Bruce: "Cap?"
(Pause)
Steve: "Who is this?"
Bruce: "It's (deep breath), it's me."

Bruce: "No it's me. (pause and another deep breath) It's Bruce."
(Long pause)

Steve: "Where, (pause) where have you been?"
Bruce: "It's a long story. How have you been?"
Steve: "Fine, everything's...wait."
Bruce: "Tony said you guys broke up, like a band, like, like the Beatles."
Steve: "The Beatles?"
Bruce: "They were like a boy band."
(Pause)
Bruce: "You know like music?"
Steve: "Where's Tony?"
Bruce: "Well, um, we kind of got attacked."
Steve: "Attacked?"
Bruce: "By aliens."
Steve: "Aliens?"
Bruce: "Tony's on their spaceship. Um, he's gone."
Steve: "You're not really making sense. Maybe we should meet somewhere."
Bruce: "Cap, Thanos is coming."
Steve: "Who's Thanos?"
Bruce: "He's this huge alien. He's a plague, he takes whole planets, destroys populations.
The attack on New York. That's him."
Steve: "Okay. We'll be right there."
Bruce: "No, Tony lost Vision. You need to go find him."
Steve: "What do you mean Tony lost Vision?"
Bruce: "Vision turned off his transmitter, and Tony can't find him."
Steve: "Can't or won't?"
Bruce: "Well right now he's on an alien spaceship so I'm gonna go with can't. He thought you
could find him."
Steve: "And the Hulk couldn't beat these aliens? I mean, I saw what you did to the Chitauri."
(Awkward pause)
Bruce: "We're kind of going through something."
(Another awkward pause)
Steve: "Okay, sorry that's fine."
Bruce: "How's Sokovia?"

Steve: "Yes it is. Where were you?"
Bruce: "On Sakaar. That's, uh, in space."
(Pause)
Bruce: "I was kind of the Hulk for seven years."
(Silence)
Bruce: "The Hulk got into these big colosseum fights for show. I was there for all those years until Thor showed up."
Steve: "Thor?"
Bruce: "Cap, he's dead. Thanos killed him."
(Quiet exclamation of disturbed surprise)
Steve: "Where are you?"
Bruce: "New York."
Steve: "I'm taking my team to go find Vision. I want you to go back to the tower. I think Rhodey's there, catch him up okay?"
Bruce: "Yeah, got it. Hey Cap? How's Nat?"
(Awkward Pause)
Steve: "She's in good health."
Bruce: "...Good."
Steve: "Bye Bruce, see you soon."
Bruce: "Be careful, Cap."
Steve: "You too. And Bruce, I'm glad you're back."
