RICHARD: People will say I am
a monster for what I've done.
And maybe they're right.
I always thought
that I'd have more...
- time.
- YOUNG PETER: Dad?
Dad!
I'm sorry.
Peter?
(CHATTERING)
MARY: He likes to sleep
with the light on at night.
Mary, we have to go.
Dad.
Be good.
I found a safe place for us to spend
the night at Lake Geneva.
- Are you uploading it?
- RICHARD: To Roosevelt. All of it.
Just in case we...
We're gonna be fine, Mary.
Did you see his face?
He's never gonna understand.
Mary, we've been through this.
Our life as we know it is over.
We're gonna spend every day
from now on looking over our shoulders.
Never feeling safe.
We can't do that to him.
He's just a little boy.
I know, I know.
But it's gonna be okay.
(SNIFFLING)
It's gonna be all right.
No rest for the weary, huh?
No, I'm afraid not.
Occupational hazard, I guess.
(FAUCET RUNNING)
What is it you're working on?

Uh, just planning ahead. Do you
think I could speak with the pilot?
Something you need?
Perhaps I can help.
I'd just like to radio ahead
and make sure everything's in order
for when we land.
I think we both know
that's not an option, Dr. Parker.

Hey, you're not a nobody.

Hello.
- Hey! Get off!
- I told you.
I am running a bit late.
It's over, Spider.
Really?!
I know we all think
that we're immortal.
We're supposed to feel that way.
We're graduating.
But, like our brief four
years in high school,
what makes life valuable
is that it doesn't last forever.
What makes it precious
is that it ends.
And I know that now more than ever.
And I say it,
today of all days,
to remind us that time is luck.
So don't waste it
living someone else's life.
Make yours count for something.
Fight for what matters to you.
No matter what.
Because even if we fall short,
what better way is there to live?
(BOTH SPEAKING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE)

Peter, for Lord's sakes, I almost stole
a cap and gown to run up there myself.
I'd love to have seen that. That would've
been awesome. No, no, this is for you.
- I am so proud of you.
- You earned it.
Sweetheart, I'm so proud of you.
I know the first thing
your Uncle Ben would say.
Yeah, I know too.
You better hurry up, party's over.
You gotta get a job."
The second thing he would say, "Don't
just follow the path, make your own trail."
Ralph Waldo Emerson.
- No.
- What do you mean, no?
- Ben told me he made it up.
- Ha-ha-ha!
You really did
learn something here.
I wish your uncle
could have been here.
Yeah, me too.

Yeah. Yeah.

I'll be right back.

- Don't go too far.
- It's good to see you.

- All right.
Hey.
Did your traffic jam
have anything to do with
the Russian Mob
and machine guns by any chance?
Why didn't you just tell me?
What am I gonna do?
You're about to do your speech.
- Gwen. Honey. Family photo.

Okay.
Hey. You coming to dim sum?
Can't keep me away.
It's at 8:00. Don't be late.

Great. Peter. Join us? Come on.
I gotta find my aunt, but
I'm gonna catch up later, thank you.
GWEN: Hi.
GEORGE:
You're gonna make enemies.
People will get hurt.
So I want you to promise me
something, okay?
Leave Gwen out of it.
Promise me that.
She's gonna take
one quick picture, okay?
(CHATTERING)

Peter's outside. I'm gonna
go see if he's okay.
What are you doing?
What are you?
GWEN: Peter.
What is it?
- Hey.
- What's wrong?
Are you all right?
I don't know what I'm doing.
It's my father, isn't it?
Yeah.
I see him everywhere I go.
I can't... I don't know what to do.
And I can't get him out of my head.
- Yeah, but we've talked about this.
- I know, but, Gwen...
- It's not his choice.
- Gwen.
I promised him that
I would keep away from you.
And now I'm gonna come and
eat dinner with your family.
How can I do this?
What does this make me?
I don't know,
what does that make you?
It makes me not able to
live with myself.
- I thought that it meant you loved me.
- I do love you.
I love you.
Then why isn't that enough?
Huh?
Because what if
something happens to you
just like it happened to him
because of me?
- No, wait, wait, wait.
- Listen. No, n...
I cannot let that happen.
Listen to me.
You're Spider-Man...
and I love that.
But I love Peter Parker more.
()
That's worth it to me.
I can't lose you too.
If because you can't lose me,
we can't be together,
who does that work out for, Peter?
I can't. I'm sorry, Gwen.
Wow.
You have done this to me
again and again, Peter.
I can't live like this.
I break up with you.
I break up with you.

