Okay, so the how works. 00:03
Now, we gotta figure out the when and the where. 00:05
Almost everyone in this room has had an encounter... 00:09
with at least one of the six Infinity Stones. 00:11
Or substitute the word "encounter"... 00:13
for "damn near been killed" 00:14
by one of the six Infinity Stones. 00:16
Well, I haven't... 00:17
but I don't even know 00:18
what the hell you're all talking about. 00:19
Regardless, we only have enough Pym Particles 00:21
for one round-trip each. 00:24
And these stones have been 00:26
in a lot of different places throughout history. 00:27
Our history. 00:29
So, not a lot of convenient spots to just drop in, yeah? 00:31
Which means we have to pick our targets. 00:34
Correct. 00:36
So, let's start with the Aether. 00:39
Thor, what do you know? 00:40
Is he asleep? 00:47
No, no. I'm pretty sure he's dead. 00:49
Uh, where to start? Um... 00:54
The Aether, firstly, is not a stone. 00:58
Someone called it a stone before. 01:01
Um, it's more of an angry sludge sort of a thing... 01:04
so someone's gonna need to amend that 01:08
and stop saying that. 01:10
Here's an interesting story, though, about the Aether. 01:11
My grandfather, many years ago... 01:14
had to hide the stone from the Dark Elves. 01:16
Ooh. Scary beings. 01:20
So, Jane, actually... 01:23
Oh, there she is. 01:25
Yeah, so Jane was an old flame of mine. 01:27
You know, she stuck her hand inside a rock this one time... 01:32
and then the Aether stuck itself inside her... 01:35
and she became very, very sick. 01:38
And so I had to take her to Asgard, 01:40
which is where I'm from... 01:42
and we had to try and fix her. 01:43
We were dating at the time, you see... 01:45
and I got to introduce her to my mother... 01:47
who's dead and, um... 01:52
Oh, you know, Jane and I 01:55
aren't even dating anymore, so... 01:57
Yes, these things happen, though. You know? 02:00
Nothing lasts forever. The only thing that... 02:01
- Why don't you come sit down? - I'm not done yet. 02:03
The only thing that is permanent in life 02:05
is impermanence. 02:06
Awesome. Eggs? Breakfast? 02:09
No. I'd like a Bloody Mary. 02:11
Quill said he stole the Power Stone from Morag. 02:13
- Is that a person? - No, Morag's a planet. 02:16
Quill was a person. 02:20
Like a planet? Like in outer space? 02:22
Oh, look. 02:24
It's like a little puppy, all happy and everything. 02:26
Do you wanna go to space? You wanna go to space, puppy? 02:29
I'll take you to space. 02:32
Thanos found the Soul Stone on Vormir. 02:35
What is Vormir? 02:37
A dominion of death... 02:39
at the very center of celestial existence. 02:41
It's where Thanos murdered my sister. 02:45
Not it. 02:55
- That Time Stone guy. - Doctor Strange. 02:58
Yeah, what kind of doctor was he? 03:00
Ear-nose-throat meets rabbit-from-hat. 03:02
Nice place in the Village, though. 03:04
Yeah, on Sullivan Street? 03:05
Mm... Bleecker Street. 03:07
Wait, he lived in New York? 03:08
No, he lived in Toronto. 03:10
Uh, yeah, on Bleecker and Sullivan. 03:11
Have you been listening to anything? 03:12
Guys. 03:13
If you pick the right year, 03:14
there are three stones in New York. 03:16
Shut the front door. 03:20
All right. We have a plan. 03:24
Six stones, three teams, one shot. 03:27

[English]
Okay, so the how works.
Now, we gotta figure out the when and the where.
Almost everyone in this room has had an encounter...
with at least one of the six Infinity Stones.
Or substitute the word "encounter"...
for "damn near been killed"
by one of the six Infinity Stones.
Well, I haven't...
but I don't even know
what the hell you're all talking about.
Regardless, we only have enough Pym Particles
for one round-trip each.
And these stones have been
in a lot of different places throughout history.
Our history.
So, not a lot of convenient spots to just drop in, yeah?
Which means we have to pick our targets.
Correct.
So, let's start with the Aether.
Thor, what do you know?
Is he asleep?
No, no. I'm pretty sure he's dead.
Uh, where to start? Um...
The Aether, firstly, is not a stone.
Someone called it a stone before.
Um, it's more of an angry sludge sort of a thing...
so someone's gonna need to amend that
and stop saying that.
Here's an interesting story, though, about the Aether.
My grandfather, many years ago...
had to hide the stone from the Dark Elves.
Ooh. Scary beings.
So, Jane, actually...
Oh, there she is.
Yeah, so Jane was an old flame of mine.
You know, she stuck her hand inside a rock this one time...
and then the Aether stuck itself inside her...
and she became very, very sick.
And so I had to take her to Asgard,
which is where I'm from...
and we had to try and fix her.
We were dating at the time, you see...
and I got to introduce her to my mother...
who's dead and, um...
Oh, you know, Jane and I
aren't even dating anymore, so...
Yes, these things happen, though. You know?
Nothing lasts forever. The only thing that...
- Why don't you come sit down? - I'm not done yet.
The only thing that is permanent in life
is impermanence.
Awesome. Eggs? Breakfast?
No. I'd like a Bloody Mary.
Quill said he stole the Power Stone from Morag.
- Is that a person? - No, Morag's a planet.
Quill was a person.
Like a planet? Like in outer space?
Oh, look.
It's like a little puppy, all happy and everything.
Do you wanna go to space? You wanna go to space, puppy?
I'll take you to space.
Thanos found the Soul Stone on Vormir.
What is Vormir?
A dominion of death...
at the very center of celestial existence.
It's where Thanos murdered my sister.
Not it.

If you pick the right year,
there are three stones in New York.
Shut the front door.
All right. We have a plan.
Six stones, three teams, one shot.
