1. Don't try to pretend with me,
Ben Grimm.
Copy !req
2. I don't have to see your face to
sense you're upset about something.
Copy !req
3. It's just stretcho's been so busy
trying to crack the Negative Barrier,
Copy !req
4. so he can free that girl Crystal
for Torchy.
Copy !req
5. He's even called in some
fellow egghead from out of state,
Copy !req
6. a guy named Banner.
Copy !req
7. When's the professor gonna
get back to looking for a way
Copy !req
8. to turn me into a regular guy again?
Copy !req
9. You know, so you and me
can have a... normal life.
Copy !req
10. Ben. Why can't you get it
through your thick head
Copy !req
11. the only thing that could make me sad
is the thought of any change in you.
Copy !req
12. Yeah. Well,
maybe being the Thing ain't all bad.
Copy !req
13. Of course not. In fact, it's very nice.
Copy !req
14. We can sit here in the park after dark,
and with you I'm perfectly safe.
Copy !req
15. How many people can say that?
There's nothing alive you can't handle.
Copy !req
16. Not even someone like,
well, the Hulk, or...
Copy !req
17. The Hulk? Why bring up that
muscle-bound muddy-green creep?
Copy !req
18. I'm sorry,
it's just that I heard on the radio
Copy !req
19. he'd been spotted in the New York area.
Copy !req
20. He disappeared again
before being captured.
Copy !req
21. Yeah, well, lucky for him.
I mean, the Apple's my turf.
Copy !req
22. - Boy, if I ever find him...
- Come on, let's go.
Copy !req
23. Rotten little punks. Did you losers
just make a career mistake.
Copy !req
24. No.
Copy !req
25. We're sorry.
We didn't know it was you.
Copy !req
26. In this case,
ignorance ain't bliss, punks.
Copy !req
27. Ben, please don't. Don't.
Copy !req
28. Well, if you say so, darling.
Copy !req
29. - Hulk like park quiet.
- Now a green one?
Copy !req
30. Ben, what are you doing to them?
Copy !req
31. Me? Nothing.
Although I should have...
Copy !req
32. I don't believe my baby blues.
Copy !req
33. - Stand behind me.
- What?
Copy !req
34. The lady's with me, Mr Greenjeans.
Copy !req
35. Girl not belong with
ugly rock thing like you.
Copy !req
36. So that explains your colouring.
Green with envy.
Copy !req
37. Well, pally, I don't envy
what's gonna happen to you.
Copy !req
38. Hulk is bigger. Hulk is stronger.
Copy !req
39. Hulk is dumber. Thing is faster.
Copy !req
40. Hulk can't be hurt.
Copy !req
41. Yeah, but Hulk can be clobbered.
Copy !req
42. That right hook
would've flatten Mount Rushmore.
Copy !req
43. This was a hot tip.
The Hulk is stomping the Thing.
Copy !req
44. We got us an exclusive.
Copy !req
45. Hulk bury ugly rock monster.
Copy !req
46. Oh, my sweet Aunt Petunia.
Copy !req
47. Look out!
Copy !req
48. You sure that's the best you can do,
Buttercup?
Copy !req
49. Longer Hulk fights,
the stronger Hulk gets.
Copy !req
50. The smell's really starting
to get to me.
Copy !req
51. No. Stop.
Copy !req
52. Please, please stop fighting.
Copy !req
53. Hulk make girl unhappy?
So Hulk go.
Copy !req
54. What a story. Beauty and the Beast.
Copy !req
55. Stop him.
Copy !req
56. The puny minions of justice
may be incapable
Copy !req
57. of stopping the green behemoth,
Copy !req
58. but nothing escapes
from Victor von Doom.
Copy !req
59. Incredible. Then the stories
about this green monster...
Copy !req
60. Are very true.
Copy !req
61. The Hulk is quite possibly
the strongest being on the planet.
Copy !req
62. Certainly stronger
than that accursed Thing.
Copy !req
63. The vulgar monstrosity
who caused me such pain.
Copy !req
64. The Hulk's footprints
transform into human ones
Copy !req
65. with the same strong
gamma-ray emanations
Copy !req
66. I have been tracking across the country.
Copy !req
67. As I suspected,
the Hulk has a human alter ego.
