You're not a serious man.
You're right. I'm a god.
You're a clown. You got drunk on the train.
I'm hedonistic. That's what I do.
I'm hedonistic. A lot more than you, I assure you. But never at the expense of the mission.
Oh, the mission? The mission? What, your glorious purpose? Give me a break. You can't beat them.
[frustrated, Sylvie walks off and screams in anger while causing a small energy blast in the ground]
I remember Asgard. Not much, but I remember. My home, my people, my life. The universe wants to break free, so it manifests chaos. Like me being born the Goddess of Mischief. And as soon as that created a big enough detour from the Sacred Timeline, the TVA showed up, erased my reality, and took me prisoner. I was just a child. I escaped. Stole a TemPad and I ran for a long, long time, which really sucked. Everywhere and every-when I went, it caused a Nexus Event. Sent up a smoke flare. Because I'm not supposed to exist. Until, eventually, I figured out where to hide. And so that's where I grew up, the ends of a thousand worlds. Now... that's where I'll die.
Do you think that what makes a Loki a Loki is the fact that we're destined to lose?
No. We may lose. Sometimes painfully. But we don't die. We survive.
Well?
Well, what?
I know you got some quip you're dyin'to say.
I don't have a quip. I've got nothing to say to you.
Come on.
By the way, I should have an equal amount of security. This is insulting!
You just can't help yourself.
You betrayed me!
You betrayed me!
Grow up!
You grow up! You know, it occurred to me that you're not really the God of Mischief.
Oh, here it comes. The folksy, dopey insult from the folksy dope. What am I? The God of Self-Sabotage, yeah? The God of Back-Stabbing?
Just kind of an asshole and a bad friend. Yeah, chew on that for a little bit.
I'm a horrible person. I get it. I really am. I cut off your hair because I thought it'd be funny. And it's not. I crave attention because I'm... I'm a narcissist. And I suppose it's... It's because I'm scared of being alone.
I'm not lying.
Now, I'm supposed to believe your girlfriend.
She's not my girlfriend.
Whatever you want call her. What, your female self that you have some demented crush on…
You're all Variants! Everyone who works at the TVA. The Time-Keepers didn't create you. They kidnapped you from the timeline, and erased your memories. Memories she can access through enchantment. So before this, you had a past, maybe you had a family, a life.
[Mobius is silent for a few seconds.]
Nice try. That was good. You two, what a pair! Gosh! Unbelievable. Wherever you go, it's just death, destruction, the literal ends of worlds. Well, I'm gonna have to close this case now, 'cause I don't need you anymore. Yeah, or as you might say, our interests are no longer aligned.
You know, of all the liars in this place, and there are a great many, you're the biggest.
Why? 'Cause I lied about your girlfriend?
Oh, no. That I can respect. I mean, the lies you tell yourself.
[Mobius enters Loki's time-looped prison.]
What are you doing?
Passing the time.
Do you care about her?
Sylvie? I'm not sure if it's the right word. We covered this back in there.
Shut up! Do you really think you deserve to be alone? Loki!
You told me to shut up.
Do you believe you deserve to be alone?
I don't know.
You better figure it out quick, because the Nexus Event the two of you caused, whatever that connection is, can bring this whole place down. So, we better understand...
We?
Do you swear she didn't implant those memories in Hunter C-20?
Mobius, no. I believe her.
So, I just have to trust the word of two Lokis?
How about the word of a friend?
You were right, about the TVA. You were right from the beginning. And if you wanna save her, you need to trust me. Can we do that?
Yes.
Okay. You could be whoever, whatever you wanna be, even someone good. I mean, just in case anyone ever told you different.
[Loki smiles.]
[yelling] Will someone please explain to me what the hell is going on?! [lowers his voice] Look, it's been a very, very, very trying past few days. Months? I don't even know how long it's been since New York. All I know is I got pruned, and I woke up here, and now I'm surrounded by Variants of myself, plus an alligator, which I'm heartbroken to report I didn't even find all that strange.
[to Classic Loki] Why do you wear the horns? You let a child command you.
You'll do well to respect the boy. This is his kingdom.
Right. And what was your nexus event, Your Majesty?
[looks right at Loki] I killed Thor.
What exactly do you want from me?
You had a link with the Variant. I want you to tell me what drives her.
Revenge drives her. Killing the Time-Keepers. But they turned out to be fake, in case you forgot. So she'll be searching for whomever created them. [regards Renslayer and realizes.] This isn't about protecting the TVA at all, is it? You just want to find whoever is behind all of this, too. [chuckles] You'll never find them. Not before she does.
And why is that?
You only want it. She needs it.
How do I know that, in the final moments, you won't betray me?
Listen, Sylvie, I... I betrayed everyone who ever loved me. I betrayed my father, my brother, my home. I know what I did. And I know why I did it. And that's not who I am anymore. Okay? I won't let you down.
Looks like you got away in the end.
I always do. What will you do at the TVA?
Burn it to the ground. Thanks for the spark.
I think we may be stronger than we realize
Aren't you gonna tell me not to kick the door in?
It never made a difference.
Well, if you think it's a bad idea, I prefer you to speak your mind.
No. Nothing to say.
That would be a first.
All of it. Everything. Exactly the way you've always wanted. And you can have it all, together.
It's fiction.
We write our own destiny now.
[mockingly] Oh, sure you do. Good luck with that. [disappears]
