The Incredible Hulk (1978) s04e10 Episode Script
Wax Museum
Your face will have a place of honor in the museum.
(ROARS) Leigh? Leigh's father.
She lives in such guilt over that fire.
Is she still under a doctor's care? You've seen him, Miss Gamble.
I saw a man turn into this creature.
(ROARS) (ROARS) NARRATOR: Dr.
David Banner, physician, scientist.
Searching for a way to tap into the hidden strengths that all humans have.
Then, an accidental overdose of gamma radiation alters his body chemistry.
And now, when David Banner grows angry or outraged, a startling metamorphosis occurs.
(ROARS) The creature is driven by rage and pursued by an investigative reporter.
Mr.
McGee, don't make me angry.
You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.
The creature is wanted for a murder he didn't commit.
David Banner is believed to be dead.
And he must let the world think that he is dead until he can find a way to control the raging spirit that dwells within him.
(ROARS) WALTER: You can see the damage from the fire is quite extensive.
The refurbishing is a big job, but if we don't reopen soon, we're not going to be able to make the bank payments, which brings me back to money, always money.
I'm sorry, David, but we can't pay you very much.
A few bucks, room and board.
I need a job.
Well, you've got one.
You'll be working with my niece, Leigh.
She's made most of the figures you see around here.
Look, David, there's something I'd like to mention before we go in to meet Leigh.
Yes.
There have been a couple of other guys who've been here before you.
They just didn't work out.
Well, I realize that my work in wax isn't that extensive.
It doesn't matter.
I just want to I mean, you might want to take it a little easy with Leigh.
You see, she's been in and out of the hospital ever since the fire.
The last few months have been very difficult for her.
Well, burns can take a long time to heal.
It wasn't that kind of hospital.
I mean, she's okay, now.
She's really come a long way.
Well, I just thought I'd mention it.
WALTER: Leigh.
What happened? Nothing.
It just fell (STAMMERING) Nothing.
(CHUCKLING) Must have tripped on his toga.
What detail.
Oh, my niece is such a fine artist.
Oh, honey, meet David Beckwith, your new assistant.
(CHUCKLING) David.
Hello.
I hope you work well under pressure.
What kind of pressure? Well, we're opening in three and a half weeks, the bank willing.
A date we can't miss this time.
Uncle Walter, I'm working on it.
It'll be all right.
I know you are, honey.
And you're doing a great job.
And now, I've got to go and do a great job on the books, to keep the bank off our backs.
We're meeting with Kelleher at 3:00.
Make sure you bring your portfolio.
Oh, it's all ready.
Good.
Boy, I just can't get over it.
That Caesar looks so real.
Yes, it does.
Let me help, Leigh.
David! Yes? Nothing.
Are you all right? I'm fine.
I'm fine.
I just forgot to take my medicine.
I'll be fine.
All right.
It isn't exactly spacious, but this is where you'll sleep.
Oh, it's fine, just fine.
My father used to sleep here when he worked late.
Now that you're with us, I'll be able to work night and day.
I'm sure we'll make our deadline.
Well, your wish is my command.
Except for one thing.
What's that? You think he might be moved out of the room.
I I might have a little difficulty sleeping.
He just might attack me in the night.
(SIGHING) Sure.
You want me to help you with that? No, no.
It's okay.
I got it.
Oh, yeah.
Excuse me.
Yeah, yeah.
If you need anything else, just let me know.
I'll ask, yes.
KELLEHER: We've gone with you about as far as we can go on this matter, Mr.
Gamble.
I really don't see how the bank has any other alternative but to take title.
You can't do that! Don't worry, honey.
We're here to convince this gentleman otherwise.
Mr.
Kelleher, we'd appreciate it so very much if you'd please bear with us just a little longer.
We're opening again.
But you've already missed your first date.
I know, I misjudged.
But we won't miss this one, I promise you.
This museum was my brother's dream, his whole life.
The fire destroyed him, and nearly everything he'd worked for.
We can't bring him back, but we're doing everything we possibly can to keep his museum alive.
Please, Mr.
Gamble, the bank is sympathetic to your tragedy, but we are governed by rules and regulations.
An artist's lifetime of work shouldn't be affected by things like that.
Let me again suggest that you consider that offer from Consolidated Entertainment.
If you sell the museum, you'll be rid of your debt with us, and you stand to make a good profit besides.
No, Mr.
Kelleher, I can't give it up now.
I'm merely a trustee.
Whatever Leigh wants to do, I stand behind her all the way.
Look, Mr.
Kelleher, we can make this museum a viable operation.
Show him your sketches, honey.
They're really terrific.
Special displays, real promotional values, everything all laid out.
And we can have it open in time for the tourist season.
Just take a look.
(LEIGH EXCLAIMING) LEIGH: I I put it I put them in here.
What do you mean, Leigh? (EXCLAIMING) Oh, Leigh, I'm sorry.
(STUTTERING) And I'm sorry, honey.
We were in such a hurry to get here, I must have mixed everything all up.
They were there! It's all right.
It's my fault.
Mr.
Kelleher, perhaps we should continue this at another time.
I understand.
Thank you.
I'll call you.
I put them in there.
I really did.
I'm sure you did.
I picked up the wrong one.
Now, don't worry.
We're both a little nervous.
Leigh, why don't you go on home and get some rest? I'll see if I can get the books on our side.
