Page 1 of 2 Carjacker What have you done? WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!
Mary Jane He's coming back!
Spider-Man
Listen! I need you to climb down.
Mary Jane I can't.
Spider-Man
Yes, you can! [The web-slinger Spider-Man was holding on is breaking lose]
Spider-Man
M.J., you can do it. You have to. Trust me. [M.J. climbs down carefully] Hold on tight and go quickly. [The Goblin cackles as he returns] Hurry!
Mary Jane I can't! I can't do it!
Spider-Man
Hang on, Mary-Jane!
Norman Osborn As of today, Oscorp Industries has surpassed Quest Aerospace as the principal supplier to the United States military. In short, ladies and gentlemen of the Board, costs are down, revenues are up, and our stock has never been higher.
Henry Balkan Wonderful news, Norman. Wonderful. In fact, it's the reason for selling the company.
Norman Osborn [stunned]
What?
Henry Balkan Yes, Quest Aerospace is recapitalizing in the wake of the bombing; expanding. They made a tender offer we can't ignore.
Norman Osborn Why wasn't I told?
Henry Balkan The last thing they want is a power struggle with entrenched management.
Maximilian Fargas The deal is off if you come with it. The Board expects your resignation in thirty days.
Norman Osborn Oh, you can't do this to me... I-I started this company! YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I SACRIFICED?! [turns to Max Vargas] Oh, Max, please.
Maximilian Fargas Norman, the Board is unanimous. We're announcing the sale after the World Unity Festival. I'm sorry.
Henry Balkan You're out, Norman.
Norman Osborn [Defeated at first, Norman smirks as he gets an idea]
Am I?
I can't.
You can't what?
Tell you... everything. I mean, there's so much to tell.
Yeah, there's so much to tell.
I want you to know, that I will always be there for you; I will always be there to take care of you. I promise you that. I will always be your friend.
Only a friend, Peter Parker?
That's all I have to give.
I'm so sorry, Harry. I know what it's like to lose a father.
I didn't lose him. He was stolen from me. One day, Spider-Man will pay. I swear my father's grave, Spider-Man will pay. Thank God for you, Peter. You're the only family I have. [Harry and Peter hug each other, and Harry leaves]
Wrestling Promoter Now get out of here.
A hundred bucks? The ad said $3,000.
Wrestling Promoter Well, check it again, web-head. It said three grand for three minutes. And you pinned him at two. For that, I gave you a $100, and you're lucky to get that.
I need that money.
Wrestling Promoter I miss the part where that's my problem.
[Norman Osborn's Rolls-Royce arrives as a field trip from Harry and Peter's school is going on]
]
Norman [sitting next to Harry]
Why? The entrance is right there.
Dad, these are public school kids, I'm not showing up for a field trip in the Rolls.
Norman What, you want me to just trade in my car for a Jetta just because you flunked out of every private school I ever sent you to?
It wasn't for me.
Norman Of course it was. Don't ever be ashamed of who you are.
I'm not ashamed of who I am, it's just that--
Norman Just what, Harry?
Forget it.
Hi, Harry.
Norman [catches up, carrying Harry's backpack]
Harry! Won't you be needing this?
Thanks, Dad. Peter, may I introduce my father, Norman Osborn?
Norman [shaking hands with Peter]
I've heard so much about you.
Great honor to meet you, sir.
Norman Harry tells me you're quite the science whiz. You know, I'm something of a scientist myself.
I've read all your research on nanotechnology, really brilliant.
Norman [Norman pauses, surprised and impressed]
And you understood it?
Yes, I wrote a paper on it.
Norman Impressive. Your parents must be very proud.
I live with my aunt and uncle; they are proud.
Teacher Hey, you two! Let's move!
Norman [Norman and Peter shake hands again]
Hope to see you again.
Yeah, not if you're a genius. I think he wants to adopt you.
Wrestling Referee
[Peter Parker taking the stairs to the wrestling arena. Watches Bone Saw McGraw fighting the soldier man.]
One! Two! Three! That's it!
Bone Saw McGraw Who's the man?
Crowd
Bone Saw! Bone Saw! Bone Saw! Bone Saw!
Ring Announcer Ladies and gentlemen! Give it up for Bone Saw McGraw! For $3,000, is there no one here man brave enough to stay in the ring for three minutes with this titan of testosterone?! [Parker is ready with his disguise.] Who?! I know who. The Flying Dutchman!
Check-In Girl [The crowd boos, Peter goes to the Check-In station.]
Next. There's no featherweight division here small fry. Next!
Spider-Man
No, no. Sign me up.
Check-In Girl Okay. You understand the NYWL is not responsible for any injury you may and probably will sustain while participating in said event and you are indeed participating of your own free will?