REPORTER 1:
Good morning, New Yorkers.
Looking for another beautiful day
here in the city.
A few clouds to start us off...
REPORTER 2: The steady increase in sightings
of Spider-Man has sparked a debate
over the role of vigilantism
in American crime fighting.
REPORTER 3:
How about that Spider-Man?
Last night on the Manhattan
Bridge, he saved a dozen lives.
We wanna hear your calls.
MAN 1: I think without Spider-Man,
there'd be no hope for this city.
MAN 2: Who do you think pays the bills
for all the damages he causes, huh?
It's you and me, taxpayers.
- You make this?
- Yeah.
This is a wind turbine.
You made this? No way.
This is amazing.
It's good as new, right?
I'll walk you home.
- What's your name?
- Jorge.
Jorge? I'm Spider-Man.
MAN: I don't feel like my kids
are safe with him out there.
Get out of the way and let
the police do their job.
WOMAN 1: Some folks think that there
might be more than one Spider-Man.
(SHRIEKS)
What do you think?
One guy or many?
WOMAN 2: I'd love to know
who's behind that mask.
Hey.
- Nice outfit.
- Thanks.
RADIO HOST: We have a caller on the line
named Max. He says he knows Spider-Man.
MAX: Listen, I'm upset. Spider-Man,
to me, is being misunderstood.
He's a very, very good person.
He's protecting us.
He saved my life one time.
We sort of became best friends.

How much?
Hey, you're that spider guy.
I'm Spider-Man.
Huh?

You said your final was at 9, and
you're gonna take my car into the shop.

Peter! For goodness sakes.
You said you're gonna take my car
into the shop because it kee...!
- Are you all right?
- Yeah. I'm okay.
I'm just...
I'm very naked right now.
What happened to your face?
It's filthy.

a birthday today?
That's why you're here.
You remembered my birthday.
(LAUGHS)
All the crime-fighting you've
been doing, and all of a sudden,
you take time out to come visit
little old me. Max. It's amazing to...
But of course you would.
Why wouldn't you visit me?
We're best friends.
What are you doing?
You made me a cake?
People don't get a chance to see these
small, kind things that you do for people.
I know what they say
about you in the press
but it doesn't matter to me.
I know the real you.
Because you're amazing.
Wow. That's what the press needs.
They should call you
The Amazing Spider-Man.
You like that, Spidey?
I like it a lot, Max.
Good. Because today
is going to be
amazing.
Yeah. Circuit 39.
I'm not late, Harvey.
I'll be there in 15 minutes.
I just wanna know if you
can find another waitress
to replace me because I start
my training rounds
at the hospital.
And don't mention this to Peter.
I don't want him to know.
Because he'll worry.
Uh, yeah. Yeah. Okay, you got it.
Uh, double shift on Thursday.
Okay, bye.
- Who was that?
- Harvey.
- Doing a double shift, huh?
- Sometimes.
Got nothing else to do.
I like the girls.
I miss Ben. Gives me a little extra
in the cookie jar. Heh.
Mm.
Well, I sold another couple of photos
to the Bugle, so that ought to help.
Yeah, it would really help if that guy
would pay you a fair wage.
Jameson pays me a fair wage.
If it was 1961, he
pays me a fair wage.
Hey, wait. What are you doing? What
are you doing? No, I do the laundry.
- I'm doing my laundry.
- No, I do the laundry.
No, this is my job. I've been doing
your laundry since you were 6 years old.
I understand that.
I'm in college now.
I think it's time that I took care of
my own dirty underwear.
Last time you did the laundry,
you turned everything blue and red
- so no.
- That was a mistake.
Because I was washing
the American flag.
- My... Can I please just...?
- No one washes a flag.
I do, and I won't anymore.
- This is my machine.
- Fine. It's just underwear.
This is my laundry, my home,
my machine.
Back off, eat your breakfast.
All right, laundry sheriff.
I'll do it later.
- I'll do it.
- No, forget it.
- Give it to me.
- I'll do it some other time.

