Harlan Bates quotes from The Incredible Hulk

I want you to pull everything out of this room starting with the big boxes over there. And I want you to scrub the room. And then I want you to inventory all this gear.

[sighs] You're the boss.

[squashes a beer can] That's right. [throws the can on the floor] I'm the boss. [David picks up the beer can] What's the matter? Are you worried? I mean, a smart guy like you, huh? You're always uh, spoutin' off about education to Sam. Now's your chance to show her how an educated man can take a tough job like this, see how you can make it uh... simple.

Look, I'm not trying to interfere with you and Samantha... [Harlan pushes David]

Sam is none of your business. Now, you just uh... you just get crackin'. Go on. [David gets to work] You know, Barton, I think I got you figured. I mean, someone like you doesn't come hiking all the way up here for the health now do they? [pause] Or was it the law? Jealous husband? Something worse? [David breaks the wood off with a crowbar, he gets a cut on his hand] Too tough for you, David. You wanna quit? Guys like you, you make a habit of running away. [David takes a box down, he looks at his hand] I know your kind.

Do you?

Yeah. Big shots. I can't stand having someone tell 'em what to do. They uh, have little tantrums, Davey? Why don't you let loose on me and uh, just get it out of your system.

[to Brad] We're uh- You're here just in time to see college boy here take me on hand to hand, huh?

Brad

[laughs] That I wanna see.

Come on, you gonna take a punch at me or not? Or lose your job. Not if you win. [David says nothing] Huh? [angrily] You hear me?!

Brad

Hey, hey, hey, whoa, whoa, whoa. Let's get something to eat. Come on, Harlan.

[to David] I'll be back, yeah. Make sure you do it right now. Don't forget the boxes.

Brad

[laughs] Harlan, you're too much!

Brad

Harlan, we've got a problem!

Look at the size of that thing!

[to Brad] Just hold your ground now. I mean there's two of us. [The Hulk throws down a shelf]

Brad

That ain't gonna be enough!

Look out! Here he comes! Get outta here! [The Hulk punches Harlan and throws him out the doorway]

David Banner

You're not serious, are you, about trying to hunt that creature down?

Oh, I'm not gonna try. I'm gonna do it.

Harlan! Harlan Bates!

Knock it off, Harlan! It's me David! Harlan, I'm coming up there!

Dammit, Harlan!

You know, you just wrecked a lotta hard work.

I suppose it doesn't matter that I was almost killed in the process?

It would've served you right, Barton. Now why don't you just get outta here before you fowl up everything.

No, I'm not going anywhere until you go with me! Harlan, that so called posse back there is out for blood! And as a professional one who would just love to kill you...

I can take care of myself!

Well, what about Samantha? She doesn't want a dead father, Harlan!

I think you uh... you've said enough. As a matter of fact, you said too much. Now get outta here! [pushes David]

[shouts] Hey! Up here! Everybody! Up here!...

You're fired, Barton!

Yeah, he asked for that anyway.

Harlan... [walks away with his troops]

Yeah, almost got away with it.

Brad

What are you talkin' about? This whole town's got itself a transfusion. Harlan, we're back in business.

David. What about David?

He was just up here trying to make me understand what I was doing. I think we better find him. I've got some apologising to do. To both of you.
