Quotes 

• Loki : I'm gonna burn this place to the ground!

  Mobius : I'll show you where my desk is. You can start there.

• Mobius : [to Loki]  I can't believe you were D.B. Cooper!

• Mobius : You weren't born to be king, Loki. You were born to cause pain and suffering and death. That's how it is, that's how it was, that's how it will be.

  [shows the Avengers one final time] 

  Mobius : All so that others can achieve the best versions of themselves.

• [Having seen where his future will lead to, Loki has given up escaping and returned to Mobius' office] 

  Loki : I don't enjoy hurting people. I...

  [sighs] 

  Loki : I don't enjoy it. I do it 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.

  [sighs] 

  Mobius : That's not how I see it.

• Loki : This place is a nightmare.

  Mobius : That's another department. Now that department I'll help you burn down.

• [Mobius begins showing Loki the aftermath of the Battle of New York; Loki turns away in embarassment] 

  Loki : [on recording]  If it's all the same to you, I'll have that drink now.

  [Mobius offers Loki a soda] 

  Loki : No. And I remember. I was there. Anything else?

  Mobius : It's funny, for someone born to rule, you sure do lose a lot. You might even say it's in your nature.

  Loki : You know, things didn't turn out so well for the last person who said that to me.

  Mobius : Oh, yeah. Phil Coulson.

  [the events of Loki stabbing Coulson in the back with Thor watching in despair are shown, followed by the Avengers coming together as a team] 

  Mobius : Didn't the Avengers come together to literally avenge him by defeating you?

  Loki : Little solace to a dead man.

  Mobius : Do you enjoy hurting people? Making them feel small? Making them feel afraid?

  Loki : Your games don't frighten me.

  Mobius : Making them feel little?

  Loki : I know what I am.

  Mobius : A murderer?

  Loki : A liberator.

  Mobius : Of eyeballs, maybe.

  [sees the sequence where a smiling Loki carves out a man's eyeball] 

  Mobius : Look at that smile. You are enjoying that. Did you enjoy hurting them?

  Loki : I don't have to play this game. I'm a god.

  Mobius : Of what, again? Mischief, right?

• Mobius : You're gonna start taking things more seriously.

  [Mobius begins showing Loki footage of the future he hasn't experienced yet, beginning from "Thor: The Dark World"] 

  Mobius : If you hadn't picked up the Tesseract, you would've been taken to a cell on Asgard.

  [shows Loki meets with his adopted mother, Frigga] 

  Frigga : Loki.

  Loki : Hello, Mother. Have I made you proud?

  Frigga : Please, don't make this worse.

  Loki : What is this? This is nonsense, more tricks. This never even happened.

  Mobius : Not to you, not yet. Look, the TVA doesn't just know your whole past, we know your whole life, how it's all meant to be. Think of it as comforting.

  Loki : This is absurd.

  [Loki sees his final meeting with Frigga] 

  Frigga : And am I not your mother?

  Loki : You're not.

  Frigga : Hmmm. Always so perceptive about everyone but yourself.

  Mobius : And then the Dark Elves attack the palace, and you think you send them to Thor...

  [sees Loki talking to Kurse] 

  Loki : You might wanna take the stairs to the left.

  Mobius : But instead, you send them...

  [shows Frigga's death] 

  Frigga : I'll never tell!

  [Frigga is killed] 

  Loki : [outraged]  Where do you have her? Where is she?

  Mobius : You lead them right to her.

  Loki : I don't believe you. You're lying. It's not true.

  Mobius : It is true. That's the proper flow of time and it happens again and again and again because it's supposed to, because it has to. The TVA makes sure of it.

  Loki : Where is she?

  Mobius : Now why don't you tell me, do you enjoy hurting people?

  Loki : I don't believe you.

  Mobius : Do you enjoy killing?

  Loki : I'll kill you.

  Mobius : Like you did your mother?

• [Loki and Mobius are in an elevator together] 

  Loki : Are you taking me somewhere to kill me?

  Mobius : No, that's where you just were. I'm taking you someplace to talk.

  Loki : I don't like to talk.

  Mobius : No, but you do like to lie, which you just did because we both know you love to talk.

  [makes mouth movements with his hands] 

  Mobius : Talkie-talkie.

• [speaking in Mobius' office] 

  Loki : You don't know anything about me.

  Mobius : Maybe I'd like to learn. I specialize in the pursuit of dangerous Variants.

  Loki : Like myself?

  Mobius : Mmm. No. Particularly dangerous Variants. You're just a little pussycat. I got a series of questions for you. You answer them honestly, and then maybe I can give you something you want. You wanna get out of here, right? Yeah, so we'll start there.

  [beat] 

  Mobius : Should you return, what are you gonna do?

  Loki : [firmly]  Finish what I started.

  Mobius : Which is?

  Loki : Claim my throne.

  Mobius : You wanna be king?

  Loki : I don't want to be, I was born to be.

  Mobius : I know, but king of what exactly?

  Loki : [scoffs]  You wouldn't understand.

  Mobius : Try me.

  Loki : Midgard.

  Mobius : AKA Earth. Alright, now you're the king of Midgard. Now what? Happily ever after?

  Loki : Asgard, the Nine Realms. Space?

  Mobius : Space? Space is big. That'd be a nice little feather in your cap. "Loki, the King of Space".

  Loki : Mock me if you dare.

  Mobius : No, I'm not.

  [chuckles] 

  Mobius : Honestly, I'm actually a fan. Yeah. And I guess 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 Time Keepers have built quite the circus. And I see the clowns are playing their parts to perfection.

  Mobius : Big metaphor guy. I love it. Makes you sound super smart.

  Loki : I am smart.

  Mobius : I know.

  Loki : Okay.

  Mobius : Okay.

• [Loki holds up the Tesseract] 

  Mobius : You try to use that?

  Loki : Even an Infinity Stone is worthless here. The TVA is a formidable foe.

  Mobius : Yeah, that's been my experience.

• Mobius : You've always lived within your set path...

  Loki : I live within whatever path I choose!

• [last lines] 

  Mobius M. Mobius : The Variant we're looking for is... *you*.

  Loki : I beg your pardon?

• [talking to a French boy in 1549 who indicates that she's been visited by the devil] 

  Mobius : Don't worry, that devil's afraid of us. We're gonna take care of him.

• Loki : For the record, this really does feel like a "killing me" type of room.

  Mobius : Not big on trust, are you?

• Mobius : Look, I can't offer you salvation. But I can offer you something better.

• Loki : Trust is for children, and dogs. There's only one person you can trust.

  Mobius : Yourself? I like it, slap it on a t-shirt.

• [being taken away by the TVA to be forcibly "reset"] 

  Loki : You ridiculous bureaucrats will not dictate how my story ends!

  Ravonna Renslayer : It's not your story, Mr. Laufeyson. It never was.

  Loki : You have no idea what I'm capable of!

  Mobius M. Mobius : [stands up in the back]  I... think I might. Have an idea of what he's capable of.

  Ravonna Renslayer : Approach the bench.

  Mobius M. Mobius : [does so; whispers]  Hi.

  Ravonna Renslayer : [whispering]  If you're thinking what I think you are, it's a bad idea.

  Mobius M. Mobius : Okay, I'm just chasing a hunch.

  Ravonna Renslayer : Anything goes sideways, and it's on you.

  Mobius M. Mobius : Okay.

  [amiable] 

  Mobius M. Mobius : I feel like I'm always looking up to you. I like it. It's appropriate.

• Mobius : Loki? Nowhere left to run.

  Loki : I can't go back, can I? Back to my timeline.