Copy !req
68. And now for the answer.
Copy !req
69. This gamma-ray patch
was just another failure, Rick.
Copy !req
70. When will I find a way
to stop becoming the Hulk?
Copy !req
71. Don't give up hope, Dr Banner.
Try to get some rest.
Copy !req
72. You don't want to be assisting Reed
Richards with bags under your eyes.
Copy !req
73. How deliciously ironic.
Copy !req
74. Reed Richards has considerately
brought the Hulk to New York,
Copy !req
75. where I shall avail myself
of his presence
Copy !req
76. to decimate the Fantastic Four.
Copy !req
77. No. Lousy, stinking reporters.
Copy !req
78. Did you see these headlines?
"Hulk Trounces Thing."
Copy !req
79. "Blind Beauty Saves Beast From Beast."
Copy !req
80. Pipe down, you big brick.
I'm trying to watch here.
Copy !req
81. badly beaten
by the much stronger Hulk.
Copy !req
82. - Oh, man. He dropped you like a...
- Johnny.
Copy !req
83. This is downright humiliating.
Copy !req
84. - What's going on out here?
- Honey, you look terrible.
Copy !req
85. And our resident rockpile
feels terrible.
Copy !req
86. He tangled with the Hulk
and got his butt...
Copy !req
87. Hey, you care to rephrase that,
junior?
Copy !req
88. OK, you two. Here's some good news.
Copy !req
89. I've been working with
these rare chemicals which,
Copy !req
90. when bombarded with gamma rays,
might just be able...
Copy !req
91. Yeah, I know. Get that girl Crystal
and this shrimp back together.
Copy !req
92. Yeah, I know. That's all you
ever think about any more.
Copy !req
93. Actually, Ben, the project Reed's
been working on is a cure for you.
Copy !req
94. Say what?
Copy !req
95. That's right, Ben.
Preliminary results look promising.
Copy !req
96. And since gamma rays
could be the key, I called in an expert.
Copy !req
97. Dr Bruce Banner.
Copy !req
98. He's on his way up now to help me...
Copy !req
99. - Stretcho, what's the matter?
- Reed. Honey, you're burning up.
Copy !req
100. I'm just tired...
Copy !req
101. Dr Richards?
Copy !req
102. Dr Banner. We finally meet.
I was hoping you could help Ben here.
Copy !req
103. Forget about me, stretcho.
Copy !req
104. What counts is getting you
back on your rubbery feet again.
Copy !req
105. Come on, pal.
Copy !req
106. Prolonged exposure
to those rare chemicals
Copy !req
107. has caused Dr Richards' fever.
Copy !req
108. My spectrum analysis
will be done by morning.
Copy !req
109. I'll attempt to bio-engineer
a serum to restore his strength.
Copy !req
110. Meanwhile, we have constructed this
liquid pool unit to reduce his fever.
Copy !req
111. You and stretcho must have gone
to the same school of gizmo making.
Copy !req
112. Night, Doc. See you tomorrow.
Copy !req
113. You're sure it's OK, Johnny?
Copy !req
114. You asked if you could take
the Air-Cycle for a spin, so spin.
Copy !req
115. Who's there?
Copy !req
116. Allow me to introduce myself,
Dr Banner. Victor von Doom.
Copy !req
117. Don't change on my account, Doctor.
Copy !req
118. No.
Copy !req
119. Gamma rays.
Copy !req
120. At least, not yet.
Copy !req
121. You're guest of honour
at my Latverian Embassy, Dr Banner.
Copy !req
122. In fact, I've prepared a suitable
room especially for your needs.
Copy !req
123. I call it the Gamma Ray Suite.
Copy !req
124. Let me go, Doom. Without my help,
Reed Richards might die.
Copy !req
125. Reed Richards, dead of a virus.
How common.
Copy !req
126. Not quite the ultimate vengeance
I'd always hoped for but...
Copy !req
127. tidy nonetheless.
Oh, and yes, I will let you go.
Copy !req
128. After the Hulk destroys
the remainder of the Fantastic Four.
