Fantastic Four

Susan Storm:
Look at me!

Reed Richards:
I can't

Johnny Storm:
You know that looked cool!

Susan Storm:
Victor, you always thought you were a god.

Victor Von Doom:
Let's not fight.

Susan Storm:
No. Let's.

Victor Von Doom:
That's terrible news.

Victor Von Doom:
I think I'll get a second opinion.

Ben Grimm:
It's clobberin' time.

Susan Storm:
You don't want to walk around on fire for the rest of your life, do you?

Johnny Storm:
Is that a trick question?

Victor:
Maybe you should have stayed back in the lab. Field work never suited you.

Ben:
He does the talking, I do the walking. Got it?

Victor:
So take a walk, Ben...

Ben :
Can't do it. I cannot do it.

Reed:
External SRBs, orbital system engines. Its just like the shuttles you flew in -

Ben:
No. I cannot take orders from the underwear model. That wingnut washed out of NASA for sneaking two Victoria Secret wannabes into a flight simulator.

Reed:
Youthful high spirits.

Ben:
They crashed it into a wall. A flight simulator.

Reed:
When have I asked you to do something you absolutely said you couldn't –

Ben:
Five times.

Reed:
...I had it at four.

Ben:
Well this makes five!

Doom:
did you say goodbye to your brother Johnny? It's time to end this!

Ben:
[Grimm, transformed back into the Thing, crashes through the roof] No, Vic–IT'S CLOBBERIN' TIME!

Ben:
What's wrong with me?

Johnny:
I swear they've done everything humanly possible. The best plastic surgeons in the world, Ben. You had the best -

Ben:
(getting frantic) Give me a mirror...

Johnny:
They said that's not such a good idea, the shock alone could –

Ben:
I said give me the goddamn mirror!

(Ben finally sees his face, it looks completely normal)

Johnny:
(beginning to laugh) Unfortunately, the doctors just couldn't do anything to fix your face.

Sue:
(to Reed) Look at me.

Reed:
(looking up and seeing, or not seeing that Sue has turned invisible) I can't.

Sue:
What do you mean you can't?! Look at me!

Reed:
Sue, look at your hands!

Johnny:
(with his shirt off, being given a physical by Reed and Sue) I think we have a serious problem.

(Sue turns invisible and starts to undress, then turns visible again)

Reed:
Wow. You've been working out.

Sue:
Shut up!

Johnny:
Wait. You mean we won't be able to turn on and off? That would save time.

Sue:
You don't want walk around on fire for the rest of your life, do you?

Johnny:
Is that a trick question?

Sue:
Grow up.

Johnny:
Come on! Am I the only guy who thinks this is cool?

Sue:
Johnny, say you're sorry.

(Johnny throws a fireball at Ben)

Ben:
Did you just--

(Johnny throws another fireball at Ben)

Ben:
That's it, Tinker Bell! YOU WANNA FLY?!

Reed:
No, Ben.

Ben:
THEN FLY!!!

(Ben punches through Reed's body to lauch Johnny into the Burger King sign)

Sue:
Wait a minute, guys. Ben, don't do this.

(Ben growls at Johnny)

Johnny:
Let's see if we can get blood from a stone.

Sue:
Johnny?

Ben:
Let's see. Bring it, Burnout.

Reporter:
So what can you tell us about the outfit?

Johnny:
(on tv) Not too much, but I will say that it's all weather and no leather. Kind of Armani meets Astronaut.

(Ben, Sue, and Reed stare at the wall-sized TV, mouths agape.)

Sue:
He didn't.

Ben:
Oh, yes he did. Flame-boy never listens.

Sue:
What did he do to his uniform?

(Reed looks down at his own uniform, to Johnny's uniform on the TV, which has the same insignia, and surreptitiously tries to cover his insignia with his jacket)

Reporter:
So what are your superhero names?

Johnny:
They call me the Human Torch. Ladies call me Torch.

Reporter:
What about the rest of the team?

Johnny:
[points to a visual] That's the Invisible Girl.

Sue:
'Girl'..?

Reporter:
That's easy to remember. And Reed Richards? I heard they call him Mr. Fantastic. And can he really stretch any part of his anatomy?

(Cheers from the female members of the public behind them)

Johnny:
Well, I've always found him to be a little limp.

(Another cheer from the people behind them)

Ben:
Could be worse.

Reporter:
What is that? What is that thing?

Johnny:
That's it. The Thing. If you think that's bad you should have seen him before.

Ben:
Okay – now I'm gonna go kill him.

Susan:
We gotta get out of here.

Johnny:
I got an idea.

Susan:
Don't even think about it.

