"Hey, right now, for a limited time only, you can watch me stomp the stuffings out of Terrax," "Super Skrull, The Sub Mariner, and a whole mess of other famous grungy creeps." "Thanks to the Fantastic Four's own home video, my greatest adventures are now yours to enjoy when you buy my famous collector's edition tape, called It's Clobberin' Time!" ", starring yours truly." "Hey, it's only a measly 29.95." "So get off your butts, get on the phone, whip out some of that plastic, and let me hear that cash register go ding-a-ling-a-dong." "Everybody here at HTSN is thrilled that The Thing picked us to make this wonderful video available to you, but you better hurry." "Ben said he had a surprise for me, but what's he doing selling video tapes?" "[woman] I'll tell you what he's doing, he's disgracing this building and me." "Everyone in New York knows that moronic orange dump-truck lives here, Mrs. Richards." "I sympathize, Miss Forbes, but Ben's an adult." "I can't control him." "Then perhaps Dr. Richards can." "Come along, Foo Foo." "[barks] [man] Computer, lock coordinates with Hubble Telescope and access image-enhancement protocols." "[computer] Coordinates locked, protocols accessed." "Interfacing." "Stand by to record my observations." "[computer] Recording." "[electronic pulsing]" "Amazing!" "Matter runs down into that black hole like water down a drain." "But if my theory is correct, it will enter a negative zone and become anti-matter as it exits." "Then, as it recirculates, transforms itself into..." "Good grief!" "It's the Negative Zone planetary system itself!" "Its planets orbit the backwash of a black hole instead of around a sun." "One of the planets seems to be a world of inversión." "Gravity and physical laws reversed, with strange, dreadful inhabitants of unbelievable power." "Computer, scan and analyze that bizarre rod that creature is..." " What?" "!" " [barking]" "I want your undivided attention, Dr. Richards." "So I pulled your plug." "[Sue] I'm sorry, sweetheart, she insisted on seeing you." "[Reed] Very well, but disconnecting my experiment when you did was unwise and dangerous, Miss Forbes." "The forces I was monitoring are very powerful, their effects unpredictable." " [Johnny] Look out!" " [girl] What's happening?" " [Miss Forbes] Gor blimey!" " [Sue] Reed!" "[dog barks]" "[Johnny] Big time bizarre." "Now you've put a hole in my wall." "Reed, what is that?" "[hisses, growls] [speech-like growls]" "Reed, what is he?" "I don't know, but something caused a tear in the fabric of our dimensión and he came out of it." "You have nothing to fear from us." "We will not harm you." "Get away from me, you grotesque cucaracha." "[speech-like growling]" "[Miss Forbes] Yaaah!" " [Reed] Johnny!" " Flame on!" "It's a stand-off." "I don't think he's afraid of fire." "[more growling]" "[Miss Forbes] Oh, my!" "[glass breaking]" "[Johnny] That entrance to whatever." "Something else is coming!" "I've got to seal it off before we get any more strange visitors." "[stretching]" "[Forbes] This will destroy the value of my property and it's all your fault!" "Oh, darling, you did it." "That's only part of the problem." "That insectoid creature is loose somewhere in New York." "And we don't know how dangerous it is." "We've got to find it and send it back where it came from." "[car horns beeping]" "[Ben] Come on, out there, keep ordering my video." "It's a lot better than them crummy porcelain pigs they usually sell here." "[growls] [growls]... crummy porcelain pigs they usually sell here... [man] I don't know what you want, ace, but we aren't hosting a Halloween party here." "Get lost." "[whispering growl]" "What is it with you?" "Don't you understand English?" "[monster] I did not but now I do!" "I am Annihilus, lord of the Planet Tyanna." "I herewith claim this world!" "Accept my rule or die!" "[woman] Yes, shut ins, these enchanting porcelain pigs from the Age of Enlightenment are next here on the Home Town Shopping Network." "Ask for Sir Reginald Swine at only 79.95." "Then you can buy his friend, Lady Fanny Pork for $59...  [rocket slowing down]" "You can't come in here." "We're on air." " [Ben] Hey." " Ben, we need you." " Hurry." " Give me a raincheck, Stretcho." "I still got tapes to unload." "But a strange creature from another dimensión is loose in the city." "Whoa, hey, hey!" "What's with you?" "[Reed] This is serious, Ben." "This city and perhaps the world itself is in grave danger." "This is Sam Jaggers of Hard News on special assignment in New York City, where you are watching an incredible insectoid mutant calling himself Annihilus, as he constructs what appears to be his living quarters high above the fashionable midtown area." "And it looks like the law has finally decided to do something about this weird intruder." "Let's listen in." "[policeman] You, there on the building." "You're trespassing and have no building permit." "For the last time, cease and desist or we'll arrest you." "Ahhh!" "[Reed] Prepare to disengage." "Disengage!" "Do the pincers movement, Johnny." "Now!" "[Reed] The choppers are in free fall." "Hurry!" " [Johnny] Got 'em, sis." " [Reed] Great work, Sue, Johnny." "Set them down safely and join Ben and me as soon as possible." "We've got to learn exactly what we're dealing with." " We mean you no harm." " [Annihilus growls]" "Stay back, or be destroyed!" "[Reed] We can help you return to your own dimensión." "[Ben] Yeah, Bug Eyes, we want to be pals." "[Annihilus] Keep back!" "Back!" "He appears to be priming his control rod for maximum power." "On three, focus all positive energy beams on him." "One, two, now!" "Uhhh!" "[Annihilus shouts]" "[Johnny] Anti-matter shards!" "[Reed] Refocus your energy beams now!" "Hey, look at the Whosis!" "[Reed] He's dematerialized." "And there's no way to know where he'll come back into this dimensión." "We've got to do some homework, fast." "[Sue] How can we defeat someone whose power equals anything we throw at him?" "[Reed] The problem's worse than that." "Our energy derives from our dimensión." "His emanates from the anti-matter Negative Zone which exists inside a mysterious black hole in space." "Right." "It's all on account of the anti-matter no parking zone." "Thanks for clearing things up." "Where's Waldo Pizza?" "You find us no matter where we are?" "Yeah, it's me again." "Give me the pepperoni, salami, garlic combo with anchovies." "Oh, but hold the onions." "You see, I got a lady friend visiting." "[electronic pulsing]" "[Girl] I hope I'm not interrupting." "You've been working so long," "I thought you might enjoy a tea break." "Oh, thank you, Alicia." "I always love watching Ben stick out his little finger when he slurps out of the saucer." "Hey, hey, don't knock my manners, firefly." "I ain't the one who eats chicken soup with his hands." "Reed, the inter-dimensional doorway." "[monster] Free!" "Free!" "In a new dimensión to conquer!" "Ha ha!" "Annihilus, I would know his stench, even on the Dead Plains of the Jackal Worid of Arrrl!" "Hey, I like this guy." "He makes me look like Brian Austin Green." "There's no room for Annihilus and me." "I am Blastaar!" "I must rule alone!" "Raarrgghh!" "Raarrgghh!" "I don't like this." "Our problem has just more than doubled." "Unless we can find a way to counter the effects of anti-matter in this dimensión, our world is doomed." "We must follow him." "I'm giving it everything, but that blue-whiskered jerk is still ahead of us." "[Annihilus] Ahhh, sustenance." "What the...?" "Aaaah!" "Good!" "Eat heartily, Annihilus, it is your last meal." "[growls]" "[Blastaar] Come now, I must practice the language of this new dimensión, which I shall conquer and plunder." "[Annihilus] Yaaar!" "[growls]" "Let me hear you say farewell to your life!" "Arrghh!" "[Annihilus] You were right, Blastaar!" "There will be no sharing." "Earth will be mine alone!" "Amazing!" "According to my sensors," "Annihilus has absorbed enough radiation to vaporize New York." "But his system has converted it into non-radioactive anti-matter." "It's clobberin' time!" "[whistling of Ben falling]" "Yeow!" "Ooof!" "[thud of raining blows] [high-pitched humming]" "I'm sorry, Officer, I didn't see the off ramp." "[hissing and growling]" "Only one of us shall remain to rule!" "I invoke the challenge of Algestus Kax!" "A fight to the death." "Winner take all!" "I accept." "And the choice of field is mine!" "There on the highest battlement." "[Blastaar] We meet in one hour, earth time!" "That doesn't give us much time to