Spider-Man: Gwen, you're not coming with me.

Spider-Man: Okay, shut up. You're coming with me! Shut the thing.

[from trailer]

Peter Parker: Yeah, I was implying that.

Aunt May: What happened to your face? It's filthy.

Peter Parker: It is?

Aunt May: Yes!

Electro: It's Max.

Spider-Man: Is it Max?

Electro: Yes.

[Gwen stares in disbelief]

Electro: How could you forget me?

Electro: [furious] YOU LIED TO ME!

Spider-Man: No, no, I'm trying to help you! Let me help you!

[Electro sends a bolt at him, knocking him into a police car]

Spider-Man: You okay? You all right?

Max Dillon: You're Spider-Man.

Spider-Man: Costume gives it away, huh? These look pretty important, Max.

Max Dillon: How do you know my name?

Spider-Man: It's written on your badge.

Max Dillon: I'm a nobody.

Spider-Man: Hey, you're not a nobody. You're a somebody.

[from trailer]

Gwen Stacy: Hi, is Peter home?

Aunt May: No, he's doing... whatever it is he does.

Gwen Stacy: [sighs] Right.

[from trailer]

Harry Osborn: It's been 10 years. What have you been up to?

Peter Parker: I do some web designs.

[from trailer]

Aunt May: I once told you that secrets have a cost. The truth does too.

Harry Osborn: [to Electro] Psst! I'm gonna get you out of here, alright. But we don't have much time.

Electro: Who are you?

Harry Osborn: I'm Harry Osborn. I want to make you a deal.

Electro: I should kill you.

Harry Osborn: Oh, come on. Think bigger, Max. I'm not the one you want. You want Spider-Man and I can give him to you.

Aleksei Sytsevich: [waves his rhino suit's metal fists] You fight me! You fight me now!

Spider-Man: You want me to come down there so you can kill me?

Aleksei Sytsevich: Yes!

Spider-Man: Okay, I'll be right there.

[last lines]

Spider-Man: There really is no place like home.

Spider-Man: On behalf of the fine people of New York and real rhinos everywhere, I ask you to put your mechanized paws in the air!

Aleksei Sytsevich: Never! I crush you, I kill you! I destroy you!

Electro: You're too late, Spider-Man. I designed this power grid. Now I'm gonna take back what is rightfully mine. I will control everything. And I will be like a god to them.

Spider-Man: A god named Sparkles?

Green Goblin: Peter. When you said Spider-Man said no, you meant *you* said no.

Spider-Man: Harry, what did you do?

Green Goblin: What you made me do. You were my friend and you BETRAYED ME!

Spider-Man: No. I was trying to protect you.

Green Goblin: Oh. Look at me.

Spider-Man: Hey, it's gonna be okay. This is gonna be all right.

Green Goblin: You don't give people hope. You take it away.

Spider-Man: No, Harry.

Green Goblin: I'm gonna take away yours.

Spider-Man: No. Gwen, run!

Aunt May: You know, it's so funny I've been trying to clean up around here to be more organized and putting some of Ben's stuff in boxes, and it's so funny, the heavier the box gets the lighter I feel.

Peter Parker: You're throwing his stuff away?

Aunt May: No, god no, I couldn't do that it's part of me, I'm just finding a better place for it. I'm going to take one last look, and I'm going to put it where it belongs.

[first lines]

Richard Parker: People will say I am a monster for what I've done. And maybe they're right. I'd always thought that I'd have more time.

Norman Osborn: This is not how I imagined I would die. Looking at my son and seeing a stranger. You have such potential, Harry. Such fierce intelligence, and you're throwing it all away.

Harry Osborn: No, you threw me away. You kicked me off to boarding school when I was 11. On my 16th birthday, you sent me Scotch. Or one of your assistants did. I'm pretty sure because the card read: "With compliments, Norman Osborn."

