Higher. Further. Faster.taglines

Carol Danvers / Vers / Captain Marvel

I keep having these memories. I see flashes. I think I had a life here, but I can't tell if it's real.
Higher, further, faster, baby.

Supreme Intelligence

You are just one victim of the Skrull expansion that has threatened our civilization for centuries. Impostors who silently infiltrate, then take over our planets. Horrors that you remember, and so much that you do not.
Without us, you're only human.

Dr. Wendy Lawson / Mar-Vell

I spent half my life fighting a shameful war. Now get out of here before you give me any more regrets. Just remember the coordinates, okay? You got to save them without me.

Dialogue

[Fury is looking over the autopsy of a Skrull who'd been impersonating Coulson, accompanied by Talos, who is impersonating Fury's boss]

"Keller": You're saying this thing looked like Coulson?

Nick Fury: Mmm... Talked like him, too.

"Keller": And the woman said that there were...more?

Nick Fury: The word she used was "infiltration".

"Keller": Do you believe her?

Nick Fury: [Referring to the dead Skrull on the coroner's table] Not until I saw this.

"Keller": What's your plan?

Nick Fury: I'll find Blockbuster girl. I got word on a motorcycle thief that fits her description. If she can tell us why those lizards are here, maybe she can tell us how to kick 'em to the curb.

"Keller": Good. Do it alone, though. We can't trust anyone, not even our own men.

Nick Fury: Yes, sir. [Fury leaves]

"Keller": Wow. They are ugly bastards, aren't they?

Coroner: Yeah, well, he's no Brad Pitt, sir. ["Keller" leans down next to the Skrull's head]

Talos: [With his native accent] Safe journey to the beyond, my friend. I will finish what we started. [Talos caresses his colleague's head]

Coroner: I wouldn't get too close there, boss.

Talos: [Switches to his fake American accent] No one in or out.

[Carol is testing Fury to see if he's a Skrull]

Carol Danvers: This is gonna get a little awkward, but I gotta ask...

Nick Fury: You think I'm one of those green things.

Carol Danvers: Can't be too careful.

Nick Fury: You are looking at 100% red-blooded Earthman.

Carol Danvers: I'm afraid I'm gonna need proof.

Nick Fury: We talking cheek swab or urine sample?

Carol Danvers: No, the DNA would match.

Nick Fury: Want my AOL password?

Carol Danvers: Skrulls can only sim recent memories of their hosts' bodies.

Nick Fury: ...You wanna get personal.

Carol Danvers: Where were you born?

Nick Fury: Huntsville, Alabama. But technically, I don't remember that part.

Carol Danvers: Name of your first pet?

Nick Fury: Mr. Snoofers.

Carol Danvers: Mr. Snoofers?

Nick Fury: That's what I said. Do I pass?

Carol Danvers: Not yet. First job?

Nick Fury: Soldier. Straight outta high school. Left the ranks a full-bird colonel.

Carol Danvers: Then?

Nick Fury: Spy.

Carol Danvers: Where?

Nick Fury: It's the Cold War, we were everywhere. Belfast, Bucharest, Belgrade, Budapest... I like the B's. I can make 'em rhyme.

Carol Danvers: Now?

Nick Fury: Been riding a desk for the past six years trying to figure out where our future enemies are coming from. Never occurred to me they would be coming from above.

Carol Danvers: [Thinks for a moment] Name a detail so bizarre, a Skrull could never fabricate it.

Nick Fury: If toast is cut diagonally, I can't eat it. [Long pause; Carol smirks] ...You didn't need that, did you?

Carol Danvers: No. No, I didn't. But I enjoyed it.

Carol Danvers: [Referring to the front of the baseball cap that Fury has given her] What is this?

Nick Fury: It's a S.H.I.E.L.D. logo.

Carol Danvers: Does announcing your identity with branded clothing, help with the covert part of the job?

Nick Fury: ...said the space soldier who's wearing a rubber suit. Lose the flannel.

Talos: I'm sorry I simmed your boss. But now I stand before you as my true self. Without deception.

Carol Danvers: And who's that out there? [Referring to the Skrull impersonating Maria, who had taken Monica outside]

Talos: Okay. That's a fair point. But I'm sure that you understand, I had to take some precautions. I saw you crush twenty of my best men with your hands bound. I just want to talk.

Carol Danvers: The last time we talked, I ended up hanging from my ankles.

Talos: That was before I knew who you were. Before I knew what made you different from the others. I have an audio recording from Pegasus, of your voice, from a plane crash six years ago. On a device I believe you call a "black box".

Maria Rambeau: They told me it was destroyed in the crash. How'd you get it?

