Keep your hands off of her! (ROARS) DAVID: (LAUGHING) You won't like me when I'm angry.
(GRUNTS) (HULK ROARS) You've always tried so hard to suppress the creature.
DAVID: You don't want him released.
I can and I will! Come with me, Laura.
Laurie, what are you doing? She's leaving with me.
(TIRES SCREECHING) David! NARRATOR: Dr.
David Banner, physician, scientist.
Searching for a way to tap into the hidden strengths that all humans have.
Then, an accidental overdose of gamma radiation alters his body chemistry.
And now, when David Banner grows angry or outraged, a startling metamorphosis occurs.
(ROARS) The creature is driven by rage and pursued by an investigative reporter.
Mr.
McGee, don't make me angry.
You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.
The creature is wanted for a murder he didn't commit.
David Banner is believed to be dead.
And he must let the world think that he is dead until he can find a way to control the raging spirit that dwells within him.
(ROARS) MIKE: You should have seen it, Ellie.
I'll tell you, the Caspian Sea, it's a miracle.
It's the single most beautiful thing I've ever seen.
I'll tell you something else.
Right now there's nothing as beautiful for me as my wife and my little girl here.
Thank you, Mike.
That's so sweet.
Sweet, isn't it, Laurie? Laurie? Sweet, yeah.
Wow, do you hear that, Ellie? It's like I'd never been gone at all.
She's tough as nails.
That's fine with me.
You gotta be tough to make it in this world.
The least you could do is give your dad a hug and a kiss.
I've been here two days and all I get from you is a lot of the old evil eye.
Come on.
What's wrong, anyway? I mean, is it 'cause I missed her graduation? Is that If dinner's ready, I'll go tell David.
Dinner's ready.
He's only a boarder.
Why can't he just come down here at 7:00? Why do you have to go up and give him some kind of a special invitation? David works hard when he gets home, studying, writing.
I'm just doing him a favor.
Well, favors are nice.
Why don't you do your father a favor? I ask you for a little hug and all I get from Mmm-hmm.
(SIGHS) (KNOCKING ON DOOR) (DOOR OPENS) LAURIE: Dr.
Frankenstein, I presume.
Well, I I guess it sort of looks like that, doesn't it? I was just kidding.
I I like the way it looks.
It's as if something's happening in here, you know? Something important.
Oh, finding a new formula for lipstick cohesion.
Is that what you're really doing? I'm afraid so, yeah.
No vaccines? No cure for the big C? No changing lead to gold? No, nothing so spectacular.
I'm afraid I'm just like everybody else, Laurie.
I'm trying to find a way of making money.
Survival.
You're not like everybody else.
(SIGHS) Anyway, dinner's ready.
Okay, I'll be down in a second.
Okay.
Sausages and home fries? Fine.
(DOOR CLOSES) She's young, that's all.
Yeah.
She still thinks that everything in life has to be perfect.
You were gone almost a year this time, Mike.
Look, you were home only a month and you were gone for 10.
Look at how much money I made on this cruise.
I mean, this place is almost paid for.
I got Okay.
Okay.
"Money isn't everything, Mike.
" I know that, honey.
Look, I am back.
And now I'm back to stay, all the way.
A solid citizen.
No more shipping out for Mike Schulte.
I'm staying with my family from now on.
So there we are.
We're in Hong Kong harbor.
We're about ready to go on leave.
The boatswain steps off the boat and he smacks this cop right in the kisser.
Nobody knows why, and suddenly we're We're finding ourselves with maybe 50 guys around us.
Would you like some more potatoes? Yes, I would, please.
Well, when that happens we have DAVID ON TAPE RECORDER: Control of the creature, I believe, can now be concentrated in one area, the primitive, aggressive right side of the brain.
By suppressing activity in this quadrant, I can hopefully build the left side's intellectual dominance and prevent further seizures.
Utilizing the carotid arterial pathway, I hope to saturate the right side target area before any of the drug reaches the left side brain.
