The Incredible Hulk
1978
David Banner: Have you ever stopped to consider that most of the men may not want to work with someone they think is an arsonist? Eric Wilson: Seems to me a few dirty looks are preferable to spending time with a state trooper.
Jack McGee: Human interest stories do not make front page.
David Banner: Damn! Car, you're making me angry, now if you get me angry, you know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna turn you into a tin sandwich!
Captain Welsh: Do you live near here, sir? Jack McGee: No, no, no. I'm just a visitor like yourself, only you brought more friends, some of whom wear strange uniforms. What's going on? Captain Welsh: Training exercise. Jack McGee: Oh really? Captain Welsh: Yes. Jack McGee: I thought those usually took place on a military reservation. Captain Welsh: Usually. Not always, as you see. Jack McGee: (gesturing towards a soldier wearing a Prometheus uniform) What kind of uniform is that? Captain Welsh: Civilian. Jack McGee: On a military exercise? Captain Welsh: Yes.
Thomas Logan: You sure you're not a reporter? David Banner: Honest. Thomas Logan: Say "Honest, Indian," and I'll deck you.
David Banner: Mr McGee, don't make me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.
(opening sequence to the episode: "A Death in the Family") Narrator: Dr David Banner, Physician/Scientist, searching for a way to tap into the hidden strengths that all humans have. Then an accidental overdose of gamma radiation interacts with his unique body chemistry. And now, when David Banner grows angry or outraged, a startling metamorphasis occurs. (while trying to change a tire during a thunderstorm, David changes into the Hulk) The creature is driven by rage and pursued by an investigative reporter. David Banner: Mr McGee, don't make me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry. (McGee witnesses an explosion from a building) Narrator: An accidental explosion took the life of a fellow scientist and supposedly David Banner as well. The reporter thinks the creature was responsible. Jack McGee: (voice-over) I gave a description to all the law enforcement agencies. They got a warrant for murder out of it. Narrator: A murder which David Banner can never prove he or the creature didn't commit. So he must let the world go on thinking that he too is dead, until he can find a way to control the raging spirit that dwells within him.
Harold Milburn: I came to confess. Pamela Morris: Confess to what, Mr Milburn? Harold Milburn: I... I... am the Hulk.
Emerson Fletcher: Have you ever heard of noise pollution? I think it's worse than my smoking. Jack McGee: Fletcher, nothing is worse than your smoking, except maybe my spending $500 to quit smoking!
Jake White: I saw a doctor just last week. David Banner: Really? Jake White: He said I'm strong as a bull. David Banner: Bull.
(Jack McGee is shown Emerson Fletcher's voucher) Jack McGee: He's smart. He left the destination blank. Mark Roberts: Signing my name was not smart.
(Jack McGee mistakenly thinks he has found "John Doe") Jack McGee: I'm looking for Dell Frye. Dell Frye: That's me. What do you want? Jack McGee: I was expecting a younger man, dark brown hair.
(Jack McGee has cornered a masked David) Jack McGee: It's over, John. Take off the mask. David Banner: Mr McGee... mine is not a happy life. All I want is to get rid of the creature. Why won't you leave me alone? Jack McGee: From the beginning, no-one's believed me. You're my vindication. David Banner: And you'll be destroying me. Jack McGee: I'll be stopping... an uncontrollable and dangerous force. David Banner: The creature saved your life more than once, you know that. Jack McGee: The creature is also responsible for taking lives. I was there at the laboratory fire. He killed David Banner and Elaina Marks! David Banner: No! No, no, no. Elaina died in the fire. Not the creature. He tried to save her. Jack McGee: You'll have every chance to prove that in a court of law.
David Banner: Why is the town evacuated? Patty Knowlton: I'm sure Mr Cunningham has already explained all that to you. David Banner: I don't know any Cunningham. Patty Knowlton: Right. And, uh, of course you don't know about - what did Cunningham call it? A minor problem.
Dr Jason Spath: (about the Hulk) You mean you've seen this thing before? Jack McGee: Of course I have. I've chased it back and forth across the country the last three years. Brad: I'd like to know just how in hell you chased him into here. Jack McGee: Good reporter doesn't give up easily. Brad: This "good reporter" may find himself in prison.
Patty Knowlton: I'm sorry, David. David Banner: What did you do this time? Patty Knowlton: For being so suspicious of you. David Banner: That's understandable.
Dell Frye: (to David) It wasn't Clive who was the thing, it was me.
Paul Corton: (to a crippled David) Just because you can't walk, life doesn't stop. Just changes. How it changes is up to you.