Johnny:
Never do. (jumps off the building) FLAME ON!

Victor:
Susan, let's not fight.

Sue:
No. Let's.

[Ben and Leonard walk into the lab where Victor is.]

Victor:
Ben. Come in.

[Ben and Leonard stop walking.]

Ben:
What is this? Where's Reed?

Victor:
Where do you think? With Sue.

[Ben turns to Leonard.]

Victor:
I'll take it from here, Leonard.

Leonard:
Yes, sir.

[As Leonard turns around and walks towards the elevator, Ben turns to Victor and walks up to him.]

Ben:
What do you want, Vic?

Victor:
To help you. The machine– is ready.

Ben:
[Walks closer] But Reed said it wouldn't be–

Victor:
He also said we'd avoid that storm in space. But we all know how that turned out. He couldn't generate enough power for the machine to reach critical mass. Yet another mistake for Mr. Fantastic.

Ben:
[Walks closer] And you can?

Victor:
Yes. Tell me, do you want to be Ben Grimm again?

[Ben looks down at his hands, then closes his eyes. He opens his eyes and looks up at Victor. The doors of the machine open. Ben steps inside the machine. He turns around to see Victor before the doors close. Victor sets the machine to its highest level, then presses a button on the machine. The levels rise as Ben groans from inside the machine just before the equipment begins to power down. Walking over to the containment area of the machine, Victor opens it, revealing a miniture storm. As the storm swirled around, Victor reaches inside the containment unit and uses his powers to power up the machine, causing lightning to flow from inside the containment unit and into the machine. The machine's power levels rise higher and higher as Ben's screams fill the air. As the cosmic energy flowed through Victor and the machine, lights began to flash through the lab and the top of the building, causing the lights in the building to flicker. In Reed's bedroom, Reed is lying on a bed when he slowly opens his eyes and notices the lights flicker. Sue is looking through a medicine cabinet when she notices the lights flicker. In Times Square, Johnny sees lights flashing through the building and runs to it.]

Reed Richards:
I swear to you, I will do everything in my power until there's not a breath left in me. You're going to be Ben again.

Reed Richards:
Victor is not that bad. He's just... larger than life.

Reed Richards:
You need to control yourself, and think before you act.

Reed Richards:
A few days in space. What's the worst that could happen?

Reed Richards:
Ben Grimm is a genuine American hero.

Reed Richards:
Exposure to a high energy cosmic storm could advance our knowledge of planetary life.

Reed Richards:
I found a broken gasket from space.

Reed Richards:
Time for your lesson – Chem 101. What happens when you rapidly cool hot metal?

Sue Storm:
That's my nose, genius. These are my lips.

Sue Storm:
You really think those people out there care about you? You're just a fad to them, Johnny!

Sue Storm:
Any more bright ideas? Why don't you strip down and have a hundred people stare at you?!

Johnny Storm:
Digital camera: $254. Memory stick: $59. The look on your hard-ass former CO's grill when he finds out he's your junior officer: priceless.

Johnny Storm:
(sarcastically) Wow, Dr. Phil, that's deep. Let's think about that for a moment.

Johnny Storm:
Don't wander off now, boy.

Johnny Storm:
(Nurse; You're hot!) Why thank you, so are you. And, I'm not afraid to cry.

Johnny Storm:
At what time do you get off work? (Nurse replies and he answers) Tell you what? You meet me at 4:01, it'll give you a minute to freshen up.

Johnny Storm:
(to Nurse, after giving her back her thermometer) This is yours. (kisses her on the lips) That's mine.

Johnny Storm:
Nurses. (whispering as he exits the room)

Johnny Storm:
My future wife!

Johnny Storm:
Guys! Guys!? (is stared at for being naked only wearing a wrapped coat around his waist) I can explain.

Johnny Storm:
Look, look! (is snapping his fingers to ignite a flame akin to a zippo, repeats to turn off the flame ignited by the snapping) Now picture that. But everywhere! (cackles) Cool!

Johnny Storm:
You have been saying that for years.

Johnny Storm:
What? Like we won't be able to turn on and off? (chuckles)That would save time.

Johnny Storm:
Whoa! (after bursting out in flames while being examined by Sue and Richard)

Johnny Storm:
I can go hotter!

Johnny Storm:
Fun Filled! (laughing) You guys are cramping my style.

Johnny Storm:
Sweet! (referring to Sue and Richard's terms of Supernova) Got it. Supernova. Bad. (thumbs up)

Johnny Storm:
Something new? Got it.

Johnny Storm:
Whoa. That's dangerous. I'm okay. I'm fine.

Johnny Storm:
See? That's your problem Reed. You always think you never act.

