- Agent Coulson: So is it true? That the Kree burned your eye out because you refused to give them the Tesseract?
- Nick Fury: I will neither confirm nor deny the facts of that story.
- Nick Fury: You know anything about a lady blowing up a Blockbuster? Witnesses say she was dressed for laser tag.
- Nick Fury: We have no idea what other intergalactic threats are out there. And our one woman security force had a prior commitment on the other side of the universe. S.H.I.E.L.D. alone can't protect us. We need to find more.
- Agent Coulson: More weapons?
- Nick Fury: More heroes.
- Agent Coulson: You think you can find others like her?
- Nick Fury: We found her and we weren't even looking.
- Carol Danvers: [to Yon-Rogg, refusing to fight him without her full powers] I have nothing to prove to you.
- Carol Danvers: You have three names. What do people call you?
- Nick Fury: Fury.
- Carol Danvers: Just Fury?
- Nick Fury: Yep. Not Nicholas. Not Joseph. Just Fury.
- Carol Danvers: What does your mother call you then?
- Nick Fury: Fury.
- Carol Danvers: What do your friends call you?
- Nick Fury: Fury.
- Carol Danvers: Kids?
- Nick Fury: If I ever have them? Fury.
- Maria Rambeau: You call me 'young lady' again, I'll shove my foot up somewhere it's not supposed to be.
- [awkward silence]
- Talos: Am I supposed to guess where that is?
- Nick Fury, Carol Danvers: Your ass!
- Carol Danvers: [Referring to the front of the baseball cap that Fury has given her] What is it?
- Nick Fury: It's a S.H.I.E.L.D. logo.
- Carol Danvers: Does, uh, announcing your identity On clothing help with the covert part of your job?
- Nick Fury: Said the space soldier who's wearing a rubber suit.
- Natasha Romanoff: Tell me the second you get a signal. I wanna know who's on the other end of that thing.
- Carol Danvers: Where's Fury?
- Carol Danvers: Name a detail so bizarre, a Skrull can never fabricate it.
- Nick Fury: If a toast is cut diagonally, I can't eat it.
- Nick Fury: You didn't need that, did you?
- Carol Danvers: No. No, I didn't. But I enjoyed it.
- Nick Fury: Space invasion, big car chase... truth be told, I was ready to hang it up. 'Till I met you today.
- Carol Danvers: Well, I could use a co-pilot.
- Maria Rambeau: No. No, I can't. I can't leave Monica.
- Monica Rambeau (11 Years Old): Mommy, it's okay. I can stay with grandma and poppa.
- Maria Rambeau: There's no way I'm going, baby. It's too dangerous.
- Monica Rambeau (11 Years Old): Testing for new aerospace tech is dangerous. Didn't you used to do that?
- Maria Rambeau: [to Carol] Your plan is to leave the atmosphere in a craft not designed for the journey, and you anticipate hostile encounters with a technologically superior foreign enemy. Correct?
- [Carol nods]
- Monica Rambeau (11 Years Old): That's what I'm saying. You have to go!
- Maria Rambeau: Monica.
- Monica Rambeau (11 Years Old): You have a chance to fly the coolest mission in the history of missions. And you're going to give it up to sit on the couch and watch Fresh Prince with me? I just think you should consider what kind of example you're setting for your daughter.
- Carol Danvers: I've been fighting with one arm tied behind my back. But what happens when...
- [tears off the inhibitor]
- Carol Danvers: ... I'm finally set free?
- Maria Rambeau: You are Carol Danvers. You were the woman on that black box risking her life to do the right thing. My best friend. Who supported me as a mother and a pilot when no one else did. You were smart, and funny, and a huge pain in the ass. And you were the most powerful person I knew, way before you could shoot fire through your fists.
- Carol Danvers: I keep having these... memories. I see flashes. I think I have a life here. But I can't tell if it's real.
- Carol Danvers: [To Yon-Rogg, realizing who she is - unleashing her full power] I've been fighting with one hand tied behind my back. What happens when I'm finally set free?
- [Vers and Fury arrive at the Records room of the Project Pegasus facility]
- Nick Fury: Oh! Let me get my fingerprint out. Just let me unravel this puppy and we'll...
- [Vers blasts the lock off the doors]
- Nick Fury: You sat there and watched me play with tape, when all you had to do was...