No, I'd rather go back to work.
Leigh No, really, I want to.
It's the best kind of therapy for me.
I'll be fine.
I'm sorry.
Forget it.
Forget it.
Just take care of yourself.
And don't forget your medication.
And I don't want you skipping dinner again.
Don't treat me like a child! Please.
You're the only family I have.
How many of these would you like in the workroom? Well, how many did I tell you? You didn't.
That's why I asked.
I'm sorry, David, I didn't mean to snap at you.
It's just that I really blew it at the bank.
Uncle Walter's trying so hard to help, and all I seem to do is make things worse.
He's taking care of the business end, but the rest of it is all up to me.
Hey, relax.
I'm here, too.
We'll get it done, okay? LEIGH: If only he were here to help.
He was a genius.
Your father? Yeah.
(SIGHING) I don't know what my uncle told you, but the fire Well, it was my fault that he died.
He said it was an accident.
It was my fault.
(SIGHING) He's still in this room, his spirit, his influence.
I just couldn't save him.
I couldn't get through the fire.
LEIGH: Don't, Daddy.
Please.
Don't! Get out! Please! Daddy.
Leigh.
Leigh! (GASPING) I'm all right.
I'm okay.
I'm fine! (CAR HORN HONKING) David, I'd like to show you something.
I know I'm not the easiest person to work with, but I do appreciate all the help you've given me.
Please come.
You are about to come face-to-face with the new star of the museum.
In person? In wax.
Oh.
I've been working on it all night.
Now, come here.
Close your eyes.
Okay, open your eyes.
Just imagine, David, your face will have a place of honor in the museum, thousands of people coming in to see it.
Do you like it? LEIGH: Well, what do you think? It's uncanny.
You don't like it.
(STAMMERING) No, I didn't mean that.
It's unsettling.
Yeah, I know.
I Actually, you know, I don't fit in here.
I mean, I'm not a historical figure, just an ordinary guy.
No, you're not.
Besides, as the artist, it's my prerogative.
It's also my museum.
It's like looking into a mirror.
I keep expecting him to reach out and touch me.
Yeah, I know.
Hey, wait a minute.
I got an idea.
(STUTTERING) This may be an opportunity for me to fulfill my fantasy, to bring it to life.
Really? How? (LAUGHING THEATRICALLY) (LAUGHING) LEIGH: So, this is your fantasy.
(DAVID SPEAKING LIKE A PIRATE) Aye, I like it.
Pirate Davey Beckwith, scourge of the seven seas.
(GROWLING) My favorite hero.
It's a whole new you.
Oh, I've gotta go get ready.
My uncle promised to take me to the ballet.
It's my reward for working so hard.
It's been so long since I've done anything fun.
You enjoy yourself, and I will take care of the store.
Thank you.
Mmm-hmm.
David, are these the new figures Leigh's been working on? Yes, I believe so.
Martin? Leigh? David, uncover the other one.
My God! They're both the same man.
Leigh's father.
Pretty grim.
Guilt.
He was a perfectionist, and he demanded the same of her.
Nothing Leigh ever did was right.
She's She's still paying.
She lives in such guilt over that fire.
My God, she probably caused it, but it was an accident.
It kills me to see her like this.
I I swear I don't know what to do anymore.
Is she still under a doctor's care? Oh, I couldn't force her.
I thought some progress had been made.
I don't know, I Maybe the medication will help.
Uncle Walter, I'm ready.
Leigh, you look beautiful.
Are you going out? Well, of course.
With David? No.
Did you forget? Forget what, honey? We're going to the ballet.
Don't you remember? We made plans.
Of course.
How stupid of me.
With all this bank business, it must have slipped my mind.
I'm sorry, honey.
Wait right here, I'll be right back.
Well, you don't have to No, no, no.
I'll just get my things.
That's right, two tickets.
Oh, loge or orchestra, I don't give a damn.
LEIGH: Uncle Walter.
Thank you.
Cab's on its way.
No.
You don't have to go through this for me.
I've obviously made a mistake.
(GROANING) Don't worry.
Don't worry about it.
I'll get them for you.
Come on, sit down, sit down.
Okay.
(SNIFFLING) Look, we don't care who you are.
We just want people to know what they're taking.
Dangers, side effects, whatever.
Now, the decision's up to you.
Just give us a day or two, and in the meantime, don't take the drug.
You got me? I'd like to get this analyzed.
It's supposed to be a tranquilizer, but there's no pharmaceutical house ID on it.
What, is it street stuff? I don't know.
Okay, we'll check it out.
What are the numbers for? So when you call, we know it's the right person.
You heard the rap I gave to the chick? Oh, yeah.
Good.
Three hundred and eighty-seven times a day I say that little speech.
So, talk to you later, man.
Okay, thank you.
(SCULPTURES BREATHING HEAVILY) Stay back! Stay! No.
(SNIFFLING) (GASPING) (GROANING) David! David! David! DAVID: Leigh? (GROANING) Leigh, what's wrong? It's jammed.
No.
Leigh, please, don't! You'll burn yourself! Leigh, please don't! (GRUNTING) (DAVID SCREAMING) David! (SCREAMING) (EXCLAIMING) (HULK GRUNTING) (ROARS) (GRUNTS) (ROARS) (ROARS) (HULK GRUNTING) (GASPING) ELECTRONIC FEMALE VOICE: Now enter the amount you wish to withdraw.
