"Bring life to my creation." "Strike!" "Strike!" "Live!" "Live, I say!" "No, Helmut, you've gone mad!" "Silence, woman!" "Nothing must stand in the way of science!" "Not even our love!" "[hiss of steam] [ominous organ music]" "That yutz sounds just like Stretcho." "It lives!" "[growls] Rosebud!" " Cool!" " This sucks!" "[heavy rock]" "No, that sucks, Beavis." "No, that sucks!" "[gasps]" "Helmut, help!" "Back, back, I say!" "[growls] Rosebud!" "Good!" " Give me that!" " Get lost, you walking barbecue pit!" "Yeow!" "Hey, whoa, whoa!" "No fair, flaming up." "Hey, what are you doing, matcho?" "I wanna watch my flick!" " And I wanna see my program!" " Get lost!" " No, no!" " Gimme that!" "Let go!" "Ah, why did I eat those last four pizzas?" "Man, that's smooth." "[burps]" " Now what's with the tube?" " Nothing." "One of the Big Brain's experiments must've fried the circuits again." "I'm tired of him messing up our viewing pleasure." "Yeah, well, I'm with you, little buddy." "[electronic reverberations]" "Hey, Volto, you killed the TV again." "Right in the middle of our favorite program." "I'm using a high-frequency bio-sweep to locate alien life in the galaxy." "I'm afraid that's what caused your power outage." "Er, would you run that by me again, in English?" "I was sure I'd detected life on planet clusters, here, here and here." "But then, one after the other, they seemed to die, as if their life-force had been drained, and, of course, by then..." "Ben, look!" "[electronic pulse]" "[Ben] It's the watchamacallit!" "The streaking phenomenon that moves faster than light." "It's back!" "Hey, don't count on me chasing after it again." "Last time we tried that, them cosmic rays turned God's gift to woman here into an ever lovin', blue-eyed thing." "Yeah, right." "I'm out too." "No need to worry." "Pursuing it now would serve no purpose." "It's circling the far periphery of our universe and..." "Reed, Ben, Johnny, we've got a problem." "No problem, sweetheart." "We'll have TV reception restored in a moment." "It's not the TV, darling." "It's the management and tenants of this building." "They want to kick us out." "I believe you to be a cultured, rational person." "Your husband, on the other hand, seems determined to use his experiments to turn this building into a smoking, radioactive ruin." "And your brother..." "Stop playing with fire when I'm speaking to you." " [Sue] Johnny!" " Which brings me to your star boarder." "Benjamin J. Grimm." "No, no, don't you sit in my Queen Anne chair." "Why not?" "She ain't using it." "Well, I have nothing more to say." "A process server will present you with formal eviction papers within the hour." "Naturally, you may appeal, but I am confident no judge will..." "Reed, everybody, look!" "The sky's on fire!" "Ha, ha, ha!" "Warned ya!" "Did I warn ya?" "Call a cop, somebody, call anybody!" "Incredible!" "We've got to do something before the city is incinerated." "Don't think I'll delay the eviction process." "Judging from the color of the flame, I'd estimate a temperature of more than 600 degrees Fahrenheit." " Hot, right?" " Extremely." "[Ben] Then why didn't you say that?" "[Ben] This ain't the sky no more." "It's a flying barbecue." " Hang on to your socks!" " Secure for individual reconnaissance." " Roger." " All secured." "Ditto." "Then prepare to disengage." "[roar of rockets]" "Sampling fire for analysis." "Fire's no big deal for me!" "I'm gonna take it on face to face!" "[woman's voice] Your auto-pilot is now employed." "Ha, ha!" "Thanks, babe." "Flame on!" "Yeehah!" "[whooshing]" "Knock it off, will ya, you half-baked hotshot." " This ain't no game." " Ben, look out!" "No, you look out!" "[Ben] Whoa, mama!" "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!" " Ben!" " Oh, no!" "Ben!" "What the..." "Hey, hoo hoo!" "What was that?" "That meteor had no effect on Ben." "Reed, I'm going to try it." "Sue, no!" "If the flames