Quotes
-
Reed Richards : I'm trying to figure out why we each ended up with different symptoms.
Johnny Storm : Oh, well that's easy: I'm hot. You're... well, you're a little limp. Sue's easy to see through. And Ben's always been a hardass.
-
Susan Storm : It's got to be the cloud! It's fundamentally altered our DNA!
Reed Richards : Now, let's not jump to conclusions. We need a massive amount of evidence before making that leap.
Johnny Storm : Hey, guys!
[his thumb is on fire. He snaps his fingers, and it goes out. He snaps it on again, then off again]
Johnny Storm : Now picture that... But everywhere! I mean... Everywhere! *What*?
Reed Richards : ...The cloud has fundamentally altered our DNA.
-
Victor Von Doom : [proposing to Sue Storm] Four words, Sue. Four words that will change our lives forever...
Reed Richards : [interrupting] The cloud is accelerating!
-
Ben Grimm : You know, living through something like this you really appreciate having the right woman in your life.
Reed Richards : Yeah, you and Debbie are perfect.
Ben Grimm : I'm not talking about Debbie.
[indicates to Sue]
Reed Richards : What? Come on! She's got a good thing with Victor. He's smart, he's powerful, he's successful...
Ben Grimm : [coy] Well, maybe *you* should date him, then!
Reed Richards : [smiles] Ben, she ended up with the right guy. Everything's worked out for the best.
[Reed walks away]
Ben Grimm : [shakes his head] Do I have to do everything myself?
-
[Susan's invisibility has worn off and she's now standing in front of a crowd in her underwear]
Reed Richards : I see you've been working out.
Susan Storm : Shut up!
-
Reed Richards : How many times have I ever asked you to do something that you said you absolutely could not do?
Ben Grimm : Five times.
[walks off]
Reed Richards : I had it at four.
Ben Grimm : [from offscreen] Well, this makes five!
-
Johnny Storm : All right, I'm here, let's make this quick, I've got a lot of places to go today. Oh wait - I don't go anywhere!
Reed Richards : Johnny, it's imperative that we stay inside for the foreseeable future.
Johnny Storm : I know, I know, but when you said that last time my brain hurt a week.
Susan Storm : Johnny, it's too dangerous for you to be in public.
Johnny Storm : You've been saying that for years.
-
Susan Storm : Johnny, you were at 4,000 Kelvin! Any hotter, and you're approaching supernova!
Johnny Storm : Sweet!
Susan Storm : No, not sweet! That's the temperature of the sun!
Reed Richards : And not only could you kill yourself, but you could set fire to Earth's atmosphere and destroy all human life as we know it.
Johnny Storm : Got it. Supernova, bad.
[gives two thumbs up]
-
Reed Richards : [Talking about his home] So what do you think?
Johnny Storm : I don't know Reed, I think you might be taking you work home with you.
-
Reed Richards : [extends his arm, stretching it under a metal door, and bringing his hand up to the window on the other side]
Johnny Storm : That's gross!
-
Reed Richards : Exposure to a high energy cosmic storm could advance our knowledge of planetary life.
Victor Von Doom : Same old Reed, always stretching, reaching for the stars.
-
Reed Richards : [while fighting Victor Von Doom] Johnny! Supernova!
Johnny Storm : I thought we agreed that was bad!
Reed Richards : Now!
-
Ben Grimm : [complaining about Johnny] That underwear model washed out at NASA for bringing two Victoria's Secret wannabes into a flight simulator.
Reed Richards : Youthful high spirits.
Ben Grimm : They crashed it into a wall.
-
[Johnny has engulfed Dr. Doom in a huge fire cone that has just burned away Doom's clothes and outer skin]
Victor Von Doom : Is that the best you can do? A little heat?
Reed Richards : Time for your lesson - Chem 101. What happens when you rapidly cool hot metal?
[the Thing smashes a water hydrant and soaks Dr. Doom, solidifying his metal form and immbolizing him]
-
Johnny Storm : [to Reed, after the fight with Ben] What?
Reed Richards : You need to control yourself, and think before you act.
Johnny Storm : Yeah, but you see, that's your problem; you always think, you never act! What if we got these powers for a reason? What if it's like some higher calling?
Reed Richards : A higher calling? Like getting girls and making money?
Johnny Storm : Is there any higher? You know what Reed - this is who we are. Accept it. Or better yet, enjoy it.
-
Victor Von Doom : [after he turns Ben to normal] Take a good look Ben. This is what a man looks like who embraces his destiny.
[punches Ben and sends him crashing]
Victor Von Doom : One down - three to go.
Reed Richards : [appearing on the landing] Vic?
Victor Von Doom : Right on cue!
-
Reed Richards : Ben, I've been crunching the numbers on the machine. I think if we can rework the power settings...
Ben Grimm : [casually] Forget it, egghead. I'm good as is.
Alicia Masters : [approaches and hands Ben a large metal mug of beer] Better than good, baby.
