Hulk (film)

"[from teaser trailer] Even now, I can feel it. Buried somewhere deep inside. Watching me. Waiting. But you know what scares me the most? When I can't fight it anymore, when it takes over, when I totally lose control... I like it."

"[from commercial] I don't know who I am. I don't know what I'm...becoming. But I know one thing for sure, you wouldn't like me when I'm angry."

"[deleted scene] Death is a kind of forgetting. You see, each time a human cell replicates, it loses a little more DNA from the end of its chromosomes. Now, eventually what happens is, it forgets so much that it forgets its function, its ability to cope with trauma, to continue to reproduce. Okay? Whereas life; life has the ability to both retrieve and to act on memory. What makes the nanomeds so extraordinary and continuing our funding worthy, of course is the fact they are life... unbound. It's beautiful, but it's untenable. Part of life is death, is forgetting and unchecked, it's mutatious, it's monstrous. See, the nanomeds remember their instructions too well. Basically, to stay in balance and alive, we must forget as much as we remember."

"I had the most vivid dream. It was like being born, coming up for air, light hitting my face, screaming, my heartbeat was like, BOOM...BOOM...BOOM."

"Puny human."

"You think you can live with it? Take it! TAKE IT ALL!!!!!"

"I hate them."

"Don't. It's not your fault, really. It's just a byproduct of my inexplicable obsession with emotionally distant men. It'll get over us."

"[Deleted scene] The nanomeds, which are essentially little molecular machines remain inert in the body until we activate them with a burst of gamma radiation. Then, they instantly go to work repairing tissues by breaking down damaged cells and by forcing healthy cells to replicate. The problem we've been having involves managing the energy flux created by such rapid cellular activity and the buildup of waste products from the dismantled cells, which have so far let to catastrophic results. In our next round of experiments, we'll be damaging the cells with drastically higher doses of gamma radiation, resulting in more uniform trauma. We hope in this way to better contain their destructive potential. If we do, if we succeed, we may someday realize our goal of near instantaneous bodily repair."

"There's simply no way to shield against every weaponized agent. Instead, I can make super immune systems by strengthening the human cellular response."

"[repeated lines] My Bruce."

"Your name is not Krenzler. It's Banner. Your name. It's Banner. Bruce Banner. Bruce."

"You must know. You may not want to believe it, but I can see it...in your eyes. So much like your mother's. Of course, you're my flesh and blood. But then, you're something else too, aren't you? My physical son, but the child of my mind, too."

"Don't be sorry. My son is...unique. That's why you can't relate to him. And because he is unique, the world will not tolerate his existence. Will they? But you—you try, don't you? Yes. And a very beautiful woman like you, your attentions...can't be completely unwanted. Can they? No. Not with eyes like yours, watching expectantly, lovingly. But I'm afraid we're both too late to help him. There's nothing I can do for him...or for you. Besides, he's made it clear he wants nothing to do with me. His choice. Now, if you'll excuse me, Miss Ross, I have some work to do. And don't worry about the dogs. You'll be fine. Just don't look 'em in the eyes. Goodbye."

"Fear? Perhaps, Miss Ross. And loneliness, too. Yes...I feel them both. But I have lived...completely once. I was so much in love, and she so much wanted a baby. My baby. I could tell from the moment she conceived that it wasn't a son I had given her but something else. A monster, maybe. I should have put a stop to it right then, but I was curious and that was my downfall. And as I watched this tiny life unfold, I began to imagine the horror of it and my curiosity was replaced with compassion. But they took away my chance to cure him. Your father threw me out. I remember that day so well, every moment, every sensation, walking into the house, the feeling of the handle of the knife in my hand. I knew I was doing a father's work, fulfilling a father's mercy. But then, she surprised me. It was as if she and the knife merged. You cannot imagine the unbearable finality of it. And in that one moment, I took everything that was dear to me and transformed it into nothing more than a memory."

""STOP" WHAT!?! "STOP" WHAT!?!? Think about all those men out there, in their uniforms! Barking and swallowing orders! Inflicting their petty rule over the entire globe! Think of all the harm they've done! To you! To me! To humanity! And know this, that we can make them, and their flags, and their anthems, and their governments disappear! In a flash! You and me!"

"Oh, that's your answer. And indeed you shall die. And be reborn a hero! Of the kind that walked Earth long before the pale religions of civilization infected humanity's soul!"

"Stop your bawling, you weak, little speck of human trash."

"He is his father's son, every last molecule of him! He says he doesn't know his father, but he's working in the same exact goddamn field his father did!"

"All right, I'll cut to the chase. I've been hearing interesting things about what you guys are doing here. Your little molecular machines have some incredible implications. How would you like to come work for Atheon? Get paid ten times as much as you earn now and own a piece of the patents. You just have to say the word."

"You know, let me give you a little heads-up. There is a hairsbreadth between friendly offer and hostile takeover. I've done my homework. The work you're doing here is dynamite. Think: GIs embedded with technology that makes them instantly repairable on the battlefield in our sole possession. That's a hell of a business."

"You know, someday I'm gonna write a book and I'm gonna call it "When Stupid Ideals Happen To Smart, Penniless Scientists"."

"You know, for me this is a win-win situation. You turn green, and all these guys come in and kill you and I perform the autopsy. You don't, and I mop the floor with you, and maybe by accident go too far and break your neck. Bad science, maybe, but personally gratifying."

"You know, consciously, you may control it, but subconsciously, I bet that's another story."

"Lockdown. [Analyst: Didn't you hear what the general said?] (roaring with fury) I SAID LOCKDOWN!!!"

"Unleash the hero within."

"Unleash the fury!"

"Rage. Power. Freedom."

"Eric Bana - Dr. Bruce Banner / Hulk"

"Jennifer Connelly - Betty Ross"

"Sam Elliott - Gen. Thunderbolt Ross"

"Nick Nolte - David Banner"

"Josh Lucas - Colonel Talbot"

"Well, my own feeling is that in the first two (Hulk films), they made him too powerful. I never conceived of him that way, and I didn't think it was necessary for him to be that big. I thought he could’ve been seven and a half feet tall. That's quite enough."
