LOKI (CONT'D)

No... stop there! I know that

look!

THOR:

It's the only way to ensure the

safety of our borders.

LOKI:

It's madness!

VOLSTAGG:

Madness? What sort of madness?

LOKI:

Nothing! Thor was making a jest!

THOR:

The safety of our Realm is no jest.

We're going to Jotunheim.

4th BLUE REVISIONS 03-26-10 19.

FANDRAL:

What?!

SIF:

Thor, of all the laws of Asgard,

this is one you must not break.

Loki looks on, intrigued by the proceedings.

FANDRAL:

This isn't like a journey to Earth,

where you summon a little lightning

and thunder and the mortals worship

you as a god. This is Jotunheim.

VOLSTAGG:

And if the Frost Giants don't kill

you, your Father will!

THOR:

My father fought his way into

Jotunheim, defeated their armies,

and took their Casket! We'd just

be looking for answers.

SIF:

It is forbidden!

Thor sizes up his friends, smiles. He proceeds to make his

case with enthusiasm and charismatic conviction.

THOR:

My friends, have you forgotten all

that we've done together?

He turns to Fandral.

THOR (CONT'D)

Who brought you into the sweet

embrace of the most exotic maidens

in all of Yggdrasil?

FANDRAL:

You did.

THOR:

(TO HOGUN)

Who led you into the most glorious

of battles...

(TO VOLSTAGG)

...and to delicacies so succulent,

you thought you'd died and gone to

Valhalla?

4th BLUE REVISIONS 03-26-10 19A.

VOLSTAGG/HOGUN

You did. / You did.

He turns to Sif.

THOR:

And who proved wrong all who

scoffed at the idea that a young

maiden could be one of the fiercest

warriors this Realm has ever known?

SIF:

I did.

THOR:

(QUICKLY)

True. But I supported you...

(then, to the others)

My friends, trust me now. We must

do this.

The others exchange concerned looks, realize there's no

convincing him.

THOR (CONT'D)

Come on. You're not going to let

my brother and me take all the

glory, are you?

Loki looks startled.

LOKI:

What?

THOR:

You are coming with me...

LOKI:

Yes, of course! I won't let my

brother march into Jotunheim alone.

I will be at his side.

VOLSTAGG:

And I.

FANDRAL:

And I.

4th BLUE REVISIONS 03-26-10 20.

HOGUN:

And I. The Warriors Three fight

together.

SIF:

I fear we'll live to regret this.

VOLSTAGG:

If we're lucky.

27 EXT. ODIN'S PALACE - DAY 27

Thor, Sif, Loki, and the Warriors Three walk from the Palace,

across the grounds. They reach a group of ATTENDANTS who

ready their battle gear for their journey.

Loki slips away from the group, speaks to a nearby GUARD.

Hogun notices.

THOR:

We must first find a way to get

past Heimdall.

VOLSTAGG:

That will be no easy task. It's

said the Gatekeeper can see a

single dew drop fall from a blade

of grass a thousand worlds away.

FANDRAL:

And he can hear a cricket passing

gas in Niffelheim.

VOLSTAGG:

Jest not! He heareth all!

FANDRAL:

Please. Getting past him should be

simple enough now, since he seems

to be letting Frost Giants sneak by

under his nose.

Volstagg, terrified, calls out to the sky.

VOLSTAGG:

Forgive him! He meaneth no

offense!

Loki rejoins the group as Thor leads them onward.

28 EXT. GATE OF ASGARD - DAY 28

Thor and his band of adventurers, on horseback, pass through

the massive Gate, leaving Asgard behind. They ride along the

most astounding path in this Realm or any other --

THE RAINBOW BRIDGE.

4th BLUE REVISIONS 03-26-10 21.

Wide and flat, it runs straight out from Odin's palace to the

mists and black void of space beyond. In the distance far

ahead, the Bridge continues on until it reaches Heimdall's

Observatory.

29 EXT. HEIMDALL'S OBSERVATORY - DAY 29

The band draws near the Observatory, where HEIMDALL himself,

Gatekeeper of Asgard, stands at his post on the Bridge before

them, blocking their way, staring them down.

There is something other-worldly about him, even for this

Realm. He holds a massive sword in front of him, his stern,

intimidating face virtually concealed by armor. Something

glints beneath his visor, like twinkling stars.

LOKI:

Keep your weapons sheathed and your

mouths closed. This is going to

take subtlety and sincerity, not

brute strength. Leave it to me.

Loki dismounts and steps forward.

LOKI (CONT'D)

GOOD HEIMDALL--

HEIMDALL:

You're not dressed warmly enough.

Thor, Loki, and the others trade looks.
