Spider-Man 2 Page #5

I don't think it's that simple.

Of course you don't,

because you complicate things.

You don't understand.

I'm not an empty seat anymore.

I'm different.

Punch me, I bleed.

I have to go.

I'm getting married in a church.

You are different.

Dear, we agreed to put on a wedding,

not go into bankruptcy.

Caviar?

What, are we inviting the czar?

Get some cheese and crackers,

some of those little cocktail weenies.

I got a garbage man here says he's

got something you might want to see.

If you have an extraterrestrial's head in

there, you're the third guy this week.

Where the hell did you get that?

In the garbage.

In the garbage?

He must've given up.

Thrown in the towel.

Abandoned his sad little masquerade.

I finally got to him.

The power of the press triumphs.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now, look, I think

I deserve a little something for this.

- Give you 50 bucks.

- I could get more than that on eBay.

All right, 100. Give this man his

money and throw in a bar of soap.

Your wife is still on that line.

Flowers? How much?

You spend any more on this thing,

you can pick the daisies off my grave.

Get plastic.

Gotta go, big story.

Spider-Man

Spider-Man

Where have you gone to

Spider-Man?

Where have you gone to

Spider-Man?

Come on, man. Get the money.

Come on, come on.

Help!

Come on!

It wasn't fair to have gone like that.

He was a peaceful man.

And it was all my doing.

Aunt May.

You don't have to punish yourself.

Oh, I know I shouldn't.

It's just that you wanted

to take the subway...

...and he wanted to drive you.

If only I had stopped him.

We'd all three of us

be having tea together.

I'm responsible.

For what?

For what happened to Uncle Ben.

But you were at the library.

You were doing your homework.

He drove me to the library,

but I never went in.

What do you mean?

I went someplace else.

Someplace where I thought

I could win some money...

...to buy a car, because I wanted...

...to impress Mary Jane.

It happened so fast.

I won the money, and the guy

wouldn't pay me. Then he got robbed.

The thief...

...was running towards me.

I could've stopped him,

but I wanted...

...revenge.

I let him go.

I let him get away.

He wanted a car.

He tried to take Uncle Ben's.

Uncle Ben said no...

...and then he shot him.

Uncle Ben was killed that night...

...for being the only one

who did the right thing.

And I...

I held his hand...

...when he died.

I've tried to tell you so many times.

Just one more little chore.

Where are you?

- I'm leaving for the night, sir.

- Fine.

Your father only obsessed

over his work.

Good night, Bernard.

Hello, Harry.

Otto. What do you want?

That precious tritium.

But I need more of it this time.

More tritium, are you crazy?

You'll destroy the city! You're a hack!

Hey! Hey!

Stop! Stop! All right!

All right, all right, all right.

Put me down. We'll make a deal.

Kill Spider- Man,

I'll give you all the tritium you need.

On second thought,

bring him to me alive.

How do I find him?

- Peter Parker.

- Parker?

He takes pictures of Spider- Man

for the Bugle.

Make him tell you where he is.

Have it ready.

Don't hurt Peter!

Somebody, help!

Fire!

Alisa, the Chens can't find their

daughter. Have you seen her?

Somebody call the fire department!

Help!

- Help!

- Is anybody in that building?

We think there's a kid

stuck on the second floor.

Hey, where you going?!

I'm coming!

It's okay. It's okay. Come here.

I'm gonna get you out of here.

Come on. Come on.

Mama.

You got some guts, kid.

Some poor soul got trapped

on the fourth floor. Never made it out.

Oh, man.

All right, Billy, let's knock it down

and roll them up. Get on out of here.

Let's pick it up! Let's get all this

equipment, let's go! Let's move it!

Am I not supposed to have

what I want?

What I need?

What am I supposed to do?

I shouldn't have without...

...knocking.

Come in.

- Hi.

- Hi.

Would you like a piece

of chocolate cake?

Okay.

And a glass of milk?

That would be nice.

Okay.

Thank you.

You got a message.

It's your aunt.

Thanks.

What's going on?

Oh, they gave me another few weeks,

but I decided the hell with it.

I'm moving on.

I found a small apartment.

Why didn't you tell me?

I'm quite able

to take care of things myself.

And Henry Jackson across

the street is giving me a hand...

...and I'm giving him $5.

That's Henry Jackson?

Yes. It's funny what happens

in two years.

Nine years old, has great ambitions.

Listen, about my last visit...

Pish-posh, we needn't talk about it.

It's water over the dam or under

the bridge or wherever you like it.

But you made a brave move

in telling me the truth.

And I'm proud of you.

And I thank you, and I...

I love you, Peter.

So very, very much.

Hey. Where are all my comic books?

Those dreadful things?

I gave those away.

- I put the pans in the box, Mrs. Parker.

- Thank you, Henry.

- Hi, Peter.

- Hey, Henry.

You're getting tall.

Henry, why don't you put those

cookbooks in with the mixer.

Okay. You take

Spider- Man's pictures, right?

I used to.

Where is he?

Henry and I agree. We don't see

his picture in the paper anymore.

He...

...quit.

- Why?

Wanted to try other things.

He'll be back, right?

I don't know.

You'll never guess

who he wants to be.

Spider- Man.

- Why?

- He knows a hero when he sees one.

Too few characters out there,

flying around like that...

...saving old girls like me.

And Lord knows,

kids like Henry need a hero.

Courageous, self-sacrificing people...

...setting examples for all of us.

Everybody loves a hero.

People line up for them.

Cheer them. Scream their names.

And years later, they'll tell how

they stood in the rain for hours...

...just to get a glimpse of the one...

...who taught them to hold on

a second longer.

I believe there's a hero in all of us...

...that keeps us honest...

...gives us strength...

...makes us noble...

...and finally allows us to die

with pride.

Even though sometimes

we have to be steady...

...and give up the thing

we want the most.

Even our dreams.

Spider- Man did that for Henry...

...and he wonders where he's gone.

He needs him.

Do you think you could lift that desk

and put it into the garage for me?

But don't strain yourself.

Okay.

Strong focus on what I want.

I'm back!

I'm back!

My back.

My back.

Honey, you sure you don't want to

invite your friend, the photographer?

Peter Parker?

Positive.

Thought he was your pal.

- Peter Parker?

- Yeah.

He's just a great big jerk.

The world's full of great big jerks.

You're adorable.

It's just the uniform.

Lean your head back for me.

- Put my head back?

- Yeah, just do it.

Just put my head back?

Okay.

Wow.

I'm back on the moon.

You up there with me?

- Hiya.

- Surprised?

Very.

Thanks for coming.

Everything okay?

You might say so.

This is funny.

I'm not sure how to begin.

You know how our minds

play tricks on us.

- Tell me about it.
