Thing(As an alarm goes off) They're playin' my song.
ThingOh, yada yada yada, let's get going already. We get hassled underwater by Prince Namor, bugged in ancient Greece by Doctor Doom, and now we're stranded in a cockamamie cavern! Just once, I'd like a problem that took us to Vegas.
ThingThat's the dame, alright. Spiked collar, red cape... hey, that reminds me, Mother's Day is coming up soon.
Thing(To Thor) Son of Odin, eh? Thou has ticked off Ben Grimm, son of Mr. and Mrs. Grimm!
Now, then, about your experiments, professor - they won't be dangerous, noisy or smelly, will they?
ThingHey! I'm dangerous, noisy and smelly!
ThingCould you give us that again in Swahili?
You don't understand Swahili!
ThingWell, I don't understand nothing you just said, neither.
Doom! Show yourself, you coward. Where's Susan?
ThingOw! Hey, Watch it, hothead. You're cooking my corns.
This is pretty uninspired. The big, bad Doctor Doom kidnapping me just to lure us here to your wretched little island?
Yes, I'm so sorry to involve you in the timeworn damsel-in-distress cliché, Mrs. Richards. I fear the only thing missing is the onrushing train! However, sometimes expediency outweighs originality. Now, with your permission... [Leaves]
ThingGoin' somewhere, Doc?
Let go of me, you pathetic monstrosity! You brainless baboon! Did you think me defenseless? You are feeling the weight of the worid on your misformed shoulders. My bipolar amplifier increases the force of gravity on you a thousandfold. No! It's not possible!
ThingYou! You're the reason. I'm the Thing again. The reason Alicia ain't never gonna have a normal life with me. Now you're gonna pay!
Ben! Ben, Wait!
Big guy, easy!
ThingBack off, kid. This is between me and metalface!
Ben! Ben, please!
Let him go! We're not murderers.
You leave me no choice but to act for the greater good. I've just destroyed the fusion limiters from Reed Richards' dimensional reactor. In exactly one minute, it will create a minute tear in the space-time continuum, reducing this building - and, regrettably, most of Manhattan - to cosmic dust! Let it weigh on your souls. A pity, really... [Sighs] I never did get to see Cats.
[The Seeker jettisons Mr. Fantastic, Invisible Woman and Thing from his ship]
ThingCongratulations, Mr. Big Brain. Now we know everything about them un-humans except where they stashed Torchy.
I had to keep the Seeker talking, Ben. To buy enough time to place a homing device on his ship.
[chuckles and embraces Mr. Fantastic] Oh, Reed. At times like this, I remember why I married you.
Ben, grab that power pack and follow me! I have an idea!
Thing"I have an idea." The four scariest words in the English language...
At last, the Black Panther's prey has arrived.
ThingOh, yeah? Puss-in-Boots' prey? Well, you better start prayin' I don't catch you!
T'Challa, the world has many dangers. For your people's sake - and the entire world's - a man with your powers can never rest.
ThingSo what do you say?
Then... let the monument of the Panther stand tall! The Black Panther is ready to stalk again.
Hear me, Galactus.
Holy smokes!
ThingAm I missin' something? Is everybody around here on fire but me?
They call me Ghost Rider. I am summoned when innocent blood is shed... and you have shed much innocent blood.
Ghost Rider? I-I thought he was a myth...!
ThingWho called him anyway? And when did this become a superhero convention?
Do you dare face the agony of those you have slain?
Mortal or demon, whichever you be, begone. Galactus has no time for games.
This is no game. (Using the Penance Stare) Feel the torment of a billion billion extinguished souls. Experience the pain of eternal guilt!
(Clutching head amid ghostly wailing) No! [Falls]
My task is complete. I leave you now, Galactus, in mortal hands.
(Pounding the Invisible Woman's force field) Why pretty girls always try to help ugly rock creature?
Thing'cause I floss, moss-mouth.
ThingHey, that's the Surfer's ride you're on!
Quite true, you insufferable blot on the escutcheon of humanity. And as possessor of his cosmic powers, I am now veritably undefeatable
ThingYeah? That's the same mouthful you mumbled the last time you stole the Surfer's gig, metal-puss, and you ended up gettin' your tin tail shellacked by Galactus!
I assure you, that is not an error I will repeat. I've monitored Galactus' movements for months. At the moment, he is quite occupied at the other end of the galaxy. Now, feel the limitless power in these very hands which you once nearly crushed! [punches him]
