Spider-Man 2 Page #4

on your conscience.

Come on.

Shame on you.

There you go.

Thank you.

Oh, have I been wrong about you.

We sure showed him.

What do you mean, "we"?

- Take me with you, Spider- Man.

- Take me.

- May I?

- Sure. Go ahead.

Penny! Over here!

Leave it.

Hey. Might wanna take it easy, buddy.

Why? It's a party.

Wouldn't you be drinking if you lost

a bundle on some crackpot...

...who you thought was gonna take

you with him to fame and fortune?

Not to mention your friend the bug.

Not tonight, Harry.

Every night!

Until I find him, it's 24-7.

Parker!

Parker!

Parker! What, are you deaf?

I called you twice.

Think I'm paying you

to sip champagne?

Get a shot of my wife

with the minister.

Beautiful tie.

Get a shot of us with the DA.

Beautiful dress.

Here, get a shot of the mayor

and his girlfriend.

Wife.

Ladies and gentlemen,

good evening.

The committee for

the Science Library of New York...

...is pleased to present

our guest of honour.

He's the first man to play football

on the moon.

The handsome, the heroic,

the delicious...

...Captain John Jameson.

Hi.

- You.

- Listen, I'm sorry.

But there was a disturbance.

I don't know you.

And I can't keep thinking about you.

It's too painful.

I've been reading poetry lately.

Whatever that means.

Day by day he gazed upon her

Day by day he sighed with passion

Day by day...

Don't start.

Can I get you a drink?

I'm with John. He'll get me my drink.

John.

By the way, John has seen

my show five times.

Harry has seen it twice.

Aunt May has seen it.

My sick mother got out of bed to see it.

Even my father.

He came backstage to borrow cash.

But my best friend,

who cares so much about me...

...can't make an 8:00 curtain.

After all these years...

...he's nothing to me

but an empty seat.

It pisses me off, your loyalty to

Spider- Man and not to your best friend.

I find him with my father's body,

and you defend him.

- Take it easy.

- Don't push me.

Don't act like you're my friend.

You stole M.J. from me.

You stole my father's love.

Then you let him die because you

didn't turn in the freak. Isn't that right?

Huh? Isn't that right?

Huh, brother?

Ladies and gentlemen,

I just want you all to know...

...that the beautiful Miss Mary Jane

Watson has just agreed to marry me.

What a surprise.

Parker, wake up! Wake up!

Shoot the picture!

Oh, no. No!

Why is this happening to me?

You told him yes? Just that fast?

It felt right.

Well, you might congratulate me.

Congratulations.

Good luck in the world.

John loves me.

My father always said,

"You'll never be worth anything.

No man will ever want you."

So, what, you're gonna spend

the rest of your life...

...trying to prove something

to your father?

Do you really love this guy?

- Very much.

- "Very much"?

That just doesn't fly.

I mean, if you really love the guy,

then the answer is:

"Do I love him? I adore him.

He's my comfortable afghan.

He's all I can think about.

Everything he is, everything he says,

everything he does...

...to me, for me, with me,

is sweet kisses.

He makes up for all the grief

and pain I've ever had...

...and in the dark of the night,

he is there."

That's the answer I need.

Not just "I love him very much".

You read too many love stories.

What about that perfect kiss

you said you had once?

- The guy you believed in?

- That was a fantasy.

That's all he is.

But what's wrong with believing

in love stories?

You seem very okay to me.

My diagnosis?

It's up here.

You say you can't sleep.

Heartbreak? Bad dreams?

There is one dream where...

...in my dream...

...I'm Spider- Man.

But I'm losing my powers.

I'm climbing a wall, but I keep falling.

So you're Spider- Man.

In my dream.

Actually, it's not even my dream.

It's a friend of mine's dream.

So it's somebody else's dream.

- What's your major? Theatre Arts?

- Science.

Connors?

He flunking you?

He says he might.

There you go.

What about this friend?

Why does he climb these walls?

What does he think of himself?

That's the problem.

He doesn't know what to think.

Gotta make you mad not to know

who you are. Your soul disappears.

Nothing as bad as uncertainty.

I've been there. Who was I?

Identity. Big one.

Me, I go to my shrink.

What does he tell you?

She tells me I need some

strong focus on what I want.

And I have to find out

who won't let me have it, why...

...and then I have to tackle that guy,

let him hear me...

And one more thing. I have to

make sure I'm right about what I want.

Listen...

...maybe you're not supposed to be

Spider- Man climbing those walls.

That's why you keep falling.

You always have a choice, Peter.

I have a choice.

All the things you've

been thinking about, Peter...

...make me sad.

Can't you understand?

I'm in love with Mary Jane.

You know I understand.

But I thought you'd learned

the meaning of responsibility.

Oh, you don't know how it feels.

Peter, all the times

we've talked of honesty...

...fairness, justice...

Out of those times,

I counted on you to have the courage...

...to take those dreams

out into the world.

I can't live your dreams anymore.

I want a life of my own.

You've been given a gift, Peter.

With great power

comes great responsibility.

Take my hand, son.

No, Uncle Ben.

I'm just Peter Parker.

I'm Spider-Man...

...no more.

No more.

No more.

- You punk!

- Sorry.

- Thanks.

- You're welcome.

Hurry up!

And when the borderline is tau

equals zero, the eigenvalues are?

Someone, please?

.23 electron volts.

Excellent work today, Parker.

Keep it up.

I'm not really wicked at all.

You mustn't think that I'm wicked.

If you are not, then you have

certainly been deceiving us all...

...in a very inexcusable manner.

I hope you have not been

leading a double life...

...pretending to be wicked

and being really good all the time.

That would be hypocrisy.

Of course, I have been

rather reckless.

" I am glad."

" I am glad."

" I am glad."

Are you glad to hear it?

I am glad...

...to hear it.

In fact, now you mention

the subject...

...I have been very bad

in my own small way.

You were so wonderful.

That was such a great play.

You could've told me

you were coming.

I was afraid you'd say,

" Don't come."

You look different.

I shined my shoes, pressed my pants,

did my homework.

I do my homework now.

You wanna get some chow mein?

Peter...

...l'm getting married.

I always imagined you

getting married on a hilltop.

And who's the groom?

You hadn't decided yet.

You think just because

you saw my play...

...you can talk me out

of getting married?

You once told me you loved me.

I let things get in the way before.

There was something I thought

I had to do. I don't have to.

You're too late.

Will you think about it?

Think about what?

Picking up where we left off.

Where was that?

We never got on.

You can't get off if you don't get on.