are a multi-form phenomenon," "Ben could've passed through a cold phase." "But you could be flying into temperatures hotter than molten lava." "[Ben] I hope not." "Well done, Suzy!" "Reed, there's no heat in the flames." "Thank heaven." "That's because they're not flames at all." "They're an unknown form of highly evolved holograms." "But who's got energy powerful enough to generate a sky full of holograms?" " [thunderclap]" " Uh-oh." "Rain cloud!" "[rocket whoosh]" "Aghh!" "Reed, flame out!" "Johnny!" "Here!" "Yah!" "Ooof!" "Just don't get fresh or I'll make you walk home." "What?" "!" " [meteors whoosh] - [Ben] The fire's gone bye-bye." "More puzzling still, our intruder alert indicates that an immaterial presence has entered our laboratory at the Baxter Building." "How did it get in without setting off our security protocols?" "Merge positions." "Whatever it is, our sensors show it to be enormous, but weightless." "Unify!" "Our unknown caller has no mass or molecular composition." "[Ben] Yeah, whoever busted in is gonna get a busted schnoz." "[electronic pulsing] [man] You are no longer alone." "I have come on a missión of gravest consequence." "Should I punch him out, Stretcho?" " No, wait." " Hear me." "You are about to die." "That sinks it!" "You're high, I'm low." "Go for it!" " Deck the sucker!" " [Ben] It's clobberin' time!" "[Reed] No, let him speak." "You are wise, Reed Richards, for I am The Watcher, member of an ancient race far older than man." "Look." "From our far planet, my people watched countless worlds evolve over eons of what you call time." "Some for good, others for evil." "Some so debased by war, greed and hatred that they descended into savagery." "But though our power is great, we are pledged only to watch." "Never to interfere." "Hey, you talk about weird." "Sheesh!" "But now mankind faces the greatest danger it has ever known." "The danger of total extinction." "[Ben] Look out!" "Hey, he's got a gizmo!" "[Johnny] Wax him, Reed!" "And though I may not act directly in your behalf," "I have come to warn you." "For I cannot let this world be obliterated." "I caused the flame and meteors to appear in your sky with my Matter Mobilizer." "Incredible!" "It utilizes magnetic energy to generate molecular bonding." "I'm all choked up." "Hey, would you stop lecturing and get us down?" "Huh?" "[electronic buzz]" "The flaming sky you created with your Matter Mobilizer terrified people." "That was not my intention." "My sole purpose was simply to conceal the Earth from him." "Him?" "Him who?" "Galactus, Devourer of Worids!" "Look!" "With his awesome power, Galactus roams the cosmos seeking planets which contain an abundance of life." "For without such nourishment, he would perish." "Once he has absorbed the planet's life's energy into his own body, the planet is left barren and lifeless." "Then, when the hunger is again upon him, his endless voyage begins anew." "[sucking]" "Your only hope is that his herald, the one who searches the cosmos for planets such as this, does not see your Earth." "He is known as the Silver Surfer." "A tortured soul forced to serve his merciless master throughout eternity." "[Johnny] A high-flying surfer dude." "Truly far out." "[rock'n'roll-style music]" "I must blind him to the profusión of life on your planet before it's too late." "[car horn] [roar of meteor storm]" "[Watcher] The screen is in place." "Let us pray it will discourage the Surfer from looking too closely." "[police sirens] [man] First fire, now boulders?" "[rock'n'roll-style music]" "[whoosh of meteors]" "[Silver Surfer] Whoa!" "[climactic whoosh]" "Ah, such life, such energy." " Galactus shall feast as never before." " [Reed] The galaxy scanner!" "The Silver Surfer is directly overhead." "[Watcher] Quickly!" "He must be intercepted before he signals his master or all will be lost." "Hurry, you still have time." "Disengage." "[Ben] Look