The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Page #3

- MAN 2:
Hey, let's go.

KARI:
Oscorp Industries

is proud to announce the world's

first electromagnetic power grid.

By converting aging power stations

into a field of hydroelectric towers,

we are generating clean, green,

sustainable energy

to power Manhattan,

the five boroughs

and eventually the world

for generations to come.

- Dillon. You're late.

- Doggone trains are so slow, sir.

Don't you realize Oscorp

is now responsible

for the entire city's

energy supply?

I submitted a lot of designs

for the power grid

and they used a lot of them,

and I noticed that,

and those power grids

were designed by me.

You designed them?

Sure you did.

And I'm Spider-Man.

You're no Spider-Man!

He's a Leo, you're a Sagittarius!

You besmirch him again, I'm gonna

rip your well-groomed head off!

Now, get to work.

What floor, please?

- Seventy-four.

- Thank you.

GWEN:
Oh, hold that!

- Can you hold that, please?

- I got it.

Thank you, you're a real gentleman.

Most people would have

just let those close.

Most people

don't notice other people.

- KARI:
What floor, please?

- Um, ahem... Sixty-three...

I got it. I got it. What is it?

Uh, sixty-three.

MAX:
Sixty-three, please.

- Thank you.

- MAX:
In a hurry.

Thank you very much.

(CLEARS THROAT)

Um... I'm Max. Max Dillon.

I'm Gwen.

- Nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you.

Is it your birthday?

Oh, yeah. Well, I... They... Friends

of mine made this flyer up.

I'm having a birthday

party at a big club.

- A lot of celebrities.

- Wow.

Would love to invite you, it's

just that the guest list is closed.

Oh, got it. Got it.

Well, thank you anyway.

- That's exciting.

- MAN:
...dressed as Spider-Man

hanging out near the blaze.

It must be cool, huh? To have

the whole world look at you like that?

You know, Spider-Man

saved my life one time.

Out of all the people

in the whole city, he saved

me.

He said he needed me.

That must be a good feeling.

KARI:
Sixty-third floor.

Oh. It was nice to meet you, Max.

Wait. She remembered my name.

()

Welcome home.

MENKEN:
It's dark in there.

Your eyes will adjust.

It's better this way.

(MONITOR BEEPING)

()

Dad.

This is not how I

imagined I would die.

Looking at my son

and seeing a stranger.

You have such potential, Harry.

Such fierce intelligence,

and you're throwing it all away.

No, you threw me away.

(SIGHS)

You kicked me off to

boarding school when I was 11.

On my 16th birthday,

you sent me Scotch.

Or one of your assistants did.

I'm pretty sure

because the card read:

With compliments, Norman Osborn."

I don't expect forgiveness from you

anymore.

I don't believe in miracles.

How could you possibly understand

that your childhood

had to be sacrificed

for something greater?

And not just for me.

For you!

Has your hand

started to twitch yet?

()

When you lay awake

and you feel it coming,

hiding under your skin,

waiting to show itself.

To show you

who you really are.

(COUGHING)

Retroviral hyperplasia.

(GRUNTING)

I never told you...

that it's genetic.

Our disease,

the Osborn curse.

And it began at your age.

Let me see it.

Your hand. Give it to me.

()

The greatest inheritance

I can give you

isn't merely money.

It's this.

The sum total of all my work.

Everything I did to stay alive.

Maybe you can succeed

where I failed.

(SIGHS)

(COMPUTER CHIMES)

NEWS ANCHOR (ON TV): Norman Osborn, the legendary

founder and CEO of Oscorp Industries, has died,

the Osborn estate has confirmed.

He is survived by his

only son, Harry Osborn

who is the sole heir of the

Oscorp corporate empire.

Harry.

Osborn changed the medical

profession's approach to human healing

and affected

the lives of millions.

I started Oscorp because I looked at

the world around me and I thought:

"We can do better.

And we should do better."

Einstein said, "The world cannot be

changed without changing our thinking."

But change isn't just a slogan.

It begins with hard work.

Change begins with

persistence and commitment.

Mr. Osborn changed the world.

And now it's up to each of us to ensure

that his hopes and dreams remain alive.

But not today.

(CELL PHONE BUZZING)

Today is for mourning.

- Hello?

- WOMAN:
Is this Gwen Stacy?

Yes, it is. Who's calling?

I'm calling from the Oxford Scholars

Program. We have some exciting news.

(CHATTERING)

- Whoa. Dillon. You stay here.

- What?

There's a current flow problem in

the lab. Why don't you take a look?

It's my birthday. Everybody else

is leaving. Why do I have to stay?

- Because you're special.

- MAX:
Smythe.

I mean, Mr. Smythe.

Happy birthday.

KARI:
Bioelectrogenesis:

(SKIPPING) The generation of electricity

by living organisms to fend off...

Let's see what's going

on with you. Hey, guys.

The genetically manipulated...

At least somebody's partying.

All right. Just a little sick.

Mm-hm. I got your medicine, though.

I'm so sick that I can't get to my birthday

after all I put together for this company.

Designed the grid...

(GRUNTS)

- KARI:
Warning:

- I should've stretched.

- Malfunction in Sector 5A.

- I know. Just a little indigestion.

I bet you didn't know it was

my birthday, huh, did you, Kari?

Think you can sing

Happy Birthday" for me?

I'll just have to sing it

for myself.

- Gilbert?

- GILBERT:
What?

It's Max. Can we shut down

power on Sector 32, please?

Forget it. I'm out the door.

What do you mean?

I'm up here. It's dangerous.

- Sorry, Max.

- Hello?

Fine. I'll do it myself.

And sing my birthday song too.

This is crazy.

Happy birthday

To

Me

Happy birthday, dear Max

()

Happy birthday

To me

(ELECTRICITY HISSING)

Ah...

(SCREAMING)

()

(SCREAMING)

KARI (IN NORMAL VOICE):

System restored.

Have a nice day.

MENKEN:
Harry,

Oscorp's been under

intense public scrutiny

in the wake of

Dr. Connors' recent, uh,

breach of trust.

You mean people are pissed off

because he tried to turn everyone

in New York City into giant lizards.

Given that,

all the animal hybrid programs

he was involved in were destroyed

to restore investor confidence.

Ah. That is the Osborn way.

Whatever's inconvenient around

here, just get rid of it, right?

Much of that scrutiny

may fall on you now.

We felt that plausible deniability

was your best option.

Sure, sure. I get it.

Twenty-year-old kid.

Two hundred billion dollar company.

What was Dad thinking?

I mean, you're all lawyers, right?

Surely, someone must've

questioned his sanity in the end.

Someone must've thought about having

him declared legally incompetent.

It would've made this

conversation a lot easier.

- Harry...

- It's Mr. Osborn.

We're not friends.

Hi.

You were his assistant, right?

Mm-hm.

What's your name?

Felicia.

HARRY:
Felicia.

From now on,

everybody at this table

works for Felicia

because Felicia works for me.

Would anybody like to speak up?

Well, good. Then you can all

keep yourjobs a little longer.

(SOFTLY) Sir, there's a Peter

Parker here to see you.
