Mary Embrey quotes from Hancock (2008)

Mary Embrey

I think you're wasting your time with this guy.

Mary Embrey

He's not going to go.
On the idea of Hancock letting himself go to jail.

Mary Embrey

Call me crazy — one more time...
After Hancock calls her crazy during an argument.

Mary Embrey

Okay! I was flying! And — I'm very strong — as well. It's just the way we are.
After Ray sees her landing at their back door.

Mary Embrey

This is very hard to explain.

Mary Embrey

Whatever we are we we're built in twos, okay? We're drawn to each other — no matter how far I run, he's always there — he finds me! It's physics!

Mary Embrey

GET YOUR ASS BACK HERE!!!

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

Yeah!

Hancock

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

And I can smell that liquor in your breath!

Hancock

'Cause I been drinkin', bitch!

Ray

We at Embrey Publicity would like to offer you the AllHeart symbol. Now you would be among a very select group of corporate giants to bear this logo on your product. And what this would say to the public is that your company, Pharmatopsis, had made a radical contribution to helping our world. And here is all you'd have to do to qualify: Your new TB drug, micadin, we would like you to give that product away, for free.

Did you say free?

Ray

I did — only to those who really need it. Only to those who without it would otherwise die.

Alright. As a concept "free" is kind of up there with "lethal side effects—"

"Mandatory product recall."

"Get indicted, going to jail —"

"Get out, work at IHOP the rest of your career—"

Ray

Understandable reactions — a radical concept — but it is the brand that represents a fairer and better world. The brand that everyone is talking about. ... Anyway — we can save the world. Someone's just got to go first. What do you say?

Are you a crackpot?

Hancock

That's a good meatball, boy.

Mary

Aaron.

Hancock

Momma's callin you.

Mary

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...

Mary

You and I what?

Hancock

We're the same.

Mary

No. I'm stronger.

Hancock

Really?

Mary

Oh, yeah.

Hancock

Who are we?

Mary

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

Hancock

Are there more of us?

Mary

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

Mary

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.

Mary

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

Mary

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?

Mary

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

Mary

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.

Mary

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

Hancock

Brooklyn?! I've never been to Brooklyn!

Mary

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

Hancock

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

Mary

DONE!! YOU LISTENING!?!?!

Hancock

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

Mary

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

Hancock

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!!!!!!

Mary

Call me crazy one more time.

Hancock

Cuckoo!
