Avengers Infinity War Script

Iron Man: Okay, Quill, you gotta cool it right now, understand?

[Quill slowly turns to Thanos]

Iron Man: Don’t, don’t, don’t engage, we’ve almost got this off!

Star-Lord: Tell me she’s lying. [enraged] ASSHOLE!!! Tell me you didn’t do it!!!

Thanos: I… had… to.

Star-Lord: [while starting to tear up; quietly] No, you didn’t… No, you didn’t… [he continues to rage and then proceeds to pistol-whipping Thanos in the face] NO, YOU DIDN’T!!!

Drax: Quill!

[Quill uses his gun to pound Thanos in the face twice. Iron Man goes to hold him back, as Peter Parker is left to pull off the gauntlet]

Iron Man: [to the struggling Quill] Hey, stop! Hey, stop! Stop! Hey, stop! Stop!

Spider-Man: It’s coming! It’s coming! I got it! I got it…!!

[But Thanos wakes, butting Mantis from his shoulders, and grabbing the cuff of the gauntlet just as it is sliding off his hand, causing Parker to stumble back, and Mantis to go flying]

Spider-Man: [seeing Mantis flying] Oh, God! [he jumps and hugs her, extending his spider legs which give them a safe landing]

[Strange summons a weapon, and Thanos uses the Space Stone to throw him away. Then, Iron Man shoots at him, but Thanos bats him down, and uses the Space Stone to pull down the surface of a moon. Stark tries to fly away, but a large chunk pins him down]

Stonekeeper: Welcome, Thanos, son of Eros, Gamora, daughter of Thanos.

Thanos: You know us?

Stonekeeper: It is my curse to know all who journey here.

Thanos: Where is the Soul Stone?

Stonekeeper: You should know: it extracts a terrible price.

Thanos: I am prepared.

Stonekeeper: We all think that at first. [his face is revealed as the Red Skull] We are all wrong.

Thanos: How is it you know this place so well?

Red Skull: A lifetime ago, I too sought the stones. I even held one in my hand. But it cast me out, banished me here, guiding others to a treasure I cannot possess.

Gamora: I was a child when you took me.

Thanos: I saved you.

Gamora: No, no, we were happy on my home planet.

Thanos: Going to bed hungry, scrounging for scraps? Your planet was on the brink of collapse. I was the one who stopped that. You know what’s happened since then? The children born have known nothing but full bellies and clear skies. It’s a paradise.

Gamora: Because you murdered half the planet!

Thanos: A small price to pay for salvation.

Gamora: You’re INSANE.

Thanos: Little one, it’s a simple calculus. This universe is finite, its resources … finite. If life is left unchecked, life will cease to exist. It needs correcting.

Gamora: YOU DON’T KNOW THAT!

Thanos: I’m the only one who knows that. At least, I’m the only who the will to act on it.

Rocket: You speak Groot?!

Thor: Yes, they taught it on Asgard. It was an elective.

Groot: I am Groot?

Thor: You’ll know when we’re close. Nidavellir’s forge harnesses the blazing power of a Neutron Star. It’s the birthplace of my hammer; it’s truly awesome.

Rocket: [to himself] Okay, time to be the Captain. [to Thor] So, dead brother, huh? That can be annoying.

Thor: Well, he’s been dead before. But this time… I think it really might be true.

Rocket: And you said that your sister and your dad…

Thor: Both dead.

Rocket: But, still got a mom, though?

Thor: Killed by a Dark Elf.

Rocket: Best friend?

Thor: Stabbed through the heart.

Rocket: You sure you’re up for this particular murder mission?

Thor: Absolutely. The rage, vengeance, anger, loss, regret, they’re all tremendous motivators. They truly clear the mind… so, I’m good to go.

Rocket: Yeah, but this is Thanos we’re talking about, he’s the toughest there is.

Thor: Well, he’s never fought me.

Rocket: … Yeah, he has!

Thor: Well, he’s never fought me twice. And I’ll have a new hammer, don’t forget.

Rocket: Well, it’d better be some hammer.

Thor: You know, I’m one thousand and five hundred years old. I’ve killed twice as many enemies as that, and every one of them would have rather killed me, but none succeeded. I’m only alive because Fate wants me alive. Thanos is just the latest in a long line of bastards, and he’ll be the latest to feel my vengeance. Fate wills it so.