Norman Osborn: I don't expect forgiveness from you anymore. I don't believe in miracles. How could you possibly understand that your childhood had to be sacrificed for something greater? And not just for me. For you! Has your hand started to twitch yet? When you lay awake and you feel it coming, hiding under your skin, waiting to show itself. To show you who you really are. Retro viral hyperplasia. I never told you that it's genetic. Our disease, the Osborn curse. And it began at your age. Let me see it. Your hand. Give it to me. The greatest inheritance I can give you isn't merely money. It's this. The sum total of all my work. Everything I did to stay alive. Maybe you can succeed where I failed.

Donald Menken: Harry, Oscorp's been under intense public scrutiny in the wake of Dr. Connors' recent, uh, breach of trust.

Harry Osborn: You mean people are pissed off because he tried to turn everyone in New York City into giant lizards.

Harry Osborn: [watches Peter skip a rock in the water] Dude. Nice arm.

Peter Parker: It's just the wrist. It's just all in the wrist, buddy.

Gwen Stacy: There was an accident in the genomics lab, and they're covering it up. And I found out. That guy from Times Square last night? I met him. He was an electrical engineer in the building. And he loved Spider-Man, by the way. He was, like, a fanatic.

Peter Parker: I didn't get love vibes. I got more of a "want to kill me with his electricity" vibe.

Gwen Stacy: That's actually kind of what it's like to love you.

Peter Parker: This is the maintenance closet, Gwen. This is most cliched hiding place you could've chosen. This is the stupidest hiding place.

Gwen Stacy: I'm sorry, I didn't take us to the Bahamas of hiding places.

Harry Osborn: What did you do?

Donald Menken: The more relevant question is what did you do? And an employee is killed and in your first action as CEO, you cover it up.

Harry Osborn: No, *you* covered it up. Then you buried him in the bughouse using my name.

Donald Menken: Ravencroft is a timeworn institution devoted to mental improvement.

Harry Osborn: You are experimenting on people in there.

Donald Menken: Progress has its stepping stones. Now, in light of your deceptive criminal actions, you've been... How do I put this gently? Fired.

Harry Osborn: You are not going to bury me, too.

Donald Menken: Looks to me like you're halfway in the ground already. It's only a matter of time. You're going to die a horrible death. Like your father. The difference is, no one is going to miss you.

Harry Osborn: How the tables have turned. I know it's hard to admit, but how spectacular a move is this? Am I right?

Electro: Right as rain.

Harry Osborn: Okay, so, Fairy Godmother, it is time to grant me a wish. I want in to Special...

Donald Menken: How dare you come back in here? You recalcitrant, unworthy, defective, urchin freaks.

[Electro zaps Menken]

Harry Osborn: Oh, God, sorry. That's just not the answer we were looking for.

Harry Osborn: You've made progress?

Gustav Fiers: I've identifies several worthy candidates. Now that Spider-Man's gone, this city will never be the same.

Harry Osborn: Oh, I'm counting on that.

Gustav Fiers: Speaking of progress, you're looking better.

Harry Osborn: It comes and goes. Tell me more.

Gustav Fiers: How many men did you have in mind?

Harry Osborn: I want to keep it small. Everything you need is already at OsCorp.

Aunt May: [about graduating high school] I know the first thing your Uncle Ben would say.

Peter Parker: Yeah, I know too. "You better hurry up, party's over. You gotta get a job."

Aunt May: Alright, the second thing he would say: "Don't just follow the path, make your own trail."

Peter Parker: Ralph Waldo Emerson.

Aunt May: No.

Peter Parker: What do you mean, no?

Aunt May: Ben told me he made it up!

Peter Parker: Who was that?

Aunt May: Harvey.

Peter Parker: Doing a double shift, huh?

Aunt May: Sometimes. Got nothing else to do. I like the girls. I miss Ben. Gives me a little extra in the cookie jar.

Peter Parker: Well, I sold another couple of photos to the Bugle, so that ought to help.

Aunt May: Yeah, it would really help if that guy would pay you a fair wage.

Peter Parker: Oh, Jameson pays me a fair wage. If it was 1961, he pays me a fair wage.

Harry Osborn: Peter Parker. It's like seeing a ghost.

Peter Parker: Hey, Harry.

Harry Osborn: Random. What, ten years?

Peter Parker: It's eight. But you're close.

Harry Osborn: What's up?