(BEEPING) You have indicated $50.
Now simply punch in your private code number to complete your withdrawal.
Oh, my God.
No! Oh, my God! Oh! Now simply punch in your private code number to complete your withdrawal.
Now simply punch in your private code number to complete your withdrawal.
Now simply punch in your private code number to complete your withdrawal.
(GRUNTING) Now simply punch in your private code number to complete your withdrawal.
Now, simply punch in your private code number to (ROARS) (BEEPING) (IN DISTORTED VOICE) Thank you for banking at Carlton Financial.
(GASPING) Leigh, what happened? LEIGH: I don't know It's never been this real before.
Oh, baby, I should never have left you alone.
Never.
There was this green creature.
I thought I was getting better.
Leigh, how did this happen? I don't know.
There was this creature.
Honey, I know you still want to reopen, but after all this, it's going to be very difficult.
We'll talk later.
Maybe it just wasn't meant to be.
(SIGHING) What's wrong? Something interesting.
Look.
DAVID: No wonder it broke off.
The threads have been stripped.
Really? Yeah.
(EXCLAIMING) Well, it always comes down to money, doesn't it, David? This thing's so damned old, Madame Tussaud must have used it.
I told Leigh three weeks ago to call in a repair man, but evidently she thought she'd save the money and fix it herself.
Where is she now? At home, resting.
The doctor came by.
She's under sedation.
Hasn't been easy for any of us.
Maybe it's time to let go.
"K-73-51"? MAN: Right.
The pill's 90% sugar.
DAVID: And the other 10%? LSD-25.
In this kind of dosage, it can cause minor hallucinations.
It can also make whatever fears you have become real.
It can feed whatever paranoia you have.
It's real sweet stuff, man.
Yeah.
Taken over a long period of time, this stuff can really freak you out.
You remember that army guy? The one who didn't know he was getting experimented on? Mmm-hmm.
He went bananas.
So take it easy, man, if you take it at all.
Dig? Bye.
Hi.
Oh, I I thought you were going to stay home.
I wanted to get back to work.
You shouldn't have to do everything yourself.
(CHUCKLING) And I feel better, now.
I'm okay.
I really want to meet that deadline.
Leigh, I I think it's gone beyond that now.
I just can't make these books work.
And I can't justify us telling the bank that we're going to be able to open in time and be profitable.
But you said I know what I said, honey.
I love you very much.
But I've been looking at this whole situation with my heart instead of my head.
It's impossible.
I had a phone call from Kelleher a few moments ago.
Consolidated has raised their offer.
It'll mean a great deal of money for both of us.
What about Dad? What about his dream? It was his dream, not yours.
Leigh, we both need to get out.
We need to lead our own lives.
I can't.
He's part of me.
I couldn't disappoint him.
What about me? Martin was no saint.
You keep making him out to be something he wasn't.
Oh, Leigh, can't you understand what you're doing to yourself? Please, honey.
That's not true.
That's not the way it was.
You tell Kelleher, "No!" We're going to open! I just don't know what more I can do for you.
If I keep protecting you, it may do you more harm than good.
Like that business with the sketches.
Between taking care of you and trying to balance these books, I'm afraid we're both going to wind up in the hospital.
No.
No hospitals.
And now you're seeing green men.
What next? I didn't.
I didn't see anything, believe me.
Leigh, please go home.
I'm gonna stay here.
I have to work.
(SIGHING) Morning.
Jack McGee.
Jack McGee, The National Register? The National Register.
The Here, here.
The newspaper that's gonna pay you a $10,000 reward for your information leading to the capture of the Hulk.
Mister, I don't know what the hell you're talking about.
I am talking about the red-eye that I took out of Chicago because of your phone call last night.
What? Look, kid, you called me.
Collect as a matter of cold, hard fact.
Now, I don't want to see you get in trouble about this, so if you'll just Mister, I was home last night with my sister, watching a football game.
You can ask her.
You're Reuben, right? Reuben? The old man.
That's my boss.
Oh, okay, fine then.
So Reuben saw the creature, is that it? Mister, I don't know what he saw.
I came in this morning to relieve him, and he was rambling on about something.
I don't know.
But you see, it was a cold night last night, so I figured he took a couple of nips.
He wasn't, by any chance, rambling on about seeing a large, green creature run out of the wax museum, though, was he? Something like that.
Something like that.
Sure.
Sure.
Hey, lookit, I got to get this weekend supplement out, huh? Yeah, sure, of course.
Thanks a lot for your help.
WALTER: Mr.
Kelleher, would you please call Consolidated and tell them I'm ready to negotiate.
Good idea.
You're making a wise decision.
It's only a matter of drawing up some papers.
If I may ask, what was the contributing factor to your niece's rather sudden change of mind? She's going away.
For treatment? Yes, but she'll be fine.
There's no problem.
Would you draw up the papers? Leigh will sign them tonight.
Hmm.
Leigh? Leigh, may I talk to you for a second? About the vat that was broken last night, did Walter ask you to have a repairman come and fix the spigot? I don't know what you're talking about.
It broke, that's all.
Would you leave me alone? I have I don't think you should take anymore of those.
I need them.
Where'd you get them? From the doctor.
A pharmacy? My uncle picks them up for me now.
Could you please leave me alone? I really have a lot of work to do.