learn how to neutralize them." "[Reed] If we don't find a way to return them to the Negative Zone, the human race could become slaves to either Blastaar or Annihilus." "It's like the door into the Negatory Zone wasn't never there." "[Reed] That's because the precise moment in which a confluence of diverse energy-producing events caused a tear in our dimensional fabric has passed." "But Blastaar and Annihilus will meet in combat in less than 40 minutes." "And we don't have the resources to defeat them." "Is it hopeless?" "No, Sue." "Not if we find the key to re-open that inter-dimensional doorway." "I've reproduced the experiment I was working on when the tear in the dimensional fabric appeared." "But so far it hasn't produced results." "It's pizza guy!" "Okay, who belongs to the pepperoni, salami, garlic combo?" "Is pizza the surprise you promised me, Ben?" "No way." "Just wait." "My surprise is a doozy." "Ah, yo, pizza guy." "We get your combo." " Reed, a combo!" " Of course!" "It was a combination of energy-related events that ripped a hole in this dimensión in the first place." "That was brilliant, sweetheart!" "I thought so too." "I learned from the best." "I..." "I don't get it." "We're going to re-create the exact combination of events which tore the fabric of this dimensión, and pray it's the key to the Negative Zone." "Ben, you must get the Home Town Shopping Network to re-run your appearance at once." "Say what?" "Yo, friends, that's right, it's me, your blue-eyed, blushing', ever-lovin' Thing." "Right now, for a limited time only..." "While I was tapping into the Telescope's coverage of that black hole in space," "Ben was on the Home Town Shopping Network which was receiving thousands of calls by way of a communications satellite." "I believe a spontaneous interface took place which was then interrupted." "Now, Miss Forbes, please." "This is the most ridiculous exercise in stupidity I..." "Just pull the cockamamie plug!" "Oh, yes, yes, of course, of course!" "And be sure Foo Foo barks." "His sound is part of the energy equation." "Oh, speak, Foo Foo, speak." "Bark, you shrimp." " [Alicia] It's happening!" " [Ben] Way to go!" "[Miss Forbes] Good grief!" "It worked!" "Now to reprogram the Fantasticar for inter-dimensional travel." "And then to the top of The Worid Trade Center." "Blastaar and Annihilus should be facing off for the final conflict in exactly 12 minutes." "Can't you wait to observe protocol?" "I have no patience for ritual." "Die, usurper!" "There isn't a moment to spare." "The buildings are shaking down to their foundations." "Your new doohickey sure don't look like much." "What if it don't work?" "[Reed] Then we could be stuck in the Negative Zone forever." "At least the world would be free of Blastaar and Annihilus." "Ready, Johnny, Ben, Sue?" " [Johnny] All set." " [Sue] Yes." "[Ben] One for the money, two for the show..." " [Reed] Now!" " [Johnny] Flame on!" "Geronimo!" "[electric jangling]" "Hurry, Ben, Johnny." "I can't hold them much longer." "Uh!" "Haagh!" "[Ben] Gotcha!" "[Reed] Now drive us through the spaceItime barrier into the Negative Zone." "[whoosh]" "[Blastaar] Release me!" "I do not wish to return now!" "When I jettison cargo, hold on tight and whatever you do, don't open your eyes." "Ready?" "Jettisoning!" "You shall pay for this indignity!" "[Blastaar] All who meddle with the will of Blastaar die!" "They're coming right at us!" "[Reed] I said close your eyes!" "[buzzing electricity]" "[whoosh, high-pitched whine]" "Oh, Ben, you're back safely." "The inter-dimensional window which opened onto the Negative Zone has been sealed." "Which leaves only one question still unanswered." "What was Ben doing on the Home Town Shopping Network?" "I needed a little bread for Alicia's surprise." "Here, kid." "You can even ride it to the supermarket." "Oh, Ben!" "¶ There's Galactus looking hungry" "¶ And ol' Doctor Doom is near" "¶ Here come the Skrulls invading" "¶ Do you run and hide in fear?" "¶ No way, no way, no way" "¶ Just call the Four" "¶ Fantastic Four" "¶ That's all, no more Now, that's grammatical" "¶ Reed Richards is elastic" "¶ Sue can fade from sight" "¶ Johnny is the Human Torch" "¶ The Thing just loves to fight" "¶ Call for the Four" "¶ Fantastic Four"
