No matter what my fate, I face it without qualm! For I have learned from the humans how glorious it can be to have a cause worth dying for!
I have seen men build... and destroy. I have seen this world, which could be a paradise, reduced to a planet of greed, and fear, and hatred! I have seen humanity with its heritage betrayed! I can stomach no more!
Even within the smallest bit of matter, an endless cosmos may exist! For size is ever-changing, ever-relative -- and the sun and planets I see before me prove, beyond all doubt, that there have always been -- and will always be -- worlds within worlds!
Once I might have felled you with a shrug! But, though I am less than before... still am I the Silver Surfer! Still is mine the Power Cosmic!
To me, my flying board! With you once more beneath my feet-- our speed shall serve instead of strength!"
Even now... an agonizing weakness overcomes me! In my effort to save another's life... I expended too much of my own vital energy!
They long for peace, yet gird for war! They search for love, yet harbor hate! If man is sane... then the universe is steeped in madness!
When, if ever, will they learn to live in peace... as brothers? When will they learn... that love is the power supreme?
Though not even I have the power to slay you...Still I can make you feel pain! Still I can cause you to suffer--to fear...To pay for your acts of evil!
From this time forth, the Silver Surfer will battle them on their own savage terms! Let mankind beware! From this time forth...The Surfer will be the deadliest one of all!
For, if the one thing that makes the life of the star-crossed Silver Surfer at all bearable is to survive-- the Fantastic Four must die!
In every corner of the galaxy, it is the same-- the endless fascination with power... with new methods of destruction.
The universe has grown accustomed to a captive surfer-- one who had to govern his powers to avoid atomizing the world within the barrier. If they'd remembered me in my free state, they'd never have attempted such treachery!
Susan, I know that as Frankie Raye, Nova was once the object of your brother Johnny's affections, but you are being too nosy!
I grow comfortable basking in the glow of lesser-powered beings' admiration. Drinking it in as I drink the stellar light through my silvered skin and, like a drunkard, I forget that I'm still just a pawn!
How is a wanderer to know the truth in those whose lives he crosses? How is a wanderer to know anything for a certainty? In the dark days to come, I must learn!
Perhaps the Silver Surfer was never meant to fly free! Perhaps the day I chose to save the people of Zenn-La - to become the herald of Galactus. The day I agreed to have my flesh transformed to living silver metal! That day the Silver Surfer sealed his doom!
On no - I can hate! It may be that I hate injustice and cruelty, more than I hate any one man - but I was human once! And I became silver to save life!
Now-- let Hala beware! Though the mightiest warriors in the empire dwell here, we did not come to die! But whatever we find, be it victory or be it death-- this is the final battle of the Kree-Skrull War!
Clearly, he is insane. He has no power, save to alter his form... yet he goads them into firing upon him! Perhaps he has a death wish?
I must fight-- not only for my life, but for the remnants of a once proud race all but destroyed by my former master.
It matters not how you know of Shalla Bal and what there was between us, but if you knew love at all, you would not be the bitter soul you are this day.
Where do you think you're going, you emerald idiot? He left without me... he forgot... he forgot me...!
Those whom I wronged have forgiven me. They have shown me the path I must follow. To be truly free, I must forgive myself.
The Past is past. Whatever was between us... or wasn't... no longer matters. I bear you no malice, Nova. Tell me what troubles you. Please.
Even though he bared his Spirit to me by means of his Soul Gem and was twice instrumental in saving the Universe I still do NOT completely TRUST the Man. Perhaps it is because of the Confidence he exudese from having returned from beyond the Grave. More likely it is because Good and Evil mean nothing to him. His only Goal is protecting this Reality from his precious and powerful Infinity Gems and safeguarding them from a Universe that fears and craves them. So focused is he upon this Intent that all other Considerations become secondary. No, I am definitely NOT in the Mood for Adam Warlock.
Beta Ray Bill is safe from your blood-lust Asgardian. Only you and I remain. I challenge you to stand and fight, if you do not fear me.Your mystic hammer... against the Power Cosmic!
I refused to stand idly by and allow you to kill him. Life -- any life -- is too precious to be taken so callously.
All that happens, happens for a reason. Ellie was chosen. She was meant to be here. She was not meant to die on Earth with her mother.
Your gift is love, Ellie. Your grace protects you better than I ever could. I am old, and my soul know too much of the dark to guide one born so light.
Those who sent me on my mission would not have the Earth fall into lasting darkness. They would see men evolve not regress. You and the other children will lead a new world.
I am death's angel. I am not death. Death comes unbidden, with or without my consent. To run from this truth is to give in to darkness. By remaining present, by fulfilling my task, I am reborn in light. To you, Aman, it may burn cold--but it is all I have.
We are here to ensure the survival of the Earthling line. That is our mission, Amnel. I expect neither their forgiveness, nor their love.
I, too, once wished to die. But the heart is strong. It struggles to keep beating even when the will fails. I think if you were meant to die, you would have. Destiny calls you else-where. Consider what Ellie would want.
My beloved believed in destiny. I was, in those days, a man of reason, and she often chided me for my lack of faith. I know what she would have me do now. Very well, Denise. I will defy augury, and bring you Ellie, If I can.
The Ravenous creature has surpassed the limits of my indulgence. Let his downfall serve as warning. Galactus is and ever will be.
Reed is a wise man, willing to make hard choices. Like the choices you often make. Like the choice I have made.
I am not a god. I have never created life...but I have lived. That is enough. So I will fight to preserve that same opportunity -- to love, to dream, to soar among the stars -- for all those yet to come. Many lives will be lost in the battle ahead -- but their efforts will ensure that some remain to remember their deeds. And, like the gods, the will truly live forever...even after they are gone.
Galactus is coming. I have heard the lamentations of worlds -- yet if there are three more horrifying words in any corner of the cosmos, I've not heard them.
I bring a dire warning, Defenders. The fell energies at work upon Earth threaten to surpass even the Power Cosmic. To confront the enemies before you, you will need all the help you can muster. You will need the aid of the Silver Surfer!
And here, on this Street of Yancy, there is only one thing to say at this juncture... IT'S CLOBBERING TIME!
Once again I have done more harm than good. So many years on this planet, and still its people remain a mystery to me.
For the longest time, I was only going to places I had been before. Kree space. The Negative Zone. The Milky Way. Thanks to you, I have ventured into new frontiers again. I have traveled so far in your company, sometimes it is hard to imagine the person I was before I met you.
I know you have struggled mightily to bring life to the galaxy... I am proud to see you atone for our shared legacy of destruction, but now all life as we know it is imperiled by a heinous evil, armed with the Soul Gem. I was almost... devoured by power wielded by Ultron. I would not ask if it were not a last resort. What say you, Galactus the Lifebringer? Will you consume one world... to save the entire galaxy?
I will not use your pain to bargain, but I will ask only once... if I help you today... if I fix you... will you help me in my fight?
All you've done is given me something to occupy my time until my master arrives... which he has. The end of this world is imminent. I would depart if I were you.
Your shadow... cannot be erased. You cannot defeat the dark. But you can find the light inside of you. Protect it. Keep it from harm. Care for it. For it will be fragile. And then, when it is strong... share it. Give it away. Shine it down upon those still trapped in the shadows. And in time... perhaps... the brilliance of your light will outshine the void within. And. There. Bathed. In. Flame. You. Will. Be... forgiven.
WHO DARES?! Who dares disturb the final resting place of Al Harper... hero and trusted friend of the Silver Surfer?!
I am not a god. I have never created life... but I have lived. That is enough. So I will fight to preserve that same opportunity -- to love, to dream, to soar among the stars -- for all those yet to come. Many lives will be lost in the battle ahead -- but their efforts will ensure that some remain to remember their deeds. And, like the gods, they will truly live forever... even after they are gone.
That is his way! Empathically sensing the secrets of those around him, using duplicity and flattery, Ru'ach cripples a planet's defense system from inside to make it vulnerable!

