Hulk/Transcript

: David Banner: There's simply no way to shield against every weaponized agent. Instead, I can make super immune systems by strengthening the human cellular response.
: General Ross: Banner, I know where you're going, but manipulating the immune system is dangerous and stupid. The President's science advisors made it absolutely clear: no human subjects.
: Edith Banner: David, I have wonderful news. I'm gonna have a baby.
: David Banner: What's it gonna be? Oh, look at that, Bruce. Huh? Want a dinosaur? Come on, let's have a little fight. Come on. Rrrr, you don't scare me. That's a delicious eyeball. Oh, you're big and green and scary. I'm gonna run away.
: Mother: Really. Speaking of Cheryl, guess what-
: Edith Banner: Bruce, you're hurt!
: Boy: Jack hit him with the stick, but Bruce wouldn't hit him back. He just stood there, shaking.
: Edith Banner: (Whispers) It's okay.
: Mother: Strange he didn't make a peep. Any other kid would have wailed his head off.
: Edith Banner: That's Bruce. He's like that. He's just so... bottled up.
: General Ross: The samples we found in your lab, they were human blood. You've ignored protocol.
* David Banner: You had no right snooping around in my lab. That's my business.
* General Ross: Wrong, Banner. It's government business and you're off the project.
* Speaker: Attention all personnel: fail-safe has been initiated. Gamma decontamination will occur in thirty minutes. Evacuate immediately. I repeat, evacuate immediately!
* David Banner: Edith.
* Edith Banner: David, what's going on?
* David Banner: I gotta talk to you, Edith.
* Edith Banner: Bruce, stay here! What are you doing? What's going on? David, please stop it! No! David, no!
* Mrs. Krenzler: Bruce, Bruce. Wake up, son. Bruce, Bruce. Another nightmare?
* Bruce Banner: I don't know. I don't remember.
* Mrs. Krenzler: Already off to college. Gonna miss you terribly.
* Bruce Banner: I'll miss you, too.
* Mrs. Krenzler: Please, come here. Look at you. Soon to be a great scientist.
* Bruce Banner: I guess. I mean, who knows?
* Mrs. Krenzler: There's something inside you... so special. Some kind of greatness. I'm sure. Someday you're gonna share it with the whole world.
* Security Guard: As far as I'm concerned, security ought to be beefed- Good morning, Dr. Krenzler! Security ought to be beefed up a lot more. In a place like this, you can't be too careful.
* Harper: Bruce! Big day. Did you sleep? I didn't sleep.
* Bruce Banner: Slept okay. Is Betty here?
* Harper: She's around. I really got to say, seeing you in that styling headwear.
* Bruce Banner: You're implying something about my helmet?
* Harper: You look like a massive nerd, even around other scientists. Can just I ask? Were you wearing the helmet while she dumped you?
* Bruce Banner: See? It protects my very important brain, Harper. Go prep the samples.
* Betty Ross: Hey, I found you.
* Bruce Banner: Betty, hey.
* Betty Ross: I hate them.
* Bruce Banner: Wait, I just got here. Who do we hate?
* Betty Ross: The review board. We have to make a presentation on Tuesday.
* Bruce Banner: Ah.
* Betty Ross: And you're gonna make it with me.
* Bruce Banner: You think I should?
* Betty Ross: Yeah, you're great with that stuff. Start talking about microbes and nanomeds. You sound almost... passionate. Sorry, that was rude.
* Bruce Banner: Nobody expects us to be easy. Just working together after being... so close.
* Betty Ross: We were close?
* Bruce Banner: Look, if I could be more... whatever, you know, like... just...
* Betty Ross: Don't. It's not your fault, really. It's just a byproduct of my inexplicable obsession with emotionally distant men. It'll get over us.
* Bruce Banner: Good for you.
* Betty Ross: Anyway, I'm just really stressed about this review. If we don't get impressive results today, we're gonna have a really hard sell come this Tuesday.
* Bruce Banner: Well, then, let's go be impressive. Harper?
* Harper: Ready when you are.
* Bruce Banner: Let's hit it. Are we passing inspection?
* Harper: Safeties all going green. Countdown's started.
* Betty Ross: Nanomeds released.
* Harper: Four seconds.
* Betty Ross: Okay. Nanomeds fully dispersed.
* Bruce Banner: Okay. Let's hit Freddie with the gamma radiation.
* Harper: Gamma exposure.
