Spider-Man 2/Transcript

Peter Parker/Spider-Man: She looks at me every day. Mary Jane Watson. Oh, boy. If she only knew how I felt about her. But she can never know. I made a choice once to live a life of responsibility. A life she can never be a part of. Who am I? I'm Spider-Man, given a job to do. And I'm Peter Parker, and I, too, have a job.
Mr. Aziz: Parker. Parker! No, no, no, stop! Stop! Parker, you're late, man. Always late.
Peter Parker/Spider-Man: I'm sorry, Mr. Aziz. There was a disturbance.
Mr. Aziz: Another disturbance. Always a disturbance with you. Come on, minutes ago, in comes order. Harmattan, Burton & Smith. Eight extra-large deep-dish pizzas. In eight minutes, I am defaulting on Joe's-minute guarantee. Then, not only am I receiving no money for these pizzas... but I will lose the customer forever to Pizza Yurt. Look, you are my only hope, all right? You have to make it in time. Peter, you're a nice guy. But you're just not dependable. This is your last chance. You have to go 42 blocks in 7 1/2 minutes or your ass is fired. Go!
Male Citizen: Hey, what, are you stupid?
Pizza 'Heist' Witness: Whoa! He stole that guy's pizzas!
Kid 1: I'm gonna get it!
Peter Parker/Spider-Man: Hey, you guys. No playing in the streets.
Children: Yes, Mr. Spider-Man.
Peter Parker/Spider-Man: See you.
Female Civilian: Way to go, Spidey!
Peter Parker/Spider-Man: Pizza time.
Receptionist: You're late. I'm not paying for those.
Mr. Aziz: Joe's 29 minute guarantee is a promise, man. I know to you, Parker, a promise means nothing. But to me, it's serious.
Peter Parker/Spider-Man: It's serious to me too, Mr. Aziz.
Mr. Aziz: You're fired. Go.
Peter Parker/Spider-Man: Please, I need this job.
Mr. Aziz: You're fired.
Peter Parker/Spider-Man: Look, give me another chance.
J. Jonah Jameson: You're fired. Parker, hello? You're fired!
Peter Parker/Spider-Man: Why?
J. Jonah Jameson: Dogs catching Frisbees? Pigeons in the park? A couple of geezers playin' chess?
Betty Brant: Boss!
J. Jonah Jameson: Not now.
Peter Parker/Spider-Man: Well, I was thinking maybe the Bugle could show another side of New York for a change.
Robbie Robertson: We got 6 minutes to deadline, Jonah! We need page one!
J. Jonah Jameson: Parker, I don't pay ya to be a sensitive artiste! I pay you because... Still not now! I pay you because for some reason that psycho Spider-Man'll pose for you!
Peter Parker/Spider-Man: Spider-Man won't let me take any more pictures! You've turned the whole city against him!
J. Jonah Jameson: A fact I'm very proud of! Now, get your pretty little portfolio off my desk before I go into a diabetic coma!
Betty: Boss, your wife's on the line! She said she lost your checkbook!
J. Jonah Jameson: Thanks for the good news!
Peter Parker/Spider-Man: Mr. Jameson, please, isn't there any of these shots you can use? I really need the money.
J. Jonah Jameson: Aww... Miss Brant?!?
Brant: Yes?
J. Jonah Jameson: Get me a violin!
Robbie: 5 minutes to deadline, Jonah!
J. Jonah Jameson: All right, run a picture of a rancid chicken. Here's the headline - "Food Poisoning Scare Sweeps City!"
Hoffman: Some food got poisoned?
J. Jonah Jameson: I'm a little nauseous, yah!
Peter Parker/Spider-Man: All right, Mr. Jameson.
J. Jonah Jameson: It stinks. Robbie, there's your Page 1 - "Masked Menace Terrorizes Town!"
Robbie: I told you he's not a menace!
J. Jonah Jameson: And I told you...
Robertson: I'll take care of it.
J. Jonah Jameson: I'll give you $150.
Peter Parker/Spider-Man: $300.
J. Jonah Jameson: That's outrageous! Done. Give this to the girl.
Peter Parker/Spider-Man: Thank you. Bye-bye. Hi.
Betty Brant: Hey, Pete. I don't think this covers the advance I gave you a couple weeks ago.
Peter Parker/Spider-Man: Right.
Betty Brant: Sorry. Hey. Chin up, okay?
Female Student: Watch it, jerk!
Peter Parker/Spider-Man: Dr. Connors. Sorry.
Dr, Connors: Where were you headed, Parker?
Peter Parker/Spider-Man: To your class.
Dr. Connors: My class is over. See me standing here?
Peter Parker/Spider-Man: I'm sorry. I'm trying. I wanna be here.
Dr. Connors: Then be here. Look at you, Peter. Your grades have been steadily declining. You're late for class. You always appear exhausted. Your paper on fusion is still overdue.
Peter Parker/Spider-Man: I know. I'm planning to write it on Dr. Otto Octavius.
Dr. Connors: Planning is not a major at this university. Octavius is a friend of mine. Better do your research, Parker. Get it done, or I'm failing you.
Everyone: Surprise!
Aunt May: Well, say something.
Peter Parker/Spider-Man: What's the occasion?
Aunt May: Really, Peter. It's your birthday! Whether you want to remember it or not.
Mary Jane Watson: He lives in another reality. Don't you, Pete?
Peter Parker/Spider-Man: Hi, M.J.
Mary Jane Watson: Hi.
Peter Parker/Spider-Man: Hey, buddy.
Harry Osborn: Hey.
Mary Jane Watson: Long time, no see.
Peter Parker/Spider-Man: So how's the play? I read a great review.
Mary Jane Watson: It's going fine. It's going good.
Harry Osborn: She's brilliant in it.
Mary Jane Watson: Harry sent me roses.
Harry Osborn: So where you been, pal? You don't return my calls.
Peter Parker/Spider-Man: I've been busy.
Harry Osborn: Taking pictures of Spider-Man? How's the bug these days?
Aunt May: The less you see of that man, the better. Now, let's all go into the other room and have something to eat.
Mary Jane Watson: I'll get the hors d'oeuvres.
Peter Parker/Spider-Man: So how are things going at Oscorp?
Harry Osborn: They're great. I'm head of Special Projects. We're about to make a breakthrough on fusion.
Aunt May: How lovely, Harry. Your father would be so proud, rest his soul.
Harry Osborn: Thank you. We're actually funding one of your idols, Pete. Otto Octavius.
Peter Parker/Spider-Man: I'm writing a paper on him.
Harry Osborn: You want to meet him?
Peter Parker/Spider-Man: You'd introduce me?
Harry Osborn: You bet. Octavius is gonna put Oscorp on the map... in a way my father never even dreamed of.
Aunt May: M.J., could you give me a hand?
Harry Osborn: She's waiting for you, pal.
Peter Parker/Spider-Man: What do you mean?
Harry Osborn: The way she looks at you or doesn't look at you. However you want to look at it.
Peter Parker/Spider-Man: I don't have time for girls right now.
Harry Osborn: Why, are you dead?
Peter Parker/Spider-Man: I've been kind of busy.
Harry Osborn: Taking pictures of your friend?
Peter Parker/Spider-Man: Could we get off that subject? I want us to be friends, Harry. I want us to trust each other.