and those power grids
were designed by me.
You designed them?
Sure you did.

NEWS ANCHOR (ON TV): Norman Osborn, the legendary
founder and CEO of Oscorp Industries, has died,
the Osborn estate has confirmed.
He is survived by his
only son, Harry Osborn
who is the sole heir of the
Oscorp corporate empire.
Harry.
Osborn changed the medical
profession's approach to human healing
and affected
the lives of millions.
I started Oscorp because I looked at
the world around me and I thought:
"We can do better.
And we should do better."
Einstein said, "The world cannot be
changed without changing our thinking."
But change isn't just a slogan.
It begins with hard work.
Change begins with
persistence and commitment.
Mr. Osborn changed the world.
And now it's up to each of us to ensure
that his hopes and dreams remain alive.
But not today.

Oscorp's been under

Dr. Connors' recent, uh,
breach of trust.
You mean people are pissed off
because he tried to turn everyone
in New York City into giant lizards.
Given that,
all the animal hybrid programs
he was involved in were destroyed
to restore investor confidence.
Ah. That is the Osborn way.
Whatever's inconvenient around
here, just get rid of it, right?
Much of that scrutiny
may fall on you now.
We felt that plausible deniability
was your best option.
Sure, sure. I get it.

everything about this place.
I guess that kind of included you.
You ain't gotta explain
anything to me, man.
We both got dumped.
You ever figure out
why your parents bailed?
My dad left a briefcase.
That's all I got,
briefcase full of junk.
Whatever. I don't know.
I try not to think about it.
How's that working out for you?
Perfectly.
Dude. Nice arm.
It's just the wrist. It's just all
in the wrist, buddy.
(OVER SPEAKER) You could do it too
if you just strengthened up that.
HARRY: Yeah, right.
You gotta admit, though. Things
have gotten crazy around here, man.
Giant lizards
and spider guys.
Just one guy. Just one spider man.
Or woman. We don't know for sure.
Whatever, dude. He wears spandex
to rescue kittens from trees.
I'm so impressed.
I kind of like to think
he gives people hope.
For what?
Maybe eventually
everything's gonna be all right.
Yeah, I just wish I had time
for "eventually."

MENKEN: Who was he?
MAN: Maxwell Dillon.
Electrical engineer.
No associates or friends
to speak of.
He submitted specs for the grid
that we appropriated.
The guy was
invisible.
Wall Street's nervous enough
with that child, Harry, taking over.
We've gotta find a way
to get him out.
In the meantime, if the press
gets hold of this accident,
our stock will crater.
So make sure this Mr. Dillon
stays invisible.
This could prove useful for us
in the future.

Mr. Osborn?
You all right?
Is there anything I can get you?
No, not unless you can bring
those spiders back to life.
Spiders?
The ones that they destroyed...
"to restore investor confidence."
Go home, Felicia.
Take the day off.
FELICIA: Harry.
I think there may be another way
to get what you're looking for.
I overheard Menken talking
with one of our security heads.
Before they destroyed the spiders,
they had the venom extracted.
Uh, what?
What are you saying?
That way, they could
comply with the lawsuits,
but still keep the data in
case it ever became useful.
Where is it?
It's somewhere in the building.
It's somewhere off-books
called "Special Projects."