- Carol Danvers: I didn't want to steal your thunder.
- Nick Fury: You know you're glowing, right?
- Carol Danvers: I'll explain it later.
- [Carol opens the lunch box, revealing the Tesseract while Fury removes Goose's muzzle]
- Carol Danvers: Take the Tesseract. Leave the lunch box.
- Nick Fury: Me?
- Carol Danvers: Yes.
- Nick Fury: I'm not touching that thing.
- Carol Danvers: You want me to get you an oven mitt?
- [Goose suddenly reveals tentacles from his mouth and uses them to grab the Tesseract and swallow it. Fury drops Goose]
- Nick Fury: Whoa!
- [Surprised look on Fury and Maria's faces]
- Carol Danvers: Get the Skrulls on the Quadjet and go. Take the... Flerken with you.
- [Carol walks out]
- Maria Rambeau: What about you?
- Carol Danvers: I'll buy you some time!
- [Fury looks at Goose]
- Nick Fury: I'm picking you up now.
- [Fury picks up Goose]
- Nick Fury: I'm trusting you not to eat me.
- Nick Fury: I know a renegade soldier when I see one. Never occurred to me that one might come from above.
- [Vers walks out of Maria's office after listening to the Black Box recording and realizing that Yon-Rogg abducted her in 1989]
- Carol Danvers: He lied to me. Everything that I knew was a lie.
- Talos: Now, you understand.
- Carol Danvers: What? What do I understand now?
- Talos: Yon-Rogg killed Mar-Vell. He killed her... 'cause she found out that she was on the wrong side of an unjust war.
- Carol Danvers: No. Your people are terrorists. They kill innocents. I saw the ruins on Torfa.
- Talos: Ruins that the Accusers are responsible for. My people lived as refugees on Torfa. Homeless, ever since we resisted Kree rule and they destroyed our planet. And the handful of us that are left... will be slaughtered next, unless you help me finish what Mar-Vell started. The core that she found would have powered a light-speed ship capable of carrying us to safety. A new home... where the Kree can't reach us.
- Maria Rambeau: Lawson always told us that our work at Pegasus wasn't to fight wars, but to end them.
- Talos: She wanted you to help us find the core.
- Carol Danvers: Well, I already destroyed it.
- Talos: No, you destroyed the engine. The core that powered it is in a remote location. If you help us decode those coordinates, we can find it.
- Carol Danvers: You'll use it to destroy us.
- Talos: [sighing] We just want a home. You and I lost everything at the hands of the Kree. Can't you see it now? You're not one of them.
- Carol Danvers: You don't know me. You have no idea who I am. I don't even know who I am!
- Maria Rambeau: You are Carol Danvers. You are that woman on the Black Box risking her life to do the right thing. My best friend, who supported me as a mother and a pilot when no one else did. You are smart, and funny, and a huge pain in the ass, and you were the most powerful person I knew. Way before you could shoot fire from your fists. You hear me? Do you hear me?
- [Carol nods and smiles before Monica embraces her]
- Maria Rambeau: Come here. Come here, girl. I got you.
- Carol Danvers: You're right. I'm only human.
- Supreme Intelligence: On Hala, you were reborn, Vers.
- Carol Danvers: My name is Carol.
- [At Avengers Headquarters, Fury's pager shuts off while Rogers and Romanoff view the increasing casualties of Thanos' Decimation in the war room]
- Steve Rogers: This is a nightmare.
- Natasha Romanoff: I've had better nightmares.
- James Rhodes: Hey. So that thing just stopped doing whatever the hell it was doing.
- [They look at the pager]
- Natasha Romanoff: What do we got?
- Bruce Banner: Whatever signal it was sending finally crapped out.
- Steve Rogers: I thought we bypassed the battery.
- James Rhodes: We did. It's still plugged in. It just... it just stopped.
- Steve Rogers: Reboot it. Send the signal again.
- Bruce Banner: But we don't even know what this is.
- Natasha Romanoff: Fury did. Just do it, please. You tell me the second you get a signal. I wanna know who's on the other end of that thing.
- [Romanoff turns around and suddenly sees Carol]
- Carol Danvers: Where's Fury?
- Maria Rambeau: Can I ask you something? Do you just turn into anything you want?