Harry Osborn: Then be honest with me. If you knew who he was, would you tell me?
Peter Parker/Spider-Man: May.
Aunt May: Oh, what, Ben? Wait.
Peter Parker/Spider-Man: Aunt May.
Aunt May: Oh, my. Oh, Peter. Oh, for a second there, I thought I was years ago. Everybody's gone, aren't they? Did they have a good time?
Peter Parker/Spider-Man: I'm sure they did. You okay?
Aunt May: Of course. But you go home. And be careful. I don't like that scooter thing you drive around.
Peter Parker/Spider-Man: I'm worried about you. You're so alone. And I saw the letter from the bank.
Aunt May: Oh, my. You did? Oh, well. So? I'm a little behind. Everybody is. Anyway, I don't want to talk about it anymore. I'm tired, and you better start back home. Here, kiddo. Happy birthday. You need it more than I do.
Peter Parker/Spider-Man: No, I can't take that from you.
Aunt May: Yes, you can! You can take this money from me. For God's sake, it's not much. Now, take it! And don't you dare leave it here. Oh, I'm sorry. It's just that I miss your uncle Ben so much. Can you believe that it's two years next month since he was taken I think to myself at times... were I to face the one responsible for what happened, I'd... Oh, I don't know what I'd do. Now... you better take the rest of your cake home.
Mary Jane Watson: Hey.
Peter Parker/Spider-Man: Hey. You're still here. I saw your billboard on Bleecker.
Mary Jane Watson: Isn't it funny? I'm really kind of embarrassed.
Peter Parker/Spider-Man: Don't be. It's nice. I get to see you every day now.
Mary Jane Watson: I liked seeing you tonight, Peter.
Peter Parker/Spider-Man: Oh, boy, yeah.
Mary Jane Watson: "Oh, boy, yeah" what?
Peter Parker/Spider-Man: Nothing.
Mary Jane Watson: Do you want to say something?
Peter Parker/Spider-Man: I... was... wondering if you're still in the Village.
Mary Jane Watson: You're such a mystery. Peter.
Peter Parker/Spider-Man: What?
Mary Jane Watson: Happy birthday. I'm seeing somebody now.
Peter Parker/Spider-Man: You mean, like a boyfriend?
Mary Jane Watson: Well, like I like him. What?
Peter Parker/Spider-Man: Nothing. That's good, you know? Companionship...
Mary Jane Watson: May be more than that.
Peter Parker/Spider-Man: More?
Mary Jane Watson: I don't know.
Peter Parker/Spider-Man: I'm coming to see your play tomorrow night.
Mary Jane Watson: You're coming?
Peter Parker/Spider-Man: I'll be there.
Mary Jane Watson: Don't disappoint me.
Peter Parker/Spider-Man: I won't.
Mr. Ditkovitch: Rent.
Peter Parker/Spider-Man: Hi.
Mr. Ditkovitch: Hi. What's "hi"? Can I spend it?
Peter Parker/Spider-Man: I have a paycheck due this week and...
Mr. Ditkovitch: You're a month late again. Again.
Peter Parker/Spider-Man: I promise as soon as...
Mr. Ditkovitch: If promises were crackers, my daughter would be fat.
Peter Parker/Spider-Man: I'm really sorry, Mr. Ditkovitch. All I got is this $20 for the rest of the week.
Mr. Ditkovitch: "Sorry" doesn't pay the rent. And don't try to sneak past me. I have ears like a cat and eyes like a rodent.
Peter Parker/Spider-Man: Thanks, Mr. Ditkovitch.
Ursula: Hi, Pete.
Peter Parker/Spider-Man: Hello?
Mr. Ditkovitch: Rent?
Raymond: Doctor? Mr. Osborn's here.
Harry Osborn: Nobel Prize, Otto. Nobel Prize. And we'll all be rich.
Dr. Otto Octavius: It's not about the prizes, Harry.
Harry Osborn: But you need money. You need Oscorp.
Dr. Otto Octavius: Who do we have here?
Harry Osborn: This is my good friend I called you about. He got me through high-school science.
Peter Parker/Spider-Man: Peter Parker, sir. I'm writing a paper on you for...
Dr. Otto Octavius: I know what you're doing here... but I don't have time to talk to students now. But Oscorp pays the bills, so...
Harry Osborn: That's why I have to take off. Board meeting. But my job is done here. Got you two geniuses together. Good luck tomorrow, Otto. Nobel Prize. We'll see you in Sweden!
Dr. Otto Octavius: Interesting fellow, your friend.
Peter Parker/Spider-Man: I won't take much of your time.
Dr. Otto Octavius: Now I remember you. You're Connors' student. He tells me you're brilliant. He also tells me you're lazy.
Peter Parker/Spider-Man: I'm trying to do better.
Dr. Otto Octavius: Being brilliant's not enough, young man. You have to work hard. Intelligence is not a privilege, it's a gift. And you use it for the good of mankind.
Scientist: You want to try it back there?
Peter Parker/Spider-Man: So is that it?
Dr. Otto Octavius: Yes. My design to initiate and sustain fusion.
Peter Parker/Spider-Man: I understand you use harmonics of atomic frequencies.
Dr. Otto Octavius: Sympathetic frequencies.
Peter Parker/Spider-Man: Harmonic reinforcement?
Dr. Otto Octavius: Go on.
Peter Parker/Spider-Man: An exponential increase in energy output.
Dr. Otto Octavius: A huge amount of energy. Like a perpetual sun providing renewable power for the whole world.
Peter Parker/Spider-Man: Are you sure you could stabilize the fusion reaction?
Dr. Otto Octavius: Peter, what have we been talking about for the last hour and a half? This is my life's work. I certainly know the consequences of the slightest miscalculation.
Peter Parker/Spider-Man: I'm sorry. I didn't mean to question you.
Dr. Otto Octavius: Rosie, our new friend thinks I'm gonna blow up the city. You can sleep soundly tonight. 
Rosie Octavius: Otto's done his homework. Come to the demonstration tomorrow, and you'll see for yourself. And you need to sleep soundly tonight, Otto.
Dr. Otto Octavius: Did Edison sleep before he turned on the light? Did Marconi sleep before he turned on the radio? Did Beethoven sleep before he wrote the 5th?
Peter Parker/Spider-Man: Did Bernoulli sleep before he found the curves of quickest descent?
Dr. Otto Octavius: Rosie, I love this boy.
Rosie Octavius: Peter, tell us about yourself. Do you have a girlfriend?
Peter Parker/Spider-Man: Well... I don't really know.
Dr. Otto Octavius: Well, shouldn't you know? I mean, who would know?
Rosie Octavius: Leave him alone. Maybe it's a secret love.
Dr, Otto Octavius: Love should never be a secret. If you keep something as complicated as love stored up inside... gonna make you sick.
I finally got lucky in love.
We both did.
But it's hardly perfect.
You have to work at it.
I met him on the college steps,
and I knew it wasn't going to be easy.
He was studying science,
and I was studying English literature.
That's right. I was trying to explain
the theory of relativity.
 