And then I'm gonna kill the light

The more relevant question is
what did you do?
An employee is killed and in your
first action as CEO, you cover it up.
No, you covered it up. Then you buried
him in the bughouse using my name.
Ravencroft is a timeworn institution
devoted to mental improvement.
You are experimenting
on people in there.
Progress has its stepping stones.
Now, in light of your deceptive
criminal actions, you've been...
How do I put this gently?
fired.
You are not going to bury me too.
Looks to me like you're
halfway in the ground already.
It's only a matter of time.
You're going to die
a horrible death.
Like your father.
The difference is,
no one is going to miss you.
Get him out.
HARRY: Wait. Wait.

RICHARD: Test.
My name is Richard Parker.
Whatever lies will
be told about me,
I would like the world
to know the truth.
Oscorp was already a leader
in genetic research
when Norman Osborn made a deal
with a foreign military organization
to continue funding my research.
And I discovered what
they were going to use it for.
Weapons. Biological
weapons, of course.
So I refused.
And now, to eliminate
me from the picture,
Norman Osborn has
falsified evidence against me
in order to take
control of my work.
GUARD 1: Can I help you?
Uh, yeah, you can open the gate.
I'm Harry Osborn.
Now, there's a patient in that
Isolation Wing that I need to see.
GUARD 1: Joe, this is
Mr. Osborn of Oscorp.
GUARD 2: Sorry, without a yellow badge,
I can't let anyone past this point.
(ELECTRICITY CRACKLING
AND GUARDS GROANING)
But it doesn't matter because
there's something else...
that Norman doesn't know.
The human DNA
that I implanted in the spiders...
was my own.
Which means that without me,
without my bloodline,
Oscorp can never replicate
or continue my experiments.
Keep Electro incubated
with 400 milligrams of sodium
thiopental und phenobarbital.
RICHARD: I have destroyed as much
as possible from the archives.
(ALARM BLARING)
But I didn't have time
to kill all of the spiders.
So as a scientist,
my choice is very clear now.
I have to disappear. I have to get
as far away from here as I can.
But as a father,
it means I may not
see my boy again.
And nothing is as important to me
as my son, Peter.
Nothing in this world.
But I have a responsibility
to protect the world
from what I've created,
and to protect him from
what I know Osborn is capable of.
People will say I am a monster
for what I've done.
And maybe they're right.
I always thought that I'd have more
time.
YOUNG PETER: Dad? Dad!
I'm sorry.
(SIGHING)

Who are you?
I'm Harry Osborn.
I wanna make you a deal.
I should kill you.
Oh, come on.
Think bigger, Max.
I'm not the one you want.
You want Spider-Man.
(ELECTRICITY CRACKLES)
And I can give him to you.
But I need something first.
I need you to get me into Oscorp.
Get you in?
You own it.
Heh. Uh, not anymore.
Oscorp betrayed us both,
so I can't get in there without you and
you can't get out of here without me.
What's happening?
MAN: Someone pulled an
alarm in the lso Unit.
Get a containment
team up there now.
You couldn't possibly
know what I want.
You submitted the
design for the grid,
and they stole it.
And now you want it back.
You just wanna take
back what's yours.
- How?
- It is all the power in the city, Max,
and it's right at your fingertips.
And then once you
shut down the grid,
Spider-Man will come to you,
and I want you to make him bleed.
()
Break it! Break it!
Max, we don't have much time!
Go! Go, go! Go!
Give me one reason
why I should trust you.
Because I need you!
You need me?
Yes. I need you.
You are my only chance
that I have at surviving.
You need me?
Yes. I need you.

Woo-hoo. It's very exciting.
I came by your house
a little bit ago and I, um...
You weren't there,
and so I'm on my way
to the airport right now,
because there's this early
summer class that I found out about,
and I thought that
it would somehow
be easier, I guess, this way.
I think that maybe it's time
to let this go.
And that's not because
I don't love you.
It's actually because
I do, so, um...
Okay, bye.

- Am I right?
- Right as rain.
Okay, so, Fairy Godmother,
it is time to grant me a wish.

You're wrong about us

what better way is there to live?

Run through the flames