* Betty Ross: Nanomeds now active.
* Harper: Nanomeds replicating cells on border.
* Betty Ross: It's working.
* Harper: Cell copy to dissemble ratio holding within one percent. Imbalanced nanomed activity.
* Bruce Banner: You wanna go to the review board on Monday and tell' em we've developed a brand-new method for exploding frogs?
* Betty Ross: Yeah, I think maybe there's a market for it. I mean, what if there's a plague?
* Bruce Banner: What have you had, Betty, like, one beer?
* Betty Ross: I'm just say-- I'm just saying, you know, frogs start falling from the sky, who do they come to? We'd be world-renowned.
* Bruce Banner: Make any parent proud.
* Betty Ross: I bet they would be.
* Bruce Banner: They actually did want me to be a scientist.
* Betty Ross: I mean, your birth parents.
* Bruce Banner: Guess we'll never know.
* Betty Ross: I don't understand why you don't want to find out about them.
* Bruce Banner: They're dead. They died before I can remember anything. I mean, why do you always come back to this?
* Betty Ross: Don't know. I guess I figure there's more to you than you like to show. I guess there couldn't be any less.
* Bruce Banner: Right. So, now we come full circle back to that. Nice work, Betty.
* Major Talbot: Betty.
* Betty Ross: Glenn.
* Major Talbot: Hey.
* Betty Ross: Hi.
* Major Talbot: Hi.
* Betty Ross: What happened to your uniform?
* Major Talbot: Oh, I, uh-- I switched over. I'm still working with your father, but-- Well, you know, the military's subcontracting out all the most interesting work, and-- Can't argue with a paycheck. I basically run all the labs on the base now.
* Betty Ross: Oh.
* Major Talbot: Hey, you're uh-- you're looking good. You're the genetics expert. Ah, the good old college days. So, how's business?
* Betty Ross: What do you want?
* Major Talbot: All right, I'll cut to the chase. I've been hearing interesting things about what you guys are doing here. Your little molecular machines have some incredible implications. How would you like to come work for Atheon? Get paid ten times as much as you earn now and own a piece of the patents. You just have to say the word.
* Betty Ross: Two words: the door.
* Aide Kim: General?
* General Ross: Come in.
* Aide Kim: Talbot wanted you to see this, sir. It's about a lab Atheon is targeting for acquisition and removal to desert base.
* General Ross: Why isn't it going through N.S.C.?
* Aide Kim: It, uh, concerns your daughter, sir.
* Betty Ross: Hi. Sorry. Hey, what happened to Benny? Is he not working the night shift anymore?
* David Banner: Benny's dead. I'm the new guy.
* Betty Ross: Oh. Good to meet you.
* David Banner: Same.
* Bruce Banner: Let's try another.
* Betty Ross: Mmm, no. Stay here. I look tired anyway.
* Bruce Banner: Yeah, but you look great. What's the matter?
* Betty Ross: It's these dreams, Doctor. I keep having them, and they're terrible.
* Bruce Banner: Tell me about your dream.
* Betty Ross: Well, it starts-- it starts with a memory-- I think it's my first memory. It's this image I have from when I was maybe two years old.
* Bruce Banner: Do you think it's just a dream?
* Betty Ross: No, I think it's something that happened when I was living at a desert base with my father. Anyhow, the dream goes on and suddenly, I'm alone.
* Bruce Banner: That was terrible. You know I'd never hurt you. Hey there. What's your name, darling? Eh? What's your name? Okay. It's okay.
* David Banner: I gotta talk to you, Edith.
* Edith Banner: Bruce, stay here!
* David Banner: CTGAG. Bruce. My Bruce.
* Betty Ross: Good morning. Glenn dropped by.
* Bruce Banner: What's he doing here?
* Major Talbot: You know, Dr. Krenzler, you and I have never had the chance to get to know each other properly.
* Bruce Banner: Well, that's because I don't want to get to know you, properly or improperly. So, leave.
* Major Talbot: Hey, no worries. You know, let me give you a little heads-up. There is a hairsbreadth between friendly offer and hostile takeover. I've done my homework. The work you're doing here is dynamite. Think: GIs embedded with technology that makes them instantly repairable on the battlefield in our sole possession. That's a hell of a business.
* Bruce Banner: Well, it's not what we're doing here. We're doing the basic science for everyone.
