Dr. David Banner quotes from The Incredible Hulk

David Banner

Anger. Elaina, I was angry, and upset. And last night I was angry too. I left the lab, I was - I was so totally frustrated because of our - our failure with the research, and then there was the rain, the storm, the flat tire. [pause] And when I blacked out, I remember I was furious.

David Banner

I love you, Elaina. I think you loved me too. Although you never said it.

You on the road, too?

David Banner

Sort of, yes.

Ahh, running from or going to?

David Banner

Little beach.

One of those, huh? Six months of running from all of it was blisters. I'm gonna go back.

David Banner

Where's back?

Portland. You headed North, too?

David Banner

Oh, sort of.

Look um, maybe this is outta line, and I don't mean it as a come on. But uh, I could really use someone to travel with. I mean, a girl alone on the road is bad enough and with this creature running around, I'm really scared.

[voice in David's head] As long as this creature is running loose, everyone's life is in danger.

[voice in David's head] He crushed her.

David Banner

I think you better go on alone.

Oh well um, suit yourself. [they shake hands] But you can't run around in circles forever.

David Banner

Be safe.

Thank you.

David Banner

Good luck.

Hey is something wrong?

You need some help?

David Banner

No uh... I thought I was lost.

Well, have you any other references?

I'm afraid not.

[to Ellen] Hire him.

Mr. Joslin--

Hire him, Ellen. Don't argue. [to David] I'm James Joslin.

David Blaine.

I hire people on my gut reaction to them. I think we'll get along fine.

Well, thank you. I'm sure that we will.

Ellen, show Mr. Blaine to Sanderson's room. And see if you can find some clothes that will fit him. He looks about the same size. [to David] Why don't you shower and change, be down here again in thirty minutes.

David Banner

Yes, sir. I will.

[to Elkin] He's the one from last night. I'm positive.

[looking at a newspaper] Hey, there's that McGee guy.

David Banner

Where?

No no, right here in the paper. Take a look. [shows David the paper with a fuzzy picture of the Hulk, laughs] That guy is too much. You know, he actually claims there's a big green creature running around the country killing people. Look at that picture. It's all fuzzy like those phoney flying saucer pictures. You know, I bet it's McGee dressed up in a green suit. It's just the kinda things the Register would do to sell papers.

Jack McGee

[speaking on the phone] Hello.

David Banner

[speaking on the phone] Hello, is this uh, Mr. McGee of The National Register?

Jack McGee

That's right. What can I do for you?

David Banner

Uh, are you acquainted with a man by the name of Edward Campion?

Jack McGee

Yeah. I wasn't acquainted. He's a very good friend. Who is this? Your voice sounds very familiar.

David Banner

[nervously] Look, I don't have time for long explanations, but uh... I'm afraid he's been in a very serious accident. He's been hurt very badly.

Jack McGee

When?

David Banner

About an hour ago. He was hit by a car.

Jack McGee

Where is he now?

David Banner

At the Las Vegas Memorial Hospital, and he's in critical condition. Now, he gave me a tape recorder to give to you. It seemed very important to him.

Jack McGee

A tape? Why would he give that to you?

David Banner

Because I was with him in the ambulance after it happened. Now, I left it at the front desk and you can get it from the clerk.

Jack McGee

Well, why don't you just bring it up? I'd like to talk to you.

David Banner

[nervously] No, I really don't have time. Oh yeah, but there was one other thing. He wanted me to tell you, that Wanda has the key.

Jack McGee

What key?

David Banner

I have no idea.

Jack McGee

Listen, your voice really sounds familiar. You sure I don't know you?

David Banner

[nervously] No, I don't think so. I mean, I suppose it's possible.

Jack McGee

Well, in that case, why don't you just come on up here and tell me what is going on?

David Banner

[nervously] No, I can't. I really- I have to get to work. I don't have the time.

Jack McGee

Hey listen, can you excuse me for just one second, there's somebody at the door. I think it's room service. Just hang on. There's one more important question that I'd like to ask you about Campion.

Joanie

What happened? And how'd you get up here anyway?

David Banner

In this car I saw them take you.

Joanie

You came back to help me?

David Banner

Yes.

Joanie

Why? [pause] Thanks. [pause] And that creature attack you too?

David Banner

Uh... I had an attack, yes. [pause] I really have to buy shirts that stretch.

Joanie

What?

David Banner

Oh nothing.

Joanie

[looking in her rear view mirror as the truck is coming after them] Why is there never a cop when you need one.

Joanie

[waking up] David... I thought...

David Banner

Come on. We've gotta down the highway and get some help.

Joanie

At least we came out alive.

David Banner

Yeah.

David Banner

By the way, thank you for the clothes.

Joanie

Are you kidding? After all you went through for me. A few new clothes is the least I could do. I'm sorry I couldn't afford more.

David Banner

Look, I think until you get your insurance money, hm. You better save every penny you can. What about that reward?

Joanie

Oh, it's coming too. Couple of weeks. Those guys really had some operation, huh?

David Banner

Mmm.

Joanie

David.

David Banner

Mm-hm.

Joanie

I'd like to share that reward with you.

David Banner

That would be nice, but I really have to leave.

Joanie

I'd like to share more than that with you.

