01x09 - Of Moles and Men

[bunniefuu]

Hey, gamma fans.

You know, not everyone in the world thinks the Hulk is a monster.

There is one place where he always gets the love, Vista Verde.

And so, citizens, it is with ponderous pride and astronomical appetites that we celebrate the grand re-opening of a Vista Verde institution.

Thank you, Mayor Stan.

Before you cut the green ribbon would you like to say anything, Hulk? Uh Nope.

What I tell you? People here dig the Hulk, 'cause, well, it's where he became the big green guy.

Let's just say he's king around here.

Souvenirs! Get your Hulk souvenirs! Uh Oh, good gracious.

M-may-may I help you, sir? How come all the merch you got is green? I'm a Hulk too, you know.

I'm handsomer, smarter, and stronger than jade jaws and I don't even rate a lousy t-shirt? Ready when you are, boys.

What are you Hulks having? We'll start with five gutbomb specials as an appetizer, please.

Mmm.

Yellow.

And more mustard.

- We got company.

- Hey, kid, what you got there? My gammy bear.

Mia made it herself.

She just loves the Hulks, especially you.

Uh, huh, yeah.

What's that? Sounds like something big.

Let's check it out.

Now, that is a big bug.

A-b*mb, take the bus.

Everybody else, arm up.

I'm on it! All part of the tour, folks.

Souvenir photos available after the ride.

Hold on, Devil.

Eat this, fish-bait! Gammy! Mia, no! I got you.

Hulk.

S01E09 - Of Moles and Men My baby! - Mommy! - Mia, are you okay? Skaar slash! How do you like me now? Hey, ugly! Ow.

Get out of my town! I'll get you out of there, Devil, hold on.

Oh-h*-h*! Nice finishing move, big guy.

The Hulk hurl.

Which has nothing to do with throwing up.

Oh, speaking of spewing bile, where's Red? Aw, my baby! You're welcome, Vista Verde! Gammy.

Should've been able to stop it sooner.

Don't worry, Hulk.

We'll rebuild, just like we always do.

Gonna go make sure our wormy friend is finished, alone.

Fine, be anti-social.

You know he gets this way sometimes.

Let me talk to him.

Okay.

Red, Skaar, let's get this mess cleaned up.

Skaar, come on.

Come on, let's go.

And freeze.

Did you see it? Zoom in.

All right, who is that little creep? And was he controlling that beast? Now, where did you come from? Huh? So, you want to talk about what's really eating you? We're best buds, you can tell me.

And you know I won't stop until you spill.

Fine.

I feel guilty about Vista Verde getting wrecked all the time, - like it's my fault.

- Dude, you're talking crazy.

If it weren't for you, Vista Verde would be worm food.

- They love you.

- I don't know.

Seems like I'm a magnet for bad stuff.

You know what the early settlers called Vista Verde? Valle Diablo.

It's not you, the land has always been, like, cursed.

Then I'm part of it.

Sometimes I wonder if they'd be better off if I just, well Disappeared! Rick, you okay? Ugh.

I think so.

Where are you? I can't see a thing.

Next time, be careful what you wish for.

I don't like disappearing.

Ahh! S-Something's crawling on me.

- They're everywhere! They got me! - Stay calm.

Hulk, why aren't we just smashing these little dudes off of us? They're not attacking, Rick.

They're taking us somewhere.

I think they want to show us something.

Umph, how about they show us the way out? Hmm.

We're not their first visitors.

Whoa! Great green one, you save surface world many times.

Now, you defeat larva-beast, who is scourge of Subterranea.

Our gods of water, stone, and fire judge you worthy.

All hail King Hulk! All hail King Hulk! All hail King Hulk! These mole men want to make us their kings.

Awesome! Thanks, but I'm really not the royal type.

The larva-beast tormented our city.

Destroyed our crops.

Devoured our people.

We prayed for a champion, and the gods sent you to us.

Just go with it, for the children.

I mean, look at those faces.

All hail King Hulk! All hail King Hulk! And now, we feast.

Rock on, I'm starving.

I'm not gonna No, I'm not gonna eat that.

Ugh.

You're so gross.

You're gross.

Yeah, well, it's time to go home.

- Go on without me.

- Uh, what do you mean? It's good to be the king.

I'm staying.

Yeah, you're staying in Cavesville.

Real funny, dude.

Come on, let's go.

No, Rick.

If another worm comes, the moloids will be lunch.

They're small, helpless.

They need me.

Well, so does the surface world.

What about Jen and Skaar? Even Red! The Agents of S.

M.

A.

S.

H.

need you, too.

Look, I'll miss you guys, but you'll handle things up top without me.

Down here, I won't cause problems for up there.

And I'll stop underground monsters from ever reaching the surface.

Well, before you make up your mind, let me show you something.

Check this out, that's you fighting monsters for the little dudes.

They just want to use you as their personal guard dog.

A child's doodle.

Hulk, buddy, I don't want to lose my best friend.

Rick, it's better this way, for the moloids and Vista Verde.

And you too, right? So long, pal, take care of yourself.

