Line 11:
** From the same scene, Tony's reaction to Pepper being on a [[First-Name Basis]] with Coulson.
{{quote|'''Tony''': ''Phil?!'' His first name is "[[No Name Given|Agent]]".}}
* Natasha tells Banner "it's only you and me" while convincing him to help SHIELD ''as'' Dr. Banner, ''not'' the Hulk. Then he scares her, she promptly grabs her gun... "I'm sorry, that was mean. [[Troll|I just wanted to see what you'd do.]]" But she keeps holding the gun, while telling [[Just You and Me
{{quote|'''Banner''': Just you and me, huh?}}
* Agent Coulson and Steve Rogers. Coulson is a [[Fan Boy]], Steve finds him a bit creepy.
Line 31:
[[Beat]].
'''Loki''': [[Deadpan Snarker|I'm listening.]] }}
** Adding even more to the humor of the moment, Loki then [[Pass the Popcorn|casually settles down on his rock like he's a member of the audience to watch the show]].
* Before that, Thor asks an obvious question. Loki's "um, ''duh''" expression is priceless.
{{quote|'''Thor''': You think yourself above them?
'''Loki''': [[Deadpan Snarker|Well, yes.]] }}
* During a briefing:
{{quote|'''Thor''': Loki may be beyond reason, [[Thicker Than Water|but he is of Asgard and he is my brother]].
'''Black Widow''': [[Ax Crazy|He killed eighty people in two days]].
'''Thor''': ...he's adopted. }}
** The comment from Banner that led to the above exchange.
Line 43:
* This delightful ''[[The Wizard of Oz (film)|The Wizard of Oz]]'' reference during the first group debriefing:
{{quote|'''Fury:''' I'd like to know what Loki did to turn two of the sharpest men I know into his personal flying monkeys!!
'''Thor''': [[Fish Out of Water|Monkeys? I do not understand--]]
'''Cap''': [[Fish Out of Temporal Water|I do!]] ...I understood that reference.<ref>In case anyone still doesn't get it, ''[[The Wizard of Oz (film)|The Wizard of Oz]]'' came out in 1939. Cap was frozen in
** It's hilarious just how ''happy'' Cap looks that after an interminable amount of incomprehensible-to-him technobabble and impenetrable pop culture references, somebody ''finally'' said something he actually understood. You wonder if Fury didn't deliberately throw the poor guy a bone.
* Agent Coulson even gets a Funny Moment {{spoiler|while dying}} via his BFG.
{{quote|'''Coulson''': ...[[Brick Joke|So that's what it does.]]}}
Line 54 ⟶ 55:
{{quote|'''Steve:''' Hulk?
(''The Hulk looks over at him.'')
'''Steve:''' [[Phrase Catcher|Smash.]]
(''Hulk grins and launches himself at the Chitauri.'') }}
* Loki telling off ''the Hulk'' [[Bullying a Dragon|as if he were scolding a naughty child]]. What does the Hulk do? What he does best. [[Metronomic Man-Mashing|Smash.]] Also counts as a [[Moment of Awesome]].
{{quote|'''Loki:''' ENOUGH! You are all beneath me! [[A God Am I|I am a]] ''[[A God Am I|god]]'', you dull creature! [[Bullying a Dragon|And I will]] ''[[Bullying a Dragon|not]]'' [[Bullying a Dragon|be bullied by-]]
(The Hulk [[Shut UP, Hannibal|grabs Loki by his legs]], [[Curb Stomp Battle|twirls him like a lariat]], then begins [[Metronomic Man-Mashing|bashing him against the floor.]] A few smacks reduce the marble floor to gravel and [[No-Holds-Barred Beatdown|Loki is a horrid, broken senseless mess]]. Hulk takes a close split-second look at him, then [[There Is No Kill Like Overkill|smashes him into the floor]] two more times [[Double Tap|just to be sure.]] )
'''Hulk:''' [[Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu?|Puny god...]]
(The tone of Hulk's voice can only be considered ''disappointment'' - he had issues to work out, and it was [[Curb Stomp Battle|over so quickly]]. All Loki can do is lie there in his own crater with a bug-eyed and stupefied ''"What the hell just happened?"'' look on his face.) }}
** He seemed to know that pissing off the Hulk was a bad idea; the fact that his army was losing and he was alone in a room being chased by said Hulk meant he was desperate, and insulting Hulk was probably part intimidation part last-ditch attempt to preserve his fragile ego. Which makes it both funny and [[Laser-Guided Karma|karmic]] at the same time.
Line 75 ⟶ 76:
''He looks confused as he hands the phone to his boss.''
'''Russian official''': ''[Spouts angry Russian]''-
'''Coulson''': You are at 114 Salinski Plaza, 3rd floor. We have an F-22 exactly 8 miles out. Put the woman on the phone or [[There Is No Kill Like Overkill|I will blow up the block before you can make the lobby.]]
''Russian official shakily holds phone to Natasha's ear.''
