1. On an outer-space adventure
Copy !req
2. They got hit by cosmic rays
Copy !req
3. And the four were changed forever
Copy !req
4. In some most fantastic ways
Copy !req
5. No need to fear, they're here
Copy !req
6. Just call the Four
Copy !req
7. Fantastic Four
Copy !req
8. - Don't need no more!
- That's ungrammatical!
Copy !req
9. Reed Richards is elastic
Copy !req
10. Sue can fade from sight
Copy !req
11. Johnny is the Human Torch
Copy !req
12. The Thing just loves to fight
Copy !req
13. Call the Four
Copy !req
14. Fantastic Four
Copy !req
15. Yo, friends, that's right, it's me,
Copy !req
16. your blue-eyed, blushin',
ever-lovin' Thing.
Copy !req
17. Hey, for a limited time only, watch me
stomp the stuffing out of Terrax,
Copy !req
18. Super Skrull, the Sub-Mariner,
Copy !req
19. and a whole mess
of other famous grungy creeps.
Copy !req
20. Thanks to the Fantastic Four's
own home video,
Copy !req
21. my greatest adventures
are now yours to enjoy
Copy !req
22. when you buy my famous collector's
edition called "It's Clobbering Time".
Copy !req
23. Starring yours truly.
Copy !req
24. It's only a measly $29.95.
Copy !req
25. So get off your butts, get on the phone,
whip out some of that plastic,
Copy !req
26. and let me hear that cash register
go ding-a-ling-a-dong.
Copy !req
27. Everybody here at HTSN
is thrilled that the Thing picked us
Copy !req
28. to make this wonderful video
available to you, but you better hurry.
Copy !req
29. Ben said he had a surprise for me,
Copy !req
30. but what's he doing
selling video tapes?
Copy !req
31. I'll tell you what he's doing.
He's disgracing this building and me.
Copy !req
32. Everyone in New York knows that
moronic orange dump-truck lives here.
Copy !req
33. I sympathise, Miss Forbes,
but Ben's an adult. I can't control him.
Copy !req
34. Then perhaps Dr Richards can.
Come along, Foo Foo.
Copy !req
35. Computer, lock coordinates
with Hubble Telescope
Copy !req
36. and access
image-enhancement protocols.
Copy !req
37. Coordinates locked,
enhancement protocols accessed.
Copy !req
38. Interfacing. Stand by
to record my observations.
Copy !req
39. Recording.
Copy !req
40. Amazing. Matter runs down
into that black hole
Copy !req
41. like water down a drain.
Copy !req
42. But if my theory is correct,
Copy !req
43. it will enter a negative zone
and become antimatter as it exits,
Copy !req
44. and as it recirculates,
transform itself into...
Copy !req
45. Good grief. It's the Negative Zone
planetary system itself.
Copy !req
46. Its planets orbit the backwash of
a black hole instead of around a sun.
Copy !req
47. One of the planets
seems to be a world of inversion.
Copy !req
48. Gravity and physical laws reversed,
Copy !req
49. with strange, dreadful inhabitants
of unbelievable power.
Copy !req
50. Computer, scan and analyse
that bizarre rod that creature is...
Copy !req
51. What?
Copy !req
52. I want your undivided attention,
Dr Richards.
Copy !req
53. So I pulled your plug.
Copy !req
54. I'm sorry, sweetheart,
she insisted on seeing you.
Copy !req
55. Very well, but disconnecting
my experiment when you did
Copy !req
56. was unwise and dangerous,
Miss Forbes.
Copy !req
57. The cosmic forces I was monitoring
are extremely powerful,
Copy !req
58. their effects unpredictable.
Copy !req
59. - Look out.
- What's happening?
Copy !req
60. - Blimey.
- Reed.
Copy !req
61. Big-time bizarre.
Copy !req
62. Now you've put a hole in my wall.
Copy !req
63. Reed, what is that?
Copy !req
64. Reed, what is he?
Copy !req
65. I don't know, but something caused
a tear in the fabric of our dimension
Copy !req
66. and he came out of it.
Copy !req
67. You have nothing to fear from us.
We will not harm you.
