A scene from Spider-Man 2002
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?
