Johnny Storm Quotes in Fantastic Four (2015)

Johnny Storm: I need a heat-resistant workshop, and a big-ass sunroof!

Johnny Storm: You said I had the potential to be something important. Who's to say this isn't it? Sometimes things just happen for a reason.

Dr. Franklin Storm: Johnny, you have no idea what they are planning to do to you...

Johnny Storm: They're not doing anything to me, I'm doing it for them!

Dr. Franklin Storm: Johnny, listen to me!

Johnny Storm: I did, that's why I'm here in the first place!

[in the quantum gate]

Reed Richards: Please don't blow up, please don't blow up...

Johnny Storm: Oh, yeah, that's what I want to hear when going into another dimension!

Ben Grimm: Don't worry, he does that.

[last lines]

Reed Richards: We're a team now, and there's four of us, so we should come up with a name for it.

Johnny Storm: Like, "The Human Torch and the Torchettes."

The Thing: Ugh.

Reed Richards: No. Are you kidding me?

The Thing: How about "The Big Brain and His Neurons"?

Sue Storm: How about "The Big Brain and Her Neurons"?

Johnny Storm: How about "Two Guys, a Girl, and the Thing that Nobody Wanted"?

Reed Richards: [calming The Thing] Hey, we both know that you could take him.

Sue Storm: Hey.

Johnny Storm: Hey. What?

Reed Richards: We've come a long way since the garage.

The Thing: Gotta say, it's fantastic.

Reed Richards: Say that again...

The Thing: It's fantastic.

Reed Richards: Yes, it is. Guys, I got it. Ready?

Johnny Storm: Yeah...

Johnny Storm: What if it takes more time to get it right? We could be talking years.

Sue Storm: I am not going to be a tool.

Johnny Storm: Wake up, Ben. Hey, rise and shine, big boy. How you feeling?

Ben Grimm: Where am I?

Johnny Storm: Back on Earth. We're in quarantine. Victor's medical facility.

Ben Grimm: Reed? Sue?

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

Ben Grimm: What's wrong with me?

Johnny Storm: I swear to you, Ben, they've done everything humanly possible. The best plastic surgeons in the world are here, Ben. You had the best.

[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.

Susan Storm: It's got to be the cloud! It's fundamentally altered our DNA!

Reed Richards: Now, let's not jump to conclusions. We need much more scientific evidence before we can say that.

Johnny Storm: Hey, guys!

[his thumb is on fire. He snaps his fingers, and it goes out. He snaps it on again, then off again]

Johnny Storm: Now picture that... But everywhere! I mean... Everywhere! *What*?

Reed Richards: ...The cloud has fundamentally altered our DNA.

Nurse: [taking Johnny's temperature which charges the electronic thermometer to 209 degrees] My God! You're hot!

Johnny Storm: Why, thank you. So are you.

Reed Richards: I'm trying to figure out why we each ended up with different symptoms.

Johnny Storm: Oh, well that's easy: I'm hot. You're... well, you're a little limp. Sue's easy to see through. And Ben's always been a hardass.

Susan Storm: You were at 4,000 degrees Kelvin! You were approaching Super-Nova!

Johnny Storm: Sweet!

Susan Storm: No, not "sweet"! That's the heat of the sun!

Reed Richards: You could kill yourself, other people, and burn up the atmosphere, ending all human life as we know it.

Johnny Storm: Got it. Super-Nova bad.

Johnny Storm: All right, I'm here, let's make this quick, I've got a lot of places to go today. Oh wait - I don't go anywhere!

Reed Richards: Johnny, it's imperative that we stay inside for the foreseeable future.

Johnny Storm: I know, I know, but when you said that last time my brain hurt a week.

Susan Storm: Johnny, it's too dangerous for you to be in public.

Johnny Storm: You've been saying that for years.

Ben Grimm: Hey, no more wise cracks about the way I look.

Johnny Storm: Hey, call me Mr. Sensitivity.

Johnny Storm: [walking through the crowd] Okay, wide load coming through! Everybody move! He's huge!

Ben Grimm: Hey! Come here, Mr. Sensitive.

Johnny Storm: Flame on!

Ben Grimm: Show-off!

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

[after he falls off his snowboard and lights on fire, melting the snow around him into water, talking to nurse]

Johnny Storm: Care to join me?

[Susan has just taken off all of her clothes while she was invisible]

Johnny Storm: I'm gonna need therapy.

Johnny Storm: [Ben enters the lobby] Hey! Look what the marketing guys did! Look, check it out, listen, listen, you'll love this...

[holds up a little Thing doll that says, "It's clobberin' time!" in a squeaky voice]

Johnny Storm: It's catchy, right?

[giggles]

Johnny Storm: Isn't that great?

[Ben takes the figure from Johnny, smashes it into the wall and stomps away]

Johnny Storm: Aww, that was the prototype!

Johnny Storm: [to Ben, after first seeing him as The Thing] Where are your ears?

Reed Richards: [while fighting Victor Von Doom] Johnny! Supernova!

Johnny Storm: I thought we agreed that was bad!

Reed Richards: Now!

Nurse: Johnny! You're on fire!

Johnny Storm: Thanks! You're pretty good too!

Reed Richards: [extends his arm, stretching it under a metal door, and bringing his hand up to the window on the other side]

Johnny Storm: That's gross!

[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!

Reed Richards: [Talking about his home] So what do you think?

Johnny Storm: I don't know Reed, I think you might be taking you work home with you.

Johnny Storm: [to Reed, after the fight with Ben] What?

Reed Richards: You need to control yourself, and think before you act.

Johnny Storm: Yeah, but you see, that's your problem; you always think, you never act! What if we got these powers for a reason? What if it's like some higher calling?

Reed Richards: A higher calling? Like getting girls and making money?

