Steve: Of course *leaves*
Thor, leaning over Loki’s coffin: Now listen, I know you’re not dead.
Loki: Yeah no shit

Thor, leaning over Loki’s boat before it’s to be put out to sea and burned: Now listen, I know you’re not dead.
Loki: No shit Sherlock, now help me out. I’ve got a substitute corpse I need to swap in before these fools light me on fire.
