World Security Council: This is out of line, Director. You're dealing with forces you can't control. Nick Fury: You ever been in a war, Councilman? In a firefight? Did you feel an over-abundance of control? World Security Council: You're saying that this Asgard has declared war on our planet? Nick Fury: Not Asgard, Loki! World Security Council: He can't be working alone. What about the other one, his brother? Nick Fury: Our intelligence says, Thor is not a hostile. But he's worlds away, we can't depend on him to help either. It's up to us. World Security Council: Which is why you should be focusing on Phase 2, it was designed for exactly... Nick Fury: Phase 2 isn't ready, our enemy is. We need a response team.

ROMANOFF : Stand down. We're good here. BANNER : "Just you and me." COUNCILMAN : This is out of line, Director. You're dealing with forces you can't control. You ever been in a war, Councilman? In a firefight? Did you feel an overabundance of control? You're saying that this Asgard is declaring war on our planet? Not Asgard. Loki. He can't be working alone. What about the other one? His brother. Our intelligence says Thor is not a hostile but he's worlds away. We can't depend on him to help, either. It's up to us. Which is why you should be focusing on Phase 2. It was designed for exactly this... Phase 2 isn't ready. Our enemy is. We need a response team. The Avengers Initiative was shut down. FURY : This isn't about the Avengers. We've seen the list. You're running the world's greatest covert security network and you're going to leave the fate of the human race to a handful of freaks. FURY : I'm not leaving anything to anyone. We need a response team. These people may be isolated, unbalanced even but I believe with the right push they can be exactly what we need. You believe? War isn't won by sentiment, Director. No, it's won by soldiers. (GRUNTING) ROGERS : There's not enough time. I got to put her in the water! PEGGY : You won't be alone. DOCTOR : Oh, my God. This guy is still alive!
