Johnny Storm: Flame on! [goes invisible]
Reed Richards: [to Sue after she switches powers with Johnny] You're on fire!::Susan Storm: [shrieking] You think?
General Hager: [to Reed] Let me make this clear for you and your pack of freaks. I'm the quarterback, you're on my team. But I guess you didn't play football in high school, did you, Richards?::[Hager starts to walk away]::Reed Richards: You're right. I didn't. I stayed in and studied like a good little nerd. And fifteen years later, I'm one of the greatest minds of the 21st century. I'm engaged to the hottest girl on the planet. And the big jock who played football in high school, he standing right in front of me asking me for my help, and I say he's not going to get a damn thing, unless he does exactly what I say and starts treating me and my friends with some respect.::General Hager: [understandingly] Give him what he wants.::[Hagar walks away]::Susan Storm: [to Reed] I'm so hot for you right now.::Johnny Storm: [hugging Reed and switching powers] Me, too!
[from trailer]::Johnny Storm: [in a strangled voice after Silver Surfer grabs him by the throat] Can we talk?
[from trailer]::The Silver Surfer: All that you know, is at an end.
Johnny Storm: We wouldn't even be in this position if I wasn't such a complete screw up.::Ben Grimm: Hey, you're not a complete screw-up. A 'partial' screw-up, maybe.::Johnny Storm: Thanks.::Ben Grimm: Look, there's nothing you and me can do now. It's all up to the eggheads.::Johnny Storm: You think Reed's right? That this might really be the end of the world?::Ben Grimm: He's never wrong about stuff like this.::Johnny Storm: [after a long silence] You know, I'm not a very deep kinda guy...::Ben Grimm: [mocking Johnny's attempt at a sincere tone] No?::Johnny Storm: I'm just saying,::[lowers voice]::Johnny Storm: if we can't stop this, if it's really the end of the world... how are you going to spend your last few minutes?::Ben Grimm: [stares into his empty pitcher and thinks about the question] Part of me would like to go out fighting.::[pauses for a second]::Ben Grimm: But to tell you the truth, I think I'd like to spend my last few minutes holding onto Alicia.::Johnny Storm: [absentmindedly] That sounds good to me.::[notices Ben's jealous stare, realizes what he said, and tries to backtrack; he begins to stammer]::Johnny Storm: Not holding onto Alicia, because she's your girlfriend, not mine. I have no interest in her whatsoever.::[sees Ben's look getting worse]::Johnny Storm: Not that she's not attractive, because she is. 'So' attractive. I mean, who wouldn't want to...::[the glass pitcher shatters in Ben's hand]::Johnny Storm: What I meant, is that it's just nice to have somebody.::Ben Grimm: Well, you got me pal.
Susan Storm: This isn't how I imagined it.::Alicia Masters: Nothing ever is.::Susan Storm: Alicia, this just doesn't feel right.::Alicia Masters: It's okay. Even super heroes can have wedding-day jitters.::Susan Storm: It's more than that. Is my life always going to be a circus? Can we raise a child in... all 'this'? Face it, we're not exactly normal?::Alicia Masters: Ben and I aren't exactly a 'normal' couple. But that doesn't stop us from being happy. Do you love Reed?::Susan Storm: More than I've ever loved anyone.::Alicia Masters: Then there's your answer.
Johnny Storm: [after he throws a flaming dart which sets the dartboard on fire and has to dump a pint on it to extinguish it] Sorry, I'll pay for that.
Reed Richards: Your encounter with the Surfer has affected your molecules. They're... in a constant state of flux.::Johnny Storm: Is that bad?::Reed Richards: Well, it caused you to temporarily switch powers with Sue. Ideally, I'd like to run some more tests.::Ben Grimm: [walks toward Johnny] Would you like a volunteer?::Reed Richards, Susan Storm: No, no, no!::Johnny Storm: No, no! Hey! This is serious.::Ben Grimm: I just wanted to give him a hug.::Susan Storm: We don't know the extent of his condition yet.::Reed Richards: It could be progressive. It could be degenerative.::Ben Grimm: It could be fun!::[Ben touches Johnny and their powers switch]::Reed Richards: No, Ben!::Susan Storm: Ben!::Ben Grimm: Whoa! Hey! Hey, it's me. I'm back!::Johnny Storm: [looks at his reflection from the bottom of a silver pitcher and sees he's become The Thing] Oh, my God! Come on! We just said this is serious!::Ben Grimm: Oh, yeah, serious.::Johnny Storm: [looks back at his reflection] Oh, you got to be kidding me!
