computer analyst.

My Lord, even the computers

need analysts these days.

I'm 68. I'm too old for computers, and

besides, I have a family to provide for.

I love you. And Peter loves you.

You're the most responsible man

I've ever known.

We've been down-and-out before.

But somehow, we survive.

Hi, sweetie. You're just...

Just in time for dinner.

How you doing? How was the field trip?

I don't feel well.

I'm gonna go to sleep.

- You won't have a bite?

- No thanks, had a bite.

Did you get some pictures, Peter?

I gotta crash. Everything's fine.

What's that all about?

In this recombination lab...

...we use synthesized transfer RNA

to encode an entirely new genome...

...combining the genetic

information from all three...

... into these 15 genetically

designed super-spiders.

Dr. Osborn, please.

The performance enhancers aren't ready.

The data just doesn't justify

this test.

Now, I'm asking you for the last time.

We can't do this.

Don't be a coward.

Risks are part of laboratory science.

Let me reschedule,

with the proper medical staff and a volunteer.

- If you just give me two weeks...

- Two weeks?

In two weeks? We'll have lost the contract

to Quest and OSCORP will be dead.

Sometimes you gotta

do things yourself.

- Get me the Promachloraperazine.

- For what?

It begins catalyzation when the vapor

hits the bloodstream.

...and we've barely tapped

the vastness of human potential.

Oh, that's cold.

Norman?

Norman!

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God! Norman!

Back to formula?

Weird.

- Peter?

- Yeah?

Are you all right?

I'm fine.

- Any better this morning? Any change?

- Change?

Yep. Big change.

- Well, hurry up. You're going to be late.

- Right.

Okay.

- Goodness me!

- Jeez. I thought you were sick.

- I got better.

- See?

- Bye, guys.

- You haven't eaten anything, have you got your lunch money?

- Yeah I've got it.

Hey Michaelangelo don't forget

we're painting the kitchen right after school. Got it?

Sure, Uncle Ben.

Don't start without me.

And don't start up with me.

Teenagers. Raging hormones.

They never change.

You're trash!

You're always going to be trash just like her.

- I have to go to school.

- Who's stopping you?

Hi, M.J.

Hey, M.J.

I don't know if you realize this, but

we've been neighbors since I was 6.

And I was wondering

if we could get together sometime?

I got the car. Hop in.

Do something fun?

Or, I don't know.

I thought it'd be time

to get to know each other.

Or not.

Sorry, Parker, the bus is full!

- Stop the bus!

- Catch a cab!

Tell him to stop.

- Check him out!

- Dork!

Dad!

Dad, are you all right?

Harry.

What are you doing on the floor?

I don't know.

Have you been there all night?

Last night I was...

What?

- I don't remember.

- Mr. Osborn?

Sir, I asked her to wait in the foyer.

- My father's not feeling well...

- Mr. Osborn, Dr. Stromm is dead.

What?

They found his body this morning

in the lab. He's been murdered, sir.

- What are you talking about?

- And the flight suit and the glider...

- What about it?

- It's been stolen, sir.

Wow! Great reflexes!

- Thanks.

- No problem.

Hey, you have blue eyes.

I didn't notice without your glasses.

You just get contacts?

Well, see you.

- What happened?

- He's freaking weird.

Did you see that?

Parker?

- It's a fight!

- Think you're pretty funny don't you, freak?

- Flash it was just an accident.

-My fist breaking your teeth is the accident.

-C'mon Flash, stop.

-I don't want to fight you Flash.

- I wouldn't want to fight me neither.

- Kick his ass.

Help him, Harry.

How'd he do that?

Which one?

He's all yours, man.

Flash, get up!

Jesus, Parker, you are a freak.

That was amazing.

I'm out of here. Come on.

Go, web!

Fly.

Up, up and away, web.

Shazam!

Go! Go!

Go, web, go!

Tallyho.

- Is she back with the beer yet?

- What?

Bring me some beer.

- Get up off your ass.

- I paid for beer...

- Stop yelling.

- Stop it!

You're as stupid as your mother.

Where's she going?

Where you going?

The dishes aren't done.

Somebody's gotta do dishes.

- Why don't you do them?

- Get in here and do the dishes.

- You do them. They're yours, anyway.

- I'm going out!

- Were you listening to that?

- No.

Well, I heard, but I was

just taking out the trash.

I guess you can always hear us.

Everybody shouts.

Your aunt and uncle don't.

Oh, they can scream

pretty good sometimes.

Listen, M.J., about today

at school with Flash...

You really freaked us out.

I'm sorry. Is he okay?

He's just happy you didn't give him

a black eye for graduation.

So where are you going

after you graduate?

I wanna move into the city.

And hopefully, get a job

as a photographer.

Work my way through college.

What about you?

Headed for the city too.

Can't wait to get out of here.

I wanna...

What?

No, come on. Try me.

I wanna...

...act...

...on-stage.

Really?

Oh, that's perfect.

You were awesome

in all the school plays.

- Really?

- Yeah.

I cried like a baby

when you played Cinderella.

Peter, that was first grade.

Well...

...even so.

Sometimes...

...you know people.

You can just see what's coming.

What do you see coming for you?

I don't know.

Whatever it is, it's something

I never felt before.

And what for me?

For you?

You're gonna light up Broadway.

You know...

...you're taller than you look.

I hunch.

Don't.

Hey, M.J.! Come take a ride

in my new birthday present.

Come on.

I gotta go.

Bye.

- Oh, my God, it's gorgeous!

- Yeah, right.

- Look at it!

- Hop in.

Oh, my God. What a cool car!

Pretty tight, huh?

Wait till you hear the sound system.

Hey, don't scratch the leather.

Cool car.

What's going on in there?

I'm exercising.

I'm not dressed, Aunt May.

Well, you're acting

so strangely, Peter.

Okay. Thanks.

Something's bothering him.

Maybe he's too embarrased to tell me what it is.

Maybe I'm too embarrassed to ask him.

I don't know, I just don't know anymore.

I'm going to the downtown library,

I'll see you later.

- Wait. I'll drive you there, buddy.

- I'll take the train.

No, I need the exercise.

Go on. Go, go, go.

- Thanks for the ride, Uncle Ben.

- Now wait a minute, we need to talk.

- We can talk later.

- Well, we can talk now. If you let me.

What do we have to talk about?

Why now?

Because we haven't talked at all for so long,

your Aunt May and I don't even know who you are any more.

You shirk 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.

- Well you sure as hell finished it.

- What was I supposed to do, run away?

No, you're not supposed

to run away, but...

But, Pete look, you're changing. I know,

I went through exactly the same thing at your age.

No. Not exactly.

Peter... these are the years

when a man changes...

...into the man he's gonna become

the rest of his life.

Just be careful who you change into.

This guy, Flash Thompson,

he probably deserved what happened.