- Talos: Ah well, I have to see it first.
- Maria Rambeau: Can you all do it?
- Talos: Physiologically, yeah. But it takes practice and, um, dare I say it, talent to do it well.
- Nick Fury: Can you turn into a cat?
- Talos: What's a cat?
- Maria Rambeau: What about a filing cabinet?
- Talos: Why would I turn into a filing cabinet?
- Nick Fury: A venus fly trap. I'll give you $50 right now if you turn into a venus fly trap.
- [Fury grabs Goose]
- Nick Fury: That was a close call, huh, Goosey? Huh?
- [Fury laughs while Goose meows loudly]
- Nick Fury: Those bad guys still in there somewhere?
- [Goose suddenly scratches Fury in his left eye]
- Nick Fury: Ow! Mother Flerken!
- Maria Rambeau: Are you okay?
- Nick Fury: Yeah. It's just a scratch.
- Talos: No.
- [Vers and Fury enter the fifth floor of the Project Pegasus facility when a cat approaches them]
- Nick Fury: Hey there. How are you? Oh my goodness. Look at you. Just look at you. Aren't you the cutest looking thing? Aren't you cute? And what's your name, huh? What's your name? "Goose." Cool name for a cool cat.
- Carol Danvers: Fury?
- Nick Fury: Hmm?
- [Fury gets up]
- Nick Fury: [whispers to Goose] I'll be back.
- Talos: This is war. My hands are filthy from it too. But we're here now. You found my family, this is just the beginning.
- [Vers enters a train, looking for the Skrull sniper that attacked her. She looks at the passengers and notices someone reading the script to Mallrats]
- Stan Lee: Trust me, true believer. Trust me.
- [an infant Skrull shows off her high-score on pinball; 968,400]
- Nick Fury: If I played the same pinball machine for six years, I'd have some high scores, too.
- [Vers breaks free from the memory reading device and attacks nearby Skrull soldiers before cornering Talos]
- Carol Danvers: What did you do to me?
- Talos: Now we're just after a little information.
- Carol Danvers: What did you put in my head?
- Talos: Nothing that wasn't already there.
- Carol Danvers: But those aren't my memories.
- Talos: Yeah, it's like a bad trip, isn't it? I'm not surprised you can't keep it straight. They really did a number on you.
- Carol Danvers: Enough of your mind games! What do you want?
- Talos: We're looking for the location of a Dr. Lawson and her light-speed engine.
- Carol Danvers: I don't know any Dr. Lawson.
- Talos: Really? Then why is she in your head?
- Carol Danvers: [Carol gives Fury his pager] I upgraded it. Range should be, a couple galaxies, at least.
- [as Fury goes to take the pager, Carol pulls back her hand]
- Nick Fury: What? You think I'm going to prank call you?
- Carol Danvers: For emergencies only. Okay?
- Nick Fury: Well, if you're ever passing back through this galaxy, be sure to give a brother a shout.
- Yon-Rogg: I can't go back empty handed.
- Carol Danvers: You won't be empty-handed. I'm sending you with a message. Tell the Supreme Intelligence that I'm coming to end it. The war, the lies, all of it.
- Carol Danvers: I slipped.
- Yon-Rogg: Right. You slipped. As a result of me punching you in the face.
- Carol Danvers: I was already slipping when you happened to punch me in the face. The two of those are not related.
- [Vers activates her beacon before Fury knocks on the payphone booth]
- Nick Fury: Excuse me, miss. You know anything about a lady blowing a hole through the roof of that Blockbuster over there? Witness says she was dressed for laser tag.
- Carol Danvers: Oh. Yeah, I think she went that way.
- [Vers proceeds to walk away, but Fury stops her and shows him his I.D]
- Nick Fury: Uh, I'd like to ask you some questions. Maybe give you the 411 on the late-night drop box. Could I see some identification, please?
- Carol Danvers: Vers. Kree Starforce. We don't carry our identification on little cards.
- Nick Fury: Vers? Starforce? How long you plan to be in town?
- Carol Danvers: Oh, I'll be out of your hair as soon as I track down the Skrulls that are infiltrating your planet.
- Nick Fury: Skrulls?
- Carol Danvers: Shapeshifters? They can transform into any life-form down to the DNA.