out, Silverfish!" "Whoa!" "Whoa!" "Yeeow!" "Suzy, catch me!" "[Watcher] We are too late." " [high-pitched whirring] - [Silver Surfer] Hyperion!" "[Watcher] The Hyper Space Signal." "It will inform Galactus of his discovery." "Nobody likes a squealer!" " Yaaah!" " Ugghh!" "No more Mr. Nice Guy." "He will return." "No fall can injure the Silver Surfer." "Your true concern is Galactus." " [roar of engines] - [woman] Look up in the sky!" "I heard of flying saucers, but that's ridiculous." "[engine roars]" "Shouldn't someone call the cops or something?" "[eerie electronic chime, hissing]" "[Reed] That aura." "What did you just do?" "I have screened Galactus and his sphere from the view of the terrified populace." "Wait a second!" "I could've sworn there was a giant silver ball." "[electronic pulses]" "[reverberating footfalls]" "My journey has ended." "At last, I have found what I seek." "For the great hunger is upon me!" "Such an abundance of elemental life energy." "I shall feast as never before." "[whirring]" " [metallic clunk]" " Wow, what's he doing?" "Assembling his Elemental Converter." "The device with which he will drain your planet of its very life." "Not today, he ain't." "Hey!" "I want to know more about our adversary before we commit to action." "Galactus must've seen us." "Why didn't he say anything?" "Do you greet the cockroaches on your kitchen floor?" "We do not have roaches." "To Galactus, you are lesser beings." "As low on the evolutionary scale and as meaningless as insects." "Insects!" "Galacticus, Shmalacticus!" "He ain't gettin' rid of Mama Grimm's baby boy so easy." "Piece of cake." "We can't wait any longer." "Ben was right." "If we're to have any chance of saving the Earth, we must take action now." "[screeching]" "Wait!" "There may be another way." "I shall communicate with him." "But you said you were forbidden to act." "Contrary to the fond belief of many, talk is not action." "Hear me, Galactus!" "Who are you who callously speaks my name?" "I am Uatu, The Watcher." "I know what you are about to do, and I speak for Planet Earth." "This lush world needs no spokesman." "It must appease my gnawing hunger." "Wait, open your mind, that you may share my thoughts." "[eerie electronic pulse] [electric crackling]" "[Reed] They're exchanging the contents of their minds." "Stop right where you are, Benjamin J. Grimm." " [bark]" " There, Mr. Sully." "Ah, yes, Benjamin J. Grimm, you are hereby served with official notice of eviction, and, er... huh?" "[grunts]" "Delicious!" "Hey, didn't need no mayo nor nothing." "[electronic pulsing]" "So you see, there are billions of people here on Earth." "Plus teeming animal life." "Hmmm, true, Watcher." "That is why it shall be such a satisfying feast." "But these lives have intelligence, souls meaning." "I have no wish to harm any species." "Oh, darling, Earth will be safe." "Yet if my hunger is not appeased, I die." "And I do not wish to die." "It is my destiny to be Galactus." "I must do what I was born to do." "[thunderclap]" "And the same thing goes for me, oversized cornball." "One for the money, two for the show, you're gonna get it, you big, dumb schmo." "[Sue] Get away from him, Ben." "[Johnny] Look out!" "Who do you think you're messing with, you king-sized clown?" "[hiss]" "Hold your breath!" "As near as I can figure, he's using some sort of cosmic insecticide." "Insecticide!" "Do you mean to tell me, as far as that fender-head is concerned," "I ain't nothing but a cockroach?" "Oh, gee..." "My herald, where is he?" "I wish to reward him for finding this succulent world." "Ah, your herald, like, the Silver Surfer, right?" "What have you done with him?" "We don't know where he is." "Last thing we know, he fell off the roof in a fight..." "A fight?" "You dared resist my sentinel of the spaceways!" "[metallic creaking] [resounding clunk]" "Well, what does it matter?" "My moment is at hand." "It is time for me to dine."
