Spider-Man 2

She looks at me every day.

Mary Jane Watson.

Oh, boy. If she only knew how I felt about her.

But she can never know.

I made a choice once to live a life of responsibility.

A life she can never be a part of.

Who am I?

I'm Spider-Man, given a job to do.

And I'm Peter Parker, and I, too, have a job.

Parker. Parker!

No, no, no, stop! Stop!

Parker, you're late, man. Always late.

I'm sorry, Mr. Aziz. There was a disturbance.

Another disturbance. Always a disturbance with you.

Come on, 21 minutes ago, in comes order.

Harmattan, Burton & Smith. Eight extra-large deep-dish pizzas.

In eight minutes, I am defaulting on Joe's 29-minute guarantee.

Then, not only am I receiving no money for these pizzas...

...but I will lose the customer forever to Pizza Yurt.

Look, you are my only hope, all right? You have to make it in time.

Peter, you're a nice guy. But you're just not dependable.

This is your last chance.

You have to go 42 blocks in 7 1/2 minutes or your ass is fired.

Go!

What, are you stupid?

He stole that guy's pizzas!

I'm gonna get it!

Hey, you guys. No playing in the streets.

Yes, Mr. Spider-Man.

See you.

Way to go, Spidey!

Pizza time.

You're late.

I'm not paying for those.

Joe's 29-minute guarantee is a promise, man.

I know to you, Parker, a promise means nothing.

But to me, it's serious.

It's serious to me too, Mr. Aziz.

- You're fired. Go. - Please, I need this job.

- You're fired. - Look, give me another chance.

You're fired.

- Parker, hello. You're fired. - Why?

Dogs catching Frisbees?

Pigeons in the park? A couple geezers playing chess?

- Boss. - Not now.

The Bugle could show another side of New York for a change.

We got six minutes to deadline, Jonah. We need page one.

I don't pay you to be a sensitive artiste. I pay you... Still not now!

I pay you because that psycho Spider-Man will pose for you.

He won't let me take any more pictures.

- You turned the whole city against him. - A fact I'm very proud of.

Get your pretty little portfolio off my desk before I go into a diabetic coma.

- It's your wife, she lost her checkbook. - Thanks for the good news.

Please, isn't there any of these shots you can use? I need the money.

- Miss Brant? Get me a violin. - Yes.

Five minutes to deadline, Jonah.

Run a picture of a rancid chicken. Here's the headline:

"Food Poisoning Scare Sweeps City."

- Some food got poisoned? - I'm a little nauseous.

All right, Mr. Jameson.

It stinks. Robbie, there's your page one.

"Masked Menace Terrorizes Town."

I told you, he's not a menace.

- I told you... - I'll take care of it.

- I'll give you 150. - Three hundred.

That's outrageous.

Done. Give this to the girl.

Thank you. Bye-bye.

Hi.

Hey, Pete.

I don't think this covers the advance I gave you a couple weeks ago.

- Right. - Sorry.

Hey.

Chin up, okay?

Watch it, jerk!

Oh, hey.

Dr. Connors. Sorry.

Where were you headed, Parker?

To your class.

My class is over.

See me standing here?

I'm sorry. I'm trying. I wanna be here.

Then be here.

Look at you, Peter.

Your grades have been steadily declining.

You're late for class.

You always appear exhausted.

Your paper on fusion is still overdue.

I know. I'm planning to write it on Dr. Otto Octavius.

Planning is not a major at this university.

Octavius is a friend of mine.

You better do your research, Parker.

Get it done, or I'm failing you.

Surprise!

- Well, say something. - What's the occasion?

- Oh, really, Peter. It's your birthday! - "What's the occasion?"

Whether you want to remember it or not.

He lives in another reality. Don't you, Pete?

- Hi, M.J. - Hi.

- Hey, buddy. - Hey.

Long time, no see.

So how's the play? I read a great review.

It's going fine. It's going good.

She's brilliant in it.

Harry sent me roses.

So where you been, pal? You don't return my calls.

I've been busy.

Taking pictures of Spider-Man? How's the bug these days?

The less you see of that man, the better.

Now, let's all go into the other room and have something to eat.

I'll get the hors d'oeuvres.

So how are things going at OSCORP?

They're great. I'm head of Special Projects.

We're about to make a breakthrough on fusion.

How lovely, Harry. Your father would be so proud, rest his soul.

Thank you.

We're actually funding one of your idols, Pete. Otto Octavius.

- I'm writing a paper on him. - You want to meet him?

You'd introduce me?

You bet. Octavius is gonna put OSCORP on the map...

...in a way my father never even dreamed of.

M.J., could you give me a hand?

She's waiting for you, pal.

What do you mean?

The way she looks at you or doesn't look at you.

However you want to look at it.

I don't have time for girls right now.

Why, are you dead?

I've been kind of busy.

Taking pictures of your friend?

Could we get off that subject?

I want us to be friends, Harry. I want us to trust each other.

Then be honest with me.

If you knew who he was, would you tell me?

May.

Oh, what, Ben?

Wait.

- Aunt May. - Oh, my.

Oh, Peter. Oh, for a second there, I thought I was years ago.

Everybody's gone, aren't they?

Did they have a good time?

I'm sure they did.

- You okay? - Of course. But you go home.

And be careful.

I don't like that scooter thing you drive around.

I'm worried about you.

You're so alone. And I saw the letter from the bank.

Oh, my. You did?

Oh, well.

So?

I'm a little behind.

Everybody is.

Anyway, I don't want to talk about it anymore.

I'm tired, and you better start back home.

Here, kiddo. Happy birthday.

You need it more than I do.

- No, I can't take that from you. - Yes, you can!

You can take this money from me.

For God's sake, it's not much. Now take it!

And don't you dare leave it here.

Oh, I'm sorry.

It's just that I miss your uncle Ben so much.

Can you believe that it's two years next month since he was taken?

I think to myself at times...

...were I to face the one responsible for what happened, I'd...

Oh, I don't know what I'd do.

Now...

...you better take the rest of your cake home.

Hey.

Hey. You're still here.

I saw your billboard on Bleecker.

Isn't it funny? I'm really kind of embarrassed.

Don't be. It's nice. I get to see you every day now.

I liked seeing you tonight, Peter.

Oh, boy, yeah.

"Oh, boy, yeah" what?

Nothing.

Do you want to say something?

I...

...was...

...wondering if you're still in the Village.

You're such a mystery.

Peter.

What?

Happy birthday.

I'm seeing somebody now.

You mean, like a boyfriend?

Well, like I like him.

What?

Nothing.

That's good, you know? Companionship...

May be more than that.

More?

I don't know.

I'm coming to see your play tomorrow night.

- You're coming? - I'll be there.

Don't disappoint me.

I won't.

Rent.

- Hi. - Hi. What's "hi"?
