(to Mary, during their row)

I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT!! I HATE TO BURST YOUR CRAZY LADY BUBBLE, BUT IT MUST NOT HAVE BEEN ALL THAT GREAT, 'CAUSE I DON'T REMEMBER YOU!

Hancock
(to Mary)

You better not hit me with that truck!

Hancock

You gotta wonder though, what kind of bastard must I have been.....that nobody was there to claim me? I mean, I'm no, I'm not the most charming guy on the world so I've been told, but nobody?

Hancock

I apologize to the people of Los Angeles. My behavior has been improper and I accept the consequences. I ask my fellow Angelinos for their patience and understanding. Life here can be difficult for me. After all, I am the only one of my kind. During my incarceration, I will be participating in alcohol and anger management treatment. You deserve better from me. I can be better. I will be better.

Large man

That woman could have been killed, she should sue you!

Crowd

Yeah!

Hancock

Okay, well you should sue McDonald's 'cause they **** you up.

Woman

And I can smell that liquor in your breath!

Hancock

'Cause I been drinkin', bitch!

Hancock

That's a good meatball, boy.

Aaron.

Hancock

Momma's callin you.

No, his name's Aaron.

Ray

Stop pretending that you do not care! You have a calling. You're a hero, Hancock. You're going to be miserable the rest of your life until you accept that. Trust me. Trust this plan, this process — you're staying here. When they call, a hero is what we're going to give them.

Hancock

How we going to do that, Ray?

Hancock

You and I...

You and I what?

Hancock

We're the same.

No. I'm stronger.

Hancock

Really?

Oh, yeah.

Hancock

Who are we?

Gods. Angels. Different cultures call us by different names. Now all of a sudden it's "superhero."

Hancock

Are there more of us?

There were. They all died. It's just the two of us.

I've lived for a very long time with Ray, and the one thing I learned — fate doesn't decide everything. People get to choose.

Hancock

And you chose to let me think I was here alone.

I didn't think you'd miss what you didn't remember.

We're becoming mortal. It's us, being close to each other. It never happened this fast before. You have to leave. The further you get from me, the better you're going to feel. You'll start getting your powers back — and be flying and breaking things and saving people before you know it. It's like I said. We were built in pairs, and when we get close to our opposites, we lose our power.

Hancock

Why?

So we can live human lives. Love. Connect. Grow old. Die.

Hancock

You better get outta my way, 'cause if you don't, your head's goin' up his a$. You sure you wanna ride this train?

Smaller Convict

Choo-choo, a–––le.

Ray
[Ray shows Hancock some comic book superheros]

What do you think when you see this?

Ray

And this?

Hancock

Ray
[Shows him another comic book with a blond-haired superhero]

And this?

Ray

I'll give you that.

Hancock
(trying to get a badly injured cop to the ambulance)

Do I have permission to touch your body?

Female Cop

Yes!

Hancock

Alright... this is not sexual. Not that you're not an attractive woman. You're actually a very attractive woman...

Female Cop

Get me the hell out of here!

I put some stuff up on YouTube. Everybody remembers Walter the great whale. He was stuck on the beach. Along comes Hancock.

Hancock
(video showing Hancock throwing a whale back into the ocean, hitting a sailboat)

I don't even remember that.

Yes, well... Greenpeace does. Walter does.

You stay away from me and my family. You are not gonna do this to me again!

Hancock

What? I don't know what you're talking about.

(while Hancock and Mary walk through a cheering crowd)

It can't work. It always ends the same way. PERSIA! GREECE! BROOKLYN!

Hancock

Brooklyn?! I've never been to Brooklyn!

(angrily)

I HAVE PUT UP WITH YOUR BULLSHIT, AND I AM DONE!!!!

Hancock

I don't know what you're talking about.

DONE!! YOU LISTENING!?!?!

Hancock
(getting angry)

I don't know what you're talking about!

I AM HAPPY, OKAY?! FINALLY, I AM HAPPY!!! YOU'RE NOT GONNA MESS WITH THAT!!!!!!

Hancock
(enraged and hateful)

LOOK AT ME!!! I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT!!!!! I HATE TO BURST YOUR LITTLE CRAZY LADY BUBBLE, BUT IT MUST NOT HAVE BEEN ALL THAT GREAT, 'CAUSE I DON'T REMEMBER YOU!!!!!!

(Threatening)

Call me crazy one more time.

Hancock
(pause) (singsong)

Cuckoo!