If any of the residual elements should slip past, I think they would be of insufficient quantity and strength so as to not adversely affect the subject.
Muscle tension.
Pronounced aching.
Drowsiness.
Reactions not following (BREATHING HEAVILY) Projected analysis.
Vision impairment increasing.
Something wrong.
Something wrong.
(BREATHING FASTER) (GROANS) (SCREAMS) (LAUGHING MANIACALLY) (BREATHING DEEPLY) A mistake.
You really messed up, didn't you, Banner? Hmm? You've always tried so hard to suppress the creature.
You don't want him released.
Well, I do.
And I can.
And I will! (LAUGHING MANIACALLY) (SCOFFS) (LAUGHING) (LAUGHING MANIACALLY) (DAVID LAUGHING) There it is again.
Again? What again? You're laughing.
I heard you in your room a few minutes ago laughing.
And here you are eating Thursday's chicken and laughing.
(LAUGHS) Is there anything strange about a man laughing? Hmm? Tell me.
Come on, tell me.
Well, I know it's dumb, but I didn't think it was you.
It frightened me.
I thought someone else was in your room.
(SCOFFS) Laurie to the rescue, huh? (LAUGHS) Laura, the huntress.
Laura? Yes.
Much nicer than Laurie.
Laurie is a girl's name.
(STAMMERING) And I'm not a girl? You're a woman.
Laura is a woman.
(EXCLAIMS IN PAIN) David? (EXCLAIMS IN PAIN) David, are you all right? MIKE: What's going on here? Laurie, answer me.
What's going on here? Nothing, Dad.
We just got hungry around the same time is all.
And David cut his hand.
It's all right.
Oh, that's good.
I, uh I should do something about this.
Barnard, I think you ought to find some other place to stay.
A week ought to do it, don't you think, for you to find some other place? Don't ever touch me.
Do you hear me? Don't ever touch me again.
I'll I'll find another place just as soon as I can.
I'm sorry.
Nice friends you got.
DAVID ON TAPE RECORDER: A mistake.
You really messed up, didn't you, Banner? You've always tried to suppress the creature.
You don't want him released.
Well, I do.
And I can.
And I will! (LAUGHING MANIACALLY) (TAPE RECORDER CLICKS OFF) (TELEPHONE RINGING) Devin Chemicals.
Mr.
Fischer's office.
Yes, this is David Barnard calling.
I won't be in today.
I'm ill.
Oh, David, that's too bad.
I was sort of hoping you'd break down and take me out to lunch today.
Well, I'm sorry, Miss Farber.
Miss Farber? You know, David, that's your problem.
You're so formal, so tense.
Tension causes illness, you know.
You should learn to relax more.
Listen, I'm a member of a sort of a private club on the East Side.
The Swingtime.
Maybe, if you're feeling better I'll be there tonight.
Maybe you can stop by.
If you'd just tell Mr.
Fischer that I won't be in, Miss Farber.
DAVID ON TAPE RECORDER: Tests of my blood show that the experimental serum has interacted negatively with my brain's natural catecholamines.
The result is a new hybrid enzyme, hereafter referred to as Enzyme-7.
Instead of suppressing aggressive tendencies, Enzyme-7 has the reverse effect.
It releases primal, even violent impulses.
There's a twofold danger to the effects of Enzyme-7.
I'm more likely to undergo metamorphosis, and the creature will reflect a different and highly aggressive personality.
I believe that another injection, utilizing a strong Prolixin-amino compound, will reverse the effects of the experiment.
However, I must get Prolixin in very soon.
Enzyme-7 continues to be produced, and its effects will most likely return, perhaps for a longer period of time.
Perhaps permanently.
(KNOCKING ON DOOR) Yes? Dinner is served.
Come on, David.
You have to eat.
Thank you.
I'm not hungry, Laurie.
Laurie? What happened to Laura? I I'm sorry about last night.
I wasn't well.
I'm 18, you know.
Last month.
Look, Laurie, you're a lovely girl A woman.
That's what you said, isn't it? A woman? Laurie, look.
You've got to leave.