 
And Rosie was trying
to explain T.S. Eliot.
I still don't understand
what he was talking about.
 
 
- Yes, you do.
- I'm serious.
T.S. Eliot is more complicated
than advanced science.
But if you want to get a woman to fall
in love with you, feed her poetry.
Poetry.
Never fails.
A tall and slender maiden
All alone upon a prairie
Brightest green were all her garments
And her hair was like the sunshine
Day by day he gazed upon her
Rent!
Where is my money?!
 
 
You seem jittery tonight.
 
 
You never know who's coming.
 
 
Ladies, five minutes. Five minutes.
 
 
How'd you do that?
 
 
Work out, plenty of rest.
 
 
You know, eat your green vegetables.
 
 
That's what my mom is always saying.
I just never actually believed her.
 
 
Come on. Go.
 
 
Keep it steady.
 
 
It's a web.
 
 
Go, Spidey, go!
 
 
We got trouble!
 
 
Get me down!
 
 
I am more than content
with what Mr. Moncrieff said.
 
 
His voice alone inspires one
with absolute credulity.
 
 
Then you think we should
forgive them?
 
 
Yes.
 
 
I mean, no.
 
 
Hey. Hey. Hey, chief.
You park there, I'm towing it.
 
 
Whatever.
 
 
Shoelace.
 
 
You might want to...
 
 
- Can I help you?
- Yeah, I've come to see the show.
 
 
Oh, I'm sorry, sir. No one will be
seated after the doors are closed.
 
 
It helps maintain the illusion.
 
 
Miss Watson, she's a friend of mine.
She asked me to come.
 
 
But not to come late.
 
 
I have to see this show.
Just let me in, I'll stand in the...
 
 
A Spider-Man
A Spider-Man
 
 
A-does whatever a spider can
 
 
A-spins a web, any size
 
 
Catches thieves a-just like flies
 
 
Look out
Here comes the Spider-Man
 
 
You sure you don't wanna
come tonight?
 
 
Yeah, I'm sure.
 
 
- Okay. Call me.
- I will.
 
 
- You were great tonight.
- Thanks.
 
 
May I have an autograph,
please, miss?
 
 
What are you doing here?
 
 
You hungry?
 
 
Starved.
 
 
What was that?
 
 
Okay.
 
 
Cool Spidey outfit.
 
 
Thanks.
 
 
Where'd you get it?
 
 
I made it.
 
 
Looks uncomfortable.
 
 
Yeah, it gets kind of itchy.
 
 
And it rides up in the crotch
a little bit too.
 
 
Hi. It's me.
Sing your song at the beep.
 
 
Hi, M.J.
 
 
This is Peter.
 
 
I was on my way to your show and...
 
 
Well, I was on my bike...
 
 
Are you there?
 
 
I really was planning on it all day.
 
 
And...
 
 
...I know you predicted
I'd disappoint you.
 
 
Bingo.
 
 
It's amazing, isn't it?
 
 
How complicated a simple thing...
 
 
...like being someplace at : 
can become.
 
 
Actually, there was
this obnoxious usher.
 
 
Somebody has to talk
to that usher, M.J.
 
 
Your time has expired.
 
 
Please deposit cents
for the next five minutes.
 
 
I wanna tell you the truth.
 
 
Here it is.
 
 
I'm Spider-Man.
 
 
Weird, huh?
 
 
Now you know
why I can't be with you.
 
 
If my enemies found out about you...
 
 
...if you got hurt,
I could never forgive myself.
 