* Major Talbot: You know, someday I'm gonna write a book and I'm gonna call it "When Stupid Ideals Happen To Smart, Penniless Scientists." In the meantime, Bruce, you will be hearing from me.
* Betty Ross: About Glenn, I, um--
* Bruce Banner: There's nothing to talk about.
* Betty Ross: Okay. I just wanted to say, don't worry about him. I'll handle it.
* Bruce Banner: How?
* Betty Ross: I'm gonna call my father. Ask him to exert some pressure.
* Bruce Banner: Last I heard, you and your father weren't speaking.
* Betty Ross: Hmmm. Well... I guess now I have something to talk with him about.
* Harper: I think this circuit's kind of fried. I don't know. Maybe you wanna come take a look at it.
* Bruce Banner: Okay, I'll be right there.
* Harper: Aah!
* Betty Ross: The gamma's too high! Bruce, I can't stop it!
* Bruce Banner: Harper, get out!
* Betty Ross: Get out!
* Bruce Banner: How's Harper?
* Betty Ross: He's alright. He's safe. But I don't think he's coming back to the lab for while, though. I don't understand how this is possible. You should be dead.
* Bruce Banner: They worked. The nanomeds. I mean, I feel great. I feel like, I don't know. They must have, like, fixed me.
* Betty Ross: Bruce, they've killed everything else they've come into contact with. Are you sure the doctor checked?
* Bruce Banner: The doctor gave me the full workup. He wants to know where he can get what I'm taking. I'm a hundred percent... more.
* Betty Ross: What do you mean?
* Bruce Banner: Remember my bad knee? Well, now, it's my good knee.
* Betty Ross: Bruce, this isn't funny. I was watching you. You were going to die and I was going to have to watch you die.
* Bruce Banner: Betty, I'm sorry. Really. Hey, I'm not going to explode, okay?
* Betty Ross: Yeah.
* Bruce Banner: You should get some rest. And I'm fine, really. I've never felt better.
* David Banner: Your name is not Krenzler. It's Banner.
* Bruce Banner: What?
* David Banner: Your name. It's Banner. Bruce Banner. Bruce.
* Bruce Banner: How did you get in here?
* David Banner: I work here now. In the labs. The late shift. It keeps me close to you. You always work so late yourself with your friend Miss Ross. No, no, no. Please. Please. Let me. You're not well. You've had a terrible accident. You're wondering why you're still alive. You're thinking there's something inside. Something different... inexplicable. I can help you understand, if you'll let me. If you'll... forgive me.
* Bruce Banner: Look, mister, I'm sure I have nothing to forgive you for. So, perhaps you should leave now. I'll be fine.
* David Banner: You must know. You may not want to believe it, but I can see it... in your eyes. So much like your mother's. Of course, you're my flesh and blood. But then, you're something else too, aren't you? My physical son, but the child of my mind, too.
* Bruce Banner: No. You're lying. My parents died when I was a small boy.
* David Banner: No, no, no, no. That's not true, that's not true. That's what they wanted you to believe. The experiments, the accident-- all top secret. They put me away for thirty years. Thirty years. Away from you. Away from our work. But they couldn't keep me forever. After all, I'm sane. They had to admit it. You see, everything... your extraordinary mind has been seeking all these years... it's been inside you. Now, we will understand it. We will harness it. [The phone rings] No, don't answer it. It's Miss Ross again. There's something you need to know about her, Bruce. Something troublesome. Let me protect you from her.
* Bruce Banner: No. Get out.
* David Banner: Bruce-
* Bruce Banner: Get out! [The dogs bark and snarl at Bruce]
* David Banner: Sit! We're gonna have to watch that... temper of yours.
* Betty Ross: You sure you're okay?
* Bruce Banner: Yeah, just glad to be out of bed.
* Betty Ross: Got a message from my father. He's coming to see me.
* Bruce Banner: Your father?
* Betty Ross: Mmm.
* Bruce Banner: When?
* Betty Ross: Lands in about an hour. The funny thing is, he called me. Hi, dad.
* General Ross: Hello, Betty.
* Waitress: Here, ma'am.
* Betty Ross: Thanks.
* Waitress: You're welcome. Sir?
* General Ross: Thank you.
* Waitress: You're welcome.
* General Ross: Look, I'm gonna get right to it.
* Betty Ross: It's about Glenn, isn't it? He's been snooping around my lab.
* General Ross: Glenn noticed some things, asked me to make some inquiries.
