Spider-Man 2 Page #2

I'm fine.

I wish you'd come see the play.

You're the one who

always encouraged me.

I plan to.

I liked seeing you tonight, Peter.

Oh, boy, yeah.

"Oh, boy, yeah" what?

Nothing.

Do you want to say something?

I...

...was...

...wondering if you're still

in the Village.

You're such a mystery.

Peter.

What?

Happy birthday.

I'm seeing somebody now.

- Therapy.

- No.

A person, a man.

You mean, like a boyfriend?

Well, like I like him.

What?

Nothing.

That's good, you know?

Companionship...

May be more than that.

More?

I don't know.

I'm coming to see your play

tomorrow night.

- You're coming?

- I'll be there.

Don't disappoint me.

I won't.

Rent.

- Hi.

- Hi. What's " hi"?

Can I spend it?

I have a paycheque due this week

and...

- You're a month late again. Again.

- I promise as soon as...

If promises were crackers,

my daughter would be fat.

I'm really sorry, Mr. Ditkovitch. All I got

is this 20 for the rest of the week.

"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.

- Thanks, Mr. Ditkovitch.

- Hi, Pete.

Hello?

Rent?

Doctor? Mr. Osborn's here.

Nobel Prize, Otto. Nobel Prize.

And we'll all be rich.

It's not about the prizes, Harry.

But you need money.

You need Oscorp.

Who do we have here?

This is my good friend

I called you about.

He got me through

high-school science.

Peter Parker, sir.

I'm writing a paper on you for...

I know what you're doing here...

...but I don't have time

to talk to students now.

But Oscorp pays the bills, so...

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!

Interesting fellow, your friend.

I won't take much of your time.

Now I remember you. You're Connors'

student. He tells me you're brilliant.

He also tells me you're lazy.

I'm trying to do better.

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.

Otto, your lunch is ready.

- This is my wife, Rosie.

- Hello.

This is Peter Parker. Connors' student.

The one who falls asleep in class.

I always fell asleep in physics class.

- Nice to meet you, Peter.

- Good to meet you.

Excuse me.

Is that it?

Yes. My design to initiate

and sustain fusion.

I understand you use harmonics

of atomic frequencies.

Sympathetic frequencies.

Harmonic reinforcement?

Go on.

An exponential increase

in energy output.

A huge amount of energy.

Like a perpetual sun providing

renewable power for the whole world.

It's all so amazing. If it works,

it could change the way we live.

It is amazing, and it will work.

Are you sure you could stabilise

the fusion reaction?

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.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean

to question you.

Rosie, our new friend thinks

I'm gonna blow up the city.

You can sleep soundly tonight.

Otto's done his homework.

Come to the demonstration tomorrow,

and you'll see for yourself.

And you need

to sleep soundly tonight, Otto.

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?

Did Bernoulli sleep before he found

the curves of quickest descent?

Rosie, I love this boy.

Peter, tell us about yourself.

Do you have a girlfriend?

Well...

I don't really know.

Well, shouldn't you know?

I mean, who would know?

Leave him alone.

Maybe it's a secret love.

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.

Time present and time past

- Are both perhaps present

- Perhaps present

- In time future

- In time future

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 lik e 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.

I understand.

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...

Listen, can't you...?

A Spider-Man

A Spider-Man

A-does whatever a spider can

A-spins a web, any size

Catches thieves a-just lik e 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.

How you doing?

Good.

I just wanna say,

I really like what you do.

- Think it's great.

- Thanks.

I'm with Weisenhower,

Anderson, Nichols & Knudsen...

...PR firm in the building...

...and I just wanna say I think

the image you have is fantastic.

It's really put together.

The costume. The... this thing.

I mean, it's really put together.

It's great.

I think you could do more

than print though.

I think you might wanna try some TV,

you know?

Can I riff for you?

Come up with a couple ideas?

Just what my company would do?

Let's see, what do I got?

How about a children's book?

You could...

Like Charlotte's Web,

but without the pig. That kind of thing.

How about a line of hammocks?

Because it's kind of a web thing.

You could do a men's cologne

called Thwip.

Let me give you a card.

I don't have any pockets.

Yeah.

Well, we're right in the building.

That doesn't help.
