"Time and again, we have been kept from our rightful place by these so-caHed Avengers because we are unable to put aside petty differences." "If you want your fates to change, if you want the world to tremble before you, stand at my side." "Join my cabal." "And we will destroy the Avengers, together!" "The Skull almost took us out by teaming with M.O.D.O.K., which means he's gonna try again, but with bigger and badder allies." "Your robo-butler tell you this?" "No, the Skull did." "S.H.l.E.L.D. intercepted one of these love letters and passed along the message." "The Skull's building a cabal of equals to do what he can't do alone." "Just like you guys..." "Us guys." "Only, you know, evil." "Hmm." "Thanks for clarifying, Sam." "Point is, if the who's who of bad guys R.S.V.P. to the Skull's revenge party, the world will be facing threats of a whole new magnitude." "Threats that only we can face, the Avengers." "And your way to keep us together is a super-hero sleep-over boot camp?" "In the army we worked together, trained together, lived together." "Right, only this isn't the army." "This is our new home, courtesy of Stark Industries!" "Tony, I was thinking something more Spartan, bare essentials." "Beats my quarters at S.H.l.E.L.D., which I lost when I got fired, by the way." "I have all of Asgard as my home, you would confine me to this shack?" "Well, I'm going to the ladies' room." "Wait, there is no ladies' room." "Problem." "Guys, big picture." "If you believe that a small group of us working together can make a difference..." "We just proved that saving New York." "The real question is, if we follow, will you lead?" "You have my word, no backsies this time." "(RUMBLING)" "I'm in." "Oh, by the way, something's wrong with your fridge." "At least S.H.l.E.L.D. has indestructible doors." "Right, Widow?" "The disappearing Black Widow, everyone." "Here, then not." "This is gonna be a disaster." "(ALARM BLARING)" "JARVIS:" "Gentlemen, the Great Wall of China just stood up and is smashing towards Beijing." "Interested?" "Avengers, assemble!" "(ROARS)" "Jarvis, engage Aven-Jet Prime." "What's an "Aven-Jet Prime"?" "You're standing in it." "This is the best day of my life." "Whoo!" "Show off." "What?" "Your house doesn't do this?"