* Betty Ross: Are you here to question me?
* General Ross: No. We've turned up some surprising things. This Krenzler you work with-- you know who he really is? How much do you actually know about him?
* Betty Ross: I think the question is, what is it that you know about him?
* General Ross: Well, right now, I'm not at--
* Betty Ross: Not at liberty to disclose it to me. Right, right. You know, I think I was hoping that... maybe this time you just... honestly wanted to see me again.
* General Ross: You've got this all wrong, Betty.
* Betty Ross: Do I?
* General Ross: Yes. I do want to see you.
* Betty Ross: I really wish that I could believe you.
* David Banner: Everything... your extraordinary mind has been seeking all these years... it's been inside you.
* Bruce Banner: Hi, you've called Dr. Krenzler. Please leave a message and I'll call you right back.
* Betty Ross: [phone message] Bruce, hey. Are you there? Look, um, I think I screwed up. My father-- It's like he suspects you of something. I don't know. I was so impatient, like always. I didn't hear him out. I don't know, I-- I just think that they're planning something with the lab. So, um, uh-- Call me. Okay? Bye.
* Bruce Banner: Betty? Betty!?
* Security Guard: Dispatch! Dispatch! We have a 415 at the lab! Send the Berkeley P.D. now! Send 'em now!
* Officer: Watch out!
* David Banner: Edith.
* Edith Banner: David, what's going on?
* David Banner: I gotta talk to you, Edith.
* Edith Banner: Bruce, stay here!
* David Banner: Bobby Bruce. My Bruce.
* Betty Ross: Bruce? There was some sort of explosion. They wouldn't let us into the building. I was worried about you.
* Bruce Banner: Well, I'm okay.
* Betty Ross: What happened to you last night?
* Bruce Banner: I had the most vivid dream. It was like being born. Coming up for air. Light hitting my face. Screaming. My heartbeat-- it was like, boom... boom... boom.
* Betty Ross: Were you at the lab?
* Bruce Banner: No, but something... and there was that man. The one with the dogs.
* Betty Ross: Who?
* Bruce Banner: That new janitor. He said he was my father.
* Betty Ross: I'll get it. [Mouthing to herself] My father.
* General Ross: My, my. So, this is the young Bruce Ba-- Krenzler. I think you left something in your lab last night. [He shows Bruce his wallet.] Mitchell, escort my daughter outside. I'll join her shortly.
* Betty Ross: I'd rather stay here.
* General Ross: Now, Betty.
* Bruce Banner: It's okay. I'll be fine.
* General Ross: Keep him under observation. I'll be back.
* Betty Ross: What?
* General Ross: Your friend in there. There's a good chance he's caught up in some very bad business. Unfinished business. And I promise you, I'm gonna get to the bottom of it. You have my word I'll make sure he's cared for. But as of right now, he is incommunicado. And for the next few days at least, you're gonna stay away from here. For your own good.
* Betty Ross: Okay, and that's for the new guy on the night shift, right? Great. Thank you. I appreciate it.
* David Banner: Doctor Ross. How unexpected. Please come in.
* Betty Ross: I'm sorry to just show up at your house like this.
* David Banner: Uh--
* Betty Ross: I came to ask you something that I really have no business asking.
* David Banner: He told you?
* Betty Ross: He said you talked to him.
* David Banner: Oh. Please sit down.
* Betty Ross: Bruce was at the lab last night. He said that you were there too. But he can't remember much about it. I need to find out what happened.
* David Banner: So, you want to know, uh, what's wrong with him... so you can fix him? Cure him, change him.
* Betty Ross: My father's with the military. He seems to think he's involved in some kind of threat to national security.
* David Banner: Mmm. Your father. Ross. You brought your father down upon his head? How little you understand, Miss Ross, and how dangerous your ignorance has become.
* Betty Ross: I'm sorry?
* David Banner: Don't be sorry. My son is... unique. That's why you can't relate to him. And because he is unique, the world will not tolerate his existence. Will they? But you-- you try, don't you? Yes. And a very beautiful woman like you, your attentions... can't be completely unwanted. Can they? No. Not with eyes like yours, watching expectantly, lovingly. But I'm afraid we're both too late to help him. There's nothing I can do for him... or for you. Besides, he's made it clear he wants nothing to do with me. His choice. Now, if you'll excuse me, Miss Ross, I have some work to do. And don't worry about the dogs. You'll be fine. Just don't look 'em in the eyes. Goodbye.
