Betty!
Argh!
[Starts Car]
Oh!
Whoa! Whoa!
Hello, Boys.
We've Been
Looking For You.
Huh? El Hombre Verde.
Not Betty?
Un Minuto, Amigo.
Hmm?
Muchas Gracias.
[Thunder]
[Groans]
Aah!
Where Am I?
Los Angeles.
I Made It.
Phone: Hello.
You've Reached The Offices
Of Stark Enterprises.

Look, I'm Here
To See Tony Stark.
Or If He's Not Around,
Maybe That Rusty
Bodyguard Of His,
The Iron Maiden.
His Name's Iron Man.
Listen, Kid, Try Calling
The Offices At A Decent Hour,
Like Daytime.
But I Make A Heck
Of A Better Impression
In Person.
Hey!
[Alarm Sounds]
Yow! In The Hot Zone!
Yeah! Uhh!
Let Me Guess.
You Just Kind Of Wandered
Off The Bike Path?
Wait! I've Got
To See Stark.
He Might Know Where
To Find Someone:
Bruce Banner.
Dr. Banner?
Come With Me.
Computer: Mr. Tony,
I'm Sorry To Interrupt You.)?
It's Ok, Homer.
I'm Just Juicing Up
The Old Body Battery
For The Night.
What Do You Need?
Mr. Rhodes Is Asking
Permission To See You.
He Says It Is
Of Extreme Importance,
But, Of Course, Mr. Rhodes
Always Says That.
Gee, Isn't It Your Night
To Tuck Him In?
Whoa.
We're Off To See
The Wizard ♪
Rhodes--
Uh, War-Machine,
Little Late For
The Grand Tour,
Isn't It?
Evel Knievel Here
Took A Mad Dash Through
Your Perimeter Stun-Raiders
Hoping To Find
Bruce Banner.
Banner? Hmm.
Thanks, War-Machine.
Is Dr. Banner
A Friend Of Yours?
Try Best Friend.
He's Got Himself Missing,
And I Have A Bugging Hunch
He's Coming Here.
Recording: Bruce Banner
For Tony Stark. Aah! Aah!
That Message Came In
20 Minutes Ago.
Where?
How Can We--Aah!
Heh Heh. I'm Afraid
My Holographic Computer
Is Developing
A Rather Wicked
Sense Of Humor.
Finished With
The Analysis, Homer?
Origin Of Dr. Banner's
Transmission:
Emergency Call Box,
Los Angeles,
At Fifth And Thomas.
Ah, Rough Turf.
Rick: No Prob, Because
I'm A Rough Rider.
Shall I Prepare
Iron Man, Sir?
Yeah. Be Sure
To Oil His Knees,
Because
We've Got To Run.
No! Bruce!
Bruce!
Wake Up, Man!
Wake Up!
Who Are You?
Get Away From Me!
Man,
What Are You Doing?
This Overpass
Is About To Pancake!
Let's Move!
Aah!
[Gasps In Pain]
I Don't Know You!
Leave Me Alone!
Aah!
Wait!
What Are You Doing?
Hey, Hulk,
It's Me, Rick!
Hulk Smash!
Next Time You Feel
Like Throwing A Punch,
Try Throwing It
At Iron Man.
Argh!
Hulk!
Leave Him Alone!
[Groans]
I've Got
To Stop Extending
Those Kind Of Invites.
Metal-Man Hulk's Enemy!
Yeah, Well,
You've Got To Admit,
You're A Little Hard
To Warm Up To Yourself.
Rick: Hulk, Man,
You're All Mixed Up,
Big Fella.
Don't Do This.
Hulk Bash Enemy!
Argh!
Eat Green!
Typical.
Homer, Status?
Homer:
Repulsors Down. Energy Four
At Dangerous Levels.
You Must Avoid
Sustaining Another Blow.
Words To Live By.
Hey! Friends, Man!
We're Your Friends!
Try And Remember.
Friends.
Hulk Doesn't Hurt
His Friends.
Friend?
Yeah, Yeah.
And Remember
What I Told You
A Long Time Ago?
Friends Take Care
Of Each Other.
Hulk's Friend?
Rick?
That's Right.
Rick And Hulk,
All The Way.
Argh!
That's Right.
It's Over.
You're Going
To Be Ok, Buddy.
One Hulk-Sized
Nutrient Bath Cylinder
Now In Place.
And On-Line.
Hey, Doc, It Worked!
What Say We Fill Her Up
And Take Her For
A Test Drive, Huh?
Remember To Fasten
Your Seat Belt,
Muscles.