Copy !req
68. Get away from me,
you grotesque cucaracha.
Copy !req
69. - Johnny.
- Flame on!
Copy !req
70. It's a stand-off. I don't think
he's really afraid of fire.
Copy !req
71. Oh, my.
Copy !req
72. That entrance to whatever.
Something else is coming.
Copy !req
73. I've got to seal it off before
we get any more strange visitors.
Copy !req
74. This will destroy the value
of my property and it's all your fault.
Copy !req
75. - Darling, you did it.
- That's only part of the problem.
Copy !req
76. That insectoid creature
is loose somewhere in New York.
Copy !req
77. And we don't know
how dangerous it is.
Copy !req
78. We've got to find it
and send it back where it came from.
Copy !req
79. Come on, out there,
keep ordering my video.
Copy !req
80. It's a lot better than them crummy
porcelain pigs they sell here.
Copy !req
81. Crummy porcelain pigs
they sell here.
Copy !req
82. I don't know what you want. We aren't
hosting a Halloween party here.
Copy !req
83. Get lost.
Copy !req
84. What is it with you?
Don't you understand English?
Copy !req
85. I did not but now I do.
Copy !req
86. I am Annihilus,
lord of the Planet Tyanna.
Copy !req
87. I herewith claim this world.
Accept my rule or die.
Copy !req
88. Yes, these enchanting porcelain pigs
Copy !req
89. from the Age of Enlightenment
are next
Copy !req
90. on the Home Town Shopping Network.
Copy !req
91. Ask for Sir Reginald Swine
at only $ 79.95.
Copy !req
92. Then you can buy his dear friend,
Lady Fanny Pork, for $59...
Copy !req
93. You can't come in here.
We're on the air.
Copy !req
94. - Ben. We need you. Hurry.
- Give me a rain check, stretcho.
Copy !req
95. You see, I still got tapes to unload.
Copy !req
96. But a strange creature from another
dimension is loose in the city.
Copy !req
97. - What's with you?
- This is serious, Ben.
Copy !req
98. This city and perhaps the world
itself is in grave danger.
Copy !req
99. This is Sam Jaggers of Hard News
Copy !req
100. on special assignment
in New York City,
Copy !req
101. where you are watching
an incredible insectoid mutant
Copy !req
102. calling himself Annihilus,
Copy !req
103. as he constructs what appears
to be his living quarters
Copy !req
104. high above
the fashionable Midtown area.
Copy !req
105. And it looks like the law
has finally decided to do something
Copy !req
106. about this weird intruder.
Let's listen in.
Copy !req
107. You, there on the building.
Copy !req
108. You're trespassing
and have no building permit.
Copy !req
109. For the last time,
cease and desist or we'll arrest you.
Copy !req
110. Prepare to disengage.
Copy !req
111. Do the pincers movement,
Johnny. Now.
Copy !req
112. The choppers are in free fall. Hurry.
Copy !req
113. Got 'em, sis.
Copy !req
114. Great work, Sue, Johnny.
Set them down safely
Copy !req
115. and join Ben and me
as soon as possible.
Copy !req
116. We've got to learn
what we're dealing with.
Copy !req
117. We mean you no harm.
Copy !req
118. Stay back or be destroyed.
Copy !req
119. We can help you return
to your own dimension.
Copy !req
120. Yeah, bug eyes, we want to be pals.
Copy !req
121. Keep back.
Copy !req
122. Back!
Copy !req
123. Sue. Johnny. Ben.
Copy !req
124. He appears to be priming
his control rod for maximum power.
Copy !req
125. On three, focus
all positive energy beams on him.
Copy !req
126. One, two, now.
Copy !req
127. - Antimatter shards.
- Refocus your energy beams now.
Copy !req
128. Look at the whosis.
Copy !req
129. He's dematerialised.
Copy !req
130. There's no way to know where
he'll come back into this dimension.
Copy !req
131. We've got to do some homework. Fast.
Copy !req
132. How can we defeat someone whose power
equals anything we throw at him?
Copy !req
133. The problem's worse than that. Our
energy is derived from our dimension.
