The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Page #2

All night? I wanna hear

it all night long.

- Over and over again, all night long.

- Okay.

- Oh, my gosh.

- It was pretty good.

Great. Peter. Join us? Come on.

I gotta find my aunt, but

I'm gonna catch up later, thank you.

GWEN:
Hi.

GEORGE:

You're gonna make enemies.

People will get hurt.

So I want you to promise me

something, okay?

Leave Gwen out of it.

Promise me that.

She's gonna take

one quick picture, okay?

(CHATTERING)

()

Peter's outside. I'm gonna

go see if he's okay.

What are you doing?

What are you?

GWEN:
Peter.

What is it?

- Hey.

- What's wrong?

Are you all right?

I don't know what I'm doing.

It's my father, isn't it?

Yeah.

I see him everywhere I go.

I can't... I don't know what to do.

And I can't get him out of my head.

- Yeah, but we've talked about this.

- I know, but, Gwen...

- It's not his choice.

- Gwen.

I promised him that

I would keep away from you.

And now I'm gonna come and

eat dinner with your family.

How can I do this?

What does this make me?

I don't know,

what does that make you?

It makes me not able to

live with myself.

- I thought that it meant you loved me.

- I do love you.

I love you.

Then why isn't that enough?

Huh?

Because what if

something happens to you

just like it happened to him

because of me?

- No, wait, wait, wait.

- Listen. No, n...

I cannot let that happen.

Listen to me.

You're Spider-Man...

and I love that.

But I love Peter Parker more.

()

That's worth it to me.

I can't lose you too.

If because you can't lose me,

we can't be together,

who does that work out for, Peter?

I can't. I'm sorry, Gwen.

Wow.

You have done this to me

again and again, Peter.

I can't live like this.

I break up with you.

I break up with you.

REPORTER 1:

Good morning, New Yorkers.

Looking for another beautiful day

here in the city.

A few clouds to start us off...

REPORTER 2:
The steady increase in sightings

of Spider-Man has sparked a debate

over the role of vigilantism

in American crime fighting.

REPORTER 3:

How about that Spider-Man?

Last night on the Manhattan

Bridge, he saved a dozen lives.

We wanna hear your calls.

MAN 1:
I think without Spider-Man,

there'd be no hope for this city.

MAN 2:
Who do you think pays the bills

for all the damages he causes, huh?

It's you and me, taxpayers.

- You make this?

- Yeah.

This is a wind turbine.

You made this? No way.

This is amazing.

It's good as new, right?

I'll walk you home.

- What's your name?

- Jorge.

Jorge? I'm Spider-Man.

MAN:
I don't feel like my kids

are safe with him out there.

Get out of the way and let

the police do their job.

WOMAN 1:
Some folks think that there

might be more than one Spider-Man.

(SHRIEKS)

What do you think?

One guy or many?

WOMAN 2:
I'd love to know

who's behind that mask.

Hey.

- Nice outfit.

- Thanks.

RADIO HOST:
We have a caller on the line

named Max. He says he knows Spider-Man.

MAX:
Listen, I'm upset. Spider-Man,

to me, is being misunderstood.

He's a very, very good person.

He's protecting us.

He saved my life one time.

We sort of became best friends.

SPIDER-MAN (IN MUFFLED VOICE):

How much?

Hey, you're that spider guy.

I'm Spider-Man.

Huh?

(SNEEZES THEN GRUNTS)

I'm Spider-Man.

MAN:
This Spider-Man... He's not

the police, he's not a fireman.

What gives him the right to get

involved in other people's business?

()

(SIREN WAILING IN DISTANCE)

(CHATTERING)

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

MAY:
Peter, honey?

Can I come in?

(PETER GRUNTS)

No!

Peter, the final

starts at 9, honey.

You said you would

take my car into the shop

because it keeps dying, remember?

Give me a second, Aunt May. I'm gonna

get the door. Just give me a second.

Peter, please just let me in.

All right?

I'm trying to get my...

You said your final was at 9, and

you're gonna take my car into the shop.

- No! You can't come in. I'm so naked.

- What are you do...?

Peter! For goodness sakes.

You said you're gonna take my car

into the shop because it kee...!

- Are you all right?

- Yeah. I'm okay.

I'm just...

I'm very naked right now.

What happened to your face?

It's filthy.

- It is?

- Yes.

Oh, yeah, yeah, I was

cleaning the chimney.

We have no chimney.

What?

- You're late.

- I know, I'm late.

Downstairs, now.

- Can you leave? Because I'm naked here.

- All right, I'm leaving.

- Morning, I love you.

- I love you too. Hurry up.

()

(INAUDIBLE DIALOGUE)

()

Whoa. Well, look who's here.

Spidey.

How was your morning?

Aces, Max, aces.

I've been out saving the world.

Protecting everybody.

But is someone celebrating

a birthday today?

That's why you're here.

You remembered my birthday.

(LAUGHS)

All the crime-fighting you've

been doing, and all of a sudden,

you take time out to come visit

little old me. Max. It's amazing to...

But of course you would.

Why wouldn't you visit me?

We're best friends.

What are you doing?

You made me a cake?

People don't get a chance to see these

small, kind things that you do for people.

I know what they say

about you in the press

but it doesn't matter to me.

I know the real you.

Because you're amazing.

Wow. That's what the press needs.

They should call you

The Amazing Spider-Man.

You like that, Spidey?

I like it a lot, Max.

Good. Because today

is going to be

amazing.

Yeah. Circuit 39.

I'm not late, Harvey.

I'll be there in 15 minutes.

I just wanna know if you

can find another waitress

to replace me because I start

my training rounds

at the hospital.

And don't mention this to Peter.

I don't want him to know.

Because he'll worry.

Uh, yeah. Yeah. Okay, you got it.

Uh, double shift on Thursday.

Okay, bye.

- Who was that?

- Harvey.

- Doing a double shift, huh?

- Sometimes.

Got nothing else to do.

I like the girls.

I miss Ben. Gives me a little extra

in the cookie jar. Heh.

Mm.

Well, I sold another couple of photos

to the Bugle, so that ought to help.

Yeah, it would really help if that guy

would pay you a fair wage.

Jameson pays me a fair wage.

If it was 1961, he

pays me a fair wage.

Hey, wait. What are you doing? What

are you doing? No, I do the laundry.

- I'm doing my laundry.

- No, I do the laundry.

No, this is my job. I've been doing

your laundry since you were 6 years old.

I understand that.

I'm in college now.

I think it's time that I took care of

my own dirty underwear.

Last time you did the laundry,

you turned everything blue and red

- so no.

- That was a mistake.

Because I was washing

the American flag.

- My... Can I please just...?

- No one washes a flag.

I do, and I won't anymore.

- This is my machine.

- Fine. It's just underwear.

This is my laundry, my home,

my machine.

Back off, eat your breakfast.

All right, laundry sheriff.

I'll do it later.

- I'll do it.

- No, forget it.

- Give it to me.

- I'll do it some other time.

()

- MAN:
Hey.

- Excuse me.

Jerk.

Not gonna make it.

Logjam. Come on, come on, come on.

- MAN 1:
Watch it, buddy.
