The Incredible Hulk

The Incredible Hulk (2008) is a superhero film based on the fictional Marvel Comics character The Hulk.

Bruce Banner

• [Speaking Portuguese badly] Don't make me hungry. You wouldn't like me when I'm hungry. (Pause, then in English) Wait, that's not right.

General Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross

• Fire! God-damn it!

Emil Blonsky

• I've run into bad situations on cram missions before. I've seen good men go down purely because someone didn't let us in on what we were walking into, I've moved onto the next one, 'cause that's what we do, right? I mean that's the job, but THIS... This is a whole new level of weird, and I don't feel inclined to step away from it. So if you're taking another crack at him... I want in. AND with respect, you should be looking for a team that's prepped and ready to fight, because if that thing shows up again... you're going to have a lot of professional "Tough Guys" PISSING in their PANTS... Sir.

• [To the Hulk] Is that it? Is that all you've got?

• (First lines) Is he a fighter?

Abomination

• [The Hulk punches him in the neck, but he recovers] Is that all you've got?
• [While strangling the Hulk] You don't deserve this power! Now watch her DIE!! [Stabs him in the chest with his elbow spike]
• [To the military] Give me a REAL fight!
• [Hearing a load roar behind him] Hulk!
• [To the Hulk] Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! C'MON!
• [Looking for the Hulk] Hulk...
• [While being fired at by a helicopter] ROSS!
• [To Ross] General... any last words?

Hulk

• (After defeating the Abomination) RRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGHHHH!!!!
• HULK... SMASH!!
• Leave me alone. (4 seconds before pushing the soda cart)

Dialogue

[Ross and Blonsky meet after their failed attempt to capture Banner]

Emil Blonsky: Forgive me, sir? Doesn’t anybody want to talk about what went down in there? ‘Cause… He didn’t lose us. And he was not alone sir. We had him. And then something hit us… Something big hit us!

[Ross is still silent; taking all this in]

Emil Blonsky: [Frantic] It threw a forklift truck like it was a softball!!! [Breathing; more calmly] It was the most powerful thing I’ve ever seen.

Gen. Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross: Well it’s gone.

Emil Blonsky: Well, if Banner knows what it is, I’m gonna track him down, I’m gonna put my foot on his throat, and I’m gonna…

Gen. Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross: [Interupting] That was Banner.

[Blonsky looks at him dumbfounded]

Gen. Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross: It… was Banner.

Emil Blonsky: You have to explain that statement, sir.

Gen. Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross: No I don’t.

[Blonsky stares at him]

Gen. Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross: You’ve done a good job. Pack up and get our men on a plane. We’re going home.

---

Gen. Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross: Banner’s work was very early phase. It wasn’t even weapons application. He thought he was working on radiation resistance. I would never have told him what the project really was. But he was so sure of what he was onto, that he tested it on himself. And something went very wrong. Or it went very right. As far as I’m concerned, that man’s whole body is property of the US Army.

Emil Blonsky: You said he wasn’t working on weapons, right?

Gen. Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross: No.

Emil Blonsky: But you were. You were, weren’t you? You were trying other things.

Gen. Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross: One serum we developed… was very promising.

Emil Blonsky: So why did he run?

Gen. Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross: He’s a scientist. He is not one of us.

---

Gen. Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross: You did the right thing, calling us. I need to know where they’re going. She’ll be in incredible danger as long as she’s with him.

Dr. Leonard Samson: From who? He protected her. You almost killed her.

Gen. Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross: I give you my word, her safety is my main concern at this point.

Dr. Leonard Samson: You know, it’s a point of professional pride for me that I can tell when somebody’s lying. [Smiles bleakly] And you are.

[Ross stares at him]

Dr. Leonard Samson: I don’t know where he’s going. I know she’ll help him if she can.

Gen. Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross: Then she’s aiding a fugitive. And I can’t help either one of them. [Walks away]

Dr. Leonard Samson: I used to wonder why she never talked about you. Now I know.

Gen. Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross: [As he’s getting into his car] Where does she meet these guys?

Betty Ross: What is it like? When it happens, what do you experience?

Bruce Banner: Remember those experiments we volunteered for at Harvard? Those induced hallucination? It’s a lot like that, just a thousand times amplified. It’s like someone poured a litre of acid into my brain.

Betty Ross: Do you remember anything?

