Go To

Harold Gorton: Hey, it's great to have a new neighbor. Woman lived here before you was nuts. Biggest bitch under the sun. Just a senile old hag really. Wouldn't be surprised if someone just got fed up and offed her, know what I mean?
Roger Cobb: She was my aunt.
Harold: Heart of gold, though. Just, uh, a saint really. And, uh, such a beautiful woman, for her age.

Thor: Have a care how you speak! Loki is beyond reason, but he is of Asgard and he is my brother!
Black Widow: He killed eighty people in two days.
Thor: He's adopted.

Dr. Erik Selvig: Your brother isn't coming, is he?
Thor: Loki is dead.
Selvig: Thank God... I'm so sorry.

Black Widow: Thor, report on the Hulk.
Thor: The gates of Hel are filled with the screams of his victims!
Bruce Banner: *groans in despair*
Thor: But not the screams of the dead, of course! No, no... wounded screams... mainly whimpering, a great deal of complaining and tales of sprained deltoids and... gout.

Richter: I want that fucker dead!
Helm: I don't blame you, man. I wouldn't want a guy like Quaid porkin' my old lady.
Richter: You saying she liked it?
Helm: Uh... no... I'm sure she hated every minute of it.
