[after Blake insults him, Thor smiles and laughs]

Thor:
Blake, you have courage and wit!

[Thor puts his hand on the side of Blake's neck firmly]

Thor:
Now *there* is a side of you I like... Odin knows why.

Donald Blake:
Yeah. Odin. That's what I want to talk to you about. Why are we...

Thor:
Do you know what it is like to be without flesh, Blake?

Donald Blake:
No, I don't.

[with his back to Blake, Thor takes off his helmet with his hands and then he turns to Blake, upset]

Thor:
Without flesh that you can feel? Without blood pumping through your limbs, with no heart and no chest *to hold it?*

[as he walks to Blake, Thor sets his helmet on the table]

Thor:
And still at the same time to be awake. Not sleeping. Not dead. Not anything. A place of mist and smoke, darkness. Alone, as if in some... terrible dream. And then... then, Blake... to hear the call. Like a war horn in battle. And then, to awaken as you were, when men and women ate life with shining teeth!

[Thor smiles and Blake looks confused as Thor's smile fades and Thor sadly pauses]

Thor:
None of them are left now.

[Blake looks away and looks down, a little sad]

Thor:
But I am what I always will be. And I need to drink. Eat. Laugh with a woman, fight with a man! Just a taste, Blake, and then - then you can ask questions until Odin's missing eye returns!

Donald Blake:
I, I didn't - I never thought about it that way. I didn't - I didn't begin to know what it was like. I didn't know. But still, how are we...

Thor:
How? *Why?* How am I here, now?

[Blake thinks about it for a moment, he smiles and then chuckles]

Donald Blake:
Thor, you actually have a point there.

[Thor sighs]

Thor:
Odin made you my guide in this place, and for *humility's* sake, I must follow your lead. Hell, then *lead!*

[David picks up a tray and he walks off into the kitchen]

Maggie Shaw:
You sound like you're protecting me from something.

Doctor David Banner:
What could I possibly be protecting you from?

[Maggie sits on a chair and she looks at David in the kitchen]

Maggie Shaw:
The monster in you, maybe?

[David looks at Maggie, a bit nervous]

Doctor David Banner:
Monster?

Maggie Shaw:
Yes. You remember, you told me once, that before we met, you'd gone through a long period of self-destructive behavior. You didn't go into any details, even though I tried *all* my feminine wiles.

Doctor David Banner:
Yes, you did.

Maggie Shaw:
But you called it your monster. Your Mr. Hyde.

Doctor David Banner:
It's been two years since my "Mr. Hyde" has shown his ugly face. Why are you concerned now?

Maggie Shaw:
You were very restless in your sleep again last night. It worries me when you're like that. I feel like I can't do anything to help yuo.

Doctor David Banner:
You help me more than I can ever tell you.

Maggie Shaw:
Try, please. I think I need that too this morning.

Doctor David Banner:
Okay. I use you.

[Maggie looks unnerved]

Doctor David Banner:
Your image. For control, I concentrate on you. As the old song goes, and I make it through.

[David walks around into the living room to join Maggie]

Doctor David Banner:
It's a little like A.A., I suppose. You get through one nightmare at a time.

Maggie Shaw:
Well, it was the same for me after Michael died.

[Maggie stands up and faces David]

Maggie Shaw:
But I survived by losing control, by just letting loose.

Doctor David Banner:
Some things, Maggie, you can't just "let loose."
