Dr. David Banner There's simply no way to shield against every weaponized agent. Instead, I can make super immune systems by strengthening the human cellular response.

A line from Dr. David Banner"STOP" WHAT!?! "STOP" WHAT!?!? Think about all those men out there, in their uniforms! Barking and swallowing orders! Inflicting their petty rule over the entire globe! Think of all the harm they've done! To you! To me! To humanity! And know this, that we can make them, and their flags, and their anthems, and their governments disappear! In a flash! You and me!

My Bruce.
Dr. David Banner Your name is not Krenzler. It's Banner. Your name. It's Banner. Bruce Banner. Bruce.
Dr. David Banner You must know. You may not want to believe it, but I can see it... in your eyes. So much like your mother's. Of course, you're my flesh and blood. But then, you're something else too, aren't you? My physical son, but the child of my mind, too.
Dr. David Banner Don't be sorry. My son is... unique. That's why you can't relate to him. And because he is unique, the world will not tolerate his existence. Will they? But you—you try, don't you? Yes. And a very beautiful woman like you, your attentions... can't be completely unwanted. Can they? No. Not with eyes like yours, watching expectantly, lovingly. But I'm afraid we're both too late to help him. There's nothing I can do for him... or for you. Besides, he's made it clear he wants nothing to do with me. His choice. Now, if you'll excuse me, Miss Ross, I have some work to do. And don't worry about the dogs. You'll be fine. Just don't look 'em in the eyes. Goodbye.
Dr. David Banner Fear? Perhaps, Miss Ross. And loneliness, too. Yes... I feel them both. But I have lived... completely once. I was so much in love, and she so much wanted a baby. My baby. I could tell from the moment she conceived that it wasn't a son I had given her but something else. A monster, maybe. I should have put a stop to it right then, but I was curious and that was my downfall. And as I watched this tiny life unfold, I began to imagine the horror of it and my curiosity was replaced with compassion. But they took away my chance to cure him. Your father threw me out. I remember that day so well, every moment, every sensation, walking into the house, the feeling of the handle of the knife in my hand. I knew I was doing a father's work, fulfilling a father's mercy. But then, she surprised me. It was as if she and the knife merged. You cannot imagine the unbearable finality of it. And in that one moment, I took everything that was dear to me and transformed it into nothing more than a memory.
Dr. David Banner Oh, that's your answer. And indeed you shall die. And be reborn a hero! Of the kind that walked Earth long before the pale religions of civilization infected humanity's soul!
Dr. David Banner Stop your bawling, you weak, little speck of human trash.
Scenes with Dr. David Banner
2 scenes David Banner My dear Miss Ross. Welcome back.
There are two guards right outside.
David Banner You don't have to worry. I'm not angry with you. Not anymore.
What do you want?
David Banner It's over for me now. I know that. And soon, it'll be over for Bruce. That's why I've come to you. To ask you if you could persuade your father, as a man, as a father himself, that if I turn myself in now, peacefully and before he puts me away forever, that he would let me see my son for one last time. Could you do that for me?
It's out of my father's hands now.
David Banner I understand. He's a puppet now. I don't blame him.
You shouldn't. You should blame yourself for what you've done to your son.
David Banner And what have I done to my son, Miss Ross? Nothing. I tried to improve on the limits in myself. Myself, not him! Can you understand? To improve on nature, my nature, knowledge of oneself! It's the only path to the truth, that give men the power to go beyond God's boundaries!
You know what's beyond your boundaries? Other people. All you've given Bruce is fear. Fear of life.
I should have killed you.
David Banner Yeah? I should have killed you.
I wish you had. I saw her last night. Saw her face. Brown hair, brown eyes. She smiled at me. She reached down and kissed my cheek. I can almost remember a smell. It was like desert flowers.
David Banner Her favorite perfume.
It was my mother, and I don't even know her name.
David Banner It's alright, son. Go ahead and cry. Go ahead and cry. Cry. Crying will do you good.
Don't touch me! Maybe, once, you're my father. But, you're not now and you never will be.
David Banner Oh, is that so? Well, I've got news for you. I didn't come here to see you. I came here to see my son. My real son. The one inside of you. You're nothing but a superficial shell, a husk of flimsy consciousness ready to be torn off at a moment's notice.
You can think what you like! I don't care, just go!
David Banner No, son. Listen to me. I found a cure... for me. My cells can transform, too. Absorb enormous amounts of energy. But, unlike you, they're unstable. Son, I need your strength. I gave you life, now you must give it back to me! Only a million times more radiant, more powerful!
Stop!
David Banner "STOP" WHAT?! "STOP" WHAT?!? Think about all those men out there, in their uniforms! Barking and swallowing orders! Inflicting their petty rule over the entire globe! Think of all the harm they've done! To you! To me! To humanity! And know this, that we can make them, and their flags, and their anthems, and their governments disappear! In a flash! You and me!
I'd rather DIE!
David Banner Oh, that's your answer. And indeed you shall die. And be reborn a hero! Of the kind that walked the Earth long before the pale religions of civilization infected humanity's soul!
'''GO!!!'''
David Banner Stop your bawling, you weak little speck of human trash. [David stands up and grabs the cable] I'll go! You just watch me go!
Hit it!