 
I wish I could tell you
how I feel about you.
 
 
Ladies and gentlemen...
 
 
...my wife Rosie and I would like to
welcome you this afternoon.
 
 
But first, before we start...
 
 
...has anybody lost a large roll
of -dollar bills in a rubber band?
 
 
Because we found the rubber band.
 
 
It's a terrible joke.
 
 
But thank you for coming.
 
 
Today...
 
 
...you will witness the birth
of a new fusion-based energy source.
 
 
Safe, renewable energy
and cheap electricity for everyone.
 
 
And now let me introduce
my assistants.
 
 
These four actuators were
developed and programmed...
 
 
...for the sole purpose of creating
successful fusion.
 
 
They are impervious to heat
and magnetism.
 
 
These smart arms are controlled
by my brain through a neural link.
 
 
Nanowires feed directly
into my cerebellum...
 
 
...allowing me to use these arms
to control fusion reaction...
 
 
...in an environment
no human hand could enter.
 
 
Doctor, if the artificial intelligence
in the arms...
 
 
...is as advanced as you suggest...
 
 
...couldn't that make you
vulnerable to them?
 
 
How right you are.
 
 
Which is why I developed
this inhibitor chip...
 
 
...to protect
my higher brain function.
 
 
It means I maintain control of these
arms, instead of them controlling me.
 
 
And now on to the main event.
 
 
Give me the blue light, Rosie.
 
 
Precious tritium is the fuel
that makes this project go.
 
 
There's only pounds of it
on the whole planet.
 
 
I'd like to thank Harry Osborn and
Oscorp Industries for providing it.
 
 
Happy to pay the bills, Otto.
 
 
Ladies and gentlemen...
 
 
...fasten your seat belts.
 
 
Doctor, we have
a successful fusion reaction.
 
 
This is a breakthrough
beyond your father's dreams.
 
 
Thank you.
 
 
We're producing
a thousand-megawatt surplus.
 
 
The power of the sun...
 
 
...in the palm of my hand.
 
 
Keep calm! It's only a spike!
 
 
lt'll soon stabilize!
 
 
Ladies and gentlemen,
please clear the room.
 
 
We have a containment breach!
 
 
Otto, please get back!
 
 
Shut it off, Otto! Shut it off!
 
 
It will stabilize! It's under control!
 
 
I'm in charge here!
 
 
It's my money! I'm in con...
 
 
This doesn't change anything.
 
 
- What are you doing?
- Pulling the plug.
 
 
No!
 
 
Rosie!
 
 
Watch it.
 
 
That was too close.
 
 
If he had more than a drop of tritium,
he could have destroyed the city.
 
 
I'm ruined.
 
 
I have nothing left,
except Spider-Man.
 
 
He saved your life, sir.
 
 
He humiliated me by touching me.
 
 
The press will be here soon.
I suggest we move on.
 
 
What was he doing here anyway?
 
 
Molten metal penetrated
the spinal cavity...
 
 
...and fused the vertebrae
at multiple points...
 
 
...including the lamina
and the roof of the spinal column.
 
 
We won't know the extent of
the damage until we get in there.
 
 
I suggest we cut off these mechanical
arms, slice up the harness...
 
 
...and, if need be,
consider a laminectomy...
 
 
...with posterior spinal fusion
from C -T to T .
 
 
We're ready, doctor.
 
 
Anybody here take shop class?
 
 
Help me! Help me!
 
 
No!
 
 
It's all over town, Robbie.
Gossip. Rumors.
 
 
Panic in the streets, if we're lucky.
 
 
Crazy scientist turns himself
into some kind of a monster.
 
 
Four mechanical arms welded
right onto his body.
 
 
Guy named Otto Octavius winds up
with eight limbs. What are the odds?
 
 
Hoffman!
 
 
What are we gonna call this guy?
 
 
- "Dr. Octopus."
- That's crap.
 
 
- "Science Squid"?
- Crap!
 
 
- "Dr. Strange."
- That's pretty good.
 
 
But it's taken.
Wait, wait! I got it. "Dr. Octopus."
 
 
- I like it.
- Of course you do.
 
 
Dr. Octopus. New villain in town.
"Doc Ock."
 
 
- Genius.
- What, are you looking for a raise?
 
 
Get out.
 
 
Chief, I found Parker.
 
 
Where you been?
Why don't you pay your phone bill.
 
 
Mad scientist goes berserk,
we don't have pictures!
 
 
I heard Spider-Man was there.
 
 
Where were you?
Photographing squirrels? You're fired.
 
 
Chief, the planetarium party.
 
 
You're un-fired.
I need you, come here.
 
 
What do you know
about high society?
 
 
- Oh. Well, l...
- Don't answer that.
 
 
My society photographer got hit in the
head by a polo ball. You're all I got.
 
 
Big party for an American hero.
My son, the astronaut.
 
 
Could you pay me in advance?
 
 
You serious? Pay you for what?
Standing there?
 
 
The planetarium, tomorrow night,
 : . There's the door.
 
 
My Rosie's dead.
 
 
My dream is dead.
 
 
And these...
 
 
...monstrous things should be
at the bottom of the river...
 
 
...along with me.
 
 
Something...
 
 
...in my head.
 
 
Something talking.
 
 
The inhibitor chip!
 
 
Gone.
 
 
Rebuild.
 
 
No.
 
 
Peter was right.
 
 
I miscalculated.
 
 
I couldn't have miscalculated.
 
 
It was working, wasn't it?
 
 
Yes.
 
 
We could rebuild.
Enlarge the containment field.
 
 
Make it bigger
and stronger than ever.
 
 
But we need money.
 
 
Steal it?
 
 
No, no, no, I'm not a criminal.
 
 
That's right.
 
 
The real crime would be not to finish
what we started.
 
 
We'll do it here.
 
 
The power of the sun
in the palm of my hand.
 
 
Nothing will stand in our way.
 
 
Nothing!
 
 
- That's the social security.
- Yes, I see.
 
