John Hancock: [to pinned-down cop] Good job! Do I have permission to touch your body?

Female Cop: [screaming] Get me the hell out of here!

Ray Embrey: People should love you. They really should, okay? And I want to deliver that for you. It's the least that I can do. You're a superhero. Kids should be running up to you, asking for your autograph, people should be cheering you on the streets...

Hancock: [yelling to crowd of neighbors watching] What the hell you pricks looking at?

Hancock: [to the cops] Just take them off, guys. Lower your weapons.

Criminal: You gonna get us out of here. With that tight-ass Wolverine outfit on. Now, let's make it happen, asshole.

Hancock: The way you deal with bullies - you take your right foot, bring it right up and catch him in his little piss pump.

Mary Embrey: You don't have to do that, honey. Okay? Seriously.

Aaron Embrey: It's a good idea.

Hancock: You aim straight, make sure he can't use that thing for nothin' but a flap to keep the dust out of his butt crack.

Hancock: [on Aaron's learning to deal with bullies] Ah the whole turn the other cheek thing huh?

Mary Embrey: [referring to Hancock] Did he... just take the whiskey bottle to the bathroom?

Ray Embrey: Do you want him to kill us all?

Ray Embrey: My basic diagnosis of your fundamental problem is... do you want to hear it?

Hancock: No.

Ray Embrey: You're an asshole. I know. I call it like I see it, though. It's not a crime to be an asshole, but it's very counter-productive. Not a crime, but you are an asshole, don't you think?

Hancock: Be careful.

Ray Embrey: Right now, there's a DA trying to coming up here and put you in jail.

Hancock: [while eating banana] Bitch can try!

Ray Embrey: I say you go.

Hancock: [confused] Hmm?

Ray Embrey: People take you for granted, you know. We gotta make people miss you. People don't like you, Hancock.

Aaron Embrey: [yelling from other room] I do!

Ray Embrey: So you've used the door, the building's still intact, people are happy you've arrived, they feel safe now, there's an officer there and he's done a good job, so you might want to tell him he's done a good job.

Hancock: What the hell did I have to come for Ray if he's done a good job?

Ray Embrey: [showing Hancock his uniform] For when they call.

Hancock: I ain't wearing that, Ray.

Ray Embrey: Yes, you are.

Hancock: Oh no, I'm not.

Ray Embrey: No, you are.

Hancock: Actually, I'm not Ray.

Ray Embrey: You think you're not, but you are.

Hancock: I will fight crime butt-ass naked before I fight it in that, Ray.

Ray Embrey: You know, you have fought naked. We got that. That's on Youtube.

Hancock: You and I...

Mary Embrey: You and I what?

Hancock: ...we're the same.

Mary Embrey: No. I'm stronger.

Hancock: Really?

Mary Embrey: [smiling] Oh yeah.

Hancock: Who are we?

Mary Embrey: Gods, angels... Different cultures call us by different names. Now all of a sudden it's superhero.

Hancock: Are there more of us?

Mary Embrey: There were. They all died. It's just the two of us.

Mary Embrey: [referring to Hancock] We broke up decades ago. Long before you were born. He just can't remember.

Ray Embrey: But you can. Right? You knew? That's something you might want to bring up on the first date, Mary. "I don't like to travel. I'm allergic to cats. I'm immortal." Okay? Those are some of the things you might want to give a little heads-up on.

Mary Embrey: Whatever we are, we were built in twos, okay? We were drawn to each other. No matter how far I run, he's always there. He finds me. It's physics.

Ray Embrey: What are you saying? Are you saying you two are fated to be together?

Mary Embrey: I've lived for a very long time, Ray. And the one thing I've learned: Fate doesn't decide everything. People get to choose.

Hancock: And you chose to let me think I was here alone.

Mary Embrey: I didn't think you'd miss what you didn't remember.

Hancock: You broke my glasses.

Asian Gang Member: I'm sorry. Take my Ray Bans!

Ray Embrey: Will I get in trouble for that?

Hancock: If you don't move, your head is going up his ass. Y'all fellas sure you wanna ride this train?

Matrix: Choo, choo, asshole...

[Hancock shoves Matrix's head up into Man Mountain's ass]

Kenneth 'Red' Parker Jr.: He hurt you. Didn't he? Aw, use your words. How did it make you feel?

Man Mountain: Sore.

Matrix: Bad.

Kenneth 'Red' Parker Jr.: It's 'cause he took your power. And you have to get your power back. And no one will give you your power back. You have to go out and take it. You understand me? We're gonna find Hancock... and get your power back.

Ray Embrey: What about you, buddy? You're from another planet, aren't you?

Hancock: No man, I'm from Miami.

Ray Embrey: You didn't come on in, like, a meteor or...

Hancock: Nope. Woke up at a hospital, first thing I remember.

Ray Embrey: Government hospital. Yes? Experimenting on you and...

Hancock: No, Ray. Regular old Miami emergency room.

Ray Embrey: Come on.

Hancock: Yeah, uh, my skull was fractured. They told me I tried to, uh, stop a mugging.

Ray Embrey: Somebody knocked you out.

Hancock: Guess I was a regular guy before and when I woke up, I was changed. Uh, and the hospital nurse tried to put a needle in my arm and it just broke against my skin. And then my skull healed, in, like in an hour. The doctors were astounded and, uh, they wanted to know my story. Just like you. But, uh, I couldn't tell 'em. I don't know who I am.

Mary Embrey: Amnesia. You know, the blow to the head.

Hancock: Yeah, well, that's what they figure.

Ray Embrey: You don't remember anything?

Hancock: No. Only thing I had in my pocket was bubble-gum, two movie tickets. Boris Karloff. Uh, Frankenstein. Uh... But no ID, nothing. I went to sign out. The, uh, nurse asked me for my John Hancock. And, uh... I actually thought that's who I was.

Hancock: [after seeing a video of himself throwing Walter, the beached whale, back into the ocean, knocking over a sailboat] I don't even remember that.

Ray Embrey: Yeah. Greenpeace does.

[pause]

Ray Embrey: Walter does.

Male Caller: I, for one, have had enough of this guy. I'm glad he's doing time around bars, and I hope they don't let him off easy. Let my cousin Pookie out.

Female Caller: This city is run by gangs and drug dealers. Hancock is the only guy who makes them shake in their boots. He doesn't always tie a pretty ribbon around it, but he gets the job done. Besides, he's hot.

Ray Embrey: Why were you flying? You were flying, Mary.

Hancock: Yeah, she was definitely flying.

Mary Embrey: Okay, I was flying. And I'm very strong as well. It's just the way we are.

Ray Embrey: We?

Mary Embrey: Me and him. It's just us now. All the others paired up and died.

Hancock: Oh, you didn't say anything about the others paired up, at the trailer.

Ray Embrey: You were at his trailer.

Mary Embrey: It's very hard for me to explain.

Ray Embrey: Great, I'm all ears, Mary.

Hancock: Me too.

Ray Embrey: Do me a favor. Just give me and my wife one moment.

Hancock: Hey, don't... Don't bring it here, Ray.

Ray Embrey: The adults are talking, for one second.
