Recap

The Fantastic Car arrives at the Baxter Building. As the Fantastic Four begin to exit their car, Johnny apologizes for messing up once again. Ben and Sue are disappointed in him.

Episode Quotes
Susan: Why would Doom do this? Why come here, through the lobby? I know Doom is arrogant, but this seems even foolish for him.
Doom-as-Reed: Doom thinks on a different level than we do. Trying to understand his motives would be like explaining particle physics to a fly.
Ben: Did you just compliment him?

Johnny: So, I'm getting the sense that you're mad about something.
Ben: I'm past mad. Mad was three machines ago. It's just... eh, just something Reed said.
Johnny: Yeah, he's really in a mood today. He said I was irresponsible. Me! Can you believe it?
Susan: I can believe it.
Johnny: Aw, not you, too. Haven't I been picked on enough for one day?
Susan: No, that's not what I meant. Well, I do believe that you're irresponsible, but that's just a coincidence.

Johnny: Look, everybody, here's Reed Richards, Mr. Fantastic himself! Say something to the cameras, Reed. What's it like being the smartest man in the world?
Doom-as-Reed: "Smartest man in the world"? Hardly, Storm. Were I the smartest man in the world, I'd find a way to extinguish your flames as you're too irresponsible and dangerous to be flying around this city unchecked. With heroes like you, who needs super-villains?
Johnny: He, uh, hasn't had his coffee yet.

Cab Driver: Where to, buddy?
Reed-as-Doom: The Baxter Building.
Cab Driver: Okay, you got it. Hey, you're that Iron Man guy, ain't cha?
Reed-as-Doom: Uh, yes. Yes, I am.
Cab Driver: Yeah, well don't expect no robot discount, pal.



Cultural References