* General Ross: He gets released, and a month later your lab was destroyed. What a coincidence. So you're not gonna tell me where he is, are ya?
* Bruce Banner: How many times do I have to tell you? I'd like to help you, but I just don't know.
* General Ross: You know who I am. Right, Banner?
* Bruce Banner: You're Betty's father. You're a high-ranking general.
* General Ross: Let's cut the crap. I'm the guy who had your father tossed away, and a lot more like him, and I'll do the same to you if I feel so disposed. You understand?
* Bruce Banner: If you had him tossed away, then why are you asking me? I don't remember. I was always told my father was dead.
* General Ross: Don't play with me! You were four years old when you saw it!
* Bruce Banner: When I saw what?
* General Ross: You were right there! How could anyone forget a thing like that?
* Bruce Banner: What?
* General Ross: Oh, some more repressed memories.
* Bruce Banner: Just tell me.
* General Ross: I'm sorry, son. You're an even more screwed-up mess than I thought you'd be. Until we get to the bottom of this, your lab has been declared a top-secret military site and you're not gonna get a security clearance to get back into it... or any other lab that's doing anything more interesting than trying to figure out the next generation of herbal hair gel. And, one more thing. If you ever... come within a thousand yards of my daughter again, I'll put you away for the rest of your natural life.
* David Banner: Dogs! Go! Go get her! And let nothing stand in your way! Go!
* Bruce Banner: Hello?
* David Banner: Bruce? So, they think they can just throw you away as they did me.
* Bruce Banner: What's wrong with me? What did you do to me?
* David Banner: I got a visit today. A very unwelcome visit. I'm afraid my hand is being forced.
* Bruce Banner: What did you do to me?
* David Banner: You so much want to know, don't you? But I think no explanation will serve you half as well as the experience. In any case, I still don't quite understand it myself. If they'd only let me work in peace-- Of course, my betters would have none of that.
* Bruce Banner: So you experimented on yourself, didn't you? And passed on to me... what?
* David Banner: An alteration. Genetic. A deformity. I guess you could call it that. But an amazing strength, too. And now, finally unleashed, I can harvest it.
* Bruce Banner: No. You'll do no such thing. I will isolate it and treat it myself. I'll remove it and I'll kill it before it does any real harm.
* David Banner: Well, I'll be you and your Betty would love to destroy it, but would you really destroy part of yourself? I don't think so. And as for Betty, I'm sending her a surprise visit from some four-legged friends of mine. You see, I managed to culture some of your very own DNA, Bruce, and the results are tremendous. They're unstable, but very powerful.
* Bruce Banner: What about my DNA?
* David Banner: Let's just wait and see what Betty makes of the results, huh?
* Bruce Banner: No. You're crazy! I won't let you.
* Major Talbot: Get your hands off me.
* Bruce Banner: Talbot, what's this--
* Major Talbot: Inside, asshole. I wanna talk to you.
* Bruce Banner: Listen to me, my father's going after Betty--
* Major Talbot: What makes you think you can go behind my back and get Ross to cut me out, huh?
* Bruce Banner: Listen to me! Betty's in trouble!
* Major Talbot: You pathetic freak.
* Bruce Banner: Betty's in danger. I swear to you, she'll be killed.
* Major Talbot: I can state the obvious. Something tells me you aren't in much of a position to be making stupid threats to anyone.
* Bruce Banner: Talbot?
* Major Talbot: Yeah?
* Bruce Banner: You're making me angry.
* Major Talbot: Oh, am I?
* Soldier: I got him! Open fire!
* Betty Ross: Bruce?
* Bruce Banner: He sent these dogs, didn't he? But I killed them!
* Betty Ross: My God. It must be the nanomeds. It must be the gamma exposure, but we've never seen any effect like this before.
* Bruce Banner: No. Deeper. The gamma just unleashed what was already there.
* Betty Ross: Unleashed what?
* Bruce Banner: Me. It.
* Betty Ross: It's okay. Shh. It's okay. What were those animals?
* Bruce Banner: My father sent them. He is my father. He wanted me to change. He wanted me to change into that mindless hulk. Why would he want that?
* Betty Ross: Can you remember anything? Is there anything from when you were changed?
* Bruce Banner: It was like a dream.
* Betty Ross: About what?
