Quotes 

  • [Thor brings a drunken Selvig home] 

    Jane Foster : What happened?

    Thor : He's fine! We drank, we fought - he made his ancestors proud!

    Jane Foster : Put him on the bed.

    Erik Selvig : [to Thor]  Oh, I still don't think you're the god of thunder. But you ought to be!

  • Thor : You know, I had it all backwards. I had it all wrong.

    Erik Selvig : It's not a bad thing finding out that you don't have all the answers. You start asking the right questions.

    Thor : For the first time in my life, I have no idea what I'm supposed to do.

    Erik Selvig : Anyone who's ever going to find his way in this world, has to start by admitting he doesn't know...

  • [after credits] 

    [Dr Selvig wanders around an underground base] 

    Nick Fury : [greeting him]  Dr. Selvig.

    Erik Selvig : So, you're the man behind all this? It's quite a labyrinth. I was thinking that you had taken me down here to kill me.

    Nick Fury : I've been hearing about the New Mexico situation. Your work has impressed a lot of people who are much smarter than I am.

    Erik Selvig : I had a lot to work with: the Foster theory, a gateway to another dimension... it's unprecedented...

    [Fury doesn't respond] 

    Erik Selvig : ...isn't it?

    Nick Fury : Legend tells us one thing; history, another. But, every now and then, we find something that belongs to both.

    [Fury opens a suitcase, which contains a small cube] 

    Erik Selvig : What is it?

    Nick Fury : Power, Doctor. If we figure out how to tap it, maybe unlimited power.

    [Loki is seen in a reflection, smiling] 

    Loki : [whispers to Selvig]  Well, I guess that's worth a look.

    Erik Selvig : Well, I guess that's worth a look.

  • Jane Foster : Years of research, gone.

    Darcy : They even took my iPod.

    Erik Selvig : What about the backups?

    Jane Foster : They took our backups. They took the backups of our backups. They were extremely thorough.

    Darcy : I just downloaded, like, 30 songs onto there.

  • Jane Foster : [about the mythology book]  Where'd you find this?

    Erik Selvig : The children's section. I just wanted to show you how silly his story was.

    Jane Foster : But you're the one who's always pushing me to chase down every possibility, every alternative.

    Erik Selvig : I'm talking about science, not magic.

    Jane Foster : Well, "magic's just science we don't understand yet." Arthur C. Clarke.

    Erik Selvig : Who wrote science-fiction.

    Jane Foster : A precursor to science fact!

    Erik Selvig : In some cases, yeah.

    Jane Foster : Well, if there's an Einstein-Rosen bridge, then there's something on the other side. And advanced beings could have crossed it!

    Erik Selvig : Oh, Jane.

    Darcy : A primitive culture like the Vikings might have worshiped them as deities.

    Jane Foster : Yes! Yes, exactly. Thank you.

  • Erik Selvig : It's not a bad thing finding out that you don't have all the answers. You start asking the right questions.

  • Erik Selvig : [about Jane]  I've seen the way she looks at you. If you hurt her...

    Thor : I swear to you, I mean her no harm.

  • Agent Coulson : Dr. Selvig, keep him away from the bars!

    Thor : Where are we going?

    Erik Selvig : To get a drink!

  • Erik Selvig : I knew this scientist, a pioneer in gamma radiation. SHIELD showed up, and that's the last I heard from him.

  • Erik Selvig : I've got the particle detectors... Darcy, do you have the SHIELD satellite codes?

    Darcy : Yeah! Have you seen my taser?

    Erik Selvig : It's in the car, come on Jane!