Leigh, this is very important.
Please listen to me.
What you're taking is contributing to your hallucinations.
(SNIFFLING) I have these daydreams, and the pills help to stop the daydreams.
WALTER: As in big green creatures? Leigh, are you sure you should be working here after all you've been through? I'm fine.
I'm okay.
Honey, I wish you'd go home.
Dr.
Steinberg will be there shortly.
WALTER: Leigh.
No.
He'll want to put me back in the hospital.
Leigh, we can't do it by ourselves anymore.
I have to work.
I'm going to stay here.
David, could I speak to you alone? Leigh, please remember what I said.
(HULK ROARING) This should take care of your next two weeks salary, David.
I'm sorry things didn't work out, but with all these accidents and the bank leaning on me, we're just going to have to sell the place.
I appreciate what you've done.
Thank you.
I'll get my things.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
My name's Jack McGee.
I'm from The National Register in Chicago.
I think maybe you can help me.
But since the museum was closed at the time, Miss Gamble, you were the only one in the place.
You must've at least heard something.
Think.
Well, I was very tired.
I really don't remember anything.
A creature, Miss Gamble, a large, hulking creature like the one that you've created on your work table, right there.
You've seen him, Miss Gamble.
Where is he? I don't I don't know.
Miss Gamble, please.
It's really important.
What I saw, what I thought I saw, was an illusion.
No.
He's real.
It was a hallucination! Look, I haven't been well, Mr.
McGee.
Believe me, I'm not I just want you to tell me exactly what you saw.
Even what you thought you saw.
A man.
I saw a man turn into this creature.
But it was an illusion.
It had to be! Who is he? He's nobody! I made him up! Where is this man, Miss Gamble? I don't know.
Please leave me alone.
Go ask my uncle.
Where's he? In his office.
Down the hall.
Thank you, Miss Gamble.
(GASPING) (LEIGH GASPING) DAVID: Leigh.
Leigh? Listen to me.
(LEIGH GASPING) Leigh.
(LEIGH MO ANING) LEIGH: Daddy.
Please! Don't! Get out! (GASPING) HULK: Leigh! HULK: Leigh! (ROARS) I'm sorry, Mr.
McGee, but I'm very busy here, and I I just don't have the time to discuss my niece's fantasies with you.
So, if you'll excuse me, I'd appreciate your not harassing her anymore.
Sure.
Leigh? Leigh, listen to me.
You've got to come with me.
(GASPING) I can't go back there.
No.
I'm not going to take you to the hospital.
We are going to go someplace safe.
(EXCLAIMING) (LEIGH GASPING) (SCREAMING) Relax, honey, relax.
Everything is going to be all right.
Here, Leigh, sign this.
No! No! No! No, no, no, no.
Poor David.
How could you have done that to him? (PANTING) I can't believe it's come to this.
(STAMMERING) I didn't! I couldn't! (IN DISTORTED VOICE) Leigh, you're the only one here.
Just like you were the only one here the first time.
But it's too late.
It's all over.
I have to give it up.
No! You can't.
It's Dad's! You don't have a choice anymore.
You have to go back, Leigh.
No.
No.
No.
It was his whole life.
People have to come, people have to see.
They just have to see his genius.
His genius? (WALTER LAUGHING) I hated him.
I was more of a father to you than he ever was! You never saw that.
LEIGH: Don't, Daddy.
Please.
Don't! Get out! Please! It was you.
It was you! WALTER: I saved you, Leigh.
No.
You killed my father! You hit him like that! You let him die! And then you blamed me.
All this time, it was you! (SOBBING) Oh We were trapped by him, both of us.
Oh, he was a genius, all right.
But he made me feel inferior.
Once I saw you had his talent, I knew I didn't need him any longer, that we could get along just fine.
But now you've become just like him.
No, no! I'm sorry, Leigh, I'm sorry.
No! (GROANING) WALTER: And it's your own fault.
(LEIGH SCREAMING) (LEIGH GASPING) (COUGHING) (LEIGH COUGHING) (COUGHING) Oh, my God! I need help! WALTER: She's hurt! Please, do something! McGEE: Hey! Hey, hey! (DAVID SCREAMING) (COUGHING) (HULK ROARS) (COUGHING) (ROARS) (ROARS) (ROARS) (ROARS) (WALTER SCREAMING) (ROARS) McGEE: I want to congratulate you on your recovery.
From what I can see, it looks like this place is going to be a real success.
Thank you.
It was very kind of you to wait for me.
I'm sorry, the doctors wouldn't I know.
They told me.
No visitors.
So, have you come back to give us a write-up? A Well, it's not exactly my kind of story.
What, a woman who's given another chance to lead a normal life? Sounds pretty good to me.
It's nice, commendable, heartwarming stuff, but the thing that I really found heartwarming, personally, is that John Doe, my John Doe, the man that I have been following for three years saved your life.
Now, come on, Miss Gamble.
Maybe we could manage a couple of columns.
Well, that would be very nice.
But you saved my life, Mr.
McGee.
(SCOFFING) My uncle was giving me LSD.
I was hallucinating.
There was no green man.
And the only other person there was my assistant who disappeared after the fire.
What was his name? Beckwith.
I really don't remember much from then.
It's so vague.
Do you know where he's gone? No, I don't.
But I would like to do something for you for saving my life.
What's this? A lifetime pass to the wax museum.
