A scene from Hulk 2003
Betty Ross

We're buried out here in the middle of nowhere. How long are you going to keep him sedated?

General Ross

For the rest of his natural life, if I have to.

Betty Ross

You said I could trust you.

General Ross

I'm your father. You can trust me to do what I think is right, not what you think you want.

Betty Ross

He is a human being.

General Ross

Well, he is also something else. Suppose he gets out, has one of his little mood swings in a populated area.

Betty Ross

Yes, I'm aware of the potential danger. I'm also aware that he saved my life.

General Ross

Yeah, from a mutant French poodle. I'm indebted to him for that. He also put three men in a hospital and Talbot's barely walking! I mean, what do you want me to do?!

Betty Ross

I want you to help him! Why is he such a threat to you?

General Ross

Because I know what he comes from! He is his father's son, every last molecule of him! He says he doesn't know his father, but he's working in the same exact goddamn field his father did! So, either he's lying or it's something worse, that he's-

Betty Ross

What? Predestined to follow on his father's footsteps?

General Ross

I was going to say "damned".

Betty Ross

Of course you were, but I'm a scientist. As a scientist, I believe we can figure this out and he can be helped.

General Ross

I know you do. Whether you know or care, I've got a lot of pride in what you've done, but this is too big for you.

Betty Ross

Look, I know the government thinks they have a weapon on their hands, otherwise he'd be dead by now. They can probe and prod all they want. In the meanwhile, just let me try to help him. Nobody knows him better than I do. What did David Banner do to him?