'''Coulson''': We need you to come in.
'''Natasha''': Are you kidding? I'm working.
'''Coulson''': This takes precedence.
'''Natasha''': I'm in the middle of an interrogation, this moron is giving me everything.
''Cut to bewildered Russian official.''
'''Russian Official''': I don't... [[Oh Crap|give her everything]]...? ''(He looks at Widow, and she does a little 'Yeah, you have' nod.)''
'''Coulson''': [[It's Personal|Barton's been compromised]].
([[Beat]])
'''Natasha''' ''(who, it must be noted, [[With My Hands Tied|is still bound hand and foot to a reasonably sturdy chair at this point]])'': ...Let me put you on hold. ''(Cue her going into [[Action Girl]] mode and beating the hell out of the three guys while [[Seen It All|Coulson waits patiently, listening calmly to the sounds of violence as though it's hold music.]] Then collecting her heels as she saunters off.)'' }}
** What sells it is the switch in her tone. How she was really playing up the part of a panicked captive, then Coulson calls and it pretty much like breaking character while shooting a scene. The Russians' bewildered expressions while wondering what the heck is going on is the icing on the cake.
** Which is followed by her swearing in Russian when Coulson tells her that she has to recruit Bruce Banner.
* Captain America orders some police around to set up a perimeter and ensure the safety of the civilians. While the cop in charge asks why he should follow him, Chitauri arrive and Cap just beats all of them to the ground. [[Asskicking Equals Authority|The cop then proceeds to relay the Captain's orders, word for word.]]
Line 101 ⟶ 102:
'''Bruce''': [[Wham! Line|That's my secret, Captain]]. [[Tranquil Fury|I'm always angry.]] }}
* Some [[Casual Danger Dialog]]:
{{quote|'''[[Black Widow (comics)|Black Widow]]''': [fighting off Chitauri soldiers at range alongside [[Hawkeye]]] It's just like [[Noodle Incident|Budapest]] all over again!
'''[[Hawkeye]]''': You and I remember Budapest ''very'' differently. }}
* Cap and Natasha are discussing the fastest way to get the top of the tower. Natasha just looks resigned as she sighs, "This will be fun," once they work out that that she has to bounce off Cap's shield in order hijack one of the Chitauri flyers.
Line 120 ⟶ 121:
'''Cap''': Then prove it. Put that hammer down.
'''Iron Man''': Uh, yeah, no, bad call! He loves his hamm-AAH!
''(Thor [[Foe-Tossing Charge|smacks Iron Man aside as he charges]] at Cap.)''
'''Thor''': '''''[[Chewing the Scenery|YOU WANT ME TO PUT THE HAMMER DOWN?!?]]'''''
''Thor '''[[Exact Words|puts]]''' the hammer '''[[Drop the Hammer|down]]''' - right on Cap's [[Made of Indestructium|Mighty Shield]].''
'''''[[Kung Fu Sonic Boom|BOOM.]]'''''
''([[Beat]]).''
''(Everyone gets up and looks around, bewildered at the collateral damage.)''
'''Cap''': [[Are You Done Yet?|Are we done here?]] }}
* Just loving the fact that after shooting down one plane, Fury turns to see the second one taking off. No longer armed with a rocket launcher, he pulls out his sidearm and momentarily levels it at the retreating jet.
Line 141 ⟶ 142:
* Tony's attempt to blow off Agent Coulson:
{{quote|'''Coulson''': Mr. Stark, we need to talk.
'''Tony''': You've reached the [[Mythology Gag|life-model decoy]] of Tony Stark. Please leave a message.
'''Coulson''': This is urgent!
'''Tony''': Then leave it urgently.
(''The elevator opens, revealing Coulson''.)
'''Tony''': (''points at Pepper'') [[Brick Joke|Security breach! Your fault.]] }}
* Being playful with Bruce Banner:
{{quote|'''Tony''': You know, you should come by Stark Tower sometime, top 10 floors, all R&D. You'd love it, it's Candyland.
'''Bruce''': Thanks but, [[The Incredible Hulk (film)|the last time I was in New York]], I... kind of broke... [[Person of Mass Destruction|Harlem]].
'''Tony''': I promise a totally stress-free work environment, no surprises... (''[[Bullying a Dragon|shocks him]]'')
'''Bruce''': Ow!
'''Steve''': Hey! Are you nuts?
'''Tony''': Jury's out. (''to Bruce'') Nothing? You've really got a lid on it, huh? What's your secret? Relaxing jazz, bongo drums, huge bag of weed?
'''Steve''': Is everything a joke to you?
'''Tony''': Funny things are. }}
** The funniest bit about that is after he shocks him, Tony quickly looks intently at Bruce's eyes to see if there's any hint of the Hulk.
* Tony [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshading]] Thor's Shakespearean garb:
{{quote|'''Thor:''' [[You Have No Idea Who You're Dealing With|You have no idea what you're dealing with]].
