- Susan Storm: HERBIE are you in there? Come on Herbie, come back! It's... uh just not a mainframe without you.
- H.E.R.B.I.E: No. This is perfect. Here I can do tasks suitable for a machine of my simplicity.
- [Gasps]
- H.E.R.B.I.E: Do you need any numbers added or subtracted? Oh wait! I may not be *advanced* enough for subtracting!
- Susan Storm: Ugh! Reed, will you say something to him? I can't believe that HERBIE doesn't think. I mean, he's neurotic! Doesn't that count as human intelligence?
- Reed Richards: Nope.
- Reed Richards: My fault Susan. I was so eager to study a machine, I neglected the safety of my friends. My family.
- Susan Storm: [sighs] You shouldn't blame yourself Reed. Blame Ben and Johnny. I'm sure he deserves it for something.
- Susan Storm: [to Doctor Doom who has trapped Susan and Reed] Ben and Johnny will surprise you, you'll see!
- [Turns to Reed]
- Susan Storm: We're never getting out of here are we?
- Ben Grimm: C'mon! We gotta go back for Bruiser!
- Reed Richards: I'm sorry Ben, but there's just no way he could have survived. Bruiser is gone.
- Bruiser: [Voice from inside Reed's PDA] Says who?
- Ben Grimm: [Takes PDA from Reed] Bruiser? Bruiser!
- [sigh of relief]
- Ben Grimm: You're OK!
- Johnny Storm: Then, who just exploded?
- Reed Richards: Those electrical arcs! Bruiser must have transferred his programming to my PDA.
- Susan Storm: What? Like HERBIE did?
- H.E.R.B.I.E: That's right! So that means I'm smarter! Right?
- Reed Richards: Uh... sure HERBIE. Of course you are!