Johnny Storm:
What if we got these powers for a reason? A higher calling?

Johnny Storm:
Is there any higher?

Johnny Storm:
You guys should accept it... or better yet enjoy it.

Johnny Storm:
Hey! Hey, look! (turns on The Thing action figure and it shouts, 'It's Clobberin' time!)

Johnny Storm:
The guys at the market gave me it.

Johnny Storm:
(after The Thing crushes the action figure) Awww! That was the prototype!

Johnny Storm:
Look, Sue, I'm sorry. I can't stand this freak show. I gotta get back to the real world.

Johnny Storm:
Sue, stop. You're not mom. Don't talk to me like I'm a little boy, okay?

Johnny Storm:
If you guys are jealous, that's fine. I didn't expect it to come from you, though.

Johnny Storm:
Let's try something new. You live your life, I'll live mine. Sound good? Oh, and just for the record, they love me!

Johnny Storm:
Oh, no.

Johnny Storm:
(To The Thing): Where are your ears?

Johnny Storm:
Come on..! Come on! FLAME ON!

Johnny Storm:
You miss me?

Johnny Storm:
Whoa. Ladies. I need names and shots. Bartender!

Johnny Storm:
FLAME ON!

Ben Grimm:
Typical of Victor Von Doom to build a 30 foot statue of himself.

Ben Grimm:
Reed. It was a freak of nature. You couldn't have possibly predicted it. Let it go.

Ben Grimm:
Do I have to do everything myself? (referring to getting Reed and Sue back together)

Ben Grimm:
Okay. Now I'm gonna go kill him. (after Johnny calls him "The Thing" on TV)

Ben Grimm:
Johnny! (after Johnny makes him put shaving cream on his face)

Ben Grimm:
A face that's about to be broken!

Ben Grimm:
It ain't him. It's THEM! I can't live like this.

Ben Grimm:
Did you just? (after is hit in the face with a ball of flame)

Ben Grimm:
That's it Tinkerbell! You want to fly? Then fly!

Ben Grimm:
What did I do? (questioning his actions after realizing Victor von Doom kidnapped Reed)

Ben Grimm:
Damn, I've been waiting to do that.

Ben Grimm:
Debs... it's me... it's still me.

Ben Grimm:
Don't do drugs!

Ben Grimm:
Yeah – I have that effect on people.

Ben Grimm:
Good thing you're flexible enough to watch your own back... 'cause I ain't doing it no more.

Ben Grimm:
How long, Reed?

Ben Grimm:
You don't know what it's like out there. Walking around like some kind of circus freak. People staring, whispering...

Ben Grimm:
How bad is it? You know, I used to smoke.

Ben Grimm:
Don't trouble your tiny little mind.

Ben Grimm:
I said, give me that goddamn mirror!

Ben Grimm:
Little buttons!

Ben Grimm:
Hey! You think you got problems, you take a good look, pal.

Ben Grimm:
(A man is avoiding him because of his appearance) You know what? Fine. Wanna be scared? FINE!!!

Ben Grimm:
You got no idea what I'd... what I'd give to be invisible.

Ben Grimm:
I spent my whole life protecting you, and for what?! So you could play Twister with your girlfriend while I'M THE FREAK OF THE WEEK??!!

Ben Grimm:
I'll take the stairs.

Ben Grimm:
You guys look like an '80s rock band...

Ben Grimm:
I can handle the ship. I can even handle Mr. Blond ambition. But I don't know if I should be flying or doing Swan Lake in these suits.

Victor Von Doom:
Susan, every man dreams he'll meet a woman he can give the world to. In my case, that's not just a metaphor.

Victor Von Doom:
I don't want to understand it!

Victor Von Doom:
Pay your damn electric bill and get to work on finding a cure.

Victor Von Doom:
Reed. Time for your lesson on Chemistry 101. What happens to rubber when super cooled?

Victor Von Doom:
Let's check back in with the rest of the family. Shall we?

Victor Von Doom:
Two down. Two to go.

Victor Von Doom:
How romantic.

Victor Von Doom:
Marco...Polo. Marco-- (is hit with a force field by Sue)

Victor Von Doom:
And to think I was about to share my life with you.

Victor Von Doom:
Did you say good bye to your brother Johnny?

Victor Von Doom:
This is gonna be fun. Aaargh!

Victor Von Doom:
Reed? I'll be right with you. (after Mr. Fantastic gets his attention invisible force field prevents him from finishing The Thing with a solid light pole) Sue?

Victor Von Doom:
You three are pathetic!

Victor Von Doom:
Is that the best you can do? A little heat?

Victor Von Doom:
Call me...Doom.
