Johnny Storm: Oh, they're fine. Everybody else is fine.

Ben Grimm: What's wrong with me?

[Johnny picks up a hand mirror on the bed table before Ben can reach it, reluctant to give it to him]

Ben Grimm: Give me that mirror.

Johnny Storm: I don't think if that's a good idea. They said the shock alone...

Ben Grimm: I said, give me that goddamn mirror!

Johnny Storm: Okay, Ben. Just be strong.

[Ben grabs it from him. Then slowly raises it to look and see that he's totally normal]

Johnny Storm: Unfortunately, the doctors just couldn't do anything to fix your face.

Reed Richards: Yeah, you and Debbie are perfect.

Ben Grimm: I'm not talking about Debbie.

[Indicates to Sue]

Reed Richards: What? Come on. She's got a good thing with Victor. He's smart, He's powerful, successful.

Ben Grimm: Well, maybe you should date him then.

[Johnny flies into the sky to make a fiery 4]

Ben Grimm: [Sitting on the Brooklyn Bridge] Oh yeah Ben, few days in space, it'll be great, what's the worst that could happen?

Reed Richards: How many times have I ever asked you to do something that you said you absolutely could not do?

Ben Grimm: Five times.

[walks off]

Reed Richards: I had it at four.

Ben Grimm: [from offscreen] Well, this is number five.

Ben Grimm: Ladies, I'm gonna need to borrow your car.

Old Lady with Car #2: The transmission sticks.

Ben Grimm: Not gonna be a problem!

[hurls the car in the direction of Doom]

[as the four enter the elevator, it creaks and from Ben's massive body weight]

Johnny Storm: Either we're moving really fast or not at all.

[the elevator's "exceed maximum weight" sign lights up]

Ben Grimm: I'll take the stairs.

X Games Reporter: [referring to Ben] What is that? What do you call that thing?

Johnny Storm: That's it - the Thing. Yeah, you think this is bad, you should have seen him before!

Ben Grimm: Okay. Now I'm gonna go kill him!

Ben Grimm: [referring to Reed, Susan and Johnny in their new outfits] You guys look like an '80s rock band!

Ben Grimm: [complaining about Johnny] That underwear model washed out at NASA for bringing two Victoria's Secret wannabes into a flight simulator.

Reed Richards: Youthful high spirits.

Ben Grimm: They crashed it into a wall.

Victor Von Doom: It's time to end this.

Ben Grimm: No, Vic. It's clobbering time!

[he sends Dr. Doom flying. A metal painting falls on the latter]

Ben Grimm: Damn, I've been waiting to do that!

Ben Grimm: [shaking head sadly, trying to make Alicia understand] You don't know what it's like out there. Walking around like some kind of circus freak. People staring, whispering...

Alicia Masters: [sarcastically] I wouldn't know anything about that.

Ben Grimm: [instantly contrite] I mean...

Ben Grimm: [after finding out that he's working for Johnny] I cannot take orders from the underwear model.

Johnny Storm: Come on, Ben. Smile. They wanna like you, bud. Say hi.

[to a group of little kids]

Ben Grimm: Uh, don't do drugs!

Reed Richards: Ben, I've been crunching the numbers on the machine. I think if we can rework the power settings...

Ben Grimm: [casually] Forget it, egghead. I'm good as is.

Alicia Masters: [approaches and hands Ben a large metal mug of beer] Better than good, baby.

[they clink glasses causing hers to shatter]

Alicia Masters: You just... need to work on your touch.

Ben Grimm: [hugging her and smiling widely] I like the sound of that.

[first lines]

Ben Grimm: Typical of Victor Von Doom to build a 30 foot statue of himself.

Ben Grimm: [after Victor was talking about him] Reed does the talking. I do the walking.

Victor Von Doom: So take a walk, Ben.

[Johnny hurls a fireball that smacks Ben in the back of his head]

Ben Grimm: Did you just...?

[gets another fireball in the face]

Susan Storm: Johnny, stop it!

Ben Grimm: That's it, Tinker Bell! You wanna fly? Then fly!

Victor Von Doom: I've always wanted power. Now I have an unlimited supply.

Ben Grimm: And no Thing to stand in your way.

Johnny Storm: If you're good, maybe daddy'll let you drive.

Ben Grimm: You keep talking and there won't be a next time!

Alicia Masters: You know, being different isn't always a bad thing.

Ben Grimm: Trust me, this ain't one of them times.

Alicia Masters: Not if you don't want it to be.

[watching Johnny on TV at the Moto-X Games]

Susan Storm: He didn't.

Ben Grimm: Oh, yes, he did! Flame boy never listens!

Susan Storm: What did he do to his uniform?

X Games Reporter: Johnny, I've got to ask you about this outfit.

Johnny Storm: Yeah, it's sorta Armani meets astronaut.

X Games Reporter: So, what are your superhero names?

Johnny Storm: They call me the Human Torch. Ladies call me Torch.

X Games Reporter: What about the rest of the team?

[Sue's picture is shown on the huge screen]

Johnny Storm: That's the Invisible Girl.

Susan Storm: "Girl"?

X Games Reporter: What about your leader, Reed Richards? I hear you call him Mr. Fantastic.

Ben Grimm: Could've been worse.

Reed Richards: I guess.

Susan Storm: Johnny!

Johnny Storm: What?

Susan Storm: You gave us names? You don't think! So now you're the face of the Fantastic Four?

Ben Grimm: A face that's about to be broken!

Susan Storm: We're all in this together, Ben.

Ben Grimm: Together? Susie, look at me. You got no idea what I'd - what I'd give to be invisible.

