Johnny Storm: [about Alicia and Ben having sex] I'd hate to wake up one morning and find out she was killed in a rockslide!
Ben Grimm: I'll show you a rockslide!
[chases Johnny]
Reed Richards: Your encounter with the Surfer has affected your molecules. They're... in a constant state of flux.
Johnny Storm: Is that bad?
Reed Richards: Well, it caused you to temporarily switch powers with Sue. Ideally, I'd like to run some more tests.
Ben Grimm: [walks toward Johnny] Would you like a
volunteer?
Reed Richards, Susan Storm: No, no, no!
Johnny Storm: No, no! Hey! This is serious.
Ben Grimm: I just wanted to give him a hug.
Susan Storm: We don't know the extent of his condition yet.
Reed Richards: It could be progressive. It could be
degenerative.
Ben Grimm: It could be fun!
[Ben touches Johnny and their powers switch]
Reed Richards: No, Ben!
Susan Storm: Ben!
Ben Grimm: Whoa! Hey! Hey, it's me. I'm back!
Johnny Storm: [looks at his reflection from the bottom of a silver pitcher and sees he's become
The Thing] Oh, my God! Come on! We just said this is serious!
Ben Grimm: Oh, yeah, serious.
Johnny Storm: [looks back at his reflection] Oh, you got to be kidding me!
General Hager: [to Reed] Let me make this clear for you and your pack of freaks. I'm the quarterback, you're on my team. But I guess you didn't play football in high school, did you, Richards?
[Hager starts to walk away]
Reed Richards: You're right. I didn't. I stayed in and studied like a good little nerd. And fifteen years later, I'm one of the
greatest minds of the 21st century. I'm engaged to the hottest girl on the planet. And the big jock who played football in high school, he standing right in front of me asking me for my help, and I say he's not going to get a damn thing, unless he does exactly what I say and starts treating me and my friends with some respect.
General Hager: [understandingly] Give him what
he wants.
[Hagar walks away]
Susan Storm: [to Reed] I'm so hot for you right now.
Johnny Storm: [hugging Reed and switching powers] Me, too!
Johnny Storm: I could catch him, but he's too strong for me.
Ben Grimm: I could whale on him, but he'd see me from a mile away.
Reed Richards: It would take all four of us.
Johnny Storm: Or maybe one of us.
Reed Richards: We don't know what that would do to you!
Johnny
Storm: Let's not make this about me.
Johnny Storm: You know, don't look completely ridiculous in that dress.
Susan Storm: Is that obnoxious brother talk for "You look kind of nice"?
Johnny Storm: You look beautiful.
Susan Storm: Thank you.
[Johnny slowly approaches Sue, looking her up and down. Finally he smiles]
Johnny
Storm: Dad would be proud.
Reed Richards: [to Sue after she switches powers with Johnny] You're on fire!
Susan Storm: [shrieking] You think?
[Susan Storm brings General Hager to the bar and catches Reed Richards dancing with two ladies]
Ben Grimm: [to Johnny] I think it might be clobberin' time...
The Silver Surfer: [restrained in the lab] I know you are there.
Susan Storm: [appears] What's your name?
[the Surfer doesn't answer]
Susan Storm: Come on. You must have a name. I'm Susan.
[the Surfer still does not answer]
Susan Storm: You said you weren't the one trying to destroy our world.
Then who is?
The Silver Surfer: The One I serve.
Susan Storm: Who do you serve?
[No response]
Susan Storm: Look, I'm trying to help you. But in order to do that, you have to tell me the truth. Please.
[the image of a ruined world appears on his stomach]
The Silver Surfer: It is known by
many names. My people called it... Galactus, the devourer of worlds. It must feed on energy to survive, both thermal and organic.
Susan Storm: How could you willingly serve this thing?
The Silver Surfer: Because I must.
Susan Storm: Doesn't it bother you? All the worlds and innocent people you've helped destroy?
The Silver Surfer: My service spares my world, and the one I love.
Susan Storm: Why did you try to protect me?
The Silver Surfer: Because you remind me of her.