Copy !req
134. His emanates from
the antimatter Negative Zone,
Copy !req
135. which exists inside
a mysterious black hole in space.
Copy !req
136. Yeah. Right. It's all on account
of the antimatter no-parking zone.
Copy !req
137. Thanks for clearing things up.
Copy !req
138. Hello? Where's Waldo Pizza?
You find us no matter where we are?
Copy !req
139. Yeah, it's me again.
Copy !req
140. Give me the pepperoni-salami-garlic
combo with anchovies.
Copy !req
141. But hold the onions. You see,
I got a lady friend visiting.
Copy !req
142. I hope I'm not interrupting.
Copy !req
143. You've been working so long,
I thought you might enjoy a tea break.
Copy !req
144. Thank you, Alicia.
Copy !req
145. I love watching Ben
stick out his little finger
Copy !req
146. when he slurps the tea
out of his saucer.
Copy !req
147. Don't knock my manners, firefly.
Copy !req
148. I ain't the one
who eats chicken soup with his hands.
Copy !req
149. Reed, the inter-dimensional doorway.
Copy !req
150. Free.
Copy !req
151. And a new dimension to conquer!
Copy !req
152. Annihilus, I would know his stench,
Copy !req
153. even on the Dead Plains
of the Jackal World of Arrrl.
Copy !req
154. I like this guy. He makes me
look like Brian Austin Green.
Copy !req
155. There's no room for Annihilus and me.
Copy !req
156. I am Blastaar.
I must rule alone.
Copy !req
157. I don't like this. Our problem
has just more than doubled.
Copy !req
158. Unless we can find a way to counter
Copy !req
159. the effects of antimatter in this
dimension, our world is doomed.
Copy !req
160. We must follow him.
Copy !req
161. I'm giving it everything we got
Copy !req
162. but that blue-whiskered jerk
is still ahead of us.
Copy !req
163. Sustenance.
Copy !req
164. Food.
Copy !req
165. Eat heartily, Annihilus.
It is your last meal.
Copy !req
166. Come, now! I must practise
the language of this new dimension,
Copy !req
167. which I shall conquer and plunder.
Copy !req
168. Let me hear you say...
Copy !req
169. farewell to your life.
Copy !req
170. You were right, Blastaar.
Copy !req
171. There will be no sharing.
Copy !req
172. Earth will be mine alone.
Copy !req
173. Amazing. According to my sensors,
Copy !req
174. Annihilus has absorbed enough
radiation to vaporise New York.
Copy !req
175. But his system has converted it
into non-radioactive antimatter.
Copy !req
176. It's clobbering time.
Copy !req
177. I'm sorry, Officer,
I didn't see the off ramp.
Copy !req
178. Only one of us shall remain to rule.
Copy !req
179. I invoke the challenge
of Algesitas Kax.
Copy !req
180. A fight to the death. Winner take all.
Copy !req
181. I accept.
Copy !req
182. And the choice of field is mine.
Copy !req
183. There on the highest battlement.
Copy !req
184. We meet in one hour, earth time.
Copy !req
185. One hour doesn't give us much time
to learn how to neutralise them.
Copy !req
186. If we don't find a way to
return them to the Negative Zone,
Copy !req
187. the human race could become slaves
to either Blastaar or Annihilus.
Copy !req
188. It's like the door into
the Negatory Zone wasn't never there.
Copy !req
189. That's because the precise moment
Copy !req
190. in which a confluence
of diverse energy-producing events
Copy !req
191. caused a tear
in our dimensional fabric has passed.
Copy !req
192. But Blastaar and Annihilus will meet
in combat in less than 40 minutes.
Copy !req
193. And we don't have the resources
to defeat them. Is it hopeless?
Copy !req
194. No, not if we find the key to re-open
that inter-dimensional doorway.
Copy !req
195. I tried to reproduce
the experiment I was working on
Copy !req
196. when the tear
in the dimensional fabric appeared.
Copy !req
197. So far, it hasn't produced results.
Copy !req
198. It's pizza guy.
Copy !req
199. OK, who belongs to
the pepperoni-salami-garlic combo?