Oh (STAMMERING) Thank you.
(ROARS) Leigh? Leigh's father.
She lives in such guilt over that fire.
Is she still under a doctor's care? You've seen him, Miss Gamble.
I saw a man turn into this creature.
(ROARS) (ROARS) NARRATOR: Dr.
David Banner, physician, scientist.
Searching for a way to tap into the hidden strengths that all humans have.
Then, an accidental overdose of gamma radiation alters his body chemistry.
And now, when David Banner grows angry or outraged, a startling metamorphosis occurs.
(ROARS) The creature is driven by rage and pursued by an investigative reporter.
Mr.
McGee, don't make me angry.
You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.
The creature is wanted for a murder he didn't commit.
David Banner is believed to be dead.
And he must let the world think that he is dead until he can find a way to control the raging spirit that dwells within him.
(ROARS) WALTER: You can see the damage from the fire is quite extensive.
The refurbishing is a big job, but if we don't reopen soon, we're not going to be able to make the bank payments, which brings me back to money, always money.
I'm sorry, David, but we can't pay you very much.
A few bucks, room and board.
I need a job.
Well, you've got one.
You'll be working with my niece, Leigh.
She's made most of the figures you see around here.
Look, David, there's something I'd like to mention before we go in to meet Leigh.
Yes.
There have been a couple of other guys who've been here before you.
They just didn't work out.
Well, I realize that my work in wax isn't that extensive.
It doesn't matter.
I just want to I mean, you might want to take it a little easy with Leigh.
You see, she's been in and out of the hospital ever since the fire.
The last few months have been very difficult for her.
Well, burns can take a long time to heal.
It wasn't that kind of hospital.
I mean, she's okay, now.
She's really come a long way.
Well, I just thought I'd mention it.
WALTER: Leigh.
What happened? Nothing.
It just fell (STAMMERING) Nothing.
(CHUCKLING) Must have tripped on his toga.
What detail.
Oh, my niece is such a fine artist.
Oh, honey, meet David Beckwith, your new assistant.
(CHUCKLING) David.
Hello.
I hope you work well under pressure.
What kind of pressure? Well, we're opening in three and a half weeks, the bank willing.
A date we can't miss this time.
Uncle Walter, I'm working on it.
It'll be all right.
I know you are, honey.
And you're doing a great job.
And now, I've got to go and do a great job on the books, to keep the bank off our backs.
We're meeting with Kelleher at 3:00.
Make sure you bring your portfolio.
Oh, it's all ready.
Good.
Boy, I just can't get over it.
That Caesar looks so real.
Yes, it does.
Let me help, Leigh.
David! Yes? Nothing.
Are you all right? I'm fine.
I'm fine.
I just forgot to take my medicine.
I'll be fine.
All right.
It isn't exactly spacious, but this is where you'll sleep.
Oh, it's fine, just fine.
My father used to sleep here when he worked late.
Now that you're with us, I'll be able to work night and day.
I'm sure we'll make our deadline.
Well, your wish is my command.
Except for one thing.
What's that? You think he might be moved out of the room.
I I might have a little difficulty sleeping.
He just might attack me in the night.
(SIGHING) Sure.
You want me to help you with that? No, no.
It's okay.
I got it.
Oh, yeah.
Excuse me.
Yeah, yeah.
If you need anything else, just let me know.
I'll ask, yes.
KELLEHER: We've gone with you about as far as we can go on this matter, Mr.
Gamble.
I really don't see how the bank has any other alternative but to take title.
You can't do that! Don't worry, honey.
We're here to convince this gentleman otherwise.
Mr.
Kelleher, we'd appreciate it so very much if you'd please bear with us just a little longer.
We're opening again.
But you've already missed your first date.
I know, I misjudged.
But we won't miss this one, I promise you.
This museum was my brother's dream, his whole life.
The fire destroyed him, and nearly everything he'd worked for.
We can't bring him back, but we're doing everything we possibly can to keep his museum alive.
Please, Mr.
Gamble, the bank is sympathetic to your tragedy, but we are governed by rules and regulations.
An artist's lifetime of work shouldn't be affected by things like that.
Let me again suggest that you consider that offer from Consolidated Entertainment.
If you sell the museum, you'll be rid of your debt with us, and you stand to make a good profit besides.
No, Mr.
Kelleher, I can't give it up now.
I'm merely a trustee.
Whatever Leigh wants to do, I stand behind her all the way.
Look, Mr.
Kelleher, we can make this museum a viable operation.
Show him your sketches, honey.
They're really terrific.
Special displays, real promotional values, everything all laid out.
And we can have it open in time for the tourist season.
Just take a look.
(LEIGH EXCLAIMING) LEIGH: I I put it I put them in here.
What do you mean, Leigh? (EXCLAIMING) Oh, Leigh, I'm sorry.
(STUTTERING) And I'm sorry, honey.
We were in such a hurry to get here, I must have mixed everything all up.
They were there! It's all right.
It's my fault.
Mr.
Kelleher, perhaps we should continue this at another time.
I understand.
Thank you.
I'll call you.
I put them in there.
I really did.
I'm sure you did.
I picked up the wrong one.
Now, don't worry.
We're both a little nervous.
Leigh, why don't you go on home and get some rest? I'll see if I can get the books on our side.
No, I'd rather go back to work.
Leigh No, really, I want to.