 
My uncle Ben's life insurance.
 
 
Yes, but I'm afraid...
 
 
...it's just not sufficient
to refinance your home.
 
 
Oh, but I'm giving
piano lessons again.
 
 
You are?
 
 
We appreciate
that you've just opened up...
 
 
...a new supersaver account
with us today.
 
 
But the fact is...
 
 
...you do not have the assets
to justify this loan. I'm sorry.
 
 
Well...
 
 
At least we get the toaster.
 
 
Actually, that's only
with a deposit of or more.
 
 
Oh, yes, I see.
 
 
Okay.
 
 
Don't worry, we'll figure it out.
 
 
Peter?
 
 
Don't leave me.
 
 
Oh, that boy of yours is a real hero.
 
 
Hold it!
 
 
Put your arms up! All of them!
 
 
Here's your change!
 
 
Oh, no. Come on!
 
 
- You're getting on my nerves.
- I have a knack for that.
 
 
Not anymore.
 
 
- Freeze! Don't move!
- Freeze!
 
 
- Hold your fire!
- Don't follow me.
 
 
Wait a second.
 
 
- Hand her over.
- Of course.
 
 
Easy, now.
 
 
Butterfingers.
 
 
Look out!
 
 
Help me!
 
 
- Help me!
- I'm coming!
 
 
Hang on!
 
 
Help!
 
 
Thank you.
 
 
Aunt May.
 
 
You've stuck your webs
in my business for the last time.
 
 
Now you'll have this woman's death
on your conscience.
 
 
Come on.
 
 
Shame on you.
 
 
There you go.
 
 
Thank you.
Oh, have I been wrong about you.
 
 
We sure showed him.
 
 
What do you mean, "we"?
 
 
- Take me with you, Spider-Man.
- Take me.
 
 
- May I?
- Sure. Go ahead.
 
 
Penny! Over here!
 
 
Leave it.
 
 
Hey. Might wanna take it easy, buddy.
 
 
Why? It's a party.
 
 
Wouldn't you be drinking if you lost
a bundle on some crackpot...
 
 
...who you thought was gonna take
you with him to fame and fortune?
 
 
Not to mention your friend the bug.
 
 
Not tonight, Harry.
 
 
Every night!
Until I find him, it's - .
 
 
Parker!
 
 
Parker!
 
 
Parker! What, are you deaf?
I called you twice.
 
 
Think I'm paying you
to sip champagne?
 
 
Get a shot of my wife
with the minister.
 
 
Beautiful tie.
 
 
Get a shot of us with the DA.
 
 
Beautiful dress.
 
 
Here, get a shot of the mayor
and his girlfriend.
 
 
Wife.
 
 
Ladies and gentlemen,
good evening.
 
 
The committee for
the Science Library of New York...
 
 
...is pleased to present
our guest of honor.
 
 
He's the first man to play football
on the moon.
 
 
The handsome, the heroic,
the delicious...
 
 
...Captain John Jameson.
 
 
Hi.
 
 
- You.
- Listen, I'm sorry.
 
 
But there was a disturbance.
 
 
I don't know you.
 
 
And I can't keep thinking about you.
It's too painful.
 
 
I've been reading poetry lately.
 
 
Whatever that means.
 
 
Day by day he gazed upon her
 
 
Day by day he sighed with passion
Day by day...
 
 
Don't start.
 
 
Can I get you a drink?
 
 
I'm with John. He'll get me my drink.
 
 
John.
 
 
By the way, John has seen
my show five times.
 
 
Harry has seen it twice.
Aunt May has seen it.
 
 
My sick mother got out of bed to see it.
 
 
Even my father.
 
 
He came backstage to borrow cash.
 
 
But my best friend,
who cares so much about me...
 
 
...can't make an : curtain.
 
 
After all these years...
 
 
...he's nothing to me
but an empty seat.
 
 
It pisses me off, your loyalty to
Spider-Man and not to your best friend.
 
 
I find him with my father's body,
and you defend him.
 
 
- Take it easy.
- Don't push me.
 
 
Don't act like you're my friend.
 
 
You stole M.J. from me.
 
 
You stole my father's love.
 
 
Then you let him die because you
didn't turn in the freak. Isn't that right?
 
 
Huh? Isn't that right?
 
 
Huh, brother?
 
 
Ladies and gentlemen,
I just want you all to know...
 
 
...that the beautiful Miss Mary Jane
Watson has just agreed to marry me.
 
 
What a surprise.
 
 
Parker, wake up! Wake up!
Shoot the picture!
 
 
Oh, no. No!
 
 
Why is this happening to me?
 
 
You seem very okay to me.
 
 
My diagnosis?
 
 
It's up here.
 
 
You say you can't sleep.
Heartbreak? Bad dreams?
 
 
There is one dream where...
 
 
...in my dream...
 
 
...l'm Spider-Man.
 
 
But I'm losing my powers.
I'm climbing a wall, but I keep falling.
 
 
So you're Spider-Man.
 
 
In my dream.
 
 
Actually, it's not even my dream.
It's a friend of mine's dream.
 
 
Somebody else's dream.
 
 
What about this friend?
 
 
Why does he climb these walls?
What does he think of himself?
 
 
That's the problem.
He doesn't know what to think.
 
 
Gotta make you mad not to know
who you are. Your soul disappears.
 
 
Nothing as bad as uncertainty.
 
 
Listen...
 
 
...maybe you're not supposed to be
Spider-Man climbing those walls.
 
 
That's why you keep falling.
 
 
You always have a choice, Peter.
 
 
I have a choice.
 
 
All the things you've
been thinking about, Peter...
 
 
...make me sad.
 
 
Can't you understand?
 
 
I'm in love with Mary Jane.
 
 
Peter, all the times
we've talked of honesty...
 
 
...fairness, justice...
 
 
Out of those times,
I counted on you to have the courage...
 
 
...to take those dreams
out into the world.
 
 
I can't live your dreams anymore.
 
