Fergoshsakes!! Just 'cause I wanted to give folks a little entertainment doesn't mean I'm a publicity-hog! Doggonit!
Set your mind at ease, Big Daddy! Whatever your caper is, I'll still wrap it up in time to date some lucky chick tonight!
You were right, Reed! And I was wrong again -- as usual. I lost my temper -- blew my cool -- gave up on you, and on Ben -- just like a spineless quitter!
Er -- ah -- hi, Hulk -- ol' buddy -- ol' pal. Thanks for the catch. N-nice weather we're having, isn't it? It isn't?
...Crystal. I've been trying for weeks... months... and I just can't get her out of my mind. The idea of her and Quicksilver... the two of them getting married... It's just too much.
Clowns like you make me sick. While everyone in this world is trying to get his own personal life together-- you go around acting like a blasted god! Maybe that's okay for your flunkies... but mister it's not okay for me!
I have pretty much adjusted to Crystal being your lady now, and I'm happy for you both. I really am.
A kid died today, Sue, died because of me. Because I never stopped to consider what the Human Torch might mean out in the real world.
I can't blame you for hating a hopeless butthead like me, but I hope you'll find a way to forgive me someday.
I'm the Human Torch! I am flame! And the nature of flame is to rise! Push your powers to its limits-- you won't bring me down a second time!
But despite your low regard for my intelligence, I'm not forgetting that you're going to get this flame back under control after we save Mantis!
From the looks of that blast -- there won't be any survivors! But... where's Ben--? What's happened to The Thing?!
Here's my proposal, Roma. Leave Franklin with us. If it works out, your needs are satisfied. If it doesn't -- -- if we can't handle the responsibility, or the threats, to your satisfaction -- -- you get us all. Whatever fate you plan for Franklin, we face it together.
Johnny Storm... The Human Torch... ...not a thief... not a spoiled kid... not a quitter... ...a hero.
Don't know why I've been questioning Reed's every decision. Nobody's proved himself time and time again like Reed. Maybe it was seeing him lose control while in the Doom armor that bothers me. If a guy like Reed can fall apart, what hope is there for a hothead like me?
The Skrulls were looking for one of their kind... their own super champion. He's hiding here, they say... and I have a pretty good idea who he is --
But... what if this is that one time they don't? What am I to do? Reed and Sue have kids! What am I going to tell them? I mean, have you ever lost anyone close to you? Like a family member?
Three of the Fantastic Four are in the Negative Zone -- maybe lost -- and I can't get to them. Meanwhile, the world needs an F.F. to handle -- you know -- F.F. stuff!
I screwed up a lot in my life, Crystal. My relationship with you... ...my chance to be a movie star... Look -- I can't even control my own flame. But I'm not gonna screw this up! I'm not gonna let my sister die!
Oh, please. I know when my film's been flammed, okay? You think you're masters of subterfuge? I deal with Skrulls. A little credit here...
If I can help the family, I want to be a part of this. Jian'll backstop me, but you can trust me. I'm not always fourteen. Everything I do know about being an adult, I learned from you, okay?
Gentlemen, may I present Firefox. The fireball femme fatale... the killer of Vinnie Costello... ...and the end of your troubles!
You can't use my mojo because it's too... too human! I forget. You're not a giant man with a bad wardrobe. Not the giant part, anyway. Yes, you're big......but humanoid...nose, fingers, optic nerves, etcetera...is how my brain registers you so it doesn't melt down.
Reed knew?! I didn't but Reed knew?!! That's it! I'm being punk'd, aren't I?! Take it off, kutcher! Right now!
I'm happy for Ben. Seriously, good for him. It's just... You've been an Avenger. Reed's been an Avenger. Hell, probably Val's gonna get drafted next week... And do you think that Luke Cage, when he was putting together his team, thought, for even one second: 'I'll ask Johnny Storm'? ... I know exactly what it means, Sue. And it's nobody's fault but my own. I made my bed of mediocrity...now I'm lying in it.
So this is it. A billion to one... you think I'm afraid of that? You think I'm afraid of that?! Flame on!
If you’re hearing this, I’m sorry, pal. Sorry that I’m gone. ‘Cause... well... I know how you feel when it comes to losing family. And that’s what you are to me. Family. So... if you’re thinking of this as my last will and all... I’m not leaving you my sports cars or stuff like that... I’m leaving you the best thing I ever had... My spot on this team. A place in this family. The best sister, two brothers, niece, and nephew a guy could ask for. They— We all love you, Pete. So? You up for it, bro? We’re all here for you.
I believe the question was, how can I defeat a Kree armada... It's simple. I have my own... The Annihilation Wave.
