CAPTAIN AMERICA: Spider-Man, I'm sorry, I would help you any other time you asked, but I can't now, breaking into a hospital is just...

GREEN GOBLIN: Your end is now, Spider-Man!
PETER(THINKING): Great, now my worst enemy is actually still alive! And he's figured out who I am. This is not good.
GREEN GOBLIN: I've discovered your most unknown secret, but sadly, you won't even live long enough to see me reveal it to the world. If anyone deserves to die Parker, it's you, you attacked me as Spider-Man, you hurt my son as Peter Parker. I'll kill you Parker but first, I'll make you suffer!
GREEN GOBLIN PULLS OUT A PUMPKIN BOMB FILLED WITH KNOCKOUT GAS AND THROWS IT AT PETER'S FACE. THE SCREEN GOES BLACK THEN SWITCHES TO PETER OPENING HIS EYES, YOU CAN NOW SEE THAT HE IS TIED UP WITH A THICK STEEL CABLE LYING DOWN ON TOP OF A BRIDGE WITH GWEN LYING UNCONSCIOUS A FEW FEET AWAY FROM HIM AND GREEN GOBLIN STANDING OVER THEM, LAUGHING.
GREEN GOBLIN: I've beaten you at last Parker, but before I kill you, there's a show I'd like you to see, I call it "The Death of Gwen Stacy". Anything you'd like to tell me before she dies?
PETER:Yeah, you're about to destroy the only person your son cares about.
GREEN GOBLIN: That's not true, she worked with you...t-to hurt Harry.
PETER: No, you don't understand, we're Harry's friends!
PETER(THINKING): I've got to keep him talking long enough that I can snap this cable...
GREEN GOBLIN: It doesn't matter! You betrayed Harry! And for that, you must die!
PETER(THINKING): Yes! I'm free of my bonds, I just need to reach my web- shooter...
GREEN GOBLIN: I'll ask you one last time, any last words?
PETER: Just two, Shut up!
PETER PULLS OUT HIS WEB-SHOOTER AND SHOOTS A WEB AT THE GOBLIN'S FACE.
GREEN GOBLIN:Aaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgg ggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh !
PETER RIPS OFF HIS BONDS AND CHANGES INTO HIS SPIDER-MAN
COSTUME.
SPIDER-MAN: Leave Gwen out of this, this is between you, and me!

GREEN GOBLIN: Never!
SPIDER-MAN: I WON'T LET YOU HURT HER!

SPIDER-MAN: Stay away from Gwen, do you hear me! STAY AWAY!
GREEN GOBLIN: Nooooooo! She is just as guilty as you are! The two of you worked together to hurt my son, and you'll die together as well!
SPIDER-MAN: The only person who's going to die today is you!

SPIDER-MAN HAS PULLED GWEN UP AND HAD TAKEN HER PULSE, HE REALIZES THAT HER HEART ISN'T BEATING.
SPIDER-MAN: Nooooooooooooo!
GREEN GOBLIN: Hahahahahahahahahaha!
SPIDER-MAN: You think this is funny Osborn? You think this is game? It's not. You killed the only girl I'll ever love, and for that, you're going to die!
GREEN GOBLIN: You're going to be the next to die, not me, you're going to meet your end now!
SPIDER-MAN: I'll kill you!
SPIDER-MAN STARTS PUNCHING GREEN GOBLIN IN THE FACE REPEATEDLY AND THROWS HIM OFF THE BRIDGE. THE GOBLIN GRABS ONTO THE LEDGE AND HIS MASK FALLS OFF.
NORMAN: Peter... help me...please.
SPIDER-MAN: Why should I, you're a maniac, and you just murdered Gwen.
SPIDER-MAN(THINKING): Am I really going to just let him die? What about Harry, his dad's still alive, doesn't he deserve a chance at being happy for once? I've got to help him.
SPIDER-MAN: Osborn, take my hand, you don't deserve death, it's too good for you, you're going to spend the rest of your life rotting away, in jail.
SPIDER-MAN REACHES DOWN, GRABS OSBORN'S HAND AND PULLS HIM UP TO SAFETY.

GREEN GOBLIN: I'll stop that!
GREEN GOBLIN THROWS A RAZOR BAT AT THE WEBLINE, CUTTING IT.
SPIDER-MAN: Noooooooooooooooo!
SPIDER-MAN LEAPS UP ONTO THE GOBLIN'S BACK.
SPIDER-MAN: Bring this thing down, now!
GREEN GOBLIN: No, I never will!
SPIDER-MAN: Then, I'll just have to make you!
SPIDER-MAN SPINS TWO WEBLINES TO THE GROUND IN FRONT OF THEM, AND THE GLIDER FLIPS OVER, THEN CRASHES TOO THE GROUND. SPIDER-MAN STANDS UP, HIS COSTUME IS NOW IN TATTERS.
SPIDER-MAN: Give up Norman, it's over.
NORMAN: Never!
NORMAN REACHES DOWN AND PUSHES A BUTTON ON HIS BELT. THE GOBLIN GLIDER BEGINS RISING UP BEHIND PETER. IT SURGES FORWARD. SPIDER SENSE LINES APPEAR OVER PETER'S HEAD. HE JUMPS UP INTO THE AIR AND THE GLIDER SURGES PAST HIM AND INTO NORMAN'S CHEST.
NORMAN: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaau uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh!
NORMAN COLLAPSES TO THE GROUND, DEAD. SWITCH SCENES TO PETER STANDING ON TOP OF THE BRIDGE, CRADLING GWEN'S BODY IN HIS ARMS.
SPIDER-MAN: I'm sorry Gwen, sorry I couldn't save you. It's funny, I though that if the Goblin died, I'd feel...better, but instead I'm just...empty. Goodbye Gwen, I love you.