* Bruce Banner: Rage. Power. And freedom.
* Aide Kim: Hello? Sir.
* General Ross: Hello.
* Betty Ross: Dad?
* General Ross: Betty! Are you alright?
* Betty Ross: I'm scared. I need your help.
* General Ross: Where are you?
* Betty Ross: How are you?
* Bruce Banner: Okay, I guess.
* Betty Ross: I think that somehow your anger is triggering the nanomeds.
* Bruce Banner: How could it? We designed them to respond to physical damage.
* Betty Ross: Emotional damage can manifest physically.
* Bruce Banner: Like what?
* Betty Ross: Serious trauma. Repressed memories.
* Bruce Banner: Your father grilled me about something that happened to me from early childhood that I'm supposed to remember.
* Betty Ross: He did?
* Bruce Banner: It sounded bad, but... I honestly don't remember.
* Betty Ross: The thing that worries me... is... a physical wound is finite, but with emotions, what's to say it won't just go on and on... and start a chain reaction?
* Bruce Banner: You know what scares me the most? Is it when it happens, when it comes over me, and I totally lose control, I like it. [he was shot by a tranquilizer dart]
* Betty Ross: It's okay. I got you. I'm sorry. You'll be okay. It's just to make you sleep.
* Soldier #1: Target down.
* Soldier #2: Target secure.
* Betty Ross: I'm going to take you someplace safe. Okay? Bruce? Bruce? Bruce?
* Soldier: Clear!
* Lieutenant: Attention on deck.
* General Ross: Carry on.
* Betty Ross: We're buried out here in the middle of nowhere. How long are you going to keep him sedated?
* General Ross: For the rest of his natural life, if I have to.
* Betty Ross: You said I could trust you.
* General Ross: I'm your father. You can trust me to do what I think is right, not what you think you want.
* Betty Ross: He is a human being.
* General Ross: Well, he is also something else. Suppose he gets out, has one of his little mood swings in a populated area.
* Betty Ross: Yes, I'm aware of the potential danger. I'm also aware that he saved my life.
* General Ross: Yeah, from a mutant French poodle. I'm indebted to him for that. He also put three men in a hospital and Talbot's barely walking! I mean, what do you want me to do?!
* Betty Ross: I want you to help him! Why is he such a threat to you?
* General Ross: Because I know what he comes from! He is his father's son, every last molecule of him! He says he doesn't know his father, but he's working in the same exact goddamn field his father did! So, either he's lying or it's something worse, that he's-
* Betty Ross: What? Predestined to follow on his father's footsteps?
* General Ross: I was going to say damned.
* Betty Ross: Of course you were, but I'm a scientist. As a scientist, I believe we can figure this out and he can be helped.
* General Ross: I know you do. Whether you know or care, I've got a lot of pride in what you've done, but this is too big for you.
* Betty Ross: Look, I know the government thinks they have a weapon on their hands, otherwise he'd be dead by now. They can probe and prod all they want. In the meanwhile, just let me try to help him. Nobody knows him better than I do. What did David Banner do to him?
* Soldier #1: Cover left!
* Soldier #2: Clear left.
* Soldier #1: Cover right!
* Security Guard: What's happening here?
* David Banner: My hand! You see, the strength in my son's DNA combined with nanomed reconstruction-- You see, I can partake with the essences of all things.
* Security Guard: Gonna have to ask you to... put your hands up, pal, okay? Nice and easy.
* David Banner: Hahaha. Do you really believe that I am separate from you?
* Bruce Banner: Where am I?
* Betty Ross: You're home. It's hard to believe we used to live here.
* Bruce Banner: I must have seen you or known you. If only I could remember. This is my old house, isn't it? Let's go.
* Betty Ross: Please try. What is it?
* Bruce Banner: Nothing.
* Betty Ross: Really?
* Bruce Banner: Damn it. Okay, Betty... what do you want to know?
* Betty Ross: What was in that room? What are you afraid that I'll see?
* Bruce Banner: See? There's nothing. It's empty.
* Betty Ross: What do you mean, I don't have access to him?
* General Ross: NSA has decided to turn over study of the, uh-- the threat to Atheon.
* Betty Ross: But, you're head of the base. I thought you were in charge.
* General Ross: But I don't set policy, and I still take orders. GRRRAH! I can't believe Talbot would go around me like this! Oh, there's a lot of powerful people that want in on this. And money to be made-- lots of it. You know the worst part about all this? When I had David Banner locked up and sent that kid away, I didn't give that bow a second thought; he was just collateral damage. Well, he isn't anymore, is he?
