Gen. Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross: [Drinks shot; Barkeep gets another shot; Ross chugs the shot] Reload. Reload.

Tony Stark: [approaches Ross; Appears as Tony Stark] Mmmm, the smell of stale beer and defeat. Y'know, I hate to say "I told you so," General, but that Super-Soldier program was put on ice for a reason. I've always felt that hardware was much more reliable.

Gen. Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross: Stark.

Tony Stark: General.

Gen. Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross: You always wear such nice suits.

Tony Stark: Touché. I hear you have an unusual problem.

Gen. Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross: You should talk.

Tony Stark: [Ross leans in a bit as Stark whispers; [The Avengers (2012 film)|a team] You should listen. What if I told you we were putting ] together?

Gen. Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross: Who's "we"?

Abomination: [About to kill Ross with a huge chain] General…any last words?

Hulk: [Rouses; Smashes the ground] HULK…SMASH!!

Betty Ross: The subway is probably quickest.

Bruce Banner: Me? In a metal tube, deep underground with hundreds of people in the most aggressive city in the world?

Betty Ross: …right, let's get a cab.

Betty Ross: [Kicking the cab door as she gets out] ASSHOLE!!!

Bruce Banner: You know, I know a few techniques that could help you manage that anger effectively—

Betty Ross: You zip it! We're walking.

Bruce Banner: …okay.

Maj. Kathleen Sparr: Are you telling me you can make more like him?

Dr. Samuel Sterns: No, not yet! I've sorted out a few pieces, but it's not like I can put together the same Humpty Dumpty, if that's what you're asking. He was a freak accident, the goal is to do it better!

Maj. Sparr: [Knocked unconscious] So Banner was the only–

Emil Blonsky: Aah, she's an annoying bitch, isn't she?

Dr. Samuel Sterns: [Blonsky pulls out his gun and points it at Dr. Sterns] Why are you always hitting people?! Now what…could I have possibly done…to deserve such aggression?

Emil Blonsky: [Mumbling agitatedly; Dr. Sterns raises his head, interested] It's not what you've done, it's what you're gonna do. I want what you've got off Banner, I want that.

Dr. Samuel Sterns: [Rising] You look like…you've got a little something in you already, don't you?

Emil Blonsky: Yeah, well, I want more. You've seen what he becomes, right?

Dr. Samuel Sterns: I have…and it's beautiful. Godlike.

Emil Blonsky: I want that…I need that. Make me that.

Dr. Samuel Sterns: [Blonsky grabs Dr. Sterns by the collar and raises him into the air] I don't know what you've got inside you already. The mixture could become…an abomination. I didn't say I was unwilling…I just need informed consent…and you've given it!

Gen. Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross: You did the right thing contacting us. Leonard, I need to know where they're going. She'll be in incredible danger as long as she's with him.

Dr. Leonard Samson: From who? He protected her, you almost killed her.

Gen. Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross: I give you my word, her safety is my main concern at this point.

Dr. Leonard Samson: You know, it's a point of professional pride for me that I can tell when somebody's lying. And you are. I don't know where he's going. I know she'll help him if she can.

Gen. Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross: [Walks off] Then she's aiding a fugitive. And I can't help either one of them.

Dr. Leonard Samson: I used to wonder why she never talked about you. Now I know.

Gen. Thaddeus "Thunderblot" Ross: [To himself] Where does she meet these guys?

Gen. Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross: Betty–

Betty Ross: I will never forgive what you've done to him.

Gen. Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross: He's a fugitive.

Betty Ross: You made him a fugitive. To cover your failures, and to protect your career. Don't ever speak to me as your daughter again.

Gen. Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross: It's only because you're my daughter that you're not in handcuffs too.

Maj. Kathleen Sparr: Sir, Blonsky.

Gen. Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross: [Expecting the worst] Does anyone know if he had any next-of-kin or family?

Maj. Kathleen Sparr: Ask him yourself.

Emil Blonsky: [In perfect health, salutes Ross] Sir.

Betty Ross: What is it like? When it happens, what do you experience?

