Spider-Man

Spider-Man • Bank Thug 1

[Spider-Man, Daredevil, Punisher and Captain America sit at a table playing a game of cards]
Captain America: So, Punisher, do you have any threes?
Punisher: Go fish! So, nice of you to join us for *once,* Spidey!
Spider-Man: Oh, I'm sorry. I was out *saving the world.* Beating you guys at cards ought to be pretty easy.
Daredevil: Your spider-sense *won't* save you here.
Punisher: Look who's talking, Daredevil! You've been looking at *my cards* all night!
Daredevil: I don't *need* to look at your cards, Punisher. Your bluffs are *so* obvious.
Captain America: Okay, okay. Let's keep this a nice, friendly, *clean* game.
[Punisher groans and turns to Captain America]
Punisher: Who keeps *inviting* this guy?
[the card game is interrupted by loud music]
Spider-Man: Hey, would you keep it *down?*
[Human Torch and Black Cat are dancing to music playing on a boom-box]
Johnny Storm: Hey, loosen up, kids! I'm on *fire!*

[within the Avengers jet, Spider-Man sits in the co-pilot seat next to Captain America, while Black Cat and Venom sit between an unconscious Doctor Octopus]
Captain America: It's a good thing Black Cat gave me a call, son.
Spider-Man: Looks like just in time.
[Venom leans close to Spider-Man from behind]
Venom: Hey, Spidey, could you get us Captain America's autograph?
Spider-Man: Oh, brother.

Peter Parker: [after seeing "Spider-Man" steal a machine] Last time I checked, *I* was Spider-Man.

Spider-Man: [after defeating a criminal guard] One taken down by your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man.

[Spider-Man runs through a golden spider icon and dons his Spider-Armor suit]
Spider-Man: Haven't used this Spidey Armor much before. It could be useful here.

[Spider-Man smashes through a window and finds Scorpion about to attack Jameson]
Spider-Man: Leave him alone, Chuckles!
Scorpion: Butt out, web-head!
J. Jonah Jameson: Spider-Man? I ask for the police and I get THIS?

[Spider-Man sits on the crown of the Statue of Liberty and the Human Torch is flying nearby]
Spider-Man: Well, that's my story, Johnny.
Johnny Storm: Looks like you're in a lot of trouble. You'll find Venom!
Spider-Man: But how? Venom is invisible to my spider-sense!
Johnny Storm: Knowing your luck, Venom will find *you*! Have faith, Spidey!
[the Human Torch flies off and Spider-Man looks at the city with a sigh]
Spider-Man: Where could she be?
[back in the city, Spider-Man swings over the city]
Spider-Man: I've got to find her! I've got no choice!
[Venom follows after Spider-Man, swinging from web to web]
Venom: Wah, wah, wah! What a wuss!
[Spider-Man turns and notices Venom now swinging alongside him]
Venom: Hey, wanna race?
[Venom laughs and swings off, with Spider-Man following after him]
Venom: Parker HATES it when I get the drop on him!
Spider-Man: Ugh! I HATE it when he gets the drop on me!

[Spider-Man confronts the Impostor Spider-Man]
Spider-Man: I've got to say, you look just like me. Except you're more "angry back alley" than "friendly neighborhood".
Impostor Spider-Man: Oh. For decades, I've wanted to shut that mouth of yours! Finally, that time is upon me!
[the Impostor Spider-Man changes into Mysterio]
Mysterio: At last! I will crush you, once and for all!
[Mysterio laughs as he grows to giant size and looks down at Spider-Man]
Mysterio: And now, little Spider, you will *die!*
[Mysterio lifts up his foot to step on Spider-Man and Spider-Man nervously chuckles as he steps back]
Spider-Man: Is it too late for us to be friends?

[as Spider-Man confronts Doctor Octopus and Carnage, Venom suddenly appears in the room]
Venom: Speaking of crushed.
Spider-Man: Huh?
Venom: It's showtime, freaks!
[Venom turns to Carnage]
Venom: Ooh! I smell *bad* symbiote - and it ain't me!
Carnage: Bring it on, *grandpa!*
[Carnage and Venom fight, which leads them up into the next room and leaves Spider-Man alone with Doctor Octopus]
Spider-Man: Alone at last!
Doctor Octopus: Let us *end* this, Spider-Man!

[Spider-Man runs down a tunnel and into a laboratory, where two men stand and are silhouetted by the room's white light]
Spider-Man: Listen, whoever you are. No one can control the symbiotes. *No one!*
[the lights turn off and show Doctor Octopus standing on a platform, with a growling Carnage standing at his side]
Doctor Octopus: I need not control the symbiotes, Spider-Man.
Spider-Man: *Doc Ock?*
Doctor Octopus: We will work as one. 'Tis a new world. Humanity needs the skills that *my* technology will give them. Symbiosis is the only way.
Spider-Man: I should've known a reformed Doc Ock was too good to be true!
[Doctor Octopus's four tentacles emerge from behind him and snap with a life of their own]
Doctor Octopus: A perfect world order! Those who do not share my vision will be *crushed* by it!

[Mary Jane dangles by her arms from chains from under a grate in the floor and a tank of water lies far beneath her]
Mary Jane: Help! Is anybody there? Help me!
[Spider-Man runs over and crouches down to look at Mary Jane]
Spider-Man: Mary Jane!
Mary Jane: Please!
[Spider-Man turns around as Venom appears nearby]
Venom: Hey! You made it!
Spider-Man: Venom!
Venom: I'd let you see your wifey-poo, but she's in the bath right now!
[Venom flips up a switch with his web and the water rises as Mary Jane screams]
Mary Jane: Peter, help! No!
Venom: So, what do you say, Spidey? Let's finish this!
[Venom laughs as he disappears]

[Spider-Man sticks to a billboard for The Daily Gossip newspaper and looks at the headline]
Spider-Man: Monsters infest sewers.
[Spider-Man laughs]
Spider-Man: Yeah, right.

[before he fights Carnage, Spider-Man notices a bubble made of sonic vibrations nearby]
Spider-Man: That's a sonic bubble in the middle of the room. Seeing as how the only two that symbiotes hate are fire and sonics, I'm guessing Ock made it just in case Carnage tried to double-cross him. Well, I'd better not let it go to waste.