Rocket: And what if you’re wrong?

Thor: Well, if I’m wrong, then… what more could I lose?

Gamora: All my life I dreamed of a day, a moment, when you got what you deserved. And I was always so disappointed. But now, you kill and torture and you call it mercy. The universe has judged you. You asked it for a prize and it told you no. You failed. And do you wanna know why? Because you love nothing. No one.

Thanos: [sheds a tear] No.

Gamora: Really? Tears?

Red Skull: They are not for him.

[Gamora realizes what Thanos is going to do]

Gamora: No. This isn’t love.

Thanos: I ignored my destiny once. I cannot do that again. Even for you.

[Gamora anguishly takes the double-edged knife Thanos had given her, then tries to kill herself. But Thanos uses the Reality Stone, turning the knife into bubbles]

Thanos: [anguished] I’m sorry, Gamora.

Gamora: [muted] NO!

Banner: Who’s Scott?

Steve Rogers: Ant-Man.

Banner: There’s an Ant-Man and a Spider-Man?!

Stark: [to the Guardians] We gotta work together. Because if all we come out with is a plucky attitude…

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

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

Stark: What dance-off?

Quill: It’s not a thing.

Parker: Like in Footloose? The movie?

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

Parker: It never was.

Stark: Don’t encourage this alright we’re not getting any help from Flash Gordan.

Quill: Flash Gordon? That’s a compliment. Don’t forget, I’m half human. So that 50% of me that’s stupid, that’s 100% you.

[Thanos emerges from a teleport on the ruined Titan]

Strange: Oh, yeah. You’re much more of a “Thanos”.

Thanos: I take it that Maw is dead? This day extracts a heavy toll. Still, he accomplished his mission.

Strange: You may regret that. He brought you face-to-face with the Master of the Mystic Arts.

Thanos: Where do you think he brought you?

Strange: Let me guess. Your home.

Thanos: It was. [activates the Reality Stone, showing a holographic image of a populated Titan] And it was beautiful. Titan was like most planets; too many mouths, not enough to go around. And when we faced extinction, I offered a solution.

Strange: Genocide?

Thanos: At random. Dispassionate, fair; To rich and poor alike. They called me a madman… and what I predicted came to pass.

Strange: Congratulations, you’re a prophet.

Thanos: I’m a survivor.

Strange: Who wants to murder trillions.

Thanos: With all six stones, I could simply snap my fingers; They would all cease to exist. I call that… mercy.

Strange: Then what?

Thanos: I finally rest and watch the Sun rise on a grateful universe. The hardest choices require the strongest wills.

Strange: [he summons his Mandalas, entering a fighting pose] I think you’ll find our wills equal to yours.

Thanos: Ours?

[Stark crushes Thanos with a pillar of wreckage]

Stark: Piece of cake, Quill.

Quill: Yeah, if your goal is to piss him off!

Tony Stark: So this is it. It’s all been leading to this.

Thor: Ready?

Steve Rogers: Let’s go.

Gamora: He won’t stop. Until he destroys half the universe. Everything you know… Everything you love… It will all be gone.

Peter Quill: Let’s talk about this plan of yours. I think it’s good, except it sucks. So let me do the plan and that way it might be really good. Tony Stark: Wow.

Thanos: The end is near. When I’m done, half of humanity will still exist. Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.

Black Panther: Thank you for standing with us, M’Baku. M’baku: Of course, brother.

Black Panther: How much longer, Shuri?

Bruce Banner: [trying to change into the Hulk] Hulk. Hulk, I know you like making your entrance at the last second, well, this is it, man. This is the last, last second. Hulk! Hulk! Hulk! [Hulk: NOOOO!] Oh, screw you, you big green asshole! I’ll do it myself!

[Thanos has just got the Infinity Stones; Thor suddenly hurls Stormbreaker, which goes right into Thanos’ chest]

Thor: I told you. You’d die for that!

[He takes hold of the back of Thanos’s head and forces Stormbreaker deeper into his chest, staring angrily into his eyes while Thanos cries out in pain]

Thanos: You should’ve… You…. You should’ve gone for the head!!