- [Vers notices Fury and Coulson smiling]
- Carol Danvers: Oh, boy. You guys don't have any clue, do you?
- [Vers proceeds to walk away]
- Nick Fury: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on. How do we know you're not one of those shapeshifters?
- Carol Danvers: Congratulations, Agent Fury. You have finally asked a relevant question.
- Nick Fury: No! Congratulations to you, Starforce lady. You're under arrest.
- [a police officer approaches Vers to cuff her when Vers suddenly notices a Skrull sniper disguised as a human aiming at her and Fury. The Skrull fires, but Vers pushes Fury away and fires back at the sniper before running after him. Fury heads for his car and calls out Coulson]
- Nick Fury: Rook! Rook, let's roll!
- Nick Fury: Who's a good kitty huh? Huh Goose? Yes, that's right. Who's a good kitty Goose? You're a good kitty.
- Carol Danvers: Has a Skrull ever simmed you?
- Korath: Once... it was deeply disturbing.
- Carol Danvers: Why?
- Korath: Because I stared into the face of my mortal enemy and the face staring back was my own.
- Supreme Intelligence: You did good, Ace.
- [Supreme Intelligence grabs the Tesseract]
- Supreme Intelligence: Thanks to you, those insidious shapeshifters will threaten our borders no more.
- Carol Danvers: I used to believe your lies, but the Skrulls are just fighting for a home. You're talking about destroying them because they won't submit to your rule. And neither will I.
- Supreme Intelligence: We found you. We embraced you as our own.
- Carol Danvers: You stole me. From my home, my family, my friends.
- [Supreme Intelligence sighs. Carol charges and punches her in the face, but her fist is stuck in her face before she is thrown to an invisible wall]
- Supreme Intelligence: It's cute how hard you try. But remember, without us...
- [Carol is absorbed through the wall, which projects images of her memories]
- Supreme Intelligence: ...You're weak.
- [Carol continues to watches flashbacks of her crashing in races and failing in physical activities]
- Supreme Intelligence: You're flawed. Helpless. We saved you.
- [Carol falls back in the room]
- Supreme Intelligence: Without us, you're only human.
- Carol Danvers: You're right. I'm only human.
- [Carol starts remembering every time she got up from a fall]
- Supreme Intelligence: On Hala, you were reborn. Vers.
- [Carol holds a fragment of her dog tag that reads "Vers"]
- Carol Danvers: My name is Carol.
- Supreme Intelligence: You are just one victim of the Skrull invasion that has threatened our civilization for centuries. Impostors who silently infiltrate, then take over on planets.
- Maria Rambeau: You don't remember anything?
- Carol Danvers: I see... flashes. Little moments. But I can't tell what's real. If I could just piece together what happened that morning... maybe it'll all make sense.
- [pause]
- Maria Rambeau: You woke me up banging on my door at dawn. Your usual move. Back then, we had to get up so early. The Air Force still wasn't letting women fly combat, so testing Lawson's planes was our only shot at doing something that mattered. You wanted to race to base in your old Mustang, and I wasn't about to argue 'cause I knew my Camaro would dominate. But you cheated, took a shortcut.
- Carol Danvers: Since when is a shortcut cheating?
- Maria Rambeau: Since it violates the predetermined rules of engagement.
- Carol Danvers: I definitely don't remember those.
- Maria Rambeau: Hmm. Of course you don't.
- [they both laugh]
- Maria Rambeau: When I got to the hangar, Lawson was agitated. She said she had lives to save. She was trying to take the Asis up herself, but you said that...
- Carol Danvers: If there were lives at stake, I would fly the plane.
- Maria Rambeau: Yeah. Yep. Big hero moment. The kind of moment we'd both been waiting for. The Doc was always unique. That's why we liked her. But now you're saying she's from another planet.
- Carol Danvers: I know this must be hard for you.
- Maria Rambeau: Oh, what? This part right here? No. No. Mmm-mmm. Oh, what's hard is losing my best friend in a mission so secret they act like it never even happened. Hard is knowing you were out there somewhere too damn stubborn to die. And now you come up in here after six years, with your supercharged fire hands and you expect me to call you... I don't even know what. Vers? Is that really who you are now?
- Carol Danvers: I don't know.
