Steve Levitt: Donald Blake

The Incredible Hulk Returns

Donald Blake

Doctor David Banner: What happened last night wasn't Thor's fault, it was yours and yours alone!
Donald Blake: David, you're not being fair to me.
Doctor David Banner: For two years now, *two years* this change of mine hasn't occurred, and do you know why? Because I've stayed away from people like you. People who start trouble and then run away. Well, you're not running away this time, Don, this time you're going to help wipe up the milk that you spilled! Do you understand?

Donald Blake: You are David Banner, aren't you? If you're not, I'll just apologize profusely and get out of here. I just couldn't let you zap yourself with that thing until I was sure.
Doctor David Banner: Who are you?
Donald Blake: You had a beard the last time I knew you. Harvard, ten years ago? You were the guest genius at the time, the resident Merlin and me, I was... I was in trouble a lot.
Doctor David Banner: Blake? Donald Blake?
Donald Blake: The one and only.

Donald Blake: Wait a minute, David. This thing can cure you, and you're going to fry it? David! Come on, let's do the experiment.
Doctor David Banner: The repair work to the computer is incomplete, there's just not enough time. So... for me, it's back to square one.
[Donald watches sadly as David puts the Trasnponder controls into the microwave, he turns it on and watches the controls slowly melt and catch fire]

Donald Blake: David, it's okay...
[David opens his eyes and he looks at Thor]
Doctor David Banner: Go away. Leave me alone, please. You just don't understand. You don't know what could happen, *please.*
[Thor starts lightly pushing David back, slowly pushing him him into the main control area]
Thor: Go away, eh?
Donald Blake: Don't push him!
Thor: Leave you be, eh?
Donald Blake: Stop it!
Thor: Sounds more like insult than hospitality!
Donald Blake: What're you doing, you jerk?
Thor: An insult is something I can always understand!
Donald Blake: Don't push him!
[Thor grabs David by the collar and he is struggling to keep calm]
Doctor David Banner: Don't make me angry.
Thor: He's braver than I thought, Blake!
Donald Blake: Stop it, damn it!
[Thor swats David away as he faces Blake]
Thor: Leave me...
[after David collides onto a control unit and screams while he is electrocuted, Thor rushes over to pull David away and then he throws David to the floor]
Thor: [Blake goes to David and rolls him onto his back, but Blake backs away when he sees David's pupils are white and he is about to start changing into the Hulk]
Thor: Odin's beard.
Donald Blake: Good God.

Donald Blake: Look, David, I don't want to know why you're not using your real name or why you want people to think you're dead, and I don't care. Well, that's not true really. I'm curious as hell, but I'm not going to ask or try to find out. That's your business and it's going to stay that way.

Donald Blake: [narrating] Then there was a tall, hand-carved stone covered with Viking writing, old ruins. And though I wasn't supposed to read them, I could. "You have pierced the heart of Odin," they said. "Turn and go away or go forward and be eaten by your fate." Very encouraging, right? The perfect reverse psychology. I went forward.

Doctor David Banner: [after Thor leaves the main lab] Well, at least your Mr. Hyde can be reasonable. Even likable.
Donald Blake: Yeah, he's okay. Sometimes.

Doctor David Banner: [storming around] After the attempt at the Institute, I should've known what they'd try next. I should have known. What happened to Maggie is my fault.
Donald Blake: David, stop beating on yourself, okay? Otherwise your big green friend will return and everything will go to hell.

[Fouche drives a car and tries to run Thor down]
Donald Blake: Watch out for the - the car!
[Thor sees a car driving right at him and he smiles. Thor then throws his hammer Mjolnir at the car]
Thor: ODIN!

Donald Blake: I guess we could all learn something from the big goof.
Doctor David Banner: You sound like a man who's made peace with himself and his new partner.
Donald Blake: Yeah. Thor and I are a part of each other.

Donald Blake: Listen, David, I know you didn't tell her, but... I think she knows, and understands.

Donald Blake: Well, I'd better get going before Maggie gets back. I really hate big good byes with people I like. So I'm going to collect Mister Big and hit the road.
[Blake and Banner watch Thor happily jogging alongside a woman]
Doctor David Banner: She's very attractive. He won't like that.
Donald Blake: So what else is new?
[Blake walks down the steps to get Thor]
Doctor David Banner: Good luck!

Donald Blake: [pondering Thor's requests] Food, drink, women, and the company of men like yourself... I think I know just the place.