 
I want a life of my own.
 
 
You've been given a gift, Peter.
 
 
With great power
comes great responsibility.
 
 
Take my hand, son.
 
 
No, Uncle Ben.
 
 
I'm just Peter Parker.
 
 
I'm Spider-Man...
 
 
...no more.
 
 
No more.
 
 
No more.
 
 
- You punk!
- Sorry.
 
 
- Thanks.
- You're welcome.
 
 
Hurry up!
 
 
And when the borderline is tau
equals zero, the eigenvalues are...?
 
 
Someone, please?
 
 
. electron volts.
 
 
Excellent work today, Parker.
Keep it up.
 
 
I'm not really wicked at all.
You mustn't think that I'm wicked.
 
 
I'm not really wicked at all.
You mustn't think that I'm wicked.
 
 
If you are not, then you have
certainly been deceiving us all...
 
 
...in a very inexcusable manner.
 
 
I hope you have not been
leading a double life...
 
 
...pretending to be wicked
and being really good all the time.
 
 
That would be hypocrisy.
 
 
Of course, I have been
rather reckless.
 
 
"I am glad."
 
 
"I am glad."
 
 
"I am glad."
 
 
Are you glad to hear it?
 
 
I am glad...
 
 
...to hear it.
 
 
In fact, now you mention
the subject...
 
 
...I have been very bad
in my own small way.
 
 
You were so wonderful.
That was such a great play.
 
 
You could've told me
you were coming.
 
 
I was afraid you'd say,
"Don't come."
 
 
You look different.
 
 
I shined my shoes, pressed my pants,
did my homework.
 
 
I do my homework now.
 
 
You wanna get some chow mein?
 
 
Peter...
 
 
...l'm getting married.
 
 
I always imagined you
getting married on a hilltop.
 
 
And who's the groom?
 
 
You hadn't decided yet.
 
 
You think just because
you saw my play...
 
 
...you can talk me out
of getting married?
 
 
You once told me you loved me.
I let things get in the way before.
 
 
There was something I thought
I had to do. I don't have to.
 
 
You're too late.
 
 
Will you think about it?
 
 
Think about what?
 
 
Picking up where we left off.
 
 
Where was that?
 
 
We never got on.
You can't get off if you don't get on.
 
 
I don't think it's that simple.
 
 
Of course you don't,
because you complicate things.
 
 
You don't understand.
 
 
I'm not an empty seat anymore.
 
 
I'm different.
 
 
Punch me, I bleed.
 
 
I have to go.
 
 
I'm getting married in a church.
 
 
You are different.
 
 
Dear, we agreed to put on a wedding,
not go into bankruptcy.
 
 
Caviar?
What, are we inviting the czar?
 
 
Get some cheese and crackers,
some of those little cocktail weenies.
 
 
I got a garbage man here says he's
got something you might want to see.
 
 
If you have an extraterrestrial's head in
there, you're the third guy this week.
 
 
Where the hell did you get that?
 
 
In the garbage.
 
 
In the garbage?
 
 
He must've given up.
 
 
Thrown in the towel.
Abandoned his sad little masquerade.
 
 
I finally got to him.
The power of the press triumphs.
 
 
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now, look, I think
I deserve a little something for this.
 
 
- Give you bucks.
- I could get more than that on eBay.
 
 
All right, . Give this man his
money and throw in a bar of soap.
 
 
Your wife is still on that line.
 
 
Flowers? How much?
 
 
You spend any more on this thing,
you can pick the daisies off my grave.
 
 
Get plastic.
 
 
Gotta go, big story.
 
 
Spider-Man
Spider-Man
 
 
Where have you gone to
Spider-Man?
 
 
Where have you gone to
Spider-Man?
 
 
Come on, man. Get the money.
 
 
Come on, come on.
 
 
Help!
 
 
Come on!
 
 
It wasn't fair to have gone like that.
 
 
He was a peaceful man.
 
 
And it was all my doing.
 
 
Aunt May.
You don't have to punish yourself.
 
 
Oh, I know I shouldn't.
 
 
It's just that you wanted
to take the subway...
 
 
...and he wanted to drive you.
 
 
If only I had stopped him.
 
 
We'd all three of us
be having tea together.
 
 
I'm responsible.
 
 
For what?
 
 
For what happened to Uncle Ben.
 
 
But you were at the library.
 
 
You were doing your homework.
 
 
He drove me to the library,
but I never went in.
 
 
What do you mean?
 
 
I went someplace else.
 
 
Someplace where I thought
I could win some money...
 
 
...to buy a car, because I wanted...
 
 
...to impress Mary Jane.
 
 
It happened so fast.
 
 
I won the money, and the guy
wouldn't pay me. Then he got robbed.
 
 
The thief...
 
 
...was running towards me.
 
 
I could've stopped him,
but I wanted...
 
 
...revenge.
 
 
I let him go.
 
 
I let him get away.
 
 
He wanted a car.
 
 
He tried to take Uncle Ben's.
 
 
Uncle Ben said no...
 
 
...and then he shot him.
 
 
Uncle Ben was killed that night...
 
 
...for being the only one
who did the right thing.
 
 
And I...
 
 
I held his hand...
 
 
...when he died.
 
 
I've tried to tell you so many times.
 
 
Just one more little chore.
 
 
Where are you?
 
 
- I'm leaving for the night, sir.
- Fine.
 
 
Your father only obsessed
over his work.
 
 
Good night, Bernard.
 
 
Hello, Harry.
 
 
Otto. What do you want?
 
 
That precious tritium.
 
 
But I need more of it this time.
 
 
More tritium, are you crazy?
You'll destroy the city! You're a hack!
 
 
Hey! Hey!
 
 
Stop! Stop! All right!
 
 
All right, all right, all right.
Put me down. We'll make a deal.
 
 
Kill Spider-Man,
I'll give you all the tritium you need.
 
 
On second thought,
bring him to me alive.
 
 
How do I find him?
 
