01x12 - The Boy Who Saw Tomorrow

[bunniefuu]

Do you believe in fortune tellers and

people who can predict the future?This is

Stan Lee, telling you that Bruce Banner

didn't believe, but he may feel different

now, ever since the Hulk's supernatural

adventure with The Boy Who Saw

Tomorrow. Easy.

Easy. Not too fast.

What was that?The Gantry! It's

Bobcay!

Jeff, look

out! Are you okay, Jeff?Oh,

shoulder hurts, but it's better than

being an ex-chief project engineer. There

they are. You're all right.

Just. This is my nephew,

Jonah. Oh, the boy who can predict the

future, huhSure wish you'd been able to

see this crash coming. He did, about 20

minutes ago. Why do you think we were

both running here?Better have

this shoulder looked at. Thanks again,

Bruce. I owe you one.

Jonah was just moving in when he said he

saw something. The gantry crashing. It's

like a dream, wide awake. Most times I

don't concentrate or... It just...

Jonah. You're seeing something right now,

is that it?Yes, uh, a plane

in trouble. Mayday! Mayday! I'm ejecting!

The plane is supposed to destroy itself

in the air, but it won't. The

destruct mechanism isn't working,

General. The plane's going to crash on

the base.

Gigantic expl*si*n, like a w*r!

b*ll*ts, rockets, bombs.

He's headed for the ammunition dump.

Quick!

Get inside, fast!

What's going on?It's like a

w*r out there. Do you know what's going

on?I think there's been an accident. Oh,

there. Rita, where's Rick?Oh, he was

right behind

me. Rick!If

one of those live wires hits him, he's

finished. I've got to get him out.

Hulk, I'm hurt!

Hulk help!

Set up emergency units on every floor, on

the double.

You fix, now!All right, sure,

we'll try. If the hospital doesn't get

blown up first.

Oh, put on fires! Stop

bombs! You help him!

You got a deal.

We've lost water pressure!

Look! There's the reason for thisdisaster!

If the Hulk comes out of that inferno,

nail him!

There he is! Get

him!He put out the whole building! Now

doctors help Rick! It's

just a couple of broken ribs. I'll be out

of here tomorrow. Uh,

where's Rita?She'll be by later. She's

with Betty's nephew, Jonah. Oh.

Babysitting?Well, not exactly.

In your future, I see a boy with

dark eyes, and his name is Jonah.

I think you're only seeing what you want

to see. We'll be ready for you in a

second, Jonah. I have to visit Rick. See

you at the diner later, Jonah. Now, you

just made a prediction that's going to

come true for sure.

Oops. Am I in time for the demonstration?

Just. My father and Major Talbot are

waiting in there.

Now, Jonah, just relax as you

did yesterday and try to tell us

what you see.

No! Uh No

No

Jonah! What the?Just a lot of

theatrical bourgeois.

come back!

All right, what is it?What did you see,

Joe?There's no one here but us. Now tell

me, please. Don't hold it in. It's

Betty. She's going up in a rocket ship. A

space shuttle. I see it.

Number 99. The date is...

August 2nd. There's a funny-looking,

loud-mouthed, awful man with a checkered

jacket, a bright red tie. He's bald.

Beware of him. He... He hurts you.

Bucket 99 is launched. Betty Ross

is the pilot, but someone else is on

board. The Hulk! He breaks

loose!

He's violent. He grips the controls

apart! Betty's unconscious! Knocked out!

The rocket falls! Down, down!

It crashes against the side of a

mountain! The Hulk

destroys the shuttle and itself! And

Betty...!

Is it true?Can Jonah see the

future?He has just predicted that

Betty Ross would be aboard Space Shuttle

#99. as its only

pilot on August the 2nd.

Jonah also warned Bruce to beware of a

strange, comic-looking man in tacky

clothes. The man is evil and will

harm the helpless bound. First of all,

beware the Hulk. The creature will

destroy the rocket with himself and

Betty Ross aboard. I suppose Betty told

you she was being considered as a pilot

for a science space shuttle mission. No,

she never mentioned it. Well, then how

did youNever mind, Jonah. You were right

not to tell her what you saw. No sense

worrying her. I know. But Dr. Banner,

these visions of mine, my predictions

have been very accurate a lot of times.

And I'm scared. I can

understand that, Jonah, but there's no

scientific proof anyone has ever been

able to see into the future. Coincidence

is usually the answer. So try to relax

and we'll keep all of this just between

us. OK. OK

So there you are. Everything OK?Sure.

Uh, Jonah just got overexcited, that's

all. Oh, I can understand that. Bruce,

I just got the greatest news in the

world. I got the job.

NASA named me as the pilot of the next

science space shuttle. My price to

destroy the space shuttle experiment is

two and a half million. Now you take it

or leave it. Good. Good

Never mind how I plan to get onto the

base. That's myThis is

Waldo, signing off. And

my secret is named...

Chief Project Engineer Jeff Kessler.

Funny-looking bald-headed guy in loud

clothes, huhWatch for him, okay?What

about you?The day before the launch, I'm

flying out of here. I don't want the Hulk

within 1000 miles of Betty's flight. Come

on, Doc. Nothing's gonna happen. Jonah

didn't even have the right date. She goes

in September, not August. But he's been

right before. Good

news, Dr. Banner. You're not going to

miss my blastoff after all. The launch

date's been moved on. up six weeks. And

I've made Daddy promise you won't get any

more travel orders till after my flight.