Something you're not telling me about these paintings? Ah, stories to frighten young ones.

Stories, huh? Hmm You tricky little moloids.

Will brave champion protect us? It's not like I have a choice.

A little to the left.

A little more.

No, no, no, too far.

Back to the right.

Stop! That's it.

Hey, Red, are you planning to do anything to help out? I am doing something, Jenny, supervising.

Skaar miss friends.

Hulk and A-b*mb have been gone for a long time.

Hope they're okay.

What do you wanna do, organize a search party? Come on, I'm sure they're fine, plus, you got me calling the shots now.

Hmm.

I think I'll get the jet.

Ugh.

Oh, great.

Of course there's more than one.

Yeah, should've gone with Rick.

Wakey, wakey, eggs and bakey.

Who are you? To the surface world I'm known as Mole Man.

And to my subjects, I am king of the moloids.

The moloids? They just made me their king.

You? They must really be scraping the bottom of the barrel.

Heard about you.

Got into trouble with the Fantastic Four.

A minor misunderstanding, blown out of proportion by a libelous newspaper mogul.

Sounds familiar.

I was ridiculed for my theories on the hollow earth.

But, I found my way down here to Subterranea.

And for my courage and scientific acumen, the moloids crowned me their king.

How were you tested? I defeated one of those beasts when it invaded the surface.

Lured there, no doubt, by the moloids, to see if you were champion material.

They are devious little boogers.

Yeah.

Of course, being king tends to be a short job, what with having to constantly battle awful monsters.

Okay, what are you doing? Escaping.

Being used makes me angry! No, wait! Really, this is escaping? I'm impressed, you emerald buffoon! Oh, dear.

Out of the frying pan and into the fire.

You realize what will happen should these beasts reach Subterranea or the surface world? Yeah, bad day for everybody.

Rick! Come on, Hulk, you know I'd never ditch you.

It just took me a while to catch up.

Whoa! Touche! Parry! Riposte! You are mine! I'm digging your new little pal, he's like the shrimp who would be king.

Mole Man, the pods were put here for the warmth.

What's the source? Incubation of course! There must be a lava tube under the floor.

Get clear, I'm turning up the heat.

Hulk, we got big worms up here.

Not bad, jade giant, not bad.

- Of course, there's still the queen.

- Queen? Where do you think all the creepy crawlies came from? Uh giant bug eye.

Hey, Skaar, are you sure this is the spot? Skaar's nose never wrong.

So, Rick and Hulk fell down a well.

Yeah, guess we got to rescue them.

If that worm was any indication of what we could be up against down there, the general's going in fully prepared.

Did you bring a rope, smart guy? Of course I did.

You babies'd need some way to find your way out somehow.

Huh? I don't think we're gonna need that rope.

It's heading for town.

We have to stop it! And we're back in business.

Excelsior! No, Mayor Stan! Whoa! That was incredible, Hulk.

Oh, seriously, this thing spews acid, too? Yeah.

Huh - Plug it up, Jen! - On it.

I'll fly this sucker right down its throat.

Coming around to bring the pain.

One more time! I'm hit.

I gotta ditch the jet, now.

Need more firepower.

Meet my all-new gamma-ka-bamma grenade launcher.

Hey! Be gentle, that's my new baby! Thanks.

Down the hatch, your highness! That creature is unstoppable.

The surface dwellers saved our city.

Now, we must do the same! Attack! The heck are these runts? Oh, they're on our side, I think.

Just in time.

Moloids, forward! Whoo! Go, little dudes! Your shrimpy friends' tricks ain't gonna stop that thing.

What we need is a really big shoe.

Mmm, yeah.

Or, we use something else.

So let's start by kicking the big bug out of town.

Follow my lead.

Are you digging our bling, queen nasty? Way to go, Hulk.

We've got her on the run.

Now what, smart guy? We get your really big shoe and squash it.

All right, Hulks, let's go.

On three.

One, two, three! Yeah, getting splattered with bug goo kind of comes with the job.

Got to admit, I never expected you to help us like that.

Thanks.

For our king, we do anything.

Not so fast, half pint.

Vista Verde needs our hammering Hulk.

Yeah.

Without you, this place would've been smashed years ago.

True believers, we're proud to have our not-so-jolly green giant.

Yeah, but that monster never would've come up here if I hadn't smashed that lava tube.

Don't go, Mr.

Hulk.

Don't worry, squirt.

Like I said before, I'm not the royal type.

But I do know a hero even bigger than I am.

Well, this is quite unexpected.

Hulk, you have my gratitude.

All hail, King Mole Man! - All hail, King Mole Man! - Ah, great! Can we finish our lunch, now? Cash or charge, sweetie? Herb, do we have change for a diamond? All right, finally! From now on, Hulks always eat for free at Gamma Burgers.

What about dinosaurs? Uh, seriously? Really? Not bad, bro.

You saved two cities today.

And still managed to find my way home to my family.

Hulk out.

Do not be scared, Mr.

kipling.

It is only a movie.

A very realistic movie! This 3-d is amazing! I feel as though I can reach out and touch it!
