The Incredible Hulk quotes

Sheila Cantrell

I was upstairs in my room when I heard them fighting.

Terri and Joslin?

Sheila Cantrell

[shakes her head] I went down to see if there was anything I could do. But they were into it too far. [talks during a flashback] James was furious, screaming that she was blackmailing him into marriage.

Was she?

Sheila Cantrell

Yes. She'd been wanting James to marry her for years, but he'd always backed out. She wasn't gonna let that happen again. Terri told him that she knew he'd been embezzling money from the company, using it to pay off old debts. And if he didn't marry her, she was going to go to the police. James couldn't convince her to back down. He started toward her, and then she screamed. I wanted to help her, but my legs wouldn't move. I just watched. Watched as he picked up one of those metal statues and hit her. He hit her in the back with it. Killed her.

What about the creature?

Sheila Cantrell

I don't know where he came from. We heard the dogs howling, and then there was this enormous crash. [talks during a flashback] We heard him come up the stairs and down the hallway. Big heavy steps. And then there was this roar. The creature came into the room like an angry animal. He was furious at something. It was James. He started toward him, knocking anything in his path. James tried to hide behind the display case, but the creature just smashed it to the ground. James ran out passed Sanderson and me. He must've come down during the fight. We turned as the creature roared. And then the strangest thing happened. He walked over to Terri, kneeled, and picked her up, tenderly, as if he really cared about her. It was, well, in a strange way, it was touching. The creature actually seemed to be crying over her death. I watched him for a while and... and then I ran.

Leaving Sanderson behind.

Sheila Cantrell

I'm not sure how much he saw.

To blackmail Joslin. Then he was the man that I chased out of the mansion.

Sheila Cantrell

You were inside?

Mm-hmm. Who was in his sports car?

Sheila Cantrell

Elkin. James didn't want his new Joslin girl involved in any investigation. So, he told me to tell everyone that I was the one driving the car.

He also told you not to go to the police.

Sheila Cantrell

Yes.

Are you going to now?

Sheila Cantrell

David, my whole career depends on James. Anyway, who'd believe me?

Well, with Sanderson backing you up. Everybody.

Sheila Cantrell

We don't even know where he is.

I think I do.

It's a nice jacket. Used to have one just like it when I worked for Joslin.

If you think he sent me here. You're wrong. I'm here to ask you to go to the police.

For what?

To tell them you saw Joslin kill Terri Smith, that it wasn't the creature.

[laughs] I'm afraid you don't know what you're talking about.

You were standing in the doorway with Sheila Cantrell when he did it. That's what Sheila told me. And that's what she's gonna tell the police.

She's going to the police?

Mm-hmm. And the only way you can avoid blackmail charges is to go with it.

Wait a minute. She told you that she was going to the police, and you believed her?

Yes.

[laughs] You're outta your mind.

Sheila Cantrell

[showing up with Elkin (whose pointing a gun) and Joslin] I'm afraid he's right, David. Because James didn't kill Terri. I did.

Sheila Cantrell

[seeing the Hulk charging towards them] Oh my God, it's him!

Shoot him! [grabs the gun off Sheila] Shoot him!

Well, what about the creature?

Jack McGee

Well, the creature maybe clear of this murder, but he's still a threat to society. I've been here trying to track him down. I only hope that the local police can say the same.

Jack McGee

Here's to Joan Jacobs, Paterson, New Jersey.

Robert Benson

Whose Joan Jacobs?

Jack McGee

The last eyewitness to spot the Hulk. She's pulling her driveway one night about three weeks ago and there he was. Lights must've startled him because he stood in front of her car long enough for her to make an accurate if somewhat hysterical description.

Robert Benson

[laughs] So that's what you're doing in New York. You think this Hulk of yours is taking in a few Broadway shows.

Jack McGee

The Hulk's no joke, Bobby. He's real. And he's a killer. He's also the biggest knockdown, drag-out, five-star final that I have ever latched on to.

