Thor: Ragnarok Page #3

---

Thor starts to say something, but then gives up. Instead he

starts towards the exit... but Skurge stands in his way.

BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 9.

THOR:

Sure.

SKURGE:

Hold on. I'm supposed to announce

your arrival.

Thor SPINS UP Mjolnir and takes off in a blur. Skurge starts

the loooong run down the Rainbow Bridge.

12 OMITTED 12

A13 EXT. THEATER ENTRANCE - DAY A13

THOR arrives with Surtur's skull.

There's a small crowd making its way through a threshold over

which stands a monumental statue of Loki, arms out-stretched

in the `savior' pose.

Confused, Thor turns to a theater patron.

THOR:

What the hell is that?

13 EXT. ASGARD - ROYAL TERRACE - PATIO - MOMENTS LATER 13

LOKI falls into frame, GASPING FOR BREATH... although it's

not Loki. This is ACTOR LOKI and we're watching a STAGE PLAY.

In the background, a single musician plays the haunting score

from THOR:
THE DARK WORLD on a pan flute.

Suddenly, ACTOR THOR leans into shot, holding Actor Loki.

ACTOR LOKI:

Oh, brother. This is it. I take

my leave.

ACTOR THOR:

You fool, you didn't listen!

ACTOR LOKI:

I'm sorry.

ACTOR THOR:

Lady Sif! Get help!

"Sif" awkwardly runs off. The "Warriors Three" watch sadly. A

small choir JOINS IN as the music builds to a CRESCENDO.

ACTOR SIF:

Somebody help!

BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 10.

In the middle of the audience we reveal ODIN, sitting upon a

chaise lounge, sipping wine and thoroughly enjoying the show.

Unseen, Thor arrives behind the audience and watches.

ACTOR LOKI:

Sorry for all I've done.

ACTOR THOR:

It's all right. Hold on.

ACTOR LOKI:

I'm sorry I tried to rule Earth.

ACTOR THOR:

They'd be lucky to have you.

ACTOR LOKI:

I'm sorry about that thing with the

Tesseract. I just couldn't help

myself.

ACTOR THOR:

I know.

ACTOR LOKI:

I'm a trickster.

ACTOR THOR:

So mischievous.

ACTOR LOKI:

Sorry about that time I turned you

into a frog.

ACTOR THOR:

It was a wonderful joke.

ODIN:

(to no-one in particular)

Twas indeed hilarious.

ACTOR THOR:

You are the savior of Asgard.

ACTOR LOKI:

Tell my story.

ACTOR THOR:

I will.

ACTOR LOKI:

Build a statue for me.

BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 11.

ACTOR THOR:

We will build a big statue for you.

ACTOR LOKI:

With my helmet on, with the big

bendy horns.

ACTOR THOR:

I will tell Father what you did

here today.

Odin mouths Actor Loki's final line along with him.

ACTOR LOKI:

I didn't do it for him.

Actor Loki then "dies".

ACTOR THOR:

Noooooo!!!

The brothers freeze in a TABLEAU as ACTOR ODIN steps forward.

ACTOR ODIN:

And so Loki died of his wounds,

giving his life for ours. He

fought back those disgusting dark

elves. He brought peace to the

realm.

He takes a 4-YEAR-OLD BOY, PAINTED BLUE, into his arms.

ACTOR ODIN (CONT'D)

Loki, my boy...`Twas many moons ago

I found you on a frost-bitten

battlefield.

Thor watches, incredulous. He then notices that a woman next

to him is openly SOBBING at the play.

ACTOR ODIN (CONT'D)

On that day, I did not yet see in

you Asgard's savior. No. You were

merely a little blue baby icicle...

that melted this old fool's heart.

The crowd erupts in rapturous applause. The players bow. Odin

stands up, leading the crowd in this STANDING OVATION.

ODIN:

Bravo! Bravo! Well done. Bravo.

THOR:

Father.

BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 12.

Odin sees Thor taking a knee. Curses under his breath:

ODIN:

Oh, sh*t.

(then, announcing)

My son! Thor has returned!

Greetings my boy.

Odin goes through a weird internal transformation. His

fluidity is replaced by a rigid and regal posture. He bats

away his maiden and turns to Thor, who stands up.

THOR:

It's an interesting play. What's

it called?

ODIN:

The Tragedy of Loki of Asgard. The

people wanted to commemorate him.

THOR:

Indeed they should.

(provoking)

I like that statue. A lot better

looking than he was when he was

alive, though. A little less

weasely. Less greasy maybe.

Odin sours, masking his agitation. Thor holds up the skull.

THOR (CONT'D)

You know what this is?

ODIN (ADR)

The skull of Surtur? That's a

formidable weapon.

Thor approaches an E-Guard and hands it over.

THOR:

Do me a favor. Lock this in a

vault so it doesn't turn into a

giant monster and destroy the whole

planet.

ODIN:

So it's back to Midgard for you, is

it?

Thor starts YO-YOing Mjolnir, turns back to Odin.

THOR:

Nope. I've been having this

reocurring dream lately.

BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 13.

THOR (CONT'D)

Every night I see Asgard fall into

ruins...

ODIN:

That's just a silly dream... Signs

of an overactive imagination.

THOR:

Possibly... but then I decide to go

out there and investigate. And

what do I find, but the Nine Realms

completely in chaos. Enemies of

Asgard assembling, plotting our

demise, all while you, Odin, the

protector of those Nine Realms, are

sitting here in your bathrobe,

eating grapes.