 
- Peter Parker.
- Parker?
 
 
He takes pictures of Spider-Man
for the Bugle.
 
 
Make him tell you where he is.
 
 
Have it ready.
 
 
Don't hurt Peter!
 
 
Somebody, help!
 
 
Fire!
 
 
Alisa, the Chens can't find their
daughter. Have you seen her?
 
 
Somebody call the fire department!
Help!
 
 
- Help!
- Is anybody in that building?
 
 
We think there's a kid
stuck on the second floor.
 
 
Hey, where you going?!
 
 
I'm coming!
 
 
It's okay. It's okay. Come here.
I'm gonna get you out of here.
 
 
Come on. Come on.
 
 
Mama.
 
 
You got some guts, kid.
 
 
Some poor soul got trapped
on the fourth floor. Never made it out.
 
 
Oh, man.
 
 
All right, Billy, let's knock it down
and roll them up. Get on out of here.
 
 
Let's pick it up! Let's get all this
equipment, let's go! Let's move it!
 
 
Am I not supposed to have
what I want?
 
 
What I need?
 
 
What am I supposed to do?
 
 
I shouldn't have without...
 
 
...knocking.
 
 
Come in.
 
 
- Hi.
- Hi.
 
 
Would you like a piece
of chocolate cake?
 
 
Okay.
 
 
And a glass of milk?
 
 
That would be nice.
 
 
Okay.
 
 
Thank you.
 
 
You got a message.
 
 
It's your aunt.
 
 
Thanks.
 
 
What's going on?
 
 
Oh, they gave me another few weeks,
but I decided the hell with it.
 
 
I'm moving on.
I found a small apartment.
 
 
Why didn't you tell me?
 
 
I'm quite able
to take care of things myself.
 
 
And Henry Jackson across
the street is giving me a hand...
 
 
...and I'm giving him $ .
 
 
That's Henry Jackson?
 
 
Yes. It's funny what happens
in two years.
 
 
Nine years old, has great ambitions.
 
 
Listen, about my last visit...
 
 
Pish-posh, we needn't talk about it.
 
 
It's water over the dam or under
the bridge or wherever you like it.
 
 
But you made a brave move
in telling me the truth.
 
 
And I'm proud of you.
 
 
And I thank you, and I...
 
 
I love you, Peter.
 
 
So very, very much.
 
 
Hey. Where are all my comic books?
 
 
Those dreadful things?
I gave those away.
 
 
- I put the pans in the box, Mrs. Parker.
- Thank you, Henry.
 
 
- Hi, Peter.
- Hey, Henry.
 
 
You're getting tall.
 
 
Henry, why don't you put those
cookbooks in with the mixer.
 
 
Okay. You take
Spider-Man's pictures, right?
 
 
I used to.
 
 
Where is he?
 
 
Henry and I agree. We don't see
his picture in the paper anymore.
 
 
He...
 
 
...quit.
- Why?
 
 
Wanted to try other things.
 
 
He'll be back, right?
 
 
I don't know.
 
 
You'll never guess
who he wants to be.
 
 
Spider-Man.
 
 
- Why?
- He knows a hero when he sees one.
 
 
Too few characters out there,
flying around like that...
 
 
...saving old girls like me.
 
 
And Lord knows,
kids like Henry need a hero.
 
 
Courageous, self-sacrificing people...
 
 
...setting examples for all of us.
 
 
Everybody loves a hero.
 
 
People line up for them.
Cheer them. Scream their names.
 
 
And years later, they'll tell how
they stood in the rain for hours...
 
 
...just to get a glimpse of the one...
 
 
...who taught them to hold on
a second longer.
 
 
I believe there's a hero in all of us...
 
 
...that keeps us honest...
 
 
...gives us strength...
 
 
...makes us noble...
 
 
...and finally allows us to die
with pride.
 
 
Even though sometimes
we have to be steady...
 
 
...and give up the thing
we want the most.
 
 
Even our dreams.
 
 
Spider-Man did that for Henry...
 
 
...and he wonders where he's gone.
 
 
He needs him.
 
 
Do you think you could lift that desk
and put it into the garage for me?
 
 
But don't strain yourself.
 
 
Okay.
 
 
Strong focus on what I want.
 
 
I'm back!
 
 
I'm back!
 
 
My back.
 
 
My back.
 
 
Honey, you sure you don't want to
invite your friend, the photographer?
 
 
Peter Parker?
 
 
Positive.
 
 
Thought he was your pal.
 
 
- Peter Parker?
- Yeah.
 
 
He's just a great big jerk.
 
 
The world's full of great big jerks.
 
 
You're adorable.
 
 
It's just the uniform.
 
 
Lean your head back for me.
 
 
- Put my head back?
- Yeah, just do it.
 
 
Just put my head back?
 
 
Okay.
 