Talos: Does she not understand? Young lady, I have a special skill that kinda... allows me to get into places I'm not supposed to be in.

Maria Rambeau: Call me "young lady" again, and I'm gonna put my foot in a place it's not supposed to be.

Talos: ...Am I supposed to guess where that is?

Carol Danvers and Nick Fury: [At the same time] Your ass!

Supreme Intelligence: You did good, ace. Thanks to you, those insidious shapeshifters will threaten our borders no more.

Carol Danvers: I used to believe your lies. But the Skrulls are just fighting for a home. You're talking about destroying them because they won't submit to your rule. And neither will I.

Supreme Intelligence: We found you. We embraced you as our own.

Carol Danvers: You stole me! From my home... My family, my friends...

Supreme Intelligence: It's cute how hard you try. Remember: without us...

[Carol flashes back to her childhood; her failed pursuits and the lack of encouragement from her father]

Carol's Father: Give it up, Carol!

Supreme Intelligence: ...You're weak. You're flawed. Helpless. We saved you. Without us... you're only human.

Carol Danvers: [Realizes] You're right. I'm only human. [And she remembers that every time she fell...she got right back up again]

Supreme Intelligence: On Hala, you were reborn. Vers.

Carol Danvers: My name... is Carol.

Kree Technician: She's trying to break out!

Carol Danvers: I've been fighting with one arm tied behind my back. But what happens... [rips out the implant suppressing her powers] ...when I'm finally set free? [releases a large burst of energy that brings down the Supreme Intelligence's simulation around her]

Captain Marvel: Take the Tesseract, leave the lunchbox.

Nick Fury: Me?

Captain Marvel: Yes.

Nick Fury: I'm not touching that thing!

Captain Marvel: You want me to get you an oven mitt?

[A swarm of tentacles suddenly emerge from Goose's mouth, snatching up the Tesseract and devouring it, much to the shock and confusion of Fury, Marvel and Maria. Fury drops Goose in shock, now confirming why Talos was so unnerved around the supposed cat in the first place.]

Captain Marvel: Get the Skrulls in the quadjet and go! Take the Flerken with you!

Nick Fury: What about you?

Captain Marvel: I'll buy you some time.

Nick Fury: [Picks up Goose, very nervously] I'm picking you up now. I'm trusting you not to eat me.

Yon-Rogg: I'm so proud of you. You've come a long way since I found you that day by the lake. But can you turn off your emotions long enough to take me on? Or will they get the better of you, as always? I told you, you'll be ready the day you could knock me down as yourself. This is that moment! This is that moment, Vers! Turn off the light show, and prove, PROVE TO ME, YOU CAN BEAT ME WITHOUT—

[Danvers knocks him hundreds of feet back with a photon blast]

Captain Marvel: [Walks up to him and stands over him] I have nothing to prove to you.

[After defeating Yon-Rogg, Carol has strapped him to his ship and activated its autopilot to send it back to Hala]

Yon-Rogg: I can't go back empty-handed!

Captain Marvel: You won't be empty-handed. I'm sending you with a message: Tell the Supreme Intelligence that I'm coming to end it. The war, the lies, all of it.

Ronan: We'll be back for the weapon.

The Other Accuser: The core?

Ronan: The woman.

Nick Fury: We have no idea what other intergalactic threats are out there. And our one-woman security force had a prior commitment on the other side of the universe. S.H.I.E.L.D. alone can't protect us. We need to find more.

Coulson: More weapons?

Nick Fury: More heroes.

Coulson: You think you can find others like her?

Nick Fury: We found her and we weren't even looking.

[In 2018, the Avengers are dealing with the consequences of the failed counterattack against Thanos that lead to the decimation process as they return to the New Avengers Headquarters. On the computer, the numbers continues to rise as the global death toll reaches 3.2 billion.]

Steve Rogers: This is a nightmare.

Natasha Romanoff: I've had better nightmares. [James Rhodes walks in]

James "Rhodey" Rhodes: Hey. So that thing just stopped doing whatever the hell it was doing.

[Rhodes, Romanoff, and Rogers head to the chamber housing the transmitter device, where Bruce Banner is analyzing it.]

Natasha Romanoff: What have we got?

Bruce Banner: Whatever the signal is sending, it finally crapped out.

Steve Rogers: I thought we bypassed the battery.

James "Rhodey" Rhodes: We did. It's still plugged in, it just... it just stopped.

Steve Rogers: Reboot and send the signal again.

Bruce Banner: We don't even know what this is.

Natasha Romanoff: Fury did. Just do it, please. You tell me the second you get a signal. I want to know who's on the other end of that thing.

[As Romanoff turns around, she finds herself face to face with Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel.]