I'm sorry.
Just forget about last night.
I don't want to forget! No! David, I like you a lot! Laurie, you've got to go, please! (DISCO MUSIC PLAYING) (WOMAN WHOOPING) (PEOPLE CHATTERING) So, you decided to come anyway.
Dance with me.
Hey, man.
This lady's with me.
I doubt that her taste is that bad.
(GRUNTING) Touch me again, I might get angry.
Sucker puncher, huh? (COUPLE PROTESTING) (LAUGHING) You won't like me when I'm angry.
(LAUGHING MANIACALLY) (GRUNTS) (GROANING) (SNARLING) (SCREAMING) MAN: I don't believe this! (SCREAMING) (HULK ROARING) (ROARS) WOMAN: Look! He's going to kill him! (CROWD SCREAMING) (MISS FARBER SCREAMING) (POLICE SIREN WAILING) (SCREAMING) (ROARS) Call in for some backup.
(GRUNTS) (EXCLAIMS) (ROARING) BUTCHER: Please.
Please, don't hurt me! (PLEADING IN ITALIAN) (DOOR OPENS) David? No.
Your Your David, he didn't get in until just before sunup.
He isn't my David.
Yeah, well, he knocked over the plant your mom likes.
You know, the one on the back stairs.
And he was drunk or something.
Juiced up on something crazy, his shirt torn off.
He looked Why don't you give it up, honey? He's not what you think he is Maybe.
But he isn't what you think he is, either.
He's special.
I'm special, too.
He said so.
He called me Laura.
He cares about me.
I don't want to hear that kind of stuff.
I don't want your mother to hear that kind of stuff.
It's crazy.
Now God knows what his background is or where he came from.
And I don't wanna hear you talking about him like Like what? Like I love him? Baby, he's twice your age.
(SCOFFS) I am not your baby.
In case you hadn't noticed, I grew up while you were gone.
MAN ON RADIO: And so I look up, and this thing, this, like, monster, you know, it comes charging into the club, real big and vicious, you know? It threw this one guy all the way across the room.
Oh, it was unreal.
Totally unreal.
WOMAN ON RADIO: The first thing I saw, it just ran in and started wrecking everything, like it wanted to kill us all.
It was horrible.
I mean, I was terrified.
REPORTER ON RADIO: There you have it.
Whatever "it" was, the damage to The Swingtime club is extensive.
And so far, the casualty rate from the brawl stands at 12 injured, three seriously Last night's spontaneous takeover by my right-side personality is clearly indicative of Enzyme-7's phenomenal growth rate.
My attempt to procure Prolixin and other chemo derivatives needed to win this fight and curb aggression must be made this afternoon, Saturday.
I can only hope that my resistance to the other is strong enough to keep it from gaining control again.
Difficult to maintain objective viewpoint.
Perspective distorted.
Constant strain to hold on.
(DOORBELL RINGING) Hi, Mrs.
Schulte.
Is Laurie around? Laurie? Well, yes, Jimmy, she is, but I Jimmy! Jimmy, how's it going? I'm glad you could drop by.
Come on in.
Come on.
Laurie, you've got a visitor.
She'll be right here, Jim.
He's had a crush on her for years.
You called him.
(WHISPERING) I thought it would be a good idea.
(WHISPERING) A good idea? It is the worst thing you could've done.
Well, maybe.
But it's done.
Ellen, would you get us something cold to drink, please? Laurie.
Look who stopped by.
Hey.
Hi, Laurie.
David, where are you going? I thought I'd go out and take a walk.
Can I go with you? I'd like to go with you.
Uh, no.
I'd rather be by myself.
Laurie, he said he'd rather go alone.
Keep your hands off of her! What did you say to me? I'm sorry.
Sorry? This is my house! My family, my daughter! And I want you to get out of here by tomorrow.
Do you hear me? Out! Yes.
I hear you.
I'll get out of here.
Jimmy, look, this is not your problem.
I know my daughter.
She wants to go out with you.
She told me.