Copy !req
129. No!
Copy !req
130. - Who are you?
- I'm your friend, Dr Doom.
Copy !req
131. - Rick Jones is Hulk's only friend.
- Not any more, I'm afraid.
Copy !req
132. Rick Jones has made new friends.
Copy !req
133. He's deserted you, Hulk.
Copy !req
134. He has betrayed your trust
and joined the Fantastic Four.
Copy !req
135. And they have turned him against you.
Copy !req
136. No. No one leaves Hulk.
Copy !req
137. But the answer is simple.
Copy !req
138. To make Mr Jones your friend again,
Copy !req
139. you have only to destroy
his new friends, the Fantastic Four.
Copy !req
140. Yes. Hulk destroy Fantastic Four.
Copy !req
141. Rick, my brother-in-law
is not doing so hot.
Copy !req
142. Where's Doc Banner?
He's supposed to be at our place.
Copy !req
143. I'm sure he'll be back. Sometimes
he just kinda disappears for a while.
Copy !req
144. We ain't got a while, the professor's
depending on Banner's help.
Copy !req
145. You steal Hulk's only friend.
Copy !req
146. Yeah. I've been aching
for a rematch, Chuckles.
Copy !req
147. Hulk, no.
Copy !req
148. Flame on.
Copy !req
149. Why Rick hurt Hulk's feelings?
Leave Hulk for new friends?
Copy !req
150. But I didn't. I wouldn't.
Copy !req
151. Rick lie, try to trick Hulk.
Hulk tired of talk.
Copy !req
152. Rick, what's he talking about?
Copy !req
153. Hulk want friend back.
Hulk fight to get friend back.
Copy !req
154. Torch wanna pitch.
Copy !req
155. And Thing wanna hit.
Copy !req
156. Stop fighting, you'll make the Hulk
madder and so make him stronger.
Copy !req
157. Hulk has trick for fire boy.
Copy !req
158. Shockwave.
Copy !req
159. Kid, you OK?
Copy !req
160. Once Hulk grab rock monster,
he never get free.
Copy !req
161. Never say never, you big green creep.
Copy !req
162. I gotta stop this.
Copy !req
163. But I'm so enjoying
this athletic little Donnybrook.
Copy !req
164. Come and get me, mould face.
Copy !req
165. It's the rematch
all New York has been waiting for.
Copy !req
166. Once more, the Thing is being badly
beaten by the much stronger Hulk.
Copy !req
167. Ben. Oh, no.
Copy !req
168. And the Torch has been KO'ed by
the unstoppable Nightmare in Green.
Copy !req
169. Ben.
Copy !req
170. The city wonders, where are
Sue Richards and Mr Fantastic?
Copy !req
171. What are they waiting for?
Copy !req
172. I don't want to leave you,
but I've got to help Ben.
Copy !req
173. I love you, Reed.
Copy !req
174. Oh, no. Must help him. Ben!
Copy !req
175. So alone, so vulnerable.
Copy !req
176. I can't help myself. I must attend
to Mr Fantastic personally.
Copy !req
177. Saints preserve us. If Thing can't
shillelagh him, how can we?
Copy !req
178. Where rock creature go?
Copy !req
179. Thanks, Susie.
Copy !req
180. Smart girl.
Copy !req
181. Peek-a-boo. Thing find you.
Copy !req
182. Oh, no.
Copy !req
183. Susie. Got you.
Copy !req
184. Must help them.
Copy !req
185. I'm afraid that's entirely
out of the question.
Copy !req
186. - Doctor's orders.
- Doom.
Copy !req
187. This doctor prescribes
a maximum dosage of gamma rays.
Copy !req
188. In your current weakened state,
it should prove most fatal.
Copy !req
189. Come now, Mr Fantastic.
You really shouldn't be out of bed.
Copy !req
190. I don't suppose it would do any good
to say, "Look out behind you"?
Copy !req
191. Really, Richards,
what a pathetically desperate ploy.
Copy !req
192. What?
Copy !req
193. A mere delay of the inevitable.
My bionic armour is indestructible.