Johnny Storm: Is there any higher? You know what Reed - this is who we are. Accept it. Or better yet, enjoy it.

Johnny Storm: [to Doom, after he sent a heat seeking missile after him] You missed me!

Susan Storm: You don't want to walk around on fire for the rest of your life, do you?

Johnny Storm: Is that a trick question?

Susan Storm: [to Johnny as a heat-seeker rocket is heading towards them] Don't even think about it!

Johnny Storm: Never do.

[he jumps off the Baxter Building]

Susan Storm: [about the machine that could change them back to normal] What are the risks?

Reed Richards: Even a small miscalculation could increase our symptoms exponentially - or perhaps even kill us.

Johnny Storm: Now, dying - that's bad, right?

Johnny Storm: [to Reed] Hey. Nice do. Likin' the grandpa look.

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!

Chief Fireman: Who's the leader?

Johnny Storm: That would be me!

Chief Fireman: No, really.

[in a heated fight with Ben]

Johnny Storm: Let's see if we can get blood from a stone.

Susan Storm: [Johnny is snapping his fingers and a flame is going on and off] I said cut it out Johnny. Johnny.Stop!

Johnny Storm: All right.

Susan Storm: All right?

Johnny Storm: Yes!

Susan Storm: *God*

Johnny Storm: [mockingly] God.

Susan Storm: What is wrong with you?

Johnny Storm: What?

Susan Storm: Uhhh!

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!

Reed Richards: What worries me is that our powers are evolving.

Johnny Storm: I know - I know! I'm so close to flying, guys, I can taste it.

Susan Storm: You can't fly.

Johnny Storm: Yet.

[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!

Reporter- City TV: Excuse me. That thing doesn't look so fantastic.

Reed Richards: Ben Grimm is a genuine American hero.

Johnny Storm: What he means is, every team needs a mascot.

[the reporters laugh]

Johnny Storm: A new day is dawning. *The day of the Fantastic Four!*

Johnny Storm: [diving off a building trying to turn his power on] Come on, come on, come on. Flame on!

Johnny Storm: Digital camera - $250. Memory stick - $59. The look on your hard-ass former C.O.'s face when he finds out he's your junior pilot - priceless.

Susan Storm: Johnny, have you seen Ben?

Johnny Storm: Yeah, Sunshine just left. Look Sue, I'm sorry, I... I can't stay in this freak show, I gotta get back to the real world.

Susan Storm: You're calling that the real world?

Johnny Storm: Sue stop, you're not mum, don't talk to me like I'm a little boy, okay?

Susan Storm: Maybe I would if you stopped acting like one! Do you even hear yourself? Who do you think you are?

Johnny Storm: Why is everyone on my ass? If you guys are jealous, that's fine; I didn't expect it to come from you though.

Susan Storm: You really think those people out there care about you? You're just a fad to them, Johnny!

Johnny Storm: Let's try something new. You live your life, I'll live mine. Sound good?

[before Johnny walks out of the Baxter Building, he turns back to Sue]

Johnny Storm: Oh, and just for the record - they love me!

X Games Reporter: [about Reed] Is it true what they say about him? That he can expand *any* part of his anatomy?

Johnny Storm: Well, I've always found him to be a little limp.

Johnny Storm: [Sue turns invisible, then begins taking off her clothes but loses her invisibility] I'm going to need therapy.

Johnny Storm: [after The Thing demolishes his red Porsche] You think that's funny, Pebbles?

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: [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*?

Johnny Storm: [after Ben has transformed back to the Thing] Had a little relapse, huh? Welcome back!

Johnny Storm: [puts thermometer in nurse's pocket] That's yours.

[kisses nurse]

Johnny Storm: That's mine.

Johnny Storm: [referring to the nurse] My future wife!

Susan Storm: It's too dangerous for you to go out into public.

Johnny Storm: You've been saying that for years.

[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.

Compound Reporter #2: [to Johnny] Is it true you can fly?

Johnny Storm: Yeah, I'm working on that, its actually really difficult.

Johnny Storm: I need names... and shots. Bartender!

Johnny Storm: You know that looked cool!

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]

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!

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.

Reed Richards: [the Silver Surfer's in the distance] Johnny!

Johnny Storm: [touching his tux] But this is Dolce.

Johnny Storm: [to Dr. Doom] To quote a friend of mine: "It's cloberrin' time!"

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.

Johnny Storm: Flame on!

[goes invisible]

[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.

Johnny Storm: Are you building that thing?

Reed Richards: No, it...

Johnny Storm: [chuckles] If Sue finds out, you're gonna get an invisible kick in the nuts.

Alicia Masters: Hey, Johnny.

[turns head slightly in his direction]

Johnny Storm: [taken aback] Wow. Does that always amaze anyone else? How did she know it was me? I didn't say anything!

Alicia Masters: Well, to be honest, you kind of smell like ash.

[Silver Surfer grabs the Human Torch by the throat]

Johnny Storm: [in a strangled voice] Can we talk?

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]

Johnny Storm: Semper Fi!

Lieutenant: Uh, that's the Marine Corps. We are the Army.

Johnny Storm: [trying to convince Reed to make a bachelor party] Then do it for Ben. It means a lot to the big guy. You're gonna break his heart. He does have some sort of rock-like heart, doesn't he?

[flying alongside the Surfer]

Johnny Storm: I thought you could use a hand!

Johnny Storm: [after he throws a flaming dart which sets the dartboard on fire and has to dump a pint on it to extinguish it] Sorry, I'll pay for that.

Johnny Storm: [Johnny notices a Dodge logo on the Fantasticar] A hemi?

Reed Richards: Of course!

[seeing Galactus for the first time]

Johnny Storm: Oh my God...

[falls to Earth out of shock]