It's the best kind of therapy for me.
I'll be fine.
I'm sorry.
Forget it.
Forget it.
Just take care of yourself.
And don't forget your medication.
And I don't want you skipping dinner again.
Don't treat me like a child! Please.
You're the only family I have.
How many of these would you like in the workroom? Well, how many did I tell you? You didn't.
That's why I asked.
I'm sorry, David, I didn't mean to snap at you.
It's just that I really blew it at the bank.
Uncle Walter's trying so hard to help, and all I seem to do is make things worse.
He's taking care of the business end, but the rest of it is all up to me.
Hey, relax.
I'm here, too.
We'll get it done, okay? LEIGH: If only he were here to help.
He was a genius.
Your father? Yeah.
(SIGHING) I don't know what my uncle told you, but the fire Well, it was my fault that he died.
He said it was an accident.
It was my fault.
(SIGHING) He's still in this room, his spirit, his influence.
I just couldn't save him.
I couldn't get through the fire.
LEIGH: Don't, Daddy.
Please.
Don't! Get out! Please! Daddy.
Leigh.
Leigh! (GASPING) I'm all right.
I'm okay.
I'm fine! (CAR HORN HONKING) David, I'd like to show you something.
I know I'm not the easiest person to work with, but I do appreciate all the help you've given me.
Please come.
You are about to come face-to-face with the new star of the museum.
In person? In wax.
Oh.
I've been working on it all night.
Now, come here.
Close your eyes.
Okay, open your eyes.
Just imagine, David, your face will have a place of honor in the museum, thousands of people coming in to see it.
Do you like it? LEIGH: Well, what do you think? It's uncanny.
You don't like it.
(STAMMERING) No, I didn't mean that.
It's unsettling.
Yeah, I know.
I Actually, you know, I don't fit in here.
I mean, I'm not a historical figure, just an ordinary guy.
No, you're not.
Besides, as the artist, it's my prerogative.
It's also my museum.
It's like looking into a mirror.
I keep expecting him to reach out and touch me.
Yeah, I know.
Hey, wait a minute.
I got an idea.
(STUTTERING) This may be an opportunity for me to fulfill my fantasy, to bring it to life.
Really? How? (LAUGHING THEATRICALLY) (LAUGHING) LEIGH: So, this is your fantasy.
(DAVID SPEAKING LIKE A PIRATE) Aye, I like it.
Pirate Davey Beckwith, scourge of the seven seas.
(GROWLING) My favorite hero.
It's a whole new you.
Oh, I've gotta go get ready.
My uncle promised to take me to the ballet.
It's my reward for working so hard.
It's been so long since I've done anything fun.
You enjoy yourself, and I will take care of the store.
Thank you.
Mmm-hmm.
David, are these the new figures Leigh's been working on? Yes, I believe so.
Martin? Leigh? David, uncover the other one.
My God! They're both the same man.
Leigh's father.
Pretty grim.
Guilt.
He was a perfectionist, and he demanded the same of her.
Nothing Leigh ever did was right.
She's She's still paying.
She lives in such guilt over that fire.
My God, she probably caused it, but it was an accident.
It kills me to see her like this.
I I swear I don't know what to do anymore.
Is she still under a doctor's care? Oh, I couldn't force her.
I thought some progress had been made.
I don't know, I Maybe the medication will help.
Uncle Walter, I'm ready.
Leigh, you look beautiful.
Are you going out? Well, of course.
With David? No.
Did you forget? Forget what, honey? We're going to the ballet.
Don't you remember? We made plans.
Of course.
How stupid of me.
With all this bank business, it must have slipped my mind.
I'm sorry, honey.
Wait right here, I'll be right back.
Well, you don't have to No, no, no.
I'll just get my things.
That's right, two tickets.
Oh, loge or orchestra, I don't give a damn.
LEIGH: Uncle Walter.
Thank you.
Cab's on its way.
No.
You don't have to go through this for me.
I've obviously made a mistake.
(GROANING) Don't worry.
Don't worry about it.
I'll get them for you.
Come on, sit down, sit down.
Okay.
(SNIFFLING) Look, we don't care who you are.
We just want people to know what they're taking.
Dangers, side effects, whatever.
Now, the decision's up to you.
Just give us a day or two, and in the meantime, don't take the drug.
You got me? I'd like to get this analyzed.
It's supposed to be a tranquilizer, but there's no pharmaceutical house ID on it.
What, is it street stuff? I don't know.
Okay, we'll check it out.
What are the numbers for? So when you call, we know it's the right person.
You heard the rap I gave to the chick? Oh, yeah.
Good.
Three hundred and eighty-seven times a day I say that little speech.
So, talk to you later, man.
Okay, thank you.
(SCULPTURES BREATHING HEAVILY) Stay back! Stay! No.
(SNIFFLING) (GASPING) (GROANING) David! David! David! DAVID: Leigh? (GROANING) Leigh, what's wrong? It's jammed.
No.
Leigh, please, don't! You'll burn yourself! Leigh, please don't! (GRUNTING) (DAVID SCREAMING) David! (SCREAMING) (EXCLAIMING) (HULK GRUNTING) (ROARS) (GRUNTS) (ROARS) (ROARS) (HULK GRUNTING) (GASPING) ELECTRONIC FEMALE VOICE: Now enter the amount you wish to withdraw.