 
Wow.
I'm back on the moon.
You up there with me?
- Hiya.
- Surprised?
Very.
Thanks for coming.
Everything okay?
You might say so.
This is funny.
I'm not sure how to begin.
You know how our minds
play tricks on us.
- Tell me about it.
- Well, mine did a real number on me.
Some part of me heard what you
had to say after the show that night...
that you were different.
But I didn't want to listen.
I was afraid to trust you.
But I've been thinking about it...
Listen, there's more for me to say.
I maybe rushed into things.
I thought...
Wait a minute.
What are you saying?
I'm saying...
I thought I could be there for you,
Mary Jane...
but I can't.
My mind was playing tricks too.
Do you love me, or not?
I...
don't.
You don't.
Kiss me.
Kiss you?
I need to know something.
Just one kiss.
What's happening?
Peter Parker...
and the girlfriend.
What do you want?
I want you to find your friend
Spider-Man.
Tell him to meet me
at the Westside Tower at : .
I don't know where he is.
Find him.
Or I'll peel the flesh off her bones.
If you lay one finger on her...
You'll do what?
Still no word on the whereabouts
of your son's fiancée.
Sorry, Jonah.
It's all my fault.
I drove Spider-Man away.
He was the only one who could've
stopped Octavius.
Yes.
Spider-Man was a hero.
I just couldn't see it.
He was a...
A thief! A criminal!
He stole my suit!
He's a menace to the entire city!
I want that wall-crawling
arachnid prosecuted!
I want him strung up by his web!
I want Spider-Man!
Where is she?
Oh, she'll be just fine. Let's talk.
What the hell?
You have a train to catch.
Help!
Help! Help! I can't stop it!
The brakes are gone!
- It's Spider-Man.
- Oh, my God, this is it!
Tell everyone to hang on!
Brace yourselves!
Any more bright ideas?
I got a few, yeah!
Whoa, watch out!
We're slowing down.
Nice and easy, we'll go down.
Slower. Gently.
Is he alive?
He's...
just a kid.
No older than my son.
It's all right.
We found something.
We won't tell nobody.
It's good to have you back,
Spider-Man.
He's mine!
You want to get to him,
you got to go through me.
And me.
Me too.
Very well.
Where do you want him?
And the tritium?
Yes.
If only I could cause you the pain
that you've caused me.
First we'll see who's behind the mask.
I can look into your eyes as you die.
Pete.
No.
It can't be.
Harry.
Where is she?
Where is he keeping her?
- He's got M.J.
- No. All he wanted was the tritium.
Tritium?
He's making the machine again.
When that happens, she'll die,
along with half of New York.
- Now, where is he?
- Peter... you killed my father.
There are bigger things
happening here than me and you.
Harry, please, I've got to stop him.
Hey!
Hey!
I'm talking to you!
You got what you needed for your little
science project, now let me go.
I can't let you go,
you'd bring the police.
Not that anybody could stop me
now that Spider-Man's dead.
He's not dead.
- I don't believe you.
- Believe it.
Surprise.
As soon as you get free...
I should have known Osborn
wouldn't have the spine to finish you!
Shut it down, Ock. You're going
to hurt a lot more people this time.
Well, that's a risk
we're willing to take.
Well, I'm not.
Hang on, Mary Jane!
Run!
Let's see you scurry out of this.
Now what?
Dr. Octavius.
We have to shut it down.
Please tell me how.
Peter Parker?
"Brilliant but lazy."
Look at what's happening.
We must destroy it.
I can't destroy it.
I won't.
You once spoke to me
about intelligence.
That it was a gift to be used
for the good of mankind.
A privilege.
These things have turned you
into something you're not.
Don't listen to them.
It was my dream.
Sometimes, to do what's right,
we have to be steady...
and give up the thing
we want the most.
Even our dreams.
You're right.
He's right.
Listen.
Listen to me now.
Listen to me now.
Now, tell me how to stop it.
It can't be stopped.
It's self-sustaining now.
- Think!
- Unless...
The river.
Drown it.
I'll do it.
No!
Hi.
Hi.
This is really heavy.
M.J.
In case we die...
You do love me.
I do.
Even though you said you didn't.
I will not die a monster.
I think I always knew...
all this time...
who you really were.
Then you know
why we can't be together.
Spider-Man will always have enemies.
I can't let you take that risk.
I will...
always be Spider-Man.
You and I can never be.
Mary Jane!
[A troubled Harry holds his unused dagger in his hands, and broods over the revelations revealed to him. A door swings open, and he suddenly hears a cackling laugh...]
Harry Osborn: Hello? [he takes a few steps and then hears a noise]
Green Goblin: Son... [Harry looks around; in a mirror] I'm here.
Harry: Dad? I thought you were...
Green Goblin: No. I'm alive in you, Harry. You swore to make Spider-Man pay... now make him pay.
Harry: But Pete's my best friend!
Green Goblin: [serious] And I'm your father. You're weak. You were always weak and you will always be weak until you take control! [calmly] Now you know the truth about Peter. Be strong Harry. Avenge me.
Harry: No...
Green Goblin: AVENGE ME!!!
Harry: NO!
[Harry hurls the dagger at the mirror, smashing it. Within it, he discovers, lies a secret room. To his shock, he discovers the Goblin mask, shelves of pumpkin bombs, tubes of green elixir, the glider and finally understands it all...]
J. Jonah Jameson: Call Deborah.
Joan Jameson: The caterer?
J. Jonah Jameson: Tell her not to open the caviar.
[At Long Last, Love by Danny Elfman plays.]
Mary Jane: I had to do what I had to do.
Peter Parker: Mary Jane.
Mary Jane: Peter... I can't survive without you....
Peter Parker: You shouldn't be here.
Mary Jane: I know you think we can't be together, but... can't you respect me enough to let me make my own decision?
Mary Jane: I know there'll be risks, but...I want to face them with you!
Mary Jane: It's wrong that we should only be half-alive...
Mary Jane: ...half of ourselves.
Mary Jane: I love you.
Mary Jane: So here I am, standing in your doorway... I've always been standing in your doorway.
Mary Jane: Isn't it about time somebody saved your life?
Mary Jane: Well, say something.
Peter Parker: Thank you, Mary Jane Watson...
[...and then they kiss.]
[But then...they are interrupted by the sounds of police sirens in the background.]
[However, now that she knows who she is...she gives Peter the following words of encouragement:]
Mary Jane: Go get 'em, tiger.
[...to which he is quick to accept as he gets on his suit off-screen...]
[...]
[...and swings out of his apartment in a blazing glory, with Mary Jane watching from the balcony like a princess watching her knight depart for yet another adventure.]
[The final part of At Long Last, Love by Danny Elfman plays as the movie's final swing begins.]
Peter Parker: WOOO!
Peter Parker: HOHOOO!!!
[...]
[...this being the happiest moment of his life, the helicopters and the firefighters soon follow him, more than proving that fact as he swings off into the sunset.]
[...]
[...but then, the final shot focuses on Mary Jane, who starts to have conflicted feelings about what she just did...either that, or she is uncertain of the future that'll soon follow.]
