(He swings down)

Spider-Man: You know, the entrance is that way.

Lead Thug: Oh yeah?

(Lead Thug reaches into his jacket)

(Spider-Man kicks Lead Thug backwards and he hits the ground)

Spider-Man: Yeah.

(The other thugs come after him and Spider-Man disposes of them with punches and kicks)

(Lead Thug stands up)

Lead Thug: Punk!

(Lead Thug pulls out… a cell phone!)

Spider-Man: Wha?

(Lead Thug dials 911)

Lead Thug: feigned fright My name is Charlie Wilkins, and I was walking with my friends when Spider-Man swooped down and beat them up. I'm at the corner of 5th and Woodchuck!

Spider-Man: Hey! That's a lie…

Charlie: into the phone Ahh! Get away from me! Ahh!

(Charlie hangs up)

Charlie: Ahh… Ha!

Spider-Man: You liar!

Charlie: What are you gonna do? Beat me up?

(Spider-Man backs away in horror)

Spider-Man: It's a set-up!

Charlie: smiling I think I hear the cops now!

Spider-Man swings away

Charlie: I never did like vigilantes.

(Cut to…)

(Spider-Man swings through the window and takes his mask off)

Peter Parker: Mary Jane! You won't believe what…

(A knock is at the door)

Peter Parker: Oh no.

(He looks through the peephole)

Peter Parker: No, no, no!

(Peter opens the door in regular attire)

(John Jameson is there)

John: Hello. I was wondering if you've seen Mary Jane Watson.

Peter: No, I haven't seen her in a while. Why?

John: She left me at the alter. I don't know why. I wonder if she was threatened to leave. I mean, with the recent attack of Doc Ock. I just want to know if she's alright.

Peter: I haven't seen her, but I'm sure that she's alright.

John: Well, with her play tonight, I can ask her.

Peter: Play?

John: Yeah. Nice talking to you, Peter. Bye.

Peter: Bye.

(Peter closes the door)

Peter: Man.

(We cut to…)

(Lionel gets out of a car and walks out to a man)

Man: Is it done?

Lionel: It's done.

Man: Good.

Lionel: Good.

Man: Well, you can leave now.

Lionel: Where's my money?

Man: What money?

Lionel: Don't act stupid. Financial benefit was part of the deal.

Man: Fine print was also part of the deal.

(Lionel seethes)

Man: But if you want to benefit from murder, come with me.

Lionel: I'm not about to go to jail for something I thought you were paying me to do.

Man: Oh please. Jail is not the only benefit of murder. "A life for a life."

Lionel: Yes, and your life would do just fine to make up for the crooked cop I had to murder.

Man: Your job was to kill Cole.

Lionel: By any means necessary.

(Man looks at Lionel)

Lionel: smiling Fine print.

Man: You're a smug son of a gun, you know that?

Lionel: Yeah.

Man: Smug people don't live long.

Lionel: Please! You didn't really think I was in it for financial benefit, did you? You always did find a way to read between the lines, anyway. No. This is something big. Cole was talking about an atomic test center. Now why would he be talking about an atomic test center, huh, Mr. Price?

Mr. Price: He could've been delusional.

Lionel: The man knew what he was talking about. Now, get me in on the action or I go to

the cops with evidence leading back to you as the man responsible for the wounding of Maria Jameson and the killings of Cole Peterson and Calvin Bond.

Mr. Price: Name one good reason why I shouldn't kill you right now.

Lionel: Because that's what would set off the evidence. You've got two choices: let me in on the action, or kill me and be in Island Prison in less than a week.

(Mr. Price thinks for a bit)

Mr. Price: Get in the car.

Lionel: Wise choice.

(They get in the car as we cut to…)

(Oscorp)

(Harry walks in Norman's GG chamber)

(He walks up to a mask and looks at it)

(After a few moments, he raises the mask to his face and halfway puts it on)

(He instantly puts it down and shudders at the thought)

(We cut to…)

(Peter Parker listening to a play)

Actor: I vain I have struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you.

(Peter sighs)

Mary Jane Watson: In such cases as this, it is, I believe, the established mode to express a sense of obligation…

(The play continues indistinctly as Peter notices John towards the front of the audience)

(Peter sighs again as we cut to…)

(A car pulls up at a construction site)

(Lionel and Mr. Price get out)

Lionel: A construction site?

Mr. Price: No, that's just a cover.

Lionel: And it's close to Island Prison. Your home in a couple of years.

(Mr. Price hits Lionel with the butt of his gun)

(Lionel whips around and pulls out his gun)

(Two of Mr. Price's guards hold their guns on Lionel)

Mr. Price: I suggest that you drop your smug attitude.

Lionel: I suggest…

(Lionel whips around and hits one of Price's guards with his gun)

(Mr. Price fires and Lionel uses the other guard as a shield)

Lionel:… that you ask me to drop more than the attitude.

Mr. Price: Fine. Come with me. And drop the gun.

Lionel: Drop yours first.

(Mr. Price drops his)

(Lionel keeps his up)

Lionel: Hah. You're stupid.

(Fear flashes across Mr. Price's face)

(Lionel drops it)

Lionel: Just kidding.

(Mr. Price sighs with relief)

Lionel: Now, what is this a cover for?

Mr. Price: Come with me and I will show you the future.

(Mr. Price leads Lionel over a hill where a giant atomic test center lays)

Mr. Price: Think of the profits!

Lionel: Think of the exploitations!

Mr. Price: Do you only think of hurting people?

Lionel: Do you only think of money?

(they both start to chuckle as we cut to…)
