Peter Parker /
[Opening narration]

It's me, Peter Parker. Your friendly neighborhood–you know. I've come a long way since I was the boy bit by a spider. Back then, nothing seemed to go right for me. Now people really like me. The city is safe and sound. Guess I had a little something to do with that. My Uncle Ben would be proud. I still go to school. Top of my class. And I'm in love, with the girl of my dreams.

Peter Parker /
[To Harry Osborn]

Listen to me! I didn't kill your father! He was trying to kill me! He killed himself!

Peter Parker /
[referring to Harry using his father's razor bats]

Hate those things!

Peter Parker /
[To Sandman]

Jig's up, pal. I guess you haven't heard. I'm the sheriff around these parts.

Peter Parker /
[Dumping sand from his boot after losing to Sandman and spitting sand out]

Where do all these guys come from? Ptoo!

Peter Parker /
[Learning Sandman is Ben's killer]

This man killed my uncle and he's still out there!

Peter Parker /
[after symbiote transformation he slept, later awakens]

Where am I? (hangs upside down and turns over the mirror of his new suit) What is this? I feel. Wow. This feels good. (trys out his new suit) This is something else.

Peter Parker /
[Hearing the news that Sandman finally appeared]

Marko. [Goes to his closets and gets his Spider-Man suit, but realizing his suit would get damage; he opens the chest and takes his new black suit instead].

Peter Parker /

See ya, chump. [to Eddie Brock after destroying his camera]

Peter Parker /
[To Sandman, corrupted by the black suit]

Remember Ben Parker?! The old man you shot down in cold blood?!?

Peter Parker /
[After Sandman is washed away]

Good riddance.

Peter Parker /
[To Mr. Ditkovich, corrupted by black suit]

You'll get your rent when you fix this DAMN DOOR!!

Peter Parker /
[After he has thrown Harry Osborn through the glass windows of his mansion]

Stings, doesn't it?

Peter Parker /
[To Harry, corrupted by the black suit]

I'm done trying to convince you.

Peter Parker /
[To Harry, corrupted by the black suit]

Look at little Goblin Jr. Gonna cry?

Peter Parker /
[To Eddie, corrupted by the black suit]

You're trash, Brock.

Peter Parker /
[To Eddie, corrupted by the black suit]

You want forgiveness? Get religion.

Peter Parker /
[Dancing around in the night club]

Now dig on this!

Peter Parker /
[Seeing Venom killing Harry]

HARRY!!!!!

Peter Parker /
[From the trailer]

I need your help. I have to stop it.

Peter Parker /
[To a dying Harry]

I should have never hurt you. Said those things.

Peter Parker /
[narrating, last lines]

Whatever comes our way... whatever battle is raging inside us, we always have a choice. My friend Harry taught me that. He chose to be the best of himself. It’s the choices that make us what we are... and we can always choose to do what's right.

Peter Parker /
[end of PS3 game, closing narration]

This should be a happy ending. I beat the villain, brought a family back together, and got the girl. But it's not that easy. Being Spider-Man always comes with a price, and today that price was a steep one. What keeps me going are my Uncle Ben's words: "With great power comes great responsibility." In the end, people need heroes. As tough as it gets some days, I have to fight on. Maybe the best way to honor the people I love... is to never stop being your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man.

Tell it to my father, raise him from the dead.

Peter Parker

I'm your friend, Harry. I care about your father.

Tell me again. Was I really good? I was so nervous, my knees were shaking.

Peter

Your knees were fine.

The applause wasn't very loud.

Peter

Yes, it was. Well, it's the acoustics. It's all about diffusion. It keeps the sound waves from grouping. You see when the sound waves, they propogate, then it–

M.J.

You are such a nerd.

Peter

Harry.

You knew this was coming, Pete. [tries to punch at Peter, who quickly moves out of the way, and gets his arm stuck in the wall]

Peter

Listen to me, I didn't kill your father! [quickly avoids another punch from Harry] He was trying to kill me, he killed himself!

[yells]

SHUT UP!

[To Eddie]

You want a staff job, [to Peter] you want a staff job. Doesn't anybody care about what I want?

Hoffman
[briefly entering]

I do.

Shut up. Get out. I want the public to see Spider-Man for the two-bit criminal he really is. He's a fake, he's full of sticcum. Catch him in the act; Spider-Man with his hand in a cookie jar. Whoever brings me that photo gets a job. Well, what are you waiting for? Chinese New Year? Go, go, go!

I'm on it, boss!

Peter
[after they both leave Jameson's office]

You'll never get that shot.

Oh, we'll see.

Spider-Man

Jig's up, pal.

Sandman

I don't wanna hurt you. Leave, now.

Spider-Man

I guess you haven't heard. I'm the sheriff around these parts.

Sandman

Okay.

Spider-Man
[fight ensues, however Sandman easily beats Spider-Man, before saving two man, as Sandman sees and flees]

Where do all these guys come from?