(BEEPING) You have indicated $50.
Now simply punch in your private code number to complete your withdrawal.
Oh, my God.
No! Oh, my God! Oh! Now simply punch in your private code number to complete your withdrawal.
Now simply punch in your private code number to complete your withdrawal.
Now simply punch in your private code number to complete your withdrawal.
(GRUNTING) Now simply punch in your private code number to complete your withdrawal.
Now, simply punch in your private code number to (ROARS) (BEEPING) (IN DISTORTED VOICE) Thank you for banking at Carlton Financial.
(GASPING) Leigh, what happened? LEIGH: I don't know It's never been this real before.
Oh, baby, I should never have left you alone.
Never.
There was this green creature.
I thought I was getting better.
Leigh, how did this happen? I don't know.
There was this creature.
Honey, I know you still want to reopen, but after all this, it's going to be very difficult.
We'll talk later.
Maybe it just wasn't meant to be.
(SIGHING) What's wrong? Something interesting.
Look.
DAVID: No wonder it broke off.
The threads have been stripped.
Really? Yeah.
(EXCLAIMING) Well, it always comes down to money, doesn't it, David? This thing's so damned old, Madame Tussaud must have used it.
I told Leigh three weeks ago to call in a repair man, but evidently she thought she'd save the money and fix it herself.
Where is she now? At home, resting.
The doctor came by.
She's under sedation.
Hasn't been easy for any of us.
Maybe it's time to let go.
"K-73-51"? MAN: Right.
The pill's 90% sugar.
DAVID: And the other 10%? LSD-25.
In this kind of dosage, it can cause minor hallucinations.
It can also make whatever fears you have become real.
It can feed whatever paranoia you have.
It's real sweet stuff, man.
Yeah.
Taken over a long period of time, this stuff can really freak you out.
You remember that army guy? The one who didn't know he was getting experimented on? Mmm-hmm.
He went bananas.
So take it easy, man, if you take it at all.
Dig? Bye.
Hi.
Oh, I I thought you were going to stay home.
I wanted to get back to work.
You shouldn't have to do everything yourself.
(CHUCKLING) And I feel better, now.
I'm okay.
I really want to meet that deadline.
Leigh, I I think it's gone beyond that now.
I just can't make these books work.
And I can't justify us telling the bank that we're going to be able to open in time and be profitable.
But you said I know what I said, honey.
I love you very much.
But I've been looking at this whole situation with my heart instead of my head.
It's impossible.
I had a phone call from Kelleher a few moments ago.
Consolidated has raised their offer.
It'll mean a great deal of money for both of us.
What about Dad? What about his dream? It was his dream, not yours.
Leigh, we both need to get out.
We need to lead our own lives.
I can't.
He's part of me.
I couldn't disappoint him.
What about me? Martin was no saint.
You keep making him out to be something he wasn't.
Oh, Leigh, can't you understand what you're doing to yourself? Please, honey.
That's not true.
That's not the way it was.
You tell Kelleher, "No!" We're going to open! I just don't know what more I can do for you.
If I keep protecting you, it may do you more harm than good.
Like that business with the sketches.
Between taking care of you and trying to balance these books, I'm afraid we're both going to wind up in the hospital.
No.
No hospitals.
And now you're seeing green men.
What next? I didn't.
I didn't see anything, believe me.
Leigh, please go home.
I'm gonna stay here.
I have to work.
(SIGHING) Morning.
Jack McGee.
Jack McGee, The National Register? The National Register.
The Here, here.
The newspaper that's gonna pay you a $10,000 reward for your information leading to the capture of the Hulk.
Mister, I don't know what the hell you're talking about.
I am talking about the red-eye that I took out of Chicago because of your phone call last night.
What? Look, kid, you called me.
Collect as a matter of cold, hard fact.
Now, I don't want to see you get in trouble about this, so if you'll just Mister, I was home last night with my sister, watching a football game.
You can ask her.
You're Reuben, right? Reuben? The old man.
That's my boss.
Oh, okay, fine then.
So Reuben saw the creature, is that it? Mister, I don't know what he saw.
I came in this morning to relieve him, and he was rambling on about something.
I don't know.
But you see, it was a cold night last night, so I figured he took a couple of nips.
He wasn't, by any chance, rambling on about seeing a large, green creature run out of the wax museum, though, was he? Something like that.
Something like that.
Sure.
Sure.
Hey, lookit, I got to get this weekend supplement out, huh? Yeah, sure, of course.
Thanks a lot for your help.
WALTER: Mr.
Kelleher, would you please call Consolidated and tell them I'm ready to negotiate.
Good idea.
You're making a wise decision.
It's only a matter of drawing up some papers.
If I may ask, what was the contributing factor to your niece's rather sudden change of mind? She's going away.
For treatment? Yes, but she'll be fine.
There's no problem.
Would you draw up the papers? Leigh will sign them tonight.
Hmm.
Leigh? Leigh, may I talk to you for a second? About the vat that was broken last night, did Walter ask you to have a repairman come and fix the spigot? I don't know what you're talking about.
It broke, that's all.
Would you leave me alone? I have I don't think you should take anymore of those.
I need them.
Where'd you get them? From the doctor.
A pharmacy? My uncle picks them up for me now.
Could you please leave me alone? I really have a lot of work to do.
Leigh, this is very important.
Please listen to me.
