Paul Essiembre: The Silver Surfer, Norrin Radd

Quotes 

• Galactus : This planet dies so that I may live. A course of events that has occurred a billion times before.

  The Silver Surfer : But it has been wrong a billion times before. This place reminds me of Zenn-La, and given the time it too might become such a refuge. But even if it did not, still would its life be sacrosanct. I MUST MAKE MY STAND!

  Galactus : Your stand will destroy you.

  The Silver Surfer : Better to perish for what I believe in, than endure forever as a traitor to life!

  Galactus : Then so be it!

• The Silver Surfer : Galactus, the time has come for us to talk.

  Galactus : There is no need, my herald. I have found a planet with more life energy that I ever dared imagine. And for that reason I forgive your failure to perform your duties. For now.

  The Silver Surfer : But I do not forgive you!

  Galactus : Those are audacious words, Silver Surfer.

  The Silver Surfer : I want my life back! I demand my soul! I pledged that I would serve you, not give up my past!

  Galactus : We would discuss this another time, my Silver Surfer. For now it is your duty - no, your obligation to seek out my next source of energy!

  The Silver Surfer : It is YOUR obligation to return my memories. For now and ever more!

  Galactus : I said GO!

• The Silver Surfer : I... I seem to be making a habit of falling out of this world's sky.

  Frankie Raye : Ever consider getting into a Twelve Step program for that?

• The Silver Surfer : I used my Power Cosmic to heal you.

  Frankie Raye : Not too shabby. How about giving some of that action to the rest of the planet?

  The Silver Surfer : Now that I know who I was and who I am, that is exactly what I shall do!

• The Silver Surfer : Galactus, our bargain is over. You have deceived me and I serve you no more. I will stop your carnage, even if it costs me my life!

• The Silver Surfer : GALACTUS! When I agreed to become your herald it was to lead you away from sentient beings. This world is populated by men, by women who think, feel, who... who dream!

• Galactus : Audacity is one thing, my Silver Surfer. But rebellion is quite another. You have accomplished something that no force in the universe ever has before.

  The Silver Surfer : What is that?

  Galactus : You have forced me to interrupt my repast. I do not know whether to congratulate you for this unique deed, or vaporize you.

  The Silver Surfer : Do what you will, my former master. But I cannot allow you to kill any more!'

  Galactus : [laughs]  Former master? FORMER, you say? Can it be that I have been wrong about you, Silver Surfer? You are neither audacious nor rebellious, but simply mad!

  The Silver Surfer : Perhaps I was to believe that I could make any agreement with you! But now I know the truth!

  Galactus : And because of that you would attempt to destroy your creator - permit no mistake about it, your creator I am! I took away your memories because it was necessary. I knew that with them you would never be able to serve me.

  The Silver Surfer : Galactus, can you not understand? I no longer care about what you've done to me. It's what you are doing to this world!

• The Silver Surfer : Watcher! Watcher, where is my world? Where is my home? Tell me, please.

  Watcher Prime : I cannot tell you. So mighty is Galactus that he has moved Zenn-La to a place where it is hidden, even from me. Truly I am sorry.

• The Silver Surfer : I will find you, Shalla-Bal! No matter how long or dangerous the way, no matter what prevail I must endure! Never will I stop searching! I swear by our love!

• The Silver Surfer : I live. And... and so does the planet. You have abandoned it. Why?

  Galactus : Since the dawn of time the purpose of my life has been my continued survival. To that end have I devoted all my great power. But you, Silver Surfer, in your willingness to pay the ultimate price for the well-being of others you do not even know and demonstrated a strength and courage that even the great Galactus shall never possess. Norrin Radd, we can trust each other no more. Consider this world a parting gift.

  The Silver Surfer : You will release me? I can go?

  Galactus : You must go. And with you take the Power Cosmic. Not as my blessing, but as my curse. The power shall be like a brand, marking its bearer for all time. Let us see those for whom the Silver Surfer has been so willing to sacrifice... can never overcome their fear and hatred of you!

  The Silver Surfer : Mighty Galactus, I shall prove you wrong about the people of the universe...

  Galactus : GO! You are condemned!

• The Silver Surfer : Galactus brushed me away with as much thought as I might give a speck of dust!

• The Silver Surfer : This planet has not the time for me to argue with one who will not even deign to answer. Instead, I will have to apply the Power Cosmic more directly. Just as the power of Galactus created these engines of destruction, the power he has given me shall destroy them!

• The Silver Surfer : Zenn-La, the most beautiful place in the universe. Soon I will be in the loving arms of Shalla-Bal...

• The Silver Surfer : What has happened? Where is Zenn-La?

  Galactus : Norrin Radd, I said that you could leave me. And I have kept my word. But never did I say you could return to Zenn-La.