Spider-Man
The Human Spider.
Ring Announcer "The Human Spider"? That's it, that's the best you got?
Spider-Man

Security Guard

[The crowd continues to boo.] Bone Saw's Bodyguard #1: Bone Saw will eat you up and spit you out, little man.
Bone Saw's Bodyguard #2: I hope you brought your mommy.
Bone Saw's Bodyguard #3: We're gonna break you! You'll need someone to cry to.
[The crowd throws the popcorn to Spider-Man] Bone Saw's Bodyguard #4: I'm gonna rip all eight of your feeble legs off one by one!
The Flying Dutchman
[Bone Saw's Bodyguards continuing taunting Spider-Man, but he sees The Flying Dutchman in pain] [groaning in pain]
Oh, my God! Oh, my legs! Oh, God! I can't feel my legs!
Crowd

KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL!
Crowd

CAGE! CAGE! CAGE! CAGE! CAGE!
Spider-Man
Hello? Guys?
Ring Announcer Will the guards please lock the cage doors at this time?
Spider-Man
[The guard lock the doors.]
Hey, listen. This is some kind of mistake. I didn't sign up for a cage match! Hey! Unlock the thing! Take the chain off!
Bone Saw McGraw [To Spider-Man]
Hey, freak show! You're going nowhere! I got you for three minutes! Three minutes of playtime.
Bone Saw McGraw [The bell rings, starting the match, Bone Saw runs and Spider-Man jumps up.]

[Spider-Man raises his arms in triumph.]
Doctor [Peter rushes down the hospital hallway and bursts into the room where Aunt May is being treated, as May cries and moans in anguish from the ordeal]
Two milligrams IV.
Nurse Get the BP.
Aunt May? Is she gonna be okay? What happened?
Nurse Yes, she's going to be okay. Look, you're gonna have to leave right now.
Those eyes! Those horrible yellow eyes!
Ben Hey, listen, Pete, we need to talk.
We can talk later.
Ben We can talk now... if you'll let me.
Well, what's so important? Why do we need to talk now?
Ben Because we haven't talked for so long, your Aunt May and I don't even know who you are anymore. You've shirked your chores, you have all those weird experiments in your room, you start fights at school–
I didn't start that fight, I told you that.
Ben Well, you sure as hell finished it.
What was I supposed to do, run away?
Ben No, you're not supposed to run away, but– Pete, look, you're changing. I know, I went through exactly the same thing at your age.
No. Not exactly.
Ben Peter… these are the years when a man changes into the man he's going to be for the rest of his life. Just be careful who you change into. This guy, Flash Thompson, he probably deserved what happened… but just because you can beat him up, doesn't give you the right to. Remember, with great power... comes great responsibility.
Are you afraid that I'm gonna turn into some kind of criminal? Quit worrying about me, okay? Something's different. I'll figure it out. Quit lecturing me, please.
Ben I don't mean to lecture, and I don't mean to preach. And I know I'm not your father-
Then stop pretending to be!
Spider-Man is all but invincible, but Parker… We can destroy him.
Norman I can't.
Betrayal must not be countenanced! Parker must be educated.
Norman What do I do?
Instruct him in the matters of loss and pain. Make him suffer, make him wish he were dead.
Norman Yes?
And then grant his wish.
Norman But how?
The cunning warrior attacks neither body nor mind.
Norman: Tell me how!
The heart, Osborn! First, we attack his heart.
Norman [sitting next to Harry]
Why? The entrance is right there.
Dad, these are public school kids. I'm not showing up for a field trip in a Rolls.
Norman What, so you want me to just trade in my car for a Jetta just because you flunked out of every private school I ever sent you to?
It wasn't for me.
Norman Of course it was. Don't ever be ashamed of who you are.
I'm not ashamed of who I am. It's just...
Norman Just what, Harry?
Forget it.
J. Jonah Jameson Spider-Man. And the Green Goblin. "The Green Goblin." You like that?
Mr. Jameson–
Jameson Made it up myself. These weirdos all got to have a name now.
Mr. Jameson, Spider-Man–
Jameson [picks up phone]
Hoffman!
Hoffman Yeah?
Jameson [sees Hoffman in the office, and hangs up the phone.]
Call the patent office, copyright the name "Green Goblin". I want a quarter every time somebody says it.
Hoffman How about "Green Meanie"? [Jameson makes a "get out" hand gesture]
Spider-Man wasn't attacking the city, he was trying to save it. That's slander.
Jameson It is not. I resent that. Slander is spoken. In print, it's libel.
You don't trust anybody, that's your problem.
Jameson I trust my barber. What are you, his lawyer? Get outta here. [throws his cigar out the window] Let him sue me, get rich like a normal person. That's what makes this country– (Huh?) [his cigar is thrown back in the window, lands in from of him, and the Green Goblin bursts through the The Daily Bugle window] (What the–?!)
[grabbing Jameson by the throat]
Jameson, you slime! Who's the photographer who takes the pictures of Spider-Man?
Jameson I don't know who he is! His stuff comes in the mail!
You're lying!
Jameson I swear!
He's the one who can take me to him!
Jameson I don't know who he is!
Spider-Man
[appears upside-down outside the window]
Set him down, tough guy.
Jameson Spider-Man! I knew you two were in this together! I--
Spider-Man
[uses his web to seal Jameson's mouth shut]
Hey, kiddo, let Mom and Dad talk for a minute, will ya?
Has he mentioned me?
Yeah.
What'd he say?
Uh... I said... he asked me what I thought about you.
And what did you say?
I said... uh... Spider-Man, I said uh... "The great thing about MJ is... when you look in her eyes and she's looking back in yours... everything... feels... not quite normal." Because you feel stronger and weaker at the same time. You feel excited and at the same time, terrified. The truth is... you don't know what you feel except you know what kind of man you want to be. It's as if you've reached the unreachable and you weren't ready for it."
You said that?
Well, something like that.