[He raises his gauntlet and snaps his fingers]

Thor: NO!

[Thanos is now briefly inside the Soul Stone, where he sees a young Gamora on the home world of the Zen-Whoberi]

Thanos: Daughter?

Gamora: Did you do it?

Thanos: Yes.

Gamora: [beat] What did it cost?

Thanos: [solemly] … Everything.

[Now out of the Soul Stone, Thanos notices the damages inflicted on the scorched Gauntlet]

Thor: What did you do? [angrily] WHAT DID YOU DO?!

[Thanos mockingly smirks at Thor before he uses the Space Stone and teleports away, leaving Stormbreaker left on the Wakandian field]

Captain America: Where’d he go? Thor… where’d he go?

Bucky Barnes: [feeling his prosthetic arm turning into ash] Steve?

[Bucky suddenly stumbles over, and collapses into ashes, much to Steve’s shock; Thor watches Steve mourning Bucky’s death. On the battlefield, Wakankan soldiers disintegrate to ashes, much to M’Baku’s horror]

T’Challa: [while reaching for a fallen Okoye] Up, General. Up! This is no place to die. [he suddenly disintegrates into ashes and Okoye falls back on the ground, much to her anguish]

Okoye: Hezvo…?!

Groot: [resting on a tree branch; slowly disintegrating, to Rocket] I am Groot… [Translation: “Dad?”]

Rocket: [as Groot starts slowly to corrode into ashes, much to Rocket’s horror] No…. No. No. No. No! Groot… no.

[Scarlet Witch is mourning over Vision. She then turns into ashes. An injured Falcon turns to ashes, hidden in the brush]

War Machine: [searching for Falcon, missing him by only a few feet] Sam? Sam!? Where you at?!

[Back on Titan, the remaining members of the Guardians and Avengers help themselves up from their battle against Thanos they had lost]

Mantis: Something… is… happening. [she gets killed into ashes]

Drax: [to Quill; his right arm and lower-half of his body slowly turns to ashes] Quill…?

[Drax gets disintegrated next as Quill stares in horror]

Tony Stark: Steady, Quill.

Quill: Aw, man.

[Quill also gets disintegrated into ashes]

Strange: [calmly turns to Stark] Tony, there was no other way. [he finally gets erased]

Parker: [feels himself starting to disintegrate and doesn’t want to die] Mister Stark? I don’t feel so good…

Tony Stark: [trying to be calm] You’re all right.

Parker: [stumbling] I don’t know what’s – I don’t know what’s happening. I don’t – [Parker falls into Stark’s arms, clutching him tight and crying] Save me, save me! I don’t wanna go, I don’t wanna go, Mister Stark, please. Please, I don’t wanna go. I don’t wanna go… I’m sorry.

[Parker disintegrates into ashes in Stark’s arms]

Nebula: [to Tony Stark, seeing Thanos’ victory] He did it.

[Stark mourns silently at his failure it caused. Back on Wakanda, the remaining team members, Captain America, Thor, War Machine, Black Widow, Bruce Banner, and Rocket are left mourning near Vision’s dead body]

War Machine: What is this? What the hell is happening?

Captain America: …. Oh, God.

[Meanwhile, on a different planet, Thanos sits down and watches the Sun rising]

[Last lines]

Nick Fury: Still no word from Stark?

Maria Hill: No, not yet. We’re watching every satellite in both hemispheres, there’s still nothing. [receives three beeps from her device]

Fury: What is it?

Hill: Multiple bogeys over Wakanda.

Fury: Same energy signatures as New York?

Hill: Ten times bigger.

Fury: Call Klein. We’ll meet him at –

Hill: NICK!

[Suddenly, a car spirals out of control into them. Hill goes over to check on the driver of the car, but sees no one is in there]

Fury: They okay?

Hill: There’s no one here.

[Suddenly, a helicopter, with ash flying out, crashes into a building. The two are now witnessing civilians around them suddenly disintegrating]

Fury: Call control. Code Red!

Hill: [alerting Fury] Nick…?

[Fury turns around to see Hill disintegrating]

Fury: Hill?

[Fury then races back to their car and gets a pager out. He sends out an emergency alert, mere seconds before his hand turns into ashes]