Silver Savage | I must return to the stars. Will you come? |
Hulk | Huh. Back when we first met, that's all I wanted. I hated the stupid humans. They never left me alone. Then I saw you in the sky, thought you were a flying saucer. I wanted to catch you, make you take me away to another world. |
Silver Savage | I'm sorry. If I had known... Let me take you now. |
Hulk | You don't get it. I'm finally here. |

Silver Surfer | What are you doing? Stop that. Breathe. |

Silver Surfer | Power Cosmic. |
Dawn Greenwood | That's very... convenient. |
Silver Surfer | That's the Power Cosmic. |
Silver Surfer | So? Aren't you going to ask Stephen how he fixed the hole in the roof? The walls? The stairs? |
Dawn Greenwood | He did it with magic. |
Silver Surfer | And you're okay with that? |
Dawn Greenwood | Why not? That's magic. Makes perfect sense. |
Dawn Greenwood | Look, it came out of nowhere. |
Silver Surfer | Dawn, it's a planet. |
Dawn Greenwood | It was a very sudden planet. |
Dawn Greenwood | I've been meaning to ask... if they're aliens, why are they speaking French? |

Groot | I am Groot. |
Groot | I am Groot. |
Dawn Greenwood | Hi, Groot. I'm Dawn Greenwood. |

Silver Surfer | He is Groot. That is what he says. |
