About

Hancock is a down-and-out superhero who's forced to employ a PR expert to help repair his image when the public grows weary of all the damage he's inflicted during his lifesaving heroics. The agent's idea of imprisoning the antihero to make the world miss him proves successful, but will Hancock stick to his new sense of purpose or slip back into old habits?

Misunderstanding a Name in Conversation

Hancock That's a good meatball, boy.

Mary Aaron.

Hancock Momma's callin you.

Mary No, his name's Aaron.

The Ethics of Offering Free Medication

Ray We at Embrey Publicity would like to offer you the AllHeart symbol. Now you would be among a very select group of corporate giants to bear this logo on your product. And what this would say to the public is that your company, Pharmatopsis, had made a radical contribution to helping our world. And here is all you'd have to do to qualify: Your new TB drug, micadin, we would like you to give that product away, for free.

Businessman Did you say free?

Ray I did — only to those who really need it. Only to those who without it would otherwise die.

Businessman Alright. As a concept "free" is kind of up there with "lethal side effects—

Businessman 2 Mandatory product recall.

Businessman Get indicted, going to jail —

Businessman 2 Get out, work at IHOP the rest of your career—

Ray Understandable reactions — a radical concept — but it is the brand that represents a fairer and better world. The brand that everyone is talking about. ...Anyway — we can save the world. Someone's just got to go first. What do you say?

Hancock's Response to Crowd Accusations

Women You injured that poor woman.

Large man Ya, she should sue you!

Crowd Yeah!

Hancock Okay, well you should sue McDonald's cause they fucked you up.

Woman And I can smell that liquor in your breath!

Hancock Cause I been drinkin', bitch!
