Loki (Marvel) - New recruit

Transcript

Well, as you know, I am low-key, and that comes with rather a lot of problems. Now, if you'd like to listen to those problems, I would have to call you my therapist, wouldn't I? And that would not be a good color on you.

No, I don't mean that at all. All I mean is that you don't need to worry about me, about the things that I have to deal with, right? You'd like that.

That is what you are telling me, that you would actually like to listen to everything that I have to say. Why? Why would you want that? Do you think you can change me? Is that what you are thinking in this very moment? That you can absolutely change me, low-key? That is not possible.

No one can change me. And it is not because I do not want to change. I know and am very well aware that I shall change, just not now and not by someone who thinks it's their job to do so.

Besides, I am the rightful Prince of Asgard, and I will reclaim my throne, no matter what. If you'd like to help in my endeavor, that's completely different, and I would be very happy to have you along. But it doesn't mean that I will allow all of this to occur.

This, right now, how you think you have control over me, that is what you are saying, isn't it? That you can change me? Oh no? Then what are you saying? Right, right, right.

I think you are lying to me. You are. You are absolutely lying to me.

And I don't take too kindly to liars because I know what it's like to be one. What it takes to be a liar. So now you grovel and you want to excuse yourself.

Well, you are not excused. I want to know why you want to know about me. Why you think you can change me.

Have I made you think that you can? Have I given you some impression that you can change me when I know myself that is impossible? It is.

It is a hopeless endeavor. Something I do not want anyone to know. It's no one's job to do this.

I'm not saying anything. What do you want? That is what you are saying, but I don't think so.

Besides, you don't care about me, do you? All you care about is yourself. And I know this because I am rather the same way.

I absolutely think that I care for things and then realize that I am just but lying to myself. Do you lie to yourself as well? It seems like you do.

Well then, if you do decide to hop on board, if I decide to let you on board, then know that I understand at least. Oh, go ahead. Now that is the most truthful you've been ever since you walked through those doors.

And I can tell. You know how? It's in your eyes.

They speak with no lies masking them. They say the truth. The tongue was made to be controlled, the eyes are not.

And I know that what you just said is absolute truth. For that, I will allow you to be with us for a couple of days and then I shall decide if I will let you on board. Sound like a plan? Or rather, a deal? Great.

Then let's get started.
