Captain America: The First Avenger[]

Spoken by Johann Schmidt[]

"The Tesseract was the jewel of Odin's treasure room. It's not something one buries. But I think it is close, yes?"
―Johann Schmidt[src]
"Great power has always baffled primitive men. Hydra is assembling an arsenal to destroy my enemies in one stroke, wherever they are, regardless of how many forces they possess, all in a matter of hours."
―Johann Schmidt[src]
"My weapons contain enough destructive power to decimate every hostile capital on Earth. Quite simply, gentlemen, I have harnessed the power of the gods."
―Johann Schmidt[src]
"You are failing! We are close to an offensive that will shake the planet, yet we are continually delayed because you cannot outwit a simpleton with a shield!"
―Red Skull[src]

Spoken about Johann Schmidt[]

"Now Schmidt is a member of the inner circle and he is ambitious. He and Hitler share a passion for occult power and Teutonic myth. Hitler uses his fantasies to inspire his followers, but for Schmidt, it is not fantasy. For him, it is real."
Abraham Erskine to Steve Rogers[src]
"He thinks that he is a god and he is willing to blow up half the world to prove it."
Chester Phillips[src]

Dialogue[]

"The Tesseract was the jewel of Odin's treasure room. It's not something one buries. But I think it is close, yes?"
"I cannot help you."
"No. But maybe you can help your village. You must have some friends out there. Some... some little grandchildren perhaps. I have no need for them to die."
―Johann Schmidt and Church Keeper[src]
"I have not come all this way for safety, Doctor."
"What was that?"
"I must congratulate you, Arnim, your designs does not disappoint, though they may require some slight reinforcement."
"Nothing has changed, it's stable. Amazing."
―Johann Schmidt and Arnim Zola[src]
"While Hitler speaks of a thousand-year Reich, but he cannot feed his army for the month. His troops spill their blood across every field in Europe. But he is still no closer to achieving his goals."
―Johann Schmidt to Roeder[src]
"And I suppose you still aim to win this war through magic?"
"Science. But I understand your confusion. Great power has always baffled primitive men."
Roeder and Red Skull[src]
"You are deluded, Captain. You pretend to be a simple soldier but, in reality, you are just afraid to admit that we have left humanity behind. Unlike you, I embrace it proudly. Without fear!"
―Red Skull to Captain America[src]
"Tomorrow, Hydra will stand as master of the world, borne to victory on the wings of the Valkyrie. Our enemies' weapons will be powerless against us. If they shoot down one plane, hundreds more will rain fire upon them! If they cut off one head, two more shall take its place."
―Red Skull to Hydra[src]
"Arrogance may not be a uniquely American trait, but I must say, you do it better than anyone. But there are limits to what even you can do, Captain, or did Erskine tell you otherwise?"
"He told me you were insane."
―Red Skull and Captain America[src]
"You could have the power of the gods! Yet you wear a flag on your chest and think you fight a battle of nations! I have seen the future Captain! There are no flags!"
"Not in my future!"
―Red Skull and Captain America[src]

Avengers: Infinity War[]

Dialogue[]

"Welcome, Thanos, son of A'Lars. Gamora, daughter of Thanos."
"You know us?"
"It is my curse to know all who journey here."
"Where is the Soul Stone?"
"You should know, it extracts a terrible price."
"I am prepared."
"We all think that at first. We are all wrong."
―Red Skull and Thanos[src]
"How is it you know this place so well?"
"A lifetime ago, I, too, sought the stones. I even held one in my hand. But it cast me out, banished me here, guiding others to a treasure I can not possess."
Thanos and Red Skull[src]
"What you seek lies in front of you. As does what you fear."
"What's this?"
"The price. Soul holds a special place among the Infinity Stones. You might say, it is a certain wisdom."
"Tell me what it needs."
"To ensure that whoever possesses it, understands its power. The stone demands a sacrifice."
"Of what?"
"In order to take the stone, you must lose that which you love. A soul for a soul."
Red Skull, Gamora and Thanos[src]
"All my life I dreamed of a day, a moment, when you got what you deserved. And I was always so disappointed. But now, you kill and torture and you call it mercy. The universe has judged you. You asked it for a price and it told you no. You failed. And do you wanna know why? Because you love nothing. No one. Really, tears?"
"They are not for him."
"No. This isn't love."
"I ignored my destiny once, I cannot do that again. Even for you. I'm sorry, Little one."
"No!"
Gamora, Red Skull and Thanos[src]

Why, cause he knows your Daddy's name?"

Hawkeye to Thor[src]

Dialogue[]

"Consider me a guide. To you, and to all who seek the Soul Stone."
"Oh, good. You tell us where it is. Then we'll be on our way."
"Ah, liebchen. If only it were that easy."
―Red Skull and Black Widow[src]
"What you seek lies in front of you, as does what you fear."

"For one of you. For the other... In order to take the stone, you must lose that which you love. An everlasting exchange. A soul, for a soul."
Red Skull and Black Widow[src]
