Loki Laufeyson Quotes

Mobius: Did you watch any of the training videos you were supposed to?

Loki: Well, as many as I could stand. Your TVA propaganda is exhausting.

TVA Soldier: And what do these do?

Loki: Reset charges prune the affected radius of a branched timeline, allowing time to heal all its wounds. Which sounds like a nice way of saying disintegrate everything in its vicinity.

Mobius: He’s on it.

Loki: I watched the videos. I mean, some of them.

Mobius: We’re looking for a Loki. A variation of this guy. A type we should all be very familiar with, because the TVA has pruned a lotta these guys, almost more than any other Variant. And no two are alike. Slight differences in appearances, or not so slight. Different powers, although, powers, generally include shape-shifting, illusion-projection, and my favorite…

Loki: Duplication-casting.

Mobius: Illusion-projection.

Loki: No, they’re two completely different powers actually.

Mobius: How?

Loki: Illusion-projection involves depicting a detailed image from outside oneself, which is perceptible in the external world, whereas duplication-casting entails recreating an exact facsimile of one’s own body in its present circumstance, which acts as a true holographic mirror of its molecular structure. But you already knew that.

Mobius: Okay, take a breath. Noted. We’re gonna break into two teams, including myself and Professor Loki.

Mobius: Listen, I can’t offer you salvation, but maybe I can offer you something better. A fugitive Variant’s been killing our Minutemen.

Loki: And you need the God of Mischief to help you stop him?

Mobius: That’s right.

Loki: Why me?

Mobius: The Variant we’re hunting is… you.

Loki: I beg your pardon?

Loki: I don’t enjoy hurting people. I… I don’t enjoy it. I do it because I have to, because I’ve had to.

Mobius: Okay, explain that to me.

Loki: Because it’s part of the illusion. It’s the cruel, elaborate trick conjured by the weak to inspire fear.

Mobius: A desperate play for control. You do know yourself.

Loki: A villain.

Mobius: That’s not how I see it.

Loki: I was just standing up to make a point.

Mobius: I’m sorry, go ahead.

Loki: It won’t be as meaningful now.

Mobius: Okay, well, stay seated.

Loki: I’ll do what I want to do!

Mobius: 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 laughs…)

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.
