I’m Gonna BURN This Place to The Ground

Loki :

I’m gonna burn this 

place to The Ground.

MOBIUS: 

I’ll show you where my 

desk is, you can start there.

Have a look —

Home sweet Home.

Loki :

……I Thought there 

was no magic here.

MOBIUS: 

There isn’t.

Loki :

That’s not real.

MOBIUS: 

It is, and, unfortunately, so is all the paperwork.

Good tinder for your fire, though. Come on.

Loki :

This place is a nightmare.

MOBIUS: 

That’s another department.

Now that department 

I’ll help you burn down.

(LOKI SIGHS)

MOBIUS: 

I’m Agent Mobius, by the way.

Loki :

Are you taking me somewhere to kill me?

MOBIUS: 

No. That’s where you just were. 

I’m taking you some place to talk.

Loki :

I don’t like to talk.

MOBIUS: 

But you do like to lie, which you just did.

Because we both know you love to talk.

Talkie-talkie.

Loki :

How long have you been here?

MOBIUS: 

(SIGHS) I don’t know. It’s hard to say, 

time passes differently here in the TVA.

Loki :

What does that mean?

MOBIUS: 

You’ll catch up.

Loki : 

So, you’re part of 

The TVA’s courageous and 

dedicated workforce?

MOBIUS: 

Yes.

Loki :

You were created by 

The Time-Keepers.

MOBIUS: 

Yep.

Loki :

To protect The Sacred Timeline.

MOBIUS: 

Correct.

Loki :

(LAUGHS)

MOBIUS: 

Is that funny?

Loki :

The idea that your little club 

decides the fate of trillions of 

people across all of existence at 

the behest of three space lizards, 

yes, it’s funny.

It’s absurd.

MOBIUS: 

I thought you didn’t 

like to Talk.

Loki :

(SCOFFS)

MOBIUS: 

(SIGHS)

After you.

Loki :

For The Record, this really does

feel like a Killing-Me 

kind of a room.

MOBIUS: 

Not big on Trust, are you?

Loki :

Trust is for children and dogs.

There’s only one person 

You can Trust.

MOBIUS: 

Yourself? I like it.

Slap it on a T-shirt.

Loki :

If the TVA truly oversees all 

of Time, how have I never 

heard of You until now?

MOBIUS: 

‘Cause you’ve never needed to.

You’ve always Lived 

within your set path.

Loki :

I Live within whatever 

path I choose.

MOBIUS: 

Sure you do. Okay, 

come have A Seat.

I told you, Time moves

differently in The TVA.

Come on, sit down.

Let’s get into this.

Go on, Have A Seat.

….If Looks could Kill.

Loki :

What Do You want from Me?

MOBIUS: 

(INHALES) Well, let’s start 

with a little cooperation.

Not my forte.

MOBIUS: 

Really?

Even when you’re wooing 

someone powerful you 

intend to betray?

Come on.

Loki :

You don’t know anything about Me.

MOBIUS: 

Maybe I’d Like to Learn.

I specialise in The Pursuit 

of Dangerous Variants.

Loki :

Like Myself?

MOBIUS: 

Mmm… No, particularly 

Dangerous Variants.

You’re just a 

little pussycat.

I got a Set of Questions for You.

You answer them Honestly, and 

then maybe I can give You 

something You want.

You wanna get 

out of Here, right?

Yeah, so We’ll start there.

Should you return, what 

are You gonna Do?

Loki :

Finish what I started.

MOBIUS: 

Which is?

Loki :

Claim My Throne.

MOBIUS: 

You wanna Be King?

Loki :

I don’t want to be, 

I was born to be.

MOBIUS: 

I know, but King 

of what exactly?

Loki :

(SCOFFS)

You wouldn’t 

understand.

MOBIUS: 

Try Me.

Loki :

Midgard.

MOBIUS: 

AKA Earth.

All right. Now You’re 

The King of Midgard, 

then what?

Happily ever after?

Loki :

Asgard, The Nine Realms.

MOBIUS: 

Space?

Loki :

Space?

MOBIUS: 

Space is big. 

That’d be a nice 

feather in Your Cap.

“Loki, The King

of Space.”

Loki :

Mock Me if You Dare.

MOBIUS: 

No, I’m not. (CHUCKLES)

Honestly, I’m actually 

A Fan. Yeah.

And I guess I’m wondering 

Why does someone with 

so much range 

just wanna rule?

Loki :

— I would’ve made 

it easy for Them?

MOBIUS: 

People like easy.

Loki :

The First and most oppressive 

Lie ever uttered was 

The Song of Freedom.

MOBIUS: 

How’s that one go?

Loki :

For nearly every Living Thing, 

Choice breeds shame and 

uncertainty and regret.

There’s A Fork in every road, 

yet the wrong path always taken.

MOBIUS: 

Good. Yeah.

You said “nearly every 

Living Thing,” so 

I’m guessing 

You don’t Fall into 

that category?

Loki :

(CHUCKLES) (SIGHS)

The Time-Keepers have 

built quite The Circus, 

and I see The Clowns 

are playing their parts 

to perfection.

MOBIUS: 

(CHUCKLES)

Big metaphor guy. I love it.

Makes you sound super-smart.

Loki :

I am smart.

MOBIUS: 

I know.

Okay.

MOBIUS: 

Okay.

(WHIRRING)

Loki :

(SCOFFS) What is this?

MOBIUS: 

A sampling of your

 greatest hits, if I may.

(SIGHS)

LOKI: (OVER VIDEO)

 If it’s all the same to You…

I’ll have that drink now.

No.

Loki :

And I remember. 

I was there. 

Anything else?

MOBIUS: 

It’s funny, for someone 

Born to Rule, 

You sure Do 

lose a lot.

You might even say it’s 

in Your Nature.

Loki :

— You know, things didn’t 

turn out so well for the last 

person who said that to me.

MOBIUS: 

Oh, yeah, Phil Coulson.

(GROANS)

THOR: 

No!

MOBIUS: 

Didn’t The Avengers 

Come Together 

to literally 

Avenge Him by 

Defeating You?

Loki :

Little solace to 

a Dead Man.

MOBIUS:

Do You enjoy 

Hurting people?

Making them feel small?

Making them feel afraid?

Loki :

Your Games don’t 

Frighten Me.

MOBIUS: 

Making Them feel little?

Loki :

I know What I Am.

MOBIUS: 

A Murderer?

Loki :

A Liberator.

MOBIUS: 

Of eyeballs, maybe.

(MAN SCREAMS)

MOBIUS: 

Look at That Smile. 

You are enjoying that

Did You enjoy Hurting them?

Loki :

I don’t have to Play 

this Game. I’m A God.

MOBIUS: 

Of what, again? 

Mischief, right?

Yeah. I don’t see anything 

very mischievous about this.

Loki :

— No, I don’t 

suppose you do.

MOBIUS: 

(MOBIUS SIGHS)

Let’s talk about your escapes.

You’re really good at 

Doing AWFUL Things, 

and then just 

•getting• away.

Loki :

What can I say, I’m 

a mischievous scamp.