[Alarm Sounds]
Power Overload!
Betty, Get Out Of Here!
Aah!
You're--
You're Almost Worth
Keeping Around.
Yeah, Well, What's The Point
Of Having Gamma-Reinforced
Muscles And Hide
If You Can't Use Them
To Save A Pretty Lady
Now And Then?
Doc, The Nutrient Bath,
It's--
This Is All So Wrong.
We Work Night And Day
On A Cure For Bruce,
While My Own Father's
In The Next Building
Plotting To Destroy Him.
Oh, Bruce.
We're Trying.
Don't Give Up,
Wherever You Are.
[Electronic Beeps]
He's Right There.
Left A Trail Of Chaos
And Destruction A Mile Wide.
Pretend To Be Useful,
Super-Spy,
And Sniff Out
Any Ties Banner Has
With Southern Cal.
The Answer's Right In Front
Of Your Battle-Hungry
Little Eyes, General:
Stark Enterprises.
Tony Stark?
He's Just One Of Our
Government Contractors,
A Businessman.
But Also The Man Who Supplied
Bruce Banner
With The Materials
To Build His Infamous
Gamma Reactor.
Well, Then,
Let's Place Us A Little
Person-To-Person Call.
[Door Opens]
Where The--Who?
It's Me, Tony Stark.
Your Memory Back,
Old Friend?
Fading In And Out.
Tony, What Happened?
Rick And I Got Into
A Little Fracas
With A Very Confused
Green-Eyed Monster,
And We're Not
Talking Jealousy.
Rick?
Where Did--Aah!
Sorry.
This Headache--
Is Rick Ok?
Doing Fine.
He's Doing Fine.
He's A Sharp Kid.
One Dedicated Friend.
Yeah.
Better Than I Deserve.
My Life's A Nightmare
For Anyone It Touches.
What'll I Do?
Every Cure To Rid Myself
Of Hulk Has Failed Miserably.
Hey, Hey. It's Not Until
I Failed Miserably
That I Really Started
To Get Serious.
Let's Say We Put
Our Eggheads Together
And Take Another Crack
At That Cure, Huh?
Hey, Cool.
So, This New Armor's
Repulsor Ray
Packs More Wallop
Than The One Iron Man
Used On Hulk?
So Homer Boasts,
Endlessly.
Say, You And The Hulk
Got Some Kind Of Friendship
Going On, Or What?
Yeah, Well,
It's Bruce
Saving My Dumb Rear
That Got Him Blessed
With Gamma Rays
In The First Place.
I Owe It To Him
To Be There,
You Know, Through
The Rough Times.
I Know
What You Mean, Kid.
Friends Do That.
Homer: Excuse Me, Sir.
Uh, Sorry.
He Spooked Me.
Again.
It's Ok.
I've Often Wanted
To Do That Myself.
I Have An Urgent Call
From S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent
Gabriel.
Better Skinny
Out Of Here, Kid.
You Got
An Invoice Beef, Gabe?
Take It Up With
The Bean-Counters
In Accounting.
Was That Humor,
Rhodes?
If So,
Why Don't You
Just Laugh On Over
And Get Me Stark?
That Is, If He's Not
Too Busy Hiding
Bruce Banner.
Got A Point Somewhere
In All This, Gabe?
Why Don't You
Figure It Out?
Invest A Quarter.
Give Me A Holler.
Computer,
Replay Transmission.
Freeze. Isolate
Upper Left Quadrant
And Magnify.
Remove Distortion.
General:
Rick Jones?
If That Kid's There,
So Is Banner.
And If Banner's There,
You Can Bet
Your Tarnished Star
Stark'll Put Up A Fight
To Protect Him.
And If It's A War
He Wants,
This Is One Old Soldier
Who Isn't About
To Fade Away.
Uh, Rick, Before
My Memory Skips
Another Beat,
I, Uh--
I Want
To Say Thanks.
For Not Giving Up
On Me, Even When--
Hey, It Wasn't Too Long Ago
When Everyone Had
Given Up On Me.
Everyone
But A Certain Doctor.
So Enough Said.
Tony: Ok, Bruce.
The Good News Is
I Was Able To Replace
Several Outdated Components
In Your Design,
Mainly
The Gamma Filters.
The Bad News
Is That Once You're Put
Into Stasis Sleep,
I'll Have To Artificially
Induce Your Hulk State
To Purge
The Gamma Mutation.
Should Be Some Ride.
Yeah. Understood.
Homer:
Initiating Containment.