[Ben Grimm sees a man about to jump off the Brooklyn Bridge]

Ben Grimm: Hey! You think you got problems, you take a good look, pal.

Ben Grimm: [after he accidentally shatters his vat of alcohol] If there is a God, he hates me.

Alicia Masters: *She* is not so into hate.

Ben Grimm: You know, you could'a run an ad in the personals.

Alicia Masters: Sensual blind chick seeks three-ton, rock-hard he-man for deep spiritual relationship.

Ben Grimm: [sounding more hopeful than realistic] This ain't permanent. My friend Reed is working on a cure... I think.

Alicia Masters: Bennie... you feel good 'as is'.

Johnny Storm: Please tell me your guy's not trying to rekindle things with my sister again.

Ben Grimm: Of course not. It's strictly business.

Johnny Storm: Yes. Well, his eyes say differently, don't they?

Ben Grimm: Hey. Two hearts got busted last time. Maybe she's not over it either.

Johnny Storm: Wow, Dr. Phil, that's deep. Let's think about that. You got Victor: more money than god, stud of the year. And you got Reed: world's dumbest smart guy, worth less than a postage stamp. That's a real toss-up.

Ben Grimm: Don't trouble your tiny little mind.

Johnny Storm: Don't wander off now, boy.

Ben Grimm: How bad is it? You know, I used to smoke.

Ben Grimm: [about Reed's re-transformation machine] So, how long til this contraption is up and running?

Reed Richards: I don't know, it's hard to say.

Ben Grimm: How long, Reed?

Reed Richards: I don't know, uh...

Ben Grimm: [upset] You don't know?

Reed Richards: You don't want this to get worse?

Johnny Storm: Worse than *that*?

[Susan and Reed enter the laboratory happily chatting, but fall silent when they become aware of Ben waiting for them]

Ben Grimm: Yeah - I have that effect on people.

Ben Grimm: Good thing you're flexible enough to watch your own back... 'cause I ain't doing it no more.

[Ben zips Johnny's suit all the way up]

Johnny Storm: Thank you. That's so sweet.

Ben Grimm: I can handle this ship. I can even handle Mr. Blonde Ambition. But I don't know if I should be flying or doing Swan Lake in these suits.

Ben Grimm: You done good, kid.

Ben Grimm: [after trying to make a phone call when first becoming the Thing] Little buttons!

Ben Grimm: [in a fight with Reed] Get off me, rubber boy!

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!

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.

[last lines]

Ben Grimm: Heads up, Johnny!

[Johnny sees Frankie trying to catch the bouquet and destroys it with a blast of fire]

Johnny Storm: Sorry. Reflex.

Victor von Doom: [after showing the video of his encounter with the alien] Well?

Ben Grimm: I like the part where he knocks you on your ass.

[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...

Ben Grimm: [gets smashed into the wall by a large concrete slab] OK. That one hurt.

Susan Storm: Where's Reed?

Reed Richards: [muffled voice] Back here!

Ben Grimm: [Ben steps out from the wall to reveal a flattened Reed] My bad.

Ben Grimm: [Ben encounters a grizzly bear in the forest] Hey, you scared me, Smokey. Look at you, you're cute.

Ben Grimm: [the bear growls at Ben who roars causing the animal to run away] Yeah, that's right, runnin' Boo Boo. Overgrown furball.

Ben Grimm: [sees Johnny flying] I hope it rains.

Johnny Storm: We wouldn't even be in this position if I wasn't such a complete screw up.

Ben Grimm: Hey, you're not a complete screw-up. A 'partial' screw-up, maybe.

Johnny Storm: Thanks.

Ben Grimm: Look, there's nothing you and me can do now. It's all up to the eggheads.

Johnny Storm: You think Reed's right? That this might really be the end of the world?

Ben Grimm: He's never wrong about stuff like this.

Johnny Storm: [after a long silence] You know, I'm not a very deep kinda guy...

Ben Grimm: [mocking Johnny's attempt at a sincere tone] No?

Johnny Storm: I'm just saying,

[lowers voice]

Johnny Storm: if we can't stop this, if it's really the end of the world... how are you going to spend your last few minutes?

Ben Grimm: [stares into his empty pitcher and thinks about the question] Part of me would like to go out fighting.

[pauses for a second]

Ben Grimm: But to tell you the truth, I think I'd like to spend my last few minutes holding onto Alicia.

Johnny Storm: [absentmindedly] That sounds good to me.

[notices Ben's jealous stare, realizes what he said, and tries to backtrack; he begins to stammer]

Johnny Storm: Not holding onto Alicia, because she's your girlfriend, not mine. I have no interest in her whatsoever.

[sees Ben's look getting worse]

Johnny Storm: Not that she's not attractive, because she is. 'So' attractive. I mean, who wouldn't want to...

[the glass pitcher shatters in Ben's hand]

Johnny Storm: What I meant, is that it's just nice to have somebody.

Ben Grimm: Well, you got me pal.

[trying to escape from the Army compound with the Silver Surfer, the Fantastic Four are confronted by Captain Raye]

Captain Frankie Raye: [pointing her gun at Reed] What's going on here? Where is General Hager?

Reed Richards: He's dead.

Ben Grimm: And if we don't get outta here soon... we're all gonna be.

Johnny Storm: [steps forward, a look of pleading on his face] Frankie...

[Captain Raye turns slightly and points her gun at Johnny]

Johnny Storm: The world is literally at stake. You have to trust us... please.

[Captain Raye stares at Johnny a few seconds, then takes her finger off the trigger of her gun]