Peter Parker: I saw the news, man. I heard about your dad and I wanted to come and... Just wanted to come and see you. Check to see how you were doing.

Harry Osborn: I'm with some people. I'm in a... I'm in a meeting.

Peter Parker: Sorry, I don't wanna intrude. I know it's been a long time. I kind of know exactly what you're going through right now. And you were so there for me when my parents... Well, that's why I'm here for you.

Harry Osborn: Thank you.

Peter Parker: It's good to see you, man. It's good to see you. I'm sorry about your dad.

[turns to leave]

Harry Osborn: You got your braces off.

[Peter turns back to him again]

Harry Osborn: Now there's nothing to distract from your unibrow.

[they start to laugh]

Peter Parker: There he is. There he is! You still blow-dry your hair every morning?

Harry Osborn: Well, you know, one of my manservants holds the hair dryer. But I work the comb, okay? So at least I'm not completely helpless.

Peter Parker: You're stupid.

[they hug]

Harry Osborn: I'm sorry he never introduced us. I thought you two had broken up.

Gwen Stacy: Oh... Yeah. Yes, we had. And it's...

Harry Osborn: It's complicated.

Gwen Stacy: Complicated. Yeah.

Harry Osborn: I mean, it's Peter. Everything's always complicated with Peter.

Gwen Stacy: Yeah. Yeah... Yeah, you're right.

Harry Osborn: But that's why he needs you. Right? To help him make his choices clear.

Peter Parker: Did you get my message?

Gwen Stacy: What message?

Peter Parker: The message right there.

Gwen Stacy: Oh, that. That was you?

Peter Parker: Don't do that.

Gwen Stacy: I couldn't make it out.

Peter Parker: I'll tell you what it says. Says, "I love you." Because I love you. And no offence, but you're wrong.

Gwen Stacy: I'm wrong about what?

Peter Parker: You're wrong about us being on different paths. We're not on different paths. You're my path. And you're always gonna be my path. And I know there's a million reasons why we shouldn't be together. I know that. But I'm tired of them. I'm tired of every single one of them. We've all gotta make a choice. Right? Well, I choose you. So, here's my thought. England. Both of us. I'm following you now. I'm just gonna follow you everywhere. I'm just gonna follow you the rest of my life. I mean, they got crime there in England.

Gwen Stacy: Yeah.

Peter Parker: They got tons of crime, it seems.

Gwen Stacy: Tons.

Peter Parker: They got, uh, Jack the Ripper.

[Gwen laughs]

Peter Parker: What? They haven't caught Jack the Ripper yet. You didn't know that?

Gwen Stacy: [after magnetizing Spider-Man's web shooters] And that is why you were number two at Midtown.

Spider-Man: Rub it in. Okay.

[repeated line]

Max Dillon: It's not my fault.

Peter Parker: [returning an earlier conversation, interrupted when he had to save the city] England? Really?

Gwen Stacy: Good talk.

[last lines]

Peter Parker: There's no place like home!

[the Rhino is in a shootout with the police. A little boy in a Spider-Man costume ducks under the barricade]

Jorge's Mother: [his mother sees him run off] No! NO!

[she tries to go after him, but the police hold her back. The boy runs right out into the street]

Police Captain: [notices the boy] Hold your fire! Everybody, hold your fire!

[the boy stops in the middle of the street]

Dispatcher: Unit 2, stand down, stand down.

Dispatcher: Civilian in our line of sight.

[the boy bravely faces Rhino]

Lead Officer: Kid! You gotta get-

[the Rhino shoots at him forcing him to take cover]

Aleksei Sytsevich: [mockingly; about the boy] Look, New York! Spider-Man is back!

Man: Leave the kid alone!

Jorge's Mother: [struggling against the police] That's my baby! Please.

[the boy puts his costume's mask on]

Aleksei Sytsevich: Brave boy, huh? Does Aleksei scare you, little boy?

[the boy stands his ground and Rhino starts to move toward him. All of a sudden, something arrives at the scene making everybody, including the Rhino stop and look]

Spider-Man: Hey, Spider-Man.