Bruce Banner: Just fragments. Images. There’s too much noise. I can never derive anything out of it.

Betty Ross: But then it’s still you inside of it.

Bruce Banner: No. No, it’s not.

Betty Ross: I don’t know. In the cave, I really felt like it knew me. Maybe your mind is in there, it’s just overcharged and can’t process what’s happening.

Bruce Banner: I don’t want to control it. I want to get rid of it.

Major Kathleen "Kat" Sparr: Sir, Blonsky...

Gen. Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross: Does anyone know if he had any next-of-kin or family?

Major Kathleen "Kat" Sparr: Ask him yourself...

Emil Blonsky: [salutes Ross] Sir!

Betty Ross: The subway is probably quickest.

Bruce Banner: Me in a metal tube, deep underground with hundreds of people in the most aggressive city in the world?

Betty Ross: Right. Let's get a cab.

Taxi Driver: Hey, you drive like a woman.

Betty Ross: Are you out of your mind?!

Taxi Driver:TBA

Betty Ross:(growling) Asshole!

---

General Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross: Betty.

Betty Ross: I will never forgive what you’ve done to him.

General Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross: He’s a fugitive.

Betty Ross: You made him a fugitive… to cover your failures, and to protect your career. Don’t ever speak to me as your daughter again.

General Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross: It’s only because you’re my daughter that you’re not in handcuffs too.

---

Major Kathleen "Kat" Sparr: Are you telling me you can make more like him?

Dr. Samuel Sterns: No, not yet! I've sorted out a few pieces, but it's not like I can put together the same HUMPTY DUMPTY, if that's what you're asking. He was a FREAK ACCIDENT, the GOAL is to do it BETTER!

Major Kathleen "Kat" Sparr: So Banner was the only- wait- [knocked unconscience]

Emil Blonsky: Ahh, she's an annoying bitch, isn't she?

Dr. Samuel Sterns: Why are you always hitting people?!

[Blonsky pulls out his gun and points it at Dr. Sterns]

Dr. Samuel Sterns: Now what... could I have possibly done... to deserve such aggression?

Emil Blonsky: It's not what you've done, it's what you're gonna do.

[Dr. Sterns raises his head, interested]

Emil Blonsky: I want what you've got off Banner, I want that.

Dr. Samuel Sterns: [rising] You look like... you've got a little something in you already, don't you?

Emil Blonsky: Yeah, well, I want more. You've seen what he becomes, right?

Dr. Samuel Sterns: I have... and it's beautiful... Godlike.

Emil Blonsky: I want that... I need that... Make me that.

Dr. Samuel Sterns: I don't know what you've got inside you already... the mixture could become... an Abomination.

[Blonsky grabs Dr. Sterns by the collar and raises him into the air]

Dr. Samuel Sterns: [Choking] I didn't say I was unwilling... I just need informed consent...

[Blonsky lowers Dr. Sterns down lightly so they're face to face, but he's still in the air]

Dr. Samuel Sterns: [Still choking] ...and you've given it!

General Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross: [to a gunner in his helicopter while watching Hulk and Abomination fight on the rooftops] Help him.

Gunner: Which one.

General Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross: The green one dammit cut the other one in half.

---

Abomination: (About to finish Hulk off with a huge chain) General... any last words? (Hulk quickly gets to his feet)

Hulk: HULK... SMASH!! (He smashes the ground)

[After movie, Before Credits. A Dirty Bar]

General Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross: [To the Barkeep] Reload.

[Ross chugs the shot]

General Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross: [To the Barkeep] Reload.

[The Bar door opens and a shadowy figure, in a really nice suit, enters the Bar]

Shadowy Figure: Mmmm, the smell of stale beer and defeat. Y'know, I hate to say "I told you so" general, but that Super-Soldier program was put on ice for a reason.

[The figure turns around revealing himself to be Tony Stark]

Tony Stark: I've always felt that hardware was much more reliable.

General Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross: Stark.

Tony Stark: General.

General Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross: You always wear such nice suits.

Tony Stark: Touché... I hear you have an unusual problem.

General Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross: You should talk.

Tony Stark: You should listen.

[The General leans in a bit]

Tony Stark: [in more of a whisper] What if I told you we were putting a team together?

General Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross: Who's "we"?

[Stark clears his throat, looks at the General, and smiles.]
