Green Goblin quotes from Spider-Man (2002)

Harry

Uh, hey, could you drive us around the corner, please?

Why? The entrance is right there.

Harry

Dad, these are public school kids. I'm not showing up for a field trip in a Rolls.

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?

Harry

It wasn't for me.

Of course it was. Don't ever be ashamed of who you are.

Harry

I'm not ashamed of who I am. It's just...

Just what, Harry?

Harry

Forget it.

Somebody there?

Green Goblin

Somebody.

Who said that?

Green Goblin

Don't play the innocent with me. You've known all along.

Where are you?

Green Goblin

Follow the cold shiver running down your spine.

Green Goblin

I'm right here!

I don't understand.

Green Goblin

Did you think it was coincidence? So many good things all happening for you. All for you... Norman.

What do you want?

Green Goblin

To say what you won't. To do what you can't. To remove those in your way.

The Board Members.. You've killed them.

Green Goblin

We killed them!

We?

Green Goblin

Remember... your little accident in the laboratory?

The performance enhancers.

Green Goblin

Bingo. Me! Your greatest creation. Bringing you what you've always wanted. Power beyond your wildest dreams and its only the beginning. There's only one who could stop us. Or imagine if he could joined us. [laughing evilly]

Spider-Man. And the Green Goblin. "The Green Goblin." You like that?

Peter

Mr. Jameson–

Made it up myself. These weirdos all got to have a name now.

Peter

Mr. Jameson, Spider-Man–

Hoffman!

Yeah?

Call the patent office, copyright the name "Green Goblin". I want a quarter every time somebody says it.

How about "Green Meanie"? [Jameson makes a "get out" hand gesture]

Peter

Spider-Man wasn't attacking the city, he was trying to save it. That's slander.

It is not. I resent that. Slander is spoken. In print, it's libel.

Peter Parker

You don't trust anybody, that's your problem.

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–?!)

Green Goblin

Jameson, you slime! Who's the photographer who takes the pictures of Spider-Man?

I don't know who he is! His stuff comes in the mail!

Green Goblin

You're lying!

I swear!

Green Goblin

He's the one who can take me to him!

I don't know who he is!

Green Goblin

You are useless, you--

Set him down, tough guy.

Green Goblin

Speak of the Devil!

Spider-Man! I knew you two were in this together! I--

Hey, kiddo, let Mom and Dad talk for a minute, will ya?

Green Goblin

Sleep!

Green Goblin

Wake up, little spider, wake up. No, you're not dead... yet. Just paralyzed, temporarily. You're an amazing creature, Spider-Man. You and I are not so different.

I'm not like you. You're a murderer.

Green Goblin

Well, to each his own. I chose my path, you chose the way of the hero, and they found you amusing for a while, the people of this city, but the one thing they love more then a hero... is to see a hero fail, fall, die trying. In spite of everything you've done for them, eventually, they will hate you. Why bother?

Because... it's right.

Green Goblin

Here's the real truth. There are 8,000,000 people in this city, and those teeming masses exist for the sole purpose of lifting the few exceptional people onto their shoulders. You, me, we're exceptional. I could squash you like a bug right now, but I'm offering you a choice - join me. Imagine what we could accomplish together, what we could create... or we could destroy, cause the deaths of countless innocents in selfish battle, again and again and again, until we're both dead! Is that what you want? [jumps onto his glider] Think about it, hero!

Green Goblin

Spider-Man is all but invincible, but Parker… We can destroy him.

I can't.

Green Goblin

Betrayal must not be countenanced! Parker must be educated.

What do I do?

Green Goblin

Instruct him in the matters of loss and pain. Make him suffer, make him wish he were dead.

Yes?

Green Goblin

And then grant his wish.

But how?

Green Goblin

The cunning warrior attacks neither body nor mind.
Norman: Tell me how!

Green Goblin

The heart, Osborn! First, we attack his heart.

May

Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us– [the Green Goblin bursts through the window, laughing maniacally; screams in horror] DELIVER US...

Green Goblin

Finish it! FINISH IT!
May: FROM EVIL!!

Green Goblin

Misery, misery, misery, that's what you've chosen. I offered you friendship, and you spat in my face. [The Green Goblin beats Spider-Man up, until he kicks Spider-Man to the wall. Just as Spider-Man is about to shoot his web, the Green Goblin stops him.] You've spun your last web, Spider-Man. Had you not been so selfish, your little girlfriend's death would have been quick and painless. But now that you've really pissed me off… [sinisterly] ...I'm gonna finish her, nice and slow. [Spider-Man gets furious.] M.J. and I... We're gonna have a hell of a time. [The Green Goblin lunges his trident to stab Spider-Man, but Spider-Man stops it, and the Green Goblin flies backwards to another brick wall. Spider-Man crushes the Green Goblin with it. The Green Goblin gets up, and Spider-Man beats him up] Peter, stop! Stop! It's me. [takes off his mask, revealing Norman Osborn]

Peter

Mr. Osborn...

Peter, thank God for you.

Peter

You killed those people on that balcony.

The Goblin killed them, I had nothing to do with it. Don't–don't let him take me again! I beg you, protect me!

Peter

You tried to kill Aunt May, you tried to kill Mary Jane...

But not you. I've tried to stop it, but I couldn't stop it. I would never hurt you. [As Norman speaks, his Green Goblin persona presses the button on his suit, and his glider rises behind Peter.] I knew from the beginning. If anything ever happened to me, i–it was you that I could count on. You, Peter Parker, would save me, and so you have. Thank God for you. [Norman stands up] Give me your hand. Believe in me, as I believed in you. I've been like a father to you. Be a son to me now.

Peter

I have a father. His name was Ben Parker.

Green Goblin

Godspeed, Spider-Man.

Green Goblin

Oh.

Peter... don't tell Harry. [Norman collapses and dies, and Peter lowers his head down.]

]

Harry

Uh, you know, Charles, can we drive around the corner, please?

Why? The entrance is right there.

Harry

Dad, these are public school kids, I'm not showing up for a field trip in the Rolls.

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?

Harry

It wasn't for me.

Of course it was. Don't ever be ashamed of who you are.

Harry

I'm not ashamed of who I am, it's just that--

Just what, Harry?

Harry

Forget it.

Harry

Pete!

Peter

Hi, Harry.

Harry! Won't you be needing this?

Harry

Thanks, Dad. Peter, may I introduce my father, Norman Osborn?

I've heard so much about you.

Peter

Great honor to meet you, sir.

Harry tells me you're quite the science whiz. You know, I'm something of a scientist myself.

Peter

I've read all your research on nanotechnology, really brilliant.

And you understood it?

Peter

Yes, I wrote a paper on it.

Impressive. Your parents must be very proud.

Peter

I live with my aunt and uncle; they are proud.

Hey, you two! Let's move!

Hope to see you again.

Peter

He doesn't seem so bad.

Harry

Yeah, not if you're a genius. I think he wants to adopt you.