[the boy turns around and sees the real Spider-Man standing behind him]

Jorge: [he lifts up his mask] I knew you'd come back.

Spider-Man: Yeah. Thanks for stepping up for me. You're the bravest kid I've ever seen. I'm gonna take care of this jerk. You go take care of your mom. Okay?

[the boy fist-bumps Spider-Man]

Spider-Man: All right, get out of here. Go. Go.

[the boy runs off and is picked up by an officer, who hands him back to his mother, who hugs the boy tightly while the crowd cheers for him]

[last lines]

Spider-Man: There's no place like home.

[In an Oscorp conference room, Peter and Harry watch a video of their fathers]

Norman Osborn: You're looking at the world's first human-spider hybrids.

Richard Parker: The hope is to extract the venom from their glands and turn that into a cure. An agent that heals diseased cells.

Norman Osborn: And if I can be cured, imagine what this could do for other diseases, like Alzheimers, even cancer.

Harry Osborn: [turns off the video] They never made it to human trials. It's fourteen years of research, and nothing to show for it.

[Peter frowns as Harry gets out of his chair]

Harry Osborn: Except maybe this.

[gets a copy of the Daily Bugle and slams it down on the table; Spider-Man's on the cover; Peter looks curious]

Harry Osborn: Spider-Man.

Peter Parker: What about him?

Harry Osborn: He was bitten by one of those things, and it worked! I don't know how and I don't know why, but he can do everything a spider can, including self-heal. I need to find him. I need his blood.

Peter Parker: [looks at Harry curiously] You need... Spider-Man's blood?

[Peter sits; Harry looks at him intensely]

Harry Osborn: It'll save my life.

Peter Parker: It may not, Har. It may not be that simple. You saw what happened to Curt Connors, right?

Harry Osborn: Connors was weak. This is me, Peter.

Peter Parker: I don't think you can just set up a van and have him donate. I mean, I'm sure he's sensitive about people shoving needles and...

Harry Osborn: Ah, he's sensitive, OK. Well, then, maybe you could just "sensitively" tell me where he is, and I will go ask him myself!

Peter Parker: What?

Harry Osborn: [looks at the press photo] You took his picture.

Peter Parker: So?

Harry Osborn: You know him.

Peter Parker: Harry, I took the picture from a long way away. I used a long lens. I don't know him.

Harry Osborn: I put together what you said at the river.

Peter Parker: What I--?

Harry Osborn: About how he gives people hope. Come on. Just say yes.

[Peter looks around anxiously, gets up and walks to the door; Harry pulls him around to face him]

Harry Osborn: Don't turn your back on me! I don't want to end up like my father, Peter. Please. Peter, please. I can't.

[Peter avoids Harry's gaze; Harry desperately wraps his arms around Peter]

Harry Osborn: Please.

Peter Parker: [grey-faced, pulls away from Harry] I'm gonna try and find Spider-Man.

[Peter and Gwen are hiding in a maintenance closet]

Gwen Stacy: There was an accident in the genomics lab, and they're covering it up. And I found out. That guy from Times Square last night? I met him. He was an electrical engineer in the building. And he loved Spider-Man, by the way. He was, like, a fanatic.

Peter Parker: I didn't get love vibes last night. I got more of a "want to kill me with his electricity" vibe.

Gwen Stacy: That's actually kind of what it's like to love you. I was searching for him in the computer and all the files. He's erased.

Peter Parker: My God.

Gwen Stacy: He's completely erased.

Peter Parker: That's Oscorp.

Gwen Stacy: And what about you? Why are you here?

Peter Parker: Harry.

Gwen Stacy: Osborn?

Peter Parker: He's dying.

Gwen Stacy: What do you mean?

Peter Parker: He's dying, and he thinks the only thing that's gonna save his life is my blood; Spider-Man's blood. And as far as I know, if I give it to him, it could kill him.

Gwen Stacy: Or something worse.

Peter Parker: I know. This is the maintenance closet, Gwen. This is the most clichéd hiding place you could've chosen. This is the stupidest hiding place.

Gwen Stacy: [sarcastically] Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't take us to the Bahamas of hiding places.
