Screenplay data
Hancock, a disheveled and alcoholic superhero, intervenes in a bank robbery, subduing the psychopathic robber Tom, but his destructive methods draw public criticism. Horus Longfellow, a meek security guard, and his wife Mary, watch news reports of Hancock's heroics, while their son Aaron is bullied at school. Hancock saves Aaron from bullies and begins to spend time with the Longfellow family, developing a close bond with Mary, who offers to cut his hair and discusses Horus's past with him. Hancock, disturbed by nightmares and his own violent tendencies, abducts Mary and takes her to the roof of a textile building, where he is confronted by police. As the building collapses, Hancock destroys the police force, and Mary is killed in the wreckage.

Horus Longfellow, Aaron Longfellow, RoheimWhat is necessary. Let me tell you something, kid. There was this infantry unit, you see... badly outnumbered. Wait, let me put it in kid terms. So you relate, OK? There's a fox, you relate? A fox and he's walking through what, the woods, the forests, right? Next thing the fox knows, he's staring down a pack of... hounds. Bloodhounds. And there's this chase, the fox's running his ass off, over boulders and through streams and, but the damn hounds are still on his tail. Finally the fox comes to this cliff, a precipice... and it's what, a seven hundred foot drop onto jagged rocks. He's in trouble 'cause the hounds are closing in and they're going to tear him to pieces. So what does he think... "I jump and I die for sure. I stay, confront them and I'll get my ass butchered." Decision time. He thinks, "stay and least I'd have something, a chance. To slip away, maybe." The fox decides to go down fighting, make a stand. Right? The hounds come. What do you think happens?
Then everything gets blurry and all of a sudden, it's not my arm that's around her and it's not my hand that's touching her and it's not even me, my body. Some guy, this good-looking guy... he looks like the Marlboro Man, only shirtless.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. My name is Tom. These are my assistants, Jerry and Jerry. Why're we doing what we're doing, you ask? We got one word to say to you folks... Recession.
His father's idea. Not his. He went through it anyway, like he had something to prove... the validation of his manhood.
Let me see your eye... I told him about the other cheek. Avoid confrontations... to turn the other cheek.
You're a security guard. You keep the state of things. It's a job. You do it. We're in the same business.
The thing to do is... to avoid them. They're no-wins. Can't-wins. You hold the anger... and move on.
No. The fox gets his ass kicked and some... I mean ripped apart by the dogs, like cheap fabric.