Best Of Luck, Sir.
Tony: Once We Start,
There's No Turning Back.
We've Just Got To
Make It Through.
Old Bruce Has Had More
Than His Share Of Bogus Days.
Besides, What Could
Possibly Go Wrong?
Yank The Guards
To Safety.
Secure The Perimeter.
Locate The Building's
Power Supply.
And Then, We'll Knock.
Homer:
Initiating Gamma Purge
In 5, 4, 3--
Standby.
Tony,
Circle The Wagons.
We Got Party-Crashers.
Must've Spotted The Kid.
Rick: Hulkbusters.
Way To Go, Hotshot.
They Want Bruce.
Yeah, Well,
We Don't Always Get
What We Want In Life.
Rhodie,
Crank Auto-Security
To Level 10.
If Anyone
Even Spits Our Way,
Let Them Know Just
How We Feel About It.
Rhodes: You Got It,
Boss-Man.
Setting To Sizzle.
Homer, Recommence
Gamma Purge.
Tony: Pack Up
Your Overpriced Hardware
And Hit The Highway, Ross.
Bruce Banner Stays Put.
You're Forcing A Hand
You Don't Want To,
Stark.
With National Security
At Risk,
Private Property
Isn't An Issue.
We're Prepared
To Go The Distance.
And With The Trust
Of A Friend At Risk,
So Am I,
And Then Some.
So Much For Knocking.
Hulkbusters, Move In.
Moving Into Critical
Gamma State.
If We Get
Through This, We'll--
Hold On. Mutagenic's
Remaining Stable.
It's Not Purging.
There Must Be A Flaw.
No! Banner's Mutated Dna
Is Manufacturing Defenses!
Duck-And-Cover, Sports Fans.
He's Hulking Out!
Talbot,
Blow His Breakers.
Homer: Main Power Outage.
Alternate Grid On-Line.
War-Machine, Set Up
Those Backup Generators.
We Cannot Lose Power!
I'll Try An Amp Runner
On Banner's Biosystem.
[Helicopter]
Move It, Hero, Move It!
Robots In. Prepare
The Containment Trap.
Almost Got It.
No!
Power Levels Down 70%.
Proceed To Terminate.
He's Waking Up!
[Roars]
Tony: On The Real
Wrong Side Of The Bed.
Aah!
Hulk Bash Enemy!
His Memory's Back
In The Twilight Zone!
Hulk Smash Puny Human!
Come On, Hulk,
You've Got To Remember!
Pardon Me, Mr. Hulk,
But That Machine
Is A Highly Expensive
Piece Of--
Move!
Oh, Never Mind.
All Right, Hulk.
Let's Say
We Keep This Between
Just You And Me.
Metal-Man Hulk Enemy!
Argh!
Whoa!
I Got The Tin Men.
You Hit The Hulk.
Sorry, Busters.
No Fiddling On Our Roof.
Need A Hand, Kid?
Rick: Hate Myself
For Saying It,
But, No, Thanks,
Already Got One.
Heh Heh.
Somebody Give Me
A Status Report Now.
[Chuckles]
Consider That
Word From The Front.
Argh!
Happy To See You,
Too, Big Guy,
But You've Just
Got To Learn To Let Go.
Aah!
Hulk!
Hey There,
Shell-Head. I'm
Coming.
Rick: Come On, Hulk! Bash
This Thing! Trash It!
Argh!
Blast!
What's That Punk Kid
Think He's Doing?
Rick: When In Doubt,
Break Something!
Uhh!
Oh!
Friend.
Hulk Remember Now.
Friend.
Friend!
Aah!
Argh!
Rick?
He's Going To Be Ok,
Big Fella.
Hulk, Get Him Out Of Here.
While We End
This Little Soiree
With A Bang.
General Ross:
Nice Fairy Tale, Iron Man,
But The Hulk
Would Not Go Down Because
Of A Little Lab Explosion.
Now Where Is He?
And The Kid.
Search Me,
But Take Your Chances
If You Do.
They're Not
In The Building.
Oh, And,
Gentlemen,
Do We Submit
The Bill For Damages
To S.H.I.E.L.D.
Or To The Pentagon?
Well,
Let's Pull Out.
Thanks For Dropping In.
Oh, Mama.
Going To Need A Month
Or Two In The Whirlpool
After Tonight.
Sir, I Have
Calculated The Damages
And Have Deduced
That Helping Dr. Banner
Was Not Very Cost-Effective.
Sure It Was, Homer,
Because There's
Nothing More Valuable
Than Friendship.
