Betty Ross: [examining a statue straight Bruce] He's paralyzed, just like the rest of the men were.

Rick Jones: He sure is. It ought to be wearing off pretty soon though.

Rick Jones: Relax. I told you, it was an accident.

Bruce Banner: Do you understand now why I worry about you? And Betty? And everybody close to me?

Rick Jones: Well, it better hurry.

Computer: Information computed shows only one thing can defeat the sonar crystalliser. The Hulk. The Hulk. The Hulk. The Hulk.

Stan Lee: [Narrates] Hi gang, this is Stan Lee. What do you say we take a little trip just to keep the Hulk company. Here we are in Paris, home of the mighty Arc de Triomphe. The famous Eiffel Tower and, of course, the ancient, mysterious cathedral which was the home of one of fictions most grotesque characters: Quasimodo, the hunchback of Notre Dame.

---

Stan Lee: [Narrates] You've probably figured it out by now. He's not the original Quasimodo. He's not even the ghost of Quasimodo.

The first Quasimodo was kind-hearted and good.