Copy !req
194. - But I'm betting your Gamma Gun isn't.
- No!
Copy !req
195. - Where's Dr Doom?
- No time to worry about that.
Copy !req
196. We have to help Ben and Sue.
Copy !req
197. Why pretty girls
always try help ugly rock creature?
Copy !req
198. Cos I floss, moss mouth.
Copy !req
199. Sorry, Ben, he's too strong.
Copy !req
200. Ugly rock creature getting weak.
Hulk never get weak.
Copy !req
201. That why Hulk always wins.
Copy !req
202. Can't take much more,
unless Con Ed can give me an edge.
Copy !req
203. Little tingle not stop Hulk.
Copy !req
204. - Ben.
- Alicia.
Copy !req
205. Hulk never forgive Fantastic Four.
Copy !req
206. I can't protect Ben much longer.
Copy !req
207. Hulk, stop. Please don't hurt him.
He's not your enemy.
Copy !req
208. I can feel your pain, Hulk.
Copy !req
209. You're so alone and unhappy,
just as Ben once was.
Copy !req
210. - Alicia.
- Oh, Ben.
Copy !req
211. See, even rock creature have friends.
That why Hulk unhappy.
Copy !req
212. Because Fantastic Four
stole Hulk's best friend.
Copy !req
213. - Hulk's new friend, Doom, show him.
- No, Doom is a bad man, Hulk.
Copy !req
214. And he isn't your friend.
Copy !req
215. - But I am.
- Rick?
Copy !req
216. I would never leave you
to join the Fantastic Four.
Copy !req
217. Such a tragic tableau, worthy of
Shakespeare, Rabelais, or Dr Doom.
Copy !req
218. Ben.
Copy !req
219. There's no heartbeat.
Copy !req
220. You've done well, my friend,
Copy !req
221. destroying the loathsome Thing,
as I knew you would.
Copy !req
222. - But Hulk make girl cry.
- She'll get over it.
Copy !req
223. And now for the coup de grâce.
Copy !req
224. No.
Copy !req
225. - Meddlesome youth.
- You hurt Rick.
Copy !req
226. Make Hulk make girl cry. You bad.
Copy !req
227. - You trick Hulk.
- Back, you subhuman primitive.
Copy !req
228. No. You fool.
Copy !req
229. - Reed, is he?
- Stand back.
Copy !req
230. I'm going to use high voltage
to try to start his heart.
Copy !req
231. Alicia... I'm sorry.
Copy !req
232. - Oh, Reed.
- Oh, no.
Copy !req
233. Hey, what's going on?
Copy !req
234. Oh, no, not Ben.
Copy !req
235. No, not the big fella.
Copy !req
236. Ben.
Copy !req
237. That's what I like about you, junior.
You're a real '90s kinda guy,
Copy !req
238. not afraid to show
your sensitive side.
Copy !req
239. - I knew you were OK.
- Yeah. I'm OK, you're OK.
Copy !req
240. Well, for once,
I'm glad to be wrong, Ben.
Copy !req
241. Even a genius couldn't find
a heartbeat under that rock.
Copy !req
242. You sure made a fast recovery,
mister.
Copy !req
243. Well, thank the doctor.
Dr Doom, actually.
Copy !req
244. The gamma rays from his exploding gun
Copy !req
245. knocked out the effects
of the chemicals.
Copy !req
246. Dr Banner will be glad to hear that.
Wherever he is.
Copy !req
247. And, hey, where'd Rick hike off to?
Copy !req
248. Something tells me there's
more than meets the eye
Copy !req
249. to Rick and the mysterious Dr Banner.
Copy !req
250. Bad man got away.
Copy !req
251. One thing's for sure.
That avocado ape's gonna think twice
Copy !req
252. about another field trip
to the Big Apple. Thanks to me.
Copy !req
253. Oh, Ben. I felt so sorry for him.
Copy !req
254. He was like an angry, lonely child,
full of rage and hurt.
Copy !req
255. Yeah. Kinda sounds like
some big orange guy I used to know.
Copy !req
256. A big, orange, lucky guy.
Copy !req
257. - Ben.
- Alicia.
Copy !req
