Reed Richards Quotes in Fantastic Four (2015)

Victor Domashev: You've opened a door you don't know how to close. You don't know anything about what's coming.

Reed Richards: What is coming?

Victor Domashev: Doom!

Reed Richards: Does it hurt?

Ben Grimm: I'm used to it.

Reed Richards: I'm sorry.

Ben Grimm: That's what you said when you left.

Reed Richards: I'm going to fix this.

Ben Grimm: You can't fix this. Nobody can.

Reed Richards: I promise you. I'm going to fix this.

Ben Grimm: I stopped believing in your bullshit a long time ago.

Reed Richards: You were my best friend.

Ben Grimm: Look at me. I'm not your friend. You turned me into something else.

[from trailer]

Victor Domashev: Be ready for what's coming.

Reed Richards: What is coming?

Victor Domashev: The answers.

Reed Richards: Victor, don't do this!

Victor Domashev: There is no Victor... there is only Doom!

[from trailer]

Sue Storm: You want to be famous?

Reed Richards: I just want my work to make a difference.

[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.

Sue Storm: We can't beat him. He's stronger than any of us.

Reed Richards: Yeah, he is. But he's not stronger than all of us.

Ben Grimm: Don't let any of these labcoats give you any crap, alright?

Reed Richards: Well, if they do I know who to call. The muscle.

[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...

Victor Domashev: I gotta say, it's pretty impressive...

Reed Richards: Thank you.

Victor Domashev: ...that you nearly destroyed our entire planet with speaker cable and aluminum foil.

Reed Richards: Yeah, that was an accident.

Reed Richards: [keys clacking] I'm gonna need ten minutes.

Dr. Allen: To do what?

Reed Richards: I need to make a couple adjustments to the source code. You have a few steps that are out of order.

Dr. Allen: It can't be that simple.

Reed Richards: It might not be ten minutes. It could be a little less.

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.

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.

Ben Grimm: You know, living through something like this you really appreciate having the right woman in your life.

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.

Reed Richards: Ben, she ended up with the right guy, everything worked out for the best.

[Reed walks away]

Ben Grimm: Do I have to do everything myself?

Victor Von Doom: [proposing to Sue Storm] Four words, Sue. Four words that will change our lives forever...

Reed Richards: [interrupting] The cloud is accelerating!

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.

[Susan's invisibility has worn off and she's now standing in front of a crowd in her underwear]

Reed Richards: I see you've been working out.

Susan Storm: Shut up!

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

Johnny Storm: I thought we agreed that was bad!

Reed Richards: Now!

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.

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!

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.

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.

Reed Richards: A few days in space. What's the worst that could happen?

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?

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.

Reed Richards: Exposure to a high energy cosmic storm could advance our knowledge of planetary life.

Victor Von Doom: Same old Reed, always stretching, reaching for the stars.

Reed Richards: [to Ben] I swear to you... I will do everything in my power until there is not a breath left in me- You're gonna be Ben again.

[Johnny has engulfed Dr. Doom in a huge fire cone that has just burned away Doom's clothes and outer skin]

Victor Von Doom: Is that the best you can do?

Reed Richards: Time for your lesson - Chem 101. What happens when you rapidly cool hot metal?

[the Thing smashes a water hydrant and soaks Dr. Doom, solidifying his metal form and immbolizing him]

Victor Von Doom: [after he turns Ben to normal] Take a good look Ben. This is what a man looks like who embraces his destiny.

[punches Ben and sends him crashing]

Victor Von Doom: One down - three to go.

Reed Richards: [appearing on the landing] Vic?

Victor Von Doom: Right on cue!

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.

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!*

Reed Richards: What I see in your relationship is what I considered the best part of ours.

Susan Storm: That is?

Reed Richards: Passion... for science.

[Reed opens the bathroom door as Sue get's out]

Susan Storm: [Sue goes invisible] You could knock!

Reed Richards: Sorry.

[Reed slams the door shut]

Victor Von Doom: Isn't it funny the way things turn out?

Reed Richards: Hilarious.

Reed Richards: [after leaning in to kiss Sue, she turns invisible] ... That's not fair.

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 Storm: Remember our first date here? God, I was nervous!

Reed Richards: You know, I'd bribed the projectionist ten bucks to keep the place open late.

Susan Storm: Really?

Reed Richards: Mm.

Susan Storm: I gave him twenty!

Reed Richards: [Susan unexpectedly generates a force field which knocks Reed off his chair]

Susan Storm: I'm so sorry! Are you OK?

Reed Richards: Yeah.

Susan Storm: You're sure?

Reed Richards: Yeah.

Susan Storm: I - uh - you probably thought that was some form of latent hostility.

Reed Richards: What in the world would give me that idea?

Reed Richards: His internal organs are completely solid.

Susan Storm: [invisible] Look at me!

Reed Richards: I can't.

Reed Richards: I found a broken gasket from space.

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.

Reed Richards: [to Sue after she switches powers with Johnny] You're on fire!

Susan Storm: [shrieking] You think?

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.

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.

[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]

[from trailer]

Susan Storm: I understand. I'm not angry.

Reed Richards: Good.

[turns around starts to walk away. Steps into an invisible force field]

Susan Storm: I'm not finished yet!

Reed Richards: [turns around, speech is muffled by the force field] Please continue.

Susan Storm: Guys, we have a problem! He's here!

Reed Richards: Sue, get out of there!

Susan Storm: Why are you trying to destroy us?

The Silver Surfer: I have no choice.

Susan Storm: There's always a choice.

The Silver Surfer: Not always!

Susan Storm: Reed, I know you. I'm glad you had fun.

Reed Richards: Thank you.

Susan Storm: Besides, it was nothing compared to what I did at my bachelorette party. Talk about wild.

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

Reed Richards: Of course!

Reed Richards: General Hager.

General Hager: Let's talk somewhere private.

Susan Storm: Unless you need to do Jell-O shots off someone's stomach.

Victor von Doom: Now, let's be clear about this, shall we? I hate you.

[looks pointedly at Sue Storm]

Victor von Doom: All of you. But the world's at stake and we need to work together to survive.

Reed Richards: [to Hager] General, we know firsthand - you trust Victor and you're gonna regret it.

General Hager: So far, the only one I've regretted trusting here is you, Richards.