'''Tony:''' Uh, Shakespeare in the park? "Doth mother know [[Superheroes Wear Capes|thou weareth her drapes]]?" }}
** Then after Thor shoots Iron Man with a lightning bolt.
{{quote|'''Jarvis''': [[Attack Backfire|Power at 400% capacity.]]
'''Tony''': [[Million-to-One Chance|How 'bout that?]] }}
* When Stark and Banner find out that they're both huge techno-geeks and rattle off a string of [[Techno Babble]] to each other:
Line 168 ⟶ 169:
'''Tony''': Finally someone else who speaks English.
'''Steve''': (mumbling to himself) Was that what just happened?
'''Tony''': It's good to meet you Dr. Banner. Your work on anti-electron collisions is unparalleled. (''[[Beat]]'') [[The Last of These Is Not Like the Others|And I'm a huge fan of the way you lose control and turn into an enormous green rage monster]].
'''Bruce''': (''chagrined'') ...Thanks. }}
* Tony's first interaction with Steve.
Line 176 ⟶ 177:
* Tony forgets to factor in Steve's man-out-of-time issues while trying to fix the Helicarrier's busted engine, resulting in some sarcasm from Cap:
{{quote|'''Tony''': (''from inside rotor'') Okay, tell me what you see!
'''Steve''': (''staring at a bewilderingly high-tech panel'') [[Sarcasm Mode|It seems to run on some form of electricity]].
'''Tony''': Well, you're not wrong... }}
* Just before the climactic battle, Cap and Tony still {{spoiler|grieving over Coulson's death}} discuss Loki's next move:
{{quote|'''Tony:''' That's the point. That's Loki's point. He hit all of us right at where we live. Why?
'''Cap:''' [[We ARE Struggling Together!|To tear us apart]].
'''Tony:''' Yeah, divide and conquer's... great... but, he knows he has to take us out for him to win, right? [[Glory Seeker|That's what he wants! He has to beat us, he has to be seen doing it.]] He needs an audience.
'''Cap:''' Right. [[Putting on the Reich|We caught his act in Stuttgart.]]
'''Tony:''' Yeah. That's just preview. This is opening night! And, Loki, he's a full-tilt diva, [[It's All About Me|he wants flowers, he wants parades]], [[Not So Different|he wants a monument built to the sky with his name plastered]] -
''([[Beat]] with Cap [[Fascinating Eyebrow|looking incredulously]] at [[Hypocritical Humor|Tony's choice of adjectives for Loki]].)''
'''Tony:''' [[Explain, Explain, Oh Crap|Sonofabitch.]] ({{spoiler|He realizes Loki will use his own Stark Tower for summoning the Chitauri.}}) }}
* Tony and Loki, threatening each other.
Line 194 ⟶ 195:
'''Natasha''': I-I don't see how that's a party. }}
* The defeat of the third Leviathan also warrants a mention:
{{quote|'''Tony:''' You ever heard of [[Eat Me|Jonah]]?
'''Jarvis:''' I wouldn't consider him a role model. }}
* Iron Man's idea of a post-victory celebration. {{spoiler|And they actually do it, in the ''other'' [[The Stinger|stinger,]] as everyone is exhausted from the battle, and are nodding to sleep as they try and eat their shawarma. [http://www.themovies.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/avengerendcred522012.jpg It was shown only in US releases].}}
{{quote|'''Captain America''': We won.
'''Iron Man''': [''recovering from [[Heroic RROD|RROD]]''] Alright, hey! Hooray! Good job, guys. Let's just not come in tomorrow. Let's just... take a day. Have y'ever tried shawarma? There's a shawarma joint about two blocks from here. I dunno what it is, but I wanna try it.
'''Thor''': We're not finished yet.
'''Iron Man''': ...and then shawarma after? }}
** There's almost no way anyone would notice it on the first viewing, but Tony actually bounces past a shawarma joint when he crash-lands after {{spoiler|diving through a Levithan}}. It's a blink-and-you-miss-it sort of thing, and is kind of amusing if you consider what it says about Tony. {{spoiler|"Well, that was stupid, but at least it worked... huh, shawarma. What's shawarma? I am kind of hungry. I should try that."}}
Line 219 ⟶ 220:
** Even more funny is Black Widow's nodding in agreement.
* The part where Tony reactivates the turbine, but Cap is too busy with the enemy to pull the emergency lever. This results in the former being trapped in the reactivated turbine.
** Made even better by the pinball-esque sound effects that accompany his bouncing around under the turbine.
* When Cap and Tony are arguing, Cap twice demands that Tony put on the suit so that they can go a few rounds. Then {{spoiler|a brainwashed Hawkeye hits a turbine on the S.H.I.E.L.D carrier, exploding the room the group are in and dropping them to different sections of the ship}}.
{{quote|'''Cap''': (''urgent, non threatening tone'') Put on the suit.
'''Tony''': Yep. }}