* Betty Ross: What can I do?
* General Ross: You can go home now. I'd tell you to go and say goodbye, but I've already been informed that for now, all further contact is out of the question.
* Betty Ross: Right.
* Major Talbot: Hiya, Bruce. How ya feeling? Grub okay in here to ya?
* Bruce Banner: What do you want?
* Major Talbot: That's a good question. See, I need your cells to trigger some chemical distress signals. You know, so you can turn a little green for me again and I can carve off a piece of the real you, analyze it, patent it, make a fortune. Do you mind?
* Bruce Banner: I'll never let you.
* Major Talbot: I'm not sure you've got much of a choice. [He abuses Bruce with a cattle prod] Come on, Bruce. Aren't you feeling a little angry? After all, you've only got me to play with now that Betty's dumped you and gone back to Berkeley.
* Bruce Banner: You're lying!
* Major Talbot: You know, for me this is a win-win situation. You turn green, and all these guys come in and kill you and I perform the autopsy. You don't, and I mop the floor with you and maybe by accident, go too far and break your neck. Bad science, maybe... but personally gratifying. Come on, Bruce! Let's see what you got.
* Bruce Banner: Never.
* Major Talbot: You know, consciously, you may control it, but subconsciously, I bet that's another story. Alright, let's jump start those brainwaves.
* Edith Banner: [voice in Bruce's mind] Bruce, stay here!
* Betty Ross: [voice in Bruce's mind] Bruce, I can't stop it! Bruce.
* David Banner: My dear Miss Ross. Welcome back.
* Betty Ross: There are two guards right outside.
* David Banner: You don't have to worry. I'm not angry with you. Not anymore.
* Betty Ross: What do you want?
* David Banner: It's over for me now. I know that. And soon, it'll be over for Bruce. That's why I've come to you. To ask you if you could persuade your father, as a man, as a father himself, that if I turn myself in now, peacefully and before he puts me away forever, that he would let me see my son for one last time. Could you do that for me?
* Betty Ross: It's out of my father's hands now.
* David Banner: I understand. He's a puppet now. I don't blame him.
* Betty Ross: You shouldn't. You should blame yourself for what you've done to your son.
* David Banner: And what have I done to my son, Miss Ross? Nothing. I tried to improve on the limits in myself. Myself, not him! Can you understand? To improve on nature. My nature! Knowledge of oneself! It's the only path to the truth that give men the power to go beyond God's boundaries!
* Betty Ross: You know what's beyond your boundaries? Other people. All you've given Bruce is fear. Fear of life.
* David Banner: Fear? Perhaps, Miss Ross. And loneliness, too. Yes... I feel them both. But I have lived... completely once. I was so much in love, and she so much wanted a baby. My baby. I could tell from the moment she conceived that it wasn't a son I had given her but something else. A monster, maybe. I should have put a stop to it right then, but I was curious and that was my downfall. And as I watched this tiny life unfold, I began to imagine the horror of it and my curiosity was replaced with compassion. But they took away my chance to cure him. Your father threw me out. I remember that day so well, every moment, every sensation, walking into the house, the feeling of the handle of the knife in my hand. I knew I was doing a father's work, fulfilling a father's mercy.
* Edith Banner: David, please stop it! No! David, no!
* David Banner: But then, she surprised me.
* Edith Banner: No! David, no!
* David Banner: It was as if she and the knife merged. You cannot imagine the unbearable finality of it.
* Edith Banner: Don't!
* David Banner: And in that one moment, I took everything that was dear to me and transformed it into nothing more than a memory.
* Major Talbot: Bingo! That must be some jumbo nightmare he just had. Okay, do it now. Start the enzyme extraction.
* Holman: Sir, negative on drill penetration.
* Major Talbot: Damn it! Drill him harder! Give him full RPMs! Come on, Holman! Come on!
* Analyst: Should I neutralize?
* Major Talbot: No! I can't do anything with goop! Come on! Alright, put him to sleep.
* Atheon Technician: It's not stopping him!
* Major Talbot: Ready room, send in our containment team. Non-lethals only. I repeat, non-lethals only! I must have a sample of him!
* Soldier: Sir!
* General Ross: Jesus.
* Major Talbot: Hit him with the foam!
