Tilda Swinton: The Ancient One

Quotes 

• Bruce Banner : I'm looking for Dr. Strange.

  The Ancient One : You're five years early.

• The Ancient One : I'd be careful going that way, we just had the floors waxed.

  Hulk : Hey, I'm looking for Doctor Strange.

  The Ancient One : You're about... 5 years too early. Stephen Strange is currently performing surgery 20 blocks that way. What do you want from him?

  Hulk : [Points at the Eye of Agamotto]  That, actually.

  The Ancient One : [Looks down at the Eye of Agamotto]  Ahh! I'm afraid not.

  Hulk : Sorry, but I wasn't asking.

  The Ancient One : You don't want to do this.

  Hulk : Ah, you're right, I don't. But I need that stone and I don't have time to b...

  The Ancient One : [Hits Hulk in the chest, pushing Banner's Astral Body out of Hulk's body. Banner looks at The Ancient One in shock]  Let's start over, shall we?

• Bruce Banner : [pleading with The Ancient One for the time stone...]  Please, please, please...

  The Ancient One : I'm sorry, I can't help you, Bruce. If I give up the time stone to help your reality, I'm dooming my own.

  Bruce Banner : With all due respect, I'm not sure that science really supports that.

  The Ancient One : The Infinity stones create what you experience as the flow of time. Remove one stone and that flow splits. Now, this may benefit your reality but my new one, not so much. In this new branched reality, without our chief weapon against the forces of darkness, our world will be over run. Millions will suffer. So, tell me Doctor, can your science prevent all that?

  Bruce Banner : No, but we can erase it. Because once we are done with the stones, we can return each one to it's own time line at the moment it was taken. So, chronologically, in that reality, they never left.

  The Ancient One : But you are leaving out the most important part. In order to return the stones, you have to survive.

  Bruce Banner : We will, I will. I promise.

  The Ancient One : I can't risk this reality on a promise. It is the duty of the Sorcerer Supreme to protect the time stone.

  Bruce Banner : Then, why the hell did Strange give it away?

  The Ancient One : What did you say?

  Bruce Banner : Strange, he gave it away. He gave it to Thanos.

  The Ancient One : Willingly?

  Bruce Banner : Yes.

  The Ancient One : Why?

  Bruce Banner : I have no idea. Maybe he made a mistake.

  The Ancient One : Or, I did. Strange was meant to be the best of us.

  Bruce Banner : So he must have done it for a reason?

  The Ancient One : I fear you might be right.

  Bruce Banner : [the Ancient One hands over the Time stone to Hulk]  . Thank you.

  The Ancient One : I am counting on you, Bruce. We all are.