[they clink glasses causing hers to shatter]
Alicia Masters : You just... need to work on your touch.
Ben Grimm : [hugging her and smiling widely] I like the sound of that.
-
Reed Richards : A few days in space. What's the worst that could happen?
-
Susan Storm : [about the machine that could change them back to normal] What are the risks?
Reed Richards : Even a small miscalculation could increase our symptoms exponentially - or perhaps even kill us.
Johnny Storm : Now, dying - that's bad, right?
-
Reed Richards : What worries me is that our powers are evolving.
Johnny Storm : I know - I know! I'm so close to flying, guys, I can taste it.
Susan Storm : You can't fly.
Johnny Storm : Yet.
-
Susan Storm : Johnny!
Johnny Storm : What?
Susan Storm : You gave us names? You don't think! So now you're the face of the Fantastic Four?
Ben Grimm : A face that's about to be broken!
Reed Richards : This isn't permanent, Johnny. We need to be careful until we're normal again.
Johnny Storm : What if I don't *wanna* be normal?
[indicates Ben]
Johnny Storm : *I* didn't turn into a monster!
[Ben goes to punch Johnny, but stops himself and walks away]
Susan Storm : Johnny, say you're sorry.
-
Victor Von Doom : Isn't it funny the way things turn out?
Reed Richards : Hilarious.
-
Reed Richards : [to Ben] I swear to you... I will do everything in my power until there is not a breath left in me- You're gonna be Ben again.
-
Reed Richards : [after leaning in to kiss Sue, she turns invisible] ... That's not fair.
-
Susan Storm : Remember our first date here? God, I was nervous!
Reed Richards : You know, I'd bribed the projectionist ten bucks to keep the place open late.
Susan Storm : Really?
Reed Richards : Mm.
Susan Storm : I gave him twenty!
-
Reed Richards : [Susan unexpectedly generates a force field which knocks Reed off his chair]
Susan Storm : I'm so sorry! Are you OK?
Reed Richards : Yeah.
Susan Storm : You're sure?
Reed Richards : Yeah.
Susan Storm : I - uh - you probably thought that was some form of latent hostility.
Reed Richards : What in the world would give me that idea?
-
[watching Johnny on TV at the Moto-X Games]
Susan Storm : He didn't.
Ben Grimm : Oh, yes, he did! Flame boy never listens!
Susan Storm : What did he do to his uniform?
X Games Reporter : Johnny, I've got to ask you about this outfit.
Johnny Storm : Yeah, it's sorta Armani meets astronaut.
X Games Reporter : So, what are your superhero names?
Johnny Storm : They call me the Human Torch. Ladies call me Torch.
X Games Reporter : What about the rest of the team?
[Sue's picture is shown on the huge screen]
Johnny Storm : That's the Invisible Girl.
Susan Storm : "Girl"?
X Games Reporter : What about your leader, Reed Richards? I hear you call him Mr. Fantastic.
Ben Grimm : Could've been worse.
Reed Richards : I guess.
-
[Reed opens the bathroom door as Sue get's out]
Susan Storm : [Sue goes invisible] You could knock!
Reed Richards : Sorry.
[Reed slams the door shut]
-
Reporter- City TV : Excuse me. That thing doesn't look so fantastic.
Reed Richards : Ben Grimm is a genuine American hero.
Johnny Storm : What he means is, every team needs a mascot.
[the reporters laugh]
Johnny Storm : A new day is dawning. *The day of the Fantastic Four!*
-
Reed Richards : What I see in your relationship is what I considered the best part of ours.
Susan Storm : That is?
Reed Richards : Passion... for science.
-
Ben Grimm : [about Reed's re-transformation machine] So, how long til this contraption is up and running?
Reed Richards : I don't know, it's hard to say.
Ben Grimm : How long, Reed?
Reed Richards : I don't know, uh...
Ben Grimm : [upset] You don't know?
Reed Richards : You don't want this to get worse?
Johnny Storm : Worse than *that*?
-
Reed Richards : His internal organs are completely solid.
Ben Grimm : How bad is it? You know, I used to smoke!
-
Susan Storm : [invisible] Look at me!
Reed Richards : I can't.
Susan Storm : What do you mean, you can't? Look at me!
Reed Richards : Sue, look at your hands!
-
Reed Richards : I found a broken gasket from space.
-
Reed Richards : Victor, wait. I just wanted to say I'm sorry the mission didn't go as planned.
Victor Von Doom : Didn't go as planned? It was a catastrophe. You ruined the lives of four people.
Reed Richards : With all due respect, we're both to blame. I told you to abort.
Victor Von Doom : Abort? I put my company, my name, billions of dollars on the line. I will not let you make me look like a fool!
Reed Richards : Victor, if we can understand...
Victor Von Doom : I don't wanna understand it! This isn't one of your science projects! I just wanna fix it FAST!
Ben Grimm : Is there a problem?
Victor Von Doom : No. No problem, Ben. Just pay your damn electric bill and get to work on finding a cure.
