Thor Page #19

FRIGGA:

I don't know. This time is

different. We were unprepared.

LOKI:

I never get used to seeing him like

this. The most powerful being in

the Nine Realms lying helpless

until his body is restored.

FRIGGA:

But he's put it off for so long

now, I fear...

Loki takes her hand. She's grateful, wipes tears from her

eyes.

FRIGGA (CONT'D)

You're a good son.

Loki sits there, uncertain how to react, uncertain how he

really feels.

FRIGGA (CONT'D)

We mustn't lose hope that your

father will return to us. And your

brother.

Loki looks to Frigga, concerned.

LOKI:

What hope is there for Thor?

FRIGGA:

There's always a purpose to

everything your father does. Thor

may yet find a way home.

Loki looks troubled by the revelation. He rises, heads for

the exit, when they hear the clatter of ARMORED FOOTSTEPS

hurriedly approaching.

THE EINHERJAR GUARD

Enter the room, block his way out. Loki tenses, prepared for

the worst, but the guards just stand before them. Loki is

baffled.

FRIGGA (CONT'D)

Thor is banished. The line of

succession falls to you. Until he

awakens, Asgard is yours.

The Einherjar kneel before the shocked Loki. Another

EINHERJAR enters, holding Gungnir before him. He kneels

before Loki, offers the spear to him.

FRIGGA (CONT'D)

Make your father proud.

Loki reaches out tentatively, then takes it. He likes the

feel of it in his hand.

62 INT. ISABELA'S DINER - MORNING 62

Thor, Selvig, Darcy, and Jane sit at a table in the local

diner. Selvig and Darcy watch as Thor eats ravenously from a

huge mound of steak and eggs. A couple other full plates --

pancakes and biscuits and gravy -- are piled high before him.

Jane's eager, her notebook at the ready.

JANE:

Now tell us exactly what happened

to you last night.

Thor looks her in the eyes, staring, intrigued. Jane gets

flustered, looks away.

JANE (CONT'D)

Maybe start with how you got inside

that cloud.

DARCY:

And how you could eat an entire box

of Pop-Tarts and still be this

hungry.

Jane shoots her a withering look. Thor downs a cup of

coffee.

THOR:

(re:
coffee mug)

This drink. I like it.

DARCY:

(to Thor, re:
coffee)

Yeah, it's great, isn't it?

Isabela makes the best coffee in

town.

Thor hurls the empty mug at the ground, SHATTERING it.

THOR:

(CALLS OUT)

Another!

ISABELA ALVAREZ (60), the diner's proprietor, glares at Thor

from behind the counter.

JANE:

Sorry, Izzy. Little accident.

(IN SPANISH)

Yo voy a pagar la taza.

Isabela turns to a WAITRESS and starts venting quickly in

Spanish.

ISABELA:

(IN SPANISH)

Did you see that? The first time

she brings a man in here, and he's

a lunatic!

JANE:

(to Thor, re:
mug)

What was that?

He doesn't understand. The other patrons stare at him.

THOR:

It was delicious. I want another.

JANE:

Then you should just say so!

THOR:

I just did.

JANE:

I mean ask for it. Nicely.

THOR:

I meant no disrespect.

JANE:

All right, then no more smashing,

deal?

THOR:

You have my word.

JANE:

Good.

4th BLUE REVISIONS 03-26-10 55.

A few TOWNIES, looking bedraggled, enter and take a seat at

the counter. We recognize them from the crater. (Among them

is the Drunk Townie Jake, who is not presently drunk.)

ISABELA:

Morning, Pete. Jake.

TOWNIE PETE:

The usual, please, Izzy.

Isabela pours them a couple cups of coffee.

DRUNK TOWNIE JAKE

You missed all the excitement out

at the crater.

ISABELA:

What crater?

Jane and Selvig overhear this, exchange a look, turn to the

Townies with interest.

TOWNIE PETE:

They're saying some kind of

satellite crashed in the desert.

DRUNK TOWNIE JAKE

We were having a good time with it

till the Feds showed up, chased us

out.

JANE:

(to the Townies)

Excuse me, did you say there was a

satellite crash?

DRUNK TOWNIE JAKE

Yep. They said it was radioactive.

And I had my hands all over it.

(REALIZING)

I'm probably sterile now.

Thor, unconcerned, prepares to dig into the giant pile of

pancakes. Darcy is amazed by the sight.

DARCY:

Oh my God, this is going on

Facebook.

Darcy whips out her cellphone.

DARCY (CONT'D)

(TO THOR)

Smile!

4th BLUE REVISIONS 03-26-10 55A.

Thor looks puzzled as she SNAPS a photo of him and his

massive stack of food.

SELVIG:

(to the Townies)

What did the satellite look like?

DRUNK TOWNIE JAKE

I don't know nothing about

satellites. But it was heavy.

Real heavy. Nobody could lift it.

This gets Thor's attention.
