, they’d be safe. I made what he wanted. A device capable of harnessing the power of the stones. Then he killed everyone anyway. All except me. “Your life is yours.” he said “But your hands are mine alone.”

Thor:
Eitri, this isn’t about your hands. Every weapon you’ve designed, every axe, hammer sword…It’s all inside your head. Now I know all hope feels lost. Trust me, I know. But together, you and I, we can kill Thanos.

[Cut to Nebula suspended in the interrogation room seen earlier, while a guard puts her back together. Nebula ejects her eyepiece; disposing of the guard when he comes to replace it. She walks to a console, dragging her dislocated metal foot behind her, and inputs a code.]

Nebula:
Mantis, listen very carefully. I need you to meet me on Titan.

[Cut to Peter Parker, Tony Stark, and Doctor Strange aboard the ship]

Peter Parker:
(To Tony) Hey, what’s going on?

Tony:
I think we’re here. I don’t think this rig has a self-park function. (Instructing Peter to put his arm in the machine for piloting) Get your hand into this steering gimbal. Close those around it. You understand?

Peter Parker:
Yep, got it.

Tony:
This was meant for one big guy, so we gotta to move at the same time.

Peter Parker:
Okay. Okay. Ready.

Tony:
We might wanna turn.

Peter Parker:
Turn! Turn! Turn!

(Strange creates a shield around them to prevent them from being killed in the landing.)

(The ship, now partially gone, lands on Titan)

Tony:
(To Strange) You alright?

Tony:
That was close. I owe you one.

(Peter Parker descends from above in spider-like fashion)

Peter Parker:
Let me just say, if aliens wind up implanting eggs in my chest or something…And I end up eating you, I’m sorry.

Tony:
(While pointing at Peter) I don’t wanna hear another single pop culture out of you for the rest of the trip. You understand?

Peter Parker:
I’m trying to say that something is coming.

(A grenade rolls into view, and Peter, Strange and Tony get back. Star-Lord, Drax, and Mantis appear in the doorway)

Drax:
(Yelling) Thanos!

(The Cloak of Levitation flies at Drax’s face and whips him around. Star-Lord pins Iron Man to the wall with a magnetic disc)

Peter Parker:
(While crawling backward from Mantis) Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Please don’t put your eggs in me!

(Peter webs Mantis’ arms to her body, and Star-Lord flies at him front the side, kicking him down.)

Star-Lord:
Stay down, clown.

(Tony fires at the flying Star-Lord as Peter Parker extends his spider legs and jumps at him, but Star-Lord throws an electric cord that wraps around Parker sending him to the ground)

Drax:
(Struggling with the Cloak of Levitation) Die, blanket of death!

(Iron Man pulls free of the magnet. They pull weapons on each other. Star-Lord has Peter Parker in a head-lock, while Iron Man stands over Drax with a gun, and Doctor Strange stands ready near Mantis)

Star-Lord:
Everybody stay where you are. Chill F out. (Quill powers off his helmet) I’m gonna ask you this one time. Where’s Gamora?

Tony:
Yeah, I’ll do you one better. Who’s Gamora?

Drax:
I’ll do you one better! Why is Gamora?

Star-Lord:
Tell me where the girl is, or I swear to you, I’m gonna French fry this little freak.

Tony:
Let’s do it! You shoot my guy, I blast him. Let’s go! (Tony extends his nanotech gun)

Drax:
Do it, Quill! I can take it.

Mantis:
No he can’t take it!

Strange:
She’s right. You can’t.

Star-Lord:
Oh yeah? You don’t wanna tell me where she is? That’s fine. I’ll kill all three of you and beat it out of Thanos myself. (To Parker) Starting with you.

Strange:
Wait, what, Thanos? All right, let me ask you this one time. What master do you serve?

Star-Lord:
What master do I serve? What am I supposed to say? “Jesus”?

Tony:
You’re from Earth?

Star-Lord:
I’m not from Earth. I’m from Missouri.

Tony:
Yeah, that’s on Earth dip-sh*t. What are you hassling us for?

Peter Parker:
So, you’re not with Thanos?

Star-Lord:
With Thanos? (scoffs) No, I’m here to kill Thanos. He took my girl- Wait, who are you?

Peter Parker:
We’re the Avengers, man.

Star-Lord:
Oh.

Mantis:
You’re the ones Thor told us about.

Tony:
You know Thor?

Star-Lord:
Yeah. Tall guy, not the good-looking, needed saving.

Tony:
Where is he now?

[Cut to Nivadellir where Eitri is showing Thor, Rocket, and Groot the mold for Stormbreaker]

Rocket:
This is plan? We’re gonna hit him with a brick?

Eitri:
It’s a mold. A king’s weapon. Meant to be the greatest in Asgard. In theory, it could even summon the Bifrost.

Thor:
Did it have a name?

Eitri:
Stormbreaker.

Rocket:
That’s a bit much.

Thor:
So how do we make it?

Eitri:
You’ll have to restart the forge. Awaken the heart of a dying star.

Thor:
Rabbit, fire up the pod.

[Cut to Titan where Quill is measuring the planet’s tilt. Mantis is jumping in the low gravity]

Quill:
The *heck* happened to this planet? It’s eight degrees off its axis. Gravitational pull is all over the place.

Tony:
Yeah, we got one advantage. He’s coming to us. We’ll use it. All right, I have a plan. Or at least the beginnings of one. It’s pretty simple. We draw him in, pin him down, get what we need. Definitely don’t wanna dance with this guy. We just need the gauntlet.

(Drax yawns)

Tony:
Are you yawning? In the middle of this, while I’m breaking it down? Huh? Did you hear what I said?

Drax:
I stopped listening after you said, “We need a plan.”

Tony:
(To Quill) Okay, Mr. Clean is on his own page.

Quill:
See, “not winging it” isn’t really what they do.

Peter Parker:
Uh, what exactly do they do?

Mantis:
Kick names, take ass.

Drax:
(Quietly as he shifts to a commanding position beside Mantis) Yeah, that’s right

Tony:
(Tony stands for a moment with an expression of hopelessness) Alright, just get over her, please. Mr. Lord can you get your folks to circle up?

Quill:
“Mr. Lord.” Star-Lord is fine. (Motions to Drax and Mantis)

Tony:
We gotta coalesce. ‘Cause if all we come at him with is a plucky attitude..”

Quill:
Dude, don’t call us plucky. We don’t know what is means. Alright, we’re optimistic, yes. I like your plan. Except it sucks, so let me do the plans, and that way it might be really good.

Drax:
Tell him about the dance-off to save the universe.

Tony:
What dance-off?

Quill:
It’s nothing.

Peter Parker:
Like in Footloose, the movie?

Quill:
(Excitedly) Exactly like Footloose. Is it still the greatest movie in history?

Peter Parker:
It never was.

(Quill frowns sadly at him)

Tony:
Don’t encourage this, alright?

Peter Parker:
Okay.

Tony:
We’re getting no help from Flash Gordon here.

Quill:
Flash Gordon? By the way, that’s a compliment. Don’t forget, I’m half human. (Quill points at Stark and Parker) So that 50% of me that’s stupid… That’s 100% you.

Tony:
Your math is blowing my mind.

Mantis:
Excuse me, but…Does your friend often do that?
