Nazi's Are Kinda A Bitch
The students took a minute to stare at each other, horrified. The screen however, gave them no such break.
[At HYDRA HQ]
Hutter: The Führer is not accustomed to being ignored, Herr Schmidt. He funds your research because you promised him weapons.
Samantha scoffeded. “That’s because Hitler is a punck ass bitch.”
Schneider: You serve at his pleasure. He gave you this facility as a reward for your injuries.
Johann Schmidt: Reward? Call it what it is. Exile. I no longer reflect his image of Aryan perfection.
Abe snorted. “Oh yes, prize your whiteness. Nothing like colonization and skin cancer to get the blood pumping, am I right?”
Roeder: You think this is about appearances? Your HYDRA division has failed to deliver so much as a rifle in over a year. And we had learned through local intelligence you had mounted a full-scale incursion into Norway.
Schneider: The Führer feels… How does he put it? "The Red Skull has been indulged long enough!"
Johann Schmidt: Gentlemen, you have come to see the results of our work. Let me show you. [They enter the lab.] Hitler speaks of a thousand-year Reich, but he cannot feed his army for a month. His troops spill their blood across every field in Europe. But still he is no closer to achieving his goals.
Roeder: And I suppose you still aim to end this war through magic?
Johann Schmidt: Science. But I understand your confusion. Great power has always baffled primitive men. HYDRA is assembling an arsenal to destroy my enemies in one stroke. Where ever they are, regardless of how many forces they possess. All in a matter of hours.
MJ couldn’t help but roll her eyes. That was such a fucking condescending way of speaking to subordinates.
Roeder: Your enemies?
Johann Schmidt: My weapons contain enough destructive power to decimate every hostile capital on earth. Quite simply, gentlemen, I have harnessed the power of the Gods.
Schneider: Thank you, Schmidt.
Johann Schmidt: For what?
Schneider: For making it clear how obviously mad you are.
Hutter: [studying a map lying in Schmidt’s labor.] Berlin is on this map!
Johann Schmidt: So it is.
Hutter: You will be punished for your insolence! You will be brought before the Führer himself! [Schmidt kills them all with his new Tesseract-powered canon.]
All of the students immediately sobered at the needless and intense display of violence.
Roeder: [screams before he’s desintegrated] Schmidt!!!
Johann Schmidt: My apolpgies, Doctor, but we both knew HYDRA could grow no further in Hitler’s shadow. Hail HYDRA.
HYDRA technicians: Hail HYDRA! [raising both arms to salute]
Dr. Arnim Zola: [when Schmidt turns to him] Hail HYDRA!
Samantha shuddered. “I hate Hydra.”
“Me too,” Abe whispered.
[At the SSR compound.]
Steve Rogers: [referring to the amount of blood samples taken from him] Think you got enough?
One of the seniors blanched. “That’s...a lotta blood.”
Peggy Carter: Any hope of reproducing a program is locked in your genetic code. But without Dr. Erskine, it could take years.
Steve Rogers: He deserved more than this.
Peggy Carter: If it could only work once, he’d be proud it was you.
[SSR tech lab with the Hydra submarine]
Senator Brandt: Colonel Phillips, my committee is demanding answers.
Col. Chester Phillips: Great. Why don’t we start with how a German spy got a ride to my secret installation in your car? [to Stark who is working on the submarine] What have we got here?
Howard Stark: Speaking modestly, I’m the best mechanical engineer in this country. But I don’t know what’s inside this thing or how it works. We’re not even close to this technology.
Senator Brandt: Then who is?
Col. Chester Phillips: HYDRA. I’m sure you’ve been reading our briefings.
Senator Brandt: I’m on a number of committees, Colonel.
Peggy Carter: HYDRA is the Nazi deep science division. It’s led by Johann Schmidt. But he has much bigger ambitions.
Col. Chester Phillips: HYDRA’s practically a cult. They worship Schmidt, they think he’s invincible.
“Damn right it’s a cult,” one of the older boys muttered to himself.
Senator Brandt: So what are you gonna do about it?
Col. Chester Phillips: Spoke to the president this morning. As of today the SSR is being retasked.
Peggy Carter: Colonel?
Col. Chester Phillips: We are taking the fight to HYDRA. Pack your bags Agent Carter. You too, Stark. You’re flying to London tonight.
With those words, a woop erupted from the students.
Steve Rogers: Sir, if you’re going after Schmidt, I want in.
Col. Chester Phillips: You’re an experiment. You’re going to Alamogordo.
Steve Rogers: The serum worked.
Col. Chester Phillips: I asked for an army and all I got was you. You are not enough.
Senator Brandt: [to Steve] With all due respect to the Colonel, I think we may be missing the point. I’ve seen you in action, Steve. More importantly, the country’s seen it. [to his aide] Paper.[the aide shows them the news paper (‘The New York Examiner’ Vol. XCVII No. 33.634, Wednesday, June 23, 1943), headlines: "Nazis in New York - mystery man saves child"] The enlistment lines have been around the block since your picture hit the newsstands. You don’t take a soldier, a symbol like that, and hide him in a lab. Son, do you want to serve your country on the most important battlefield of the war?
Steve Rogers: Sir, that’s all I want.
Senator Brandt: Then, congratulations. You just got promoted.
“Wait...is this…” Abe breathed.
Betty brant nodded excitedly. “Showgirl Captain America.”