Now, you show up here later on and you've got yourself a date, huh? My blessing.
I'm not going out with him.
You'll do what I say as long as you live in my house! Your house? We've spent more time in this house alone without you than you've ever spent! Tell him, Mom! (DOOR CLOSES) No, David.
(LAUGHS MANIACALLY) No.
No antidote.
No antidote.
(LAUGHING MANIACALLY) She didn't come down to get something to eat, huh? That's why I went out to the garage.
I figured Well, maybe if I wasn't around she'd come down and Laurie doesn't take after me.
She's much stronger than you think she is.
(CHUCKLES) That's my first ship.
What a rusty old bucket that was.
It was a great crew, though.
Ellie, come here.
Come here and look at this.
Look at this guy right here.
You remember Tom Piper.
And then there's the guy next to him.
The one with the hat Look, Mike! I've seen those pictures before! Every time you try to convince yourself to get another ship, another berth, a new bunch of friends I said I'm gonna stay.
I told you that.
I know you.
And I love you.
But Laurie's frightening you again.
(STAMMERING) This place, the responsibility Why? Why would Laurie frighten me? Why? Because she won't let you off the hook.
Because she's not gonna forgive and forget.
She's not like me.
Laura? Laura.
I'm leaving.
Right now.
Come with me.
Hmm? (WHISPERS) Laura.
Come with me, Laura.
Laura.
Laura? Laura.
Hurry up and pack.
All right.
I'll wait.
I want my cake and I wanna eat it, too.
Is that what you're saying? You had your ships, your buddies, your adventures in strange places.
The money you sent home every month took care of your family.
You knew we'd always be there waiting for you.
That was true when it came to me.
Laurie's different.
I know.
She's special.
A special person.
(SIGHING) Come here.
(DAVID LAUGHING) Laurie, what are you doing? She's leaving with me.
Laurie, you were right.
I was stupid and selfish.
That's perfect.
Absolutely perfect, isn't it? He's absolutely right.
You were stupid and selfish.
You hit it right on the button.
No, Laurie.
MIKE: She's not going with you.
(SCREAMING) Mike! You're just a boy, Schulte.
You don't know what bad really is.
You're just a little kid in a big man's body.
But she needs more than that.
She needs commitment.
That is it, isn't it, darling? Yes, of course it is.
She needs adult commitment.
And that is exactly what I intend to give her.
Complete commitment.
Okay, buddy boy, take a hike, huh? Hey, you son of Try it! Just try something! Go ahead! Okay.
No, Mike! No, you can't.
Don't do that.
Call the police.
Mike, please! Hey, don't take my car! (LAUGHING MANIACALLY) (TIRES SCREECHING) (LAUGHING MANIACALLY) ELLEN: Mike! Jimmy, call the police! Mike, please don't do this! Call the police! David, slow down, please! David, what's wrong? No, David.
No.
No.
David! (GRUNTING) (CRYING) David! Where are you? Please, someone! LAURIE: Help me! (TIRES SCREECHING) MIKE: Laurie! David! (ALL SHOUTING) Baby! (LAURIE SCREAMING) Daddy! Where's the latch on this? I don't know! It's on the side! It's right over there! MIKE: Laura! (ALL SCREAMING) (SCREAMING) It's going! (GRUNTING) (GRUNTING) Laurie! No! No! (ALL SCREAMING) No! (ROARS) (SCREAMING) David! I can't I MIKE: You can do it! Come on! (LAURIE SCREAMING) (ROARING) (GASPING) Get back.
(GRUNTS) (CRYING) I'll see you tomorrow, okay? Okay.
Great.
How'd your evening go? Fine.
Why are you burning these things, Dad? Same reason you went out with Jimmy, I guess.
Family life's not so bad.
It has its good points.
Yeah, life.
Going to sea was something I did just to feel free, alive.
David, the way I felt about him, it was the same thing.
Well, I I know now.
There was something in him, Dad.
And I can't forget how much it hurt him.
I can't forget any of it.
I don't want you to forget.
I don't want either one of us to ever forget.