Bruce Banner: Remember those experiments we volunteered for at Harvard? Those induced hallucinations? It’s a lot like that, just a thousand times amplified. It’s like someone poured a liter of acid into my brain.

Betty Ross: Do you remember anything?

Bruce Banner: Just fragments. Images. There's too much noise, I can never derive anything out of it.

Betty Rose: But then, it's still you, inside of it–

Bruce Banner: No. No, it's not.

Betty Ross: I don’t know. In the cave, I really felt like it knew me. Maybe your mind is in there, it's just overcharged and can't process what's happening–

Bruce Banner: I don't want to control it. I want to get rid of it.

Betty Ross: Bruce, I don't understand why we can't just walk in and talk to my father.

Bruce Banner: He told me what he was gonna do. He wants it out of me. He wants to dissect it so he can replicate it. He wants to make it a weapon.

Gen. Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross: [[Captain America: The First Avenger|a bio-force enhancement project developed during World War II] You must realize what I'm about to tell you is very sensitive, both to me and the Army. You know that we have a Bio-Force Department, and that we had ].

Emil Blonsky: A super-soldier.

Thaddeus "Thunderbotl" Ross: A simplification, but yes. We decided to dust it off and give it another go, aiming to create a better soldier. Banner's work was very early phase. It wasn’t even weapons application. He thought he was working on radiation resistance. I would never have told him what the project really was. But he was so sure of what he was onto, that he tested it on himself. And something went very wrong– or it went very right. As far as I’m concerned, that man’s whole body is property of the U.S. Army.

Emil Blonsky: You said he wasn’t working on weapons, right?

Gen. Thaddeus "Thunderbotl" Ross: No.

Emil Blonsky: But you were. You were, weren’t you? You were trying other things.

Gen. Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross: One serum we developed…was very promising.

Emil Blonsky: So why did he run?

Gen. Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross: He's a scientist. He is not one of us.

Emil Blonsky: Forgive me, sir, but…doesn't anybody want to talk about what went down in there? Because he didn't lose us. And he was not alone, sir. We had him, but then something hit us. Something big hit us. IT THREW A FORKLIFT TRUCK LIKE IT WAS A SOFTBALL! It was the most powerful thing I've ever seen.

Gen. Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross: Well, it's gone.

Blonsky: Well, if Banner knows what it is, I'm gonna track him down, I'm gonna put my foot on his throat, and I'm gonna–

Gen. Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross: That was Banner. It was Banner.

Blonsky: [understandably confused] You'll have to explain that, sir.

Gen. Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross: No, I don't. You've done a good job. Pack up and get our men on a plane. We're going home.

Maj. Kathleen "Kat" Sparr: Here's something interesting. Possible gamma sickness. Milwaukee. Man drank one of those guarana sodas…guess it had a little more kick than he was looking for.

Milwaukee Man: [drops the bottle] Wow.

Dr. Samuel Sterns: [nervously, as Blonsky transforms into the Abomination; the Abomination knocks him into a table, injuring his head; a blood sample from Banner trickles into the wound, and he grins as his cranium starts to swell] This is... what I was trying to explain! I don't know what you've been... ladling into yourself... but clearly it worked. Let's assume you don't understand a word I'm saying... but if you'll just get back on the table... I can fix this...!

Emil Blonsky / Abomination: You don't deserve this power!

Emil Blonsky / Abomination: I've run into bad situations on crap missions before. I've seen good men go down purely because someone didn't let us in on what we were walking into, I've moved onto the next one, cause that's what we do, right? I mean that's the job, but THIS? This is a whole new level of weird, and I don't feel inclined to step away from it. So if you're taking another crack at him…I want in. AND with respect, you should be looking for a team that's prepped and ready to fight, because if that thing shows up again, you're going to have a lot of professional tough guys PISSING in their PANTS, sir.

Dr. Bruce Banner / Hulk: [Speaking Portuguese poorly; Pause, in English] Don't make me– hungry. You wouldn't like me when I'm– hungry. Wait, that's not right.