David Banner

How about lunch?

Joanie

[smiles] That's a start.

David Banner

Yeah.

[on the phone] Hello.

David Banner

[on the phone] Uh, Dr. Patterson.

Yes.

David Banner

Hello, this is Ted Hammond of the Nuclear Research Facility in San Tomas California.

Oh, yes, Mr. Hammond, how are you?

David Banner

Fine, fine. Thank you. Listen, about your inspection trip tomorrow.

No problem. Have your letter right here. And I'll bring the stress analysis program. Borrowed one of the universities prototypes.

David Banner

Yes, yes. Fine, but uh, you see, Doctor, the reason for the call. Well, a rather urgent administrative problem has come up.

Nothing serious I hope.

David Banner

No, no. It's just that, well I think it might be better if you were to delay your trip one more day, and that would give me a chance to get free so that I could assist you personally when you arrive.

No problem, Mr. Hammond. Things come up, I understand.

David Banner

Fine. Well, thank you very much, Doctor, and I'll see you in two days. Goodbye.

Oh, it's you, Dr. Patterson.

David Banner

Hi. My documents ready?

Have them right here. I just think it's awful the way you were robbed of all your identification. You just can't trust people anymore.

David Banner

Mmm.

That'll be 100 dollars please.

David Banner

[short pause] This morning it was 75.

Well, that was this morning. My arthritis is kicking up. Had to see my doctor. You understand about those things. Right? Doctor? [David is about to walk out]

David Banner

Bye.

Wait a minute, Doctor.

David Banner

I think I can get what I need without being robbed.

All right. 75.

David Banner

Doctor! Dr. Fields!

Dr. Carolyn Fields

Yes.

David Banner

Hi, I'm David Benton. I know that you're not taking anymore patients right now, but I really do need your help. You see, I have a highly unusual neurosynaptic dysfunction, which renders me subject of violent outbursts of anger. Now I've tried... radical radiological and chemotherapeutic treatments, but nothing seems to help. And I uh, I came to you because, well, not only your reputation as a psychiatrist, but also from what I've been reading about your new use of hypnosis in therapy, I really think you could be the answer to my problem.

Dr. Carolyn Fields

Well, I'm sure the institute could arrange for you to meet someone on our staff. If you'll just uh, leave your...

David Banner

Oh, really please, Doctor, that would be like going to Michelangelo and then ending up with one of his apprentices.

Dr. Carolyn Fields

Some of our apprentices are really quite good.

David Banner

But they're not you, and I really do need the best. Would it help if I informed you that I'm a physician?

Dr. Carolyn Fields

Mr. Benton - Dr. Benton, I've turned over my entire case of patients to my associates. I'm leaving the institute for quite a while.

David Banner

Doctor, if I could just...

Dr. Carolyn Fields

If you have a severe personal problem then surely you can appreciate it when someone else has one.

David Banner

Doctor, if you only knew how hard it was for me to get to Hawaii to see you.

Dr. Carolyn Fields

You swim?

David Banner

Almost, yes.

Dr. Carolyn Fields

Sorry. [getting into her car] Look, I'll talk to Dr. Maxwell myself. He'll be expecting you.

David Banner

Doctor, please. If you could just take a little time to understand my problem.

Dr. Carolyn Fields

Time is the one thing I don't have. I'm really very sorry.

David Banner

In your case, would you say that there's a major failure of the cell tissue to regenerate itself?

Dr. Carolyn Fields

Yes.

David Banner

Hm.

Dr. Carolyn Fields

Excuse me, how do you...

David Banner

I um... I was involved with advanced genetic research on related deceases at the Culver Institute in California.

Dr. Carolyn Fields

At Culver? Did you work with David Banner?

David Banner

Quite closely.

Dr. Carolyn Fields

Why did he suddenly abandon his research on diseases such as mine?

David Banner

His wife died... And after that his work... took on other priorities.

Dr. Carolyn Fields

What a shame. His work in the area of my disease was brilliant, it was pioneering.

David Banner

Thank you.

Dr. Carolyn Fields

David Banner was killed in a lab fire.

David Banner

[shakes head] No.

Dr. Carolyn Fields

[realising] Why haven't you told people you're alive?

David Banner

Have you read much of Robert Louis Stevenson?

Dr. Carolyn Fields

Treasure Island?

David Banner

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

Dr. Carolyn Fields

[looking at a picture of the Hulk] Oh my God.

David Banner

I've come to you because of your pioneering work in using hypnosis to help physical ailments. I think that hypnotherapy could help me control that.

Dr. Carolyn Fields

I can't help you, David. Not that my hypnotherapy couldn't help you, it might. The disease I have is terminal. The latest test results give me six to eight weeks to live. That's all. I have to devote my entire energy to try to egress the progression of this disease. I'm using my own hypnosis on myself to try to consciously control my own physiognomy. That's why I left the institute, my patients, why I was under hypnosis tonight. Why I have to spend every moment concentrating on me. [pause] Sounds pretty selfish, doesn't it? But it's... it's my life.

David Banner

[smiles] Would you like some help?

Dr. Carolyn Fields

[smiles] From David Banner? Of course I would. It doesn't seem quite fair.

David Banner

Well, maybe if we can make more time for you. There'll be time for me.