I can't feel them anymore, guys-- It's like I've lost a limb or something-- It's-- I-- My powers are gone.
I have a career as a singer, fame -- There's my tour to focus on -- even without my powers, that's a life most guys'd kill for. So until that day you come to me, Reed, all "I've found it, Johnny, I've got the cure..."... I guess it's "Flame Off."
Oh, Hell no! You come after my people, I will quote from the Book of Ben Grimm:
It's clobberin' time!
It's clobberin' time!
"I'm Spider-Man! I'm the relatable super hero with relatable problems! Just ask my long-lost sister from my super-spy parents with Nazi g--"
So, what's the plan again? Reed left you a message in a device, which Doom had but couldn't access. So Doom gave you the device and in that message Reed pointed you to.... another device he left?
Ben... should we be doing this? What if we just have a shrinking reservoir of power left? This isn't even our universe! It's one of a million! And we have to find our Reed and Sue still!
Is this what you're trying to do, man? Fill the void left by Reed? By the FF? Doesn't that just leave a void where the Mad Thinker was? Or... are you so much of a joke that no one would care if you were missing?
You thought you could be Reed? Being Reed Richards isn't about being super smart, or having his powers... it's about being selfless. It's about helping people. You really want to be Mister Fantastic, Thinker? Fill some void? Well, last I checked, this world didn't have one anymore.
Nope... there's only one equation we've ever needed. Two plus two... equals four. That solves everything.
Ms. Koul, no one understands the lengths a person would go to for loved ones more than we do. I promise I'll do my best to help your sister -- we'll do our best... because that's what this family is all about.
You thought your gods gave you eternal life. But really, your lives ended. You can't die... but you also can't change. You can't become better people. Your lives can't move on... and you'll never know how happy you could've been.
We're the Fantastic Four. We're so used to saving the universe, we think we can fix anything. Or anyone. Sue, we might not have the skill set to deal with this, maybe once... We should look things straight in the eye and admit we need help.

Johnny Storm | You get an aspirin, you BIG APE! |

Johnny Storm | I know, Crys -- And I understand. But at least we've got this time, this moment... And until there'll be others, I can wait and remember this. |
Human Torch | All I want to hear now, is-- Is it him you love-- or me? |
Crystal | That's just it, Johnny, I-- I don't know!! |
Human Torch | Y'know Spider-Man -- You can be such a loud-mouthed show-off jerk at times! |
Spider-Man | Yeah, the same goes for you. |
Human Torch | I know they say your best friends won't tell you -- but, geez, Spidey, forget about deodorants -- have you considered Lysol?! |
Spider-Man | Oh, shut up, Torch. |
Human Torch | Bite me, bug-boy! |
Spider-Man | "Arachnid", if you please. If you're going to be insulting, at least get the terms right. |
Johnny | Wait! Whoever you are -- don't go! |
Crystal | No! We can't meet like this! We can't! |
Johnny Storm | You're mad, right? Not disappointed? 'Cause when you're disappointed, that's much worse. |
Sue Richards | I'm neither. I'm decisive. This clinches it. Desperate times, desperate measures. |
Johnny Storm | Ready to go home? |
Reed Richards | We're not going home. |
Spider-Man | I see you found all your clothes. |
Human Torch | Except for my boxers. |
Spider-Man | You truly share way too much. |
Johnny | Namor's not such a bad guy. |
Reed | You're not such a bad guy. |
Sue | ..then you'll have no problem piloting this. |
Johnny | Whoa...! Don't tell me this bathtub flies. |
Ben | 'Course it does. He probably dreamed it up one afternoon between Seinfeld reruns. Okay, Susie. You better hope he designed this thing fer these mitts I gor fer hands now... |
Spider-Man | I gotta admit, hotshot, that was pretty classic. Heh heh... "Lederhosen." Just the word is funny. Y'know what? I think I hate you less now. |
Human Torch | Hey, credit where it's due, you had the idea. We're gonna have to face it--we actually make a pretty good team when it all hits the fan. |
Spider-Man | My god. |
Human Torch | Pete... What the heck are you wearing? |
Spider-Man | Johnny? |
Peter Parker | Everyone was trying to buy this place. Alchemax, Roxxon, Hammer. ...and I outbid 'em all. So I could hold onto it... until the day the FF are finally back. And that day will come, Johnny. |
Johnny Storm | Until it does, I'm glad it's staying with family. |
Human Torch | Speaking of handling. Which of your finely tuned and expensive toys are we taking this time? The Spider-Copter? Spider-Cycle? Spider-Underground-Drill-Car? |
Spider-Man | We're in a city. With tall buildings. I'm taking the greatest Spidey vehicle of 'em all. Thwip thwip. |