[trying to escape from the Army compound with the Silver Surfer, the Fantastic Four are confronted by Captain Raye]::Captain Frankie Raye: [pointing her gun at Reed] What's going on here? Where is General Hager?::Reed Richards: He's dead.::Ben Grimm: And if we don't get outta here soon... we're all gonna be.::Johnny Storm: [steps forward, a look of pleading on his face] Frankie...::[Captain Raye turns slightly and points her gun at Johnny]::Johnny Storm: The world is literally at stake. You have to trust us... please.::[Captain Raye stares at Johnny a few seconds, then takes her finger off the trigger of her gun]
Plot
Reed Richards, a brilliant but timid and bankrupt scientist, is convinced that evolution can be triggered by clouds of cosmic energy, and has calculated that Earth is going to pass one of these clouds soon. Together with his friend and partner, the gruff yet gentle astronaut muscle-man Ben Grimm, Reed convinces his conceited MIT classmate Dr. Victor Von Doom, now CEO of his own enterprise, to allow him access to his privately-owned space station. Von Doom agrees in exchange for control over the experiment and a majority of the profits from whatever benefits it brings. He thus brings aboard Susan Storm, his shy, though assertive chief genetics researcher and a former lover of Reed's with whom she had an acrimonious break-up, and her diametrically opposed brother Johnny, the maverick and hot-headed playboy pilot. The astronauts make it home intact; however, before long they begin to mutate, developing strange and amazing powers as a result of their exposure to the cloud! Reed is able to stretch like rubber; Sue can turn invisible and create force fields, especially when angered; Johnny can produce fire at supernova temperatures, and is able to fly; and Ben is transformed into "The Thing", a large, rock-like creature with super strength. After Ben, brooding about his situation on the Brooklyn Bridge, inadvertently causes a major traffic pile-up whilst attempting to stop a man about to commit suicide, the four manage to use their powers to prevent any loss of life and to rescue a fire truck and its crew from falling off the bridge in a resulting explosion. The media dubs the team the 'Fantastic Four', and whilst Johnny eagerly embraces his powers and new life, Ben - the most heavily disfigured - particularly suffers from his transformation; his disfigurement has caused his fiancée to abandon him and has seen him shunned and feared by much of New York. Blaming himself, Reed vows to return Ben to his human form, and he, Sue and Ben work on a cure, constructing a healing chamber in Reed's high tech Baxter Building loft-turned-laboratory. During this time, Reed and Susan begin to grow close once again, and Susan admits that she is not interested in Victor, but ended their relationship because Reed feared to commit, thinking only in terms of variables. Unknown to the others, however, Victor's body is also mutating; he is turning into organic metal capable of absorbing and manipulating electrical energy known as Doctor Doom. As a result of the disastrous expedition, his company is going bankrupt and he is losing public stature; blaming Reed for his misfortunes, Victor swears revenge. And Reed, Ben, Susan, and Johnny must defeat Victor Von Doom and foil his evil plans once and for all.

Fun. Fabulous. Fantastic.
Prepare for the fantastic.
Victor Von Doom: Do you really think fate turned us into gods so we could refuse these gifts?::Susan Storm: Victor, you *always* thought you were a god. Now back off.::Victor Von Doom: Susan, let's not fight.::Susan Storm: No, let's!
Johnny Storm: [to Reed, after the fight with Ben] What?::Reed Richards: You need to control yourself, and think before you act.::Johnny Storm: Yeah, but you see, that's your problem; you always think, you never act! What if we got these powers for a reason? What if it's like some higher calling?::Reed Richards: A higher calling? Like getting girls and making money?::Johnny Storm: Is there any higher? You know what Reed - this is who we are. Accept it. Or better yet, enjoy it.
Johnny Storm: [to Doom, after he sent a heat seeking missile after him] You missed me!
Johnny Storm: You know that looked cool!
[first lines]::Ben Grimm: Typical of Victor Von Doom to build a 30 foot statue of himself.
Susan Storm: [invisible] Look at me!::Reed Richards: I can't.
Susan Storm: Johnny, have you seen Ben?::Johnny Storm: Yeah, Sunshine just left. Look Sue, I'm sorry, I... I can't stay in this freak show, I gotta get back to the real world.::Susan Storm: You're calling that the real world?::Johnny Storm: Sue stop, you're not mum, don't talk to me like I'm a little boy, okay?::Susan Storm: Maybe I would if you stopped acting like one! Do you even hear yourself? Who do you think you are?::Johnny Storm: Why is everyone on my ass? If you guys are jealous, that's fine; I didn't expect it to come from you though.::Susan Storm: You really think those people out there care about you? You're just a fad to them, Johnny!::Johnny Storm: Let's try something new. You live your life, I'll live mine. Sound good?::[before Johnny walks out of the Baxter Building, he turns back to Sue]::Johnny Storm: Oh, and just for the record - they love me!
[Ben zips Johnny's suit all the way up]::Johnny Storm: Thank you. That's so sweet.::Ben Grimm: I can handle this ship. I can even handle Mr. Blonde Ambition. But I don't know if I should be flying or doing Swan Lake in these suits.
Johnny Storm: If you're good, maybe daddy'll let you drive.::Ben Grimm: You keep talking and there won't be a next time!
Ben Grimm: You know, living through something like this you really appreciate having the right woman in your life.::Reed Richards: Yeah, you and Debbie are perfect.::Ben Grimm: I'm not talking about Debbie.::[Indicates to Sue]::Reed Richards: What? Come on. She's got a good thing with Victor. He's smart, He's powerful, successful.::Ben Grimm: Well, maybe you should date him then.::Reed Richards: Ben, she ended up with the right guy, everything worked out for the best.::[Reed walks away]::Ben Grimm: Do I have to do everything myself?
