Act 3, Scene 19

Spiderman deposits Bob on a rooftop next to a sports bag left there. Bob picks up the sports bag.

SPIDERMAN: What will you do now?

BOB: Change my clothes I think.

SPIDERMAN: I meant in general, Bob.

BOB: I don't know. Mr. Stewart said he'd help me out, get me some work.

SPIDERMAN: Aren't you afraid?

BOB: Afraid of what?

SPIDERMAN: Afraid for yourself, for your family…there are going to be people out there who will want you dead for who they think you are.

BOB: I have no family. And as for me…I'll vanish. I'm good at that. I can do it without even trying. Even if you're right – the world thinks I'm Spiderman. Me. Bob Hesselmeyer. A superhero. I'd have to look down to see heaven. But hey, you know all this already, right?

Spiderman looks out over New York.

SPIDERMAN: (quietly)Right.

He doubles over suddenly in pain, his suit rippling, his breath coming in gasps. We hear the low growl of the symbiote.

BOB: Man, what's wrong? Can I help?

SPIDERMAN: Get away from me!

He pushes Bob away and runs for the edge of the roof. By the time Bob has caught up and looked over the side he is long gone.
