Bill Fagerbakke: Helium, Lead

Quotes 

• Batman : [meeting the Metal Men]  And you are?

  Gold : They call me Gold.

  Iron : He's our team leader. I'm Iron.

  Lead : And I'm, uh...

  Platinum : Lead, sweetie.

  Lead : Yeah, Lead. Thanks, Platinum.

  Mercury : I'm Mercury. What's it to ya?

  Tin : And I'm, uh, just Tin.

• Iron : [sitting down in desks]  This is great.

  [Tin sits where Mercury wanted to sit] 

  Mercury : Hey, that's my chair!

  Lead : Lead love movie night.

• Hydrogen : Guess the combined power of the Gas Gang is stronger than that of you and the Metal Men.

  Batman : [flicking and throwing a lighter]  It's also more flammable.

  Helium : [knowing what's coming]  Uh-oh.

• Iron : We have to save Doc before the heat triggers the gas.

  Lead : Or we all go dead.

  Batman : The dioxide battery in my scanner could be our ticket out of here.

  Mercury : What's a little battery gonna do?

  Batman : By itself, nothing, but it holds a powerful electrical charge, and when electricity flows through iron, it creates...

  Platinum : Electromagnetism. Which will wreak havoc with this cage.

  Iron : Well, then charge me up, and let's get magnetic.

  Batman : Brace yourselves, everyone. This could get a bit rocky.

• Batman : The gas creatures have bodies.

  Helium : Please, call us the Gas Gang. And you can thank Doc for our new look.

  Doc Magnus : The accident that turned them into gaseous specters, it was my fault. I pushed them too hard. My dreams were too ambitious.

  Batman : Wrong. These so-called scientists never wanted to make the world a better place.

  Oxygen : Of course we did. A better place for us.

  Doc Magnus : I don't understand.

  Batman : After studying your files, I discovered your colleagues used your lab for their own purposes. They worked to develop a unique, hybridized gas designed for the specific purpose of triggering volcanoes.

  Doc Magnus : But why?

  Helium : Imagine what despots and dictators would pay for this gas, and its awesome ability to destroy any enemy, any country, from within.

  Batman : Only the experiment backfired.

  Helium : But it didn't fail. And in our new forms, we easily unlocked the secret formula.

  Batman : Madmen like you come in many forms, but liquid, gas, or solid, they always wind up in the same state: inert.

  Oxygen : That seems doubtful, as you've got a front-row seat to our new weapon. Just need one last teensy assist from the good doc to deliver the gas.

  Doc Magnus : Never. I'll have no part in this evil scheme.

  Helium : Sure, you will. You just need a little push.

• Doc Magnus : [narrating in a film strip]  Hello, I'm Dr. Milton Magnus. Please, call me Doc.

  Gold , Platinum , Lead , Tin , Mercury , Iron : [watching]  Hi, Doc!

  Doc Magnus : Some ten years ago, I opened this very facility dedicated to cutting-edge research in a variety of emerging fields. I recruited a team of young scientists, the best and brightest, all of whom shared my dream of wanting to make the world a better place. But then, tragedy struck.

  Lead : This part make Lead sad.

  Iron : Not gonna cry and rust again.

  Doc Magnus : There was a horrible lab accident. My trusted colleagues, our dreams, all perished. I considered shutting down the lab for good, but that would only compound the tragedy. The dream we shared would live on. Must live on. And so I embarked upon a fresh chapter of experimentation, this time in nano-robotology, and eventually were born the first prototypes of the Metal Men.

  Gold , Platinum , Lead , Tin , Mercury , Iron : [cheering]  The Metal Men! Yay!

  Doc Magnus : Gold, Iron, Lead, Tin, Mercury, and Platinum. The legacy, dreams, and visions of Magnus Laboratories would live on in these new heroes.

  Gold : [cheering as the film ends]  Play it again, Doc.

  Platinum : Just the last part.

  Lead : Where we show up.

• Doc Magnus : Carbon dioxide. Can't breathe.

  Carbon Dioxide : That's kind of the idea.

  Helium : Some helium ought to give you a lift. But maybe the good doc could use some fresh air. Oxygen.

  Oxygen : Well, gee, I don't know. Maybe someone ought to open a window.

  Hydrogen : Or better yet, a wall. Compliments of Hydrogen.

• Mercury : Temperature's normal. He's okay.

  Tin : But where's Doc?

  Batman : He's been kidnapped.

  Lead : Kidnapped?

  Gold : By who?

  Batman : Living gas. Fortunately, nitrogen has an extended half-life. We should be able to follow its trail.

• Helium : Morning, Doc.

  Doc Magnus : Who are you?

  Helium : What, you don't recognize us, Doc?

  Doc Magnus : [gasping as they take a non-corporeal human form]  The lab accident. You survived.

  Helium : If you call this surviving. In case you didn't notice, we aren't quite ourselves these days.

  Hydrogen : So pardon us if we're a little...

  [belching] 

  Hydrogen : ...gassy.

  Doc Magnus : What do you want from me?

  Helium : Just a little help from our old friend. This gas form we're in is unsustainable.

  Hydrogen : We're fading, dissipating.

  Oxygen : And soon, poof, we'll be gone with the wind.

  Doc Magnus : But, surely, there's a way to reverse the process.

  Hydrogen : What we need are bodies, you know. You made the Metal Men. Use those metallurgy skills of yours.

  Helium : You owe us. We were trying to turn your dream into a reality, and now we're living a nightmare.

  [an alarm sounds] 

  Helium : Seems we've got an intruder violating our airspace.

  Oxygen : Let's go play scarecrow. Don't let us down, Doc. Bodies. We need bodies.

• Batman : You smell that? Gas.

  Tin : Oh, sorry.

  Batman : Not you. CO2. Nitrogen. Chloroform.

  Iron : Hey, I'm rusting.

  Oxygen : Actually, the scientific term is oxidizing.

  Lead : [trying to fight the gasses off]  It's like trying to punch wind.

  Hydrogen : Except this wind can punch back.

• Helium : Hey, Batman, get a whiff of me.

  Batman : [with a high-pitched voice]  Your time will come, evildoers.

  Helium : [laughing]  That's never not funny.