Well, that's, uh, great, Betty. What's

the new date?Blastoff's at eight in the

morning on August 2nd.

August the 2nd. See you

tomorrow, Mr. Kessler.

You sure will. Hi, Mr. Kessler.

Wally Waldo, Space News Service. Need

some footage for you to go with the big

launch story. Mind?No, go ahead.

You won't feel a thing.

Just follow me, Mr. Kessler.

Forgot something. Oh, right ahead, Mr.

Kessler. At least

the number's not old 99. Jonah's got

something wrong. Hey,

Jeff. I thought I saw you leave. Came

back to check something. Well, how's the

shoulder?HuhFrom the gantry accident last

week. Oh, uh, never better.

Jeff, it was your other's shoulder. What

the heck is going on?You're not Jeff

Kessler.

Walk off the edge into the blast pad, Dr.

Banner. When

he wakes up, he won't remember a thing.

ohh Stand by to test engines 1-3 and

five. Advise when ready. As the

mighty rocket engines are about to be

tested, no one realizes that Bruce

Banner is helplessly trapped beneath the

giant tailpipes. Standing by to test

engines one, three and five. Banner is

facing total destruction by the girl who

loves him most.

No!

Are we burned to a crisp?I've got to get

help! Help Help All readings are

green for go. Ready to test engines one,

three, and five. Help!

Help

Banner's screams go unheard.

Drowned out by the rocket's roar, Kirk

fills his heart, fires his blood,

turning him into the Incredible Hulk.

All right, Betty. Go to half power.

Roger, half power.

Emergency. The tail section's blocked.

Eject the pilot pod.

Oh, go! The

hook! No. I didn't know the hook showed

up. The point is, the experiment's been

stopped. What?They've got a replacement

shuttle?And I'll take care of that one,

too. Waldo out.

Stop belly aching, Kessler. My homemade

b*mb will only effect a carbon

experiment. I wouldn't dream of hurting

our lady astronaut for a measly two and a

half million.

Well, there's the replacement shuttle.

She's not the newest ship in the fleet,

but she's all mine. Old 99.

The launch, the training continues like

some ghastly date with doom. A

date that can't be broken.

Eject! Eject! Look, Bruce, we've been

over this ejection procedure 20 times

tonight. What's wrong with you?Once more,

Betty. Please. Okay.

Predicting the future's a lot of garbage.

I want to pay my bill and get out of

here. Coming!

It's him. The loud-mouthed guy in the

checkered coat.

Come back and see us. Dr. Banner!

Dr. Banner! We saw the man I

warned about. The man in the checkered

cove. But Jonah, you don't understand. I

have to make this plane. I can't be

around for the launch.

No, I'm a scientist. I can't give in to

superstition. Nobody can predict the

future. Not even

Jonah. Come on, let's find

Rick.

The giant is T-minus 30 and

counting. 30 minutes to launch.

Dr. Banner, that press van, that's what

the guy in the checkered suit drove.

Jeff, what were you just doing?You

again. Wait a minute. I remember.

Two minutes to launch.

You kids looking for something?Yes. Dr.

Bruce Banner, have you seen him?No, I...

There you are, Kessler. Come on,

I want you in the control room. Well,

I... of course, General.

Ten, nine, eight,

seven, six...

Five, four, three,

two, one,

zero.

Lift off. It's done. And

now there can be no turning back.

But slowly, fearfully, the

unsuspected extra passenger

awakens. Trapped and terrified,

he realizes the prediction of doom is

coming true. Mounting

panic and burning fear activate his

body's GABA cells once more, but still

at last...

oxygen lights read red. What the?

Activate emergency one immediately.

All lights red!

The final disaster! The Hulk's

shattering onslaught unleashes the

gas. Waldo's b*mb

explodes too soon!

the potent chemical mist oozes through

the hatch, enveloping the helpless Betty

Ross.

Ohh Having that lives can overcome the

Hulk.

But not even his mighty lungs can

withstand the billowing gas.

But there's one event Jonah couldn't

foresee. The Hulk is more than

just one man. Asleep,

the green Goliath once again

becomes Bruce Banner.

Eject! Must eject!

Dead! Ned, what what happened?

Yes, Betty, what did happen?

He is the one who knows it all.

Where's the real Kessler?Where's Rick?

Come on, where are they?Where are they?

All right, I'll tell! I'll tell!Waldo

told everything. The spies who hired him

were already in custody. Jonah, the Hulk

did cause the crash, but Bruce trained me

so well, I guess I was able to eject in

my sleep. When Waldo found out, I knew he

wasn't you, Jeff. He knocked me into the

canister, but I escaped and followed him.

Bruce, how did you show up where I landed?

The Hulk must have jumped free of the

shuttle. He just appeared out of the sky

near me, and then he took me to you and

left. I'm very glad my prediction didn't

come true, but I'm

getting. Another vision, one that I

know will, for sure. What is it, Jonah?

None of us at this table will want

anything more to eat, at least until

breakfast tomorrow.

Wrong again, Jonah.

Thanks to his incredible secret identity,

Bruce Banner survived the terrifying

prediction.
