Sylvie quotes from Loki

Loki

Sylvie--

Sylvie

[angrily] Is this the best you lot can do?

Loki

There was nothing we could do.

Sylvie

Some defense. The TVA is the problem. It's broken. It’s rotten! I’m going home, if it’s still there.

Loki

Please don't. It’s harder...

Loki

To stay.

Sylvie

Stopping that place from being destroyed and fixing it are two very, very different things. And working with one of his Variants is not gonna get you either.

Loki

Well, your machete hasn't solved any problems thus far.

Ravonna Renslayer

If you're gonna kill me, just do it.

Sylvie

I've killed you a thousand times in my mind, each time more brutal than the last. It's a crippling kind of obsession. I'm starting to realize that. It's power for you, isn't it? That's what you want. A seat at the end of time. Well... be careful what you wish for.

Sylvie

What if you're wrong? What if you are wrong to believe this place can be any better? What if I was wrong to spare him? It would just be easier to burn this place down and start from scratch!

Loki

Sure, burn it down, easy. Annihilating it, easy. Razing things to the ground is easy. Trying to fix what's broken is hard. Hope is hard.

Sylvie

Sounds like, whatever we do, we're playing god.

Loki

We are gods.

Loki

How many, if they had a choice, would have chosen to stay? Mobius always said the TVA was the only life he'd ever known and he liked it. It gave him... purpose.

Sylvie

It was never his choice to begin with, Loki. He Who Remains did that.

Loki

But Mobius should have a choice now, no? Shouldn't they all? To return to the TVA if they want?

Sylvie

No. You would be ripping people from their lives, showing them something that they cannot unsee... what kinda choice is that?

Loki

You don't care? I guess not. I guess it's all worked out just the way you want it to, and you're fine just walking away. So selfish!

Sylvie

Of course I'm selfish! I want a life! I want to live. What's wrong with wanting something, Loki?

Loki

I want my friends back. I don't wanna be alone.

Sylvie

See? We're back to selfish. I know this is hard, but your friends are back where they belong.

Loki

But without them... where do I belong?

Sylvie

We're all writing our own stories now. Go write yours.

Sylvie

It's not enough to protect the Sacred Timeline, Loki. Even down there is full of death and destruction and injustice. Do you really wanna be the god who takes away everyone's free will so you can protect that?

Loki

But what good is free will if everyone's dead?

Sylvie

And who are you to say we can't die trying? Who are you to say we can't die fighting? You're replacing one nightmare with another. I grew up in apocalypses, Loki. I've lived through enough of them to know that sometimes, it's okay to destroy something.

Mobius

Where you gonna go?

Sylvie

[shrugs as if to say "I don't know"] You?

Mobius

I might just wait here for a little bit. Let time pass...