Peter

Okay, I'm fine. I-I don't need your help.

M.J.

Everybody needs help sometimes, Peter, even Spider-Man.

Peter

What do you think?

Dr. Connors

I've never seen anything like it. I'm a physicist, not a biologist, but I'll look at it in the morning and run some tests.

Peter

Can we do that now?

Connors
[The specimen being looked at escapes and starts moving towards Peter who, surprised, traps it in a glass]

Seems to like you. Don't let any of that get on you.

Peter

Why not?

Connors

It has the characteristics of a symbiote, which needs to bond to a host to survive. And sometimes, these things in nature, when they bind, they can be hard to unbind.

Whoa. Buddy, love the new outfit. This is exactly what I need to scoop Parker. Give me uh...give me some of that web action. [Spider-Man's web swing and crushes Eddie's camera]

Spider-Man

See ya, chump. [jumps into sewers to face Sandman]

What the HELL?! [gets another camera from his coat, taking photos, as police arrives]

Spider-Man

Flint Marko.

Sandman

What do you want from me?

Spider-Man
[playful to aggressive]

Remember Ben Parker? The old man you shot down in cold blood?!

Sandman
[visibly upset by the question, angrily responds]

What does it matter to you, anyway?!

Spider-Man
[going over the passing train and yells]

EVERYTHING!!!!!!

Mr. Ditkovich

Having trouble with the phone?

Peter

No, no. I was just trying to figure out what to say.

Mr. Ditkovich

If it is woman you are calling then you say "You are a good woman. I am good man." Hm?

[when corrupt Peter arrives at his mansion]

Would you like a drink? Tsk, I'm sorry. What was I thinking? Bad for the public image, right, Mr. Key to the City?

Peter

What did you do to her?

I did what you failed to do. I was there for her. Mary Jane and I, we understand each other.

Peter

She doesn't know what you are.

Peter, she knows me very well. And when she kissed me, it was just like she used to kiss me. The taste... [sucks in, rolls fingertips over his lips] ...Strawberries.

[Peter punches him, the battle ensues.]

How ya like that, Spidey?

Peter

That all you got?

Peter
[after punching Harry through a window]

Stings, doesn't it?

I protected you in high school, now I'm gonna kick your little ass.

Peter
[mockingly]

Ooh!

[after getting hit in the face with his glider and accidentally getting thrown by Peter at a glass shelf full of pumpkin bombs]

You gonna kill me like you killed my father?

Peter

I'm done trying to convince you.

You took him from me. He loved me.

Peter

No. He despised you. You were an embarrassment to him. [sees tears in Harry's eyes] Oh, look at little Goblin Jr. You gonna cry? [Peter knocks Harry unconscious on the wall shelf and walks away. Harry tries to throw a pumpkin bomb at Peter, but Peter throws it back at Harry's face, disfiguring it.]

[to corrupt Peter, during his promotion party in his staff position]

Well, good morning. It's a beautiful day, huh? What was that you said? I'd never get that picture? [points to his picture of Spider-Man robbing a bank] There's your hero.

Peter

Huh. I never thought he'd really do that!

See? Right there. You made a judgment call. You gotta see it as it is.

Peter

It's funny you should say that, because I was looking through some old photos and it looks very, uh... [straightens his collar] similar.

[chuckling]

Okay. Well, I gotta get back to work.

Peter

You're trash, Brock.

Excuse me?

Peter
[hurling original picture with Brock's re-edit]

Your picture's a fake.

Parker, you are such a boy scout. When are you gonna give a guy a break?

Peter
[angrily shoves him against the picture shattering the glass which attracts the attention of everyone in the room]

You want forgiveness? Get religion.

Robbie Robertson

What's going on here?

Betty Brant

Are you guys alright?

[fake chuckling]

Yeah, we're just horsing around. [quietly to Peter] Look, I'm begging you: if you do this, I will lose everything. There won't be a paper in town that'll hire me.

Peter

You should've thought of that earlier. [lets go of Eddie and walks towards Robbie]

Robbie

What are you doing, Peter?

Peter
[hands photos to Robbie]

Show this to your editor. Tell him to check his source next time.

Robbie
[In Jameson's office, Jameson looks at the fake photo Brock made and the original he faked it from] [To Jameson]

It's a fake. Empire State Photographic Department confirms it.

[To Brock, angrily]

Pack your things. Get out of my building.

I was just–

You're FIRED!

Robbie
[To Jameson, as Eddie leaves]

You know we're gonna have to print a retraction now.

I haven't printed a retraction in TWENTY YEARS!

Betty

Your shots are so good.

Peter

I'd love to shoot you sometime.

Brant
[aroused]

Peter Parker. Peter...

Parker! Miss Brant, that's not the position I hired you for.

Jazz Club Manager

Are you alright, Mary Jane?

M.J.

I'm fine.

Jazz Club Manager

Okay.

Peter

Hey.

M.J.

What's wrong with you?

