SELVIG: The scepter. NATASHA: Doctor. SELVIG: Loki's scepter. The energy...the Tesseract can't fight. You can't protect against yourself. NATASHA: It's not your fault. You didn't know what you were doing. SELVIG: ...well, actually, I think I did. I built in a safety to cut the power source.
Then follows the explanation about how the scepter should be able to disrupt the tesseract. I'm not sure how helpful it actually is in getting a sense of the brainwashing, although "You can't protect against yourself" might go along pretty well to the indication that part of the scepter's brainwashing was pulling from each person's own personality.
I started to transcribe the post-brainwashing convo, but there are a couple of lines I just cannot get due to mumbliness, so I'm not sure if it would be useful?