What you're taking is contributing to your hallucinations.
(SNIFFLING) I have these daydreams, and the pills help to stop the daydreams.
WALTER: As in big green creatures? Leigh, are you sure you should be working here after all you've been through? I'm fine.
I'm okay.
Honey, I wish you'd go home.
Dr.
Steinberg will be there shortly.
WALTER: Leigh.
No.
He'll want to put me back in the hospital.
Leigh, we can't do it by ourselves anymore.
I have to work.
I'm going to stay here.
David, could I speak to you alone? Leigh, please remember what I said.
(HULK ROARING) This should take care of your next two weeks salary, David.
I'm sorry things didn't work out, but with all these accidents and the bank leaning on me, we're just going to have to sell the place.
I appreciate what you've done.
Thank you.
I'll get my things.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
My name's Jack McGee.
I'm from The National Register in Chicago.
I think maybe you can help me.
But since the museum was closed at the time, Miss Gamble, you were the only one in the place.
You must've at least heard something.
Think.
Well, I was very tired.
I really don't remember anything.
A creature, Miss Gamble, a large, hulking creature like the one that you've created on your work table, right there.
You've seen him, Miss Gamble.
Where is he? I don't I don't know.
Miss Gamble, please.
It's really important.
What I saw, what I thought I saw, was an illusion.
No.
He's real.
It was a hallucination! Look, I haven't been well, Mr.
McGee.
Believe me, I'm not I just want you to tell me exactly what you saw.
Even what you thought you saw.
A man.
I saw a man turn into this creature.
But it was an illusion.
It had to be! Who is he? He's nobody! I made him up! Where is this man, Miss Gamble? I don't know.
Please leave me alone.
Go ask my uncle.
Where's he? In his office.
Down the hall.
Thank you, Miss Gamble.
(GASPING) (LEIGH GASPING) DAVID: Leigh.
Leigh? Listen to me.
(LEIGH GASPING) Leigh.
(LEIGH MO ANING) LEIGH: Daddy.
Please! Don't! Get out! (GASPING) HULK: Leigh! HULK: Leigh! (ROARS) I'm sorry, Mr.
McGee, but I'm very busy here, and I I just don't have the time to discuss my niece's fantasies with you.
So, if you'll excuse me, I'd appreciate your not harassing her anymore.
Sure.
Leigh? Leigh, listen to me.
You've got to come with me.
(GASPING) I can't go back there.
No.
I'm not going to take you to the hospital.
We are going to go someplace safe.
(EXCLAIMING) (LEIGH GASPING) (SCREAMING) Relax, honey, relax.
Everything is going to be all right.
Here, Leigh, sign this.
No! No! No! No, no, no, no.
Poor David.
How could you have done that to him? (PANTING) I can't believe it's come to this.
(STAMMERING) I didn't! I couldn't! (IN DISTORTED VOICE) Leigh, you're the only one here.
Just like you were the only one here the first time.
But it's too late.
It's all over.
I have to give it up.
No! You can't.
It's Dad's! You don't have a choice anymore.
You have to go back, Leigh.
No.
No.
No.
It was his whole life.
People have to come, people have to see.
They just have to see his genius.
His genius? (WALTER LAUGHING) I hated him.
I was more of a father to you than he ever was! You never saw that.
LEIGH: Don't, Daddy.
Please.
Don't! Get out! Please! It was you.
It was you! WALTER: I saved you, Leigh.
No.
You killed my father! You hit him like that! You let him die! And then you blamed me.
All this time, it was you! (SOBBING) Oh We were trapped by him, both of us.
Oh, he was a genius, all right.
But he made me feel inferior.
Once I saw you had his talent, I knew I didn't need him any longer, that we could get along just fine.
But now you've become just like him.
No, no! I'm sorry, Leigh, I'm sorry.
No! (GROANING) WALTER: And it's your own fault.
(LEIGH SCREAMING) (LEIGH GASPING) (COUGHING) (LEIGH COUGHING) (COUGHING) Oh, my God! I need help! WALTER: She's hurt! Please, do something! McGEE: Hey! Hey, hey! (DAVID SCREAMING) (COUGHING) (HULK ROARS) (COUGHING) (ROARS) (ROARS) (ROARS) (ROARS) (WALTER SCREAMING) (ROARS) McGEE: I want to congratulate you on your recovery.
From what I can see, it looks like this place is going to be a real success.
Thank you.
It was very kind of you to wait for me.
I'm sorry, the doctors wouldn't I know.
They told me.
No visitors.
So, have you come back to give us a write-up? A Well, it's not exactly my kind of story.
What, a woman who's given another chance to lead a normal life? Sounds pretty good to me.
It's nice, commendable, heartwarming stuff, but the thing that I really found heartwarming, personally, is that John Doe, my John Doe, the man that I have been following for three years saved your life.
Now, come on, Miss Gamble.
Maybe we could manage a couple of columns.
Well, that would be very nice.
But you saved my life, Mr.
McGee.
(SCOFFING) My uncle was giving me LSD.
I was hallucinating.
There was no green man.
And the only other person there was my assistant who disappeared after the fire.
What was his name? Beckwith.
I really don't remember much from then.
It's so vague.
Do you know where he's gone? No, I don't.
But I would like to do something for you for saving my life.
What's this? A lifetime pass to the wax museum.
Oh (STAMMERING) Thank you.
