Fantastic Four Page #4

Synopsis: Reed Richards, a brilliant but timid and bankrupt scientist, is convinced that evolution can be triggered by clouds of cosmic energy, and has calculated that Earth is going to pass one of these clouds soon. Together with his friend and partner, the gruff yet gentle astronaut muscle-man Ben Grimm, Reed convinces his conceited MIT classmate Dr. Victor Von Doom, now CEO of his own enterprise, to allow him access to his privately-owned space station. Von Doom agrees in exchange for control over the experiment and a majority of the profits from whatever benefits it brings. He thus brings aboard Susan Storm, his shy, though assertive chief genetics researcher and a former lover of Reed's with whom she had an acrimonious break-up, and her diametrically opposed brother Johnny, the maverick and hot-headed playboy pilot. The astronauts make it home intact; however, before long they begin to mutate, developing strange and amazing powers as a result of their exposure to the cloud! Reed is able to

- You are trouble.

Mmm "Trouble"is my middle name

- Oh, you're hot.

- Why, thank you. So are you.

- And I'm not afraid to cry.

- No, I mean you feel a little feverish.

I've never felt better in my life.

My God, you smell good.

- When do you get off work?

- 4:
00, but l-

Tell you what. You meet me at 4:01

at the top of the mountain.

That'll give you

a minute to freshen up.

This is yours. That's mine.

[ Whispers ]

Nurses!

[ Monitor Beeping ]

How long was I out?

Hey. Three days.

I was worried about you.

How are you feeling?

Solid.

Uh, it was a close one, though, huh?

What was that about?

I don't know.

I really don't know.

I've been going over the figures again and again,

and they all add up.

I just don't understand.

Maybe I should've aborted-

Reed, it was a freak of nature.

You couldn't have possibly predicted it.

- Let it go.

- [ Exhales ]

You know, you live through

something like this...

it really makes you appreciate

having the right woman in your life

- Yeah, you and Debbie are perfect.

- I'm not talking about Debbie.

What? Come on.

She's got a good thing with Victor.

- He's smart, he's powerful, he's successful-

- Maybe you should date him then.

Ben, she ended up

with the right guy.

Things worked out for the best.

Do I have to do everything myself?

##[ Rock ]

##[ Man Singing ]

You should stay to the right.

The left might give you trouble.

- I think we should drop, like, 10 more feet.

- Good.

Last one down

springs for room service!

Whoo-hoo!

##[ Continues ]

My future wife!

Whoo-hoo!

Whoo!

You're losing!

All right, no more kid stuff.

Check this out!

##[ Continues ]

- You're on fire!

- Thanks! You're pretty good too!

No! You're on fire! Look!

##[ Continues ]

- Whoa!

- Whoa!

[ Grunting ]

[ Screams ]

[ Screaming Continues ]

Whoa-ohh!

Care to join me?

I can only stay for one drink.

I have to meet Victor.

Oh. Wouldn't want

to keep Vic waiting.

Reed, what are you doing here?

I thought-

Great!

Uh, maybe you can join us

- How's the IPO now?

- It's fallen.

We're looking at low 20s.

It's a good number, considering the fallout from-

From Reed's disaster?

Get me on the am shows,

Larry King, cover of the Journal.

Gonna have to do something

about this scar.

Make sure they only shoot me

from my left side.

Actually, uh, the scar's tracking well.

People seem to think

it humanizes you.

[ Chuckles ]

And that's a good thing?

[ Gasps, Sighs ]

Maybe you should get some rest.

Later.

First I have some unfinished business.

A deal that needs closing.

Sir, I have always wondered-

Why Sue?

You could have any other woman

in the world