* Analyst: Deploy containment foam.
* General Ross: Talbot, talk to me.
* Containment Unit: Cease fire!
* Major Talbot: Under control, general. I'll let you know when I need you.
* General Ross: Unacceptable. I'll see if your asses down here immediately. I want a full-court evacuation now. I'm shutting you down.
* Major Talbot: Lockdown.
* Analyst: Didn't you hear what the general said?
* Major Talbot: I SAID LOCKDOWN!!! Clear! I need a sample of him! Alright. Take it easy there, buddy. This might give you a bit of a sting here, Bruce. [He attempts to drill into Bruce's eye]
* Containment Unit: Fall back! Fall back!
* Major Talbot: Clear your weapon! Clear it! Give me the M2. So long, big boy. [Talbot throws the missile, which deflects into the back wall, presumably killing him]
* General Ross: Lockdown the entire facility immediately.
* Soldier: Target's still moving towards Blue Level.
* General Ross: Evacuate the main hall.
* Hulk: Puny human.
* Bruce Banner: I should have killed you.
* David Banner: Yeah? I should have killed you.
* Bruce Banner: I wish you had. I saw her last night. Saw her face. Brown hair. Brown eyes. She reached down and kissed my cheek. I can almost remember her smell. It was like desert flowers.
* David Banner: Her favorite perfume.
* Bruce Banner: It was my mother, and I don't even know her name.
* David Banner: It's alright, son. Go ahead and cry. Go ahead and cry.
* Bruce Banner: Don't touch me! Maybe once, you were my father, but you're not now and you never will be.
* David Banner: Oh. Is that so? Well, I got news for you. I didn't come here to see you. I came here to see my son. My real son. The one inside of you. You're nothing but a superficial shell. A husk of flimsy consciousness ready to be torn off at a moment's notice.
* Bruce Banner: You can think what you like. I don't care. Just go!
* David Banner: Now, son. Listen to me. I found a cure... for me. My cells can transform, too. Absorb enormous amounts of energy, but unlike you, they're unstable. Son, I need your strength. I gave you life, now you must give it back to me! Only a million times more radiant, more powerful!
* Bruce Banner: Stop!
* David Banner: "Stop" what? "STOP" WHAT?! Think about all those men out there, in their uniforms! Barking and swallowing orders! Inflicting their petty rule over the entire globe! Think of all the harm they've done! To you! To me! To humanity! And know this, that we can make them, and their flags, and their anthems, and their governments disappear! In a flash! You... in me.
* Bruce Banner: I'd rather DIE!
* David Banner: Oh, that's your answer. Then, indeed you shall die. And be reborn a hero! Of the kind that walked the earth long before the pale religions of civilization infected humanity's soul!
* Bruce Banner: GO!
* David Banner: Stop your bawling, you weak, little speck of human trash. I'll go! (He bites into the cable) You just watch me go!
* General Ross: Hit it.
* Bruce Banner: NO!
* General Ross: Hit it again!
* Technician: We can't, sir. Some kind of counter electromagnetic field!
* General Ross: Move in and assault the target. Move in!
* Radar Operator: Sir, I located them on radar. Pear Lake.
* General Ross: Call out the task force.
* David Banner: Yes! That's right. Keep fighting. The more you fight, the more of you I take.
*: Strange.
* Betty Ross: They're absorbing all of the ambient energy.
* David Banner: Sleep now, Bruce and forget forever. Struggle no more, and give me all of your power.
* Bruce Banner: You think you can live with it? Take it.
* Hulk: TAKE IT ALL!!!
* David Banner: Yes. Yes. Take it back! It's not stopping! TAKE IT BACK!
* General Ross: Gentlemen, release.
* Pilot: Gamma charge away.
* Betty Ross: Hello?
* General Ross: Betty, is that you?
* Betty Ross:
* General Ross:
* Betty Ross:
* General Ross:
* Betty Ross: What is it?
* General Ross: Oh, you know. The usual loonies.
* Betty Ross:
* General Ross: Look, uh, if by some chance he did survive,
* Betty Ross: Well, I wouldn't, but he
* General Ross: Yeah. I'm sorry, Betty. I'm so sorry.
* Betty Ross: I know you are.
* Bruce Banner: [In Espanol]
* Paramilitary Soldier:
* Bruce Banner:
* Paramilitary Soldier:
* Bruce Banner: You are making me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.
