Susan Storm
Reed, I know you. I'm glad you had fun.
Reed Richards Thank you.
Susan Storm
Besides, it was nothing compared to what I did at my bachelorette party. Talk about wild.
General Hager No, you don't understand. So let me make it clear for you and your pack of freaks here. I'm the quarterback. You're on my team, got it? But I guess you never played football in high school, did you, Richards?
Reed Richards No, you're right, I didn't. I stayed inside and studied, like a good little nerd. And fifteen years later, I'm one of the greatest minds of the 21st century, I'm engaged to the hottest girl on the planet, and the big jock who played quarterback in high school? Well, he's standing right in front of me asking me for my help. And I say he's not gonna get a damn thing, unless he does exactly what I tell him, and starts treating my friends and me, with some respect.
General Hager [Pause]
Give him what he wants.
Susan Storm
[The general storms off.]
I am so hot for you right now.
Johnny Storm Me too. All right, Reed!
Reed Richards [Susan Storm has suddenly switched powers with her brother, and is floating outside a window, shouting at Reed. Reed sees her and responds in alarm.]
Sue! You're on fire!
Susan Storm
[irate]
Ya think?!
Susan Storm
Why are you destroying our planet?
Silver Surfer
I have no choice.
Susan Storm
There’s always a choice.
The Silver Surfer
Not always.
The Silver Surfer
[restrained in the lab]
I know you are there.
Susan Storm
[appears]
What's your name?
The Silver Surfer
[no answer]
Susan Storm
Come on. You must have a name. I'm Susan.
The Silver Surfer
[still does not answer]
Susan Storm
You said you weren't the one trying to destroy our world. Then who is?
The Silver Surfer
The One I serve.
Susan Storm
Who do you serve?
The Silver Surfer
[does not answer]
Susan Storm
Look, I'm trying to help you. But in order to do that, you have to tell me the truth. Please.
The Silver Surfer
[the image of a ruined world appears on his stomach]
It is known by many names. My people called it... Galactus, the devourer of worlds. It must feed on energy to survive, both thermal and organic.
Susan Storm
How could you willingly serve this thing?
The Silver Surfer
Because I must.
Susan Storm
Doesn't it bother you? All the worlds and innocent people you've helped destroy?
The Silver Surfer
My service spares my world, and the one I love.
Susan Storm
Did you know I could create a force field inside someone's body and expand it until they explode?
Victor Von Doom Give it your best shot.
Johnny Storm [Reed is using his elastic power to stretch his thumbs across his PDA very quickly]
Ya'know, I've always been both impressed and disgusted at that.
Reed Richards Yeah, Sue says I'm addicted to it.
Johnny Storm [To himself]
I wonder why she'd say that.
Johnny Storm I've got to tell you though Ben, I'm starting to feel like a complete screw up.
Ben Grimm Hey, you're not a complete screw-up.
Johnny Storm Thank you.
Ben Grimm Look kid. Its out of our hands, its up to the eggheads now.
Johnny Storm You think Reed's right? About the whole end of the world thing?
Ben Grimm He's never wrong about this kind of thing before.
Johnny Storm [after a long silence]
Well, I haven't exactly been a deep kind of guy.
Ben Grimm Really.
Johnny Storm But if Reed's right and this is it... how do you wanna spend your last few minutes?
Ben Grimm Part of me would like to go out fighting. [pauses] But the truth is, I'd like to spend my last few minutes holding Alicia.
Johnny Storm [absentmindedly]
That sounds pretty good. [notices Ben's jealous stare] Not holding Alicia thing, that's, you know, your girlfriend, not mine, want nothing to do with her. [sees Ben's look getting worse] Not to say she's not attractive, she's very attractive, I mean, you know, so attractive. Even with the... [Johnny waves one of his hands infront of his face] can't even think of a guy that wouldn't want to–
Johnny Storm [Ben pounds the table out of anger.]
What I meant, is that it's just nice to have somebody.
Ben Grimm Well, you got me pal.
Johnny So, you and Alicia are doing well.
Ben Heh-heh, yeah.
Johnny Yeah. So, how do you guys, uh...
Ben [Johnny makes movements with arms, and snaps fingers.]
That's none of your business!
Johnny Okay, okay! Let's just hope you don't wake up one morning to find out she was killed in a rock slide!
Ben I'll show you a rock slide!
General Hager [Reed, Sue, Johnny, Ben, Hager, and the military are gathered in the building.]
What the hell was that?
Reed We'll make adjustments. Next time, we'll be ready.
General Hager Next time? There's no next time. You can't handle this alone. That's why I'm bringing in some help.
Reed General, if you bring in more soldiers and weaponry, you're gonna put innocent people in danger.
Victor No more than you already have.
Reed [Johnny stands up in surprise. As Sue looks shocked, Ben starts to get angry. They and Reed see Victor standing in front of them.]
Victor?
Victor What's the matter? Afraid of ghosts?
Ben [Enraged, Ben runs at Victor. Hager moves out of the way. Ben grabs Victor by the throat and slams him against a concrete wall. A soldier aims a gun at Ben and Victor.]
Since you're a ghost, you won't mind if I break your little neck.
General Hager Let him go.
Johnny [Points at Ben and Victor]
Don't you know who that is?
General Hager He's Victor von Doom. He's here under my orders.
Reed [As Ben holds Victor by his throat, Hager turns to Reed. Reed turns to Ben and Victor.]
Ben, let him go.
Reed [Ben lets go of Victor, who falls to his knees and coughs repeatedly.]
How is this possible? How are you still alive?
Victor [Stands up]
No thanks to you four, that's for certain. [Wipes the dust off his jacket sleeve]
General Hager Von Doom's made contact with the alien. He's got valuable information.
Victor Information that might just help save the planet. Now let's be clear about this, shall we? I hate you. All of you. But the world's at stake, and we need to work together to survive.
Reed General, we know firsthand you trust Victor and you're gonna regret it.
General Hager So far, the only one I regretted trusting here is you, Richards.
Ben Reed, don't agree to this.
Reed Let's see what he's got.