Peter Parker

You.

Jazz Club Manager

Can I help you sir?

Peter

No.

Jazz Club Bouncer

Everything okay here Paul?

Peter

Yeah, everything okay here Paul?

Manager

Take him out of here.

Bouncer
[grabbing Peter's arm gently]

Let's go sir.

Peter

Take your hand off me.

Jazz Club Bouncer
[grabbing Peter's arm tight]

Now.

Peter
[angrily fights the two guys and the Jazz Club Bouncer and punches him few times]
M.J.

Peter, stop it! [Peter screams and hits Mary Jane in the face causing her fell to the ground; Peter is shocked at what he's just did] Who are you?

Peter

I don't know. [reveals his black suit in his dress suit to Mary Jane but he covers it and leaves the jazz club]

Spider-Man

Harry, I need your help. I can't take them both, not by myself.

[shows disfiguration on half of his face]

You don't deserve my help.

Spider-Man

Harry, she needs us.

Get out.

Bernard
[to Harry, upon his refusal to aid Peter]

If I may, sir. I've seen things in this house I've never spoke of.

What are you trying to tell me?

Bernard

The night your father died, I... I cleaned his wound. The blade that pierced his body came from his Glider. I-I know you're trying to defend your father's honor, but there is no question that he died by his own hand. I loved your father, as I've loved you, Harry. As your friends love you.

Peter! They're gonna kill us both.

Spider-Man

I'm gonna get you out of this.

Watch out!

Hey, Parker.

Spider-Man

My God, Eddie!

Ooh, my Spider-Sense is tingling. [grabbing Mary Jane] If you know what I'm talking about. [knocks Spider-Man down into a black web and binds his wrists to it. Eddie then removes Peter's mask]

Peter Parker

We can find a way to settle this.

You're so right. I'm thinking humiliation. Kinda like how you humiliated me. Do you remember? Do you remember what you did to me? You made me lose my girl. Now I'm gonna make you lose yours. How's that sound, tiger?

Spider-Man

You came.

Looks like just in the nick of time.

Spider-Man

A couple minutes ago wouldn't have been so bad either.

What're you gonna do?

Spider-Man
[Venom screeches as both Spider-Man and Harry turning around at Venom and Sandman, respectively]

I may need some help over here!

I'm a little busy right now! Give me your hand!

Never wound... (Eddie's face revealed) what you can't kill.

Peter

Eddie, the suit! You gotta take it off!

Oh, you'd like that, wouldn't you?

Peter

I know what it feels like. It feels good, the power, everything, but you'll lose yourself. Let it go.

[The suit slowly grasps Venom's face, as if holding onto him]

I like being bad. It makes me happy. [The suit covers his face at once, as he prepares to deliver a fatal blow]

[He activates a pumpkin grenade from Harry's glider to finish the symbiote]

Peter! What are you doing?! [Peter hurls a pumpkin grenade at a symbiote] NO! [Eddie jumps in to save symbiote]

Peter Parker

Eddie! [Runs to stop Eddie, but a pumpkin grenade explodes, killing Eddie and finally symbiote]

[Sandman was too late to aid Venom after Spider-Man kills him]

Harry.

Mary Jane.

I'm gonna get help.

No. Stay.

Sandman
[To Peter, after discovering he's Spider-Man]

I didn't want this. But I had no choice.

Peter Parker
[hostilely]

We always have a choice. You had a choice when you killed my uncle.

Sandman

My daughter was dying. I needed money. I was scared. I told your uncle all I wanted was the car. And he said to me, "Why don't you just put down the gun and go home?" I realize now he was just trying to help me. Then I saw my partner running over with the cash, and the gun was in my hand. Did a terrible thing to you. I spent a lot of nights wishing I could take it back. I'm not asking you to forgive me. I just want you to understand.

Peter Parker

I've done terrible things too.

Sandman
[looking down at the police cars and people cheering below]

I didn't choose to be this. [looks at his locket] The only thing left in me now... is my daughter.

Peter Parker

I forgive you.

Peter Parker
[Touched, Sandman turns into sand and peacefully flies away through the city; Peter approaches MJ and injured Harry.]

Hi, pal. How you doing?

Been better.

Peter Parker

We'll get you through this.

No.

Peter Parker

I should never have hurt you. Said those things.

None of that matters, Peter. You're my friend.

Peter Parker

Best friend. [Harry then succumbs]
Editor's Cut[edit]

[Alternate cut of Harry's Mansion scene.]

What took you so long?

Peter
[Turns to find Peter lounging on the sofa]

That was quite a performance today.

[Chuckles]

Well, it wasn't all a show. She did come to me.

Peter
[Rises from the sofa]

Oh, yeah, I got the story. I'm really gonna enjoy this.

Not as much as I enjoyed it when Mary Jane kissed me.

Peter

Ursula, hey, listen, about earlier...

Ursula

Don't worry about it, you're a good boy.

Peter

Thanks.