Copy !req
200. Is pizza the surprise
you promised me, Ben?
Copy !req
201. No way. Just wait.
My surprise is a doozy.
Copy !req
202. Yo, pizza guy. We get your combo.
Copy !req
203. - Reed, a combo.
- Of course.
Copy !req
204. It was a combination
of energy-related events
Copy !req
205. that ripped a hole
in this dimension in the first place.
Copy !req
206. That was brilliant, sweetheart.
Copy !req
207. I thought so, too.
I learned from the best.
Copy !req
208. I don't get it.
Copy !req
209. We're going to re-create
the exact combination of events
Copy !req
210. which tore the fabric
of this dimension,
Copy !req
211. and pray that it's the key
to the Negative Zone.
Copy !req
212. Ben, get the Home Town
Shopping Network
Copy !req
213. to re-run your appearance at once.
Copy !req
214. Say what?
Copy !req
215. Yo, friends, that's right, it's me,
Copy !req
216. your blue-eyed, blushin',
ever-lovin' Thing.
Copy !req
217. And right now,
for a limited time only...
Copy !req
218. While I was tapping into
the Hubble Telescope's coverage
Copy !req
219. of that black hole in space, Ben was
on the Home Town Shopping Network
Copy !req
220. which was receiving
thousands of calls
Copy !req
221. by way of a communications satellite.
Copy !req
222. I believe a spontaneous interface
took place
Copy !req
223. which was then interrupted.
Now, Miss Forbes, please.
Copy !req
224. This is the most ridiculous
exercise in stupidity...
Copy !req
225. - Just pull the cockamamie plug, lady!
- Yes, of course.
Copy !req
226. Be sure Foo Foo barks.
Copy !req
227. His sound is part
of the energy equation.
Copy !req
228. - Speak, Foo Foo.
- Bark, you shrimp.
Copy !req
229. - It's happening.
- Way to go.
Copy !req
230. Good grief.
Copy !req
231. It worked. Now to reprogram
the Fantasticar
Copy !req
232. for inter-dimensional travel.
Copy !req
233. Then to the top
of the World Trade Center.
Copy !req
234. Blastaar and Annihilus should be
facing off for the final conflict
Copy !req
235. in exactly 12 minutes.
Copy !req
236. Can't you wait to observe protocol?
Copy !req
237. I have no patience for ritual.
Copy !req
238. Die, usurper!
Copy !req
239. There isn't a moment to spare.
Copy !req
240. The buildings are shaking down
to their foundations.
Copy !req
241. Your new doohickey sure don't look
like much. What if it don't work?
Copy !req
242. Then we could be stuck
in the Negative Zone forever.
Copy !req
243. But at least the world would be free
of Blastaar and Annihilus.
Copy !req
244. Ready, Johnny, Ben, Sue?
Copy !req
245. - All set.
- Yes, darling.
Copy !req
246. One for the money,
two for the show.
Copy !req
247. - Now.
- Flame on.
Copy !req
248. Geronimo.
Copy !req
249. No!
Copy !req
250. Hurry, Ben, Johnny.
I can't hold them much longer.
Copy !req
251. Gotcha.
Copy !req
252. Ben, drive us through the space-time
barrier into the Negative Zone.
Copy !req
253. Release me.
Copy !req
254. I do not wish to return now.
Copy !req
255. When I jettison cargo,
hold on tight and whatever you do,
Copy !req
256. don't open your eyes.
Copy !req
257. Ready? Jettisoning.
Copy !req
258. You shall pay for this indignity.
Copy !req
259. All who meddle
with the will of Blastaar die.
Copy !req
260. - They're coming right at us.
- I said, close your eyes.
Copy !req
261. Ben, you're back safely.
Copy !req
262. The inter-dimensional window onto
the Negative Zone has been sealed.
Copy !req
263. Which leaves only one question
still unanswered.
Copy !req
264. Why was Ben
on the Home Town Shopping Network?
Copy !req
265. I needed a little bread
for Alicia's surprise.
Copy !req
266. Here, kid. You can even ride it
to the supermarket.
Copy !req
267. Ben.
Copy !req
