Spider-Man Page #6

Bike messenger.

Knocked me down.

- If you'll excuse me, I've got to be going.

- Why?

Something has come to my attention.

Are you all right?

I'm fine, just fine.

Thank you, Mrs. Parker. Everyone.

- Enjoy the fruitcake.

- Dad!

Dad, what are you doing?

I plan this whole thing so you can meet MJ

and now you've got to leave?

I've got to go.

- This girl is important to me.

- Harry, please. Look at her.

Do you think a woman like that is sniffing

around because she likes your personality?

- What are you saying?

- Your mother was beautiful too.

They're all beautiful until they're snarling after

your trust fund like a pack of ravening wolves.

You're wrong about her Dad.

A word to the not so wise about your little girlfriend,

Do what you need to with her,

then broom her fast.

Thanks for sticking up for me, Harry.

- You heard?

- Everyone heard that creep.

That creep is my father, all right

If I'm lucky I'll become half of what he is

so just keep your mouth shut

about stuff you don't understand.

Harry Osborn!

I'm sorry, Aunt May.

Spiderman is all but invincible.

But Parker, we can destroy him.

I can't.

Betrayal must not be countenanced.

Parker must be educated.

What do I do?

Instruct him in the matters

of loss and pain.

Make him suffer.

Make him wish he were dead.

Yes?

And then grant his wish.

But how?

The cunning warrior attacks

neither body nor mind.

Tell me how!

The heart, Osborn.

First, we attack his heart.

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...

Deliver us!

Finish it!

- Finish it!

- From evil!

Two milligrams IV.

Get the BP.

Aunt May. Is she gonna be okay?

What happened?

Yes she's going to be ok.

Look you're going to have to leave right now.

- What happened?

- Those eyes!

Those horrible yellow eyes!

He knows who I am.

I'm sorry.

- Will she be okay?

- She's going to be fine.

She's been sleeping all day.

- Thanks for coming.

- Of course.

How are you?

You okay about the other night?

Yeah, I'm fine. I just felt bad

about leaving Aunt May.

- Have you talked to Harry?

- He called me.

I haven't called him back.

The fact is...

...I'm in love with somebody else.

- You are?

At least I think I am.

- It's not the time to talk about it.

- No. Go on.

Would I know his name, this guy?

You'll think I'm a stupid little

girl with a crush.

Trust me.

It's funny.

He's saved my life twice,

and I've never even seen his face.

- Oh. Him.

- You're laughing at me.

No, I understand.

He is extremely cool.

But do you think it's true,

all the terrible things they say about him?

No, no, not Spiderman,

not a chance in the world.

I know him a little bit.

I'm sort of his unofficial

photographer.

- Has he mentioned me?

- Yeah.

What'd he say?

I said...

He asked me what I thought about you.

And what did you say?

I said, "Spiderman."

I said, "The great thing about M. J...

...is...

...when you look in her eyes...

...and she's looking back in yours...

...everything feels...

...not quite normal.

Because you feel...

...stronger...

...and weaker at the same time.

You feel excited...

...and at the same time...

...terrified.

The truth is, you don't know

what you feel...

...except you know what kind of man

you want to be.

It's as if you've...

...reached the unreachable...

...and you weren't ready for it."

You said that?

Well, something like that.

Dad?

Dad, is that you?

What is it?

You were right about M.J.

You're right about everything.

She's in love with Peter.

- Parker?

- Yeah.

And how does he feel about her?

He's loved her since the 4th grade.

He pretends like he doesn't, but

there's no one Peter cares for more.

I'm so sorry.

I haven't always been there for you,

have I?

You're busy. You're an important man.

I understand.

That's no excuse.

I'm proud of you.

I've lost sight of that somewhere.

But I'll make it up to you, Harry.

I'm going to rectify

certain inequities.

Wake up, little spider.

Wake up.

Go home, dear.

You look awful.

- And you look beautiful.

- Thank you.

- I don't like to leave you here.

- But I'm safe here.

- Can I do anything for you?

- You do too much.

College, a job, all this time with me.

You're not Superman, you know.

A smile. Finally.

Haven't seen one of those on your face

since Mary Jane was here.

Hey, you were supposed to be asleep.

You know, you were about 6 years old

when M.J. 's family moved in next door.

When she got out of the car,

and you saw her for the first time...

...you grabbed me and said,

"Aunt May, aunt May, is that an angel?"

- Gee, did I say that?

- You sure did.

Well, Harry's in love with her.

- She's still his girl.

- Well, isn't that up to her?

- She doesn't really know who I am.

- Because you won't let her.

You're so mysterious all the time.

Tell me, would it be so dangerous...

...to let Mary Jane know

how much you care?

Everybody else knows.

I'll be right back.

But...

Come on, pick up.

- Hey M.J.

-Hi. Sing your song at the beep.

M.J., it's Peter. You there?

Hello? You there?

I'm just calling to check up on you.

Will you call me when you get in?

All right, well...

Don't...

Don't go up any dark alleys.

Hello?

Can Spiderman come out to play?

Where is she?

- What is that?

- That's cool!

The itsy-bitsy spider

Went up the water spout

Down came the goblin

And took the spider out

Goblin, what have you done?

Spiderman!

This is why only fools are heroes.

Because you never know...

...when some lunatic will come along

with a sadistic choice:

Let die the woman you love...

...or suffer the little children.

- Spiderman!

- Save us!

Save us!

Make your choice, Spiderman...

...and see how a hero is rewarded.

Don't do it, Goblin!

We are who we choose to be.

- Now, choose!

- No!

Everybody stay still!

Ahoy up there!

We're gonna bring the barge

right under you.

- He's coming back!

- Listen. I need you to climb down.

- I can't.

- Yes, you can!

M.J., you can do it. You have to.

Trust me.

Hold on tight and go quickly.

- Hurry!

- I can't. I can't do it.

Hang on, Mary Jane!

- He's not gonna make it.

- He's gonna make it!

It's time to die.

Come on up here dumb gu

I got a little something for ya.

Leave Spiderman alone.

You gonna pick on a guy trying to save a bunch of kids?

You mess with Spidey,

you mess with New York!

You mess with one of us,

you mess with all of us!

Spiderman, watch out!

Misery, misery, misery.

That's what you've chosen.

I offered you friendship...

...and you spat in my face.

You've spun your last web, Spiderman.

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...

...l'm gonna finish her

nice and slow.

M.J. and I...

...we're gonna have a hell of a time.

Peter, stop!

Stop! It's me.
