Spider-Man 2 Page #3

Synopsis: Peter Parker is an unhappy man: after two years of fighting crime as Spider-Man, his life has begun to fall apart. The girl he loves is engaged to someone else, his grades are slipping, he cannot keep any of his jobs, and on top of it, the newspaper Daily Bugle is attacking him viciously, claiming that Spider-Man is a criminal. He reaches the breaking point and gives up the crime fighter's life, once and for all. But after a failed fusion experiment, eccentric and obsessive scientist Dr. Otto Octavius is transformed into super villain Doctor Octopus, Doc Ock for short, having four long tentacles as extra hands. Peter guesses it might just be time for Spider-Man to return, but would he act upon it?

I do that all the time.

- Slow elevator.

- Yeah.

Thus, the second-order term...

...in the expansion of

the exact order...

...is identical to the second order...

...calculated from first-order

perturbation energy.

Since we are free to choose

an arbitrary origin for our energy...

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 8:00

can become.

Actually, there was

this obnoxious usher.

Somebody has to talk

to that usher, M.J.

Your time has expired.

Please deposit 50 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 20-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 25 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!

It'll soon stabilise!

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 stabilise! 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 C7-T1 to T12.

We're ready, doctor.

Anybody here take shop class?

No! No! No!

Help me! Help me!

No!

It's all over town, Robbie.

Gossip. Rumours.

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, I...

- 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,

8:
00. 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 300 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
