Dave, what are you doing?

I'm looking for aloe iodide.

He's not here.

Yes, but that's not where it is.

Can you give me 12 seconds and I'll come find it for you?

12 seconds is specific.

Wow, these are very expired.

Okay, so... no iodine.

Oh, right.

Thank you.

Well, that's not... we tried for two years.

I know.

I know, honey.

And we don't even talk about it anymore.

The conversation wasn't the most important part.

It wouldn't be for us.

Yeah, so we were okay with that.

We were fine, but...

This is better.

It's much better, isn't it?

This is great.

Obviously, we will need protocols to account for our greetings.

Read.

About cosmic effects.

Read.

We can do this.

Okay?

I really want to do this.

I really want to do this.

And what?

Nothing will change.

Of course not.

Ladies and gentlemen, we welcome you to a very special event.

We are celebrating four years of the Fantastic Four.

And now, your host for tonight... Ted Gilbert.

People!

Folks, we all know the story.

Four brave astronauts are heading into space.

Encounter a bit of cosmic turbulence.

And he returned forever changed.

Not just the molecules of their bodies.

But also their place in our hearts.

And now, a look back.

Four years ago, a man and a woman conquered the last frontier as we know it.

Space exploration.

The best pilot in the world, right here.

The best, he thinks.

That was my mission.

Space exploration.

I gathered the best scientific minds that came.

Who happened to be my best friend.

My wife.

And my son-in-law.

Communications, everyone has made an announcement.

Check.

Check, check.

Check.

Communications are live.

The last voice he heard was my little brother, Jonathan Storm.

And ladies, it's very simple.

Kiss for good luck.

Kiss.

However, Dr. Richard's expedition encountered an unforeseen event.

Change not only in the lives of these brave individuals.

Where I go to look, you go to look too.

But also the course of our history.

What is that?

I don't know, I don't know.

It will be cosmic fury.

Apparently, while we were in space, due to errors on my part, we encountered

a cosmic storm that changed our DNA.

We returned with anomalies.

And they came back with superpowers.

They became our protectors.

Let him go!

It's time to knock!

At the opening of the Pan Am Tower when the Ball Man attacked.

The Fantastic Four saved my life.

Bollman's attempt to steal Pan Am

The construction was disrupted by the Fantastic Four.

This is all Reed Richards' fault.

Him and his endless quest for progress.

Power to the underworld!

When the crazy finger tried to sabotage New York City,

The Fantastic Four came to our rescue.

I have you!

They defeated the Red Ghost and his Super Monkeys.

They became our inspiration.

This equation not only confirms the alternatives...

but it suggests that parallel Earths exist on different dimensional planes.

Who wants to see a big explosion?

And they became our leaders.

Sue Storm broke up with Harvey Weinstein as a peace treaty

An old man, leader of the underground nation of the Underworld.

I don't trust the surface dwellers.

I never have.

But I trust Sue.

Today we gathered to draft a new statute.

The "Future" Foundation.

All participating countries agree to disband their armed forces.

And on this fourth anniversary, we celebrate it.

They are the best of us.

They are the Fantastic Four.

Thank you Fantastic Four!

Thank you Fantastic Four!

I love you, Johnny!

We love you!

Thank you!

We are proud to call them our guides, our protectors, and our friends.

Let's hear it for Reeve, Sue, Johnny and Ben!

Herbie!

Herbs with herbs!

What does that sauce look like?

Don't do that.

Wash your hands.

It's always on my gloves.

Let me try that.

Okay.

Okay.

Is this person good?

That's fantastic!

That's incredible.

Stop.

Don't do that.

Do it.

It's not quite finished.

Not.

It's not quite finished.

Not.

It could be done.

But I'll add a little more garlic.

Not because it's not delicious.

I just want to add a little bit of patent.

Okay?

What are you doing?

What do you think I'm doing?

You'll spoil your appetite.

I am hungry.

We are never late for Sunday dinner.

Should we wait?

I guess.

You're late.

What do you think?

What do you mean, what do you want me to say?

You're late for dinner.

Oh, yes, we are.

Really.

For one minute?

Yes.

I just... put some aloe vera on my shoulder.

I'm doing my shoulder.

Why is it breakfast cereal?

It's on the dining table.

Why?

Are you acting strange?

Not.

I'm not acting strange.

Well, you do that weird thing with your face.

Well, we don't know what you're talking about.

Are you pregnant?

Yes, I'm pregnant.

Yes, yes.

How did you know that?

That time you looked into your husband's face.

I know, but you just can't keep a secret.

What?

Really?

Yes.

What?

I am pregnant.

Oh, my God.

You will be the best mother.

Oh, my God.

You will be the best father.

I'm kidding.

You are beyond your capabilities.

But we're going to be the best uncles of all time.

Okay.

We need to eat.

You're doing well with this.

You know, I assumed you'd be locked up in

your laboratory drenched in panicky sweat.

I had scheduled that for later.

The countdown continues.

As the Fantastic Four prepare to

enter the world of the future, we will be We

We are here to welcome the new member of the family.

Needless to say, preparations at the Baxter Building are underway.

Okay, buddy.

Let's start preparing the baby.

Harvey!

Yancy Street beginners take their chances on a girl

at four to five, but the chances of twins are small.

Herbert!

Oil and gas cowboys want a minute to

to yell at you before you go on maternity leave.

Speaking of cold love, Eva.

Liv, when are you going to see Sue?