Robert Benson

And that's why you spent the last six months tracking down every sighting of your creature. Chicago, St. Louis, Cleveland. Jack, your lucky that paper of yours hasn't kicked you right out on your ear. This thing is becoming an obsession with you.

Jack McGee

Well, maybe so. But right now the Hulk is down there, somewhere. I'm gonna find him.

David, you're terrific. You really know how to handle people without getting angry.

Oh, are you saying you kissed me because I didn't bodily throw you out of the arcade?

No. I kissed you because you helped me study for my diagnostic exam. I aced it!

Oh, not bad for a first year intern, Doctor.

Not bad at all.

Actually, all I did was check the answers in your text book.

No, David, that's not quite true. Most of the answers you correct you didn't even have to look in the book. You knew.

Told you, I had several years in the medical corps.

You know, since you arrived here three weeks ago I've been asking you questions and you've been dancing right around them like Rudolph Nureyev. You're an intelligent, articulate man. And you should not be working in this arcade.

Yes, I know that. Yes. Well, I've seriously been considering announcing my candidacy for the mayor of New York. I really think I have a chance. Big chance.

David, be serious.

I can't. Your father won't allow it during working hours. And I really don't think that this is a time and the place for a deep, philosophical conversation.

You're right. That's why I'm taking you upstairs for some homemade Pecan pie. You'll talk better on a full stomach.

No, I can't do that either. You see, I have to get together with Harold, and we have to close up the arcade tonight.

David, I'm the bosses daughter, right? [David nods] Don't argue with me.

You happy now? That lane's just as bad. Now we're stuck.

You should've cut him off! I told you, this is an emergency!

So next time, call you an ambulance. We'll get there when we get there, mister.

[eyes have started to turn green] I've got to be there by five!

Hey, mister, you're gonna be ten minutes late, so just keep your shirt on.

Robert Benson

Hey, Jack, that green creature of yours was just seen running through Times Square.

Jack McGee

Heading which way?

Robert Benson

[speaking on the phone] Heading which way? Towards Park Avenue.

Well, you're on time. I appreciate that.

I didn't kill Leo, Jason. [pulls a gun out]

What the... Somebody stop him! Get him!

Get away from me!

Jack McGee

Well, Bobby, still think I'm wasting my time?

Robert Benson

[sighs] It's a big city out there, Jack. How can you be sure he's down there?

Jack McGee

Oh, I can't. Like I said in my column, I intend to comb every mile of it until I find out.

You're not gonna tell me why, are you?

No.

Can you tell me where?

[short pause] California, I suppose. I'm not sure.

David, whatever the problem is--

It cannot be solved here. Not at this time. Believe me.

[smiles] Okay.

Okay.

For what it's worth.

[smiles] It's worth a lot.

[on the phone] Neuroradiology, Dr. Charles's Office?

[on the phone] Uh yes, my name is David Brown. I'm very anxious to speak to Dr. Charles. It's extremely important.

Well, he's not in yet. Are you a patient?

No I'm not, but I have a highly unusual synoptic dysfunction which occurs sporadically, and I'm convinced that Dr. Charles's research on gamma rays and neuropsychology can help me.

I'm sorry, sir. But Dr. Charles is leaving this afternoon for his lecture in Europe.

Well, when is he leaving?

Five o'clock.

Well look, I'm in San Francisco. I'll get the first flight out.

San Francisco? Well, if it's that important, I'll make sure he sees you. If you can get here before he leaves.

Yes, it is that important and I'll be there. Thank you very much.

It might interest you to know that your plan wouldn't've worked even if I hadn't been on this flight.

What do you mean?

The amount of drugs you gave to each one of these men, they never would've awakened in time to land this plane. Now everyone out there is going to die unless we find a pilot!

[tearfully] Where's Phil?

In the hold unconscious.

[tearfully] Oh my God.

David, there's no one left to land this plane.

[short pause] I know.

[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.
